Wan Yindi's discontent had been brewing for a long time; ever since she married into the Yu family, she had never had a single day of peace.
son.
It's good that her husband is honest and kind, but the price is gradually increasing. In the past, she suffered some losses, but now the children are suffering losses as well.
Grandma Fang was dumbfounded when she heard these words. She never expected that her second daughter-in-law, who always had the desire to steal but not the courage, would dare to challenge her.
She was shouting.
"What are you doing?! You dare hit your man?! Do you think you're something special?!"
"As long as I'm alive, I'm in charge of this money. You'd better outlast me if you dare!"
"One or two of them, if I don't get angry, do you think I'm too old to yell at them anymore?!"
First it was Shen Qianqian, then her granddaughter, and now this daughter-in-law. They're all eager to be scolded!
Seeing this, Feng Xiang quickly got up to help Old Mrs. Fang, patting her back lightly with one hand, showing utmost filial piety. She even helped Old Mrs. Fang "educate" her sister-in-law: "I'm not trying to criticize you, sister-in-law, but Mom is old and in poor health, and you keep making her angry. Whether that factory thing will work out or not is another matter. Is something that hasn't even happened worth getting so angry about?"
Seeing that his mother was truly angry, Yu Jianhai stood up, his face stern, and pressed his wife down: "Sister-in-law is right, these are all baseless rumors. Why are you so anxious? Talk to Mom properly!"
Seeing that the matter had escalated, Wan Yindi was already in an awkward position and wanted to ease the tension, but her husband Yu Jianhai's words angered her again.
She shook off his hand, stood up with red eyes, and questioned Yu Jianhai.
"When have I ever not spoken to her properly? Does she even see me? I've been married into your family for so many years, bearing children and doing all the hard and tiring work. Do your parents even treat me like a human being?"
"In the old society, you could at least get a couple of coins for working for a landlord. Your Yu family is even worse off than a landlord's family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Yindi threw down his chopsticks and ran away.
The culprit, Old Mrs. Fang, sat down again, her cloudy eyes fixed on her second son: "Sit down! Don't go looking for her. Women shouldn't be spoiled. Shouting at her mother-in-law, yelling at her husband—people like her should have been divorced in the past!"
Feng Xiang nodded repeatedly, looking just like a lackey.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jianhai hesitated, unsure whether to go or not.
Yu Linyun stared at her father for a moment, then ate all the rice in her bowl and left. Yu Linyang was slow to react, but he knew the situation was bad. He didn't eat the last few grains of rice and chased after his sister. He left too.
But Feng Xiang couldn't resist saying, "Oh dear, now I can finally eat properly, Mom, come and have some meat."
Shen Qianqian reached out and used her chopsticks to accurately pick up the three remaining pieces of meat in the bowl, pulling them all into her own bowl, which made Feng Xiang glare angrily.
"Shen Qianqian, what's wrong with you? You're even fighting with an old person for food!"
Shen Qianqian ate the meat and the last mouthful of rice in her bowl, stuffed them into her mouth, chewed and swallowed, before replying, "Me, competing with an old person for food? Aunt, how can you slander someone like that? Where is the old person? This is clearly a thousand-year-old zombie!"
"You two are a match made in heaven! What era are we living in? Women hold up half the sky, men and women are equal. She didn't marry into your family to be treated like a servant. Those old ways don't work anymore. People who don't know any better would think you're descendants of some feudal remnants!"
"This kind of rubbish comes out in one set after another, it's hilarious, ugh."
"And my second uncle and his wife are husband and wife. They're going to spend their whole lives together. If you ruin their good relationship because of your words, I don't know where you'll find another wife like that. This dilapidated house is even delaying my third uncle from finding a wife. Grandma, you need to really think about this."
After expressing her emotions, Shen Qianqian waved and left.
The old lady and the old man behind them were dumbfounded.
Yu Jianhai seemed to have been awakened, and he stopped eating and went back to his room to coax his wife.
No one knows how Yu Jianhai coaxed Wan Yindi, but the next day Wan Yindi acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to do what she was supposed to do, and Old Lady Fang was still as sharp-tongued as ever, and life went on as usual.
Shen Qianqian stopped paying attention to it.
This has nothing to do with her. People have to be strong themselves, otherwise it's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
The factory is basically ready; all that's left is to recruit workers.
Yang Wang is truly capable, eloquent, and quick-witted—a natural social butterfly. Through his connections, they purchased a batch of thirty secondhand sewing machines, costing a considerable sum. Now, these sewing machines are neatly arranged in the factory, giving it a real factory feel.
Shen Qianqian asked him a few more times if he wanted to work there. Yang Wang went from resolutely refusing at the beginning to being a little hesitant now. He didn't say anything more, only that he could ask him for help if needed in the future.
Shen Qianqian could tell that the other party was very interested in the job, but had not yet made up their mind to leave the state-run restaurant to work in a private factory with an uncertain future.
However, Shen Qianqian would not let go of talented people, especially those who had already demonstrated their abilities. Since the other party was interested in the work, it proved that the matter was half successful. The other half could be made up with money!
Shen Qianqian offered fifty yuan per month, successfully manipulating the other party and keeping them there.
As for Yang Wang's job at the state-run restaurant, he originally intended to transfer it directly to Yu Linxiu, since the supply and marketing cooperative was not short of positions and she had been working there for several years but was still a temporary worker.
It would be better to work as a waiter in a state-run restaurant; that would be more stable.
However, Yu Linxiu did not agree. After all, she and Yang Wang were not yet officially engaged, and if she were to take the position, outsiders might say something.
Shen Qianqian asked Yu Linxiu to go directly to the factory, but Yu Linxiu still refused.
Shen Qianqian pondered that her older cousin didn't seem like the type to be coy. Her rejection of two good jobs meant she probably had other ideas.
The interviews have been going on for three days, and today is the third day.
There were two long queues outside the factory, with at least two or three hundred people.
The interview had strict requirements; it wasn't just about meeting the age requirement, as Grandma Fang had claimed.
OK.
For example, people who know how to use a sewing machine can go directly to the second side. Otherwise, they have to sew something on the spot to test their hand dexterity, check their eyesight, and answer a short quiz!
Most of the interviewees were members of the two communes and their subordinate brigades. They were good at sewing, which was an advantage. The disadvantage was that they didn't have many opportunities to actually use a sewing machine, so they tended to huddle together and chat.
They're looking for people to sit and work next to sewing machines. If the workers are busy talking and sew the backpacks incorrectly, wouldn't that waste time?
After this one scan, more than half of them were gone.
The interviews ended in the afternoon.
Fifty people advanced to the second round of interviews after three days of interviews.
This number is quite large. Shen Qianqian asked Zhou Cai and Yang Wang to keep an eye out and record the names of those who were eliminated in the second round, so that they could use them when the factory expands its recruitment later.
