Grandma Miao, Grandpa Lei, and Wu Wanying had a moderate haul, but Wu Huaiqing was less fortunate, only managing to find five or six mudskippers, a few sword shrimp, and even just one stone crab.
Each of them picked up at least three stone crabs.
Aunt Miao even found five stone crabs, three blue crabs, and two red hairy crabs, which means she must have disturbed a crab burrow.
It was almost time, so the group packed up their things and headed back the way they came.
Two days later, Yu Yao had just returned home from get off work when Su Meihua came to her door.
"Yu Yao, do you know why Qin Lamei targeted you before?"
Yu Yao took some maintenance oil and applied it to the bicycle chain. Upon hearing this, she shook her head. "I don't know. What could be the reason?"
Su Meihua squatted down beside her and whispered, "Because she's jealous of you."
Yu Yao asked in surprise, "Jealous of me? We have no connection whatsoever, we've barely even met a few times, what is she jealous of me for?"
"Don't you believe me?" Su Meihua took out a handful of melon seeds from her bosom and handed them to Yu Yao. "Want some?"
Yu Yao shook her head, "No need, my hands are oily."
Su Meihua cracked open a sunflower seed and continued, "It's like this, after the Spring Festival this year, didn't Commander Zheng call on the Women's Association to set up some kind of sideline work group? Qin Lamei is the person in charge of the sideline work group."
"I know that, but what does it have to do with me?"
"That's the problem. This side hustle group has had one problem after another since it was set up. It took half a month just to figure out what to do at the beginning, and the people in the group even got into a fight."
"Later, we finally came up with a compromise: making canned fruit, but it didn't work out. I heard it was because Qin Lamei was a poor manager, forming cliques, and the people under her were not convinced."
"We've been running this side hustle group for over two months, spent a lot of money, but haven't sold a single item. Everyone in the group is complaining. I heard that if we can't keep going, we'll have to disband it."
Su Meihua spat out the sunflower seed shells and continued, "Some people said that Commander Zheng should have asked you to be in charge, because you are more capable than Qin Lamei and shouldn't have been chosen. Somehow this got to Qin Lamei's ears, which is why she's targeting you."
Yu Yao was speechless; this was truly an undeserved disaster.
April has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the annual Spring Canton Fair is about to begin.
All the colleagues from Haixing Food Factory who participated in this exchange meeting were ready to go and boarded a ship to Guangdong Province.
After a two-day, one-night voyage, Yu Yao and her group finally arrived in Guangdong Province.
Yu Yao and the people from the new workshop disembarked from the ship carrying their luggage when they heard someone call her name.
"Comrade Yu, over here!"
