"Director Yu, do you have a boyfriend? With your excellent qualities, you deserve a partner with equally excellent qualities."
"Well, it's like this: I have a nephew, also a high school graduate, and he's incredibly handsome."
"My nephew has a ton of good qualities, so naturally his standards are a bit high, which is why he hasn't settled down yet. But I think that's understandable; outstanding people naturally deserve outstanding people. Director Yu, how about I arrange for you two to meet sometime?"
This was the first time Yu Linxiu had encountered someone who proposed marriage on the street. She was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved her hand.
hand.
"No need, no need, Aunt Wang, I'm not in a hurry right now."
It's not appropriate for her and Yang Wang to go public with their relationship at this time. Her priority now is work and study. Since Qianqian has entrusted her with such an important task as managing the factory, she must work hard. Nothing that could affect her work can happen to her.
Aunt Wang clicked her tongue and said in a tone of someone who'd been through it all, "You can date first if you're not in a rush. This is a new society now, people don't gossip like that anymore. If you have a partner, you can work with peace of mind later."
Yu Linxiu refused: "No rush, no rush. The main thing now is to manage the factory well."
The child's matter is the most important, Auntie. You'd better hurry to the cafeteria, or there won't be any meat left.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang, who had originally intended to say a few more words, turned around and saw that there was no one behind her; they had all walked ahead. She immediately lost all interest in talking, slapped her thigh, and hurriedly chased after them.
Yu Linxiu breathed a sigh of relief and went to another small room, where her assistant Jiang Jiang had already prepared her meal and was waiting for her.
Jiang Jiang also graduated from high school. She is two years younger than Yu Linxiu. She has a lively and cheerful personality and is meticulous and thoughtful in her work.
Jiang Jiang was hired as a management trainee on the recruitment day, and after a month of evaluation, she was successfully retained.
Besides her, there were two men and two women. The two men, Yang Zhuo and Zhang Tai, accompanied Yang Wang to Shanghai. The two women, Liu Jiangran and Tong Yan, were in charge of the front-end factory and the production team, respectively.
Management staff have specific educational requirements, and their salaries are higher than those of ordinary workers in the production team.
high.
Jiang Jiang was personally chosen by Shen Qianqian to be by Yu Linxiu's side, supposedly to complement her, so Yu Linxiu looked at her like she was her own younger sister.
"Don't wait for me, eat first if you're hungry."
Yu Linxiu opened the aluminum lunchbox. A rich aroma of food wafted out.
The Dongxing Factory offered good benefits. They worked seven hours a day and could leave after get off work. Lunch was provided, consisting of one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, as well as a regular egg drop soup.
Jiang Jiang sat down opposite Lin Xiu, her thick, heroic eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"Sister Lin Xiu, why were you talking to that Wang Ru for so long? Is she trying to introduce you to some nephew again? Cough cough, don't listen to her bragging. Wang Ru's nephew was expelled from No. 2 Middle School after less than six months. I heard..."
Jiang Jiang suddenly leaned closer and whispered to Lin Xiu, "I heard he got a female student pregnant and didn't intend to take responsibility, so he drove her to jump into the river! In the end, they couldn't save her!"
"The most, most, most important thing, is this: Wang Ru even said it wasn't her nephew's fault, until..."
"They say the girl seduced her nephew, what a shameless thing to do!" ("Sister Lin Xiu, don't believe her!")
Yu Linxiu even slowed down her eating speed, and the warm and cheerful face of Aunt Wang in her mind became repulsive.
She assured Jiang Jiang, "Don't worry, I have a boyfriend. Even if I didn't, I wouldn't be interested in someone like that."
Jiang Jiang exclaimed in surprise, her big eyes sparkling with curiosity, but she was sensible and didn't ask any further questions.
...
From the deep, dark alley, several screams echoed, then the broken sounds seemed muffled, lost in their clarity. But what was even more chilling was that they were now etched into the air.
Hu Guihua was cracking sunflower seeds. She knocked on the door.
"Alright, alright, stop hitting her! If you keep going, she won't be able to show her face in public tomorrow. These past few days, that old woman next door has been subtly asking me, 'Hey, did your daughter-in-law get beaten up?' She almost ruined my reputation!"
After hearing his mother's words, Zeng He's sinister gaze fell on the woman curled up in a ball below again, and he kicked her hard.
"ah!"
"You shameless woman, how dare you call me that! Who gave you the right to go out like that? Are you trying to ruin the Zeng family's reputation?! It's one thing to be unable to have a child, but to have so many ulterior motives!"
Zeng He kicked him a few more times, and Hu Guihua was satisfied. She went up and pulled her son away herself.
"Alright, alright, there's nothing wrong with seeing Hua. I asked her to buy some things that day, and she probably got caught by accident. She's my only daughter-in-law, so you can't hurt her. Come on, let's go eat. Mom made meat for you today, it smells delicious."
The door to the hut was half open. After the noise subsided, Yu Jianhua slowly moved her body. She didn't dare to make a sound and carefully moved to sit against the wall, enduring the pain.
The tears were uncontrollable, flowing more and more.
Why did she become like this? Why is Zeng He like a completely different person?
Yu Jianhua asked herself this question in her heart, just like before, asking herself this unanswered question again and again.
The problem of the case
But this time, a voice entered her mind.
"...They're hiring there...If you know how to use a sewing machine...you might be able to stay. Auntie, why don't you give it a try?"
Can we really give it a try?
Yu Jianhua dared not try it, but she was truly afraid of such a life.
Two years ago, Zeng He suddenly lost her job at the machinery factory. Under the constant persuasion and urging of her mother-in-law, she couldn't withstand the pressure and gave up her work position to Zeng He.
But that one decision completely changed her life, and she felt as if she had entered hell.
The husband changed; he became less gentle and more violent. The mother-in-law also changed; she became wicked and cunning.
Once the pain subsided, Yu Jianhua stood up, leaning against the wall.
She had to go and clear the dishes for them, otherwise she would get another beating.
At the same time, Shen Qianqian told her homeroom teacher that she wanted to skip a grade.
The homeroom teacher, Xu Guo, was shocked that she had such thoughts.
“Chen Qianqian, I heard from other teachers that you often read books for older students during class. Logically speaking, it’s wrong for you to be daydreaming like this, but when the teacher calls on you to answer questions, you answer correctly, so the teacher doesn’t force you to…influence your hobbies.”
"But skipping a grade isn't something you can do by reading a few books from higher grades. Your teacher acknowledges that you're very smart, but even the smartest person has to be down-to-earth."
"The teacher does not agree with your request."
Shen Qianqian: "Teacher, is there really no room for a yes at all?" Xu Guo nodded seriously.
Shen Qianqian pondered for a moment, then asked earnestly, "I understand, teacher. May I ask, what is the procedure for withdrawing from school?"
