"What do you mean by 'the same treatment as us'? Why is she treated like this?"
"Yeah, what gives her the right to do that?"
Why should I suffer while Chen Ruixue enjoys a life of luxury, while I'm treated badly?
I just can't understand it, I'm just angry, I just hate it.
When it was time to leave work, Chen Ruixue, who had just finished tidying up, was ready to go home.
Xiao Xu and Xiao Huang stopped Chen Ruixue.
"Xiao Chen, don't go yet, bring me your lunchbox."
Chen Ruixue was puzzled, but she still took out the lunchbox she had brought for lunch, since everyone brings their own lunch these days.
When you don't have enough meal tickets, bringing your own food from the cafeteria is the best solution.
Xiao Xu took her lunchbox and immediately picked out the egg with a cracked shell from the straw next to it.
I cracked the eggs open and poured the yolks one by one into the lunchbox.
"Not many eggs broke today, a total of 28. Nine for each of us, and the extra one is for you. You need to eat more nutrition since you're heavily pregnant."
Xiao Xu then pointed to the two lunch boxes next to him.
Chen Ruixue knew that their chicken farm canteen would occasionally serve steamed egg custard or scrambled eggs, which were all from broken eggs from the chicken farm.
But these days, life is tough for everyone, and sometimes even broken eggs have to be sent to other canteens.
I heard that it's only for the sake of exchanging a little bit of money, but now the factory workers aren't even getting the subsidy for broken eggs.
It seems to have been since three processing plants opened next to their farms.
The demand was so high that people couldn't keep up with the demand for their broken eggs.
Therefore, even broken eggs from chicken farms can't fill their own stomachs; they have to generate economic benefits.
Therefore, none of the chicken farms had eggs.
On the contrary, the eggs that have already been selected in their packaging workshop are bound to be bumped and knocked a second time when they arrive here.
Chen Ruixue looked at the eggs in the lunchbox in surprise. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Xu and Xiao Huang smiled.
"It's inevitable that Xiao Chen's packaged eggs will get bumped and scratched, but the factory manager allows it."
Chen Ruixue immediately understood that this must have been tacitly agreed upon in private.
My heart warmed.
It seems Liu Xuemei has been very good to me. In return, she has given me this job, which not only provides me with good nutrition but also makes the work easier.
After finishing her shift, Chen Ruixue took the lunchbox and ran straight to the boiler room.
She bumped into a tall, thin man at the entrance of the boiler room. He paused for a moment when he saw Chen Ruixue.
The old man immediately came out to greet Chen Ruixue with a beaming smile.
"Ruixue, you've arrived."
She waved to the tall man.
"Let me introduce you, Xiao Li. This is my granddaughter."
“This is my granddaughter, Chen Ruixue.”
The man's eyes showed some surprise.
"You're Chen Ruixue?"
"What? You know me?"
Chen Ruixue was a little surprised, wondering why she saw some dissatisfaction and resentment in the man's eyes.
That shouldn't be the case; I don't even know this man in front of me.
"I don't know you. I've only heard Grandpa Chen mention his granddaughter often. I never imagined it was you."
The man suppressed his impatience. This woman was the nemesis his wife had mentioned—someone who was always scheming and knew how to please others.
This woman is like a vixen; she's not only good at getting things done, but she also knows how to kick someone when they're down and bully her own wife.
He will take care of this woman for his wife.
Chen Ruixue didn't say anything more, put the lunchbox in her grandfather's hand, and said in a low voice.
"Grandpa, this is for you! It will help you recover."
Eggs can be considered a nutritious food, especially in these days when every family is struggling to get enough to eat.
This stuff is definitely rarer than meat.
The old man opened the lunchbox lid and stared in astonishment at the egg liquid floating inside.
But then, as if remembering something, she turned to the tall man and said...
"Xiao Li, bring your lunchbox."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately went to get his lunchbox.
Chen Ruixue hurriedly said,
"Grandpa, you can't give these eggs away. If someone finds out, it'll be a big problem."
The old man sighed.
"You don't know that Xiao Li is also a pitiful person. His whole family was sent down here."
His wife went back to work when their baby was just a month old.
You have no idea how tough life is here; the combined income of two people is less than that of a single permanent employee.
The two of them tightened their belts but still couldn't get enough to eat; the wife had no milk, and the baby was crying loudly from hunger.
This child is already six months old, and he's so thin he looks like a little radish head.
They're all pitiful people. I know I'm a pushover, but I can't just watch a child starve to death.
The old man gritted his teeth.
Seeing Xiao Li's questioning gaze, she opened her lunchbox in front of him and poured half of the egg liquid into Xiao Li's lunchbox.
When Xiao Li saw the egg liquid, his eyes went from surprise to tears, and finally to overwhelming gratitude.
"Grandpa, please don't do this. You don't even eat as well as I do, and you always save up cornbread to help me out."
Your health has deteriorated a lot lately, and you've been coughing a lot; this can't go on. You can't give me this egg anymore.
"Alright, this is a gift from my granddaughter as a token of her filial piety. There may not be a next time."
This was just a coincidence.
You should take it back with the child.
Xiao Li stubbornly wanted to pour the eggs out of the lunchbox back into the container.
However, Chen Ruixue stopped her.
"Alright, Comrade Li, stop pushing and shoving. It's not good if people see us doing something like this."
My grandfather is right. Your child is still so young. Even if not for your own sake, you should give him some extra nutrition. The child hasn't done anything wrong.
Chen Ruixue comforted herself by thinking of it as accumulating blessings for her child.
I don't know if it's because I changed jobs recently or because my work has become much easier, but the child doesn't seem to be making as much noise, and his reactions aren't as strong.
Xiao Li was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He took the lunchbox home, feeling a mix of emotions.
It seems that the nemesis my wife described isn't so bad after all.
At least they have compassion.
Xiao Wu was both surprised and delighted to see the eggs in her husband's lunchbox.
I took the lunchbox over and smelled it.
Even though it's a raw egg, they'd practically swallow it whole.
Where did you come from?
"Where else could it have come from? Wasn't it given to us by Grandpa Chen?"
For some reason, he didn't want to reveal that Chen Ruixue had given it to him; he felt that if he did, his wife wouldn't even want to eat the eggs.
"This old man Chen is such a good person. He usually helps us out, but I never expected him to help us with such a valuable thing."
I never expected that Old Master Chen was such a capable person. We were both sent down to the countryside, so why did he have such connections?
You should learn more from Old Master Chen.
Xiao Wu happily poured the eggs into a bowl, beat them, and prepared to steam a large bowl of egg custard, as the children and others needed nutrition.
