Chapter 154 Why are you standing there?

Aunt Zhou gave him the money but didn't leave immediately. Instead, she set her eyes on his ducks.

She thought this young man was too unsophisticated. He kept so many ducks in the yard. How smelly it must be.

"How much do you want the ducks?"

Lai Liuzi said, "There are ten ducks here. Three of them are for my sister-in-law, and five have been ordered. How many do you want, Aunt Zhou?"

Aunt Zhou counted and said, "Can you give me the remaining two?"

"Sure. Ducks are cheaper than chickens. I'll charge you 90 cents per pound. If you want, I'll weigh them now."

Aunt Zhou hurriedly said, "Weigh them!"

It was right for Jiang Yu to bring her here. She didn't care whether Lai Liuzi was engaged in speculation or not. She only knew that her family couldn't eat meat, and it was all thanks to him.

She had to be grateful to the one who let her eat meat and wear cotton clothes.

Aunt Zhou gave the money without hesitation.

When Jiang Yu heard that he was going to keep a few ducks for himself, he quickly declined: "You keep them for yourself, why do you keep them for me."

Lai Liuzi said: "If it weren't for you and Brother Yue's help, I wouldn't have been so successful."

He also harvested these ducks. When he was harvesting cotton, he found a large area of ​​reeds over there. Many families would raise ducks by the river. There were

not many ducks, about 20 to 30 ducks per household.

He harvested a few from each family and brought back 20 ducks.

Not long after he came back, they were almost all sold.

He was concerned about the relationship between Jiang Yu and He Tingyue, so he decided from the beginning to keep some ducks for Jiang Yu.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother felt that Lai Liuzi was more reliable.

"Then I will go home first and wait for you to deliver the things."

Lai Liuzi agreed readily: "Don't worry, mother. Sister-in-law, I will deliver your duck to you later so you don't have to take it."

Jiang Yu had no choice but to accept it.

"Then you can call Tie Niu to come to our house for dinner. I will ask your brother-in-law to cook and stew a duck for everyone."

Lai Liuzi felt embarrassed at first, but when he heard that He Tingyue was cooking, he couldn't help it.

"Then Tie Niu and I will not be polite."

Jiang Yu said angrily: "Why are you being polite to me?"

Lai Liuzi sent them out, and he felt very relieved.

He has been an orphan since he was a child, and now he is alone.

Tieniu is almost like a real brother, but he is not an orphan.

Both his parents are alive, but his father favors the eldest son, while his mother favors the youngest son. He is stuck in the middle and cannot find anyone who loves him. He

is always bullied at home, and the money he earns has to be taken away by others. It is

better for him to go out and hang out with Liuzi. Everyone scolds them for being street urchins who do not work properly and they want to stay away from them.

Because of this, the warmth and kindness he felt from Jiang Yu made him unable to help but give back with his heart.

Jiang Yu and Aunt Zhou came out of Daxin Hutong, and Aunt Zhou pulled her aside to talk about the recruitment of workers for the second factory.

Jiang Yu smiled and nodded, "I just saw it. They said they needed a recommendation."

She couldn't say that she knew about it from Xie Jinchang in advance, so as not to cause trouble for him.

Zhou's mother was about to tell her that Director Zheng would recommend her, but was interrupted by a voice beside her.

"It's useless to see it. Jiang Yu, don't dream about it. This job is not your turn."

Jiang Yu looked up and thought that it was really a narrow road for enemies. Duan Yuzhen could be seen everywhere.

She and Yan Wenxuan were holding things in their hands, and they couldn't see what they were through a layer of bags.

Mother Zhou looked at her with a sharp look, "How funny, it's not her turn, but your turn? This recruitment also tests one's character, and you are the first one to fail."

Duan Yuzhen was so angry that she cursed, "You old woman, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Mother Zhou sneered, "Everyone will grow old, so what's wrong with growing old? You may not even have the opportunity to grow old, so be more virtuous!"

Duan Yuzhen wanted to argue a few more times, but was stopped by Yan Wenxuan.

"Why are you telling her this? Don't you even look at where she came from?"

Yan Wenxuan just saw Mother Zhou and Jiang Yu walking out of Daxin Hutong with his own eyes. Everyone knew what kind of place this was.

In the old society, Daxin Hutong was a place for prostitution.

