Mr. Qin lost his life because he was trying to save the factory's property during the fire and was unable to escape.
Based on this contribution, the factory decided to not only provide a higher compensation than usual, but also promised to arrange a job for Qin Hanshu when she grows up.
However, just over ten days ago, Yang Aizhen forced and coaxed Hu Wenwen to give up this job opportunity.
At this time, the "Down to the Countryside Movement" is in full swing, and jobs in factories and government offices are in high demand.
The textile factory couldn't refuse to give Qin Hanshu a job because of a previous promise, but they weren't too happy about transferring the job to someone else.
The job transfer was perfectly legal and legitimate. The textile factory had no legitimate reason to prevent the Qin family from transferring the job, so they could only stall for time and tell Hu Wenwen to go home and wait for news.
This wait lasted for more than ten days.
When the factory manager saw Qin Hanshu come to him, he assumed she was there to inquire about a job, so he quickly put on a worried face and complained, "It's not that the factory doesn't want to arrange something as soon as possible. You can see for yourself how many young people are looking for work these days. Our factory is already at full capacity, even the workshop staff are full!"
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "Factory manager, I'm not here to urge the factory to assign me work. I've regretted it and want to transfer the job to someone else."
"You're not transferring it to your half-sister?" the factory manager asked in surprise. "Then who will you transfer it to?"
Qin Hanshu said, "I don't have a specific candidate in mind. Could you help me transfer this job?"
The factory manager's eyes lit up.
The current regulations stipulate that all eligible young people in every household who are unemployed must go to the countryside.
Countless people have come to him seeking employment, and he's struggling to find suitable jobs for them.
The factory manager hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can help you introduce people who need work..."
Qin Hanshu interrupted, "I can't wait any longer. I want to transfer the job directly to you. As for who you transfer it to next, that's up to you. Also, regarding the conditions for transferring the job... I want four hundred yuan plus two hundred industrial vouchers."
Two hundred industrial coupons are a lot of money; a newlywed couple only spent one hundred of them to set up a home.
But Qin Hanshu didn't want much money. Given the current market conditions, the factory manager could definitely make a profit by reselling it.
Qin Hanshu spoke so bluntly, and since there was no one else around, the factory manager stopped pretending and readily agreed.
He just didn't have that much money on him, so he told Qin Hanshu to come to the factory to get it tomorrow.
Qin Hanshu agreed and asked the factory director to inform Hu Wenwen about her job being transferred to someone else after some time.
The factory manager readily agreed.
Qin Shuhan felt somewhat relieved.
If possible, she would like to stay in the city to work.
However, Hu Dayong used his status as her guardian to register her, and the files of the street office and the educated youth office were established. But the job at the textile factory was delayed for a long time, and time was of the essence.
Fortunately, she knew there would be a chance to return to the city in the future, and since there was still space available, she couldn't endure too much hardship.
***
Qin Hanshu returned home, but no one was home. However, the postman happened to deliver a letter to her.
The letter was sent by Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang is Qin Hanshu's cousin.
Qin's father had two brothers, and Qin Hanshu also had an uncle.
Uncle Qin joined the army at a young age and died in Huaihai in 1949. After his death, his wife remarried, and Qin Feiyang was taken care of by his uncle.
Qin Feiyang is seven years older than Qin Hanshu, and the two have a very good relationship, just like biological siblings.
Three years after Qin's father passed away, Qin Feiyang followed in his father's footsteps and joined the army. Although he hasn't returned home much in recent years, he often communicates with Qin Hanshu.
In the past, Qin Hanshu was the type to keep her grievances to herself. She would tell Qin Feiyang about her small troubles in life, but she would not talk about big problems.
For example, she never mentioned the oppression she suffered at the hands of the Hu family.
It wasn't until six months after her death that Qin Feiyang, having not received any letters from her, asked Yang Aizhen. Yang Aizhen, realizing she could no longer hide it, finally told him about her suicide.
Qin Hanshu still remembers the scene when Qin Feiyang rushed back from the army, his eyes bloodshot, almost strangling Yang Aizhen to death.
Qin Feiyang had always been a cheerful and optimistic person. Qin Hanshu's death filled him with not only self-blame and guilt, but also a deep hatred for the Hu family and Yang Aizhen. After leaving the military, Qin Feiyang made avenging his sister his primary goal in life and began to oppose the Hu family.
However, Hu Wenwen's countless supporters ultimately led to Qin Feiyang's utter defeat, resulting in his wife being humiliated, his son being kidnapped, and him becoming a mentally unstable homeless man.
Qin Hanshu clenched his fist.
As she tallied up all the debts, she was determined to make sure the Hu family never had an easy time in this lifetime!
This time, Qin Feiyang's letter was, as usual, just a routine greeting.
Qin Hanshu immediately replied, explaining that she was going to the countryside and attaching the specific address of the place where she was to be sent, asking Qin Feiyang to use that address next time he sent a letter.
After writing the letter, Yang Aizhen and Hu Wenwen returned home. The table was piled with bags and packages, indicating that they had bought quite a lot of things.
Hu Wenwen glanced at Qin Hanshu and deliberately said loudly, "Mom, this military green fabric is good. I want to make a new military uniform to wear."
Yang Aizhen smiled and replied, "Okay."
Wearing military uniforms is fashionable in society now. Hu Wenwen already has two sets, but Qin Hanshu doesn't have one.
Previously, when Qin Hanshu saw Hu Wenwen wearing a military uniform, he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes, which always made Hu Wenwen feel very proud.
But Qin Hanshu didn't even lift an eyelid when she heard her words, and went straight back to her room.
After her initial surprise, Hu Wenwen became angry. She stomped her foot and gritted her teeth, saying, "What's with the high-and-mighty attitude...?"
