Chapter 470: Cheating children out of their New Year’s money!
Apprentices also need connections or indicators.
Moreover, apprentices’ wages are very low, and some even have no money at the beginning.
Even so, many people want to come to the factory.
Because they know that once they get a permanent job, it will be a stable job.
It’s so difficult to find a good job nowadays!
Meng Xiaoxiao asked several people, and they all gave the same answer.
Some even asked her with a puzzled look on their faces: "You can ask your father or mother to help you find one. They know a lot of people, so they must be able to find a way!"
Meng Xiaoxiao looked miserable. How could she dare to put the two of them in front of her parents? What if they got suspicious?
After running all day, she was exhausted and hungry. In the past, she could buy some snacks when she was hungry, but where could she buy snacks now? She had already given the money she had to Father Xia and the others.
The key is that the money won't last for more than a few days. The two of them don't have jobs in Beijing, and they haven't thought about going out to find a place to make money. Meng Xiaoxiao doesn't dare to let them come to her.
But now she has nothing left. The last time she bought a sewing machine, she had to borrow money from her grandmother.
"Xiaoxiao, you're back?" Feng Wanjun walked out, her eyes slightly red.
"Mom, it's already so late, why haven't you cooked yet? I'm starving!"
Meng Xiaoxiao complained that she had not yet paid back the money she borrowed from her grandmother last time, and if she borrowed again, the old lady would probably be unhappy.
How about asking her mother for some? Meng Xiaoxiao thought that was a bit inappropriate.
If it doesn’t work, ask Xiaodong for some.
This brat has a lot of money saved up, and he has never spent it. She is his sister, so he won't refuse to lend it to her, right? Besides, it's not like she won't pay him back.
"Xiaoxiao, what did you do today?"
Feng Wanjun asked casually, and Xiaoxiao didn't care: "Mom, I'm just bored at home, so I went out to look for my old friends. I haven't been in Beijing for such a long time, and if I don't contact them, they won't know who I am!"
"Do you know that you haven't been in Beijing for a long time? Look at what you have done recently for a man!"
Feng Wanjun complained and went into the kitchen.
She still felt very sad. What if... Meng Zhenting's guess was correct, this daughter whom she had raised with great difficulty was not her biological daughter? And she had not just gone to meet her friend, but her biological father.
But her daughter definitely didn't tell her the truth, Feng Wanjun still felt very uncomfortable. It was normal for a daughter to have her own thoughts when she grew up, but if Meng Xiaoxiao knew that Xia Liang was their biological daughter, and still used their interpretation to deal with Xia Liang...
"Oh, Mom, I won't do that again!" Meng Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Mom, I'm tired. I'll go back and lie down for a while. Call me when dinner is ready!"
Because of the disease Meng Xiaoxiao has, she cannot overwork herself and should just have a good rest.
But in the current situation, how could she possibly rest well? After all, the two people were still waiting for her outside. If she didn't make arrangements for them, Meng Xiaoxiao couldn't guarantee whether they would find her home.
That's not a reasonable person.
She thought of what Xia's father said. It was difficult for those two people to find jobs now. What if Xia Jing came out?
Nowadays, Xia Liang is still making clothes in the compound, but only on weekends.
If there was one more here, business would be booming!
If Xia Jing could be brought out and allowed to make clothes peacefully, wouldn't those two people be able to calm down a lot? After all, making clothes really makes money, would the two of them still come out to mess around if they had money?
Meng Xiaoxiao thought, it was not because of how good her relationship with Xia Jing was, but because it was really difficult for those two to find jobs.
She couldn't get the person out with her own ability, so she had to ask her father to help. How should she tell her father?
And what she needs most now is money!
Meng Xiaoxiao frowned and started with her younger brother.
Thinking of this, she turned directly into the next room. Meng Xiaodong was lying on the table, not knowing what he was doing.
"Xiaodong!"
Meng Xiaoxiao shouted, but Meng Xiaodong didn't even turn around.
Recently, the fat boy's attitude towards Meng Xiaoxiao has been lukewarm.
"Are you still angry? Xiaodong, you are already a little man. You won't be handsome if you are angry!"
Xiaodong snorted: "What do you want?"
"Xiaodong, how dare you say that to me? Believe it or not, I will tell our mother!"
Meng Xiaoxiao looked at her brother unhappily. She didn't know what was wrong with this kid. He had been at odds with her since he was a child. He never stood by her when she encountered problems. She suspected that this brother was picked up and was not her biological child!
"You're so old and still know how to complain to your mother! Shame on you!"
Meng Xiao was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but when she thought about the purpose of her visit today, she took a deep breath and put on a smile again: "Xiaodong, you are my brother, how can you be angry with your sister?"
"My sister was hospitalized some time ago, and it wasn't her will. You know that my sister is not in good health!"
"Hey, Xiaodong, sometimes I envy you. Look at how healthy you are. You are nothing like me, who has this disease..."
If it were in the past, the fat boy would have felt a little guilty.
After all, they are siblings. He is in good health, but his sister has heart disease.
But now... thinking that the woman in front of him might not be his sister at all, the fat boy didn't know how to treat her.
Just thinking of what his grandma said, that this matter had not been confirmed yet and should not be told to anyone for the time being, the little fat boy tightly shut his mouth and said nothing more.
"My sister's pocket money has been used up in hospitalization. Xiaodong, you will support her a little, right?"
Meng Xiaoxiao said this with an expectant look on her face. She knew that this little guy had saved a lot of pocket money since he was a child.
But Xiaodong just shook his head: "No!"
"Hey, Xiaodong, why are you so stingy? I know you have pocket money!" Meng Xiaoxiao was also unhappy. She had been so humble to coax this little fat boy, but he still didn't give her any?
Xiaodong shook his head again: "No, I really didn't!"
After saying this, without waiting for Meng Xiaoxiao to reply, the little fat boy turned around and ran out, all the way to the kitchen, and hugged Feng Wanjun's legs: "Mom, my sister is so mean, she actually wanted to cheat me of my New Year's gift money!"
Meng Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the little fat boy would actually complain.
She followed him out, looking a little embarrassed, and quickly explained, "Mom, I was just joking with Xiaodong!"
Feng Wanjun turned around, with a somewhat inexplicable look in her eyes. Unfortunately, Meng Xiaoxiao, who was still angry, didn't pay any attention to her. "Didn't you hear it? Xiaodong, your sister was just joking with you. It's not like she doesn't have New Year's money, so why would she ask you for it?"
