After hesitating for a moment, Yun Duoduo nodded, "Okay, then you and Sister Huang can go to my shop together and take a look at the contract first, and then see if it's suitable for you. If it is, after signing the contract, you can get some work to do."
Upon hearing this, Sister Huang, Liu Jinfeng, and Sister Xihua immediately nodded.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, who wouldn't want to earn more money so that their family can have a more prosperous holiday?
Actually, for the people in their compound, the Spring Festival is the most difficult time.
During the Spring Festival, they either take their wives and children back to their hometown to visit their parents, which inevitably costs money, or they don't go home at all but send money back to their hometown, which is also a significant expense.
However, they usually don't save much money.
Therefore, they are now looking for work so that they can have a much more comfortable New Year.
Seeing that they were all planning to go, Yun Duoduo smiled and made her requirements clear first, "But sisters-in-law, let me make this clear first, my requirements are quite high."
"Although you won't be working in the factory, you still have to do it according to my requirements. When the goods are delivered, we have special people to inspect them. If they are not done well and need to be reworked, your wages will be deducted, and there will be no opportunity to cooperate next time. In addition, you need to pay a deposit. Think carefully about whether you are willing to go."
"A deposit is required? This..." Upon hearing that a deposit was required, Sister-in-law Xihua immediately backed down.
But Aunt Huang was already prepared and immediately agreed, "Aunt Yan, I'll go, I'll definitely go."
“Then I’ll go too.” Liu Jinfeng agreed to pay the deposit.
In the end, Sister-in-law Xihua backed out, while Liu Jinfeng and Sister-in-law Huang both agreed to go.
Yun Duoduo nodded and said they could go directly in the afternoon. She would be at the shop all day. If she wasn't there, her second brother and Yan Honglan could handle it.
Seeing everyone gathered around Yun Duoduo, Li Cuihong felt envious.
You know, in the past, the military wives in this compound would all try to please her and ask her to help them find work.
In the past, everyone coveted the jobs she introduced, as they could earn a few cents a day. But since Yun Duoduo's factory started hiring, not many people are interested in the jobs she introduced anymore.
They can earn at least two yuan, so why would they care about a few cents?
She felt very unbalanced and said with a sneer, "What's so great about it? It's just that I got lucky and opened a shop by getting a family member's help. Why are you so proud of it? The shop might go out of business tomorrow. What's so smug about it?"
She spoke very softly, and Yun Duoduo and the others didn't hear her, but someone behind Li Cuihong heard her.
This person was none other than military doctor Li Sijie.
Li Sijie was carrying a medicine kit, probably having just treated someone's family member in the compound.
Li Sijie raised an eyebrow at Li Cuihong and asked with a faint smile, "Sister-in-law Cuihong, do you have a problem with Sister-in-law Yan?"
Upon seeing that it was Li Sijie, Li Cuihong didn't try to hide it and immediately began to complain in a low voice, "Dr. Li, you don't know, this Yun Duoduo is no good..."
Because Li Cuihong learned about some things about the Li family from Wang Zhengyuan, she knew very well that Sijie definitely had a grudge against Yun Duoduo.
In addition, after seeing the look in Yun Duoduo's eyes and Li Sijie's eyes, she became even more certain.
Some people also loathe Yun Duoduo so much that she felt she had found her tribe and couldn't wait to gravitate towards Li Sijie.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Li Sijie saw through Li Cuihong's thoughts at a glance. She glanced at the courtyards next to Li Cuihong's and Yun Duoduo's, which were separated by only a wall. She raised an eyebrow, thinking that perhaps Li Cuihong would be useful in the future.
She smiled and said to Li Cuihong, "Sister-in-law, is this your yard?"
“Yes, yes.” Li Cuihong immediately understood what Li Sijie meant and hurriedly pointed to her yard. “Look at my brain, let’s go inside and chat. I have a bit of a cold recently and I want to get some medicine from Dr. Li.”
Li Sijie nodded deliberately and smiled, "Okay, I'll prescribe some cold medicine for you, so you don't have to make a special trip to the clinic, which would be too much trouble."
Of course, she said this intentionally so that others in the compound could hear it, in case anything happened in the future, she could say that she went to Li Cuihong's house on official business.
Yun Duoduo saw Li Cuihong and Li Sijie, but ignored them and rode her bicycle directly to the shop.
When she arrived, she was worried that Li Dongyun and Zhang Yuxia were waiting for her at the shop, so she rushed to the shop.
But to her surprise, when she arrived at the street corner, she saw Zhang Yuxia standing there, looking like she had been there for a while and was peering inside.
She guessed that Zhang Yuxia was probably waiting for her older brother, Yun Zhifeng.
Yun Duoduo stepped forward and called out to Zhang Yuxia, "Sister Yuxia, why are you standing here? Aren't we looking for a shop today?"
"Duoduo, I..." Zhang Yuxia paused for a moment before awkwardly replying to Yun Duoduo, "Your aunt has already gone. Your second brother took her to see a few shops, and she was quite satisfied with them. She can just pick one. You can go and give her your opinion."
Yun Duoduo nodded, then deliberately asked Zhang Yuxia, "Why aren't you going?"
"I..." Zhang Yuxia stammered, unsure of what to say, and finally casually said, "I have something to do and I have to leave in a hurry."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo merely raised an eyebrow slightly, deliberately refraining from asking further questions. She then greeted Zhang Yuxia and prepared to return to her shop.
She was certain that Zhang Yuxia would stop her and ask about Yun Zhifeng's situation.
Actually, although she promised Yun Zhiwei that she would no longer get involved, she still wanted to know what exactly happened between them back then.
Sure enough, Yun Duoduo had only taken two or three steps forward when Zhang Yuxia pulled her back.
Then, she bit her lip and asked softly, "Duoduo, wait, I have something to ask you."
"What's wrong?" Yun Duoduo looked at Zhang Yuxia, waiting for her to say it herself.
"I..." Zhang Yuxia hesitated for a few more words before finally asking, "How has your older brother been all these years? Is he happy? How many children does he have?"
"Sister Yuxia, back then, you and my brother..." Yun Duoduo didn't finish her sentence, hoping Zhang Yuxia would continue.
Zhang Yuxia hesitated for a moment, still unwilling to tell the truth, "We're fine. It's just that when I was a sent-down youth there, your older brother took good care of us sent-down youths, so I wanted to ask how he's been doing all these years?"
"That's good." Yun Duoduo had no patience to beat around the bush with her anymore, and deliberately blinked as she said, "Sister Yuxia, if you don't tell me the truth, I won't tell you. I know you and Big Brother used to date, but you couldn't be together, right?"
"I..." Since Duoduo had already guessed, Zhang Yuxia didn't hide it anymore. She sighed and nodded, "Yes, you guessed right. Your older brother and I did date back then..."
