When they reached the street, He Xiaojie looked back and said with a hint of envy, "Aunt, Yan Yiyi has such a bad temper, but she's quite capable. If she can find a job at the grain station, she won't have to worry about food in the future."
"Their family never had to worry about food."
He Ruixue put the things she bought into her bag, thinking about other things in her mind, with a serious expression on her face.
He Xiaojie thought she was angry and was afraid she would get angry and beat someone up, so she skillfully comforted her, "Isn't it just a temporary worker? She's not even as good as your fingernails. Besides, when she finds out about your job, she'll probably be so ashamed. Then I'll help you laugh back."
"That's because you don't understand Yan Yiyi. She's very narrow-minded. This time, I'm afraid she might even hold a grudge against you."
In fact, there was not much conflict between Yan Yiyi and He Ruixue at the beginning, they just disliked each other unilaterally.
When she was in her second year of high school, a classmate scolded her behind her back for being pretentious. Later, Yan Yiyi found out about it. A few days later, she started shouting in class, falsely accusing the classmate of stealing her newly bought scarf.
It happened that the original owner saw her stuffing the scarf into the drawer and was too lazy to care about it, but she was happy to see Yan Yiyi get humiliated, so she exposed her in front of the teacher.
Since neither side had any concrete evidence, the teacher chose to settle the matter peacefully and asked the false accuser and the defendant to each go back and write a 2,000-word self-criticism.
In fact, most students of this era are simple-minded, and their minds are focused on how to learn knowledge and build the motherland. But Yan Yiyi is really narrow-minded and can't stand seeing her being proud. In addition, the original owner is not easy to mess with, so she retaliated against her several times.
Many small conflicts accumulated, and her hatred gradually deepened. She wished she would disappear right where she was.
He Ruixue held her chin in her hand, strolled past the bus stop, and walked in a different direction. "Yan Yiyi lives in Bailin Street, not far from your home. My sister-in-law often goes to the nearby grain station. She also knows the leaders. I'm afraid that our family will have trouble getting grain in the future."
We dare not fool around with the weight, but there is a lot that can be done about the old grain and the new grain, the broken rice and the good rice, the white flour and the moldy flour...
If they make a fuss, they will have no way to seek justice and will offend the entire grain station.
He Xiaojie looked confused. In her opinion, no one would make such a fuss over a small quarrel.
Seeing He Ruixue quicken her pace, she quickly caught up, "Aunt, where are you going?"
"I'm not a mean person and I never take revenge overnight. She even dared to point her finger at me and scold me. How could I let her off easily?"
In the plot, Yan Yiyi also contributed to the suffering of the original owner:
The heroine worked with her when she designed her to marry a domestic violence man. Only the letter forged by an acquaintance could make the original owner defenseless. Afterwards, Yan Yiyi spread the news widely, forcing the original owner to compromise.
Until the original owner was hacked to death, she started to spread rumors after attending the funeral, saying that the original owner was restless when she was a widow, worked as a secret servant, and had ambiguous relationships with several men, and she spared no effort to ruin her reputation after her death.
Therefore, when knowing that the other party has malicious intentions, He Ruixue usually chooses to take action in advance to fundamentally eliminate possible troubles in the future and prevent them from happening.
In her opinion, it is a foolish thing to do to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost.
"So what are you going to do?"
"Of course I'll make her lose this job. Then I'll see what she can show off to me in the future."
"But she got her job through connections, so I'm afraid it won't be good..."
He Ruixue rolled her eyes at her and said, "I have my own way. If you don't like it, just go back. You look like a rat that's always looking back and forth. It's annoying to see you."
He Xiaojie: “…”
Her mother was wrong. Her aunt's temper was not much better than before she started working. She was even more reckless.
Well, she used to only show off her power at home, but now she attacks indiscriminately.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
He Ruixue stuffed everything in her hand into her hand, went to the grain station near Bailin Street, covered her face, randomly found a clever kid on the roadside, bribed him with a few pieces of candy, pointed to the group of aunties chatting under the tree, and asked him to go in and spread the news.
When he came back, she gave him another piece of cake and sent him away. Several aunts, carrying baskets, ran to the grain station at a sprint, excitedly.
"I heard there's food available today that doesn't require a ticket. Where is it?"
"At the back door, it looks like they haven't sold out yet. They're all good food. I'm lucky enough to have caught some today."
"Don't yell, there aren't many to begin with, not even enough for us to share."
A few people pushed through the crowd and rushed to the back door. After hearing what they said, the people who were originally queuing became interested and rushed forward like a swarm of bees.
The staff member who was counting the grain in the warehouse at the back heard the noise and was startled to see the huge crowd of heads blocking the door. He slammed the door and shouted, "What are you doing? You are not allowed in here. Get out!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the anger of the crowd. "I clearly heard that there is grain for sale here without tickets. You don't want to keep it all for yourself, do you? What's hiding in the pocket next to you? Take it out quickly!"
The staff's faces were grim. When the grain station had a monthly surplus, there was indeed a small amount of grain that did not require a ticket, but it was generally a benefit for their internal employees. Even the amount allocated to the leaders was limited. What were these irrelevant people doing here?
Amidst the pushing and shoving, several people pushed him aside and opened the bag at his feet, revealing white rice inside.
Everyone's enthusiasm was instantly ignited, and they desperately handed money to him, "Comrade, my family is in financial difficulty, my wife has no milk, and my grandson is waiting for a mouthful of rice soup to survive."
"Comrade, my mother is old and just wants to eat something soft. Could you please be so kind as to sell it to me first?"
"Whoever squeezed me, my shoes fell off!"
"Comrade, do you have any millet that doesn't require a ticket? Go to the back and get some more."
"What are you arguing about! Stand still! You're trying to rob me!"
The staff member happened to be a leader of medium status. He immediately asked someone to call the security department to maintain order and make them calm down.
Considering the impact, he changed his expression and softened his tone, "Comrades, you have misunderstood. All employees of our grain station need grain coupons to buy grain. How can there be grain without coupons? Otherwise, what is the meaning of the rations stipulated by the state?
As for this rice, I have already counted it and plan to put it into the warehouse. If you need it, please go to the front and queue up."
As he spoke, he picked up the bag and poured all the rice inside into the wooden barrel at the grain station in front of everyone.
He waved his hand, "Alright, go back. The leader said we should seek truth from facts. Don't come here just based on hearsay. If you dare to do it again, you will be charged with robbing state property and handed over to the Security Department for handling!"
After a mixture of threats and intimidation, the gathered crowd gradually dispersed, and the few aunties who first started the conversation had already run away.
Holding the light empty bag in his hand, the staff member felt heartbroken. Those were his benefits for this month, and they were all gone.
He smacked his lips and thought, "I need to ask the leadership to get a few more people to investigate this matter and find out what's going on."
If it is a bad element who deliberately incites the masses, he must take it seriously.
