Chapter 176
"You came here specially to see me." Ye Fuyue said with a smile, but her tone was quite meaningful.
"I...um..." Zhu Qiaoting nodded guiltily, then added, "I wanted to talk to my aunt..."
The rest is self-explanatory.
Chen Guifeng didn't even want to see her, let alone pay attention to her.
"What do you want to say to her?" Ye Fuyue asked.
Zhu Qiaoting sat down on the chair in front of the bed, twisting her fingers and saying, "Talk about my marriage with Shen Kang..."
"Do you think she wants to talk to you about this?" Ye Fuyue asked.
Zhu Qiaoting lowered her eyes. She knew Chen Guifeng didn't want to discuss this with her, but...
"But..." Zhu Qiaoting hesitated again and again, and finally said, "If I don't talk to her about this, I won't have a chance. I will have to go back to the countryside soon."
Ye Fuyue didn't say anything.
Shen Yao told her what he and Shen Kang had talked about last night after returning to the house.
She felt that Shen Yao had made the stakes clear, and the rest depended on Shen Kang's own decision. As long as Shen Kang figured it out on his own, there would be no need for Zhu Qiaoting to go to Chen Guifeng and talk to her.
"Her attitude is already very clear. I don't think she will change her attitude even if you talk to her." Ye Fuyue still said.
"But I..."
Zhu Qiaoting wanted to say something, but Ye Fuyue interrupted her directly.
Her eyes fell on Zhu Qiaoting's new clothes and shoes: "This is the first time I see you wearing these clothes and shoes. They look very nice."
Hearing Ye Fuyue's praise, Zhu Qiaoting raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "This is what Chen Kang took me to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday."
"He has good taste." Ye Fuyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled and praised again.
Zhu Qiaoting's attention was diverted a little, and her expression became less serious. She touched her new clothes and was very happy.
Then she thought of the time when Chen Kang bought her new clothes yesterday and she wanted him to buy himself one too, but Chen Kang said he already had clothes to wear and refused to buy anything and took her away from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Just now, she heard what Chen Guifeng and Aunt Xu said, and combined with what happened in the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday, Zhu Qiaoting suddenly wondered if Chen Kang didn't have much money.
She could actually guess that Chen Kang had no money. After all, she and Chen Kang were from the same educated youth brigade, and they had to work every day to earn points to exchange for food, so where would they get the money from?
Even if Chen Kang didn't have any money, Zhu Qiaoting could tell from the fact that he occasionally received packages from home that he was from a relatively well-off family. Unlike her, since she had gone to the countryside, her family hadn't even sent her a letter, let alone a package.
She had also thought about this last night while lying on her bed in the guesthouse.
Her household registration was in the countryside, so if she married Shen Kang, she would have to rely on him for support. Shen Kang certainly wouldn't mind, but the key was that Shen Kang himself didn't have much money, and his salary wasn't high to begin with. If he lived in the Shen family, he would definitely have to rely on Chen Guifeng and Shen Yao to help out. If they didn't live in the Shen family, with Shen Kang's salary and coupons, they would definitely have a hard time living.
Although she felt that it was her biological mother Chen Guifeng and her biological brother Shen Yao's responsibility to help Chen Kang, after all, if it wasn't Chen Kang who went to the countryside, it would have been Chen Yao who went there.
However, judging by Chen Guifeng's attitude, she didn't want to help Shen Kang with Shen Yao. Moreover, if she continued to receive their favors, she would feel inferior to everyone else.
If she could get a job in the city and eat commercial grain, her household registration could be transferred to the city. She wouldn't have to look at Chen Guifeng's opinion, and Chen Guifeng would have no reason to object to her and Shen Kang marrying.
This morning, she took a walk around the city to see if she could find a job.
Sure enough, we returned empty-handed.
Not to mention recruiting workers, there is not even any temporary workers.
She walked all the way to the slum, feeling tired and discouraged, and then she thought about talking to Chen Guifeng again, just in case Chen Guifeng would agree to her marriage with Shen Kang.
But now, Zhu Qiaoting has a new idea.
"Fuyue, I heard from Chen Kang that you were drawing furniture designs for a furniture factory. Your drawings are very beautiful, and the furniture designed according to your drawings sells very well. So you must have a good relationship with the boss of the furniture factory, right? Can you introduce me to the furniture factory?"
Ye Fuyue looked at her calmly: "Can you make furniture?"
"I can't," Zhu Qiaoting said. "You don't have to know how to make furniture to work in a furniture factory. We definitely need some logistics staff and publicity staff. I only graduated from junior high school, so I can definitely do publicity work."
"The furniture factory has a new leader. I don't get along well with the new leader, so they don't let me design furniture anymore." Ye Fuyue said.
Zhu Qiaoting was very disappointed, but also a little skeptical: “I haven’t heard Shen Kang mention this.”
"I'm in confinement and haven't had a chance to talk to you, let alone mention this matter specifically." Ye Fuyue said lightly.
Zhu Qiaoting nodded and said, "Can you find someone else from the furniture factory to introduce me?"
"No one I know has this ability. Besides, the furniture factory isn't hiring right now. They can't just parachute you in for no reason."
Zhu Qiaoting was disappointed again. She said, "What about Factory 1? Chen Yao is the head of the security department. He should be able to have a say in the matter."
Ye Fuyue smiled, but her smile was ambiguous.
"Even for my eldest brother to get a job in the factory, he had to wait for my mother to give him the job. If Shen Yao really had this ability, would my eldest brother have to stay in the countryside for so many years?"
Zhu Qiaoting was deeply troubled. If the furniture factory failed, and if the first factory failed, then she would have no way out.
"Fu Yue, talk to Shen Yao. What if Shen Yao can find a way to get me a job in a factory? Even a temporary worker would be fine!" Zhu Qiaoting pleaded desperately.
Ye Fuyue looked at her quietly: "Zhu Zhiqing, you are really embarrassing me. You know how hard it is to find a job in the city these days. Don't treat my brother as your only lifeline."
Zhu Qiaoting was stunned. She looked at Ye Fuyue in confusion, surprise, and panic: "You...what do you mean?"
Ye Fuyue's eyes were calm, without any evasion. "Do you need me to make it clearer? No one can assign you a job."
Zhu Qiaoting opened her mouth, wanting to say that this was not what she was asking, but she felt so guilty that she couldn't speak.
In the end, she said nothing and went out silently.
Knowing that Chen Guifeng did not welcome her, Zhu Qiaoting did not eat here, nor did she wait for Chen Kang to come back. She even left without saying hello to Chen Guifeng.
Chen Guifeng heard the sound of the courtyard door closing, came out of the kitchen and took a look, only then did she realize that Zhu Qiaoting had left.
