Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Hiding in Vain
She had never known that Su Wanyu was so incredible that she could even beco a full-ti worker at the town governnt. This was even more impressive than her eldest brother, who worked as a temporary worker at the transport factory.
Originally with an uncle working at the transport factory, she would always receive a warm welco every ti she visited her maternal ho.
Now that she had an elder sister-in-law working at the town governnt, her visits back ho would carry even more prestige.
Jiang Changhe and Zhao Xiaojuan were happy for the eldest’s household, feeling that good people really do get good rewards.
The eldest household had been so helpful to their own, and now the elder sister-in-law had gotten a great job. Their lives would certainly beco more prosperous!
Zhang Guihua was grinning from ear to ear; now, she looked at Su Wanyu and thought she could do no wrong.
She didn’t hold it against her for being frail and unable to bear her a grandson anymore, nor did she mind that she was lazy and had a sweet tooth, not fond of doing chores anymore.
All those faults in her eyes before had now turned into virtues.
Su Wanyu, the wife of the eldest son, was simply not soone to do such nial tasks; she was born to be a city dweller.
“Eldest, Eldest’s wife, what does a translator do?” Zhang Guihua asked curiously.
“Ha-ha, Mom, a translator is soone who turns foreigners’ words into our Chinese words. My wife is skilled in four languages, including English, French, Russian, and German. She can speak so well that she can converse normally with foreigners. A few days ago, she even helped entertain German clients at the chemical plant,” Jiang Changhai boasted whenever he had the chance.
“Four foreign languages, oh my, Eldest’s wife, you are truly amazing,” Zhang Guihua swallowed and exclaid in astonishnt.
Eldest’s wife really knew how to keep her cool; they had lived together for so many years and not once had Su Wanyu ntioned her multilingual talents.
If Su Wanyu knew what her mother-in-law was thinking now, she would probably bend over laughing.
Who would’ve thought that just a few years ago she was still branded with the disgraceful label of the “Black Five Categories”? How could she dare to boast about her language skills?
She couldn’t have hidden it even if she tried — wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
“That’s right, my wife is the most capable. Mom, do you know how much money my wife made the day she received clients at the chemical plant?” Jiang Changhai asked with pride on his face.
“How much money?” Zhang Guihua’s interest peaked whenever it involved money.
The other mbers of the Jiang Family also perked up their ears, eager to find out how much Su Wanyu could earn in one day.
Jiang Changhai extended two fingers and waved them in front of his mother: “Twenty yuan, plus two Industrial Coupons.”
“How much? Twenty?” Zhang Guihua’s voice beca sharp.
“Yeah, Mom, don’t get too excited, it’s twenty yuan,” Jiang Changhai said while patting his mother’s back to calm her down.
“Twenty yuan a day? That’s faster than robbing money!” Zhang Guihua muttered to herself, overwheld by the day’s revelations.
Even the usually composed Jiang Dashan, hearing that his eldest daughter-in-law could earn twenty yuan in a day, was so thrilled he almost burnt his mouth with the old tobacco pipe.
This was truly extraordinary, one day’s wages equaling a whole month of their exhausting work in the fields!
The rest of the Jiang Family, too, were stunned by Jiang Changhai’s revelation, staring at Su Wanyu as if they were seeing her for the first ti.
Su Wanyu felt smug inside, but she modestly explained, “Mom and Dad, I only earned so much last ti because it was a one-off job. That kind of work doesn’t co around often — I only make twenty-five yuan a month now.”
