Chapter 37 I won’t accept your mulberry leaves
After the family finished their meal, Xie Dongmei boiled a pot of hot water. Ruan Fu took a nice bath and then returned to the house which had already been cleaned.
The kang was covered with warm new straw, and a thick blanket of cotton quilt was specially added. It smelled like sunshine and was very warm.
Ever since leaving the Ruan family, Ruan Fu has been feeling uneasy. The experiences of her previous life haunted her like a nightmare, and she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
After finally arriving at a soothing environment, I fell into a deep sleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.
The next morning, Ruan Fu woke up to the smell of food.
The yard was swept clean. Xie Dongmei was busy in the kitchen, and hot millet porridge was boiling in the pot.
When she turned around and saw Ruan Fu, she immediately smiled.
"Fuzi, get up. Hurry up and wash up and get ready for dinner."
Ruan Fu was a little dazed. Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had never had a day where she could eat as soon as she opened her eyes.
After washing up, she sat down in front of the stove and added some firewood.
Xie Dongmei picked up the spatula and stirred it until the millet porridge was cooked to the right consistency. She then brought out a few hot corn buns.
"Grandma, where's my uncle?"
Ruan Fu looked around and found that there were only the two of them in the room, with no sign of her uncle Chen Qiang.
Xie Dongmei set the table and said with a chuckle, "Your uncle went out to work early this morning. I wanted to wake you up, but then I thought you must be exhausted lately and you should get some sleep."
His words showed concern.
Ruan Fu drank a bowl of hot millet porridge with steamed bread, and immediately felt full of strength.
Xie Dongmei's face was full of heartache. "Fuzi, when I look at you, it's like seeing your mother when she was young. I always wanted you to live here, but the Ruan family refused to agree. I thought I would never see you again in this life. I didn't expect that I could cook for you with my own hands."
As he spoke, his eyes started to turn red again.
Ruan Fu felt a pang of sadness, realizing that someone also felt sorry for her.
"Grandma, that's all in the past. I will always be with you in the future. When I get into college and make some money, we can have a happy family life."
Xie Dongmei nodded repeatedly, looking very satisfied.
Fuzi has grown up and become successful!
College students are the golden cake these days. If you really pass the exam, you will have almost nothing to worry about for the rest of your life!
After dinner, Ruan Fulisuo cleaned up the dishes and then rode his bike out.
Now she lives in the suburbs near the county town, which is much shorter. It only takes 20 minutes to get to the textile factory.
Before I even got close to the door, I heard someone arguing up ahead.
"Yesterday I clearly saw your factory collecting mulberry leaves, but today you said you won't be accepting them anymore. What's going on? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
The voice sounds somewhat familiar.
Ruan Fu moved closer and found that the other person was actually Ruan Lanxiang.
Next to it was a tractor with several baskets of mulberry leaves on it, all piled at the entrance of the textile factory.
The security guard was an old man who was used to seeing people like this making trouble, so he naturally didn't take her seriously.
"If I say I won't accept it, then I won't accept it. Let's get out of here. This is a knitting factory. Do you think this is your village, where anyone can come in and out as they please?"
Ruan Lanxiang was both angry and annoyed by what he said. She had worked so hard for a long time but was not even allowed to enter the textile factory.
But she had always been thick-skinned and certainly wouldn't back down because of such a rejection. She just bulged her eyes and shouted, "You're just bullying me because I'm from the countryside! Call your leader out! I want to know why you won't let me in."
She spoke so loudly that people around her looked over there.
The old man hated her so much, "Why are you yelling? Can you see the leader just because you want to?"
The two were arguing fiercely when Wu Jianping arrived at work. He frowned and said, "Old Zhao, why are you arguing here at the gate? It's not a good influence."
Gatekeeper Lao Zhao was criticized and felt very aggrieved. "Purchasing Wu, this woman didn't even have a letter of introduction, yet she insisted on breaking into the factory. I didn't dare let her in, and who knew she would throw a tantrum right there and then?"
Wu Jianping frowned and looked at Ruan Lanxiang with eyes full of contempt and disdain.
A textile factory is not a vegetable market where anyone can enter and exit.
It's a legitimate state-owned enterprise. How many people are trying to get in? This woman is just trying to take advantage of others and she wants to work in a textile factory? She's dreaming!
"Old Zhao, the factory has regulations. Non-factory personnel are not allowed to enter. Those who dare to enter should be criticized and educated first. If that doesn't work, they should be sent to the police station. Don't treat them differently just because they are women."
Ruan Lanxiang was dumbfounded. How could these people do this? Yesterday, she saw Ruan Fu going in and out easily, so they said she had to be sent to the police station just because she wanted to go in?
She gritted her teeth and decided that even if she was not allowed to enter, she would not allow Ruan Fu to enter either!
"You said people who aren't factory workers aren't allowed in. Then why did a country girl ride in yesterday with two baskets of mulberry leaves? She's clearly not from the factory either. You're discriminating!"
Wu Jianping suddenly realized that the other party was talking about Ruan Fu. He frowned and interrupted the other party's shouting.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ruan Lanxiang was very proud, "I saw it with my own eyes, how can you be talking nonsense!"
Wu Jianping felt that the other party was really ungrateful, and he said coldly, "They have a cooperation with the knitting factory, how can it be the same as you!"
Ruan Lanxiang rolled her eyes and laughed. "She's my niece, don't I know what kind of person she is? She's still cooperating, bah! Maybe she's hooking up with the boss and using the backdoor!"
Wu Jianping's face was full of contempt. This woman must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. She is really crazy!
Even if Ruan Fu was truly wrong, would her family come and cause trouble? They were clearly enemies!
He was too lazy to listen to the other party's nonsense. "Old Zhao, keep a close eye on it. Don't let any strangers in."
He slammed down the words and left.
Now the security guard, Lao Zhao, was even more rude to Ruan Lanxiang. He picked up the stick next to him and started to chase her away.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or I'll take you to the police station!"
Ruan Lanxiang lost her balance and fell to the ground. She grimaced in pain and became even more unwilling to give in.
Ruan Fu originally didn't want to cause trouble and wanted to wait until the people in front finished arguing, but her aunt was not an easy person to deal with and insisted on staying at the door and refused to leave.
Seeing that time was running out, she couldn't delay any longer and simply rode her bike forward.
"Uncle."
The guard knew her and greeted her, "Hey girl, you're here."
Ruan Fu was let in immediately.
When Ruan Lanxiang saw this, jealousy was about to overflow from her eyes. This damn girl is so capable!
"Didn't you just say that the factory doesn't accept mulberry leaves? Why was she allowed in?"
She pointed at Ruan Fu's back and refused to give in, insisting on getting an explanation today!
The security guard sneered, as if mocking her arrogance.
"They had already agreed to the cooperation a long time ago. The boss had already said that she would send it this month. If you have the ability, you can also convince the boss to give in!"
