Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 278 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 19

It was another market day. Zhao Xue and Liu Hongjuan, mother and daughter, went to the town. Jiang Yueshu still rode on Cheng Shuo's bicycle.

When they arrived in the town, the two men split up and implemented their own plans respectively.

Jiang Yueshu quietly followed Liu Hongjuan and her daughter. After a while, she saw the familiar Wang Chaoyang coming over. She took this opportunity to secretly observe whether Liu Qingqing and Wang Chaoyang had any similarities.

Following them all the way, Jiang Yueshu became more and more certain of the mystery of the identities of the three people. The three of them got along well with each other. Wang Chaoyang was generous and magnanimous, Liu Hongjuan was shy and loving, and Liu Qingqing was constantly acting coquettish. If outsiders saw them, they would definitely think that the three were a family.

At first glance, Liu Qingqing has inherited the best qualities of her father and mother, and with so many years of pampering, she looks very good.

They seemed to have mentioned Liu Qingqing's work. Wang Chaoyang even took the mother and daughter to visit the Changming Garment Factory. Jiang Yueshu silently memorized the location of the garment factory and then left.

Obviously, Wang Chaoyang is now worried about Liu Qingqing's work.

Jiang Yueshu still went to the medicinal materials exchange office to exchange some money. Thinking that it was still early, she prepared to go to the black market to find Cheng Shuo to see if he was there.

As soon as she got there, Jiang Yueshu passed by Zhao Xue, who was walking back with a relaxed look on her face. She took another look at her empty backpack and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Sure enough, Cheng Shuo, who was not far away, nodded slightly to Jiang Yueshu, then walked quickly towards Jiang Yueshu with his backpack.

"Done?" Jiang Yueshu asked.

"Well, in the future she will deliver the goods directly to the person I specially arrange." Cheng Shuo had a happy look on his face and a relaxed voice.

Jiang Yueshu nodded, and the two went directly to the state-owned restaurant. After lunch, they returned to Xinghua Village.

At the Jiang family dinner table that evening, Liu Hongjuan shared the good news with the Jiang family with a happy face, "Qingqing has found a job!"

"Really? In town?" Jiang Aiguo was surprised and happy, and was the first to ask.

Even Grandma Jiang, who always had a sullen face, softened her expression a little. Liu Qingqing thought highly of herself and glanced at Jiang Yueshu arrogantly.

During this period of time, Jiang's father has been protecting that bitch Jiang Erya, so much so that he doesn't dare to take his anger out on her. He even has to wash his own clothes. She's really pissed off!

When she becomes a worker in a garment factory, she has to go to work and earn money, but all those jobs will have to come back to her one by one, huh!

Jiang Yueshu seemed not to see it and just waited quietly for Liu Hongjuan to continue speaking. Judging from her expression, it seemed that she had not finalized the matter.

As expected, after everyone calmed down, Liu Hongjuan put on a worried look again and said in a trembling voice, "His father is going to work at the Changming Garment Factory in town. He had already made up his mind, but someone intervened there. So the factory wants us to show some sincerity."

When Jiang Aiguo heard the word "sincerity", he immediately frowned. Grandma Jiang instantly returned to her expressionless face, while Liu Hongjuan and her daughter looked at the two of them nervously.

What's the sincerity? To put it bluntly, isn't it just about money?

It was obvious that Grandma Jiang was the first one to get impatient as she was asked to pay for her son's business.

She slapped the table with her hands, "What money do you want to spend? She goes to school to earn money for us, and now she's asking for money after she just found a job. There's not even a penny!"

Liu Hongjuan, a young wife, usually lowered her head and looked at Jiang Aiguo with a sincere face.

"His father, isn't this the case with all jobs in town now? Although Qingqing has a high school diploma, all jobs are connected. You have to rely on connections. This is one job I found with great difficulty! Besides, I am also thinking about our family. How long can Qingqing stay in the job? The key is the position. Then won't Dali and Zhuangzhuang have jobs in the future?"

Liu Qingqing frowned. This was the job she had found, so why should she give it up? But when she thought of her mother's repeated instructions before she went home, she suppressed her unhappiness and said nothing.

I have to say that Liu Hongjuan is really smart. She obviously wants to spend money to find a job for her daughter, but now she has brought the two men in the family to the table. In this way, not only will Jiang's father agree, but Grandma Jiang will probably not refuse either.

Just as Jiang Yueshu thought, in just three or four breaths, Jiang Aiguo asked in a deep voice, "How much do you want?"

