Chapter 115 Painting cakes to satisfy hunger
On this side, Gu Wan just regarded them as polite words and responded with a smile: "Uncle Zheng, Grandpa, don't worry, I will cook whatever you want to eat in the future."

The kitchen had been cleaned up and Secretary Zheng had given them the red envelope, so the three members of the Gu family prepared to say goodbye and go home.

Secretary Zheng was talking to his old leader over there, planning to personally send him back to the county town, while here Secretary Zheng's wife was pulling Gu Wan into the yard.

I want to find out what is going on with the Sun family.

Because of their previous conversation, Secretary Zheng's wife knew that the Sun family actually wanted to use her son's connections to change jobs.

On the surface, according to what Old Sun said, his son meets all the requirements.

In that case, why don't you just go through the normal work procedures to apply for transfer? Why do you have to go to their house all this way?
Secretary Zheng's wife retired early due to poor health in recent years. She used to be a vigorous female soldier with a keen sense of smell in the workplace.

Especially women, a mother is strong, if someone does something bad in the name of her son, then it will harm the eldest son of the Zheng family——

That is impossible!

To know yourself and your enemy, you must first grasp the real information about the Sun family, so she thought it necessary to find Gu Wan to find out the situation.

As for whether Gu Wan would tell lies, Secretary Zheng’s wife liked this little girl with a tragic fate very much and believed in her character.

Moreover, Secretary Zheng’s wife also felt that this man should not be so stupid. Seeing that someone in their family knew the Sun family, wouldn’t it be easy to be exposed if he told lies to their faces?

After all, Mr. Zheng in their family is also Comrade Xiao Gu's leader.

Gu Wan impartially recounted her experience of meeting her aunt in the county town and what she learned afterwards.

Let’s not talk about things like she hadn’t had children for several years after marriage and her mother-in-law scolding her as an old hen that doesn’t lay eggs. Let’s just say that at the beginning my aunt didn’t want to make her family worry.

As a result, her father went to the county town himself and found that her aunt was living alone in the staff dormitory, and that Sun Qiwen was already dating another girl. Only then did her family feel something was wrong and went to the county town in person to find her aunt and find out what was going on.

"My aunt actually had a hard time at the supply and marketing cooperative. Her colleagues all excluded her. My grandmother and my father actually thought it was okay for my aunt to go back home. Even a divorced woman would definitely be subject to rumors in the countryside, but we feel sorry for our own daughter."

Gu Wan paused deliberately, smiled bitterly, and then continued, "My aunt has been married to Sun Qiwen for several years, and she has never had a penny in her hand. On weekdays, she has to work like a slave for their family. Why? The friendship of providing a job has been repaid long ago. In the past few years, my aunt has worked very hard in the supply and marketing cooperative. My aunt is upright and works hard, and no one can do anything to her. She must get up from where she fell."

Secretary Zheng's wife was moved by these words. She admired such self-reliant female comrades the most.

Similarly, Secretary Zheng’s wife was even more disgusted with Sun Qiwen. After marriage, the whole family spent their daughter-in-law’s salary?

He's not a live-in son-in-law, so if you tell this to others, it will be unreasonable no matter where you go.

At the end, Gu Wan did not forget to add: "Aunt, it's all my fault. I was young and hot-tempered and offended your guests."

"Look at what you said. What kind of guest? He suddenly came to our house when he has no relationship with us at all." Secretary Zheng's wife made a snort.

I will definitely remind my son later to be careful of that Sun Qiwen. It would be bad if he got involved with such a monster.

On the way home, Gu Zhiqiang thought of how the father and son of the Sun family were so angry but could do nothing about them, and he laughed happily.

Qiao Yuemei thought more and couldn't help asking, "Wanwan, after all, you are a guest at your leader's house. Will this kind of disturbance have a bad impact on you?"

"Mom, don't worry, Uncle Zheng and Auntie are both reasonable." Gu Wan smiled. Although neither party said it explicitly, it was obvious that they had successfully ruined the scumbag's good deeds today, and Gu Wan was of course happy.

However, Gu Wan felt that his aunt should also be informed of this matter. Regardless of whether or not to retaliate against the Sun family, he could not continue to allow others to wantonly destroy his aunt's reputation.

Gu Zhiqiang took the initiative to take on this task. Anyway, in order to complete the cooperation between the brigade and the hospital, he needed to make many trips to the county town.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned home, Shi Guixiang told Lao San that the captain had come to him several times and wanted to discuss something with him.

There must be something urgent, so Gu Zhiqiang didn't even take a rest when he came back and hurried to the brigade headquarters.

On this side, Qiao Yuemei asked her daughter to go back to her room to rest while she went to chat with her mother-in-law.

After all, Wanwan is still a girl, and there are some things Qiao Yuemei doesn't want her to hear too much.

Gu Wan responded obediently. After returning to her room, she opened the red envelope given by Secretary Zheng and found two red bills inside.

This is double what was agreed upon before. Gu Wan was very surprised. It is even higher than her monthly salary.

However, such things are hard to come by. Secretary Zheng must be very satisfied with the dishes she cooked, and she even made extra braised beef and left the marinade packet for them, so he gave them an extra ten yuan.

Gu Wan felt unworthy of the gift, but if he just gave it back like that, both sides would be embarrassed, so it would be better to find more opportunities to make delicious food for Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng in the future.

And it wasn't just her, her parents also gave her red envelopes. Although each person only got two dollars, it was a lot for a helper.

For a moment, Gu Wan became more confident about the future, especially after hearing the news from Gu Zhiqiang.

The team leader went to the commune for a meeting and reported the cooperation with the provincial hospital to Secretary Zhao, who also appreciated him.

Secretary Zhao even promised that at present they were only cooperating with the provincial hospital in the name of the Red Flag Brigade. If this project could continue, they might be able to set up a processing workshop in the brigade in the future.

In that case, there will be vacancies for formal jobs, which is equivalent to a stable job.

For their Red Flag Brigade, this was unprecedented good news, so the next morning the three brothers of the Gu family took several other strong laborers in the village and went out with their tools.

Although Gu Zhiqiang was the main person in charge of this matter, the main credit from the initial discovery of the medicinal materials to the reaching of the cooperation agreement goes to him.

However, Qi Bin also reminded that it would be difficult to accomplish anything by himself and that currently he could only cooperate with others in the name of the team.

Moreover, there is strength in numbers. Even if the three brothers of the Gu family join the battle together, they cannot match the role played by a group of strong young men going to the back mountain.

The income will benefit the entire Red Flag Brigade, but the brigade leader will not let Gu Zhiqiang suffer too much and will simply give him more when the dividends are distributed.

In this way, Gu Zhiqiang's mission was justified, and it became a collective industry that could be sustained for a long time.

Didn’t you see that the commune has already started making plans?

As for whether the people of the Red Flag Brigade can eat it, well, that depends on the health of their teeth.
