Zhao Tiejun looked dejected, his mind filled with the saying: "He who mistreats his wife will never have any wealth."
Money is one thing; what he wants is an opportunity, a chance to turn his life around.
Why?
Does assigning jobs have to involve meddling in other people's private affairs?
Many people get promoted, make money, and change wives; why can't he?
"Tiejun, what should we do? Are we really not allowed to go to Beijing?"
Zhao Ping grabbed Zhao Tiejun's hand, bringing someone back to their senses. He slowly lifted his eyelids, his gaze falling on the person whose face was full of resentment.
The phone call that arranged his job was received here. The village chief was there, as was Zhao Ping's mother. They praised him when they heard he had made something of himself.
From that day on, Zhao Ping appeared in front of him every day, and her attire was different from usual.
Because she was the village chief's daughter, her family was relatively well-off, and she was also good-looking, many young men had their eyes on her.
Although most of the villagers are surnamed Zhao, they are all beyond the fifth degree of mourning, so they can definitely get married.
But she placed her eyes on herself.
When asked why, she said it was a crush she'd had since childhood, which she'd always kept hidden.
Hearing that he was leaving his hometown and might not come back, I couldn't help but express my feelings, hoping that he would spend some time with me before he left, so that I could fulfill my childhood wish.
Between his dull and rigid wife and his quirky young lover, the mundane routine of life and the allure of a seductive romance that brought him pleasure, he ultimately succumbed to Libra's thirst for excitement.
Then the idea of taking her to Beijing came to mind.
Looking back now, I realize that she used to never even greet me when we met, but all her enthusiasm came after I answered that phone call.
So all that childhood infatuation was fake; she just wanted to get away from this godforsaken mountain village.
“Didn’t you hear that? Why are you asking me? Zhao Ping, if you hadn’t come between me and Zhao Di, my chance to stand up wouldn’t have been taken away.”
Zhao Tiejun took a deep breath, shook off her hand, his eyes devoid of affection, and walked out dejectedly.
He had two opportunities in his life to leave this barren land.
The first option was to join the army, but he was unlucky and didn't achieve any great merit, so he ended up on the layoff list.
The second was a job in Beijing, where success was within reach, but due to some scheming, he ended up getting himself caught in the crossfire.
He did want to start his own business, but he had neither the capital nor the courage to take the plunge.
When her hopes were dashed, Zhao Ping felt dizzy and disoriented. The gentleness she usually put on vanished, and she almost frantically pulled Zhao Tiejun back.
"No, absolutely not! Call him back and tell him to cancel his decision. We've already bought the train tickets and we can leave for Beijing right away. Call him now, call him quickly!"
"I want to work in the city, I must work in the city, you can't take my job back, you can't."
Zhao Tiejun lost his footing and stumbled backward. In a panic, he grabbed Zhao Ping's hand, and the two of them tumbled down, looking extremely disheveled.
The two Zhao mothers were heartbroken and had no time to pay attention to them.
Four people, four different feelings.
Shishi squatted down next to Song Yingchun and raised her eyebrows at her arrogantly.
"See? This is what happens to those who lack virtue. My work is only for kind people. Sister, are you happy now?"
Song Yingchun was in a great mood. "Boss, I'm very happy. Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner at the state-run restaurant."
"No need. Where's your luggage? Have you packed it properly?"
"I've kept it safe. I left it with a friend. I'll pick it up later."
What's your friend's name?
"Chen Li is a very good woman. Her husband, Zhao Ping'an, treats her very well, and her daughter is well-behaved. Ignoring her in-laws, she is very happy."
Yesterday, she went back to the village to find Chen Li to get her luggage, but Zhao Tiejun saw her and forcibly dragged her back to Zhao's house, where he locked her up for the whole night.
It's that person. He's actually quite good.
“Let’s go together, let’s go now, the plane that’s picking us up is coming soon. Tell me, what talents do Chen Li and her husband have?”
The word "airplane" startled Song Yingchun, then her eyes lit up. "Boss, what do you mean..."
"Well, I have quite a few industries to develop, and I need manpower, specifically manpower with good character."
Seeing that there was a chance to get her sisters a chance to return to the city, Song Yingchun talked at length about their abilities.
Of course, she wasn't exaggerating; she was just telling the truth.
Zhao Ping'an is very good at woodworking. In addition to making furniture, he often carves small animals and wooden figures for his daughter to play with, which are very lifelike.
Chen Li was an educated youth sent to the countryside. Before that, she was just a recent graduate with no work experience. However, she had skillful hands and was intelligent. She learned things quickly and was good at weaving straw crafts.
The couple doted on their daughter, Zhao Xiaoxiao, and often went up the mountain to cut some thatch to weave small hats and shoes to decorate their wooden dolls. All the children in the village envied her toys.
The two relied on this craft to make furniture and weave items for families in need in the village in exchange for food, and they lived a fairly good life.
With a skill in hand, you'll never have to worry about food and clothing.
Straw handicrafts? Carved toys?
That's a good option.
"Yes, I want them all. The store doesn't have any of these items."
There are quite a few toy dolls in the space, but there are no factories that produce them, so it's not convenient to display and sell them.
When we get back, we'll set up a toy factory. They need both fabric and wood products. We can bring the two of them back so they can be masters and apprentices. Money makes money, and talent makes talent.
Chen Li and Zhao Ping'an could hardly believe their ears when they heard this incredible good news.
After Chen Li pulled Song Yingchun aside for a private chat, she learned that it was entirely Zhao Ping and Zhao Tiejun's fault for ruining the opportunity, which resulted in the two job openings being transferred to them.
