Director Zhong calmed them down and said, "As I just said, it's a factory with excellent benefits and working conditions."
"To put it simply, anyone who knows that this factory is hiring is desperate to get in."
"Guess how much a worker there can earn?"
Ma Guodong shook his head, wiping away tears.
No matter the cost, as long as I have a job, that's fine.
That way, I won't have to get a divorce!
“Xiao Cui, look at him, Ma Guodong is completely out of touch with society and doesn’t know the ways of the world.”
Xiao Cui's mouth dropped open in shock as she was still reeling from the fact that the government had helped the shopkeeper find a job.
When Director Zhong asked her to guess, she thought for a moment and said a number: "Uh, about a hundred yuan?"
That's quite a lot, at least more than I earn doing odd jobs.
Director Zhong complained, "They look down on County Chief Guo? County Chief Guo personally intervened; isn't this a slap in the face?"
"To tell you the truth, the most capable worker in this factory earns this much a month!"
Director Zhong held up one finger.
Xiao Cui smiled and said, "My guess was pretty much right."
"Add another zero!"
With a loud bang.
Xiao Cui fell to the ground: "This, so much???"
Ma Guodong was dumbfounded. A thousand yuan?
How much money must that cost!
Director Zhong said proudly, "That's why we say County Chief Guo's involvement is worth two people."
"This factory does foreign trade and deals with foreigners. Just think about how rich those corrupt imperialist people are?"
They've made a fortune!
"Of course, this is just the top salary; the average salary is between three and eight hundred."
Ma Guodong shouted, "That's enough! That's enough!"
"Director Zhong, do they really want someone like me? If it's really not possible, I can take half my salary!"
Director Zhong said, "No reduction by half, equal pay for equal work, this is what County Chief Guo told me personally."
Ma Guodong gasped, “Thank you to the government! Thank you, County Chief Guo!”
"No need to thank me, it's what we should do." Director Zhong asked, "I forgot to mention, this company is privately owned, is that alright?"
Ma Guodong nodded: "No problem, absolutely no problem! What time is it? Do you think I'd be picky?"
Director Zhong stood up: "Alright then, we'll go to Qingyang Town early the day after tomorrow. I'll send a car to pick you up and show you the way."
"By the way, Xiao Cui should go too, otherwise who will push him along?"
Xiao Cui replied, "Okay, okay, Director Zhong."
Xiao Cui saw Director Zhong off as they left, and walked into the courtyard.
Director Zhong said earnestly, "Xiao Cui, I know you've suffered all these years. Now things are better. Ma Guodong can work. Let bygones be bygones."
"Look forward, aren't things getting better?"
Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Yes, thank you, Director Zhong, and thank you to the government."
"Don't think about those useless things. Once you start working, Ma Guodong will earn more than you."
Xiao Cui scratched her hair shyly.
"Alright, go back now. Get Ma Guodong all dressed up and put on some nice clothes the day after tomorrow."
"Um!"
Xiao Cui returned to the house.
Ma Guodong chuckled foolishly.
Xiao Cui sat on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Xiao Cui, I..."
"I'll go with you the day after tomorrow, let's live a good life together."
"Okay!" Ma Guodong chuckled.

Another residential area of single-story houses in Chishui County.
"Honey, look what I bought!"
A cow can break down a house door.
