When everyone heard Zhang Cuilian's exclamation, they all looked at Qiao Baozhu in shock.
Qiao Baozhu was so angry that she laughed. She looked at Zhang Cuilian helplessly and said, "Sister Zhang, what are you thinking? I opened a clothing store in the city and I don't have time to come back to work. Why are you getting a divorce?"
Seeing that Qiao Baozhu was determined to resign and start her own business, Zhang Cuilian was so anxious that she didn't care about her leader being around. She said hastily, "Baozhu, you are a military dependent. You can't do those speculations or you will be arrested and sent to labor reform. If it really comes to that, Captain Shen won't be able to protect you."
Qiao Baozhu knew that Zhang Cuilian was telling the truth because she loved her sincerely. She also noticed that, except for Director Guo who was calm and composed, everyone else congratulated her on the surface but actually despised her for quitting her job to do business.
She didn't want to explain too much, but she thought that public opinion would bring a lot of trouble to Shen Xiao. The most important thing was that the farm was afraid of problems and dared not cooperate with her, which was not good.
Qiao Baozhu is very confident in herself and is not afraid of not being able to find someone to do odd jobs for her. But it is safer to ask Qingyanshan Farm to accept it than to go outside and find strangers. With Director Guo keeping an eye on things, at least we won't offend those people on the committee.
"Sister-in-law, I definitely wouldn't dare to do anything speculative. This clothing store was supported by our street, and it's a unit that provides jobs for disabled people. The street director personally took me to handle the formalities, and it was only opened after the Disabled Persons' Federation approved it and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau reviewed and approved it."
The leaders present immediately understood that the mutual aid society was co-founded with Qingyanshan Farm in order to solve the problem of unemployment among military families.
The army handled the formalities for finding a sideline project, and the farm provided the site for building an office. It is to solve the difficulties of family members in finding employment and the plight of low wages for local farmers and workers.
The nature of Qiao Baozhu's clothing store is similar to a mutual aid society on a farm. Several leaders of the farm also felt relieved, and the worry on Zhang Cuilian's face turned into envy.
While the couple were still trying to find connections to stay in the army, Qiao Baozhu and her husband had already quietly chosen a way out.
He must have received the news in advance!
It would be a lie for Zhang Cuilian to say that she wasn't sad. She wished she could have received the news in advance. I will definitely use all my connections to help my husband transfer to a more suitable place.
Zhang Cuilian felt depressed and didn't hear clearly what the people around her said. I only heard Qiao Baozhu say "leave it to Wu Meili" and I couldn't help but look up.
"What happened to Wu Meili?"
Qiao Baozhu smiled and said, "Director Guo just asked me if I had chosen a successor. I said I had, and asked Sister Wu to take over my job."
Zhang Cuilian took a breath and blurted out: "Let her take over your job? Your job can sell for at least 700 or 800 yuan. Where does she get so much money?"
Qiao Baozhu said with a hint of meaning: "I know she can't afford it, so let her write me an IOU. In two years, when the children grow up and can work and earn money, they can pay me back."
Qiao Baozhu smiled and looked at Director Guo: "She works on the farm. With Director Guo watching her, I'm not afraid that she will run away, right?"
Although Director Guo didn't know who the person Qiao Baozhu was talking about was, when he saw that Zhang Cuilian also knew him, he guessed that it was a family member in the family compound.
He smiled and asked, "You said this Wu... something, she is also a family member of the Corps, right?"
Qiao Baozhu nodded and pointed to the mutual aid society: "That's the lady standing at the door issuing invoices just now."
Director Guo raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It turned out to be her. She is suitable for doing manual labor, not sitting in an office."
"Sister Wu is very capable. She is good at both housework and outside work. She can farm, hunt game, and butcher pigs. We always ask her to do the butchering at the end of the year in our family compound."
Qiao Baozhu spared no effort in praising Wu Meili in front of Director Guo, allowing her to make a good impression in front of her leader.
"But her situation is a little special now."
Qiao Baozhu took this opportunity to tell Director Guo about Wu Meili's situation. A young widow who had lost her father lived alone with several children. Because she followed the army, her household registration was in the city, and she lived according to the food ration book every month.
Now that Captain Jiang is gone, our monthly salary has stopped, and we have been living on the two hundred yuan or so.
Qiao Baozhu is not a saint. She really has no shortage of money now. More importantly, she needs a confidant, a confidant who lives in Qingyanshan Farm.
There is no better way than to provide help when it is needed.
"I suggest that Sister Wu go to the farm cafeteria. What do you think, Director Guo?"
