Chapter 148: What the Heck?
"Mrs. Daya really has a way with jokes. But speaking of working in the county, it’s the elder sister-in-law who’s blessed. A ticket seller’s job is so easy that people in the county would fight tooth and nail for it and still can’t get it. I’m so envious I can’t even begin to describe it."
Zhou Jiaojiao naturally took a seat among them as she spoke. Shirley almost rolled her eyes to the sky, but Xifeng nudged her with an elbow, and she held it back.
Shen Meng was cracking sunflower seeds with her head down, not wanting to engage with her. Out of respect for a pregnant woman, she didn’t want to trouble Zhou Jiaojiao during her pregnancy. She told herself inwardly, tolerate her three times. If she still causes trouble, then she’ll fight back, of course not against her but make Lu Jiaxuan suffer instead.
Wu Xianglan came over with Lu Jiahe to pick up some grain. From afar, she saw a group sitting together. She originally wanted to greet Shen Meng, but when she saw Zhou Jiaojiao sitting next to her, she immediately turned her head away. At this time, she definitely couldn’t let Jiaxuan’s wife see her getting along well with the elder sister-in-law. Otherwise, she would become suspicious. If the notification letter had to be hidden in a different place, then all her efforts would be for naught.
Shen Meng watched her hurry to the side and pretended not to notice. However, she took mental note, glanced at Zhou Jiaojiao and thought to herself, dimwit, still thinks about taking my job? After the New Year, I’ll make sure you don’t have a fart to your name.
"You’ve got your own iron rice bowl now, you’re already better off than so many people. Why envy your elder sister-in-law? In the future, we’re not the same kind of people anymore. Hey, Jiaojiao, if the textile factory has any cheap fabric in the future, you’ve got to keep us in mind, okay?"
Wang Lianhua didn’t care about anything else; she just wanted some cheap fabric to make some new clothes for Daqing’s children. Her daughter Yaoyao was a girl, and she was still wearing clothes from when Daqing was young. It was too pitiful.
"That’s easy to say. I’ve heard that the textile factory often has defective fabric that’s very cheap. These are for the insiders to grab. If it goes to the Cooperative Society, it’s also the insiders who get first dibs. It’s not easy for the common people to get cheap fabric."
"Then you’ve got to remember me, okay!"
Wang Lianhua had just finished talking when Shirley stood up.
