Chapter 14 You Are Really My Dad
Lu Dezhao closed the doors and windows and carefully explained to An Hui why he agreed to this marriage.

"Xiaocheng has been promoted too quickly and smoothly over the years. He's only 26 and already a battalion commander. The eldest brother was already in his 30s when he became a battalion commander. Although Xiaocheng earned this through his own military merits, in a family like ours, it's inevitable that people will gossip about him."

Anhui's anger subsided a little.

"At this moment, being too prominent is not a good thing. The Lu family needs to be stable now and cannot show up in the spotlight again, otherwise we will be in trouble. If necessary, it's okay to take a step back."

"To be honest with you, if it weren't for Xiaocheng's marriage, I would have planned to retire in a year or two under the pretext of illness."

An Hui calmed down completely. "Even if that's the case, there's no need to find someone so restless."

"So your son has taken a liking to this, what can we do? In my opinion, it's not a bad thing. The brat has had it easy since he was little, and he's been so arrogant. It's time for him to learn a lesson."

An Hui looked at her husband and said, "Since you agree to this marriage, why were you arguing with Xiao Cheng in the office this afternoon? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"I have to pretend, I have to let outsiders know that I am firmly against this marriage. It was the brat who made the mistake of insisting on marrying her. If his wife gets into trouble in the future, it has nothing to do with me. The brat will have to bear the consequences himself."

An Hui was speechless: "You really are my father!"

"Let's just act it out. I won't go to propose marriage. You stay with Xiaocheng, and I'll let Jiang Xiaoguang help out."

……

Early in the morning, Jiang Moli received a call from Lu Tingting, saying that she had arranged a job for her.

Jiang Moli ran to the place excitedly.

"Here, this is it. You'll start work tomorrow."

Jiang Moli stared at the sign with black letters on a white background above her head and fell into deep thought.

It could be a park or a cemetery, but it is a public toilet!
Yes, that’s right, the job Lu Tingting assigned her was to sweep the toilet!

She tried to struggle. "Don't you have any other job? We can still discuss the money."

Lu Tingting crossed her arms and smiled, a look of mischief on her face. "This is the only thing that can be arranged right away. Other work will have to wait. Can you afford to wait?"

Can't wait.

If you can't find a job within two days, you have to report to the Youth League Office.

Oh shit.

"I'll do it."

After Jiang Moli left, Wu Meixia was the first one to burst into laughter.

"Looking at her miserable look, she must have thought we were going to give her a nice office job, but she ended up sweeping toilets. She must be pissed!"

Song Ke: "For someone as shameless as her, asking her to clean the toilet is a compliment."

Lu Tingting snorted coldly, "She thought she could play smart in front of me, just wait and see how I deal with her!"

Lu Tingting and the other two deliberately arranged for Jiang Moli to sweep the toilet.

Although on the surface, the original owner had been dating Lu Tingting and the other two for several years, it was all one-sided and he was just being persistent.

In the eyes of Lu Tingting and the other two, Jiang Moli was an annoying plaster that was impossible to get rid of.

The three men agreed to find a job for Jiang Moli, not for the money, but to discipline Jiang Moli.

……

The next day, Jiang Moli got up early.

This was the earliest day she had woken up since she transmigrated into the book, but still not as early as Jiang Qing.

Unlike her usual simple attire, Jiang Qing dressed up today.

She wore a newly made dress, had her eyebrows drawn, and tied her long hair into a bow with a yellow handkerchief.

I have to say, it's pretty good.

Jiang Qing was not surprised at all that Jiang Moli got up early.

"Zhang's family won't arrive until around noon, you don't have to get up so early."

In Jiang Qing's opinion, Jiang Moli got up so early just to dress up to welcome the Zhang family's proposal.

To outsiders, Jiang Qing was giving a kind reminder.

But the fact is, Jiang Moli and Jiang Qing both knew that the person Zhang Jiaming was proposing to was Jiang Qing, so this reminder was very intriguing.

"I have my own reasons for getting up early, what's it to you?"

Jiang Qing smiled, looking generous and not bothering with her.

