Deep down, Niu Cuihua didn't want Old Lady Li to accompany her, but she really didn't know where the textile factory was. What if she got lost because she couldn't find the place? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
Therefore, looking at Mrs. Li who was looking forward to her, she spoke directly.
"That's fine. To be honest, I really don't know the way. I'm sorry to bother you!"
At this point, she said with an embarrassed look on her face, "Isn't it dinner time now? If you accompany me like this, will it delay your meal?"
Old Mrs. Li was so happy that Niu Cuihua finally talked to her. She didn't care at all whether it would delay her meal.
So she spoke directly.
"What's the big deal? I'm not hungry anyway. Besides, aren't we neighbors? Isn't it only natural for me to help you?"
As she spoke, Old Lady Li took Niu Cuihua's arm affectionately and walked forward.
Niu Cuihua didn't expect this person to be so enthusiastic. Therefore, although she was annoyed with the old lady, she still thanked her from the bottom of her heart.
It seemed that she felt that it was really boring for the two of them to walk away in such a dull manner, so Mrs. Li spoke again.
"Old sister, haven't you always lived in the countryside? But why does the child still have friends in the city?"
Hearing her say this, Niu Cuihua's face turned slightly cold and she looked at her in surprise. What did this old lady mean?
What? Do you think country people shouldn’t have friends in the city?
When Mrs. Li saw Niu Cuihua's expression change, she was confused and didn't know why Niu Cuihua was angry for no reason.
Fortunately, she thought quickly enough and realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Therefore, she quickly spoke up to make amends for herself.
"That's not what I meant, sister. I'm just a little worried. Don't you know there are a lot of bad kids these days who specialize in deceiving little girls, especially those who are innocent and pretty. I'm really worried that she's been deceived!"
Niu Cuihua shook her head. "Is that so? Then your worries are unnecessary. Our little girl has gone to find a job at the textile factory. The two children have known each other for many years. Everyone in our family knows about this!"
Mrs. Li nodded. "Is that so? That's good, that's good. As long as you know each other, that's fine. I was worried it might be a scam!"
Then, she suddenly seemed to come to her senses and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, a textile factory! That's a great place!"
Niu Cuihua raised her eyebrows and looked at her, not knowing what she wanted to say!
Then she saw that Mrs. Li's wrinkled face suddenly broke into a smile.
"You don't know because you're not in the county, but that textile factory is really a great place. They usually have a lot of defective cloth. But those things are usually only accessible to their insiders. For outsiders like us, if you want something, you'd better go to the department store to buy fabric!"
Niu Cuihua looked indifferent. I don’t know what this old woman was so happy about. It wasn’t like their child worked in the textile factory. Was there any need for her to be so excited?
So, she said directly, "If there is, then there is. Why are you so happy? What's the matter? You seem to know so much. Is there anyone in your family who works in a textile factory?"
Listening to Niu Cuihua's words, Old Mrs. Li looked embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, sister, look at what you said. I do want to work there, but my child is still young. How can we get such a good job?"
Hearing her say this, Niu Cuihua nodded and ignored her.
Old Mrs. Li didn't know how Niu Cuihua could still sit still after hearing what she said. She had been trying to find ways to sell cloth for the family. Seeing her two grandsons growing up day by day, their clothes would be worn out after two or three months, and the family really couldn't afford to support them.
Looking at Niu Cuihua, Mrs. Li seemed to have made some decision, and then she asked.
"Old sister, Xiaoxi's friend is able to work in a textile factory. She's quite capable. You don't know how difficult it is to get into a textile factory!"
Niu Cuihua didn't care. She didn't understand why she was talking to her about this. Why didn't she understand something? However, since she was asked, she had to speak frankly.
"It's not that difficult. It was arranged by their family. The child can do it. Anyway, I saw that he was doing well at the textile factory!"
"They've known each other for years. I saw the two kids playing well together. The kid is pitiful. His mom is gone, and he only has a dad. But he's like a stepfather, not caring about the kid at all!"
Old Mrs. Li couldn't help sighing, "That's really pitiful!"
Niu Cuihua nodded, "That's right. Even though that girl has had a good life these years, she still doesn't have an elder who cares about her. How pitiful!"
"Look, there's nothing wrong here, why am I telling you all this? If Xiaoxi knew about this, she'd probably scold me for talking nonsense outside!"
Hearing Niu Cuihua say this, Mrs. Li quickly shook her head, "No, no, sister, how can this be nonsense? Besides, I won't spread it randomly. I don't know that child. I don't even know who you are talking about. You don't have to take it to heart!"
Niu Cuihua nodded, "That's true!"
Seeing that Niu Cuihua's expression relaxed a little, Mrs. Li continued to speak.
"Sister, I have something to trouble you with!"
Niu Cuihua looked at her with a puzzled look on her face. "What is it? What do you want to trouble me with? How can an old country lady like me help you?"
The hidden meaning is that she doesn't want to help. No matter what the old lady wants to do, she won't help!
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li didn't seem to understand what she meant. She patted her arm and spoke to her in a comforting tone.
"Old sister, you are so modest. What do you mean by 'I can't help'? You can do it!"
Hearing her words, Niu Cuihua frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look, "Really?"
While she was saying this, she was thinking in her heart, how could this person be so tactless? She had just rejected her, didn't she understand?
Old Mrs. Li didn't take it seriously and didn't notice at all that Niu Cuihua's expression had changed.
"Old sister, can you please ask that kid to get us some defective cloth? I won't ask for it for free, I'll pay for it. It's just right, and it can also let that kid make some extra money. What do you think?"
Niu Cuihua frowned slightly and said helplessly, "I'm afraid this won't work. Xiaoxi never mentioned this when she got home. Now you're asking me out of the blue to get her the defective cloth. How can I even ask for it?"
"I'm so sorry, I really can't help you!"
