Lin Yu wasn't very familiar with Haicheng either, so she didn't know what to do: "It's okay, take your time looking, no need to rush."
This line of work is very lucrative; Da Tou is definitely rich, and he also has a job, so he has no problem making a living.
Lin Yu advised him, "The most important thing in life is to be content with what you have."
What Da Tou did was actually illegal. He should be content with the money he made; there's no benefit in going too far.
Da Tou isn't someone who can't listen to advice.
He also had his own difficulties: "Of course, I only have myself to feed, but many of my brothers rely on this to make a living."
Those brothers all have large families, and they only have one job.
It is very difficult to support a family.
In order not to be a burden on their families, they had no choice but to go out and find a way out for themselves.
Lin Yu thought for a moment and suggested, "Now that you have money, why not think of a way to buy a job?"
Although jobs are hard to find these days, if you ask around and can afford the money, you can always find one.
“I know they make money too easily here and feel that the wages at regular jobs are too low. But you also have to think about it, this is ultimately unstable. If you have a job, that's a safety net.”
Although factory workers will eventually be laid off after more than a decade, at present, factory workers' jobs are the most stable.
Moreover, these people, though unemployed, looked radiant with health and vitality.
Anyone who sees this would suspect that they've been doing something to make money behind the scenes.
Having a job at least allows you to cover things up to some extent and give yourself an excuse.
Big Head listened thoughtfully; he hadn't thought about these things before.
He didn't care about his brothers' private lives; he only focused on making money for them.
Now that I think about it, it's obvious there's something fishy about how they can eat so well without having a job.
It might have already been noticed by someone.
The more Da Tou thought about it, the more frightened he became. Their group was interconnected; if even one of them was caught, the whole group might be wiped out.
"Sister Yu, I understand. I'll find a chance to talk to them."
Seeing that he understood, Lin Yu said nothing more.
She actually found it amazing that these people had been doing this for so long without being caught.
Aren't the people in the neighborhood office curious?
It can only be said that they were lucky and didn't encounter any serious officials.
If it really gets noticed, it's hard to explain.
After saying this, Lin Yu handed Da Tou a package: "This is something I brought for you."
Big Head caught it: "It's so heavy, what is it?"
Lin Yu gestured for him to open it and introduced it:
"Dried fruit, canned fruit, dried mushrooms, sweet potato vermicelli."
Big Head's eyes widened: "This, this is too much of a waste!"
He's selling things, so of course he knows their value.
Canned fruit is very expensive, and dried fruit and dried mushrooms won't be cheap if he were to sell them.
These are rather special; only wealthy people would buy them to try, and they wouldn't care too much about the price.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "You don't know yet, do you? I set up a food factory over there, and all of these are made by myself."
Da Tou had heard her say that she had gone to find her biological parents.
But I never expected her to open a factory.
"Sister Yu, you're not kidding, are you? You can open a factory?"
He covered his mouth and whispered, "Aren't you afraid of getting arrested?"
Does this mean that small places don't crack down on speculation and profiteering?
Lin Yu knew he had misunderstood: "Why are you arresting me? Our factory is run by the commune."
Lin Yu then explained to him the origins of the food factory.
Da Tou felt that Lin Yu was practically glowing with golden light at that moment: "You're amazing!"
Shouldn't you get covered in dirt and grime when you go to the countryside?
How could she be even more capable than before, having become the factory manager!
Big Head could tell at a glance that these things would definitely sell well, and that the food factory was making a lot of money.
Lin Yu told him to tuck his chin in: "These are for you, you can try them. I'll be going now if there's nothing else."
To be honest, Lin Yu felt a little embarrassed by his praise to her face.
So she decided to flee.
After leaving Da Tou Na, she still needs to find her real friends.
She's lived in Haicheng for over a decade; how could she not have one or two good friends?
Lin Yu's friend is Tao Xinxin, who was her deskmate in junior high school.
When Lin Yu left four years ago, he only had time to say goodbye to her, and they haven't been in contact since.
After all, she didn't want anyone to know her whereabouts at that time, and writing a letter to Tao Xinxin would easily expose her.
The Tao family lived in a dormitory building in the textile factory. When Lin Yu arrived, many people looked at her with puzzled expressions.
An elderly woman asked her, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The old woman scrutinized her with sharp eyes, as if trying to see through her to determine if she was a bad person.
The residents of the family quarters were all textile factory workers, and everyone knew each other.
A stranger suddenly walks in, so naturally, he has to be questioned.
Lin Yu smiled and slipped a milk candy to the old lady: "Hello, ma'am."
The old lady's eyes lit up when she saw the milk candy. "This is good," she said, "I'll take it."
I'll give it to my grandson later.
Her attitude softened considerably: "Young lady, who are you looking for here?"
Seeing the change in the old woman's expression, Lin Yu wasn't surprised: "Yes, I'm looking for the Tao family. Tao Xinxin and I are classmates."
She had only been here with Tao Xinxin before, and didn't know which room Tao Xinxin lived in.
The old woman immediately knew who it was: "Is it the potter's family? They're the only family with the surname Tao here. Look, it's 302. Go ahead."
Lin Yu didn't know Tao Xinxin's father's name either, but since there was only one family with the surname Tao here, it must be him.
She thanked the old lady, then climbed upstairs and knocked on the door of apartment 302.
In the tenement buildings, people usually cook in the outdoor corridors, and the Tao family had a stove outside.
The door opened, revealing the figure of a woman inside.
"Little girl, who are you looking for?"
Lin Yu said politely, "Hello, is this Tao Xinxin's home? I'm her classmate."
Upon hearing this, the woman opened the door wide and said with a smile, "You're Xin Xin's classmate? Come in and sit down. I'm her mother."
Hello, Auntie.
Lin Yu greeted her politely and handed her the gift she had brought.
Tao's mother smiled even more sincerely: "You're here, why did you bring anything?"
Lin Yu looked at their home, which was only about 40 square meters in size. Originally a one-bedroom apartment, the room had been divided into two.
The living room outside was very cramped.
This is the current living situation for many working-class families.
Tao's mother poured her a glass of water and said, "Haven't you been in touch with Xin Xin for a long time?"
Lin Yu paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, how did you know?"
Tao's mother said with a smile, "Xin Xin got married and doesn't live here anymore."
Lin Yu was genuinely surprised this time.
Four years have passed, and all my friends have gotten married.
Lin Yu told the truth: "We haven't been in contact for four years."
Tao's mother suddenly realized: "Isn't your name Qiao Yu?"
