"Why not? It's the men's business if they have higher military ranks. Can't we women fight for our own reputation? In this military compound, when it comes to dexterity, if you, Sister Wang, say you're second, no one dares to rank first, who else would object?"
Besides, I have observed it during these days since moving in. Even among the officers with high ranks, few are skilled in both civil and military affairs. They are all rough and uncouth.
These rough-looking military wives basically came from their hometowns in the countryside. The difference in status between the couples is huge, making it difficult for them to get along well. The wives of officers with high military ranks may not have an easy time at home either.
The so-called economic base determines the superstructure. Women have no say in front of men. In the final analysis, it is because they don’t make money. If we have money in our own pockets, why would we still care about men’s faces?
Now is a new society. Men are making money outside, and we women can’t just stay at home. We must also actively realize our self-worth.
This way we won't have to rely on men all day long and cautiously read their expressions. When we stand up straight, if we are not happy with the marriage life, we can just get a divorce.
If a man is tired of us and wants a divorce, then we can just turn around and tell them to get out of here. We have money and a way out, so what are we afraid of?
Ren Rongzheng spoke passionately, and Wang Yuxia was a little dumbfounded. She took a long time to react, then nodded: "Sister Rongzheng, what you said seems to make sense."
"That seems to make sense, it makes perfect sense. We're in a new society now. In a dozen years, it'll be the 21st century. We're still young, so why not strive now? When will we? Do we have to stay home all our lives washing feet and cooking for men?"
"That's right, that's right!"
Wang Yuxia was convinced by her, but when she looked at the recruitment notice again, she felt sorry for the money.
"But your salary is too high. The highest salary for female workers in state-owned cotton mills is only 50 yuan. And you hired ten people at once. The apprenticeship period will be 300 yuan a month..."
"I had already calculated this. As long as I sold well, I wouldn't lose money. At first, I had so little goods that I could only set up a street stall. Later, as I had more workers and more goods, I went to the bank for a loan.
Just open a factory and grow it step by step. How can you not invest when you first start a business? If you don't spend this little money, you won't be able to get more money, right? "
"If it weren't for your sister-in-law's bad mouth, what if I were to lose..."
"If I lose, I'll admit it. That means I'm not cut out for business. I tried and lost, so there's nothing much to say, but I have to try."
"Okay, I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard this. Regardless of whether it works or not, hearing you say this makes me feel good, and it gives me a lot of motivation!"
"That's right, Mrs. Wang. Keep up your enthusiasm. Starting a business requires passion. If you agree, I'll print a few more copies of this recruitment notice and post them in our military compound."
"good."
Wang Yuxia was the partner chosen by Ren Rongzheng himself. She provided the money and the technology, and the two of them had similar personalities, so they got along very well.
Ren Rongzheng printed a few more copies and pasted them on the wall of the military compound. The wives of the soldiers in the compound were all like intelligence agents at the village entrance, and the news soon spread throughout the compound.
"Thirty dollars a month during the apprenticeship? Fifty dollars a month after becoming a regular employee, plus commission. That's a lot of money."
Just as Ren Rongzheng said, although they are all wives of military officers, they don't have much money, so asking men for money is like asking for small changes.
"Mrs. Jiang, have you seen the recruitment notice written by Ren Rongzheng?"
The group of military wives who were surrounding Jiang Shufen immediately went to find Jiang Shufen after seeing this.
"Humph, I think she's just crazy. She's taking advantage of the fact that she's the factory director's daughter and has a few bucks to act like that."
"I think so too. But can she really give me thirty dollars for being an apprentice?"
"Of course not. This is just a scam!" Jiang Shufen said firmly. "It's okay if others get fooled, but you can't. Ren Rongzheng is very wicked. He's just trying to win people over."
"Yes, don't be fooled!"
Jiang Shufen really hoped that no one would go, but as for the money, there was a benefit of going for an interview, which would give her a bag of rice regardless of whether she passed or not. Who could not go and take a look for the sake of rice and money?
Once someone really took the rice, there would be no one to worry about after them. Jiang Shufen tried to persuade them with all her might, but it was no use. She was almost pissed off.
"I haven't left the house yet, but I can hear the noise you're making outside."
That night, after Ren Rongzheng took care of Zhan Beiqin after he finished taking a bath and helped him to bed, he was greeted with this sarcastic remark.
"That means you have superb eyesight and superb hearing, my dear. You are truly a god. I admire you."
"I got three thousand dollars from your father. The way you're spending it, it'll be gone in less than three months."
"When you keep money in the bank, it's money that makes money, and only when you invest it, you have the chance to make big money. Just like what you said about Jiang Linhai, how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan? Others may not understand me, but how can my husband not understand me?"
As soon as Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, Zhan Beiqin put his arm around her waist and pulled her over, pressing her tightly against his chest.
"Yes, others don't understand you, but I do."
Because the two people were very close, Ren Rongzheng looked into his eyes so closely, but he couldn't see his true self, especially the last sentence he said, "I understand you."
It was as if a pair of invisible big hands instantly pinched her heart, and at that moment she returned to her previous life.
Fight against Beiqin?
That he understood her?
Understand what? Does Zhan Beiqin understand Ren Rongzheng in this life, or does he understand Rumo in the previous life?
“Ah…hiss!”
Just as she was concentrating on her thoughts, he pinched her waist hard, causing her to feel so much pain that it almost gave way to the top of her head.
"It hurts, you bastard, are you trying to strangle me to death?"
"You're still distracted even when I'm holding you in my arms. What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Jiang Linhai?"
"Are you crazy? Why would I think about him for no reason? I never want to mention that scumbag in my life."
Zhan Beiqin smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "Remember what you said. Serve me well tonight. Tomorrow you go to the dance, and I can consider letting Li Kui drive you there."
Um?
"Deputy Political Commissar Zhan, if I could change your mind just by sleeping with you, wouldn't that be a violation of your principles? I was the one who suggested it, but thinking back, it was inappropriate.
Li Kui is your personal orderly specially assigned by the military district to take care of you. That car is also assigned to you by the military district for public use. This is my personal matter.
Using a company vehicle to take me on personal business is inappropriate, inappropriate. I can't just cause you to be criticized by the entire army, and then be criticized a second time."
