Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

"Exactly!" Ma Xiulan revealed a smile akin to hooking a big fish. "I’m a group leader at the textile factory. I came back this time to recruit some people to work there."

With that, she sighed, "Sis-in-law, let me tell you something from the heart. Actually, I don’t want to do this kind of work. I need to worry about their safety when recruiting people. It’s hard work without gratitude. But thinking about bringing the sisters who grew up together in the village to earn money, I figure I’ll go the extra mile! We’re all family after all."

Tong Yao looked at Ma Xiulan again, with an added layer of scrutiny, and asked, "Which city do you work in and what’s the factory’s name?"

Ma Xiulan answered smoothly, "Jiang City, Tianyi Textile Factory. Our factory is large, with hundreds of workers."

"Do you recruit men?" questioned Tong Yao, with a playful blink, afraid to raise suspicion in Ma Xiulan, she quickly explained, "Boyi is idle at home if you recruit men too, he can go with Xiaohui, brother and sister can take care of each other."

"Oh! I’m sorry about that. Our factory does not hire men." Ma Xiulan explained with a laugh, "Sis-in-law, as you know men are rough and do hard manual labor, how could they do such delicate work as textiles! If they get angry, they might just snap all the silk threads!"

"You make a good point, Boyi is used to doing farm work at home, he certainly can’t do delicate work." Tong Yao agreed with a nod, playing along with the conversation.

Seeing this, Ma Xiulan changes the subject with a smile, "Sis-in-law, why don’t you come work with Xiulan at our factory! We provide food and accommodation, fifty yuan a month, bonus during the New Year, even the fare will be reimbursed. The conditions are quite good, if you guys go together, you can look after each other."
