Chapter 6 Business Opportunities in the Pickle Jar



The man in the car looked up inadvertently and met Wu Xiuying's gaze. He felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

Soon, Director Xu hurried over, stood at the door of the car, and greeted respectfully, "Hello, Chief Shen."

"Um."

The man withdrew his gaze and responded lightly. The driver then got out of the car, opened the door, and let Director Xu get in.

As things have developed to this point, even if Director Xu did not directly say who was targeting her, she understood that it was most likely because of the matter of her children's in-laws, and it must be the Yang family who was behind it!

No wonder Yang Jianxing said before that he wanted Yuzhen to beg to marry him. It turns out he was waiting here.

Having lived a new life, Wu Xiuying deeply remembered what happened in her previous life, so she would definitely not be lenient in this matter.

Even if she lost her job in the textile factory, there were other ways to survive. Now was a time of booming economy, and she wouldn't have to worry about having no food to eat as long as she didn't sell her daughter.

When she returned home, Wu Xiuying saw Li Yuzhen cooking, and she felt relieved.

Her daughter was truly sensible. Not only had she helped her with housework since she was young, she had also taken care of her three brothers. Later, even when she lay in bed unable to move, it was Yuzhen who was busy running around for her. Before she died, she was even more...

Thinking of everything that happened in her previous life, Wu Xiuying looked at Li Yuzhen with more tenderness in her eyes.

She really couldn't let go in her previous life. In fact, what's the difference between men and women?

How could she ignore her daughter for her son? In the end, she still had to rely on her daughter to see her off.

"Mom, why are you back so early? It's not time to get off work yet. The meal is not ready yet. Please wait a moment."

Li Yuzhen also saw Wu Xiuying at this time and walked over quickly.

"Nothing. I went to work today and Director Xu said there were going to be layoffs. I'm one of them. I won't have to go to work anymore."

Wu Xiuying was not angry at all, but just told the matter calmly.

As a result, before Li Yuzhen could say anything, Li Mohai rushed out of the house in a hurry.

"Mom, what are you talking about? You got laid off?"

"How could you be laid off? What will happen to your whole family?"

From the time he was born until now, Li Mohai has been staying at home, eating, drinking, having fun, and doing nothing. He has never worked a day.

Is there any reason to be a parasite?

Wu Xiuying simply doesn't tolerate bad habits.

"What to do? Who is old? Who is young?"

"Look at you, you're such a loser. I fed you the best food and made you grow up so well, just for you to be a parasite at home and live off me?"

"From tomorrow on, if you don't work, you won't eat anything. He who doesn't work, shall not eat!"

Wu Xiuying was not polite at all. She was a straightforward and aggressive person. She had only given some face to her sons before because of their blood relationship. But since these unfortunate guys were so shameless, Wu Xiuying would not treat them well anymore.

Li Mohai has been pampered since he was a child. He is the youngest child in the family and his mother's most beloved child. He never thought that one day he would be scolded?

Having never been scolded since childhood, he was completely dumbfounded. It took him a while to realize what Wu Xiuying had said.

"Mom, factories are laying off employees everywhere. Even a skilled technician like you is laid off. What can I do?"

"Besides, what's been wrong with you these past few days? Have you lost your mind? Why do you curse at people all the time?"

Li Mohai couldn't help but mutter something in the end.

This brat!

When Wu Xiuying heard this, she became even more furious. Just as she was about to vent her anger, her neighbor knocked on the door and walked in.

"Xiuying, are you home?"

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Wu Xiuying immediately changed her expression and went over to greet him with a smile.

The sister-in-law next door smiled embarrassedly, then stuffed the vegetables in her hand to Wu Xiuying.

"It's my little grandson. The pickles you made last time were so delicious that he's been thinking about them. He was even clamoring for some just now. Can you give me some more?"

Resources are no longer as scarce as they were in the early years, and people's lives are generally better, so a little pickles are nothing.

"Yuzhen, go get some pickles for your Aunt Wang."

"Sister-in-law, you too, why are you so polite? It's just some pickles. If you want to eat, just come and get it. We live next door to each other, so don't be so distant."

Wu Xiuying spoke to Mrs. Wang with a smile, but Mrs. Wang felt as if she had seen a ghost.

Everyone on this street knows that Wu Xiuying is a fierce and sharp-tongued person, and is the most difficult person to get along with.

Why are everything he says and does so thoughtfully and perfectly today? Mrs. Wang always feels like she is dreaming.

After seeing off Mrs. Wang, Wu Xiuying began to plan what to do next.

There is not much food left at home now, and the second and third children are waiting anxiously, so she definitely cannot just sit back and enjoy all the food.

Thinking that her pickle-making skills were pretty good, Wu Xiuying thought she could make a name for herself and turn her skills into cash.

Wu Xiuying sighed, and the moment she looked up she saw the photo hanging on the wall.

Her husband died early, and it was really difficult for her to raise a house full of children by herself. In the past, Wu Xiuying would always stand in front of her husband's portrait and cry about her difficulties, but now...

Wu Xiuying walked forward and after watching for a while, she really began to understand something.

My husband died in the line of duty, so when he died, he was given a pension of 3,000 yuan and a second-class merit medal.

In her previous life, Wu Xiuying always felt that the three thousand yuan was her husband's life, and she could not touch it no matter how hard or difficult it was. As long as the money was there, her husband was still there, and they still had a complete family.

But now...

Without thinking, Wu Xiuying took the chair, stepped on it and took down her husband's portrait. Then she opened the photo frame and took out the somewhat old passbook from the back.

In her previous life, no matter how hard or tired she was, even at the last second in the hospital, she never touched the three thousand yuan. Now, Wu Xiuying has made up her mind that she will use this three thousand yuan to change her fate.

The dead can never come back, so the living should live well. Fortunately, those wolf cubs didn’t know that their family had this money, otherwise they would not have survived until now.

"Mother!"

The voice of the second brother Li Zicheng came from the yard. Wu Xiuying quickly restored the photo to its original state, stuffed the money into her pocket, and pretended to be heartbroken.

"Mom! Why don't you answer me when I'm talking to you?"

Li Zicheng walked in and looked at his mother with some dissatisfaction. He found that she was standing in front of her father's portrait in a daze, and felt a little regretful.

"Mom, are you laid off?"

"I've already told you not to offend the Yang family, but you just wouldn't listen to me. Now you've lost your job because of a little girl. How are we going to live our lives from now on?"
