Chapter 34

Lu Hongmei quickly ran to Shen Man’s side and grabbed her arm.

“Second sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn’t have been rude to you, I shouldn’t have scolded you, I know I was wrong, please help me.”

“In the future, at home, I will definitely repay you well when I have a job, just help me.”

Shen Man glanced at her coldly, “Didn’t you want me to give you the job at the mechanical factory, why have you changed your mind now and want the job at the textile factory?”

Lu Hongmei quickly explained, “Second sister-in-law, I’ve figured it out now, the job at the mechanical factory is something you earned yourself, it’s naturally more suitable for you.”

“Someone like me with poor abilities, I’m not qualified to go there, it’s good enough to have a job.”

Shen Man looked at the man sitting beside her, he didn’t say anything, “Did your second brother teach you this?”

This person didn’t think this way before, she wanted a job in an office.

Lu Zhengguo sat quietly beside her, he didn’t say anything.

Lu Hongmei gave a dry smile, “At this time, it’s already good enough to find a job, many people want a job at the textile factory but can’t get it.”

“I’m lucky to have my sister-in-law’s help, I can’t be picky.”

Shen Man withdrew her gaze, “Okay, give me the money when we go back tonight, I’ll take you to go through the hiring procedures tomorrow.”

“Really, sister-in-law, you’re so good to me, I’ll definitely not be against you in the future.”

Lu Hongmei directly hugged Shen Man’s neck, she wanted to kiss her a few times.

Lu Zhengguo’s face turned black, he stepped forward and pulled her away, “Lu Hongmei, don’t be so touchy-feely, what will people think if they see you.”

“Behave yourself in the future.”

Shen Man saw the man’s gloomy face and raised her eyebrows.

It seems that Lu Zhengguo is a good brother, he knows how to maintain his sister’s image.

Unfortunately, he’s not a good man, he just annoys her all the time.

Coming out of the state-owned restaurant, Shen Man got on her bicycle, “It’s not good to ride a bike with three people, I’ll go back first, you two siblings can walk slowly behind.”

She said, she pushed off with her feet and disappeared in front of Lu Zhengguo and Lu Hongmei in a flash.

Lu Hongmei was dumbfounded, she poked Lu Zhengguo’s arm, “Brother, your sister-in-law just left you like that?”

The bicycle can’t carry three people, but it can carry one.

Doesn’t Shen Man like her brother very much, why has she been cold to her brother ever since he came back.

Lu Zhengguo frowned slightly, his voice was cold, “Be respectful to your sister-in-law in the future, if I find out that you’re being sarcastic to her, you don’t need to ask me for help anymore.”

He said, he left these words behind and strode forward, not caring that his sister was still behind him.

Lu Hongmei quickly ran up to catch up with him, “Brother, Second Brother, wait for me, wait for me.”

Second brother is really something, he’s not that good to his wife either, otherwise, why would she be so mean to Shen Man.

Humph, hypocritical.

But luckily, he’s still good to her, his sister, she’ll help him take care of his wife in the future.

After Shen Man returned home.

Everyone in the family had already gotten off work and returned, it was Zhang Fengxia’s turn to cook today.

She was washing vegetables in the yard, she saw Shen Man park her bicycle in the yard, she clicked her tongue.

“Sister-in-law, this bike was bought by Zhengguo, why did you say your Mom bought it for you?”

“Are you afraid we’ll say something?”

Shen Man stopped in her tracks, she was about to go into the house, “Sister-in-law, I didn’t say my Mom bought it for me, you’re just misunderstanding.”

“If you also want one, let Big Brother buy you one.”

Zhang Fengxia’s face turned ugly, she subconsciously blurted out, “Buy it if you want to, who can’t afford it, it’s just a bicycle, why do you have to show off in front of me all the time.”

Shen Man turned to look at her, “Sister-in-law, you have a dirty mind, you see dirt everywhere, when have I ever shown off in front of you, if you have the guts, tell me properly.”

“It’s not something I’ve done, I don’t like to take the blame, words and actions should be based on evidence, without evidence, it’s slander.”

Zhang Fengxia’s face flushed red and white, she threw the vegetables in her hand into the basin and pointed at Shen Man.

“Look at you, your tone, your attitude, isn’t it showing off, you come back riding that bicycle every day, you’re afraid that others won’t hear or see, you have to ride around in front of me.”

Shen Man couldn’t help but laugh, “Sister-in-law, our yard is this big, where else would I come in if I don’t come in from here?”

“Besides, it’s such a small place, not to mention riding a bicycle around in front of you, I have to look for a place to park for a long time.”

“If you think I’m showing off, you can also have Big Brother buy you one, and then show off in front of me.”

Zhang Fengxia was so angry, “Buy it if you want to, who can’t afford it, it’s just a couple of hundred yuan, my man can definitely afford it.”

“Okay, I’m waiting for your new bicycle, Sister-in-law, then you can ride around in front of me.” Shen Man finished speaking and turned to go into the house.

Inside the house.

Lu Mu was sitting there mending clothes.

She looked up and saw Shen Man come in, she quickly put down her things and walked towards Shen Man, “Second daughter-in-law, wait a minute, Mom has something to tell you.”

Shen Man stopped, “Mom, you’re here for the job too, if it’s about this, then there’s no need to say anything.”

“Seven hundred yuan, give it to me tonight, and I’ll take Hongmei to the textile factory tomorrow morning to go through the hiring procedures.”

“What, seven hundred yuan, wasn’t it five hundred yuan?”

Hearing that Shen Man agreed, Lu Mu was about to be overjoyed, but she quickly reacted, she had to give her seven hundred yuan, she was instantly dumbfounded.

It’s only been a few days, how did it go from five hundred yuan to seven hundred yuan.

It would take the whole family several years to save up seven hundred yuan without eating or drinking.

Shen Man looked at Lu Mu, “What, didn’t Zhengguo and Hongmei tell you?”

This price wasn’t what she proposed, could it be that Lu Zhengguo didn’t tell the Lu family about this at all?

At this time, Zhang Fengxia, who had just finished washing the vegetables and come in, also heard about the seven hundred yuan, she quickly ran over.

“Mom, you can’t agree, where did our family get so much money to buy a job for Hongmei.”

“Even if you don’t think about our family, you have to think about your two grandsons, you can’t spend all the family’s money on Hongmei, a daughter who’s about to get married, to buy a job.”

“If she really doesn’t want to go to the countryside, why doesn’t she just find someone to marry, why does she have to suck the family’s blood.”

Hearing this, Lu Mu was very distressed, she didn’t know what to do for a while.

She could only look at Shen Man for help, “Second daughter-in-law, can’t it be five hundred yuan, this… seven hundred yuan is too much, we don’t have that much money at home.”