Liu Hongjuan pointed a finger at Jiang Aiguo.

"One piece?" Grandma Jiang asked anxiously.

Liu Hongjuan shook her head. What a wishful thinking. "A great unity!"

"How much! Isn't this just stealing money? It's almost as much as Dali and his friends' tuition!" Grandma Jiang grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Jiang Aiguo remained silent, as if he was weighing whether this matter was worth it.

After all, garment factory workers at that time were unique. They could gain both fame and fortune, and when the boys at home got jobs, they wouldn't have to worry about getting married.

After thinking for a while, he confirmed with Liu Hongjuan again, "Are you sure you paid the money? Is this job Qing Yatou's? How much is her monthly salary?"

Seeing that Jiang Aiguo had made up his mind, Liu Hongjuan nodded hurriedly, as if she was proud of it. "Yes, yes, I have already agreed with them. Once I pay the money, I can go to work the next day. They said that Qingqing needs to learn a lot at first, so it will be 17 yuan a month. If she does a good job later, she will get more money!"

When Jiang Aiguo and Grandma Jiang heard this number, their breathing stopped and they couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts, with great emotion on their faces.

Jiang Aiguo looked at everyone else and did not make a decision at the dinner table. Instead, he left after saying "let me think about it."

After dinner, Liu Hongjuan and her daughter sneaked out of the house and talked outside.

"Mom! Wasn't it agreed that the job was mine? And wasn't the money all--um," Liu Qingqing had just said a few words when her mother covered her mouth.

Liu Hongjuan looked around alertly, and when she found that there was no one around, she whispered to Liu Qingqing, "Keep your voice down so that no one can hear you."

Liu Qingqing became nervous when she heard this, looked around and nodded quickly.

Liu Hongjuan let go of her hand and whispered to her daughter, "Qingqing, if you don't say this, do you think your father will be willing to pay this money? And you can't tell anyone about the money. The money is saved and will be used as a dowry for you when the time comes!"

After that, he sighed again and patted his daughter's head lovingly, "Silly girl, who would complain about having too much money? Be careful to keep the money your uncle Wang gave you. Don't let anyone find out. Don't mention this to anyone in the future!"

Liu Qingqing looked at her mother's serious expression and nodded subconsciously to indicate that she understood.

After saying this, Liu Qingqing remembered something else, "Mom, how am I going to come back from my break? I don't want to travel so far!"

Workers in the town’s garment factories can live in the factories, but they have to pay for accommodation and food.

There are four days of rest every month, and she must go home during that time. However, the ox cart in the village only runs on market days, and there are only two scheduled trips a day. Who knows if she can catch it?

Liu Hongjuan thought for a moment and said, "Your Uncle Wang has a car. I'll tell him to take you with him when he comes back."

Liu Qingqing was still a little reluctant after hearing this, "Mom! Can't our family buy a bicycle? I want to ride it back every day!"

By then she will be a worker, everyone will have a bicycle, and she wants one too!

Liu Hongjuan: “…”

Her daughter is really bold!

"Qingqing! You definitely can't buy a bicycle. How much does it cost? And you need a ticket! Your father and grandmother are unwilling to pay even ten dollars, so how could they let you buy a bicycle?"

Liu Qingqing pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "I know, Mom! Then I will be a worker. Maybe I can find you a good son-in-law in the factory. It will be so impressive to have a bicycle! Then the villagers will definitely envy you for having such a good daughter!"

Liu Hongjuan curled the corners of her lips, thinking that her daughter was right. Her daughter was indeed excellent, beautiful and had a diploma, and she could be a worker in the future!

For a moment, she also felt that the boys in the village were not worthy of her girl!

For someone like her daughter, she has to find a worker from the factory who has good conditions in all aspects!

But thinking that the bicycle would cost more than 100 yuan, Liu Hongjuan said earnestly, "Qingqing, work for a few more months, save some money, and try harder. Then I will persuade your father. Who knows, he might agree."

Liu Qingqing is having a headache. If she is asked to save money, how many months will it take her?

With so many beautiful clothes and delicious food, she couldn't help but buy them!

Seeing that her daughter was still worried, Liu Hongjuan thought of something and encouraged her, "Qingqing, don't worry, I will look for your Uncle Wang when the time comes. And that damn girl Jiang Erya is not young anymore, it's time for her to find a husband. I will take good care of her dowry when the time comes!"

