Chapter 102 Able to take care of children and earn money at the same time
She's really a smart person. On the one hand, she used Qiao Nianyu's connections to find herself a new and good job. On the other hand, she was able to stir up trouble to reassure Qiao Nianyu and also gave Shen Yuzhu an opportunity to show her goodwill.
Overall, this incident isn't a big deal. As long as those few people are willing to back down, it can be resolved peacefully.
Shen Yuzhu never wanted to interfere in other people's love affairs, but Wu Chen had been kind to Shen Yuming.
"What about Wu Chen...?"
"I love him."
"OK."
After Shen Yuzhu left, Zhu Man breathed a sigh of relief. Her hands were trembling with nervousness. Marriage and work were the best support she could earn for herself.
As for Qiao Nianyu, well... she's just a woman who only knows how to scheme and plot.
Both Zhao Yue and Ren Baobei had leaders sitting in their hospital rooms, and they were all trying to persuade them not to make a big deal out of it, even though they were injured.
After thinking it over and over, Shen Yuzhu gave the leaders an idea.
That day, the leader arranged a meal in the cafeteria, inviting both parties involved in the incident.
There's constant fighting at home; we can't even have a single day of peace.
"I've invited everyone here today to try and resolve this matter. This incident has had a very negative impact on the family compound, and I think everyone wants a quick resolution. My suggestion is that we reach a settlement after this meal, is that alright?"
The others remained silent. The women wanted to speak, but were afraid of saying the wrong thing, so they didn't dare to open their mouths for a moment.
"Stop acting all high and mighty. Didn't Commander Li tell you to apologize to those young ladies right now? Do you hear me?"
"And you, what are you standing there for?"
"snort!"
........
Some people don't even need to say a word; just a glare from them can make someone tremble with fear.
Shen Yuzhu now finally understood what her sisters-in-law were talking about. Rather than talking about her work or serving her husband, they were saying they envied the good relationship between the couple and thought Zhou Congsheng was a doting husband.
"There's no need for apologies. These past two days, the sisters-in-law have brought a lot of things to Baby and Xiaoyue's hospital room. Actually, we all live in the same family compound and see each other all the time. There's no deep-seated grudge. Everyone is responsible for this, so let's just let it go."
Shen Yuzhu spoke up, and her sisters-in-law immediately echoed her. They had heard that she was difficult to talk to and had resented her, thinking that the couple was really making a big deal out of nothing and trying to embarrass everyone.
But now that they're willing to let it go, they'll definitely cooperate!
“Our unit is actually much better off than other places. It’s much harder to find jobs in other places, and there are so many military spouses waiting in line. Commander, I’m thinking, why don’t we create some job opportunities? That way, the wives will have something to do and they won’t have time to chat idly. What do you think?”
"Xiao Shen, what you're saying are problems that have been a headache for the regiment. The positions are fixed, and it's not something you can just arrange. The military spouses have varying levels of education, and those with some education have all been assigned to positions. You know what... sigh!"
Shen Yuzhu smiled and looked at everyone, saying, "In Heilongjiang Province, we can't go out in winter. The cold is so bad it chills us to the bone. If there were jobs that could be done at home, wouldn't that solve these problems?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Yuzhu. If such a thing really happened, then Shen Yuzhu would be the benefactor of everyone in the family compound. From now on, she would not only be able to walk sideways, but even if she had to lie down, someone would carry her.
Shen Yuzhu originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but she didn't expect that there were other people behind it, and now she was put on this high platform.
She could either make a superficial reconciliation with these women, remaining enemies from then on, or she could completely offend them, facing unseen difficulties and ridicule until she and Zhou Congsheng left.
“Our unit has an ordnance factory. If you could help produce these hair clips, headbands, and small beads, and the textile factory could provide some scraps of fabric and offcuts, the wives of soldiers are all skilled at needlework. I have a few blueprints here; you'll understand once you take a look. Also, not only these headwear items, but also waste materials from the leather factory and glue specially purchased from the furniture factory can be used to make these small ornaments, hair clips, headbands, hair ornaments, corsages, belts, bags, etc. Then, the leaders can negotiate with the government leaders to put the things made by our military wives into the supply and marketing cooperatives to sell. There will definitely be sales.”
Everyone: "..."
Everyone has a brain, so how come Comrade Shen's brain is so amazing?
Zhou Congsheng coughed twice, and seeing that everyone was looking at Shen Yuzhu... and him, he straightened his back.
His wife is truly outstanding!!!
"This hair accessory is so pretty! Can we really make it with needle and thread?"
Shen Yuzhu shook her head and said, "Needle and thread alone is definitely not enough. There is also glue. If you ladies are interested, I have some fabric scraps here. I can teach you how to make it. After you finish, bring it to me for inspection. If it is up to standard, I will let the leaders negotiate and set a price. This is related to the jobs and livelihoods of all of us unemployed military wives. I think the leaders will definitely pay attention to it."
This way, you can stay home to take care of your children and do housework, and also have a way to earn money. Who wouldn't be happy?
The sisters-in-law had no complaints at all. They were extremely grateful to Shen Yuzhu and the others. Without their husbands urging them, they kept thanking and apologizing, praising them.
Shen Yuzhu's idea quickly spread throughout the family compound, and the Guan family mother and daughter frowned upon hearing it.
"I didn't expect it to cause such a big fuss, and this woman just dealt with it so easily."
"Mom, I told you long ago, this person is not simple."
"Hmph, let her be arrogant. She'll get her comeuppance someday, ptooey!"
When the mother and daughter returned home, they saw Company Commander Guan looking at them with a dark expression. Guan's mother was anxious, thinking that something had happened, and hurried over to him.
"Her dad, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Smack!"
"Ah, you, you hit me?" Guan Yiting was also startled and quickly went over to hug her mother, looking at the company commander in disbelief. Her father had always been good to her mother, and this was the first time he had ever hit her.
Company Commander Guan snorted coldly, "I'm hitting you, you fool. Didn't I tell you last time not to make enemies with Zhou Congsheng's wife? You just wouldn't listen. Do you want to kill Yiting before you're satisfied?"
"What did I do wrong? How could I possibly kill Yiting? She's my precious daughter, I'm heartbroken for her. What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Do you think nobody knows about what you and those gossipy old women were saying? Let me tell you, I had someone mediate. Zhou Congsheng warned me that if I continued to mess with his wife, he would release the recording. Have you forgotten about that?"
Upon hearing this, the Guan mother and daughter turned deathly pale and shrank back timidly. The cassette tape was like a knife held to their throats, and they didn't know when it would fall.
