As soon as Wu Min came in, she asked where Jiang Yiming was. Mrs. Guan told her that Jiang Yiming was working in his room. She seemed very angry when she heard this, and her face turned green. She ran towards the room and saw Jiang Yiming painting the room with whitewash. She said to him:
"Yiming, didn't I tell you not to do this kind of work? Why are you here again? Come down quickly, we don't want to do this anymore, come home with me."
This kid is really embarrassing her. He can do anything else but has to do this, and he has to do it at an acquaintance's house. Isn't he deliberately trying to embarrass her?
He always looked down on these bricklayers, thinking that the work was dirty and tiring. She thought that this kind of work was only done by farmers. Even if Jiang Yiming was a temporary worker in the factory, even if he did not work, it was better than being a bricklayer.
When Jiang Yiming first came to the land, she talked to him, but he didn't listen and insisted on working with his own hands to earn money to support himself.
If she says she won't listen, then don't tell her. After all, those lands are outside the city, and no one except their family knows that Jiang Yiming is working on the land.
But I heard from others yesterday that they saw Jiang Yiming decorating the courtyard house for Xu Nuannuan. They are not only familiar with the Guan family, but also with many people here. If those people knew that Jiang Yiming had become a bricklayer, wouldn’t they laugh at him and Jiang Dongcheng to death?
"Yiming, come down and go home with me. We won't be able to do this anytime soon."
Jiang Yiming shook his head and stood on the scaffolding, refusing to come down.
"Mom, you really came. Why can't I do this job? Others can do it, so can I. I don't steal or rob. I earn my living with my own hands and my own strength. I have nothing to be ashamed of."
"No, you just can't do this kind of work. Remember, you're from the city. This kind of work is for people in the countryside. We don't do this."
The other two bricklayers in the room looked at Wu Min deeply, which clearly showed that he looked down on them.
Jiang Yiming said, "Mom, don't say that. I think this kind of work is quite enjoyable, and I enjoy doing it. You might think it's hard, tiring, and dirty, but that just proves how talented the people who do it are. They can do things that none of you can do."
When the two heard him say this, the depression that had just risen in their hearts immediately dissipated.
Wu Min didn't care about what they were thinking. She said impatiently, "Don't tell me so much. Do you know how much others look down on you for doing this kind of work? Our neighbors look down on you. Not only do they look down on you, they look down on our family too. How incompetent do you have to be to do this kind of work?"
"Mom, don't you know whether I have any skills or not? I can now build walls, plaster walls, build houses, and decorate houses. This is my ability. Just think about it, without construction people like us, many people would not be able to live in houses."
"So, do you still want to find a partner? If a girl knew you were doing this, who would be interested in you?"
"If you don't like her, don't bother. I won't marry her."
"What? What did you say?" Wu Min was completely annoyed. "You good-for-nothing, go home! Even if you continue to be a vagrant, I won't allow you to embarrass me here. You won't marry? If you don't marry, how can I have grandchildren?"
If her colleagues and sisters saw this again, she would be embarrassed.
She walked to the scaffolding and reached out to pull Jiang Yiming, but because Jiang Yiming was standing too high, she grabbed Jiang Yiming's trouser legs.