She had originally wanted to wait until the eldest son's wife came home before considering Jiang Erya's matter, but now seeing her daughter's anxious look, she couldn't help but change her mind.

Liu Qingqing instantly understood what her mother meant. Her eyes lit up and she pulled Liu Hongjuan affectionately and acted coquettishly, "Mom, you are still the best to me! Mom, you have to find her a husband as soon as possible!"

Liu Hongjuan nodded and looked at her daughter tenderly. After they finished talking, they happily returned to the Jiang family.

The next day, the two of them rushed to take the money and go to help Liu Qingqing secure the garment factory workers' matter.

After Jiang Yueshu came back from collecting grass for the pigs, she had only taken a few steps when she heard people in the village talking about Liu Qingqing becoming a worker in the town's garment factory.

All their words were filled with envy and jealousy towards her. Even some families in the village with boys of marriageable age began to plan to go to the Jiang family to ask for Liu Qingqing's hand in marriage.

Fang Ruoyao, the educated youth who was following Jiang Yueshu, made a "tsk" sound, seeming to be extremely disdainful of her.

Jiang Yueshu glanced at her and saw that she looked extremely unhappy. She knew that she was probably angered by that educated youth Wen Haowen again.

Fang Ruoyao was assigned to come here a few days ago to help her collect grass for the pigs. She said that she came here because she liked the quietness, but Jiang Yueshu did not comment on this.

She had heard a lot of gossip, and she knew that Fang Ruoyao did not get along with several of the educated youths, including her childhood sweetheart, Wen Haowen, the educated youth. The two of them had been arguing so much that she had asked to come and help her cut grass for the pigs.

Anyway, after she came, she was quiet for a whole day at first, but later, probably because she saw that Jiang Yueshu was easy to get along with, she opened up and took the initiative to talk to Jiang Yueshu, occasionally muttering to herself, but she didn't need Jiang Yueshu to reply.

During these days, the two of them felt extremely happy getting along with each other.

As soon as she heard the villagers discussing Liu Qingqing, she looked at Jiang Yueshu first.

She knew that Liu Qingqing was Jiang Erya's stepsister, and the huge difference between the two of them also made her realize that Jiang Erya was not very popular at home. She actually sympathized with Jiang Erya, and she didn't want her to be sad because of this.

Although they had only been together for a few days, she felt that Jiang Erya was a very nice person and inexplicably made her feel safe. Although it sounded ridiculous, this was what she really thought in her heart.

She is so thin, but she just feels this way!

She touched the only White Rabbit candy left in her pocket, pulled Jiang Yueshu's hand over and put it down, "Erya, eat it. This one is for you."

Jiang Yueshu looked at Fang Ruoyao in surprise, "You... this..."

As if she was afraid of being rejected, Fang Ruoyao peeled off the candy wrapper first, carefully put the whole candy into Jiang Yueshu's mouth, and spoke with a smile.

"You will faint if you have low blood sugar. Eat something sweet to replenish your blood sugar!"

Jiang Yueshu smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Comrade Fang!"

Fang Ruoyao waved her hands. Seeing that Jiang Yueshu was not upset at all by the rumors in the village, she couldn't help but said happily, "It's okay. We are friends! Just call me Yaoyao!"

Jiang Yueshu nodded and called out "Yaoyao".

The two smiled at each other, then walked arm in arm for a while before returning home.

The next day, Liu Qingqing officially started working in the garment factory, while Liu Hongjuan began to arrange for finding a husband for Jiang Erya.

Since Jiang Yueshu had left a very deep impression on the masses because of her previous multiple fainting incidents, her reputation as a sickly person spread far and wide, and for a time she became the person that every household in the surrounding area least wanted to choose a daughter-in-law.

If you marry a girl like this, not to mention whether she can give birth to a child, she won't be able to do any housework. Isn't this like marrying a ancestor?

Liu Hongjuan knew this very well, so she simply did not choose anyone from good families. Instead, she focused on asking around for old bachelors with wealthy families, and even widowers with children. She accepted everyone who came.

In order to choose the most suitable candidate for her husband's family, Liu Hongjuan asked a famous matchmaker in the village to make inquiries, including visiting the man's family to find out the situation.

After a while, almost everyone in the village knew that Jiang Erya's stepmother was looking for a man for her, and that man was Wang Goudan from the next village.

At this moment, Jiang Yueshu was putting pig grass into the backpack, looking at Cheng Shuo and Hao Zhi who came in a hurry with confusion.
