Chapter 185 - 184: Making Connections
Cheng Yufen glared at her, this Shen Meng, usually whatever she does is steady and proper, so why is she getting anxious now?
"Don’t rush, listen to what I have to say. After hearing about Comrade Yu Xueli’s situation from you last time, I felt that it wasn’t suitable for a female comrade to do such heavy manual labor. So I suggested it to the dean, and it turns out the cafeteria is short-staffed for a food server. She just needs to help with chopping and washing vegetables; it’s a job she can handle."
"Ah, I knew it could be done. Thank you, big sister. This is such good news; I’ll have to get Shirley to bring her children along to properly thank you. Although she has spent years in the countryside, I can vouch for her character. She’s not the deceitful or thieving type. Over the years, she’s suffered a lot for her children, continuously worn down by domestic violence, but she never looks timid or skittish. Her two children are her support, and all she wants now is to raise them well. If something happens to her in the future, I’ll still need to trouble you, Sister Cheng."
Cheng Yufen’s greatest virtue is her tender heart, but of course, it is also her flaw. She hasn’t hesitated to cause trouble for her in-laws due to her own family matters in the past. This time Shen Meng came over to connect with another line of hers.
"What’s the big deal? Since I recommended her to the dean, I clearly trust your judgment. If there’s any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me, and I will definitely help her."
"Thank you so much, Sister Cheng. Oh, by the way, I heard that the younger son from your sister-in-law’s family is still unemployed, right?"
Cheng Yufen sighed. Speaking of this, she was really helpless. In the past, blinded by family loyalty, she neglected her own children for the sake of her parents’ household. Her daughter now works at a subsidiary food factory; back then, there was only one job opening at the factory, and if it weren’t for her sister-in-law, her daughter wouldn’t even have a formal job now!
But by favoring her niece, she wronged her son. Even after several opportunities arose, Shihao couldn’t compete with those with connections and is still jobless at home!
