Chapter 245: Emergency assistance is acceptable, but poverty relief is not



Shen Weilu concentrated on eating: "Those are not what we can think about. Zhi Ning is well educated, beautiful and capable. Look at the two of us, we don't have much culture and no money. Thinking about those things is not as practical as making more money."

"I've already finished junior high school, which is much better than many soldiers."

Shen Weilu didn’t answer.

"Anyway, I don't want to marry someone from our village." Shen Yueyue said proudly.

Ever since she came to the city, she saw the prosperity of the city and saw the girls in the city dressed up beautifully every day. She no longer wanted to go back to the countryside and spend her days doing farm work.

Even if she marries a useless peasant, she will still have to take care of her parents-in-law and do farm work.

These days, you can see the end at a glance.

"Then let's work hard together to make money, and when we save some money, we can think about these things later." Shen Weilu said truthfully.

"I'll ask my sister to introduce me when the time comes. By then, I'll be Captain Song's sister-in-law, so I should be able to pick a good one." Shen Yueyue was full of longing, "Brother, how about we order some pork belly?"

Shen Weilu was a little embarrassed: “Yueyue, I heard you just bought a bicycle, and money is a bit tight, so let’s save some money.”

Shen Weilu earns fifty yuan a month, and because he is responsible for a lot of things and performs well, Jiang Zhining also gives him a commission of ten yuan a month.

I had only been working in the store for three months, and after adding up the miscellaneous expenses, I only had a dozen dollars left after buying the car.

So, he wanted to use it sparingly.

"How about we go and borrow some money from our sister?" Shen Yueyue suggested.

Brothers and sisters should help each other, and she felt that Jiang Zhining was not a stingy person.

Shen Weilu refused directly: "No. Zhi Ning has helped us so much, how can we borrow money from her. You have to put away your previous laziness and work hard here."

When she was in the village, Shen Yueyue didn't like to do farm work on her own initiative, and had to be urged by Lin Chunmei to work harder.

"Okay then." Shen Yueyue pouted and had to continue eating.

The next day, inside the family compound.

Jiang Zhining got up early and prepared breakfast for Song Yuzhou.

His vacation is officially over and he is about to start his busy work.

In the room, Jiang Zhining helped him put on his military uniform and brushed off the dust on his clothes.

"Don't work too hard today and walk less, especially for your arms," Jiang Zhining said with caution.

"Okay." Song Yuzhou stared at her face.

"Remember to bring your pager. I'll bring you some soup at noon. I'll contact you then."

"No, stewing soup is hard work."

Jiang Zhining raised her head, her eyes curved into crescents, and she leaned forward: "Kiss me and it won't be hard anymore."

Song Yuzhou looked at the beautiful face that enlarged in front of him, his face blushing shyly, and then he landed accurately on her lips.

Their lips touched, not a passionate kiss, but just as sweet.

After sending Song Yuzhou and the children home, Jiang Zhining walked back yawning.

She needs to catch up on some sleep before starting her busy life today.

At eleven o'clock, Jiang Zhining came to the small workshop.

Seeing her, Shen Yueyue came forward enthusiastically: "Sister, why are you here?"

"Sister." Jiang Zhining smiled and picked up the lunch box in her hand, "Add more food for everyone, let's take a rest first."

As he said that, he placed the lunch box on the dining table.

When they heard that more dishes were being served, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and walked towards Jiang Zhining.

"Zhi Ning, you are too polite."

"Yeah, you're the best boss I've ever had."

Jiang Zhining smiled and replied, "Of course, we are all sisters, there is no need to be so formal."

When Xia Haitang opened the box, she saw a series of delicious dishes.

Steamed fish, pork belly, kimchi, and stir-fried beef with green onions made everyone drool.

So everyone quickly poured themselves a big bowl of rice.

"I heard from Sister Zhilan that everyone has been working overtime until late recently. Thank you for your hard work. This is a reward for everyone." Jiang Zhining said with a smile.

"It's my duty. We don't work for nothing." Aunt Qin said cheerfully while eating, "I can work overtime."

"So do we."

Jiang Zhining looked at Shen Yueyue: "Sister, are you used to working here?"

"Not bad." Shen Yueyue ate the meat, "Sister, your pork belly is really delicious."

"Eat more if you like it." Jiang Zhining said friendly.

While they were eating, Jiang Zhining took out her pager and sent a message to Song Yuzhou.

Shen Yueyue looked at the gadget in her hand curiously: "Sister, what is this?"

"This is a pager, used for communication." Jiang Zhining explained simply.

"I know this, it's very expensive." Aunt Chen took a look and said.

Seeing that Jiang Zhining did not deny it, Shen Yueyue's eyes were full of envy.

After getting in touch with Song Yuzhou, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, take your time eating. I'll go to the army first."

Liu Zhilan joked, "Go find Captain Song?"

Jiang Zhining smiled and replied, "Not entirely. I made some bone marrow soup for him to nourish him, and went to the cafeteria to collect the bill."

"Yes, it's time to collect the bills this month. I'll go get the purchase order and receipt for you right away." Liu Zhilan said, and hurried to the front desk.

After Jiang Zhining put away her things, she was about to leave when Shen Yueyue came running over and said, "Sister, can I go with you to the military camp?"

"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Zhining asked curiously.

"I just want to go there and see it for myself." Shen Yueyue pulled her hand and begged, "Can I?"

Jiang Zhining thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll ask Yuzhou."

After sending a message to Song Yuzhou and receiving a positive response, Jiang Zhining took Shen Yueyue and headed towards the troops.

"Sister, why don't you buy a car? It's so hard to walk." Shen Yueyue asked in confusion.

Jiang Zhining chuckled: "I like to take a walk occasionally, just as exercise, and it's not far."

"You are the wife of the group leader, and you still have so much money. You should know how to enjoy it." Shen Yueyue took her hand, "By the way, sister, before I go to the barbecue restaurant, can you settle my salary here?"

"Okay." Jiang Zhining agreed readily.

"Sister, your skin is so good, so smooth, tender and white. I want to be like you. When the time comes to buy those facial masks, if I don't have enough money, can you lend me some?" Shen Yueyue asked a little embarrassedly.

Jiang Zhining was stunned for two seconds, then declined politely: "If that's the reason, I can't agree. It's okay to want to be beautiful, but borrowing money to buy these skin care products is unnecessary."

When hearing this, Jiang Zhining vaguely felt that Shen Yueyue now seemed to have become more concerned with beauty and appearance.

A trace of depression flashed in Shen Yueyue's eyes: "I just thought, we are sisters. In our village, relatives all borrow money from each other, it's normal."

"Whether they are relatives or brothers and sisters, you can help them in emergencies, but you can't help them out of poverty. You can earn money through labor with your own hands. After all, borrowing and repaying money hurts the relationship." Jiang Zhining said seriously.

Her willingness to help the Shen family doesn't mean she is willing to be exploited and sucked dry by them.

Looking at her, Shen Yueyue suddenly felt that Jiang Zhining was not as good as she had imagined.
