Chapter 207 I hate you for being poor, but I’m afraid you’ll be rich

When Shen Meng got off work, he took out a big bag of candied haws from his space, and when he saw Yu Xueli, he gave two to her.

"I bought it when I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative. How was your work day today? Did you get along well with the people you work with?"

Yu Xueli didn't hesitate to take it and put it in her bag. Shen Meng hated people who were pretentious. She gave the candied haws to her. If she refused for a while before accepting it, she might get scolded.

"I'm having a good time. With Director Cheng's support, the people in our cafeteria are very polite to me. I don't know where the lady who cuts vegetables heard that my family is having a hard time, so she secretly gave me a small piece of bacon before she left. Look."

Shen Meng took a look and found that it was indeed very small, about the size of a baby's fist, but she could also tell that it was someone else's good intention.

"Oh, they are all good meat. It seems that you get along well with this lady. But don't tell anyone about this. The hospital supplies the staff. Sometimes there is a little extra when purchasing, and it is normal for people to secretly take it back. But if there are not many things, it's okay. Just hide it and take it back. Oh, by the way, for safety reasons, next time the lady returns something to you, show it to Doctor Cheng at noon and let her know. Doctor Cheng won't take it back, but it's better for her to know."

Yu Xueli understood, nodded, and put the meat away. On her first day at work, she not only got a piece of meat, but also brought candied haws home for her two children. Her heart was full of hope for the future.

Uncle Guai was waiting for them at the main intersection. There were already quite a few people in the car, most of them were from Lujia Village. When they saw Shen Meng and Yu Xueli coming over, they greeted them warmly.

Now everyone knows that Shen Meng is the God of Wealth of Lujia Village. There are two aunts' daughters-in-law working in the workshop, earning fifty or sixty cents a day. Everyone is looking forward to when Shen Meng will work harder and get bigger orders so that their daughters-in-law can earn more money.

"Put it on. Your Zhenping asked me to bring it to you because he was afraid you would get cold."

Uncle Guai handed Shen Meng a military coat. Shen Meng opened it and put it on her shoulders with Yu Xueli. Yu Xueli glanced at her sideways and sighed in her heart, what a pity it is a woman!

If I were a man, I would not be able to bear it and would definitely fall in love with her.

The women in the car all looked at Shen Meng with envy on their faces. Some of the smart aunts felt uncomfortable when they saw that Yu Xueli, a divorced woman with a bad reputation, was now receiving a salary, and they wanted to say something.

"Mother Daya, how is your job going? How much do you make a month?"

"That's right, Aunt Daya, we also helped you when you got divorced. When you were discharged from the hospital, we went to see you and brought you some dried vegetables. Remember? If you need help at work, you have to remember your sister-in-law!"

"It's okay if you don't have a job. If you can make money, don't just think about yourself. You have to be grateful!" "Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? When Daya Niang got divorced, what did you do? You just gave her some dried vegetables. She just started working and has two children. She can't even live a good life, but you're thinking about her. Are you like that?"

The person who was speaking was Lu Changhong's aunt, Grandma Zhang. Her house happened to be very close to Yu Xueli's. When she heard people talking about her, she naturally didn't agree. Just because she lived close, she knew a little about her family's affairs. The food in her family was still the same as last year's work by one person. How could it be enough for the three of them to eat?
Now I am waiting for the salary at the end of the month to buy some good food for the children. This is good. I don’t know where this dog-faced thing came from, but he is here to ask for benefits.

"What you said is true. Don't think that just because you live nearby, you can bring the benefits to your own home. Humph!"

"That's right. Renda Ya Niang hasn't said anything yet, but you're the first to get anxious. Aren't you afraid that we'll snatch it away?"

Yu Xueli pulled Grandma Zhang and said, "Don't be angry, Auntie. It's windy like this, don't choke." After she said that, she looked at the other aunts.

"Aunt, I'm just a temporary worker. If I make any mistakes, I might be fired. What's the benefit? Cutting vegetables in the kitchen is hard work. I'm satisfied to get off work early. A country boy working in the county town, how can people look down on you? It's good enough if they don't point their fingers at you and scold you."

After she said this, she sniffed her nose. Now, the aunts who had been arguing just now immediately began to comfort Yu Xueli. She blinked at Shen Meng and nodded pretentiously.

Shen Meng watched this scene coldly, she didn't want to say anything. When Yu Xueli was so miserable, everyone felt sorry for her and were naturally willing to lend a hand. But now it was different. A poor person who originally had no food to eat and even no place to live suddenly had a stable job. This was hard to accept.

Typically, they dislike you for being poor, are afraid of you being rich, hate you for having something, and laugh at you for not having it.

When she was almost calmed down, Shen Meng slowly raised her head and looked at the arrogant aunts.

"The commune leader found this job for Dayaniang because he saw how hard her life was. Her case is a typical one. There are so many women who are beaten in the countryside. Who dares to divorce with their children? The leader's intention is very clear. He wants to protect the will of women comrades. This time, we were able to connect the commune and the textile factory. It's mainly because our village cares about Comrade Yu Xueli, so they put the hair flower workshop in our Lujia Village. If something bad happens to Comrade Yu Xueli in the future, it's not certain whether there will still be so many people from Lujia Village in the workshop. They are all members of the same commune. It's the same for women from other villages to come and work."

When they heard this, their faces turned pale. Looking at Shen Meng's expression, they were visibly beaten. They were very nervous just now. After all, their family was also making money. If something really happened, wouldn't it ruin their family's financial future and give others the opportunity to make money?
"Hey, I'm such a bad mouth, just say this, Daya Niang, please don't be angry with your aunt, and Sister Zhang, don't bother with us. You live close to Daya Niang, so you can just help her out!"

"Of course, Daya Niang, you are a soft-hearted person. If someone in your unit bullies you, you must tell your aunt. I will definitely go and scold them for you. What? People in the city are so great. People in the city are superior to us. It's all nonsense. They are all the same people. We are not afraid of them."

"I told you that our village workshop is all thanks to Xiao Meng, but you still didn't believe me. Look, I'm right!"

Yu Xueli looked at Shen Meng and smiled, then turned her head away. Really, this woman always exudes charm all the time, making people feel itchy.
