Chapter 220 Spicy, Numb and Satisfying
When Shen Meng was at work today, she felt a huge gap. Not to mention when she was managing the workshop, every time she went to the county town and met fellow villagers, they would take her with them when they greeted and chatted, and they were all laughing all the way. But now, except Wu Xianglan and Yu Xueli who talked to her, there was no one to talk to her.
Everyone kept silent, and Wu Xianglan pouted. She thought that although her sister-in-law was no longer the manager of the workshop, she had fought for benefits for everyone before. How could someone be so shameless? Even she couldn't do that.
In the morning, Zhou Jiaojiao kept saying that she was familiar with the leaders of the textile factory and was on good terms with the factory director's wife. How could she, the wife of a big factory director, embarrass a sweeper? She now had acquaintances in the textile factory, and she couldn't be bullied just because she wanted to. If the factory director's wife dared to provoke her, she would definitely lie down at the door of the textile factory, no, she would just hang herself to scare them to death.
Wu Xianglan was thinking a lot, and finally she understood how good Shen Meng was to her, why she always told her to get along well with people in the factory, and why she had to prevent Zhou Jiaojiao from making trouble. Look, she, the sweeper, hasn't even started to be dealt with yet, but her sister-in-law, the manager, has already had her title stripped away.
Damn, it's really hateful.
Yu Xueli already knew Shen Meng's plan, so she was not in a hurry at all. She looked at the people on the ox cart, thinking that when she went back to the village to ask for something, she would not allow any of these people's daughters and daughters-in-law to stay in the workshop. Bah, what heartless people.
On the way to the hospital, Shen Meng pulled her and found a place where no one was around to talk.
"I have something I want to tell you. I wanted to tell you yesterday, but something like that happened when I got home, so I didn't have time to tell you."
"What's the matter? Just tell me."
Shen Meng looked outside for a few seconds before leaning close to her ear and telling her about the transaction with the non-staple food factory. Yu Xueli's eyes widened immediately.
"You can't do this. If you get caught, it will be..."
"Hush, I'm just telling you that I can't do this alone. If you're scared, I'll go find someone else."
Shen Meng was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Yu Xueli hurriedly stopped her. She was really scared. If she was not careful, she would have to go to jail. If it really came to that, what would happen to her two children?
But looking at Shen Meng's look, you can tell that she has made up her mind. His good life now is all thanks to Shen Meng's help. From the beginning to now, she has never asked him to say anything.
This is the first time I've asked. If I really refuse, I will feel really guilty.
"Xiao Meng, I just want to ask you, are you sure you can guarantee the safety of this matter?"
This question is actually redundant. After all, if you are not careful, you will be in trouble. No one can guarantee safety. It's just that this matter is not as dangerous as the black market. The buyer is a non-staple food factory, so there is always an extra guarantee.
"If I tell you it's safe, you may not believe me, but don't worry, I won't let you do anything complicated. We are just middlemen, and we just get some benefits from it. Besides, our life is so stable now, even for the sake of the children, I won't take risks, don't worry."
"But I heard that the non-staple food factory has a fixed amount of food materials every month. How are they going to explain the sudden increase in grain?"
"That's their business. It has nothing to do with us. We're just setting up a connection. The share we get is from the seller, fifty dollars each time. You don't have to get involved now. I'll do it. I'll call you when I need help, Shirley. I'm just asking you if you'll do it."
Fifty yuan a time, Yu Xueli's eyes widened, and she swallowed nervously. If she worked for a year, she would be able to live comfortably. She didn't have much money on hand, and her family was struggling. She just wanted to save money so that she could live more comfortably in the future.
But now she hesitated for so much money
Yu Xueli looked at Shen Meng steadily. She did not tell Shen Xiaobin and Wu Xianglan, who were also in the county, about this matter. Instead, she told herself. It seemed that she really only trusted herself.
"Wealth and honor come from risk. Shen Meng, I'll do it."
"Okay, then it's settled. You go to work first. I'll call you if there's anything. Remember to keep it a secret."
After arriving at the bus company, Shen Meng started another day of her office life. In her free time, she drank milk tea and ate spicy noodles, making everyone in the office drool over their greed.
While eating, Shen Meng suddenly looked down at the spicy strips in her hand. Couldn't this thing also be given to the people at the non-staple food factory for tasting?
It's spicy, numb and satisfying.
After having this idea, Shen Meng hurriedly looked at the notebook and wrote down the ingredients. She had never made this before and didn't know if she could succeed.
After returning home in the evening, I took out all the ingredients needed for spicy strips and started making them myself.
Lu Zhenping and a few other children were in the main room, and from time to time they would stick their heads out to see what was happening in the kitchen, their hearts were in their throats.
"I said that mother was only happy on the surface, but actually she was very sad inside."
"When I went to school in the morning, Fourth Aunt was dressed up very smartly. She even wore the small leather shoes she wore when she got married. Her hair was greasy. I wonder if she had smeared lard on it. Didn't she say everywhere that she didn't want to go to the workshop? How come she got up earlier than a student like me?"
"Brother, that's what Fourth Aunt said. If she didn't say it, she would seem like a bad person. The workshop was managed by Mother, and she took it away. Some people outside said good things about her, and some people said she was just jealous of Mother. I never realized that Fourth Aunt was such a bad person before."
"He is good and bad. He looks like a good person, but he is actually a bad guy."
"Bad guy, bad guy, may God strike her to death with thunder."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Lu Mingkai? You are so young, but you keep talking about God. Who did you learn this from? You even want God to thunder. Are you related to God? If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up."
Lu Mingkai shrank his neck in anger, glanced at Lu Zhenping cautiously, and then quickly ran to the kitchen.
"Mom, Daddy is going to spank me. Daddy is going to spank my little butt!"
Lu Zhenping looked speechlessly at Mingkai who was running away with his hands covering his buttocks. He had no intention of interrupting the children's discussion. They also had their own ideas and it was normal for them to want to speak, even if they were talking to their elders. But every time this little guy said something, it made people have a heart attack.
I was just idle. Every time I went out, my eyes were fixed on the old lady, and I remembered their idle conversations most clearly.