Later, when dynasties changed and new systems were introduced, that business was banned.

But in places where the sun doesn't shine, there are still people who do that secretly.

Yan Wenxuan's eyes were filled with contempt, and he looked down on Zhou's mother.

Jiang Yu sneered coldly: "He is dirty and everything he sees is dirty. Why does Zhou care about him?"

Zhou's mother snorted, "I ignore him. I'm going home first. You should go back early too."

"Okay, be safe, mother."

Yan Wenxuan patted Duan Yuzhen, "Let's go quickly too, don't be late."

He and Duan Yuzhen came out today for the recruitment of workers for the second factory.

Duan Jianren didn't have the ability to help them get the recommendation quota, but he gave them a way.

It was said that Miao Shilan, the wife of Director Zheng, was the head of the Finance Department of the second factory.

Since they couldn't get close to Director Zheng, maybe they could follow Miao Shilan's path.

So Yan Wenxuan brought Duan Yuzhen and prepared a lot of things, hoping to visit him in the name of Duan Jianren, hoping to get a recommendation.

Yan Wenxuan did all this not for Duan Yuzhen, but for himself.

He planned it very well. If he could really get a recommendation, he would definitely report his name. A formal worker would be more popular than his current substitute teacher.

After walking all the way, Yan Wenxuan unexpectedly found that Aunt Zhou was actually going the same way as them.

Neither side spoke, and the atmosphere was even a little stiff.

But when they reached South Street, Yan Wenxuan's heart skipped a beat.

It couldn't be that their destination was the same, right?

Duan Yuzhen didn't think as much as he did, and the two of them walked all the way to Director Zheng's house.

Aunt Zhou glanced at them and said in surprise, "You come to this house?"

Duan Yuzhen said with disdain, "Aunt, you are not here to see Director Zheng, are you?"

"That's not the case." She was going back to her own home.

Duan Yuzhen said, "Then don't stand here, move aside."

Aunt Zhou said, and made way.

Duan Yuzhen stepped forward, adjusted her expression, and knocked on the door.

Seeing her change from an ugly and arrogant face to a sweet and polite smile in less than a second, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but be amazed.

It was Miao Shilan who came out to open the door. She recognized Duan Yuzhen because Duan Jianren was also from the Finance Department and worked under her.

"Is this Yuzhen? You were still very young when I saw you last time. I heard that you got married?"

Duan Yuzhen covered her mouth and laughed, "Section Chief Miao, you actually still remember me? Yes, I just got married a while ago, and my brother wanted to invite you, but he was afraid to disturb you."

Miao Shilan smiled. She was just being polite just now. Everyone knew that Duan Yuzhen got married, and none of the Duan family members attended, let alone her.

"You are here today..."

Before she finished her words, she caught a glimpse of Aunt Zhou being squeezed aside, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

"Mom, why are you standing there?"

Duan Yuzhen was startled, and looked at Yan Wenxuan. They

shouted at the same time: "Mom?"

Aunt Zhou frowned, "They asked me to get out of the way, and I made way for them."

Miao Shilan stopped laughing and hurriedly pulled Aunt Zhou into the house.

"This is your home. There is no reason to give way to outsiders."

After saying that, he turned around and introduced Duan Yuzhen: "This is my mother-in-law. She is a bit blunt. Don't mind, Yuzhen."

Duan Yuzhen didn't dare to mind. She never thought that this inconspicuous Aunt Zhou was actually the mother of Director Zheng!

She was miserable. She had offended someone's mother before she even visited the door.

Fortunately, Yan Wenxuan was calm and apologized: "It turns out that this lady is the mother of Director Zheng. I was really rude just now."

Aunt Zhou didn't buy it. She turned around and went into the house without saying a word.

Miao Shilan still didn't understand something. It must be Duan Yuzhen who offended her.

"Yuzhen, it's not convenient today, so I won't invite you in. Let's talk about it another day."

After saying that, she closed the door without waiting for the two people outside to respond.

Yan Wenxuan's face was ugly, "How many times have I told you to keep your mouth shut, but you refused to listen. Are you satisfied now?"

Duan Yuzhen stared and retorted sharply: "Can you blame me for this? How do I know that she is the mother of Director Zheng! You just said that she came from Daxin Hutong, so she must not be a decent person!"

Yan Wenxuan was so angry that he left with his sleeves swung.
