Chen Hongping, formerly known as Hu Guihua, felt so excited that her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Okay, then I'll call them tomorrow and ask them to come back to school."
"Why do we have to beat them tomorrow? It's not even eight o'clock yet. Let's beat them now and ask them to come back." Chen Xiaoying said firmly: "Girls who are only 18 years old and have no education, what kind of work can they do outside? Isn't it all hard work? Let them come back one day earlier, so that they can suffer one day less."
Chen Hongping felt that what her mother said made sense, and told her the phone number that she knew by heart.
This is the only telephone in the factory dormitory building where the girls live. If anyone has any problems, they will call this number. The auntie who is guarding the door will shout downstairs, asking if it is someone's phone call, and they will run down to answer the call.
Sisters Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan had just washed their faces and were chatting with their co-workers in the simple dormitory when they suddenly heard the dormitory manager calling them to answer the phone. They were not surprised.
The only people who care about them and can call them, besides their biological mother Hu Guihua, is the blind grandmother. Their biological mother would care about whether they are tired from work, and would tell them to take a rest if they are tired and not to hurt their bodies. If they cannot do it, they can go back to farming. Although it is hard and tiring, they don't have to be bullied.
Chen Hongping, also known as Hu Guihua, would rather her daughters not earn much money than to fear that they would be cheated or bullied in the factory.
As for Qian Liuni, she always complained about her family's poverty, her arm pain, leg pain, back pain, and brain pain, and her stupid uncle Hu Xiaofu had headaches, diarrhea, couldn't sleep well, wanted to eat meat, etc. In short, she had one thing to say: send me some more money.
Sister Hu Xiaoyan said angrily: "I hope it's Mom calling, not that old woman."
Because she hated her greedy grandma Qian Liuni, Hu Xiaoyan didn't even want to call her grandma when she was outside.
"Let's answer the phone first and see what's going on." Hu Xiaoying is only one hour older than Hu Xiaoyan, but much more stable than her sister.
After arriving at the dormitory manager's window, Hu Xiaoying answered the phone. When she heard clearly what was said on the other end, she was completely stunned.
"Mom, what did you say?"
Her eyes widened in shock.
Hu Xiaoyan hurriedly asked: "Sister, sister, what did Mom say?" She anxiously put her ear to the receiver, and she also heard what her mother said on the other end.
Chen Hongping said happily on the other end of the phone: "Pack your things and come back tomorrow. Your grandmother said she will support your schooling."
Hu Xiaoying was a little confused, and Hu Xiaoyan was also stunned.
The twin sisters looked at each other for a long time before Hu Xiaoying said to the person on the phone, "Mom, what's the meaning of 'great grandma'? Why don't we understand?"
After Chen Hongping told the other end of the phone what had happened to her, the two sisters felt like they were watching a movie.
After hanging up the phone, Hu Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel anxious: "Sister, are we going back? In half a month, the salary for last month will be paid."
Their factory pays last month's salary on the 25th of every month, which is equivalent to holding back a month's salary. If you leave now, you will not be paid for last month or this month, which means you will lose more than a month.
Hu Xiaoying was also a little reluctant.
However, her mother was so happy on the phone. She said that her grandmother's family ran a small restaurant and was willing to support her two granddaughters in school. She is no longer called Hu Guihua, she took her grandmother's surname. Her original name was Hongping, but now she is Chen Hongping.
She has cut off all ties with the people in Hujiazhuang.
These messages shocked her so much that she was speechless: "I don't know if my mother was deceived by someone."
The two sisters have been working outside for more than a year. During this time, they have encountered various things. For example, the landlord of the house they rented had bad intentions towards them. For example, their bags were snatched away when they were walking on the street. For example, when they were serving dishes in a restaurant, the boss deducted a lot of wages. They quit their jobs, but the boss still refused to pay them.
For example, if they want to find a job with some technical skills and work as an apprentice, the boss may ask them to pay a deposit of several dozen yuan first, and then provide them with no food or accommodation, and will not pay them until three months later, etc.
In particular, at the beginning, they were almost tricked into a hair salon by an aunt who looked very kind. Fortunately, when they were sitting there waiting for the boss to come, they found that the women were wearing revealing clothes and the men who came were touching them inappropriately. Only then did they realize something was wrong and ran away quickly.
After going through so much, the two people gradually became more prudent.
What happened to their mother was like a pie in the sky. She was given a house, their household registration was moved, and they could go to school. But their mother was so poor, and she had two sick burdens behind her. What did the people who cheated her want?
As they walked up the stairs, Hu Xiaoying whispered to Hu Xiaoyan, "Hasn't that yellow-haired guy been pestering us recently? He has found a group of hooligans to be his boss. We might as well take this opportunity to go home."
Hu Xiaoyan was reluctant to spend this month's salary, but her sister told her to go home.
She had been away for more than a year and had not been home for the New Year. She missed her mother and said, "Okay, let's go home."
The two sisters became more cautious, and the next day, they ran away without moving anything in the dormitory.
I ran to the train station and bought a ticket, then called the aunt in the dormitory to tell her that they quit.
Only after getting on the train did they breathe a sigh of relief.
The boss was stingy, and they were afraid that they would not be able to leave. If they got wind of it, the yellow-haired guy would lead a group of thugs to block them.
The two were underage and didn't have ID cards. Luckily, the female workers who had ID cards were asked to hand in their ID cards on the first day they entered the factory. "You don't want to work? Then I'll hold your ID card and won't let you leave."
When the two sisters were rushing back by train.
Chen Xiaoying brought her daughter Chen Hongping to look at several houses under her name. There is no purchase restriction at present, and Chen Xiaoying has a total of eleven houses under her name.
Her original intention was to prepare a house for each of her grandchildren while she still had money and housing prices were still cheap, and give them the houses when they grew up.
However, she never told her children about this, for fear that they would stop working after knowing it. Her children were all supported by her, an old mother, and they took it for granted that she was rich.
When Chen Xiaoying was taking Chen Hongping around to look at houses, Li Hongli was furious because she knew that Li Hongxia was totally ignoring her.
Li Yutong was her niece, so there was no need for her to tell her. So she ran to her fourth brother Li Honggang's house to complain.
"Fourth brother, tell me, what does mom mean? I asked her to give me a house, but she refused to give any reason. Until now, the house I live in is still in her name, and I'm just staying there borrowing money." Li Hongli felt uncomfortable when she mentioned this.
She angrily spoke of Chen Hongping: "But what about Chen Hongping? Who is she? Has she ever been filial to my mother for a single day? Forty-eight years have passed, and she has not paid anything, but she just came here and got a house for free. How can she be so shameless!"
