Quick Transmigration: Su Cha's Life in That Era
Chapter 97: The Ultimate Village Girl Who Repays Kindness with Ingratitude [25]
The people who came included not only the old man's son and daughter-in-law who wanted to buy a job, but also other sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.
Su Cha observed this discreetly.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she tiptoed over to the group of security guards and female workers who were watching the commotion and began to eavesdrop.
Those who come to watch the spectacle at this time, regardless of gender, are mostly gossipy people.
"Uncle, Auntie, are you implying that the Liu family is very powerful?"
"That's not true."
Several people started answering all at once.
"Old Liu is a blessed man with many children. He and his wife have eight children, five sons and three daughters, all of whom are married. Their daughters-in-law and sons-in-law are all workers in our factory. Isn't that amazing?"
"Moreover, Old Liu is shrewd and calculating, and his wife is also a good homemaker. The two of them live a very prosperous and successful life."
Su Cha was easily startled.
"That's amazing!"
My goodness!
"With so many people in their family, and all of them married, don't they ever separate their households?"
"They weren't assigned to any specific buildings; they all lived together. But there were too many people, so their family didn't live in the factory-allocated staff housing either. They rented out the staff housing to factory workers who didn't want to live in the dormitories anymore."
Their family lived in a large courtyard in Niu Niu Hutong; it was the biggest courtyard they owned.
"That's why I say Old Liu's wife is a good homemaker."
They had all their daughters-in-law under their thumb, and they also kept a tight grip on everyone's wages.
Now the grandchildren are up and running too. Look, the fourth child's kids have all graduated high school and are about to get jobs.
Su Cha chimed in from the sidelines, and the older women and men kept talking.
When Su Weimin pulled Su Cha back into the discussion, Su Weimin had already reluctantly agreed to sell.
Looking at Su Cha, Su Weimin's face was very ugly, but he was still acting.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Su Cha's eyes sparkled.
"How much did you sell it for?"
"I'll get three hundred for this temporary job."
Su Cha's face fell.
"That won't do!"
They were almost at an agreement when Su Cha said no, and things are about to go wrong again.
The couple who were looking to buy a job nearby couldn't sit still any longer.
"Hey girl, we're not short of you. Don't you want your polyester dress anymore? Don't you want braised pork?"
Su Cha glanced at her sideways.
"Don't try to fool me, I'm a worldly kid."
I've made sure I understand that for any job, as long as the job itself is fine, there's a minimum salary of two years' worth of wages.
If you find something you really want and are in a hurry, two years' salary won't be enough.
Your son is about to be sent to the countryside, aren't you worried?
You actually lied to my brother and tried to lower the price. You think you can get it for only 300? You're dreaming.
"Brother, let's go, we're not selling it."
Su Weimin was dumbfounded?
What's going on?
Besides, it was already agreed that they couldn't afford to offend this family, so they would try to sell it for as much money as possible to gain their favor, and then ask them to help connect the brigade and the factory to generate some income for the villagers.
How did it change?
The couple panicked when they saw Su Weimin being taken away.
Just as he was about to give chase, he was stopped by the old gatekeeper.
"She's trying to raise the price; if you go to her now, you'll just be falling into that brat's trap."
After speaking, he looked at the others.
"You all go back first. It's not like we don't have people watching over us to prevent mistakes. Go to work. Fourth brother's wife should go back too. Fourth brother stays. The two of us will just wait. If we use the right trick, we might not even need to spend three hundred. We're not exactly experts."
The old man had spoken, and the children and grandchildren had no choice but to listen and leave one by one.
With the excitement fading, the onlookers left, and no one noticed that someone was missing from the group of spectators.
Su Weimin, who had already walked away, felt a pang of anxiety when he saw Old Liu stop Liu Laosi and his wife.
Oh no, my sister's gone too far.
I guess I won't even get 300 this time.
I stopped walking to talk to my younger sister.
As a result, he was pulled along by his sister and slid forward without stopping for a moment.
Su Weimin: "..."
