When I came out after finishing, I found Jiang Sui had taken off his coat and was sitting by the well washing clothes.
Xiang Baiwei hurried over: "These are my clothes, I can wash them."
Jiang Sui put his hand into the basin and said, "Don't you think this water is cold?"
"It's okay." Xiang Baiwei stretched out her hand to test the water temperature. "These clothes are quite thin and not dirty. I'll just wash them casually. It's not good for you to wash all the clothes at home by yourself."
"You always say that, but I haven't washed much." Jiang Sui quietly pulled the basin aside, "I see you seem to be cleaning. I'll wash the clothes, you can do something else."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Xiang Baiwei sighed and turned to clean the house.
After sweeping out the garbage, Xiang Baiwei looked at Jiang Sui's back and suddenly felt emotional.
It seemed to be the same in the previous life. Although Jiang Sui was not so considerate as a husband, at least he was a hardworking person.
For example, when it came to washing clothes, in the first few years of their marriage, Jiang Sui insisted on washing his own clothes and refused to let Xiang Baiwei wash his clothes.
Later, after giving birth, when Xiang Baiwei was in confinement, Jiang Sui accidentally learned that touching cold water was bad for women's health. From then on, Xiang Baiwei basically never touched the clothes at home.
Xiang Baiwei held onto the door frame and for the first time, she felt doubtful.
What was Jiang Sui thinking in his previous life?
Jiang Sui, who was concentrating on washing clothes, noticed the gaze behind him. He suddenly turned around and quickly caught Xiang Baiwei's sight: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Xiang Baiwei shook her head gently, "I'm a little tired, I'm standing and resting for a while."
"Just leave it there if you're tired. I'll do it." Jiang Sui replied casually.
Xiang Baiwei swept the garbage into the dustpan: "It's all done."
"We've done it here, too." Jiang Sui put all the clothes that had been rinsed for the last time into the empty basin next to him. "When did you start washing? You've washed so many clothes. I wanted to help you, but I could only rinse all the clothes."
"These clothes aren't very dirty." Xiang Baiwei smiled, "I'm afraid one clothesline in the yard isn't enough. I'll get another one."
At this moment, Chi Kunli's fierce voice came from the yard next door.
It sounded like she was arguing with Zhang Guangcan.
Jiang Sui, who had been puzzled for a long time, took the opportunity to speak: "What does Zhang Guangcan want to do? He is usually so stingy, and this time he actually came to Chi Kunli with something in his hand. It's quite strange."
"The child of their workshop director likes the food from my workshop, and Zhang Guangcan wants to buy it at the lowest price. The prices for my workshop, such as bulk purchases, employee purchases, and purchases from stores in the county or provincial capital, are all different. He wanted to buy it at the store price, but I didn't agree, so he went to find Chi Kunli." Xiang Baiwei hooked one end of the rope on the wall while speaking. "From what I heard, Chi Kunli probably doesn't want to bother with him."
"Is that so?" Jiang Sui nodded. "He has been an outstanding employee for three consecutive years. Maybe he wants to be promoted to a cadre, so he does these things to please the workshop director."
Xiang Baiwei smiled contemptuously: "I don't like his condescending attitude when he speaks. I have my own way of doing things and I make money based on my own abilities. I really don't understand where he gets the confidence to act so superior to me."
Jiang Sui lowered his head and twisted his clothes, hiding the gloating on his face, and at the same time added fuel to the fire: "You two don't even have a chance to talk at work, why is he so high and mighty in front of you?"
It’s not certain how long a stable job will last.
In the next yard, Chi Kunli opened the door impatiently: "Go out, you are really amazing to ask for help with this attitude."
This happened twice in a row.
Even though Zhang Guangcan had prepared himself mentally, he still looked a little embarrassed at this moment: "Chi Kunli, I'm already giving you face by coming to you with a gift."
"Thank you for giving me face, but we can't do what you ask. We have our own production process. We can't do what you say and specially select a batch of the best quality raw materials to make the best quality products for your workshop director and his family." Chi Kunli pointed to the door. "Especially since you want to pay me annually, this is even more impossible. We only pay once for each batch of goods."
Chi Kunli looked at Zhang Guangcan who was angry with her and forced herself to suppress the urge to hit him with a stick.
Is there something wrong with Zhang Guangcan's brain?
If you want to curry favor with your leader, just spend your own money to buy him good things.
Where does he get the confidence to come here and yell at her?
"Chi Kunli, you have to think clearly. This workshop director is in charge of personnel. I remember that you also wanted to work in the rubber factory before, but you couldn't compete with other female workers." Zhang Guangcan said with a hint of cruelty in his tone, "If you help me, you are also helping yourself."
Chi Kunli stretched out her hand and pointed to the door expressionlessly: "Go out, you don't need to worry about my affairs. I can't help you with this. Go away."
Zhang Guangcan was unwilling to leave like this: "If you help me with this, I can give you a cash reward."
Zhang Guangcan thought for a moment and lowered his voice: "Besides, I won't tell Xiang Baiwei about giving you the cash, don't worry."
After saying this, he looked at Chi Kunli expectantly.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Chi Kunli kicked him out of the door: "Get away from me."
Then, Chi Kunli locked the door of her house and went next door: "Weiwei, are you home now? I have something to talk to you about."
"I'm at home, just come in." Xiang Baiwei came around from behind the clothes and faced Chi Kunli. "What's the matter?"
Chi Kunli glanced outside the door angrily and told Xiang Baiwei everything she had just said to Zhang Guangcan: "What does he think of me? Am I that kind of person?"
Xiang Baiwei laughed and gave her a handful of fresh dates: "Don't pay attention to him, he is a sick person."
Chi Kunli was complaining when she found Jiang Sui in the yard. She was startled and pulled Xiang Baiwei into the inner room, saying that she had something else to do. "From what Zhang Guangcan said, he seemed to have come to see you just now?"
Xiang Baiwei, who was looking for snacks for her, nodded: "Yes, she came to see me, what's wrong?"
"Is your boyfriend jealous?" Chi Kunli leaned forward with an uneasy look on her face. "I told you a long time ago that there's something wrong with the way Zhang Guangcan looks at you. You should be careful and don't let your man think too much."
