Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 219 The Weak Girl of the Age 26

Shen Bowen came to the door with a cane and knocked hard, explaining to Niu Ru anxiously: "Mom, you always wanted me to take you to the city to enjoy life, this is a good opportunity! Mom, think about it, as long as I buy that job, I will be an employee of the city machinery factory, you will have face if you tell others about it, and now I am an employee of the city machinery factory, do you still worry about not being able to find a girl in the city?"

Niu Ru was somewhat moved by what he said, and he opened the door a crack and asked, "Son! Is what you said true?"

Shen Bowen raised his head and spoke confidently: "Mom, within a year, I will definitely bring you a girl from the city. After I buy a house in the city, I will take you and dad over to live in retirement."

Hearing her son say this, Niu Ru was really moved. She imagined her future life happily, going to the city to enjoy a good life~~ Then she would have to eat meat, white rice and white flour every day. She was really tired of corn grits, dark flour and potatoes.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Niu Ru opened the door with a smile on his face, and took out all the money hidden under the bed and in the closet and put it in Shen Pengzu's hand: "Boss, go and give the money to the secretary! It's better to settle this matter as soon as possible!"

Shen Pengzu counted out 800 yuan and watched the money being taken away one by one.

Niu Ru felt a pain in her heart, but when she thought about the good life she would have after buying the job, she clenched her hands and turned her head away to avoid seeing this scene.

Just when Shen Pengzu was about to leave with the money, Niu Ru ran up and grabbed Shen Pengzu's hand tightly: "Boss, think about it again, this... this is 800 yuan..."

Shen Pengzu felt a little distressed. After the 800 yuan was spent, there was only 17 yuan left in the family.

On second thought, the monthly salary of the city machinery factory is 35 yuan, which can be recovered in 2 years.

I didn't feel so bad anymore, I took the money and walked out

Niu Ru chased him out again and said: "Why don't you talk to the secretary and see if you can negotiate a lower price?"

Shen Pengzu frowned and impatiently shook off Niu Ru's hand: "This is a job at the Municipal Machinery Factory. If the secretary didn't have connections, it wouldn't have been Bowen's turn. If this job gets out, there will be plenty of people who want it. The secretary has already negotiated 200 yuan. What if we bargain again and that person gets angry and doesn't want to sell it?"

Niu Ru covered his heart and looked at Shen Pengzu with 800 yuan and left.

Shen Bowen came out on crutches, somewhat annoyed by Niu Ru's greed for money: "Mom, when I get a job, I will be able to earn back the 800 yuan soon, mom! Don't worry, I will definitely be filial to you."

Niu Ru felt better. "Your leg is still injured. Don't stand there all the time. We don't know when your father will be back. Go back to the house first!"

Shen Pengzu hurried to Sheng Qizheng's house and handed the money in his arms to Sheng Qizheng: "Secretary, you are really capable. You can get such a good job. Here is 800 yuan. Secretary, I wonder when you can hand over the work?"

Sheng Qi took the thick stack of money and counted it. After confirming that there was no shortage of money, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about my work. You can go and hand over the work after I give you the money tomorrow."

Shen Pengzu's smile deepened: "Bowen's injury hasn't healed yet, can I go with him tomorrow?"

"Of course you can, but I told them that I bought this job for my wife's nephew, so don't let it slip when the time comes!"

“Definitely not”

After agreeing with Sheng Qizheng on the departure time, Shen Pengzu went home with a happy face.

After Shen Pengzu left, Sheng Qi took out the 800 yuan, counted out 200 yuan and put it in his pocket.

He happily lit a cigarette and started to smoke.

When Shen Pengzu got home, he immediately told Shen Bowen and Niu Ru that he would be handing over his work tomorrow.

Shen Bowen was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. The next day, he went to the county town with huge dark circles under his eyes.

In Niu Ru's mind, now that the money has been paid, the job is a sure thing.

So she proudly showed off to the team that her son had found a job in the city's machinery factory.

He told everyone he met, and soon everyone in the team knew that Shen Bowen had bought a job as a worker in the city's machinery factory.

All the women who wanted to find a job for their children went to Niu Ru to inquire about the situation.

Even those who originally disliked Niu Ru gathered around him.

Niu Ru particularly enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people, especially seeing their envious and jealous eyes, it was as refreshing as eating a bite of ice watermelon in the dog days of summer.

"Niu Ru, did your son really find a job in the city's machinery factory? I haven't seen him go out yet, how did he find it?"

Niu Ru told Sheng Qizheng about helping him find a job without thinking.

The women who gathered around were all shocked when they heard this.

"Ah? The secretary helped your Bowen find a job? This secretary is really good to your family!"

"Then let's go talk to the secretary and see if we can help our kid find a job!"

"I don't want a job in the city, just a job in a town or county will do!"

Niu Ru looked at Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru carrying hoes passing by, and hurriedly said loudly: "My son said that he would hand over all his wages to me when he earned them. He also said that he would find a wife in the city and take me to the city to enjoy a good life."

Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru heard what Niu Ru said, but they did not stop.

Seeing that neither of them paid any attention to her, Niu Ru became very angry.

Then she thought about her son who was about to get a good job, and raised her head high again. Niu Ru felt that she had won this time: "She gave birth to a tubercular child and still pampered him all day long. She didn't know what was there to pamper him for. She never knew when he might die~~~" She said the last five words so loudly.

Gu Jin and Guo Zhenru both stopped and turned to stare at Niu Ru. If looks could kill, Niu Ru would have been stabbed to pieces long ago.

The women who were originally surrounding Niu Ru also took several steps back.

Guo Zhenru came to Niu Ru with a hoe on his shoulder, and slapped Niu Ru to the ground.

Then he put down the hoe, sat directly on Niu Ru, and slapped Niu Ru with both hands: "You said I can do it, but you said I can't do it!"

Someone wanted to go up and pull it, but was stopped by Gu Jin.

The man looked at Gu Jin's creepy eyes, silently withdrew his hand and whispered: "We are all in the same team, there is no need to cause a death over a sentence..."

Gu Jin crossed his arms and looked around, then glanced at Niu Ru and said calmly, "Don't worry, my wife knows what's going on, she won't die."

When Captain Tang Bei was called over, Guo Zhenru had already stood up, and Gu Jin was holding Guo Zhenru's hand and blowing on her.
