Although Li Junzhong was not engaged to Zhou Taohua, the Li family always told others that Zhou Taohua was Li Junzhong's fiancée, and even had Zhou Taohua help out in the Li family for three years, serving her parents-in-law, taking care of her younger siblings, and doing everything else.
With so many people and so few jobs, if a position becomes available, countless people will vie for it. Li Junzhong knows that if he loses this job, he will never find one as good again, and his Li family will lose all hope...
So Li Junzhong gave Zhou Taohua two hundred yuan as compensation for the past four years. Yes, he didn't like Zhou Taohua. He thought she was plain-looking and uneducated. He was not satisfied with Zhou Taohua and was unwilling to spend his life with a woman like her. However, his family needed someone to take care of them, so he wanted to find a woman he liked outside.
Afterwards, Zhou Taohua and Li Junzhong dissolved the 'engagement' that had no guarantee whatsoever. The so-called fiancée was just a way for the Li family to control her. As her fiancée, she had to treat the Li family as her own home and she had to make sacrifices for the Li family.
After breaking up with Li Junzhong, the Zhou family arranged blind dates for Zhou Taohua. Now, Zhou Taohua has found a suitable partner from a harmonious family. He is also the son of the village chief!
Only when she realized that someone cared about her did Zhou Taohua understand that she had been too stupid to notice the disdain in Li Junzhong's eyes. In fact, from the moment they started their blind date, Li Junzhong had never looked at her properly. It was clear from his eyes, but she just hadn't noticed!
Zhou Taohua expressed her gratitude and said that she had sent her a gift. She had sent the letter first and then the gift, so the gift should arrive soon.
Zhou Taohua also said that the mountains and fields where they live are covered with bamboo, and in the spring they pick bamboo shoots and dry them, and she will send her dried bamboo shoots to eat then.
After reading the letter, Wenxi couldn't help but smile knowingly. Although it wasn't a task issued by the system, it was good to have one less unfortunate woman in the world and to have helped someone change their fate.
As it was almost time to rest that evening, Wenxi wrote back to Zhou Taohua. Thinking that their area was covered with bamboo and had abundant resources, Wenxi told Zhou Taohua about pickling bamboo shoots and several other ways to make them. She also reminded Zhou Taohua that she could set up a small workshop in the village to make pickled bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots. In the future, they could do business under the collective name with the supply and marketing cooperative, department stores, and canteens of various units. This way, each family could receive a few extra yuan at the end of the year.
Wenxi didn't tell Captain Qian about this because it's no longer allowed to do business in an individual's name; it must be done in the name of the collective.
Therefore, Wenxi decided that when he was able to do business in his own name in the future, he would invest in building a factory in Fengshou Brigade to produce these agricultural and sideline products, so that he could have an extra source of income.
The next day, when the postman came to deliver the mail again, Wenxi handed him the letter she had written to Zhou Taohua.
After a few days of hard work, the newly arrived educated youth had already mastered the work in the fields. It was just that some of them were lazy and slow, unable to keep up with others. However, Team Leader Qian had divided them up, so that those who did less work would receive fewer work points, thus not dragging others down.
Meanwhile, Gu Huai'an received letters from the Gu family and Xu Mengying's mother. They learned that they had met in the countryside and asked Gu Huai'an to take good care of Xu Mengying and protect her, since she was a young and beautiful girl and would be easily bullied if she were alone in the countryside.
Gu Huai'an agreed, considering the previous relationship between the two families.
Even without his family's instructions and Xu Mengying's mother's request, Gu Huai'an would have essentially agreed, because he didn't explicitly refuse and was indecisive. However, he didn't realize what he would lose by not knowing how to refuse.
In Xu Mengying's eyes, it meant that both families had agreed to their relationship, and now it was just the two of them left to decide.
As long as I put in the effort, I can win over Gu Huai'an.
On the other side, Wenrou, who is Wenxi's older sister, walked into the post office. New packages from other places would arrive here first, and then be distributed to various post offices.
As soon as the staff saw Wenrou, they smiled and said, "Comrade Wenrou, here to pick up your sister's letter again?"
She nodded gently with a smile. "My family didn't have time, so I picked up the letter while I was here on business. By the way, are there any other letters from Kaiming County?"
Wenrou took the letter, glanced at it, and sure enough, it was a letter from Wenxi to her family. She smiled with satisfaction, then looked at the staff.
If Wenxi can write letters home, she can also write letters to others, so she needs to check if there are any letters sent from Kaiming County to other people. She wants to cut off all possibilities for Wenxi to contact her family.
"All the letters from Kaiming County are here," the staff member said.
Wenrou glanced at the recipients and was relieved to find that none of them were her relatives. It seemed that Wenxi wasn't so clever after all, and didn't know how to take a roundabout approach by writing to her relatives.
What Wenrou didn't know was that Wenxi deliberately didn't write it down. She didn't want to bother others. When she got home, she would deal with Wenrou and her husband directly. What about her older sister and brother-in-law? Didn't they abandon her, their younger sister, first?
Since we've given up on her, we're no longer sisters, but strangers. And since we're strangers, there's no need to be polite; we should take action when necessary.
And that old man and his family from my past life won't have an easy time either.
"Thank you! This is the only letter today, I'll take it back now." Wenrou grabbed a handful of milk candies for the staff and left with the letter written by Wenxi.
Zhu Ying has been here for some time now. In order to gain a foothold and let everyone see her abilities, she works diligently every day. Finally, she has won everyone's recognition and high praise from the leaders. She has also let everyone know that she is not someone who can be bullied by anyone.
Now that she wouldn't have to work so hard, Zhu Ying decided to get close to Jin Changqing and become her sister-in-law.
Zhu Ying went directly to the school where Jin Changqing was.
Jin Changfeng is a good older brother. In order to give his younger sister a good future, he supported Jin Changqing all the way up to high school graduation.
Even if you don't have a job after graduating from high school, you still have to go back to your hometown to earn work points.
However, Jin Changfeng's colleague took a liking to Jin Changqing. Jin Changfeng also knew this colleague well; he was a good person, and his family had no messy relationships. If Jin Changqing married him, she could accompany him to the military base and wouldn't have to deal with mother-in-law and sister-in-law relationships.
Later, due to various reasons such as job transfers, everyone gradually stopped working together, and Jin Changqing's job was also transferred along with her husband's job transfer.
"Hello, I am Jin Changqing's sister-in-law. Could you please ask her to come out for me?" Zhu Ying arrived at the school gate and directly identified herself to the gatekeeper.
