When Yang Mumu was cooking dinner in the kitchen, she heard a knock on the door.
There must be news about what she told Aunt Wang.
She put down the kitchen knife and hurried out to open the door.
"Here I come."
When she opened the door, it was not Aunt Wang, but the director of the Youth League Office who had just separated from her. He was standing at the door with a smile on his face, and there was a strange aunt next to him, who was also looking at her with a smile.
Open the door and invite them in to sit.
"Director, do you have any other instructions? Is there anything else that has not been dealt with in the countryside?"
Director Zhang waved his hands a little embarrassedly: "No, no, it's not about going to the countryside. There is no problem with the countryside. Everything is going according to the normal process. Your sister and I came here today because of a personal matter."
"Let me talk." Director Zhang's wife Liu Ying saw that Director Zhang was hesitating and pushed him aside and said directly, "My daughter, I heard that you are going to handle the cashier work of the machinery factory. We want to ask you, how much are you going to change? To be honest, I am willing to help my daughter change it, and the price is negotiable."
As soon as the words fell, there was another knock on the door, interrupting the conversation.
"I'm sorry, Miss Liu and Director Zhang, I'll go open the door first." Yang Mumu smiled apologetically and turned around to open the door.
Director Zhang and Liu Ying in the room suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
"You must be someone who wants to buy a job." Liu Ying glared at him angrily. "What a great opportunity it was when you were in the Youth Educated Office. You should have told her then. You wasted it. Now the competition is fierce. You pig-headed!"
"Yes, yes, blame me."
Director Zhang didn't dare to talk back. If he really didn't go back to discuss such a big matter, he would definitely be scolded even more miserably later. Women's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea.
Liu Ying poked her head out and looked at the person coming in. She saw that it was an old acquaintance, Xia Hong, who had a bad relationship with her in the unit. She immediately became very motivated, rolled up her sleeves and put her hands on her waist. She was already very aggressive and said to Director Zhang:
"Stand aside while I talk."
"Okay, come on."
Director Zhang felt his wife's momentum, so he shut his mouth and sat obediently in his seat drinking water.
As soon as Xia Hong came in and saw the people in the room, her smiling face immediately turned stiff. She crossed her arms over her chest and spoke in a sour tone.
"Hey, Liu Ying, you're here too!"
Liu Ying sneered, sat on the bench and drank tea, looking confident of victory:
"Xia Hong, if you can come, of course I can come too. I'll be the first one to arrive."
The subtext is: Don't compete with me, because I'm afraid of you.
Yang Mumu saw that the two were full of hostility and seemed to dislike the other, so he immediately came up with a plan.
She took two steps behind and whispered in Aunt Wang's ear, "Aunt, go get the other seller here. I'll give you an extra 5 yuan on top of the 5 yuan I paid you before. Be quick. Whether you can make more money depends on now."
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up, as if she saw money in them. Ten yuan, half a month's salary, she had to get it. "Okay, I'll go right away. Wait for me, ten minutes."
Aunt Wang was very active and ran out quickly.
Yang Mumu looked at Aunt Wang who was walking away, smiled faintly, and led Miss Xia into the house to sit down. Seeing that she and Director Zhang's wife were glaring at each other and neither of them could stand the other, she smiled secretly in her heart, buried her head in pouring tea, and prepared to kill some time.
"Miss Xia, have some tea. You guys sit here for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to check the fire. I'm still cooking. I'll be back soon after I change the coal. It'll be quick." Yang Mumu smiled apologetically at them.
"It's okay, you go quickly, we came at the wrong time." Liu Ying waved her hands. It was indeed their problem. The child was home alone and it was the perfect time to cook. They were rash.
Director Zhang also nodded behind him.
Xia Hong immediately said, "Yes, yes, Mu Mu, go ahead. It's okay. We should wait here as long as we want."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Yang Mumu ran back to the kitchen. It wasn't to procrastinate, but she really needed to check the fire, the pot, and the stove. She couldn't let her egg custard and rice get ruined.
She lifted the lid of the pot to check on the rice steaming, then looked at the burning of the coal briquettes, cleared out the burnt ash under the stove, adjusted the size of the fire, hesitated for 3 minutes, washed her hands, and saw that the time was almost up.
Let me finalize the work first. The meal will be almost ready, so it won’t be too late to come back and cook then.
Yang Mumu returned to the main room and saw the two ladies still standing there fighting with each other, just like fighting hens.
She called:
"Ladies, please sit down and chat slowly. We are all here for one thing, so I will talk about my job first."
Xia Hong sat down and said domineeringly: "Mu Mu, we all know the details of the work, just tell me how much you plan to pay, I want it."
Liu Ying couldn't stand her words and got angry: "What the hell do you want? I'm the first one here and I haven't said anything yet. You want everything. Do you want shit? I'll give it to you."
Later, Xia Hong was just as sharp-tongued and would curse back at those who didn't tolerate her.
"Liu Ying, you are so powerful, just poop in front of me. Mo Guang said he would not do it. You are the one who can't poop and blames Mao Si. So what if you are the first one to come? You still didn't succeed. You are occupying Mao Si but not pooping. Get out of here as soon as possible."
"You're the one who got back, you..."
Yang Mumu was disgusted by their abusive metaphor and was looking forward to Aunt Wang coming soon. The next moment, she heard a knock on the door, which decisively interrupted their quarrel.
"Ladies, please talk nicely. This is not the toilet. If you want to go to the toilet, go to the left. It's on the left side of the yard. If you don't want to go to the toilet, let's talk business first. I'll go open the door first."
The two people who were arguing stopped, and when they heard the noise outside, they became alert and glared at each other tacitly.
Both parties cursed in their hearts at the same time, it's all your fault, you're wasting time, now there's a new competitor.
Yang Mumu and Aunt Wang exchanged a knowing look with each other. She brought the person over and left quietly without entering the house.
Yang Mumu brought the new Uncle Li into the house, and the new person immediately changed the situation.
Uncle Li hadn't sat down yet. He glanced at the two families, then turned to Yang Mumu and said, "You name your price." Xia Hong and Liu Ying seemed calm and composed. They secretly said "not good", and made eye contact with each other, forming an alliance and preparing to face the outside world together.
The three families looked at each other and I was wary of you, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
