Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

Chapter 74 Jia Zhang takes office

A few days later, Yi Zhonghai excitedly found Qin Huairu and told her that the matter had been settled. He used his connections and pleaded with his superiors to arrange Jia Zhang in an easy position.

Qin Huairu was naturally grateful, which made Yi Zhonghai very happy. He immediately asked Jia Zhang to go with him to the steel mill to report.

When Jia Zhang followed Yi Zhonghai into the steel rolling mill, she was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything she saw was new to her and she was so excited that she didn't even know where to move her feet.

Yi Zhonghai led her directly to the second floor of the office building. When they arrived at the door of Director Li's office, Yi Zhonghai motioned Jia Zhang to wait outside, and then he knocked on Director Li's door.

"Please come in."

Director Li was sitting behind his desk. When he saw Yi Zhonghai coming in, he smiled and said, "Master Yi is here. Come and sit down. Xiao Hu, make a cup of tea for Master Yi."

Although Yi Zhonghai has become a sixth-level worker, he still has the strength of an eighth-level worker, so Director Li will naturally not neglect him.

"Director Li, no need to bother, I'll be leaving in a moment."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Director Li said, "Master Yi, you go ahead."

"Didn't Jia Dongxu pass away? His family member wants to take his place. A few days ago I asked you to arrange a lighter job for her. Do you remember?"

Director Li seemed to have just remembered something. "Yes, yes, there is such a thing. I checked and found that our factory cafeteria is still short of staff. The work there is relatively easy. How about letting the family member come in and ask her if she can go to the cafeteria?"

The canteen of the steel rolling mill only serves lunch. Apart from the clerical staff, it is one of the most relaxing places in the factory.

Yi Zhonghai was very happy to hear this, as the leader still gave him face.

Director Li was also very happy. He thought of Qin Huairu whom he met that day. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as picturesque, her figure was graceful, and her tears were like pear blossoms in the rain. She was so pitiful. He was full of anticipation to meet such a beautiful young wife again.

When Jia Zhang heard that she was assigned to the cafeteria, she was even more happy. She could bring things back every day like Sha Zhu!

She heard someone calling family members to come in, so she rushed in with a smile on her face and bared her teeth.

"Hello, Director Li. Thank you for taking care of me!"

Director Li was startled by Jia Zhang who rushed in. Where did this blind man come from?

When he saw Jia Zhang's fleshy face, he was even more shocked. Where's that young wife? What the hell is she?!

My goodness, this is just like Sai Zhang Fei. Is she going to eat me?

Director Li's mood was like bungee jumping, falling directly from the sky to the ground, and his face dropped.

"Lao Yi, who is this? Is she your wife?"

"No, no," Yi Zhonghai hastily denied, "Director Li, this is Jia Dongxu's mother. His wife is pregnant. Let his mother take care of him for two years. She can come back to work after Dongxu's wife has given birth."

Director Li, whose heart was shaken, was in no mood to pay attention to Yi Zhonghai. He waved his hand and said:

"Okay, take her to the personnel department with the note, and then go find the logistics director and arrange for her to work in the cafeteria. She can only receive an apprentice's salary now."

By the time Yi Zhonghai took Jia Zhang to complete the process, Jia Zhang had already become a canteen employee.

In the cafeteria, Sha Zhu heard from others that Jia Dongxu's family members were coming to the cafeteria to work, and his blood immediately boiled.

He first smoothed his hair with his hands, then straightened his clothes. Then he cleared his throat, straightened his back, and a shy smile spread across his face.

As the footsteps got closer, Sha Zhu's heart beat faster and faster. When the door curtain was lifted, his heart almost jumped out of his throat!

When Jia Zhang lifted the curtain and walked in, she saw Sha Zhu with a big smile on his face. She immediately laughed, "Sha Zhu, are you here to welcome me?"

Sha Zhu's heart, which had just jumped into his throat, has stopped beating.

Where is my sister Qin?

Where is my sister Qin?

Jia Zhangshi, why are you here, old woman? Give me back Sister Qin!

