As the village woman spoke, she looked at Zhang Ruhua with a scrutinizing look.
"Could it be that your Wang family has completely offended the Yun family? That's why Secretary Yun and Wang Yongjin didn't inform your Wang family about this recruitment meeting? I warned you before that the Yun family's son is very powerful. Don't let Lanhua break off the engagement with the Yun family. Even if Lanhua doesn't like the Yun family's son, don't hurt the relationship between the two families after breaking off the engagement. We are all from the same village. We will see each other every day and we will have to help each other in the future."
"I don't know, it's... it's because I went to the fields to cut grass for the pigs."
Zhang Ruhua puffed out her chest and retorted.
"They must have gone to my house to inform him. Xiaojun's mother is at home. She must know about this."
Zhang Ruhua puffed out her chest and retorted.
"Lanhua's mother, then you should go back and ask your daughter-in-law and son to sign up. They are of the right age and can sign up."
The village woman did not care about Zhang Ruhua's attitude and even reminded her enthusiastically.
"I heard the monthly salary is 40 to 50 yuan. Even during holidays like Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day and New Year's Day, overtime is counted and paid. There's also a bonus at the end of the year. It's hard to find a job with such good benefits."
"Wang Yongjin's wife has recently handed over all the tasks that village cadres should do to Wang Yongjin."
As the village woman spoke, she thought of Xu Yaqing.
"She must have tasted the sweetness of working in the county town, so she gave the job of village cadre to her own man."
Zhang Ruhua listened and was so moved that her eyes lit up.
Forty or fifty yuan a month, that's several hundred yuan a year, plus overtime pay on holidays and bonuses at the end of the year, it's a considerable income.
Such a good thing, Xiaojun’s parents must sign up.
"I haven't had lunch yet. I'm going back first."
Zhang Ruhua said something to the woman, turned around with a basket of pig feed on her back, and walked back quickly.
The woman looked at her quickly leaving back, a hint of shock in her eyes.
Lanhua's mother is really strong despite her old age. She can still run so fast even with a full basket of pig grass on her back.
Zhang Ruhua rushed back home and walked into the kitchen, only to find that the stove was cold and the pots were empty.
There was also heavy snoring coming from the room next to the kitchen.
Hearing the snoring, Zhang Ruhua was immediately furious. She threw the basket of pig feed on the kitchen floor, strode out of the kitchen and knocked on the door next door.
In the room, Wang Jiashun was lying on the bed with his legs spread out, snoring like thunder.
Chen Dongxiang was sitting on a chair in front of the bed, sewing shoe soles.
My father-in-law Wang Chunsheng took on the job of renovating the roof and went out to work. My sister-in-law Wang Lanhua went to the town to buy things today. Xiaojun went to school. There were only three people at home, and she was too lazy to cook.
At ten o'clock, I soaked the leftovers from last night in boiling water, scooped out a bowl of it, and then sat here mending shoe soles.
"It's already past noon, the sun is shining on your buttocks, but you're still sleeping. Are you all reincarnated pigs?"
Zhang Ruhua raised her fist and knocked on the door with such force that it seemed as if she was going to tear it down.
Chen Dongxiang, who was sewing shoe soles, was startled by her thunderous roar and almost got pricked by a needle in her hand.
Chen Dongxiang frowned, put down the half-finished Thousand-Layer Sole, and reluctantly got up to open the door.
Zhang Ruhua had been cutting grass for pigs for the whole morning and was thirsty and hungry. When she came back, she saw the cold stove and the empty pot, and her daughter-in-law hiding in the house. She was furious.
Chen Dongxiang opened the door and was immediately given a cold stare by her.
Zhang Ruhua glared at Chen Dongxiang, ready to curse: "Chen Dongxiang, you're such a jerk! Not only did you stay home from work all morning, but you didn't even bother to cook lunch. What bad luck has our Wang family gotten into to marrying a lazy woman like you?"
"Mom, I am lazy, but your son is lazier than me."
Zhang Ruhua often scolded Chen Dongxiang like this. Chen Dongxiang was used to it and didn't take her words to heart at all. She even pointed at Wang Jiashun who was lying on the bed and snoring.
"Mom, you should take care of your son first. If your son is diligent, I will be diligent too."
"you......"
Zhang Ruhua looked past Chen Dongxiang and towards the bed inside, and was suddenly speechless.
Thinking that she now had more important things to ask the young couple, Zhang Ruhua took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Why didn't you cook lunch?"
Chen Dongxiang: "Jiashun and I have already eaten."
When Zhang Ruhua heard what Chen Dongxiang said, the anger that had just subsided in her heart began to rise again.
These two heartless people cooked and ate it at home, and didn't even leave any for her as their mother.
"What did you and Jiashun have for lunch today?"
Zhang Ruhua asked with a stern face.
Chen Dongxiang: "Boil the rice in boiling water. Didn't we have leftover rice from last night?"
Zhang Ruhua's inverted triangle eyes widened even further: "What?"
Chen Dongxiang: "Mom, don't you always say that we don't have much oil at home and ask me to save oil? You don't need to add a drop of oil to boil water to make rice. There is still leftover rice in the cupboard. Mom, you must be hungry. Go make a bowl of rice and eat it."
Zhang Ruhua felt that she was deeply ridiculed by her daughter-in-law, but she did often say things about saving oil, and she couldn't find any words to retaliate.
"Mom...I'm not hungry."
Zhang Ruhua licked her dry lips.
"Dongxiang, Mom wants to ask you something first."
Chen Dongxiang leaned against the door frame and responded impatiently: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Zhang Ruhua: "Did you and Jiashun know about the job fair at the village office at 2 o'clock this afternoon? I heard that the kid from the old Yun family is partnering with Lu Feng to open a factory in town. They're looking to hire more than ten people. The salary is 40 to 50 yuan per month. Working during the Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, and Dragon Boat Festival is considered overtime, and there's a bonus at the end of the year."
Chen Dongxiang, who originally looked impatient, immediately stood up as energetic as a tree being watered when she heard such good news.
"Jiashun and I don't know, Mom, who told you this?"
Zhang Ruhua: "Yun Jianhua and Xu Yaqing's husband have been going door to door to spread the news. Everyone in the village has gone to the village office. Didn't Xu Yaqing's husband and Yun Jianhua come to our house to inform us? Or were you and Jiashun sleeping like dead pigs in the house and didn't hear anyone knocking on the door?"
Chen Dongxiang: "I got up at 7 o'clock and made breakfast for Xiaojun. Then I sat in the house mending shoes and didn't hear anyone knocking on the door."
Zhang Ruhua gritted her teeth.
"That's because Yun Jianhua and Xu Yaqing didn't come to inform our family. Damn it."
Chen Dongxiang: "Could it be that our family has offended the old Yun family, and the old Yun family members did not allow Yun Jianhua and Wang Yongjin to inform our family?"
Zhang Ruhua frowned, thought for a moment, then raised her head and instructed Chen Dongxiang.
"Go wake Jiashun up and go to the village office to register now. We haven't done anything illegal, so why aren't we allowed to register?"
