"Xiaoxue, come with me to a meeting!"

That day, Lin Xue had just finished checking a document when Supervisor Yu found her!

"Okay, I'll take the bag!"

Lin Xue handed the documents in her hand to her colleague next door, then slung her homemade crossbody bag over her shoulder and followed behind Manager Yu.

Lin Xue now braids her long hair into two four-strand braids, which hang down on either side of her shoulders.

The clothes she wore were also the most fashionable attire at the time.

The shoes on her feet cost 18 yuan a pair.

She was also wearing a slightly worn-out women's watch on her right wrist.

The clothes were made by Lin Xue after she bought the fabric and asked Grandma Wang to make them based on the sample.

The little leather shoes were bought for her by Wang Guoqing when she received her first paycheck.

The watch on her wrist was one she found at a scrap yard and repaired herself.

She not only found herself a women's watch, but also a men's watch for Wang Guoqing.

Although the dial is a bit old, it doesn't affect the time reading.

The watch strap was specially sewn by her from fabric. Although it wasn't as fashionable as a metal watch strap, it was still quite eye-catching in this era.

Therefore, when she walked out of the factory gate, Lin Dabao and his wife, who were waiting outside, did not recognize Lin Xue at all.

However, Lin Xue recognized the two people at a glance, and her brows furrowed imperceptibly.

"Xiaoxue, the meeting we're attending is about year-end bonuses. I'm telling you beforehand so we can be prepared if they ask!"

After leaving the factory gate, Lin Xue and Supervisor Yu each pushed their bicycles and chatted as they walked.

"Do you know those two people?"

Seeing Lin Xue's gaze frequently drifting towards the two people at the door, Manager Yu glanced at them discreetly as well.

"That man is my older brother, and that woman is my sister-in-law. They probably found out I work at the machine factory and came over beforehand to confirm!"

When Supervisor Yu asked, Lin Xue didn't hide anything and directly revealed their identities.

"Are they the same bunch of spineless brothers who rely on their married daughters to support their families? They look slick and oily, but they don't seem like they can endure hardship!"

As they walked, Manager Yu shared his first impression of the two men.

“My parents doted on my eldest brother the most. Almost all the work points in the family were earned by my second and third brothers and their wives. My eldest brother could only work in the fields a few times a year!”

"Oh dear, my family is really pathetic. They've ruined their perfectly good son!"

"Although my other two older brothers also work in the fields to earn work points, most of the time they just pretend to do it and slack off to get by!"

"My second and third sisters-in-law have really suffered. I don't know how they've managed to live with my two brothers all these years!"

When the other two sisters-in-law of the Lin family were mentioned, Lin Xue frowned even more deeply.

Those two women looked like they had some serious illness.

She treated those two good-for-nothing men as her heavens, never daring to have the slightest thought of disobeying them.

The man spends his days fishing in the fields, while his wife works herself to the bone.

What kind of families are these?

Fortunately, when Lin Xue transmigrated, Lin Xueni had already married out of the country.

Otherwise, facing that family of scoundrels, Lin Xue worried that she might not be able to resist strangling them one by one.

"The kind of life you live is your own choice!"

"What we look down on might be what other people enjoy!"

Seeing that Lin Xue was in a bad mood, Supervisor Yu did not bring it up again.

"Let's hurry up, it won't look good if we're late!"

Supervisor Yu placed his left foot on the bicycle pedal, pushed off the ground a few times with his right foot, and then sat on the back of the bicycle, which was then steadily ridden away.

Seeing that Supervisor Yu had left, Lin Xue quickly got on her bicycle and followed closely behind.

The Lin couple, who were still waiting anxiously at the door, were watching Lin Xue and her husband's backs and whispering to each other.

"Honey, look how well those city girls dress! Once I get that brat Lin Xueni's salary, I'll buy you an outfit like this!"

Lin Dabao squatted in the corner and secretly touched his wife's waist.

"What are you doing? It's broad daylight and we're still outside!"

Lin Dabao's action startled his wife quite a bit. She quickly looked around and, after finding no one, patted her chest in relief.

"I touched my own daughter-in-law, who did it bother? Just tell me if you want it or not!"

Lin Dabao didn't take any of this seriously at all, and his hand unconsciously reached towards his wife's waist.

"Hey, be serious! We've been waiting here all day and your sister still hasn't come out. Could Mother's information be wrong?"

Lin Dabao's wife simply couldn't believe that Lin Xue could come to work at the machinery factory.

How could that idiot get a job at a machine factory?

Are you kidding me?

You should know that there are two men in Old Wang's family at home!

If there were job opportunities, they would definitely be given to the Wang Guodong or Wang Guoliang brothers, how could they possibly give Lin Xue an outsider as a wife!

Especially after waiting all day without seeing Lin Xue come out, Lin Dabao's wife became even more determined in her mind.

It's certain that her mother-in-law received incorrect information, otherwise how could they have failed to catch anyone?

"I also think that brat Lin Xueni would never work at the machine factory, but Mother insists that my little sister is here!"

"Sigh, let's keep watching. If we still haven't seen that brat Lin Xueni by the time we get off work this afternoon, we'll have something to tell Mom when we get back!"

Seeing that his wife wasn't cooperating with him, Lin Dabao felt bored, so he stood up and started wandering around the factory's perimeter wall.

The gatekeeper saw that the two had been there for a long time and said they were waiting for someone, but who knew what they were doing there?

Fortunately, the two didn't bother anyone else, so the gatekeeper didn't bother them.

As long as they weren't too close to the main gate, he wouldn't bother going up to chase them away.

It wasn't that the gatekeeper didn't want to chase them away; after all, it was really unsightly for two people to be squatting at the entrance of the machinery factory.

Unfortunately, every time he tried to get close, the couple would disappear without a trace.

As soon as he returned, people would eagerly stroll back.

What could he do? He could only let it be!

Here we have to admire Lin Xue's resourcefulness. Back when she was taking the graduation exam, Lin Xue asked the brigade leader to help her change her name.

Although only one word was omitted, it saved a lot of trouble.

For example, today Lin Dabao and his companion came to the machinery factory to inquire about her, but everyone said there was no such person as Lin Xueni.

Some people even asked them if they had remembered the name wrong, because there was only one clerk in the factory named Lin Xue, and no one named Xue Ni.

But Lin Dabao and his companion were stubborn and insisted that his sister's name was Lin Xueni, not Lin Xue.

Furthermore, neither of them believed that the illiterate country girl could become a factory worker.

That job requires someone to be extremely educated!

Even if you beat them to death, they would never believe that a rural woman who couldn't read a single word could suddenly become the son of a high-ranking official.