Jiang Moli rolled her eyes, washed up quickly and went out.

Jiang Qing curled her lips coldly at her back.

Jiang Moli, you won't be happy for many more days.

...While waiting for the bus, Jiang Moli took the time to go to the nearby bun shop and buy two vegetable buns.

As soon as I got the buns, the bus arrived at the station.

She could only hurriedly run into the car with the buns in her hand.

The carriage was as crowded as the morning rush hour subway in later generations. By the time Jiang Moli got off the train at her station, the two vegetable buns in her hands had been squeezed into two vegetable pancakes.

When she arrived at the public toilet, she was scolded like a dog by the old employee who was in charge of her.

Because she was 2 minutes late.

"The shop opens at 7:9 a.m. and closes at p.m. The floor and walls must be kept clean at all times, and the manure pit must be flushed every half an hour."

When the old employee was explaining the work process, Jiang Moli realized a problem belatedly: she still had to clean the men's restroom.

Damn, will I get stye?

I want to die.

……

In order to welcome the Zhang family's proposal, Jiang Dahai took a day off today and stayed at home.

He didn't see Jiang Moli at the breakfast table, but he didn't care, thinking that Jiang Moli was sleeping in.

After having breakfast and cleaning the house with the whole family, Jiang Dahai went to the inner room to call Jiang Moli to get up.

"Where's Jasmine? Where did she go?"

"She left early in the morning and didn't say where she was going."

Jiang Qing answered, and couldn't help but wonder what Jiang Moli was doing outside.

"It's such an important day today, and you're still running around everywhere. It really makes me worry."

Seeing Jiang Dahai getting angry, Li Hongying hurriedly said, "Maybe he went to his little sister's house to play? Let's go out and look for him."

Jiang Dahai stayed at home to take charge.

Jiang Qing, Jiang Peng and Li Hongying went out to look for Jiang Moli.

Jiang Moli discovered that although cleaning toilets was a dirty and tiring job, it was actually profitable.

Two pieces of straw paper made up a set and were sold for 1 cent.

Not everyone needs toilet paper, and there is no fixed amount of sales.

At most, they can earn a few cents a day. It is impossible for the leader to send someone to look after it just for these few cents.

Therefore, most of the income from selling toilet paper is eaten by public toilet cleaners like Jiang Moli.

If you spend 2 cents a day, that’s several dollars a month.

There is no need to worry about the accounts not matching. The market price of straw paper is 1 cent per dollar, and one dollar contains 100 sheets.

Just use straw paper to make up for the money you put in your pocket.

Jiang Moli was thinking about how to make money from toilet paper, and she had no idea that her family was looking for her and was almost going crazy.

Seeing that it was already past 10 o'clock and the Zhang family would arrive at any time, Jiang Dahai no longer had time to care about Jiang Moli. He quickly told Jiang Qing to boil water and prepare tea, and asked Li Hongying to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

At 10:, the Zhang family came to the door.

Walking in the front were Zhang Jiaming and Lu Cheng.

Both of them were dressed in neat military uniforms, with pine-like postures and firm eyes, which attracted a lot of attention.

Especially Lu Cheng beside Zhang Jiaming, who was as tall as a tower, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and an aura of majesty in his every move.

The military jacket with four pockets further highlights his unusual status.

Each of them was holding a bottle of sorghum wine.

Behind her, Jin Yulan was holding a heavy piece of pork, weighing at least three or four pounds.

The net bags in Zhang Tiesheng's left and right hands were filled with cigarettes and tea, while Zhang Jiaquan was carrying cakes and sugar.

It's obvious that he's coming to propose marriage.

Someone with a curious mind found out that they were going to Jiang's house. Word spread quickly, and soon the entire family compound of the machinery factory knew about it.

"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Li, this is my leader. He came with me today to propose marriage and be a witness."

Jiang Dahai noticed at a glance that Lu Chenghe's military uniform had four pockets, which meant he was at least a platoon leader.

Zhang Jiaming was able to invite such a person to propose marriage, which shows that he is a capable person.
