But he was still unwilling to give up and couldn't help but say, "When you finish this task, can you teach Xu Siya a lesson? I know you'll say I'm petty, but I'm just not happy! She was just a worthless little girl who had to rely on my mood to make a living, but now she's turned the tables and become a full-time employee just like me. I can't swallow this!"
"Besides, I always feel like she climbed up by stepping on me! The more things go wrong for me, the better things go for her! Why should we? Are we really not as good as a little girl and a black element?"
It's unclear what words touched Lu Kai, but after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Just bear with it for now, and don't cause me any trouble during this time! Once I've completed my mission, not only will Xu Siya be a mere girl, but even Gu Zhiyuan will have to be mindful of my feelings from now on!"
Xu Zhenzhu's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Brother Lu Kai, I will definitely keep your instructions in mind! I promise I won't provoke her during this time!"
Lu Kai nodded in satisfaction.
Other than that, Xu Zhenzhu really listened to him. Even if she was unwilling, she would obey him as long as he asked.
This is one of the reasons why Lu Kai still married Xu Zhenzhu despite her various flaws.
After all, it's not easy to find such a gentle and obedient wife in the city.
Seeing that Lu Kai was satisfied, Xu Zhenzhu recalled the words her second brother and sister-in-law had sent a few days ago, and a shadow crossed her eyes.
He tentatively asked, "Brother Lu Kai, since your factory has a new task assigned, do you need to hire people?"
Lu Kai knew what Xu Zhenzhu was planning as soon as he heard her voice.
He said impatiently, "Are you asking about jobs for your nephews again? This machinery factory isn't part of the Lu family. Jobs aren't that easy to find. Don't make any promises you can't keep. Let me tell you, my dad is the kind of person who won't tolerate any dishonesty. He absolutely won't let you get in through connections!"
Seeing Xu Zhenzhu's pitiful appearance, he thought for a moment and decided that he should give her a sweet treat after giving her a good beating.
He then reassured her, "Are you stupid? Even if our machinery factory really is hiring, we can't hire people from your family! If people see that, they'll say my dad is being biased. There are so many factories in our county, why are we only targeting the machinery factory? Can't we hire other factories? I'm telling you, your family shouldn't be too greedy. In the current situation, it would be good enough if we could get a job at another factory. Are you trying to be picky?"
"You've married into the Lu family! The Lu family is your home! In the future, everyone in the Lu family, young and old, will belong to our children. If you use up all my father's connections now for your own family, what will happen to our children when they grow up?"
"You also need to think about our future and our children, right?"
A few words about our future and our children were enough to fool Xu Zhenzhu.
Xu Zhenzhu knew that Lu Kai and Xu Siya didn't have children in their previous life because Siya was in poor health and couldn't have any.
Even so, Lu Kai never looked down on Siya and treated her well for the rest of his life.
Later, all his belongings were given to his elder brother's two sons.
Siya was born with a lowly fate and poor health. Despite marrying into a family like the Lu family, she couldn't even lay a single egg.
After her rebirth, she paid special attention to recuperating and protecting her body. She is in great health, and Lu Kai is also in good health. If they have three or four children in the future, their huge family fortune will not fall into the hands of others!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she took Lu Kai's words to heart.
Indeed, she has now used up all her father-in-law's favors by arranging jobs for her family. What will happen to her, Lu Kai, and their child in the future?
Thinking about it this way, the idea of finding a job for the Xu family so that they could explain things when they went back home for the New Year immediately vanished.
After a quick thought, she realized she needed to get pregnant soon.
After washing up, Xu Zhenzhu changed into a nightgown that revealed her arms and legs, and gracefully walked up to Lu Kai.
Lu Kai had been working hard and had been celibate for several days. Seeing Xu Zhenzhu's fair skin and the faint scent of snow cream, he couldn't help but feel tempted.
He dropped the book he was holding, turned over, and climbed up...
With Lu Kai's assurance, Xu Zhenzhu became much calmer when she looked at Xu Ningyan. She didn't react like a firecracker when others praised Xu Ningyan.
Instead, he had an expression that said, "I'll just watch you jump around, see how long you can keep jumping."
The implication was that Xu Ningyan's glory days were numbered, and that he would soon prove his worth.
The news quickly reached Xu Ningyan's ears. Although she didn't know what Xu Zhenzhu was up to, she became more vigilant.
However, Xu Zhenzhu remained vigilant until Gu Zhiyuan went on vacation, but there was still no movement from him.
Gu Zhiyuan took a holiday on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month because the design drawings for the A03 project had already been submitted, and all that was left was production. So they were relatively free before the new year.
I've heard that after the New Year, a new task will be assigned, which is supposedly to select talented individuals from the grassroots level and then send them to participate in a larger project.
However, no one knows what this new task is yet.
Rumors were flying everywhere, and for a time, the design department was in turmoil, with people no longer focused on their work.
So the design department simply gave everyone a holiday. However, Lin's father still gave Gu Zhiyuan a special reminder: even if he wasn't working, he couldn't stop learning, otherwise he would be surpassed sooner or later and fall behind.
After explaining everything, Lin's father released the person early, allowing everyone to have a peaceful New Year.
Xu Ningyan and Gu Zhiyuan had originally planned to spend the New Year with Sun Zhou, since he was all alone and it would be too sad to spend the New Year alone.
Sun Zhou had already gotten train tickets and planned to go back to Beijing before the New Year, so the two of them decided to go back to Tuanjie Brigade for the New Year.
Through Sun Zhou's connections, he went to the transport team, gave them two packs of cigarettes, and secured two seats in the back compartments.
The transport team has another short-distance transport trip before the Lunar New Year, which happens to pass through the Tuanjie Brigade, so they can give two people a ride.
Xu Ningyan had prepared a bag of cured fish, cured pork, cured ribs, and cured pig's head in advance, which was stuffed into a snakeskin bag.
There were also two changes of clothes, as well as candy, pastries, and drinks.
And finally, of course, there's the lackey dog.
With so much stuff, it's fortunate that Sun Zhou knew someone in the transport team; otherwise, relying on a bus to transport it back would have been a pipe dream.
When the agreed time arrived, the two of them moved all the items to an inconspicuous corner where the transport team would pass by.
We waited for almost an hour before we finally saw the convoy.
If the two hadn't been pacing back and forth, they probably would have frozen to death in this weather.
There was someone in the driver's seat, so the two of them climbed into the passenger compartment.
The carriage was a bit drafty on all four sides, but it was still better than being outside.
He piled all his luggage around him, so he could reach it within arm's reach.
Fortunately, Xu Ningyan was prepared; his military canteen was full of brown sugar ginger tea that he had brewed that morning. In this weather, taking a hot sip or two was an unparalleled pleasure.
