Wang Hongmei's face stiffened. This little brat knew that the injury was related to them; was she threatening her?
"Auntie, I'm fine, it's just... just... an accident..."
While stammering, he kept glancing at Wang Hongmei and her son. Anyone could see that it was definitely related to them. Wang Hongmei was naturally aware of it too. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she really didn't dare to say anything. After all, whether it was the annulment of the engagement, her work, or the simple head injury, she was in the wrong.
The neighbors upstairs and downstairs were still gossiping around me, and their voices were quite loud.
"Jian girl, was it Wang Hongmei who hurt you?"
This area is almost entirely factory grounds, and the residential buildings are all close together, overlapping each other. Even if you're not exactly familiar with each other, you'll basically see each other all the time.
"That old woman is no pushover. Dandan, is she taking advantage of you because there are no adults in your family?"
"Yeah, isn't her son just Duan Duan's fiancé?"
"Hey, I heard it from beginning to end. They came to break off the engagement and don't want to give their job back."
"What? Break off the engagement? That's so inconsiderate!"
"That's right. I remember my father-in-law saying that back then, we helped the Jian family a lot, but the Lin family insisted on getting engaged. Because of the engagement, the old man of the Jian family even arranged two full-time jobs for them."
"My God, the Lin family is too greedy! Those two permanent employees are so hard to come by, they earn at least fifty or sixty yuan a month."
Wang Hongmei's face turned bright red, and Lin Jianshe couldn't bear to watch.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This young lady is useless; she can't do anything. Besides my family, who else would want her?"
At this time, the rumors outside weren't too serious yet, but there were already signs. Old Master Jian was a kind and generous man, and many people had benefited from his kindness, so the neighbors immediately became unhappy.
"Wang Hongmei, your child doesn't understand anything, yet he comes out spouting nonsense?"
"That's right, who doesn't know that Grandpa Jian donated all his assets to the country? The government even gave him a certificate of merit, didn't they, little Jian?"
While these aunties were at the mercy of the battlefield, Jian Dan took the opportunity to recover her strength and quickly answered the questions asked.
“Auntie, you remember it even better than I do. That’s right, my grandfather’s and my maternal grandfather’s certificates of merit are hanging on the wall of my house.”
Wang Hongmei stopped her son, knowing that although they had successfully annuled the engagement today, it would cost them a lot of money.
Thinking about it, she forced a smile.
"Oh dear, Dandan, you've misunderstood Auntie. I was just speaking in the heat of the moment and didn't explain myself clearly. How could Auntie be such an ungrateful person? Come, come, let Auntie help you inside, and we'll talk things over properly."
Seeing her gritting her teeth while forcing a smile, I figured she was nearing her limit. I decided to go out and see what the way out was, not wanting to provoke her too much, so I reluctantly went inside.
Seeing that Jian Dan was no longer a dough ball to be kneaded at will, Wang Hongmei stopped pretending and directly asked her what she wanted to do.
I quickly flipped through the original owner's memories. Those two jobs were permanent positions at the steel factory. When I first started, it cost 22 yuan a month. After five or six years, it had risen to 28 yuan. Not to mention the various benefits, I wasn't planning on asking for an exorbitant salary.
“Those two are both permanent employees. If you give the quota back to me, I will keep it. If you want the job, you can exchange it for money. It's equivalent to buying the job. I won't ask for more than three years' salary.”
Wang Hongmei certainly couldn't do that; once the money was in her hands, could she possibly get it back?
"No, that's too much. Dandan, you know, Auntie has such a big family, and food and drink all cost money."
"It started at 22 yuan a month, and in less than two years it rose to 28. Not to mention other receipts and various benefits, you all know how much the salary has been over the years. I only ask for three years' worth, which is not much."
If you can't decide for yourselves, then I'll find someone to help you decide. This job should be quite in demand.
Don't feel like you've been taken advantage of. Besides work, how much have you benefited from using my family's name over the past five or six years? Do I need to spell it out? Just the title of "my fiancé" alone must have earned you more than this salary, right?
Wang Hongmei and her son exchanged a glance, and her smile vanished instantly. Lin Jianshe's eyes, on the other hand, were filled with a chilling glint.
How did you know?
"What, you want to fight? Do you think the people outside will let you leave if something happens to me?"
"Mom, I need to talk to Dandan. Please wait a moment."
As he spoke, Lin dragged Jian Dan into a room. The poor young lady, a simple steamed bun left her utterly defenseless. He slammed the door shut and immediately gripped her throat tightly, his vicious gaze no different from that of someone looking at an enemy.
"Tell me, what else do you know?"
"I don't know what you are? What should I know...? I naturally know everything I should know."
With a forceful pull, she was instantly unable to breathe. It had been so many years since she had felt this suffocating. After being kidnapped as a child, she trained her martial arts skills relentlessly. Who would have thought that one day she would have someone choking her?
The air was getting thinner and thinner, and there was murderous intent in Lin Jianshe's eyes. He wasn't trying to scare her. At this moment, Jian Dan had no other thoughts. She missed her weapons room and her stun gun terribly. In just a few breaths, the roof seemed to be starting to blur.
A simple, desperate thought: was she sent into this world just to experience the feeling of being strangled again?
In a daze, I suddenly felt something in my hand. The familiar touch made me instinctively reach for the switch without thinking. I pushed it forward, and instantly, a rush of air filled my throat. The man opposite me twitched and collapsed to the ground.
To be honest, I never expected him to be so bold as to actually kill someone.
However, looking at the familiar thing in her hand, where did it come from? She remembered that it was on the shelf in her armory. Suddenly, the environment changed, and she found herself in the very familiar armory. After more than 20 years of socialist scientific education, the young lady was still a novel enthusiast. She quickly made a connection to something from a novel: space.
Thinking about it, she looked around. This was the weapons room, so what was outside the door?
He gently pushed open the door, clasped his hands in devout prayer for a long time, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Oh my god!"
Is this really her family's base?
On one side is a huge warehouse of tens of thousands of square meters, and on the other side is her own boundless pollution-free farm. Next to it is her own rolling hills. The stream next to the farm is her favorite place to go.
The excited young lady ran around several times, pinching her thighs until they were covered in purple welts, before she finally dared to believe that this overwhelming wealth had truly fallen into her lap. Although it all belonged to her family in her previous life, this was the 1960s! Wasn't this blatant cheat code? The standard for a powerful female protagonist?
I laughed wildly at the sky several times before I was finally able to calm down and take stock of my current situation.
I don't know if my life will follow the same trajectory as my past life, but I still need to plan accordingly.
