Chapter 6 A Bigger Backer
The director was furious because he failed to do the favor.
But seeing Huang Ling's hesitant look, and it didn't seem like she did it on purpose, he could only give up.
Huang Ling was also afraid that the director would give her a hard time behind her back, so she found a bigger backer - Director Lin.
One time, the director went to Director Lin’s office and actually heard Huang Ling’s voice.
Director Lin was very polite: "Xiao Huang, please sit down for a moment. Zhenfeng will be here soon. Have a cup of tea first!"
"Director, don't worry, I'll knit a sweater and wait for him." Huang Ling took out a net bag and started knitting a sweater.
"Zhenfeng said, 'That math! It's like a revelation! If you can just focus on it, you'll definitely be able to go to university!'"
"The main thing is that Zhenfeng is smart and has a good foundation. If not him, who will get into Peking University or Tsinghua University?" Huang Ling flattered him.
"Your sister Lan said she'd like to invite you to her house for dinner on her day off. She also wants to learn how to knit this sweater from you!"
"That's no problem. However, although Zhenfeng is preparing for the science exam, he can't slack off on Chinese."
"Tell me more about it."
"Think about it, people generally don't prioritize Chinese because they think just knowing how to read is enough. But the Chinese language section is actually very long, and many people can't finish it all. If we improve our speed, not only will we be able to leave them far behind in math, but we'll also be able to do Chinese!"
"Right, right, right! That makes perfect sense! Drink some water, drink some water!"
"Don't worry, I have many good ideas!"
“Okay, okay!”
The director listened for a long time and realized what was going on. He didn't expect Huang Ling to have such ability.
Seeing that the two men stopped talking, the director knocked on the door and went in.
"Director Li, you're here." Huang Ling saw the director enter the room, and hurriedly stood up and retreated to the corner.
"Factory Director."
The director was holding a stack of documents and was about to speak when he heard Director Lin speak:
"Director Li, now that you're here, I want to tell you that Huang Ling is a good comrade!"
"Yes, Xiao Huang is the most hardworking comrade in our workshop."
"Oh, Director Li, I remember you mentioned last month that the workshop office was still short of an educated person to work as a clerk?"
After Director Lin sat down in his office chair, he picked up the teacup and drank water tactically, waiting for Director Li to speak.
"Oh, yes, that's what I came back for! I've inspected all the comrades in the workshop and I think Huang Ling is a perfect fit. She's conscientious, unites colleagues, and has a solid cultural foundation."
The director understood the situation and just went down the slope.
"Okay, then write an application and I'll approve it." Director Lin made the decision.
Director Li reported on other work and left.
When he left, he looked back and saw Huang Ling sitting back in her chair and starting knitting.
Only after he left did Huang Ling stand up and bow ninety degrees to Director Lin.
After a while, Lin Zhenfeng arrived.
Director Lin had some considerations about studying in his office.
First of all, it saves electricity, water and tea.
Secondly, he could keep an eye on his son.
Third, Huang Ling is a lesbian.
In a while, his wife, Sister Lan, will bring dinner.
Huang Ling had a meal with them and could save some food for Tuanan and Xiaoting.
Huang Ling used the rewards from the system very carefully, for fear that someone would find out her weakness.
Now, she can work in the office, not only earning an extra five dollars, but also no longer having to do physical work or work shifts. She only needs to work four night shifts every month.
When I got home, it was already late.
Zhuang Chaoying had already had dinner with the two children and arranged for them to wash their feet.
As soon as Huang Ling got home, he started complaining:
"You're still imitating others and tutoring others! If you have the ability, you should become a teacher!"
"Being a teacher is so great! There are so many teachers who are not as good as me! Besides, my tutoring can create value for our family. What value do you create for your family by tutoring others? You just need a "good person" card, right?"
"Can the Good Samaritan Card let your son eat an extra bowl of rice? No! But I can! If I don't come back to eat today, our two children can eat a few more bites!"
Zhuang Chaoying was speechless.
"I'm so tired. If you keep talking, I'll slap you!" Huang Ling glanced at the two children reading picture books in the room and said in a low voice.
Zhuang Chaoying pulled her out two steps and whispered:
"My parents called and said we didn't give them any money this month, so they don't have enough to eat. They asked me..."
"Pa!" Huang Ling slapped him.
Although you can get system rewards by cursing more, it is still more satisfying to take action.
Zhuang Chaoying raised his face and she hit him on the head again.
"Not enough! Is that enough now?"
Zhuang Chaoying raised his face again, and she hit him again.
"Is it enough? We don't have enough rice, but a slap is enough!"
If you hit your face too much, people will notice it easily, but not your head.
Huang Ling gritted her teeth and said:
"If you dare to take even a grain of rice from my house, I will fight them. I will kill your entire family first and then go to jail! You can try and see if I dare!"
Huang Ling took out a kitchen knife from the cupboard and slammed it hard on the table.
"You!" Zhuang Chaoying's chest heaved up and down, but he could no longer utter a word.
"I want to see if they can starve to death without your twenty-five dollars! If they starve to death, I'll be there to collect their bodies!"
"Huang Ling, you're going too far!"
"You know who's wrong, you coward! Foolish filial son! Low-quality blood bag! Idiot!"
"It's a good thing you don't have any skills. If you had more money, they would definitely peel you off, gnaw on your flesh, and suck your blood!"
"Look at those two kids. Have they ever eaten a piece of candy or a bowl of rice from your brother and sister-in-law? What about you? Have you ever received a penny from them? And you still want me to make clothes for them? I'll just beat you up!"
Huang Ling finished her speech and felt great, so she washed her feet.
Lying on the bed, I kissed and hugged my son and daughter, told them stories, and then chatted with Tongzi. It wasn't boring at all.
Zhuang Chaoying's face hurt, his head hurt, and his heart hurt even more.
I feel sorry for my parents, brothers, and nephews who don’t have enough to eat.
He still didn't understand. He was the eldest brother, so why was he called a blood bag for giving such a small amount?
However, he thought about it carefully and realized that the two children really had not gained anything.
But, what does it matter!
Exhausting their muscles and bones and starving their bodies will benefit Tunan and the others!
In the following days, Zhuang Chaoying gave Li Yiming and others extra lessons.
They found a classmate's home, where there was only an old lady with poor hearing, and it was not far from Zhuang's home, so they invited Zhuang Chaoying to attend classes there.
Everyone saw Huang Ling's mouth and was very afraid of her, so they dared not come to his house again.
Huang Ling also worked hard to tutor Director Lin's son. As long as he successfully passed the college entrance examination, she would be able to run the cotton mill in the future!
She knew that Li Yiming failed the exam.
Because Director Lin's son is a new character and is not mentioned in the book, Huang Ling is a little nervous because she is not sure whether he can pass the exam.
After the college entrance examination, Zhuang Chaoying went to participate in the paper marking.
