Volume 1, Chapter 6: Finding someone to settle accounts, the original owner's best friend
"Hey~ Sheng family girl, you don't want to go to the countryside, do you?"
Just as Sheng Wanyan had figured out the relationship, she heard a harsh voice from a middle-aged woman.
"Labor is the most glorious thing now. You are not thinking of escaping, are you?"
The person who was speaking was Li's mother. The Li family and the Sheng family were not on good terms, and it all started from the time when they were first allocated this house.
The Li family has many children, but there is only one employee, Li's father, and the house allocated to them is only 30 square meters.
A family of five or six people squeezed into a house of only 30 square meters, and when the grandson got married, there would be even more people.
So Li's mother went to Sheng's mother and cried poor, saying that she had many children and wanted the Sheng family's 50-square-meter house.
Naturally, Sheng's mother disagreed. Who would complain about a big house these days?
Moreover, Sheng's father's position is higher than Li's father's, so it is reasonable for him to be allocated a larger share.
There's no reason why I should give in to you just because your family is poor?
After Sheng's mother was unwilling, the Li family began to satirize the Sheng family everywhere, both openly and covertly.
Sheng Wanyan glanced at her. She was not the original owner who could be bullied at will.
She didn't care how the original owner had endured before, she just wouldn't stand for it.
"Aunt Li, your granddaughter is only 8 years old, and she does the laundry and cooking at home."
"You don't want to be the old lady of the former landowner, do you?"
When Li's mother heard her words, she wanted to step forward and shut her mouth. If she put this accusation on her, she would be arrested and educated.
Why is this little girl so good at talking today?
Usually he either keeps his head down and dares not speak, or his eyes are red with anxiety.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you stinky girl?"
"I didn't!"
Sheng Wanyan felt amused when she saw how nervous she was.
In this day and age, any rumor can ruin a person.
If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll really think she's easy to control.
"Li's family, your 8-year-old granddaughter is washing clothes and cooking at home at such a young age. Who doesn't know that?"
"That's right, everyone has seen it."
When Mother Li heard that everyone was speaking in favor of Sheng Wanyan, she knew that she would not gain anything today.
"Do you dare to say that your family is not like this?"
Everyone looked a little guilty when they heard her words. Which girl in this era doesn't work?
And the girl just needs to be fed and alive.
Sheng Wanyan didn't want to get involved in these disputes and let them argue on their own.
Anyway, the fighting power of these aunts is not low, so it is not certain who will win or lose.
It was the first time that Sheng Wanyan saw the streets of this era, and they were all gray.
There are also quotes written on the wall such as "Down with capitalism and contribute to the country."
The atmosphere is particularly depressing, and people walking on the street have one or two patches on their clothes.
The faces of the women on the street all look a little sallow. Women in this era are miserable.
There were also some very thin and hungry old people lying in the alley.
In this age of food shortage, these are the norm.
Sheng Wanyan didn't allow herself to continue reading. She absolutely could not have a saintly heart.
She grew up in an environment of intrigue and deception, and there were too many people who wanted to benefit from her.
Sheng Wanyan continued walking forward. There were more red brick houses in the city. The supply and marketing cooperative and the state-owned restaurant were the best buildings here.
Sheng Wanyan found out the direction of the factory and headed towards it.
She visited all the factories in Chengdu, but didn't see any recruitment notices.
Sheng Wanyan found a deserted place to enter the space to eat lunch, and in the afternoon she went to check out the surrounding schools.
Sheng Wanyan walked around all day but didn't find a job, not even a shadow of one.
Sheng Wanyan knew that blindly searching like this was not a solution, and the most important thing for her was to infiltrate the group of middle-aged women in the factory.
Sheng Wanyan plans to take some supplies to the factory gate tomorrow to hang out and sell some supplies and get some information.
Sheng Wanyan went to the supply and marketing cooperative and inquired about the prices of goods at that time.
She went out and took out the pastry ticket that was about to expire. If she didn't use it, it would expire.
I can just buy some and bring them back to give to Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng at home to sweeten their mouths.
"What would you like to order?"
The salesperson was knitting a sweater. She looked up at her and said this.
“How much are the cakes?”
"70 cents per pound, one cake ticket or grain ticket."
When Sheng Wanyan heard the price, she thought it was a bargain. The food nowadays is all made with real ingredients.
Seven cents could not even buy a piece of candy in later times, so Sheng Wanyan took out the money and the ticket and bought a pound of osmanthus cake.
The salesperson wrapped it up in paper. Now everything is very environmentally friendly.
As soon as Sheng Wanyan came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw Sheng Xiuying walking towards her wearing a new sweater in the middle of winter.
I had originally planned to settle the score with her in a few days, but I didn't expect to meet her today.
It's a good opportunity to get the things back.
"Yan'er, are you here to buy some cakes?"
Sheng Xiuying looked at the pastry in her hand and consciously reached out and handed it to her.
"I didn't have any cakes during the Chinese New Year. Give me one."
In the past, when Sheng Wanyan heard Sheng Xiuying say these words, she would soften her heart and give half to her.
She came to the city today just to ask Sheng Wanyan for some food. She hadn't had any good food for several days.
Sheng Wanyan looked at the sweater on her body and the new hairband on her head, both of which were lent to her by the original owner.
"Yan'er, what are you standing there for?"
"Give it to me now."
What's wrong with Sheng Wanyan today? Usually she would take the initiative to give it to me.
"If you want to eat, you won't buy it yourself."
"What did you say?"
Sheng Xiuying couldn't believe her ears, and even more so couldn't believe that Sheng Wanyan would say such a thing.
I thought about it and realized I hadn't done anything to make her angry. Could it be that she was unhappy because I took her new socks last time?
"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?"
"We are good sisters. We always eat good things together."
Sheng Wanyan wanted to laugh when she heard this. Should we just eat the original owner's things together and not eat each other, okay?
After eating, she even has to pack some to take home. Who gives her the face to do that?
"You came at the right time today. Please return the hair band and sweater you took from me before."
"And the socks and the food you've been eating all this time are all mine. I'll give you 10 bucks."
Sheng Xiuying was now completely nervous. What happened to Sheng Wanyan today?
Why did you suddenly ask her to get these things back?
"Yan'er, did you hear what others said?"
Sheng Xiuying walked forward and tried to hold her hand, but Sheng Wanyan dodged and reached out to pull the hairband off her head.
"You used me like that before, but now I'm awake!"
"Eat my food and use my things."
"I could have stayed in school and been a teacher, but you kept whispering those words in my ear every day."
"Now I have to go to the countryside. It's a good thing I didn't ask you to settle the score."
Sheng Xiuying felt a little panicked when she heard her words, because Sheng Wanyan had always listened to her before.
