He Ruixue probably understood what she was thinking, but she felt nothing wrong. She would never punish herself for the mistakes made by others.
The original owner had been suppressing He Xiaojie, letting her get used to it, fawning over him, and praising him to death, which made her even more lawless.
In a sense, they are the kind of people who are willing to fight and be beaten, and they deserve what they deserve.
As expected, people’s social interactions are all downwardly compatible. As the best person in the family, the original owner was surrounded by good people.
He Xiaojie is really adaptable. She was bullied but did not complain at all. Instead, she greeted the culprit with a smile.
This kind of psychological quality will surely make you a great person in the future.
She raised her chin modestly and said indifferently, "It's nothing. It was just a coincidence. A classmate passed the word on my behalf. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten this job."
Turning around, she imitated the original owner's tone, lowering her gaze with a hint of ridicule, "As for you, forget it. It's lucky your parents can arrange for you to work in the textile factory."
He Xiaojie: “…”
I endure it.
She took a breath. Hadn't she gotten used to it a long time ago? He Ruixue had always treated her as a servant, and she felt in her heart that she was not as good as her.
Humph, apart from her looks, how is she worse than my aunt?
It just so happened that I was not born in my grandmother's womb.
She had no time to be angry. She was worried about her job. The situation outside was so serious and jobs were scarce.
She had seen her parents try every possible way to find a job for He Ruixue, but they couldn't find one that satisfied her. Let alone her, her family would never spend a lot of money to buy her a job.
He hurriedly flattered her, "Auntie, congratulations on finding a golden rice bowl. If you work hard in the future, you can become a leader and won't have to worry about anything. But I haven't found anything yet."
"You have to figure out your own work. If you don't do your best, what does it have to do with me?"
She gritted her teeth secretly, but her smile became more and more sincere. "Auntie, think about it, if I go to the countryside, who will clean the house, who will run errands for you, who will take care of you?"
He Ruixue is a lazy girl. She doesn't even know how to fold her clothes. She just stuffs them into the closet and doesn't wear them until they get too wrinkled. Her mother was unhappy and scolded her a few times, and then assigned this job to her.
Not only that, she was the one who made the bed, folded the quilt, swept the floor and wiped the table. They lived in the same room, but she lived like a maid beside the young lady, and she almost slept on the footstool in the middle of the night to help her keep watch.
At school, He Ruixue was too lazy to go to the cafeteria, so she would run over and have the food heated up and brought to her. She couldn't leave during meals, so she had to help pour water and collect the bowls...
Can a person who is lazy all over his brain adapt to work?
Those colleagues won't indulge her.
He Ruixue held her chin and thought, "You have a point, but I can't arrange for you to work in my unit."
There is hope.
He Xiaojie's eyes sparkled. "I don't have to work with you. As long as I don't go to the countryside, I can still help you with the work at home. Aunt, think of a way."
"What can I do..."
"You must have~"
She tugged at her sleeve, muffled her voice, and listened to He Ruixue with goosebumps on her skin. "You're so capable that you can even get into a department store. You're obviously well-informed and well-connected. If you just give me a hand, I'll wash your socks from now on!"
During her time at her grandmother's house, she fully experienced what life in the countryside was like, even though she was just a guest and didn't have to work.
She has an older sister who she has been good friends with since childhood and lives next door. She went to the countryside for two years and came back last year. The skin on her hands was rougher than her mother's, and she looked haggard and silent, completely different from the cheerful and playful girl she used to be.
She would rather die than go to the countryside.
"Okay, okay, let go first. I'll help you find out. But don't put all your hopes on me, or you'll be dumbfounded when the Youth League Office sends you a notice."
She smiled widely, "Thank you, aunt, I knew you were the most righteous!"
Seeing that her hair was almost dry, He Xiaojie took off the towel and went to Wang Taozhi to ask, "Mom, is your factory hiring soon?"
"No, I've already had someone keep an eye on you. You're a high school student, so you should be able to work in the logistics department. However, the factory isn't hiring this year, not even for textile workers."
"Isn't your factory doing well?"
"Who knows? I heard it's because of a cotton production reduction and a problem with the raw material supply."
Wang Taozhi washed the foam off the ground and sighed, "We still have some money at home, but we can't spend it all on you alone. If you can find someone willing to sell their job, as long as it doesn't exceed 300, we'll help you out."
"What kind of job can I get with 300 yuan?"
She heard that even a regular street sweeper pays four hundred yuan these days.
After all, she is a high school graduate. She can't just become a temporary worker. That job has no security. She has to go to the countryside when it's time.
"That's good, and you picked one. If you really don't want to go to the countryside, I'll help you find someone and marry you off."
He Xiaojie was about to cry, her words full of resentment, "I'm only a child, and you're already thinking about me getting married. Are you my real mother?"
Lingzi from their class just didn't want to go to the countryside, so she hurriedly found someone to marry. Her husband's family looked down on her for not having a job, and kept ordering her to work and not letting her have enough to eat.
The last time I saw her near the grain station, Lingzi looked haggard and had lost a lot of weight. She was dragging the family's food with difficulty and fell several times. She was so weak that she couldn't even breathe. Her family members just watched coldly and no one helped.
Lingzi's grades were obviously better than hers, but she ended up like this. She felt a chill all over her body just thinking about it, and she definitely didn't want to have a similar ending.
Perhaps her reaction was too intense. Wang Taozhi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Mom was just joking with you. Why are you so anxious? If things really don't work out, I'll step down and let you take over."
He Xiaojie was stunned and asked, "Really?"
"How else can we send you to the countryside? Your father and I both came from the countryside and know how hard it is there. How could we bear to let you go? We don't know how long you'll be able to come back. You're so young, how many days can you afford to waste?"
Her tone was calm, and it seemed that she had already made plans.
Seeing this, He Xiaojie was embarrassed to accept it. "Then give me your job. What about He Xiaoyou..."
"Your brother is still young, there's no need to rush."
At worst, they could save more money in the next few years. She didn't believe that they couldn't buy a job.
He Xiaojie stood there at a loss, her expression changing constantly. She felt flattered and inexplicably moved.
She originally thought she was the least valued one in the family, and could only follow her aunt around to make a living. Unexpectedly, her mother had already made plans for her, even giving up her good job.
"Mom, I..."
Wang Taozhi waved her hand. "Don't be so pretentious. You finally came back, you should eat something good to replenish yourself. Do you want some mixed noodles?"
"I want to eat, thank you, Mom!"
"Let me think about it. Oh, we don't have enough soybean paste at home. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get some. You can stay home and chat with my aunt."
He Ruixue let go of the handlebars and said, "Sister-in-law, go ride your bike and come back early."
"Um."
