"Don't be nervous, I was just asking casually. Miaomiao said you helped her today, and you also helped with the garlic. I can agree to anything you want."

Meng Shuyun frowned in thought. She realized she lacked so much, everything. His words were clearly an attempt to distance himself from the situation.

She went along with it, saying, "Da Shun is an unregistered resident. Since he has recognized me as his godmother, I'd like to help him get adopted. Do you know if you have any connections?"

Zhang Zhenhui was taken aback by her request. He had expected her to ask for money, a car, fame, and fortune, but he never imagined it would turn out this way.

"Okay, no other requirements?" Zhang Zhenhui looked over tentatively.

Meng Shuyun shook her head to indicate that was all, and spread her hands, saying, "Director Zhang has already helped us a lot. It's getting late, and I need to hurry back, so I won't bother you any longer."

After leaving the Zhang family, Li Dashun and Su Xiuju looked at Meng Shuyun, who had empty hands, with curiosity.

"Mother, what benefits did Factory Director Zhang promise?"

"Yes, Mother, Director Zhang is the most generous to us, he won't treat you unfairly."

Meng Shuyun gave each of them a chestnut, and said irritably, "We only helped them a little bit. Today, everyone was willing to lend us their cars, which is already a great kindness. Why are you always thinking about what others have done for you?"

You can only feel at ease using what you earn with your own hard work.

go home."

At night, the kerosene lamp was lit in the room.

Holding needle and thread, Meng Shuyun watched Su Xiuju diligently making masks and tentatively asked, "Xiuju, have you decided on the job as a broadcaster?"

Su Xiuju put down her needlework and took out the letter of introduction from under her pillow.

Under the light of the kerosene lamp, Su Xiuju's almond-shaped eyes were bright and captivating, like sparkling stars.

"Mom, I've made up my mind. I want to try being a broadcaster."

Meng Shuyun nodded, tears welling in her eyes, her heart filled with joy. It was good that Xiuju had come to her senses.

She turned around and took out a cloth bag from under her pillow, opened it, and found several envelopes inside.

"This is compensation from those beasts, a thousand yuan. Keep it safe; it's yours to begin with. Tomorrow, Mom will open a savings account for you. From now on, you're an adult, and you can manage your own money."

“Let’s do mask business. I’ll buy the sewing machine, and you’ll get a share of the profits.”

Mentioning those beasts, Su Xiuju lowered her head and bit her lip. Then, upon hearing that her mother was going to give her a share of the money, she quickly grabbed Meng Shuyun's wrist, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Mother, what's mine is yours. You can keep the money; I don't need it."

Meng Shuyun wiped away Su Xiuju's tears, her own eyes reddening. "You silly child, there's no reason to refuse money."

Money is the foundation of a woman's life, giving her peace of mind wherever she goes.

"Keep this safe. I'll take you to open a bank account and for the interview tomorrow."
