Chapter 118 Who is the poor relative?

"Does Meimei have a partner?" Chen Guilan asked Wang Yunying again.

She did not approve of Chen Juan's marriage.

But Chen Juan is her niece after all, not her daughter, so she will ask about her when she has time.

Besides, even if she disagreed, she couldn't tell Wang Yunying because they were not that close yet.

"She works overtime all day and has no time to find a partner." Wang Yunying smiled brightly when she talked about this, and her tone was hard to hide her pride. "My daughter Meimei is very ambitious. If there are any good young men in your factory, Guilan, please help Meimei keep an eye out for them."

Among her three children, she is most proud of Chen Mei.

People are smart and the salary is high.

As the eldest daughter, Chen Mei never gave the couple any worries. She even arranged for her younger sister Chen Ju to work at the Fenghua Textile Factory. Her younger brother Chen Jiang was sent to another place by Chen Mei to learn to be a chef. Chen Mei asked him to come back and open a restaurant, saying that three siblings could not all work.

I have to say that Chen Mei has the demeanor of an eldest daughter.

"There aren't any good young people in our factory. They're all working in the workshops." Chen Guilan said with a smile, "Fenghua Textile Factory is a good company. Meimei can just find a job there."

"Oh, aunt, you don't know, all the good young men in our factory have been snatched away by young girls long ago, so how could it be my turn?" Chen Mei said this, but she was actually very proud in her heart. She was the foreman of Fenghua Textile Factory, and Fenghua Textile Factory was a popular unit in Jiao County. She looked down on ordinary young men, but the team leaders she worked with all had partners, and she looked down on the men on the assembly line, so she ended up being single.

But she believed that she could find a better one.

"When fate arrives, it happens." After all, Chen Guilan is an experienced person, so how could she not see Chen Mei's thoughts? "Our Meimei deserves a better young man."

"Look at your aunt, she really loves her own child." Wang Yunying was very happy to hear such words and said happily, "Meimei, if you find a good partner, don't forget your aunt."

"Thank you for your good wishes, aunt." Chen Mei said in a flattering tone.

The three of them had a very pleasant conversation.

After discussing this topic, the mother and daughter had nothing more to say and stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, Chen Mei walked up to Su Jiaojiao and said in a good-tempered manner: "Jiaojiao, cousin will definitely change her straightforward temper in the future. Don't misunderstand me. After all, we are all family, and family members should stick together."

"Squad Leader Chen, don't worry. I won't do anything to you behind your back." Su Jiaojiao sat up from the bed and looked at her calmly. "My principle is, I won't offend others unless they offend me. But I won't hold it against you for what happened today."

On the way back, Wang Yunying complained to Chen Mei, "I said I wouldn't come, but you insisted. Now look what I've done. When have I ever been so servile in front of Chen Guilan? To me, her knowing a few words of Korean is nothing special. You haven't done anything wrong. What can your boss do to you?"

"Mom, today I saw her chatting and laughing with Section Chief Park as they entered the office. I don't know what they talked about. Section Chief Park even personally took her to the warehouse to check the goods. I heard he even gave her half a bolt of cloth. How can I not be worried?" Chen Mei also felt that Su Jiaojiao didn't give her face, and she was furious. "If I could speak Korean and explain to the boss, I wouldn't have done this. I didn't expect Su Jiaojiao to be so arrogant. What's so great about her?"

"How can they not act arrogant when you're begging them?" Wang Yunying, who had never been so cautious around relatives, snorted coldly, "Just look at the room they live in. They're nowhere near as good as us. You don't have to be so cautious. I don't think she'd dare say anything in front of your leaders."

If it weren't for Chen Mei, she wouldn't have come to see Chen Guilan!

As the sister-in-law, Chen Guilan never went to visit them.

"I hope Su Jiaojiao has a conscience." This job is too important to Chen Mei. She will not allow anything that is detrimental to her work to happen. If it weren't for today's incident, she would not care about Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao. Poor relatives will only bring them trouble and are of no use at all.

Half an hour before bedtime became a fixed conversation time for the mother and daughter. Chen Guilan knew that Su Jiaojiao was still awake, so she asked her what happened between her and Chen Mei today. Su Jiaojiao told her everything and said calmly, "Mom, she came to us to get close to us because she saw that I could speak a few words of Korean and could talk to their section chief. Otherwise, she would have stepped on me to death today and she wouldn't have felt she was wrong."

"Your uncle's family is just like that," Chen Guilan frowned. "When we were in the village, your uncle didn't interact much with your second uncle and me. Instead, he was very close to his maternal relatives. His aunt's cousin introduced him to this job. Anyway, he looked down on your second uncle and me because we were incompetent."

Logically speaking, half-siblings are also siblings.

But after all, they were not born from the same mother, so there is always a gap between them.

Chen Guichang had close contacts with his cousins and was always lukewarm towards her and Chen Guisheng.

"I think this is good. It's better not to interact with relatives like this." Su Jiaojiao never wanted to have any intersection with their family. It was enough for her to have one cousin, Chen Juan, and it didn't matter if she didn't recognize the other cousins.

"We all live nearby, so let's just get along." Chen Guilan maintained a conciliatory attitude. "She was wrong to say that to you, but since she's come to apologize, let's not hold it against them."

"I didn't mean to argue with them." Su Jiaojiao is not the kind of person who will not give in even if she is right. She just hates Chen Mei's bullying attitude. In this respect, she is similar to Su Xiumei. Qin Shuang is a hundred times more powerful than them, but she is not as arrogant as them.

A truly capable person is deep, introverted, tolerant and gentle.

People like them who are arrogant are shallow and ignorant.

With Chen Guilan and Li Na around, Su Jiaojiao was not worried about her batch of orders. There was still more than a month before May Day, and not many people would wear short-sleeved shirts at that time. She started selling them in the snack street in advance, and they were almost sold out by summer vacation.

The main reason is that in the next three or four months, Jiali Garment Factory will not have any extra assembly lines to take other orders. This order from Jiahe Group is enough for them to handle. Qin Shuang has been busy clearing out the inventory from the previous year these days. For orders that cannot be postponed and are not in a hurry, they will take some after discussion and put them on the assembly line that makes store clothes.

Chen Guilan is temporarily in charge of production in the new workshop, and can also take care of Su Jiaojiao's T-shirt order, killing two birds with one stone.

Su Jiaojiao had never felt so comfortable before. Even at school, she was full of energy. She had no worries about food and clothing, and she didn't have to worry about tuition and living expenses. On days like this, she would wake up smiling in her dreams.

The learning tasks in the second half of the first year of high school became increasingly intense, and everyone was trying their best to move forward.

The days are tense and boring, but full of motivation.

Even Xue Yuxin seemed to have let go of her hostility towards her. Although she didn't say hello when they met, she didn't act as domineering as before.

Perhaps it was because she had too thick a filter for Su Houli before, and imagined that her mother's life with Su Houli was too beautiful. As a result, when she really entered into his life, she found that everyone's life is a mess.
