Chapter 190: Two Great Things
Zhou Jiaojiao used the name of red dates to show off her work, and after putting down red dates, she left with a proud step. Not long after, Wu Xianglan came over with a depressed look on her face.
"Sister-in-law, you see, she just got the job, and she's already started to work hard. Her tail is almost flying to the sky, as if she wants everyone in the village to know that she knows the director of the textile factory's wife."
Shen Meng stopped knitting sweaters, took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, and together with Wu Xianglan, she started to play crickets with Zhou Jiaojiao.
"Who said it wasn't? Don't be angry, Xianglan. I'll go to the county and arrange your job for you. So what if the textile factory director's wife arranged a job for her? The factory director's wife has no real power. This matter is probably kept secret. If she has someone else, she'll be gone. If others know about this, it will break her spine."
When Wu Xianglan heard that her job could be settled, she hurriedly moved the wooden stool closer.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I have finally figured it out after the Chinese New Year. In the future, the only things I can rely on are my own money and my two children. I can't count on the rest."
"You are right to think so, Xianglan. You were confused at the beginning. What's so good about a man? Look at your child's father, who he is obsessed with? You should know that you should fight for your children's things from their grandfather, and protect them well after getting them. Otherwise, you don't know who will get the benefit."
Speaking of Lu Jiahe, Wu Xianglan's yellow teeth were about to break. She used to be frugal and would rather treat her children harshly than let them, a hard worker, have enough to eat. But her brother's things were quite pleasing, and all the good and fragrant things were given to Liu Suqin. Whenever she thought of these things, she felt like suffocating.
"Sister-in-law, I regret it in my heart. Not only do I regret that I didn't have enough heart and felt sorry for the wrong person in the past, I also regret that I didn't have enough eyes. It's wrong that such a woman pretends to be a good person, but treats you so well. I am really blinded by greed. Sister-in -law, I am really sorry."
Regardless of whether Wu Xianglan was sincere or not, Shen Meng still held her hands and said, "Xianglan, don't say that. It's all in the past. I just saw that you were having a hard time and I felt sorry for your children. Otherwise, why wouldn't I give Jing such a good job? Speaking of which, my relationship with her is good, isn't it? Is this just because you think your man is not ambitious? If you don't have someone to rely on, I don't know how miserable my two children will be in the future."
Shen Meng answered the question that had been bothering her heart. Sister-in-law is really kind-hearted. She really feels sorry for Yongqiang and Yongli.
"Okay, don't be like that. If the children see you, they will think I bullied you. I am a good friend of the textile factory director's daughter-in-law. I will ask her to look after you. I will definitely not let you be bullied in the factory. Don't worry, Qianqian just gave birth to a child and she is not often in the textile factory. You have to do a lot of things by yourself. Don't be stingy when you get along with people. Spend money when you should. The factory provides one meal. You go there in the morning and come back in the evening, which is just right. By the way, if you see Jiaojiao in the factory, try to hide from her, or she will make things difficult for you. Oh!"
Wu Xianglan immediately widened her eyes and looked at Shen Meng disapprovingly.
"Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. I haven't done anything shameful. Why should I be afraid of her? Sister-in-law, you have thought of everything for me. How I will live in the factory in the future is up to me. Don't say that I am not afraid of Zhou Jiaojiao. Even if I am afraid, what can I do? I will do my job well. How can she control me?"
"Hey, sister-in-law, why should I worry about this? I am worried that your eldest brother will return to the army in a few months. By then, I will work in the bus company, Zhou Jiaojiao will have a formal job, and there is also Jiaxuan. If the couple wants to bully our family or your mother, who can control it? Our two families have had a lot of conflicts in the past six months. Look at the look of Jiaojiao just now. Doesn't she look like she doesn't bear grudges?"
Wu Xianglan's face was a little pale. She was not worried about herself. She had a job that paid more than ten yuan a month. She would not leave even if she was beaten or scolded. But if she was not at home, what would happen if the two children were bullied?
"Sister-in-law..."
"Don't worry, don't worry. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to go to work. Mingkai is entrusted to Jing to take care of. I'll give her two yuan a month, and I'll pay for her food and drink. Your Yongqiang and Yongli are still one year away from being able to go to school. If you're willing, I'll ask for a discount of three yuan for two children, and let her and Jiasheng take care of them. Don't be reluctant to spend the money. Besides, nothing is more important than children. It would be fine if Jiasheng could be relied on, but I'm afraid he..."
Wu Xianglan said quickly, "I'm willing, sister-in-law. As long as I Take the salary and I'll get back to Jing right away."
Shen Meng was very happy that Wu Xianglan was so considerate. She patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about the money. If you have free time in the county, you can make some money by doing the laundry. Just work hard first. After a long time, I'll ask Qianqian to move you to another job. Even if you can't move, you can have a lighter job and get better pay."
Wu Xianglan was deeply moved after hearing this, and she promised to tell Shen Meng everything about Zhou Jiaojiao's work in the textile factory. If Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan had any ideas, they could deal with them in advance.
At about noon, Yu Shirley made a pot of meat buns and brought seven or eight of them. It was also a coincidence that Xie Jing had cooked a pot of pickled cabbage, tofu and fish and also brought a sand basin. Shen Meng looked at the things the two people brought and couldn't help thinking that Lu Zhenping would be happy because he didn't have to cook for lunch.
"Hey, I was just thinking about looking for you in the afternoon, and you came by yourselves. Good thing, a great thing for each of you."
Yu Shirley and Xie Jing looked at each other suspiciously, then looked at Shen Meng, waiting for her to say what the good news was.
"Here's what happened. I went to the county yesterday. Shirley, the job I told you about is no longer available, but Dr. Cheng said he'll change it to a job of cutting vegetables and serving dishes. It's very light, and the salary has been increased by five yuan a month. Now it's twenty-four yuan a month. Jing, I'll tell you, Wu Xianglan went to the county to work, and I asked her to leave the two children to you for three yuan a month. My son Mingkai will be left to you for two yuan a month. You can go to the county to take care of them." "Just take care of it at home."
The two of them widened their eyes when they heard it. It was indeed a great thing. Yu Shirley blinked and said, "Jinghao, I will send my little girl to your house. I will give you two yuan every month. You help me take care of her. I will send my big girl to school and she will have lunch with you at noon. I will pay for the food of the two children separately."
Xie Jinghao opened her mouth and looked at the child. Can she earn so much money in a month with seven yuan?
Shen Meng looked at Yu Shirley and smiled. She was grateful. She just started it and she continued it. She was indeed a smart person.
At the same time, the county textile factory was also very busy. Li Qianqian's mother Qi Mingyue brought four or five women to the family compound with great momentum. There were three men behind them, one of whom was Luo Shihao, whose face was flushed with excitement.
