Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Mind Your Own Business
That was the situation, unless she went to see the brigade leader or the Won’s Federation, it was about toughing it out with the family.
She thought for a mont, “I have an idea that might not sound great, but it will require you to spend so money.”
Zhou Xiaohua said, “I don’t have any money.”
“Listen to , we’ll go register first.
If both of you get hired, for the first three months, you’ll earn 28 yuan per month, and after becoming regular workers, it will be 35 yuan per month.
Other benefits are on par with factories in Nanshan County Town.
In this way, you two can earn 56 yuan per month together.”
After a pause, Song Yunuan asked, “Would you agree to give your wages to your family?”
Zhou Xiaohua replied, “Well…
that’s what we’re supposed to do.”
Zhou Xiaojuan whispered, “We haven’t split the family yet, and the work points we earned before were all given to the family.
We never see it, and even the recent money from selling straw hats is in grandma’s hands.”
Song Yunuan nodded, “Then do this, each of you gives fifteen to the family every month, and keep the remaining thirteen for yourself.
This way, without lifting a finger, your grandma would have an inco of forty yuan per month, which is almost catching up to the pensions of retired cadres in county town.
But if you get married, you won’t have a penny left.
Just tell her this…”
The Zhou sisters listened in bewildernt.
Song Yunuan said, “Actually, I really feel sorry for your aunt.
Her life has truly been ruined.
But this has nothing to do with your mom or the six of you; it’s the responsibility of your grandma and your father.
Why should it fall on you?”
The sisters looked up to Song Yunuan in admiration.
Zhou Xiaohua said, “I understand now.
I need to use my wages to hook grandma, to stop her from marrying
off so casually.”
Song Yunuan looked at Zhou Xiaohua, surprised.
Don’t say it, she adapts quite quickly, putting it into practice on the fly.
But Zhou Xiaojuan panicked, “What about
then?”
Song Yunuan said, “Don’t worry, isn’t your wedding half a year away?
We can talk about it when the ti cos.”
Thus, with a sigh of relief, the sisters hurried off with Song Yunuan to register.
When night had fully descended, one after the other, the big shots all left Erdao River Village, except for Gu Jin.
He had just called ho and found out that Qian Anna was on her way to Nanshan County Town and estimated to arrive by tomorrow afternoon.
Gu Jin didn’t have a bad impression of Qian Anna.
To tell the truth, this girl was really excellent, kind, elegant, and dignified.
But her coming to Nanshan County Town was obviously because of Song Yunuan.
What was his nephew thinking?
He just couldn’t see through it.
And the Song family didn’t seem like one to curry favor with the powerful.
He went to find Gu Huai’an and this ti spoke to him directly, “Qian Anna is coming, but she seems to be sneaking in.”
Gu Huai’an frowned, “Qian Anna, who’s that?”
Gu Jin: …
“She’s one of the nas on your grandfather’s list.”
Gu Huai’an replied casually, “I don’t know her!”
Gu Jin said, “…can I ask you what’s the deal with you and Song Yunuan?”
Gu Huai’an replied, “No, you can’t!”
Gu Jin said, “…but you two…”
“What about us?
Asheng calls
big brother, and she calls
Brother Huai’an.
What’s the problem with that?”
Gu Jin, facing his nephew’s dark and cold gaze, quickly said, “No problem.”
Gu Huai’an glanced at him, “Uncle, focus on what’s important.
My private affairs are none of your concern.”
Gu Jin glared at him angrily and then turned to leave.
Gu Huai’an’s brow furrowed slightly, his hand at his side clenched, and his gaze fell in the direction of the Song family.
The moon was full that night, gently bathing Erdao River Village in its glow.
Despite the height of sumr, the nights were anything but quiet.
Yet, his heart felt exceptionally peaceful.
anwhile, Song Yunuan was under a lamp, looking at her wallet and bankbook.
She had received a bonus and certificate again, and a work ID.
She hadn’t spent much lately, so there was more than 4000 yuan in the bankbook, and over 100 yuan in her wallet.
It was all from bonuses and manuscript fees.
These days, that was considered quite a fortune.
Leaving money in the bankbook like that, ten years later, it would be a huge loss.
She had to ponder what would be better to exchange her money for.
Actually, picking up bargains on antiques or collecting gold could also be a good path.
But that required connections.
Otherwise, it would be buying properties.
Or investing in the family’s clothing factory.
Song Yunuan asked her brother Asheng, “Is your jade Ruyi still sleeping?
Take it out so I can have a look.”
Thus, Song Yunuan took out a cloth wrapped package from the drawer, and after unwrapping it layer by layer, she was startled for a mont, “How co the spots on it are gone now?”
Asheng said, “Grandpa said he would take care of it, so he mixed up so dicinal powders and soaked it in water.
He learned it when he was young at the jade store, but he never got to use it later on and almost forgot.”
The jade Ruyi was now quietly spotless.
Therefore, Lin Qing must have been deceived.
Soone ruined the jade Ruyi with this thod, and that person might have a connection with Lin Qing’s family.
Tomorrow she had to ask Grandpa who owned that jade store.
With money in hand, Song Yunuan was preparing to sort out her investnts properly.
That’s right, she also had to tidy up the counter at the departnt store with Zhou Xiaohua tomorrow.
They had also accumulated a lot of clothing bags and hair flowers at ho.
Old Mr.
Hu and Old Mr.
Lin went back to the provincial city.
Before leaving, they sent Liu Wen 500 yuan worth of goods.
They got him a bit of everything.
This ti, they would basically be able to free up so cash.
Next ti, they would have him pay half of the paynt for the goods.
She told Little Asheng to keep the jade Ruyi safe and absolutely not let any unrelated personnel see it.
Little Asheng imdiately agreed.
Then he asked Song Yunuan if she wanted to go out for fun tomorrow.
Song Yunuan rembered that after dinner, Gu Huai’an told her he was free tomorrow afternoon and could drive her around for a spin.
So she told Little Asheng, “Tomorrow I’ll be working at ho, not going anywhere, hurry up and go to sleep.”
Little Asheng’s eyes rolled, sure that his sister must be planning to go for a drive with big brother.
He had to stick close to his sister tomorrow.
Ah, what a clever little elf he was.
—————–
After the work team left, Erdao River Village suddenly beca a hive of activity.
First of all, Zhilan Garnt Factory was established.
The business license and signboard were already completed.
Many people in the village realized then that Song Liang wasn’t the brigade leader anymore, but now he was the factory manager.
They started recruiting workers.
The sent-down youth station needed to be converted into a garnt factory, recruiting from within the village, backed by the large collective, with worker treatnt.
They were recruiting twenty people at first.
Chu Zizhou had long ago approved a residential land allocation for Xia Xindong’s family.
It belonged to a deceased childless widow; the house had been vacant since.
Then the county provided construction materials for building the house.
In the morning, Gu Huai’an took Xia Xindong to the experintal lab of the aerial testing facility.
They rearranged it according to what Xia Xindong said.
Old Mr.
Gong didn’t leave; he busied himself here and there.
In the afternoon, Gu Huai’an took Song Yunuan for a drive, with Little Asheng naturally following, sitting happily in the back.
Song Mingbo wanted to co along, but there were just too many things to take care of at ho.
It seed like the only people with free ti were Song Yunuan and Song Mingsheng.
Gu Huai’an drove for a while and, once Song Yunuan got the hang of it, he stopped the car and let Song Yunuan drive while he prepared to sit in the passenger seat.
Before Song Yunuan could get in the car, a jeep approached and stopped nearby.
However, no one got out of the vehicle.
