Chapter 220: Spicy, numbing, and satisfying
When she was at work today, Shen Meng noticed a huge gap. Not to mention when she was managing the workshop, every time she went to the county town and met villagers, they would take her with them to greet and chat, and they were all happy all the way. But now, except for Wu Xianglan and Yu Xueli who talked to her, no one even talked to her.
Everyone kept their heads down and didn't say anything. Wu Xianglan pouted. She felt that although her sister-in-law was no longer the manager of the workshop, she had fought for benefits for everyone before. How could someone be so shameless? Even she couldn't do that.
In the morning, Zhou Jiaojiao was still talking about how she was familiar with the leaders of the textile factory and was on good terms with the factory director's wife. How could she, the wife of a big factory director, really make things difficult for a sweeper? She now had acquaintances in the textile factory and could not bully them whenever she wanted. If the factory director's wife dared to provoke her, she would lie down at the gate of the textile factory, no, she would just hang herself to scare them to death.
Wu Xianglan was thinking a lot, and finally understood how good Shen Meng was to her, why he always told her to get along well with people in the factory, and why he wanted to prevent Zhou Jiaojiao from getting into trouble. Look, she, the sweeper, hasn't been dealt with yet, but the sister-in-law, the manager, has already been stripped of her title.
Damn, it's really too disgusting.
Yu Shirley already knew Shen Meng's plan, so she was not in a hurry at all. She looked at the people on the ox cart with her eyes, thinking about what to ask for when she went back to the village. These people's daughters and daughters-in-law were not allowed to stay in the workshop. Bah, what a heartless thing.
On the way to the hospital, Shen Meng pulled her and found a place where no one was around to talk.
"I have something to tell you. I wanted to tell you yesterday, but something like that happened when I got home, and I didn't have time to tell you."
"What is it? Just tell me."
Shen Meng looked outside for a few times before leaning over to her ear and telling her about the deal with the food factory. Yu Shirley's eyes widened immediately.
"You can't do this. If it gets discovered, it will..."
"Hush, I'm just telling you that I can't do this alone. If you're scared, I'll go find someone else."
Shen Meng was about to leave after she finished speaking. Yu Shirley hurriedly stood in front of her. She was really scared. If she wasn't careful, she would have to go to jail. If it really came to that, what would happen to her two children?
But looking at Shen Meng's expression, I know that she has made up her mind. My good life now is all because of Shen Meng's help. From before to now, she has never asked me to say anything.
Now is the first time she asked. If I really refuse, I will feel guilty.
"Xiao Meng, I just want to ask you, are you sure you can guarantee the safety of this matter?"
This sentence is actually a redundant question. After all, if you are not careful, you will be finished. No one can guarantee that it will be safe. It's just that this matter is not as dangerous as the black market. The buyer is a non-staple food factory, so there is an extra guarantee.
"If I say it's safe, you may not believe me, but don't worry, I won't let you do anything complicated. We are just middlemen, and we are just taking some benefits from it. Besides, our lives are so stable now, and I won't take risks for the sake of the children, don't worry."
"But I heard that the food factory has a fixed amount of food every month. How are they going to explain the sudden increase in these old ones?"
"That's their business, it has nothing to do with us. We are just setting up a connection. The share we get is from the seller, fifty yuan each time. You don't need to participate now. I will do this. I will call you when I need help, Shirley. I just want to ask you, are you willing to do this?"
Fifty yuan each time, Yu Shirley's eyes widened, and she swallowed nervously. If she did this for a year, she would be able to live a comfortable life.
She actually didn't have much money on hand now, and her family was struggling. She just wanted to save some money so that she could live a more comfortable life in the future.
But now...she actually hesitated for so much money
Yu Shirley looked at Shen Meng steadily. She didn't tell Shen Xiaobin and Wu Xianglan who were also in the county town about this, but told herself instead. It seems that she really only trusts herself.
"Wealth and honor are sought in danger, Shen Meng, I'll do it."
"Okay, then it's settled. You go to work first. I'll call you if there's anything. Remember to keep it secret."
After arriving at the bus company, Shen Meng started another day of office life. In her spare time, she drank milk tea and ate spicy strips, which made the office people drool.
While eating, Shen Meng suddenly looked down at the spicy strips in her hand. Couldn't this thing also be given to the people in the food factory for tasting?
It was spicy, numb and satisfying.
After coming up with this idea, Shen Meng quickly looked at the notebook and wrote down the ingredients. She had never made this before and didn't know if she could succeed.
After returning home in the evening, she took out all the ingredients for spicy strips and started making them herself.
Lu Zhenping and a few children were in the main room, occasionally looking out to hear the ping-pong sounds in the kitchen, and they were all worried.
"I said that mother was only happy on the surface, but she was actually very sad in her heart."
"When I went to school in the morning, Fourth Aunt was dressed up very smartly. She was wearing the little leather shoes she wore when she got married. Her hair was greasy, and I wonder if she had smeared lard on it. Didn't she say everywhere that she didn't want to go to the workshop? How come she got up earlier than me, a student?"
"Brother, that's what Fourth Aunt said. If she didn't say it, she would seem like a villain. The workshop was managed by mother, and she took it away. Some people outside said that she was good, while others said that she was just jealous of mother. I never realized that Fourth Aunt was such a bad person before."
"She is good but bad. She looks like a good person, but she is actually a bad person."
"Bad person, bad person, may God strike her to death with thunder..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Lu Mingkai? You are so young, but you keep talking about God. Who did you learn this from? You want God to thunder. You and God are relatives! If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up."
Lu Mingkai shrank his neck in fear, and carefully glanced at Lu Zhenping, and then ran to the kitchen.
"Mom, Dad is going to beat me, Dad is going to beat my little butt!"
Lu Zhenping looked at Mingkai speechlessly while he ran away with his butt covered. He didn't intend to interrupt the children's discussion. They also had their own ideas. It was normal for them to want to say something, even if they were talking about their elders. But every time this little guy made up something, people would have a heart attack.
Idle, just idle. Every time I go out, I stare at the old lady. I remember their idle chats most clearly.
