"Don't they know what I do? What's the point of pretending to be rich? Who knows how people will laugh at me behind my back."
"It's just politeness. You're not as good as them, and yet you're putting yourself out there. They're hanging out with you because of me. Do you really want them to lower themselves and talk to you? Don't think too highly of yourself."
Zhao Dashan was really annoyed. "It's not my place to go. Just because of you, I rushed here right after get off work without even changing into my work clothes. And you still say that to me..."
"You're the one who feels the most wronged, but I don't. Before I got married, I was the best among my sisters. Who wouldn't flatter me? Now, they're talking about what big things they've bought for the family and how promising their children are. Do I feel good listening to them?
But I can't help it. Your second brother is unemployed, and his daughter, Dani, has gone to the countryside. You've been worried about her all day and can't sleep well. I have to put on a smile and build relationships, asking them to help connect you. Do you really think I can be so proud just sitting there and being laughed at by them? "
Thinking of the mocking eyes and implicit ridicule of her old friend, Du Chunhua felt so ashamed and angry that tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously.
Her family conditions are good, but her parents are old-fashioned. It is already very good for her, a married daughter, to be able to give her a good job. As for letting her brother-in-law come over, it is absolutely impossible.
She treated Zhao Erhe as just an ordinary relative, and she decided to risk her reputation just because she couldn't bear to see Zhao Dashan so worried. But this guy still didn't understand, which really pissed her off.
Zhao Dashan was stunned. How could he have thought of this? He just thought that since his wife took him everywhere to eat, he definitely couldn't lose face for her.
He felt that if he bent down to toast like a grandson, it would not look good for his wife, so he just tried to act more confident. Who knew that she would misunderstand that he didn't care.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought... well, wife... I was wrong."
The more anxious he became, the harder it was for him to speak, and he even started stuttering.
They are an old couple, and Du Chunhua can tell what he means from his eyes.
"Never mind. I'm not really angry. Actually, today went pretty smoothly. An old classmate told me there's a new factory hiring and I think he could give it a try."
When the neighbors heard this, they all gathered around her to ask questions. Du Chunhua just smiled and didn't reveal a word.
What a joke. She even treated people to dinner and drinks to get information, which was not easy. These people wanted to get benefits from her without paying a penny. How could it be so easy?
Wang Taozhi handed them two red eggs. "Here, these are for you. I wish you a happy marriage. Don't stand outside anymore."
She was just expecting the two of them to quarrel to the point of disaster, preferably to the point of wanting to go back to her parents' home. However, Zhao Dashan and his wife always played by their own rules and would reconcile in the middle of the quarrel.
It's so boring.
Du Chunhua had no idea what she was thinking. He took the egg and started to say auspicious words, "Sister Wang, you've become a grandmother now. Congratulations. Your family is thriving and your children are promising. Your grandson needs your guidance. Maybe he can become a cadre in the future."
"Hahaha, Xiao Du is still the most pleasing to the ear. Come, let's go inside and talk."
Du Chunhua was a little confused, but he followed them into the house. Wang Taozhi put the empty bowl aside and said mysteriously, "Xiao Du, is the new factory you mentioned the newly opened glass factory?"
"Did you receive the news too?"
"We found out in April. Dongbao used his connections and said he could get both Xiaotuan and Lu Lan in."
Du Chunhua was full of surprise. He got the news right after the factory was built, and was even able to arrange for two people to go in. He Ruixue had quite a network of contacts, at least she had a certain weight in the municipal government.
"Doesn't your Xiaotuan have a job? What are you doing there?"
"He's tired of his dad controlling him all the time and wants to move to another place."
Du Chunhua rolled his eyes in his heart. A grown man was so pretentious. He was well off. If he were in the old He family, would he dare to have such an idea? Wang Taozhi would break his legs.
"So Sister Wang asked me to come here..."
"Oh, our Xiaotuan is going to the new factory, so the job at the textile factory will be vacant. We are all neighbors, so we should think of our own people when there is a benefit. Do you have any ideas? It's okay if you don't. You have many connections, so you can help introduce us to a reliable buyer."
In fact, He Xiaotuan originally planned to transfer there horizontally, just changing jobs, but he has been too active in recent months, often going to the glass factory to show his face, helping to make telephone poles, install lines, and debug lights and equipment.
A leader thought that this young man was very motivated, so he asked him to join the team of electrical engineers hired by the construction team to do odd jobs and learn.
He Xiaotuan was so excited to have the free learning opportunity. He Ruixue was promoted so quickly. She was younger than him, but her achievements were much higher than his. How could he not be envious?
So He Xiaotuan changed his previous laziness and absorbed knowledge like a sponge. After returning, he also asked He Chunsheng for advice. Later, the father and son studied together.
His efforts were fruitful. The factory leaders saw his abilities and heard the engineer admit that he was talented and his skills were improving rapidly, reaching the level of a third-level electrician. They immediately decided to let him join the factory.
The electricians in the construction team will be taken away, and it will be difficult to find comrades as diligent and enthusiastic as him if they recruit again.
In addition, He Xiaotuan had participated in the factory's circuit planning and was quite familiar with the factory lines. If he came to inspect in the future, he would have some advantages over others, so naturally he had to stay.
He Xiaotuan was cautious here and did not tell him that he had a job. He planned to transfer the work at the textile factory to others later, which would be another huge income.
When the time comes, I will take half for myself and give half to my sister-in-law. Hehe, how nice.
As for the fact that he was found to have a job when his files were later retrieved, that was easy to explain.
He was so excited at the time that he only wanted to come to the glass factory. However, he was afraid that his superiors would not let him go, so he quit his original job on impulse. What else could others say?
"real?"
Du Chunhua almost couldn't control her voice, did she have any ideas? She had too many,
"Sister Wang, thank you for thinking of me. Who wouldn't want such a good job? He'll be an electrician after getting the job. What will he do without a certificate?"
"I'm an electrician. There's no rush for a certificate. I'm just an apprentice. I asked Lao He to help me find a reliable master. If I can get the certificate within a year, it's fine. If not, I can transfer to another department."
“The electrician is pretty good.”
Although she felt a little sorry that He Chunsheng did not come to teach her personally, she also understood that his status in the factory was rising steadily, and he had recently become close to the deputy director.
He refused to accept the deputy director as his disciple in the past. His standards must be higher now, so there is no chance for them.
"Well, Sister Wang, what do you think of my Yongzi?"
As for her unemployed brother-in-law, she had long forgotten about him.
She would only give up such a good opportunity to an outsider if her head was kicked by a donkey.
