Zhang Yuhong still cherishes this job very much because she and her girlfriends had talked about their salaries in private and found that none of them earned as much as she did!
Not to mention the other benefits.
Everyone else envied her and wanted to work at the cake factory with her.
Zhang Yuhong said to Zhang Xintian, "Can't you just find a regular job? Our boss is going to open a branch factory in Shanghai and will probably take a few experienced workers with him, so there will be vacancies in the factory. Do you want to come?"
Zhang Yuhong was annoyed with him because he frequently asked her for money but never paid it back. Now, she wouldn't lend him more, so he would only lend her a few dozen or a hundred yuan, or ten or twenty yuan, and he wouldn't complain about the small amount.
Zhang Xintian: "I just got into a fight with the He family today, and now you want me to work for them? Are you kidding me?"
"Why are you fighting with them?" Zhang Yuhong said. "I think Grandma is right. Mom is married now. If we keep going over to bother her, it will only make things difficult for her. If she does well, she will definitely treat us well."
"Bullshit!" Zhang Xintian jumped up and down in anger. "She only cares about herself, who cares about us? I asked her for money, and she wouldn't give it to me even though she had it, and she treats us badly, what a load of bull!"
"You went to ask Mom for money?" Zhang Yuhong exclaimed in surprise. "Why did you go again?"
Tang Ping hadn't told Zhang Yuhong about Zhang Xintian asking her for money, but Tang Ping's family knew about it. So when the siblings went to pay New Year's visits, their grandparents and uncles would talk to them about it, telling them to be more sensible and bringing up the matter.
“She’s my mother, why can’t I ask her for money?” Zhang Xintian said righteously. “If she doesn’t give the money she earns to me, who else can she give it to? Her two stepsons bought houses and cars, and when I asked her for 50,000 yuan, she wouldn’t give it to me. Her heart is entirely with the He family. No wonder people say that when a mother remarries, there is a stepfather and a stepmother. That’s really true.”
"Fifty thousand yuan?" Zhang Yuhong was taken aback. "You asked Mom for fifty thousand yuan?"
"So what if it's 50,000? She definitely has it. Even if she doesn't, if she really wanted to give it to me, she would find a way to ask the He family for it. Other parents try every means to get money for their sons, but what about her?"
“You said you wanted five hundred or five thousand, that would be more like it, but that’s fifty thousand!” Zhang Yuhong said. “The He family isn’t stupid.”
“Yuhong, the He family is rich. You work at a cake factory, which is quite close to Lin Fei and He Wenjun. Why didn’t you think about flirting with them?” Zhang Xintian said. “They are well-off. If you find a rich partner, your life will be easier in the future.”
"I already have a boyfriend."
"Your boyfriend, damn it, he has nothing. I don't know what you're after." Zhang Xintian said with a look of disgust when talking about Zhang Yuhong's boyfriend. "If you had managed to hook up with He Wenjun, you would have a house and a car. I heard he earns more than 20,000 yuan a year now, plus rent. Can your boyfriend compare?"
Hearing her belittle her boyfriend like that, Zhang Yuhong was furious: "No matter how bad my boyfriend is, he's still better than you. At least he has a salary, unlike you, who has to ask me for living expenses. Any woman who dates you is unlucky."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xintian became enraged and slapped Zhang Yuhong across the face!
"Trying to lecture me now! You think you're asking for it!"
Zhang Yuhong burst into tears and started fighting with him, but how could she possibly beat the unruly Zhang Xintian? She could only take the beating.
The arguing and crying attracted their grandparents, or rather, the two elderly people, who pulled them apart.
"It's Chinese New Year, what's all the noise about?"
"He said my boyfriend was no good in this way or that way, and he even hit me!" Zhang Yuhong cried as she accused him.
Zhang Xintian: "It was never good to begin with, a penniless wretch!"
"You think you're rich? You don't even have a decent job, you live on borrowed money, no girl would be blind to marry you! Just wait to be a bachelor, grow old alone, and have no one to see you off in your old age!"
Hearing this, the Zhang family elders were furious!
To the old man, these words were extremely malicious.
The two elders immediately reprimanded Zhang Yuhong: "You deserve to be beaten! How can you talk to your own brother like that? What good will it do you if your brother can't find a wife? You can't even keep quiet during the New Year, spewing nonsense!"
Zhang Yuhong felt even worse and stormed off.

The He family was unaware that the Zhang siblings had another argument.
Several adults were comforting Tang Ping.
He Wenlin had already washed up and was sitting on the sofa, slurping up rice noodles. The spicy and sour pork intestine noodles were incredibly delicious.
"Why are you two looking so gloomy? Are you going to eat or not? If not, give me the pig intestines." After saying that, He Wenlin stretched out her chopsticks.
He Wenhua and He Wenjun immediately blocked their way: "Dream on!"
He Wenhua: "Eat less and stay in shape."
“I’m in great shape, it’s okay for me to eat a little more,” He Wenlin said. “But you, brother, have gained at least ten pounds now.”
"Ever since you launched the employee discount card, my sister-in-law has been buying cakes almost every day. How could I not gain weight?"
He Wenlin launched an employee discount card this summer, which allows employees of the cake shop and cake production and processing plant to get a 25% discount on cakes. As a result, Yuan Ya basically takes one or two cakes home every day.
After buying it, Yuan Ya ate a little and then stopped. He Wenhua didn't want to waste it, so she finished it all before it expired. The cake was high in sugar, and He Wenhua gained weight quickly.
“I was even telling you to take back your sister-in-law’s discount card so she wouldn’t have to buy cakes every day. She hasn’t gained weight, but I have.
“I wouldn’t dare take it back. She’s my sister-in-law. If I didn’t give her anything for free, would it be right to take back the discount card?” He Wenlin laughed. “Besides, my sister-in-law is just looking out for my business.”
"Come on. You're such a big boss, do you really need this little bit of sales we provide?"
He Wenjun slurped up a mouthful of noodles and said, "Linlin, next year when we go to Taiwan, you'll come with us. My brother will cover the expenses, okay?"
"It depends on the situation. I need to have time," He Wenlin said. "As you know, I have a shop in Shanghai, and I'm planning to open a branch there. The shop there needs to be renovated, and the factory also needs to be renovated."
He Wenlin rented a 300-square-meter factory to use as a cake and bread processing plant.
We'll be starting renovations after the New Year, so we'll be busy for a while.
"Without you by my side, to be honest, my brother and I are a little panicked."
Whether it was a business deal or a long journey to discuss something, the two brothers were indeed a little apprehensive.
He Wenlin said, "We'll talk about this after you get your permits. It's still early. It will take at least a month or two for you to get your permits. We'll talk about it then. I'll definitely go when I have time. I also want to bring my parents along so they can go out and see the world."
If you don't go out and explore more, your thinking and perspective will become limited.
