Chapter 431 Xiao Yu is still so young
Wu Jianguo went downstairs with a lot of doubts in his mind.
Yu Hui, who was chatting with Teacher Li, saw him coming down and stood up to greet him.
"Political Commissar Wu."
"It's Xiaoyu, sit down, sit down." Wu Jianguo sat next to his wife with a smile on his face.
Yu Hui held Beibei and sat down again.
Wu Jianguo: "I heard Chaochao say you wanted to ask me something?"
Yu Hui smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'd like to ask, Political Commissar Wu, do you know any retired unemployed veterans? I'd like to hire one to work as a night security guard in our store. Our store is full of women, and it would be unsafe if someone with ulterior motives targeted us."
Wu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment and said, "That's indeed not very safe."
"Do you have any requirements for people?"
Yu Hui: "I don't have any requirements. As long as he's strong and can accept working the night shift in the shop, the salary is fifty yuan a month."
Wu Jianguo raised his eyebrows. Fifty yuan a month is not a low salary.
"Now that you mention it, I do have a suitable candidate. He used to be a squad leader under Gu Huai. He injured his hand during training, and two fingers on his right hand are not very flexible. We originally wanted to keep him in the army to be in charge of procurement for the kitchen squad, but he is a strong-willed person and chose to retire directly."
"He's not even willing to do the other work the organization has assigned him, saying he doesn't want to cause any trouble for them. I heard he hasn't found a proper job yet. If you think he's suitable, I'll call someone over tomorrow night and you can come to my house and take a look."
He was a good soldier. If he hadn't been injured like that, he would have had a good chance of being promoted if he had stayed in the army.
"Okay." When Yu Hui heard that they were soldiers under Gu Huai, she agreed without hesitation.
"Oh, right." Yu Hui looked at Wu Jianguo again and asked, "Commissar Wu, have you heard from my Gu Huai? Did he say when he'll be back?"
An unnatural look flashed across Wu Jianguo's face. "This, this should be coming soon. I'm not particularly sure about the details."
"Oh..." A look of loss flashed across Yu Hui's face, and she stood up holding Beibei.
"It's alright then, I'll go back first."
"I'll see you off." Teacher Li stood up and walked Yu Hui to the door.
"Xiao Yu, take care."
After Yu Hui left, Teacher Li returned to the house and looked at her husband, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyebrows pinched, and asked, "Did something happen to Xiao Gu?"
"Who told you that?" Wu Jianguo suddenly became nervous.
Teacher Li frowned, it seemed that something really happened.
"Do I need anyone to tell me? I guessed it from the look on your face just now."
Wu Jianguo showed a helpless look on his face. He really couldn't hide anything from the sharp-eyed teacher Li.
"What happened to Gu Huai?" Teacher Li asked in a low voice.
Wu Jianguo waved at her, motioning her to come closer.
Teacher Li sat next to him and leaned over to listen.
"Ah, how could this happen? What if... what will happen to Xiao Yu and the children?"
Teacher Li felt heartbroken just thinking about it.
Wu Jianguo: "If something really happened, the organization would definitely not ignore them."
During the meeting today, Division Commander Zhan also mentioned this matter.
Teacher Li: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu is still so young!"
Wu Jianguo: "Gu Huai had already written the divorce papers before he left. Deng Tuan has them. As long as Xiao Yu wants to leave, the organization will directly approve it, and she will also give her everything she deserves."
Teacher Li glared at her husband unhappily. "Is this a matter of whether Xiaoyu wants to leave or not?"
Wu Jianguo: "I know what you mean, but there's nothing we can do about it."
"Why……"
The next day after work, Yu Hui went to Political Commissar Wu's house and met the retired veteran Shang Yuanming he mentioned.
"Xiao Shang, this is your Battalion Commander Gu's wife, Yu Hui."
A tall, dark-skinned, handsome young man in a green military uniform saluted Yu Hui.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
"Hello, hello." Yu Hui noticed that when the other party saluted, his index finger and middle finger were slightly curled up and could not be straightened.
"Xiao Yu, this is Shang Mingyuan turning twenty-eight today."
Yu Hui nodded, and Wu Jianguo asked the two to sit down.
Shang Mingyuan took a look at his young sister-in-law and cursed the battalion commander in his heart for being such a bad boy. He was an old cow eating young grass and he could even lay his hands on such a young girl.
"Comrade Shang, I want you to do something. Political Commissar Wu should have told you, right?" Yu Hui looked at Shang Mingyuan and asked.
Shang Mingyuan nodded. "The political commissar has already said it. As long as my sister-in-law likes me and doesn't mind my disability, I'm willing to do anything."
Yu Hui glanced at his hands. "I'm not hiring you to do any delicate work. I'm just going to work the night shift in the store to protect against thieves and people who want to do harm. Your little flaw will definitely not affect the job."
"You were introduced to me by Political Commissar Wu, and you're a soldier under Gu Huai. I trust you. Your shift starts at 8pm and ends at 6am the next morning. You can sleep in if you have nothing to do in the second half of the night."
"The salary is fifty yuan a month. If you don't mind, come to the store tomorrow morning and I'll tell you some things to pay attention to. You'll start work tomorrow evening."
Shang Mingyuan rubbed his hands and said, "Fifty yuan a month is too much. In fact, thirty yuan is about right."
He just worked the night shift and didn't have to do any work. He felt embarrassed to take even thirty yuan, let alone fifty.
Yu Hui smiled. It was the first time she saw someone complaining that the salary was too high.
"There are people who think their salary is too high and ask for a pay cut. 50 yuan is 50 yuan, there's no room for reduction."
Shang Mingyuan: “…”
My sister-in-law looks young, but she is very decisive and has the final say.
The next morning, Shang Mingyuan went to the clothing store according to the address given by Yu Hui. Even though he was a man, his eyes lit up when he saw the clothes hanging in the store.
I thought to myself that when he got his salary, he would buy a skirt for my sister.
Shang Mingyuan has many brothers and sisters in his family, including two older brothers, an older sister and a younger brother.
Ever since he injured his hand and refused the job arranged by the organization and retired from the army, his whole family didn't understand him.
His parents and two brothers were even more disgusted with him because he was disabled, and they would say derogatory and belittling words to him at home every day.
Because he couldn't find a job, he couldn't help but talk back when his eldest brother scolded him and started fighting with him, so he was kicked out of the house by his parents.
Only his elder sister and two younger sisters did not despise him. His elder sister even let him live in her house and sleep in the same room with her little nephew, allowing him to feel the warmth of his family.
When a person has no future, his closest family members are often the ones who look down on him. Shang Mingyuan has a deep understanding of this point and feels disheartened.
So he didn't tell his family about finding a job this time, but only told his sister. His sister was happy for him and said she would make braised pork for him at noon the next day to celebrate.
He had made up his mind that once he got his salary, he would go to the housing authority to see if he could rent a house and move out of his sister's house.
Although he had lived in his sister and brother-in-law's house for more than a year and his brother-in-law had never been cold to him or driven him away, he could not live in his sister and brother-in-law's house forever.
Of course, when he lived in his sister and brother-in-law's house, he didn't have food and accommodation provided. He would go out every day to do some odd jobs that required heavy lifting and moving, and he would give his sister living expenses when he earned money.
Yu Hui took Shang Mingyuan to familiarize himself with the environment, introduced him to the people in the store, gave him a key to the store, and asked him to come back to work in the evening.
