Chapter 309 Confident Woman
When Su Xiumei was young, she left the countryside to work in the city. With the help of marriage, she became a regular worker in a meat processing plant.
Whether in the eyes of the Su family or in the eyes of the people in Wutong Village, she is a golden phoenix that flew out of the chicken coop.
This sense of superiority has accompanied her for many years, to the point that she feels that her vision and knowledge are superior to those of the people around her. She has a blind self-confidence, so confident that she feels she can control everyone.
This is the mentality behind her arranging the marriage between Su Jiaojiao and Su Cuicui, and her current inquiries about Liang Kun's work.
She felt that everything she did was right.
Anyone who doesn't listen to her is a fool!
But in the eyes of Su Jiaojiao, Liang Kun and Peng Shumei, whoever listens to her is a fool.
Her thinking is still stuck in a few years ago. In fact, urban household registration is no longer very popular now.
In the past two years, as long as you work in the unit for a few years and sign a labor contract, you can easily transfer from rural to non-rural status. It is not as difficult as in the previous two years.
Especially in the past two years, more and more people have been laid off, and more and more people have become self-employed. Some self-employed people make money, while naturally some do not.
But in this era, as long as you find the right direction or work hard, you can make money.
The times are developing and everyone's thoughts are changing, but Su Xiumei did not catch up with these changes. She stubbornly believed that the best way out was to work steadily in the unit.
Liang Kun had tasted the sweetness of contracting the market, so naturally he would not listen to her.
What's more, she is my stepmother.
Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao remained silent, and Liang Kun began to criticize Su Xiumei: "She has been like this her whole life. Her words are authoritative, and if anyone disobeys her, she will nag and lecture us over and over again until we compromise."
"And as for your father, if she keeps getting involved, I think your father is going to get divorced again." Peng Shumei took over the conversation and said to Su Jiaojiao, "Last December, Gao Meifeng's brother Gao Qiang borrowed money from them to buy a car. Your father didn't lend him the money, so Gao Meifeng quarreled with your father and took Xue Yuxin back to live with her mother. Your grandmother was living with them at the time, and she almost fell down the stairs trying to keep them. When your aunt found out, she called Gao Meifeng and scolded her, saying that if she wanted to, she could leave, and if not, she shouldn't come back."
"During the twelfth lunar month, didn't they go back to the village to celebrate the New Year?" Chen Guilan recalled what Su Houli said when he came to see Su Jiaojiao last time.
"They went back to the village to celebrate the Lunar New Year, but only my grandma and my uncle went back. The mother and daughter didn't go back." Liang Kun said, "We went back on the third day of the Lunar New Year and had dinner in your house. My uncle was drunk and cried, saying he regretted it."
"It's too late to regret." Su Jiaojiao said calmly, "There's no regret medicine in the world."
Some people can be forgiven.
Some people can never be forgiven.
Su Houli is one of those people who can never be forgiven.
Liang Kun and Peng Shumei chatted for a while and then left. They said that they had spent the New Year in the staff quarters and this was their first day back. They were getting married next month, so they had to redecorate the place.
Chen Guilan asked Su Jiaojiao curiously, "They're living together before they get married?"
Su Jiaojiao hadn't thought about it that way at first, but when Chen Guilan asked, she was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this a big deal?"
Although cohabitation before marriage is not common in this era, it does not mean that it does not exist.
Besides, they are getting married soon, so it’s a natural thing for both parties to do so.
"How can it be nothing? They're not getting married until next month, and they're already living together?" Chen Guilan couldn't accept this and solemnly reminded Su Jiaojiao, "If you're in a relationship, you can't do this. You have to follow the rules. They'll be married for so long, so a few days won't make a difference."
That's what husband and wife are like.
It started out sweet, but then slowly faded...
"I understand." Su Jiaojiao agreed casually. She was a very insecure person. If she gave herself up too early, she might become worried and anxious.
In any case, she failed in the area of marriage and love. She didn't even know how to face her own affairs. After living two lifetimes, she was still a novice in love.
Instead of getting entangled in a relationship, it is better to take an order and run around the market. You will be tired but happy, and there will be a lot of money in your pocket. This feeling is really wonderful.
At least it's easier than falling in love.
The next day, Yu Feng sent someone to deliver the embroidery machine.
The driver who was following the car was very nice and taught them step by step how to thread the needle and adjust the pattern. Su Jiaojiao learned quickly and could master it just by watching.
But this machine is mainly used by Chen Guilan, so it is not enough for her to know how to use it.
Chen Guilan is old, and although she learns a little slowly, she studies very seriously. She knows that the embroidery machine is very expensive, and she also knows that her daughter will go to school soon. If she doesn't know how to do it, she will be at a loss.
It was not until Chen Guilan was able to operate independently and produce a pattern that she left her phone number with the car driver and told him to call them if she had any questions.
In order not to waste needles and thread, Chen Guilan practiced on the sweatshirts in stock. She would find a pattern and embroider on the front or cuffs of the sweatshirt.
The embroidery pattern is different from the spray-on pattern. The embroidery pattern looks more elegant.
The mother and daughter spent the entire morning tinkering with the embroidery machine in the shop. At noon, Cai Ting arrived, carrying a lot of bags. As soon as she entered the room, she was stunned: "Jingjiao, where did Ding Mei move to?"
"We've moved to the new factory." Su Jiaojiao was very happy to see Cai Ting. "Didn't I ask you to come over tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"You're going to Mocheng tomorrow. I was afraid I'd be late, so I came a day early." Cai Ting greeted Chen Guilan with a smile, "Happy New Year, Auntie."
"Happy New Year." Chen Guilan was delighted to see Cai Ting. She chatted with her for a few minutes and continued fiddling with the embroidery machine. Cai Ting came over to take a look curiously. "This embroidery machine is really nice. When did you buy it?"
"I bought it yesterday and it was delivered today." Su Jiaojiao asked Cai Ting to learn it too so that she could use it in the future.
Cai Ting learns quickly and gets the hang of it right away.
In fact, this kind of computer embroidery machine is not difficult to use. Just thread the right thread, select the pattern, and follow the prompts.
"You guys are young after all, and I'm still getting old." Chen Guilan practiced for a while and then went upstairs to cook. Cai Ting then said to Su Jiaojiao, "Wang Hua called me. He didn't say much, but he asked in a roundabout way about how things were going between you and Mr. Lu..."
"Let it be!" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to mention this matter.
Lu Jingyou still sent her text messages every day. The difference was that before, the text messages he sent were all daily messages, but now they were all love messages, which made her not know how to reply... so she simply didn't reply.
"What does that mean?" Cai Ting didn't understand.
"I didn't contact him." Su Jiaojiao didn't think her relationship with Lu Jingyou had any impact on Wang Hua and Cai Ting. "Don't mention it again. I'm still upset!"
Seeing her say this, Cai Ting didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The next day, the two got up early and took a bus to Mocheng.
The Melbourne clothing wholesale market wouldn't open until after the Lantern Festival, so they went directly to the Qifa Garment Factory, which had wholesaled jeans before the New Year.
