Ever since Sister Zhang leaked the news that she was going to sell her job, her relatives and friends came to her door like cats smelling blood, leaving her no peace at all.
Her husband's family wanted her to give the job to her uncle's nephew for free, while her parents' family wanted her to give the job to her nephew for free.
Other relatives offered to buy it, but after learning about her situation, they kept trying to bargain her down and were only willing to give 600 yuan at most.
This was not the end. These people even arranged shifts and blocked her at the door of the state-owned restaurant and her home every day. They followed her all the way to and from get off work, keeping a 360-degree watch on her, fearing that the duck she had caught would fly away. She was so angry that she had a headache and chest tightness.
If her wife had not returned to the textile factory's staff quarters to visit her father-in-law and mother-in-law and heard what her mother-in-law said, she would not have known about this.
Sister Zhang was furious at their actions. She didn't want to give anything to any of these people with bad intentions.
When Shi Hanquan heard this, he thought, "What a coincidence!" He was worried about not being able to repay Chen Qiangwei for saving his life, so today he and his wife went to his mother-in-law's house and, under his mother-in-law's protection, he got to know Sister Zhang clearly.
Sister Zhang now just wants to sell her job to an outsider as soon as possible, and then take her children to her husband's place. She is very welcoming to the arrival of her friend and her friend's husband, and even said that the price can be reduced by 50 yuan.
Shi Hanquan said, "That's the thing. Waiter work isn't busy. It's only busy during meal times. Restaurants only have those few hours, so it's usually pretty quiet. Plus, the pay is pretty good."
Chen Qiangwei said sincerely, "Uncle, thank you. One thousand yuan is not a small amount. I will go back and think about it carefully. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?"
Shi Hanquan said, "Of course. I asked her to give me the job for three days. So, if you want it, you can come to the cannery's transportation department to find me in three days. I don't need to drive these days."
After thanking Shi Hanquan, Chen Qiangwei returned to Huaihua Brigade. She walked a little slowly on the way because she was worried.
Wang Xiaomai and Gu Sannai were extremely anxious at home. Doing business privately was illegal, and if they were discovered and reported, they would be sent to a labor camp.
If it weren't for Sister Weiwei/Girl Qiangwei saying that the person she knew was reliable, they wouldn't have trusted her to do it. And now, she's been doing it for over a year and everything has been fine.
Just as the two were about to go find Gu Aiguo, Chen Qiangwei finally came in pushing her bicycle.
Gu Sannai patted her chest and said, "Finally you're back. If you hadn't come back, my headache would have come back."
Wang Xiaomai quickly went forward and hugged Chen Qiangwei, saying fearfully, "Sister Weiwei, we won't do this anymore. We'll kill the female rabbits after they give birth to baby rabbits and eat their meat. We'll also kill the male rabbit tonight to improve our diet."
Chen Qiangwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Not really. I just came back a little late. And it wasn't that the deal was discovered. There were other reasons."
Although Wang Xiaomai and Gu Sannai breathed a sigh of relief, they were still a little worried.
Gu Sannai made the decision, "If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. We can't do this business anymore. Otherwise, even if we have money, we won't be able to spend it in the life."
Wang Xiaomai nodded and said, "Third Grandma is right. We have made a lot of money from selling rabbits during this period. It's enough."
Chen Qiangwei knew that the two of them were concerned about her, so she stopped discussing this topic with them.
She took out the money she had earned from selling the rabbit, and said with sparkling eyes, "Come on, let's divide the money!"
There were 24 yuan in total, both in coins and in whole bills, almost covering the entire table.
As per the old rules, Gu Sannai is in charge of the feeding and occasionally helps out with the care, which accounts for 30% of the income; Chen Qiangwei doesn't usually take care of the feeding work, she only takes care of sales, but the risk of sales is the highest, accounting for 20%; the feeding is basically done by Wang Xiaomai, who accounts for 50%.
After dividing the money, Chen Qiangwei told Gu Sannai and Wang Xiaomai about what she had gained from her trip to Nanshi today, including the possibility of working in Nanshi, but she did not mention that there were two job opportunities.
Because of what Sister Xiang Hong said, many people want to take over the job at the scrap collection station. If the son of the old man at the scrap collection station and Brother Qianjin were not comrades-in-arms, they would not be short of people for this job.
If Chen Qiangwei wanted it herself, there would be no problem, but transferring it to someone else was another matter. She didn't have the nerve to ask Brother Qian Jin and Sister-in-law Xiang Hong to do her a favor.
"This matter has not been decided yet, and the money required to buy a job is too much. I'm still considering it. Don't spread it outside."
This was mainly to remind Wang Xiaomai that she was a little fan of Chen Qiangwei. Whenever Chen Qiangwei did something good, she would be eager to share it with others, and would praise her even if she was a little bit good as much as ten times better.
Gu Sannai slapped her thigh and said, "Such a good opportunity, we must take it. Money is not a problem. It will pay off in two or three years, and all the rest will be profitable. How much do you need? I can lend you two hundred."
Gu Sannai's husband and grandson were both martyrs. They not only received food subsidies, but also monthly financial subsidies. She didn't spend much and basically saved most of it.
Wang Xiaomai nodded heavily. "Yes, this is a rare opportunity. Sister Weiwei, I have saved some money here and can lend it to you."
There was only sincere blessing and envy in Wang Xiaomai's eyes, without a trace of greed and jealousy. Chen Qiangwei felt that her trip to the countryside was not completely without gain, at least she gained two sincere hearts.
Chen Qiangwei was touched. "No need. I have the money here. It's just a little expensive. Besides, I'm used to staying in our Huaihua Brigade and don't really want to move."
What she didn't say was that she knew the direction of history and that the college entrance examination would be resumed the year after next. It would be nice to be a primary school teacher here, with simple staff, an uncomplicated environment, and plenty of free time.
Gu Sannai disagreed, "How can someone so young be so unmotivated? Besides, Xiaowu is also in the city. If you two work in the city, you can look after each other."
In Gu Sannai's view, a formal job means a stable job, and the government will take care of all the expenses related to birth, old age, sickness and death. Moreover, Gu Sannai naturally hopes that Chen Qiangwei and Gu Anyang can really get together. In her opinion, the two young people standing together are like the golden boy and jade girl beside the Bodhisattva, which is a perfect match.
Although the two are dating now, they are not together for a long time and there are many temptations outside, so accidents are inevitable.
Don't think she doesn't know that nowadays, regardless of gender, people are full of little tricks and schemes as long as they can benefit themselves.
After dinner, Chen Qiangwei propped up her pillow and thought.
She was serious when she said she didn't like to move. She had built such a huge family business in her previous life, and she was tired of the intrigues in the business world and just wanted a simple life.
However, something Third Grandma said touched her heart, and her chances of meeting Gu Anyang in the city would increase.
After much deliberation, Chen Qiangwei finally made up her mind that she wanted a job as a waitress in a state-owned restaurant!
