Chapter 189 This decision is highly controversial
During the day, Li Dongbo could earn work points at the commune, and at night he would patrol Liu Nian's cosmetics factory. His job was to wait for the workers to get off work, check whether the facilities and warehouse were closed, and then get up to patrol several times at night.
That's basically all the work involved. When Liu Nian approached Li Dongbo, Li Dongbo was clearly incredulous.
"You want me to watch the warehouse and patrol for you tonight?" Li Dongbo confirmed several times. "You want me to?"
That way he can earn two cents! And things will be much better for his family!
Liu Nian nodded and said, "Yes."
Li Cuihua was standing at a distance watching her, her eyes fixed on her. She remembered Liu Nian and happily moved closer to Liu Nian.
"Where did you get all that dirt on you?" Li Dongbo stopped Li Cuihua, who kept getting closer to Liu Nian, and patted the dust off her clothes, saying, "Don't get other people's clothes dirty."
"It's nothing." Liu Nian shook her head and smiled gently at Li Cuihua.
Li Cuihua also grinned and chuckled.
"Why would you let me work in your factory?" Li Dongbo was surprised and delighted. He knew that he had done something particularly dishonest a few days ago, and his character was already questionable. Under such circumstances, any smart person would avoid him.
But Liu Nian offered help in his time of need, and Li Dongbo's heart trembled slightly; it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.
Liu Nian didn't say anything. She knew Li Dongbo probably understood. Finally, she said calmly, "You should focus on your work."
She didn't want to say any high-sounding things like not to betray her trust. She wasn't a benevolent savior; she simply felt that Li Dongbo was someone she could rely on.
Li Cuihua was stunned, but he remained devoted to her, saving the best food for her and making sure she wasn't cold or hungry. He did everything he could to be good to this woman.
This was the most crucial point that moved Liu Nian.
Li Dongbo was invited to work by Liu Nian, a decision that drew criticism from many.
Especially Liu Chuanfang, who disappeared for a while after Xiuxiu's accident. Now, probably seeing that Xiuxiu has come out of the shadow and found a partner, she has started to visit her family again.
Liu Dafeng and Liu Dayong only had this one sister, so naturally they couldn't say anything.
Upon hearing that Liu Nian wanted Li Dongbo to patrol and watch the warehouse at her factory, she looked at Liu Nian in confusion, "Don't you know how he made things difficult for your father and your brother back then? And you, on the other hand, are eager to arrange work for him."
“People will say you’re a traitor if you do this!” she said, taking out the little clothes she had made for the triplets and saying, “I’ll let the kids try them on later.”
She made all the clothes herself; they were pure cotton and embroidered with little flowers, grass, and butterflies—they were very pretty.
Her aunt is shrewd and self-serving, but she has all the habits of a petty bourgeois. Sometimes she loses her head over small favors and benefits, which is to put it bluntly, she's stupid.
She wasn't a particularly evil person, and she always remembered her family, so her own interests couldn't be affected. Liu Nian treated her like an ordinary relative, mainly out of respect for Liu Dafa.
Liu Nian then dressed the triplets in the same outfits, making the three babies even cuter.
While teasing the child, Liu Chuanfang said, "Think carefully. If something is lost from your factory, you'll be crying in the end."
“My sister knows what she’s doing. She has her reasons for doing this,” Zhang Suzhen said, trying to smooth things over for Li Nian. “Li Dongbo had a good reputation before. Everyone makes mistakes. We can’t condemn someone outright.”
“Exactly, it’s a personal matter, why are you meddling in this?” Liu Hua reached out to hug Sanbao. She had no problem with Liu Chuanfang before, but after Xiuxiu’s incident, she harbored resentment towards her sister-in-law, always feeling that she was too snobbish.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was a little unhappy, Liu Chuanfang quickly gave an embarrassed smile, "I was just worrying for no reason, wasn't I? I just want my niece to have a good life and for everything to go smoothly for her."
But then Liu Chuanfang changed the subject immediately, her tone shifting, "Your brother, my eldest son, doesn't have any good jobs in his production brigade, just farm work. Do you see if there are any positions left in your factory? Could you arrange one for him too?"
"Mainly because he's reached the age to find a partner, and I was thinking that there are many female workers in your factory, with plenty of unmarried young women." Liu Chuanfang looked at Liu Nian with a hint of flattery and said, "Could you arrange something for him?"
I knew she must have something to ask of her when she went back to her parents' home this time, otherwise why would she have made clothes for the triplets?
