Chapter 307: Mother Knows You’ve Been Wronged
Wu Xianglan looked at Shen Meng with equal disbelief. She knew that with Shen Meng’s ability, all it would take is one word from her and Wu Xianglan’s job would be gone in an instant, especially now that she was about to start working at the County Government. The leaders at the textile factory wouldn’t even need to think twice, after all, she was just a janitor.
"Elder sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law, you can’t do this, I can’t lose this job. If I lose this job, what will become of my Yong Qiang and Yong Li? They’re going to start school in two months; they can finally attend this year. At such a critical moment, how could I lose my job? Elder sister-in-law, you really can’t do this!"
"Oh, come on, second sister-in-law, what’s this all about? If you lose your job, you lose your job. It might even be for the best. You’re always worrying about Yong Qiang and Yong Li, and even at work, you constantly talk about them. Without a job, you could spend every day with them. Besides, it’s just work. You’ve dealt with dirt and clay before; you don’t need any getting used to it."
Zhou Jiaojiao stood at her own room door, raising her voice in an attempt to mediate with Wu Xianglan.
Wu Xianglan treasured her job deeply. Every day, she worked diligently and earnestly, and did not slack at all like before, to the extent that even the group leader, who used to look down on her, was now like a close sister to her.
She heeded Shen Meng’s words and wanted to do her job well. She had no great ambitions, only wanting to hold onto this job and do well, so that later she could get a house and bring her children to the city. If her daughter became successful, all the better. If not, she could hand the job to Yong Li. Yong Qiang could drive for the Shen Family’s younger uncle, or learn carpentry with Lao Si. A grown man would always be able to find work. Of course, if he could make something of himself, even better. Then, in her old age, she could enjoy a life of ease.
But without this job, all her hopes for her entire life would be dashed. Now, hearing Zhou Jiaojiao’s words, a surge of anger welled up in her; in the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, Wu Xianglan sprinted towards Zhou Jiaojiao, grabbed her by the collar, and slammed her to the ground.
She straddled her waist and started to throw punches left and right.
