Chapter 512: Money over Life (2/2)



Speaking of this, Su Hua introduced, "There are many kinds of industrial groups in our street. Some make leather bags, some sew cloth toys, some assemble alarm clocks, sew clothes, and make leather shoes."

"I was initially assigned to the leather shoe group, where my daily task was to glue the soles of shoes. It was actually quite easy and not tiring. I just sat there gluing the soles and insoles together. I was paid seven yuan a day, and around twenty yuan a month."

"Unfortunately, my body wasn't up to the task. I couldn't handle the pungent smell of glue. After only three days, I was dizzy, nauseous, and retching. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said I was poisoned. There was something in the glue that was harmful to the body. An older person might be fine, but I was a child and too frail, so I had a severe rejection reaction. Anyway, I can't continue working with glue anymore."

"The leader of the production team was also afraid that I would be poisoned to death, so he asked someone to coordinate and send me to the vegetable market."

"Actually, working in the market is quite easy and relaxing, and you only have to work half a day. The only problem is that the pay is too low, only nine dollars."

Su Hua sighed, and Yun Qiao glanced at her: "From your tone, you seem quite regretful about transferring you from the production team to the vegetable farm?"

Su Hua nodded honestly.

She really didn't want to leave the delivery group, and even felt that she could adapt a little more. Maybe after a while she would become immune to the smell of glue?

After all, the salary difference between the two is more than half.

She only earns nine yuan a month now. In order to ensure nutrition and not die prematurely in the future, she dares not save on food like before. As a result, she has almost no money left every month. Although she still takes cardboard boxes from the street to make paper boxes at home after work, the wage for making paper boxes is too low. She can't make much money in two days. No matter how contented she is, she sometimes feels anxious.

"Don't put money before your life." Yun Qiao gave her a warning look, dispelling her thoughts: "The glue used to stick shoes together is poisonous. If you stay in that toxic environment for a long time, you will get sick."

"Once you lose your health, no amount of money can buy it back. If you're even more unlucky and get leukemia, even money can't buy your life back."

Hemorrhage, also known as blood cancer.

Su Hua knew that this disease was incurable.

She shuddered and said, "Sister Yunqiao, I know, I was just talking. If you really let me do it, I will definitely not be able to bear it in two days."

Yun Qiao nodded: "You understand."

After chatting with Su Hua for more than half an hour and learning that she was doing well, Yun Qiao felt relieved and stood up to leave.

Su Hua walked her to the door. Yun Qiao waved her hand and said, "No need to walk me back. It's too tiring to go down from the fifth floor and then back up. I can go down by myself."

At this point, Yun Qiao specifically reminded her: "By the way, Xiaohua, the pastries I brought you are in bulk and won't keep for long. Please eat them up as soon as possible in the next few days."

"Yes." Su Hua nodded, stood at the door, and watched Yun Qiao go downstairs.

She returned to the house and opened the packaging of the pastries that Yun Qiao had brought.

After the rope was untied, Su Hua discovered that the pastry was wrapped in two layers of oil paper, with two pieces of big unity sandwiched between the two layers of oil paper.

Her sister Yun Qiao secretly stuffed twenty yuan in it for her. No wonder she emphasized before leaving that this pastry cannot be kept and must be eaten quickly.

It turned out that he was reminding her not to forget to eat the pastries and not to miss the money inside.

Su Hua's nose felt sore and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Such a young sister, and she has no relatives or friends...

How could she be worthy...how could she be worthy...

Su Hua rushed out of the house clutching the money, wanting to return it to Yun Qiao, but when she chased downstairs, Yun Qiao had already disappeared.

She ran to the gate of the family compound, but couldn't find Yun Qiao after searching for a long time. She could only walk back in despair.

"Xiaohua!" Suddenly, a shout came from behind.

Su Hua recognized that it was not Yun Qiao's voice, so he walked forward silently without turning his head.

"Xiaohua!"

"Xiaohua, wait a minute!"

Ye Lin called out twice but received no response, so she trotted over to catch up.

She grabbed Su Hua's wrist, a little unhappy: "Xiao Hua, why didn't you answer when I called you?"

Su Hua put his hands in his pockets and looked at Ye Lin with a cold look: "I was thinking about something and didn't hear it."

Ye Lin didn't mind her indifference and said with a smile, "Xiaohua, did you pay attention to what I asked you to do last time?"
