The third brother shrank his neck. He wanted to discuss it with his second sister-in-law and ask her for help, but his mother saw through him.

Li Fengchun also wanted to do this.

Now both of them lowered their heads to eat, not daring to breathe. They were not sure whether the old lady would really chase them out!

My dearest brother didn't get any favor from me, let alone them.

Li Fengchun was even more afraid, because she still had to rely on her family for her studies! If she pissed off her mother, if she failed the exam next year, she would not let her repeat the year!

Seeing that both of them had listened, Wu Zhiqiu picked up his bag and went out to work!

Uncle Ge at the door greeted her warmly.

The scrap collection station is not far from home, and it takes more than 20 minutes to walk.

Over the years, Wu Zhiqiu has lived frugally and does not even have a bicycle. He takes the 11-hour commute to and from get off work every day.

Li Mancang's bicycle makes noises everywhere except the bell. It makes a creaking sound when he rides it. The chain falls off eight or ten times a day. The scrap bicycles sold by others are better than his.

Wu Zhiqiu arrived at the unit. Their scrap collection station was under the management of the supply and marketing department. There were only three people in the station. She was responsible for collecting at the station, and the other two rode tricycles to collect waste from door to door on the streets!

"Good morning, Sister Wu!" Liu Zhuzi and Han Dazhuang greeted

"Da Zhuang, Zhu Zi, good morning! Where are you going to collect the crops today?"

"I'll go to the North City, Zhuzi will go to the West City, let's go farther!" Dazhuang smiled and rode on the tricycle.

"Sister Wu, let's go!"

"good!"

Wu Zhiqiu is the only one left at the scrap collection station

She registered the things that the two of them had collected yesterday and put them all away. Then she had nothing else to do.

Just waiting for someone to come and sell some junk or something

Although this job is a bit dirty and the salary is low, it is really easy.

Pick up the basket next to you, which contains half-made shoes for Li Mancang.

She scratched her scalp with a needle and continued to make shoes. No one came to sell the scraps in the whole morning.

Wu Zhiqiu quickly packed up, locked the door of the purchasing station, and hurried to take the bus to his boss's workplace.

The eldest brother now works in the Construction Bureau. Although he graduated from university, he has no connections and background, and he is not very good at dealing with people. He is now only a deputy director and earns more than 60 yuan a month.

When Wu Zhiqiu arrived, the Construction Bureau had just finished get off work.

She was waiting at the door, and when she saw the boss coming out of the office building, she quickly called out "Li Xingguo!"

The eldest brother just asked for leave from his boss and was going back to the countryside in the afternoon

I didn't expect to see my mother calling him outside.

What happened? Did I regret asking him for money yesterday? Or did I think he was going abroad for work?

Thinking of this possibility, the eldest brother immediately ran out. If the old lady had figured it out, he wouldn't have to go back to the countryside. Going back to visit all the relatives and friends would cost a lot.

"Mom! Why are you here?" The eldest brother said with a smile on his face.

Wu Zhiqiu didn't know what his father was thinking, he was so happy!

But it doesn't affect her business.

"Boss, give me back the betrothal money you gave to your wife!"

A thunderclap rang in the eldest brother's mind. His mother was not here to talk about the overseas affairs, but to settle the score with him for what happened yesterday!

"Mom, you can't ask for the betrothal gift back after giving it!" The eldest brother said as he pulled his mother aside. Don't let anyone hear it, it would be so embarrassing.

"Even a daughter-in-law can scold her mother-in-law, so why can't I ask for a dowry?" Wu Zhiqiu shook off the eldest brother who was holding her hand, and she said it right at the door of the unit. Others couldn't hear her from far away, so how could she ask for it!
