Chapter 44
Although Ye Fuyue didn't like what Cui Yongfang said, Cui Yongfang was right in one thing: she had no job and couldn't make money.
Thinking of this, Ye Fuyue asked Wu Qiaoer: "Is your factory hiring?"
"No. Our factory is fully staffed, and we probably won't be hiring for a long time."
Ye Fuyue sighed.
In her previous life, she had to worry about finding a job. In the 1970s, she still had to worry about finding a job.
Wu Qiaoer heard her sigh and asked, "What's wrong? You want to work? Doesn't Chen Yao give you money?"
"He gives it to me. But it's better to have a job and earn money on my own."
"You just don't know how to appreciate what you have. If I hadn't been unemployed, I would have to go to the countryside. I don't want to work at all. I envy you to death. You still think it's good to have a job." Wu Qiaoer said.
Ye Fuyue ate her ice cream and thought, "That's right. Is it a job she needs? It's money she needs! If she had money, who would be willing to go to work and suffer every day for such a small salary?"
But Ye Fuyue still understood the hidden meaning in Wu Qiaoer's words. She asked, "Are you envious that I don't have to work? Or are you envious that I have a man to support me?"
"Is there any difference between the two?" Wu Qiaoer said, "Actually, I've been feeling really upset lately. My mom arranged a blind date for me, hoping I'd get married soon."
Ye Fuyue could understand Wu Qiaoer's parents. In this era, people usually got married early.
Wu Qiaoer had a job and it was stable. The only important thing left was to get married and have children. This was no different from parents in later generations who would urge their children to go on blind dates and get married as soon as they graduated.
"There's nothing wrong with getting married early. Look, I got married quite early." Ye Fuyue said nonchalantly.
Wu Qiaoer glanced at her and said, "But I'm not as lucky as you! Do you know what kind of people I've been on blind dates with? They're either ugly, or have a good self-image, or they just want me to serve their whole family like a young wife in ancient times. I won't marry someone like that!"
Ye Fuyue nodded: "It is indeed unacceptable to marry such a person."
"You are so lucky to meet such a good man like Chen Yao, who loves and respects you so much." Wu Qiaoer said enviously.
Ye Fuyue smiled: "It's all thanks to you that I was able to meet such a good man like Shen Yao. If you hadn't helped me arrange a blind date and saved me from going to the countryside, I wouldn't have met Shen Yao. Things like marriage can't be rushed, it depends on fate. Look, you brought me and Shen Yao together, you have accumulated such great merits, I am sure you will also have a good marriage."
Wu Qiaoer was persuaded by Ye Fuyue.
That's right! She also played a role in Ye Fuyue and Shen Yao's marriage. She helped tie the knot for others, so her own knot would definitely not be bad either.
Wu Qiaoer's mood improved a lot.
The two chatted for a while and strolled on the street.
Ye Fuyue didn't need anything and didn't need to buy anything. Wu Qiaoer, on the other hand, gave most of her monthly salary to her mother, leaving her with no money to splurge on. So, the two of them just shopped around and went home without buying anything.
As Ye Fuyue was walking towards the slum, an old woman with white hair staggered towards her.
When the two were about to pass each other, the old woman cried out "Ouch" and fell towards Ye Fuyue.
Ye Fuyue quickly took a step back, putting some distance between herself and the old woman. The old woman also managed to steady herself in time, preventing herself from actually falling to the ground.
It's not that Ye Fuyue is cold-blooded, but Ye Fuyue feels that the old woman was walking well before, and was about to pass her, but suddenly fell down. It really looks like she is trying to scam people - although there was no such thing as scamming people in that era.
Ye Fuyue was afraid that she had misjudged a good person, so she asked with some concern, "Auntie, are you okay?"
The old woman stood up tremblingly: "It's okay."
Then she said, "Comrade, I'm lost. I'm from the countryside and came to the city to visit my relatives. But I've been looking for a long time and can't find it. Can you take me there?"
The old woman looked pitiful and looked at Ye Fuyue pleadingly.
Ye Fuyue already had some doubts about her.
It seems that this lady is not trying to scam people, but...
Ye Fuyue pointed deliberately at the passers-by around her and said, "There are so many people on the street, and so many gay men, why are you only looking for me?"
"You look kind," the old woman said pitifully, "I've already approached several people, but no one paid any attention to me. I really had no other choice, so I came to you, little girl. Little girl, please be kind and help me! My relatives are all good people. If you send me to their house, they will definitely thank you."
People of this generation are all very enthusiastic. Ye Fuyue didn't believe that if this old woman had really approached several people, they would all ignore her.
Moreover, looking at the old woman's plain and patched clothes, Ye Fuyue didn't believe her relatives were that rich. Even if her relatives really wanted to thank her, they couldn't give her anything particularly good.
Therefore, Ye Fuyue became more and more certain that the old woman in front of her was probably a human trafficker who specifically targeted kind-looking girls like her.
I wonder if there were any other little girls who had been taken advantage of by the old woman before her.
Moreover, the old woman is definitely not alone, she must have accomplices.
If she could bust this whole gang of human traffickers, wouldn't she have made another contribution? Would she even get a reward?
Ye Fuyue's eyes lit up at the thought of a bonus.
Although it is very risky, she is full of fighting skills and is not afraid!
"Okay, I'll take you there. Where are your relatives?" Ye Fuyue's attitude became enthusiastic.
When the old woman saw that Ye Fuyue agreed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been wandering the streets for so long, and Ye Fuyue was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen. If she were to sell her looks, she would definitely fetch a good price.
Originally, Ye Fuyue had not helped her before, and she thought that this girl was too cold-hearted and was afraid that she would be difficult to deceive.
Perhaps it was because she heard her say that she was grateful that the little girl changed her tone.
The old woman smiled and said, "It's in Si Tiao Alley. Do you know where it is?"
Ye Fuyue actually knew all four alleys. They weren't very far from here, but they were definitely quite far off the beaten path.
"I know, I'll take you there." Ye Fuyue said.
"Oh, okay." The old woman's face was full of joy.
The closer they got to the four alleys, the fewer people there were on the road.
When they finally reached the four alleys, there were even fewer people on the road, with only one person passing by every few minutes.
