Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

That night, the whole Lijiatun was bustling with activity. Even the team leader and several cadres came to Zhang Xiuhua's house to chat with them.

Of course, the captain wanted to ask his son how he was doing in the South.

This time, Zhang Xiuhua did not deliberately avoid the suffering they had to endure.

When the members learned that they were working on the construction site and climbing high bamboo frames, they felt creepy. If they fell down, they would lose their lives.

But if I don't go out to work and just farm at home, I won't make any money.

The captain's wife, Song Lianhua, had tears in her eyes and patted Guoxiang on the shoulder, "You must study hard. Your father has suffered so much for this family."

It is indeed hard work. Who among rural people has not built a house? It is a very impressive job. The weather in the south is very hot, and the work is doubled under the scorching sun.

One member sighed, "It's not easy to make money anywhere."

This is true. Farming is hard work, and building houses for people is also hard work. It's just a matter of one making less money or one making more money, it all depends on personal choice.

Zhang Xiuhua chatted with them for a while, then picked some vegetables and cucumbers from her private plot.

When she was not at home, Aunt Wang Er took good care of her land. The vegetables grew well and did not wither.

She went back to the house, steamed rice, fried some vegetables, and made a cold salad of cucumbers and black fungus. She then called the children who were playing back to eat.

The villagers did not disperse. Zhang Xiuhua and the children held their bowls and chatted with them at the door.

"Xiuhua, is it really easy for us women to find jobs over there?" A daughter-in-law looked at her expectantly.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded. "It's easier for women to find jobs. There are a lot of factories that want female workers. They also provide dormitories."

Some couples do not want to live apart. Besides, their children are taken care of by the elderly, and they also want to go out and try their luck. It is always better for a couple to earn money than for one person alone.

Some wives whispered to each other, "I want to go out to work next year too. If I don't go with him, who knows if he will mess around outside!"

Why are they worried about their men? Because Zhang Xiuhua just mentioned a small matter that caused dissatisfaction among these wives.

When I was staying in a hotel, someone slipped a note through the crack of my door. It was a small advertisement. This happened more than once or twice. It shows that Pengcheng is developing very well, but there are also many women doing that kind of business.

Her words were immediately echoed by others, "That's right! Make some money, don't let the little fairies outside take advantage of it!"

They don't necessarily love their men, some people simply consider money. Going out to earn money and spending it on other women is something they can't stand.

That night, throughout Lijiatun, every household had their lights on and people were talking about all kinds of things.

Some families immediately wanted to split up the family and had to go out to work.

"Why can the eldest child go out to work, but we in the third room can't? Dad, Mom, please stop being so partial?!"

"Yes! You gave birth to me and raised me. The benefits can't all go to the eldest wife."

Some families felt that the captain's rule that each household could only provide one able-bodied laborer was unreliable. The conditions must be relaxed. Why can able-bodied laborers go out, but women cannot?

"What is the captain's intention? How many work points can we women earn at home? It's much easier to find a job than men."

"I also think this rule discriminates against women. The chairman has said that 'women hold up half the sky', and his idea is wrong. I will go to the captain tomorrow to ask for an explanation!"

Some families' wives and daughters have to go out to work.

"Mom and Dad, can you bear to see me and my child's father living apart? Xiuhua said there are a lot of goblins over there. What if the child's father can't control himself?"

"Mom and Dad, I know that my family is in financial difficulty. I have to support my grandparents and my younger brothers and sisters. Even if I find a partner, good families won't want me. I want to go out and work, at least to make some money to support the family."

Some families have young children and elderly people who cannot work outside. They are simply discussing Xiuhua taking a few children out for a trip.

“I heard that Xiuhua took the children to a five-star hotel and spent more than a thousand yuan on a meal.”

"Really? You're just bragging, right?"

"That's what Youcai said. How could what that kid said be false?!"

……

The appearance of Zhang Xiuhua and the children was like a drop of kerosene falling into cold water, instantly igniting Lijiatun. Until midnight, half of the lights were still on. On the contrary, the instigator was sleeping soundly.

There was no choice but to sit on hard seats along the way. They were sleepy and hungry, especially Zhang Xiuhua and Youcai. In order to guard the pile of goods, they could only sleep until midnight.

The next day we had to get up early to sell goods. At around 8 o'clock in the evening, everyone climbed into bed and fell asleep because they were so sleepy that they all touched the pillows.

The next morning, Youcai was the first to wake up. He woke up at 5:30 every morning at school. These days on the train, the time was about the same.

After waking up, he got up and Ji Lin was awakened by his noise.

Zhang Xiuhua had said before that they had to sell the goods themselves. After they sold the goods, they could help her sell them, and then they would pay him a salary and a commission.

It was only eight o'clock. Xu Chunying was counting eggs outside, while Zhang Xiuhua and the children were sitting at the dining table eating.

They cooked a pot of noodles and took some dried radish and kimchi from the jar. Everyone ate and drank until they were full.

Sitting on the tractor, the children chattered about how to sell the goods.

It’s not realistic to sell everything in the store as there’s not enough space for so many people.

Youcai suggested going out to sell, and he took Jilin and Yaoyao with him, and the three of them went to the store together. Zhuzhu was responsible for staying in the store.

The reason why he didn't bring Zhuzhu was because Zhuzhu was too young and very lively, and Youcai was afraid that he couldn't control his sister.

Jilin is only two years older than Zhuzhu, but Youcai is not afraid of him running around because Jilin is simply too lazy to move.

In the county town, Youcai was not afraid of getting lost, and Zhang Xiuhua also agreed with his plan.

Youcai told them that their first stop could be the Children's Palace to sell their wares.

Because children in the county will attend various remedial classes during the summer vacation, they all have pocket money on hand, and when they see such a good and cheap electronic watch, they will definitely want to buy it.

Jilin and Yaoyao thought it made sense and quickly agreed.

Xu Chunying had to deliver goods to several houses, and they didn't get out of the car until the fourth one.

Xu Chunying still had to make deliveries to other houses. "You guys can take the bus back home at night. The bus will go back directly later."

"Row!"

After seeing off the tractor, Zhang Xiuhua said hello to the boss and started to unpack the sacks.

The goods she imports include electronic watches, fabrics, clothes,

Youcai, Jilin and Yaoyao only took watches. The fabrics and clothes were too heavy, and the three of them could only take a few pieces. Besides, clothes were sized. It was inconvenient to carry.

Zhang Xiuhua brought a table and clothes drying rack from home. She placed the watch and fabrics on the table and hung the clothes on the clothes drying rack.

Because Zhang Xiuhua didn't arrive at the county town until 8:40, there were many customers buying vegetables at this time. Many of them were aunties. They saw watches, fabrics and clothes for sale here.

They all came over out of curiosity.

The prices of watches vary according to their types. Zhang Xiuhua gave various prices. The cheapest electronic watch costs two yuan, the same as the price in the capital.

Not to mention, even the cheapest domestic mechanical watches cost dozens of yuan. She only charges two yuan, attracting many customers to watch.

"This watch is nice. It's light and easy to recognize." An old lady bought it directly. If you can't afford a mechanical watch, buy an electronic watch, and you don't have to worry about the time when you go out to buy groceries.
