Chapter 698: I will shelter you from the wind and rain
Liu Dongmei hurriedly came out and opened the door: "Brother, why don't you go to work?"
In fact, she should also go to work. She has seen Sun Ximei acting like this these past two days, so she took leave and stayed home.
Liu Dongsheng walked in and said: "I talked to the military commander, and he said that my mother can go to the factory to assemble walkie-talkies, live in a dormitory in the factory, and have three meals a day. The salary is based on the piece."
Liu Dongmei smiled: "Oh, this is great."
The key is that Sun Ximei has an income and her back is straightened up.
Sun Ximei looked hesitant: "It's not good. I don't know anything, so don't delay the work in the factory."
Liu Dongsheng said: "No. People who work in the factory know nothing at the beginning and learn slowly. As long as you are willing to learn, you are not afraid of being slower. Director Li never says anything. Think about me.
, I didn’t know anything except driving when I started.”
Sun Ximei shook her head: "That's what I said. But you are all young people. I am almost fifty, and I have never gone to school. How can I learn it? Besides, my eyesight and energy are not good."
Liu Dongsheng said: "Don't be afraid. The factory director said that if you don't want to assemble walkie-talkies, just see what kind of work you like in the factory."
Liu Dongmei said: "Yes, Mom. You don't know what you are afraid of, Commander Jun...Besides, wages are calculated on a piece-by-piece basis. If you can't do it well, you won't waste his money. Just give it a try."
Sun Ximei said hesitantly: "Then give it a try." The key point is that she heard that there is a dormitory, which is better than living here at Li Wenyong's house. Now this is the best way, there is no other way out.
------
Liu Dongsheng took Sun Ximei around the factory. Finally, Sun Ximei pointed to the jade workshop and said, "Let me help you polish this jade. This doesn't require skills or good eyesight."
Liu Dongsheng hesitated upon hearing this: "This is Tao Guangming's workshop."
Tao Guangming was inside watching them carving jade. When he heard people talking outside, he came out in a hurry: "Hey, Aunt Sun."
Liu Dongsheng was about to speak but stopped.
Tao Guangming said with a smile: "Aunt Sun, you came just in time. I have a lot of work recently, and I am short of someone to polish the finished products. No one in the factory has the time to help, and I am worried about recruiting new people from outside. Are you willing to help?"
When Sun Ximei heard this, she clapped her hands: "Oh, that's great, what a coincidence. I was just about to do this."
Tao Guangming winked at Liu Dongsheng quietly and helped Sun Ximei in.
Zhao Lin saw Liu Dongsheng upstairs and hurriedly took a key down and handed it to him: "This is the key to Aunt Sun's dormitory, single room. I'm afraid it will be too noisy for her to live with young girls."
Liu Dongsheng's eyes were red, as if there was a piece of cotton stuck in his throat. It took him a while before he said, "Thank you for causing trouble to everyone."
Zhao Lin patted his arm: "Hey, what's the matter? Who doesn't have times when they're in a hurry? If you have something to say, don't keep it to yourself. I told Director Zhou to add Aunt Sun to the three meals.
Put it on the list. Just let her go directly to the cafeteria to eat."
Zhou Liguo is now helping Li Wenjun with logistics because Zhao Lin is too busy to take care of it.
-----
Liu Dongsheng simply went back when he got off work in the afternoon and brought Sun Ximei and her clothes and personal belongings over.
Liu Jiefang was completely panicked now and held Liu Dongsheng tight.
Liu Dongsheng opened his fingers and walked away.
Liu Jiefang rolled around again and found that no one even came to see him. It was really boring, so he got up by himself, leaned on the sofa and sighed.
-------
Liu Dongmei was a little worried when she saw that Sun Ximei had been taken out by Liu Dongsheng for a day and didn't come back for lunch. She was thinking about making a call to the factory to ask, but Liu Dongsheng knocked on the door.
Liu Dongsheng said with a smile: "Dongmei, my mother is staying in the factory. Comrade Tao Guangming's place happens to be short of a jade polishing master. I saw that my mother worked for a day and did a good job. She was in charge of someone in the factory all day.
You don’t have to worry about three meals a day and dormitory accommodation. She will come to see you when she is free."
When Liu Dongmei heard this, she smiled and her eyes turned red: "Oh, that's great."
Li Wenyong listened inside and sighed secretly: How could there be so many coincidences? Li Wenjun must have said something to Tao Guangming.
-----
Sun Ximei was a little uneasy and shy at first, but later she found out that the youngest jade masters here in Tao Guangming were over forty years old, and she was not too old, so she felt relieved.
Tao Guangming specially asked the oldest and most patient master to teach Sun Ximei.
Sun Ximei was used to doing trivial housework, and now she didn't find it boring to do jade polishing. Instead, she spent the day chatting and laughing with several masters.
Liu Dongsheng came to ask her to have dinner when the time came.
There is a small bathhouse in the factory, and clothes can be hung in the corridor of the dormitory.
She doesn't have to cook every day, she only needs to wash her clothes, and her life is much more comfortable than before.
Tao Guangming gave her ten yuan in advance so that she would have money to buy it if she needed anything.
When Sun Ximei received the money she earned for the first time, she burst into tears and sighed: "It turns out that I can also make money. If I had known better, why would I suffer from that bastard's anger? I have been beaten for decades in vain."
When she first came here, she was very depressed. She was always embarrassed when meeting people in the factory area. She would slink around like a mouse crossing the street with her head lowered.
Later, everyone learned about her experience and often took the initiative to talk to her and ask her for help.
Now when Sun Ximei sees people, she greets them from afar, her face is red and her eyes are bright.
Liu Dongmei said: "My mother really feels like she has come back to life again. It's great."
When she is in a good mood, she can get through what needs to be done, and small problems become no problem.
Everyone is happy.
Only Liu Jiefang was unhappy.
He is now a joke throughout the mining community.
"Tsk, tsk, he is dozens of years old, his wife ran away, and his children ignore him, how pitiful he is."
"Isn't that what he deserves? Who wants him to beat his wife? How well his wife and daughter took care of him before. The arm was injured in the fall, and it recovered as if it was not injured."
"Yes, this is your own fault."
But there are also people from the older generation who scold Liu Dongmei and others.
"There must be something wrong with Sun Ximei's style. She ran away from home with just one slap. This means she was beaten too little. If I were Liu Jiefang, I would catch her and beat her to death."
"That's right! Children don't help their biological father, and they help their mother run away from home. What kind of bastards are these? You want me to beat them to death."
"The key point is that Li Wenjun still dares to take him in. Isn't this because he is meddling in other people's affairs just to keep the world in peace?"
Li Wenjun heard this and was not angry. Instead, he posted a notice at the factory gate with a smile: "From today on, our factory will provide free accommodation, three meals a day, lawyer assistance, and free police calls to gay men and women who are suffering from domestic violence.
Work can be solved if necessary.”
The mine suddenly became quiet, and no one dared to say another word.
Anyone can be provoked, except Li Wenjun.
When this guy makes up his mind to harm someone, he can make life worse than death.
