Zhou Guihua walked into Zhao's house and immediately smiled. "Sister-in-law, are you grilling fish at home? Your family has a good meal recently. We grill fish every day!"
As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Guihua's eyes began to look around. In recent days, the aroma of grilled fish wafted from Mrs. Zhao's house every day, making the children in the family compound drool with greed.
After seeing that there were four or five big grass carps in the big water tank at Mrs. Zhao's house, Zhou Guihua began to feel jealous again.
It's good for a man to be a team leader. He has a high salary and can eat meat and fish every day. It's not like her family, who relies on the man's salary of more than 30 yuan to support the family. The whole family lives on the one or two kilograms of meat tickets a month, and can only taste meat once in half a month. They are reluctant to buy fish and only eat meat occasionally. It's not like Sister Zhao's family, who eat fish in different ways every day.
However, Zhou Guihua came to see Mrs. Zhao today for something important, so let's put the meat aside for now.
"Oh, why are you here at this time?" When Mrs. Zhao saw that it was Zhou Guihua who came, her attitude was cold and indifferent.
Zhou Guihua is a well-known gossipmonger in the compound. She loves to gossip about others behind their backs and is good at making up stories. If caught, she will refuse to admit it and even have a big fight with others.
Mrs. Zhao didn't have a good impression of her and hardly ever interacted with her.
"Sister-in-law, I came here today because I want to ask you for help with something." Zhou Guihua could see that Sister-in-law Zhao had a cold attitude, but she didn't mind since she had to ask for help, and she still had a smile on her face.
"Help?" Mrs. Zhao looked alert when she heard this. "How can I help you?"
Zhou Guihua tugged at the hem of her clothes and said with a smile, "That's it, Captain Gu's family, didn't Jiang Yue open a clothing store in the county? I heard that the store was short of people, so I thought, I'm idle at home, can my sister-in-law introduce me to someone?"
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, her eyebrows raised, "Do you want to work in Jiang Yue's store?"
Zhou Guihua responded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes! Isn't Jiang Yue's store also short of people? I happen to have time! It's perfect!"
Mrs. Zhao frowned and said indifferently, "If you want to work in Jiang Yue's store, you should go to Jiang Yue to talk to her! Isn't it a detour to ask me?"
Zhou Guihua pinched the hem of her clothes, with a forced smile on her face. "Didn't I have some unpleasantness with Jiang Yue before? I'm embarrassed to go to her now..."
While speaking, Zhou Guihua lowered her head, looking really reserved and embarrassed.
But she kept squinting her eyes and secretly glanced at Mrs. Zhao's expression.
Sister Zhao naturally knew what the conflict between Zhou Guihua and Jiang Yue was. A few months ago, Zhou Guihua heard from somewhere that Gu Ye had filed a divorce report, so she spread it around the family compound.
Later, after Jiang Yue misunderstood Gu Ye and ran away, it was Zhou Guihua who spread rumors in the family compound that Jiang Yue was divorced by Gu Ye. She even made up a rumor that it was because Jiang Yue had a strange man outside and the strange man was beaten by Gu Ye and sent to the hospital.
After Jiang Yue came back, Zhou Guihua was still not quiet. Once, Jiang Yue caught her saying that she had an extramarital affair again. Jiang Yue grabbed Zhou Guihua's hair and slapped her several times on the spot. She also wanted to drag Zhou Guihua to Commander Zheng to reason with her. Zhou Guihua was frightened and she knelt down to apologize to Jiang Yue, crying and shouting that she would not go to Commander Zheng no matter what.
Of course Zhou Guihua didn't dare to meet Commander Zheng. Her husband had just been promoted and she was afraid that it would affect her husband's future.
This incident caused quite a stir. It was said that even Gu Ye was furious. Zhou Guihua's husband forced Zhou Guihua to apologize to Gu Ye and Jiang Yue with his tail between his legs. After all, it concerned Jiang Yue's reputation, and it was not good to make a big fuss. If it got out, it would only make the situation worse.
