Wu Wei's words about restricting personal freedom scared Yi Zhonghai away, causing a burst of laughter from the onlookers in the courtyard.
In fact, everyone in the hospital knew that Zhang Dongmei was pregnant, so they gave her the easiest jobs when they came to work, and she was given special treatment.
Zhang Dongmei doesn't compete with others for formal jobs; she treats it as a form of leisure, a way to balance work and rest while taking care of her pregnancy, and earning money to support herself.
This is the life she has dreamed of for many years!
After all, she had been suppressed by Yi Zhonghai for many years, and even became his punching bag, being beaten and verbally abused at will.
During those dark days, she contemplated suicide.
This shows how Yi Zhonghai treated her.
Correspondingly, she also wants to have her own job and earn money to support herself.
However, in the past, there were no suitable jobs for her. Lacking education and skills, and oppressed by Yi Zhonghai, she was powerless to resist or find work.
Now that Zheng Ya's planting base is recruiting, she didn't even think about the consequences and directly signed up with Yan Fugui.
When Zheng Ya saw her, even if he didn't care about the monk, he still had to give her a work station!
Zhang Dongmei got what she wanted, but Yi Zhonghai was in trouble.
Obviously, if the pregnant woman in the family has started working, shouldn't the man in the family take care of all the daily chores?
The key issue is that Yi Zhonghai is incapable of handling household chores.
In addition, Zhang Dongmei had her hands on Yi Zhonghai's affair with Widow Liang.
In the days to come, Zhang Dongmei would certainly not let Yi Zhonghai have an easy time.
The people in the courtyard discussed this matter in depth, talking animatedly and having a great time.
These days, no radio broadcasts are as exciting as this.
There was also one oddball among them.
Sha Zhu, holding his three-month-old daughter, approached Zheng Ya and pleaded, "Brother Zheng Ya, do you think I could take Liu Lan's place in the work?"
"I can't go home and take care of the kids?"
"Hey, the new dad's here!"
Now that you're a father, do you think you can learn how to take care of a child just by learning?
A young woman must have to ride in a bridal sedan chair at least once in a while, right?
"Unless you're after Li Chunhua's bridal sedan chair and don't want to help Liu Lan with the child, I'll talk to her about it..." Zheng Ya said, then strode away.
Terrified, Sha Zhu, clutching the child, stepped forward to stop them and pleaded, "No, no, brother! My dear brother! If you tell Liu Lan, she'll tear me apart!"
"Wow, Liu Lan is so fierce?"
"Then why don't you call the police and arrest her? Why let her tear you apart alive?" Zheng Ya was just teasing him, but it scared him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was also worried about waking the child, so he tried to speak in a gentle tone.
It was a nonsensical and hilarious remark.
Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment after hearing this, then said with a wry smile, "Brother Zheng Ya, please stop talking nonsense."
Lanzi is very good to me.
I'm just worried about her and wanted to help her with the chores. Could you please do me a favor?
"Oh, so she slept with you? You got a real treat?" Zheng Ya made a suggestive remark in public, causing a burst of laughter from those around him.
Sha Zhu glared at people with a red face, and no one in the courtyard dared to laugh anymore.
It wasn't that they were afraid Sha Zhu would hit someone; they were just afraid that laughing out loud would wake up the child in Sha Zhu's arms, so they all chuckled silently.
Sha Zhu, having tasted the meat, became enamored: "Ahem, Brother Zheng Ya, stop joking with me, could you do me a favor?"
"Silly Zhu, don't bother with your schemes."
My planting base has its own rules, and no one can violate them or make exceptions.
But don't worry, this is just the workers' first day at the planting base; it's just an adaptation period.
The specific division of labor has not yet been negotiated and determined.
For example, the planting base will have a separate canteen, which naturally requires cooks and kitchen helpers, as well as personnel to purchase ingredients.
These jobs were all filled through their own voluntary applications.
They can even do the work of two people, just like Yan Fugui, who works as a full-time employee and also serves as a cashier.
Your Liu Lan is perfectly capable of working in the kitchen, washing and chopping vegetables, and buying groceries. This kind of work is suitable for her and Zhang Dongmei to do together.
"I've already given you special treatment, understand?" Zheng Ya recruited twenty workers, which was already an expansion of the recruitment quota.
In fact, after the planting base is sown, there is basically no work to do.
After all, the greenhouse planting area has not been completed yet, and the vegetable farmers have already started planting, so there is not much work left in the planting base.
So the work of twenty people would be a comprehensive undertaking.
Sha Zhu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Zheng Ya, do you think it's okay for me to quit my job at the steel rolling mill and work for you?"
"Silly Zhu, it's not that I'm saying you're unambitious, you really don't know what's good for you!"
Instead of being so attached to your wife, you'd be better off mastering cooking skills and achieving success in your current job. You won't even need to ask; someone will naturally try to recruit you to a better match.
Besides, distance can be a sign of closeness and warmth. For a couple to live together, it's essential to maintain a proper balance between distance and closeness, reaching a point where they miss each other when apart and are deeply in love when together. That's what makes life truly enjoyable.
"Hey, you wouldn't understand even if I told you this!" Zheng Ya explained the highest level of love to him, then suddenly realized that this roughneck wouldn't understand this at all.
In reality, Sha Zhu's plea was simply to intercede for Qin Huairu.
Zheng Ya wouldn't agree to see through it but not say it.
Sha Zhu blushed deeply at his words. He didn't understand the intricacies of the matter, but he found it quite enjoyable and said embarrassedly, "Brother Zheng Ya, you know so much!"
"Stop giving me that nonsense. Tell me what's going on between you and Ma Hua. What are you after, coming here to help me cook every day?" Zheng Ya felt that their situation was abnormal.
Sha Zhu laughed: "This is not my or Ma Hua's fault, but a task assigned by the factory leaders."
The factory leaders meant that since you donated food and supplies to the factory free of charge, the factory couldn't just do nothing.
When the factory leaders learned that more than 600 people had moved into your planting base to work, they immediately sent me and Ma Hua to help with cooking.
We cook the dishes at the steel rolling mill first, then come here to cook them, so we can do both without any delay and get double pay.
"Oh, there's such a good thing!" Zheng Ya was relieved; the leaders of the steel rolling mill had started to pull strings.
Sha Zhu suddenly leaned closer to him and said, "Brother Zheng Ya, watch out for Liu Haizhong, that guy might be up to no good and is planning something?"
"Oh, hasn't he been behaving well these past few days?"
Could it be that he's up to something at the steel mill again? Zheng Ya hadn't sensed Liu Haizhong's movements these past few days.
Since Li Chunhua instigated the workers to surround Zheng Ya and cause trouble, Liu Haizhong has been behaving himself.
In addition, Liu Haizhong severed ties with his two youngest sons, which was a disgrace to his maternal grandparents, so he became reclusive and rarely appeared in public.
This is starting to cause trouble? That shouldn't be happening.
Sha Zhu quietly revealed two words: poison.
Zheng Ya was taken aback: "Are you sure? Where is he going to poison him?"
"I don't know. Someone just slipped notes to me and Ma Hua, and Liu Haizhong pressured Liu Guangfu. I don't know the specifics." Sha Zhu didn't know the details either.
Zheng Ya sensed something was amiss from Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian's expressions: "Well, I'll handle this."
Liu Guangtian became a temporary worker at the planting base, while Liu Guangfu wasn't selected. Perhaps he had some psychological issues?
"I'm worried that Liu Haizhong might seize the opportunity to instigate things, and Liu Guangfu might do something foolish," Sha Zhu said, expressing his suspicion...
