He Guixiang just wanted her daughter to be more vigilant and keep her son-in-law. As an old lady from the countryside, her ideas were still very traditional. She wanted to find another son-in-law because Pei Guoan had gotten into trouble and she didn't want her daughter to be a widow. Now Pei Guoan is still alive and well. If her daughter found another son-in-law outside, what would happen? Wouldn't that be cheating on her husband?
Even though He Guixiang was a strong old lady, she would not dare to let a woman do this.
"Oh, you silly girl, what are you talking about? Don't dare to really do such a thing. Your parents and I will be drowned in the spit of the villagers."
He Guixiang felt that her daughter would not be so outrageous, but when she thought of the outrageous things her daughter had done in the past, she became unsure and hurriedly gave her a few instructions.
Li Miaomiao saw that He Guixiang was frightened by her jokes and burst out laughing: "Don't worry, Mom, as long as Pei Guoan treats me well, I won't cheat on him. I'm just teasing you."
"Is this a joke?"
"No, no, I just wanted to cheer you up because I saw you were worried! Your daughter knows what she's doing and will never let herself down. Besides, I'm still a technician at our village soap workshop, so my life will only get better and better."
“You!”
"Mom, I brought you a lot of things when I came back from the provincial capital this time. I also bought fabrics and shoes for you and Dad. Let's go and try them on to see if they fit you."
When He Guixiang heard that her daughter had bought something for her again, she kept muttering about the waste, but she still grinned and went out with Li Miaomiao to see.
"Xiao Fan, when did you come here?"
Li Miaomiao and He Guixiang came out of the room and saw Pei Yifan standing at the door
Pei Yifan thought to himself, "Mom, you said you wanted to find me another father." But after thinking for a moment, he said, "I just came over. Grandpa wants to find grandma, so I came to pass on the message."
He Guixiang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but Li Miaomiao didn't care. After being together for so long, she knew that her son was a black sesame dumpling. Her son also knew her character very well, so he probably wouldn't be surprised to hear this.
"Okay, I'll go first. Your grandpa must have something to do."
Pei Yifan watched He Guixiang leave in a hurry, then said to Li Miaomiao: "Mom, it's okay. If Dad really dares to do something to let you down, I will support you, but I don't want to call anyone else Dad."
Li Miaomiao was embarrassed and touched Pei Yifan's head: "You kid, your grandma and I were just joking, and you took it seriously."
Li Miaomiao was sitting in the main hall with Pei Yifan, and she felt a little embarrassed when she met Pei Guoan's gaze. After all, her son had heard what she had just said, and she always felt a little uncomfortable facing her son's father. However, she had a strong mind, so the awkwardness only lasted for a few seconds.
"Where are my parents? What are they doing?"
Li Miaomiao was only a few minutes late, and when she came over, she didn't see Li Degui and He Guixiang.
"I heard that the captain's family had something going on and asked my parents to help, but I think you're probably involved."
Li Miaomiao was a little confused at first, but when she met Pei Guoan's penetrating gaze, she immediately reacted.
"It's possible. Whether it is or not, we will know soon."
Pei Yifan watched his mother and father talking without feeling guilty at all. He thought to himself that his mother must have been joking just now, otherwise she wouldn't be so relaxed.
Pei Guoan's guess was correct. Sure enough, Li Degui and He Guixiang came back not long after. Both of them had a look of embarrassment on their faces. The village captain also came back with them.
"Miaomiao is becoming more and more promising now."
"Uncle, you are too kind."
After a few pleasantries, the village chief got down to business.
"Miaomiao, you're from the village too. Now that life is better, could you offer some advice to our village? If life improves for the village, your family will also benefit, right? Your parents have treated you like a treasure since you were little, treating you more like their own sons. Don't you want them to live a good life too?"
Li Degui and He Guixiang's faces turned ugly when they heard the captain's words.
"Look at what you said. We love our daughter out of our own pleasure and don't expect anything in return. Our life is pretty good now."
Li Degui and He Guixiang were only concerned about their daughter, so how could they be willing to put her in a difficult position? Besides, it was not easy to come up with ideas. The team leader was clearly jealous of the soap workshop in Fanglin Village and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
"Degui, you are wrong. Now that your life is better, don't forget to help the big guys in the village. They all watched Miaomiao grow up."
"Uncle, you're right. If I had the ability, I would naturally want to help everyone. But it's easy to say, but it's not that simple."
Seeing that Li Degui and He Guixiang were about to refute and argue with the captain, Li Miaomiao spoke quickly. She didn't want them to offend anyone for no reason. After all, they were able to bring the captain to their home because they couldn't refuse him out of courtesy. If they offended the captain, they would always have trouble in the future.
"Of course I know this, but I don't have such big ambitions. I just thought that the soap workshop in your village is so prosperous, so they must be hiring. If they are hiring, can you consider our village first?"
Team leader Wang Hai was afraid of misunderstanding and quickly said that he was not naive enough to think that Li Miaomiao would give them the soap recipe, but if Li Miaomiao wanted some recruitment quotas, she should still give her this favor for the sake of her mother's family.
"Uncle, I'm a technician at our village's soap workshop, not an administrator. These personnel matters are not my responsibility."
Li Miaomiao said this, and seeing that Captain Wang's face was not looking good, she continued, "But our village soap workshop does need to recruit people. How about this, I go back and discuss it with the administrator, and I should be able to give the village a few spots."
Wang Hai originally thought that there was no hope for this matter after hearing what Li Miaomiao said.
"That's great! Miaomiao, I knew you were a kind-hearted child who would not ignore the affairs of the village."
"Uncle, I have something to say in advance. I can ask for a few places in the workshop, but there is one thing: those who go must be hardworking and willing to work. We will not accept those who cheat or act slyly."
"Of course. We worked so hard to get this spot. If anyone goes there and tries to cheat, just kick them out. We'll definitely choose the most diligent and efficient person in the village."
"That's no problem, uncle, wait for my news."
Captain Wang got the accurate information from Li Miaomiao and went back happily. However, Li Degui and He Guixiang looked at Li Miaomiao with concern.
"My dear, we are just being polite. The captain insisted on coming to our house, and we couldn't refuse. How come you actually agreed?!"
