Chapter 183: Beginning of Retirement
Mu Fengfen was also left speechless by her elder sister.
Su Tang was not fat at all, even when she was pregnant her belly was just a little bulging.
During this time, she helped out in the factory and knew the hardships of running a factory.
Production, sanitation, unloading and loading... even the night shift guarding the factory has to be taken in shifts.
She had offered to guard the place by herself, but they said it was not safe for a woman alone to be here.
It is so heartless of my elder sister to say this.
"Sister, my third sister-in-law is pregnant. Of course it's better for a pregnant woman to gain weight." Mu Fengfen said while glancing at Su Tang's face.
"Mom, what do you think?" Mu Jingzhou asked.
Old Lady Mu had just calculated in her mind that the factory paid female workers 23 yuan a month. If they worked for a day, they would get 10 yuan a day.
And she can get fifteen without working, and she will get the money every month, every year, until she dies.
She could use the money to grow some vegetables and fruits with the old man and sell them, which would provide two sources of income for the family. Is there anything more cost-effective than this?
So, Old Lady Mu agreed: "Okay! Just do as the Third Brother says."
"Mom!" Mu Fengzhen panicked, "Mom, what about me?"
Su Tang asked with a smile: "Why? Big sister also needs to rely on her brothers for support?"
"I'll work," said Mu Fengzhen, "and I'll be paid according to outsiders' standards. I won't argue."
"We can't hire anyone," Su Tang said. "Our factory is already full."
Mu Fengzhen curled her lips: "Nonsense. Second sister has clearly stated it in the letter, you are still short of people..."
"Second sister!" Mu Jingzhou roared angrily.
Mu Fengfen shrank her neck: "I, I just want to let my family know that I'm safe, so they don't worry..."
"Second sister, you've thought it through. We're a family, right?" Su Tang blinked.
Although she was clearly praising someone, Mu Fengfen felt extremely guilty and said with a wry smile: "Third sister-in-law, if you want to hire someone, you might as well hire yourself..."
"Not everyone is as capable as you, Second Sister." Su Tang shook her head, "Since Second Sister caused this matter, let Second Sister handle it!"
Su Tang took Mu Jingzhou's hand and walked out of the factory gate.
There were two middle-aged women lying in the corner, who rushed in unexpectedly: "Ahem, ahem, we..."
"Are you eavesdropping? Or do you want to hear secrets? Get away from me. Don't blame me for taking action next time." Mu Jingzhou roared.
Mu Jingtai was shocked and asked Mu Fengfen: "Why is there still a secret?"
"Of course. The product formula, raw material procurement, buyer's information... are all confidential. Didn't my sister-in-law secretly learn how to make soap?" Mu Fengfen said.
This matter has already been exposed in the Mu family. Old Lady Mu nodded: "That's true..."
Our business is so good that the neighbors are jealous! If we make a wrong move, the business will be taken away by others." Mu Fengfen threatened deliberately, "Mom, since the second brother and the third brother are paying for your retirement, it's right for you to go back."
"Really? Okay, I'll go back." Old Mrs. Mu didn't really understand the difficulties of doing business, but she understood money.
Just thinking about the 180 yuan a year made her very happy.
Oh, after raising six children, big and small, it is finally the children's turn to raise her.
"Mom, what should I do?" Mu Fengzhen stomped her feet.
Although Old Lady Mu loved her daughter, she loved money more. After thinking for a while, she said, "Since the factory doesn't need any more people, you can come back with me."
"Mom! I will be beaten if I go back like this!" Mu Fengzhen was anxious.
"Who made you marry into such a bad family?" Mu Fengfen rolled her eyes.
"Second sister, doesn't your waist hurt when you talk while standing?" Mu Fengzhen raised her hand and patted her sister on the head.
She was strong and powerful. This slap made Mu Fengfen see stars and she got angry: "Big sister! Why are you hitting me?"
"You have classes to attend, but what about me?"
"Aren't you farming in the countryside?"
"Who still farms now? Since the policy was relaxed, young people have been looking for jobs to make money. I don't care. I want to stay here and work."
Mu Fengzhen started to act like a spoiled brat and ran to the factory gate to move the gifts.
A shrewd middle-aged man called out to her, "Ms. Mu, why don't you come to work in my factory?"
"Who are you?" Mu Fengzhen asked.
"I'm Mr. Qin from next door. We produce soap. We're about to ship the goods and we're in need of manpower. Brother Mu, we don't need any help here, so come to my house and help. I'll pay you thirty yuan a month."
Thirty yuan! That's almost as much as the salary of a government employee!
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao were admitted to the art troupe, but only earned 30 yuan a month.
Mu Fengzhen immediately smiled and said, "Okay!"
"Big sister!" Mu Fengfen hurriedly stopped her, "Qin Aihua is our business rival..."
"So what? You won't keep me here, and you won't let me go to work somewhere else? Humph! Get out of here!"
Mu Fengzhen shook off Mu Fengfen, put on her luggage and happily followed Qin Aihua.
"Sister! You are confused!"
"Forget it, leave her alone."
Old Mrs. Mu thought it was a good thing for her eldest daughter to have a job so that she wouldn't be beaten and scolded by her in-laws when she returned to the village.
Mu Fengfen said angrily: "Mom, you can't spoil her like this! That Qin guy must have bad intentions!"
"Just be careful and don't tell your eldest sister the secrets." Old Lady Mu said, "Fengfen, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
"Okay, I'll get it for you." Mu Fengfen went to cook.
When Mrs. Mu first came to the factory, she walked around with her hands behind her back. When she saw the large quantities of goods, she was very proud.
My sons are promising!
No one expected that Mu Fengzhen's staying would bring huge hidden dangers.
…
Mu Jingyun and Yu Miaomiao walked around the street and found a noodle shop to eat two bowls of vegetarian noodles.
After sending Yu Miaomiao home, he prepared to return to the factory.
Unexpectedly, Mu Jingzhou and Su Tang had already returned. He asked in surprise: "Where is Mom?"
"Second brother, let's talk about giving mom retirement money. Fifteen yuan a month, paid by the factory. Mom agreed, and she will go back tomorrow." Mu Jingzhou said.
"Fifteen dollars a month... OK! Although the money is hard to earn, it's better than them making trouble all the time." Mu Jingyun agreed.
"What about my elder sister?" Yu Miaomiao asked.
Su Tang shrugged: "I don't know. We can't give her fifteen dollars a month, right?"
"That can't be done." Yu Miaomiao snorted, "I hate her the most."
Su Tang came up and whispered, "Me too..."
Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou looked at each other: Cricket, please stay away from others!
"They are all staying at the factory tonight, so the three of us will have some company. Let's not go back." Mu Jingyun said, "Get some tofu and grill it at home."
"Great! It's been a long time since the four of us have eaten together."
Mu Jingzhou went to buy tofu.
Su Tang peeled potatoes while Yu Miaomiao prepared the dipping sauce, preparing for a family barbecue.