Sha Zhu was devastated. He cursed madly in his heart. Who came up with this idea? Why didn't they let Sister Qin come, but let Jia Zhang come to work in the cafeteria?

After finally recovering, Sha Zhu came to Jia Zhang's side and asked in a low voice, "Aunt, why are you here for work?"

Jia Zhang, who was very excited, replied casually, "Hey, we are all contributing to the country, and I also want to contribute to the construction of New China!"

Sha Zhu thought to himself, you old woman really knows how to flatter yourself!

There must be a lot of work to do in a canteen that serves tens of thousands of people. It was Jia Zhang's first day at work and he was quite excited. He didn't talk much with Sha Zhu and took the initiative to help with the work.

Sha Zhu, who had originally fantasized about going to and from get off work with Sister Qin and living together with her, looked more upset than a donkey. He walked to the chopping board, picked up the knife and started chopping the vegetables with a "clang, clang, clang" sound.

Qin Huairu was not so relaxed at home, as someone from the Jia family came.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but Dongxu's pension is all in my mother-in-law's hands. She didn't give me a penny at all. She gave me cash every day when I bought groceries. Why don't you wait for my mother-in-law to come back and ask her for it?"

The middle-aged woman sitting on the chair had a sad face and she pleaded:

"Huai Ru, if there wasn't an emergency at home, your sister-in-law wouldn't come to borrow money from you. Besides, it's only 20 yuan, not much. Just help your sister-in-law. I'll pay you back after I get my salary in a couple of days."

"Sister-in-law," Qin Huairu's eyes were full of tears again, and she sobbed, "You don't know, ever since Dongxu left, my mother-in-law has never treated me as a member of the Jia family. She is always on guard against me, and even takes over my job!"

"To be honest, I haven't had a dry meal in all these days. And I'm pregnant. How can I live like this?"

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she actually lay down on the table and cried.

The middle-aged woman sighed and had to leave the Jia family.

After hearing the middle-aged woman leave, Qin Huairu raised her head. At this time, she no longer cried or shed tears. Instead, she looked at the figure going away outside the door with a calm face.

Three waves of people came to borrow money today, and she dismissed them all with various reasons.

Qin Huairu knew in her heart that if she lent the money once, she could lend it out countless times. Her family had lost its man, and this money was for her life-saving, so how could she lend it to others!

She had already deposited the money in the bank, and she hid the bank deposit slip very secretly. Even if someone turned her house upside down, they might not be able to find it.

It's just annoying to deal with batches of people borrowing money every day.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Jia Zhang had been busy for most of the day and went straight to bed after get off work, while Qin Huairu was still hanging around outside. Finally, she waited for Sha Zhu.

Seeing Sha Zhu entering the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu shouted happily: "Sha Zhu, are you off work?"

Hearing this sweet voice, Sha Zhu was immediately filled with joy, "Sister Qin, are you waiting for me here?"

"Dongxu borrowed twenty dollars from you some time ago. I'll pay it back to you first. Don't forget this."

Sha Zhu was so happy that he didn't know what was going on. He quickly declined, "Hey, it's just 20 yuan, Sister Qin, you can use it first, and I'll ask you for it when I need it."

Sha Zhu handed over the lunch box in his hand after he finished speaking, "Sister Qin, this is the leftover fish from today, how about you and the children try it?"

"This is not appropriate." Qin Huairu declined while taking the lunch box in her hands, "What if Yu Shui comes back?"

Sha Zhu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, as a cook, how can I let my sister starve?"

"That's fine." Qin Huairu took the lunch box and said, "Zhu Zi, I need your help."

"you say!"

"This is what happened," Qin Huairu pleaded again, "My mother-in-law is so old, she will definitely cause a lot of trouble when she is at work. I just heard her say that she and you are both in the cafeteria now, and I hope you can take care of her more."

Seeing Qin Huairu's pleading expression, Sha Zhu's heart melted, and he quickly decided, "Don't worry, Sister Qin, I will definitely take good care of you in the cafeteria!"

"Thank you, Zhuzi."

Sha Zhu was so happy, but what he didn't know was that Xu Damao would give him a surprise tomorrow.
