Chapter 198: The Stupidly Ascendant Bastard Turtle
Xiang Lan was slightly embarrassed by Shen Meng’s gaze, she was afraid that Shen Meng would dislike her, so she withdrew her hands, not daring to push the pearl powder forward anymore, and lowered her head without speaking, her hands constantly rubbing together.
"Xiang Lan, what are you doing? This pearl powder must be expensive, right? Normally you’re even reluctant to buy yourself some brown sugar, when there are cracks on your hands and feet, you just smeared them with ashes from the bottom of the pot. What makes you buy such expensive stuff for me today? Are you asking about the job?"
Xiang Lan gave a sheepish smile, then quickly nodded her head.
"The matter is already settled, I went to the county yesterday just for this, so don’t worry. Qianqian said she will definitely take care of you. In the future, just do your job well and don’t let anyone catch any faults, I am sure you can earn a steady wage. Maybe if you work two years, perform well, you might even become a regular employee!"
"Really, elder sister-in-law, the job matter is really settled, that’s great elder sister-in-law, you are my benefactor, elder sister-in-law, I’m really so thankful, I would kowtow to you elder sister-in-law, it’s not only that you helped me find a job, you have saved us, me and my two kids. Jiahe, that damned dog, except for going to work, he’s always looking for chances to sneak into Su Qin’s bed, and everything good in the house goes to him, now Su Qin is even persuading Jiahe to split the family!"
Xiang Lan is a fool, originally in the novel acting as Zhou Jiaojiao’s henchwoman, constantly clashing with the original protagonist, indulging Yong Qiang and Yong Li to bully Ming Kai, and didn’t end up in a good place, spending her life in the county looking after Lu Jiahe and the children, fighting with Su Qin every few days, leading a chaotic life.
Her two children were not favored by Lu Jiahe either, in comparison, Su Qin was living a comfortable life.
She might be foolish and bad, but it has to be said, she really is a good mother.
Shen Meng pondered for a moment and said: "Xiang Lan, how do you think Mrs. Daya is living nowadays?"
"It’s passable, I think. Although not very prosperous, Daya and Xiao Ya have clearly gained some weight. She herself has also become much more diligent. It’s better than being in the Xu Family, but it’s embarrassing. A woman living alone with two girls, the village does take care of them, but still, many people gossip privately, calling her self-destructive, cheap, saying she tormented her man like that, just endure it and life would have passed by. Ah, life might be better, but the reputation is not good, which might burden her children too, afraid they might be bullied by their in-laws when they get married."
"Hehe, then I’ll tell you, when I was in the county yesterday, I went to visit Sister Cheng at the hospital, and while chatting, I mentioned Mrs. Daya’s situation. People sympathized greatly, directly arranged a job for her in the hospital cafeteria to serve food, the salary is similar to yours, and it’s easier. Her life can only get better from here. Let the villagers gossip if they like; one day, the Lord will teach them to shut their mouths."