Wow, my little sister is that strong!
So when she says she can't move this or carry that, she's just faking it; she's just lazy.
"Little sister, you..."
"Shut up!"
Su Weimin immediately shut up and took the initiative to follow.
"Pfft, pfft." Two strange noises came from around a corner in the distance.
Su Cha looked over and saw a familiar head.
His eyes lit up.
He released Su Weimin and skipped over.
"Aunt Zhou, is it done?"
"Okay, okay, don't worry about me. They're waiting for you in the purchasing department."
Su Cha smiled and grabbed the old lady's arm.
"The old lady is reliable."
As he spoke, he had already stuffed a dollar into the other person's hand.
"I'll get the rest done for you."
Aunt Zhou's face beamed with joy.
"You can rest assured that I'll handle things."
Su Cha gave instructions.
"Auntie, you can't tell anyone about this."
Aunt Zhou gave Su Cha a look.
"Don't worry about that. I won't utter a single word that I shouldn't say. And even if the Liu family finds out that I was the one who made the connection, they can't do anything to me."
My family doesn't have as many workers as his.
But my nephew is the director; he'd better try messing with me.
It's not like only the Liu family knows dirty tricks.
"Don't worry, the person I'm introducing you to is someone the Liu family wouldn't dare mess with; they're much more decent than the Liu family."
After listening for a while, Su Weimin had already thought of a certain possibility.
Looking at Aunt Zhou leaning against her younger sister, Su Weimin felt like he was in a dream.
When did my little sister meet Aunt Zhou?
Although he was a temporary worker, he was still a worker in this factory. He had been there for so long, but he hadn't even exchanged a few words with Aunt Zhou.
Look at how close the mother and son are.
Su Weimin pinched himself.
"Hiss~"
Very good, it's not an illusion.
He realized that although his sister seemed unreliable, she was actually very reliable. She didn't say anything and just followed along quietly.
The three arrived at the purchasing department, and Su Cha was pulled by Aunt Zhou and went directly into the purchasing department director's room.
There are three people in the room.
A middle-aged couple, and an elderly woman sitting upright in a somewhat worn-out old-fashioned military uniform.
Upon seeing Su Cha and Su Weimin, the middle-aged couple quickly stepped forward.
"Are you really going to sell jobs?"
Su Cha nodded.
"Selling my brother's job. It's a temporary job, but it's a good one. He's in charge of inventory statistics. He passed the exam himself, but he's never been able to get a permanent position. You guys take over, and getting a permanent position will be up to you."
"We know that. We inquired and found out that my daughter can do the job, which is why we agreed to meet with you."
Huilan.
Suddenly, the old lady spoke up.
"mom."
"Okay, you step back, I'll talk to the girl."
The old lady looked at Su Cha with sparkling eyes.
These days, there aren't many sisters who can be the older brother's sister, and it's been a long time since I've seen such a spirited girl.
The last one was their female artillery platoon leader, but unfortunately, she was forever stuck at the age of twenty.
The old lady waved, gesturing for Su Cha to come closer.
Su Cha glanced at the old lady's clothes and obediently approached her.
Holding Su Cha's hand, the old lady seemed to leap through time and space, holding the hand of the platoon leader who had taught her how to fire cannons when she was sixteen.
Trying hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart, the old lady looked at Su Cha.
How old are you?
"I'll be fifteen after the New Year."
The old lady patted Su Cha's hand.
"Have you gone to school yet?"
Su Cha answered the old lady's questions one by one without getting impatient, and only started talking to them about work after being urged by the old lady's daughter-in-law.
This time, Su Cha didn't pretend with Su Weimin; she simply ignored him and took the initiative to talk to the old lady.
Aunt Zhou glanced at Su Cha, and slowly, slowly, moved to the corner where Su Weimin was.
Su Weimin was slightly siding with the outsider.
He looked over at Su Weimin and lowered his voice.
"Your sister isn't stupid either, is she? This is practically a molted monkey!"
Su Weimin: "..."