At that time, Zhou Guihua knelt down, made promises, and slapped herself in the face. Her husband also slapped her in the face, knocking out two of her teeth. Later, everything just passed like that.
Zhou Guihua had indeed become a lot more honest, and no one heard her gossiping about Jiang Yue in the staff quarters anymore. However, she still made Sister Zhao very uncomfortable when she suddenly came today to ask for help in getting a job in Jiang Yue's store.
"Sister-in-law, I know I have a bad mouth, but that was in the past. I have changed now! Please help me speak good words to Jiang Yue. I see that Zhang Yan and Lian Rongrong are working for Jiang Yue, and I also want to make progress!" Zhou Guihua observed the expressions on the faces of the people around her and saw that Sister Zhao had a stern face, so she quickly spoke good words for herself.
"Okay, I get it. When I see Jiang Yue later, I'll tell her about it!"
Seeing that Sister Zhao had let go, Zhou Guihua hurriedly smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Sister-in-law. I'll leave this matter to you!"
Zhou Guihua walked out of the door happily and happened to run into Wang Weiwei. Zhou Guihua looked away uncomfortably and walked away.
Wang Weiwei saw that Zhou Guihua came from Zhao's house. It happened that she was going to Zhao's house too. After entering the house, she asked, "Sister-in-law, what does Zhou Guihua want to see you about?"
Mrs. Zhao and Wang Weiwei are from the same hometown. Wang Weiwei's husband was transferred to the 179th Division Headquarters just last month. The two met while buying vegetables one day. When they heard their accents, they realized they were from the same hometown. They immediately linked arms. When fellow villagers met, their eyes were filled with tears. Their relationship has heated up rapidly during this period.
"Oh, Zhou Guihua, she wants to work in Jiang Yue's store and wants me to talk to Jiang Yue for her!" Mrs. Zhao was applying pepper to grass carp when she heard this.
Wang Weiwei sneered when she heard this, "Sister-in-law, please don't introduce her to him! Zhou Guihua is two-faced, saying one thing in front of people and another behind their backs! When I came back from shopping this morning, I heard her scolding Jiang Yue with my own ears, saying that only a person with a mental disorder would spend thirty yuan to buy a piece of tattered clothes from Jiang Yue's store!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao's wife cursed: "Fuck her mother, she cursed Jiang Yue while wanting to work in Jiang Yue's shop to earn a high salary. How could Zhou Guihua have such a beautiful dream!"
Sister Zhao didn't even put powder on the grass carp. As soon as she put the plate down, she went to find Zhou Guihua. She couldn't get rid of the anger unless she scolded this bitch to her face!
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry with her! It's not worth getting angry with her!" Wang Weiwei quickly pulled Sister-in-law Zhao back, "Let's not be fooled by her. Just don't introduce her to someone else! Isn't she just jealous of Jiang Yue's high salary at the store? Let her be jealous!"
"Right! I won't introduce her to you, let her be jealous!" Sister Zhao snorted, "Jiang Yue is such a good girl, she will help us all get rich! Zhou Guihua is just jealous of us because we are rich! Who told her to talk nonsense? It's too late to regret it now!"
Wang Weiwei smiled and said, “Sister-in-law is right!”
"Come on, Weiwei, let's not talk about Zhou Guihua, help me taste this plate of fish and see how it tastes."
…
Gu Ye first drove to the city. The downtown branch was managed by Zhang Yan, a relative of quartermaster staff officer Wang. Her family was in the city, so when Jiang Yue was looking for someone to be a store manager in the city, Lian Rongrong recommended Zhang Yan to her.
Jiang Yue's relationship with Zhang Yan was not as close as her relationship with Zhao Saozi and Lian Rongrong, but after getting to know each other, she found that Zhang Yan was also honest and reliable. She graduated from junior high school, could write and calculate, and was smart, so she quickly got the hang of it.
"Jiang Yue, you're here!" Zhang Yan saw Jiang Yue getting off the big jeep and came up to greet her happily.
"Please bring your ski suits. I have several customers who specifically asked for them. I am overwhelmed by their pestering!"
