Chapter 27 Moved

After Li Yue's narration, Jiang Hua learned about what happened in the factory in the past few days.

Because the clothing factory was in recession, Lu Shang offered high salary to recruit people, and the chef in the cafeteria, Master Li, immediately changed jobs.

This guy was so dishonest that he took several other chefs from the canteen with him without saying anything.

This is great, the canteen of the garment factory has become an empty shell, and it has become a problem for the female workers in the factory to eat.

If you don’t have enough to eat, how can you work with peace of mind?

Lu Shang's move can't be said to be innocuous, it's simply draining the bottom of the cauldron!

Originally, if the clothing factory had money on its books and hired a few more chefs, this problem could be easily solved.

But the problem is, the factory has no money, not even a penny.

There was a warehouse full of bell-bottom pants that could not be sold at all. Lu Shang spared no effort in blocking the sales.

He occupies the square. There is no place to hold an exhibition. Let's set up street stalls. There will be gangsters coming to make trouble every day.

The nearby clothing merchants were all attracted by Lu Shang, and the clothing factory was really on the verge of despair.

Fortunately, the female workers in the factory are very united. They are all old employees of the former Shigang Garment Factory. They have worked here for many years and almost consider the garment factory their home.

Although the factory is very difficult, no one leaves.

We can't recruit willing chefs, and the food problem must be solved.

It was under this situation that Su Zhirou came to the garment factory and with her weak shoulders, she could handle the entire canteen work by herself.

Cooking for more than five hundred people is no easy task.

According to Li Yue, Su Zhirou gets up at 4:30 every morning, when it is still dark, and rides a human-powered tricycle to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. She has to make several trips back and forth.

She was also the only one who moved and unloaded the vegetables. She used her weak shoulders to carry the purchased vegetables into the cafeteria in bags with difficulty.

Then, I did all the washing, chopping, and cooking by myself, almost from morning to night, without even a moment's leisure.

After a few days, she lost a lot of weight, which made Li Yue feel heartbroken.

She persuaded Su Zhirou several times to find some female workers in the factory to help her.

But Su Zhirou always smiled gently, then shook her head and refused. She said that in such difficult times, it is not easy for everyone to stick to their posts, and she cannot disturb others.

This woman seems to want to use her weak shoulders to carry her husband's difficulties in the factory alone.

After Jiang Hua heard this, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. Without saying a word, he walked quickly to the cafeteria.

"Silly woman, so stupid..."

Jiang Hua murmured to himself, feeling as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.

Garment factory canteen.

Su Zhirou parked the rickshaw at the entrance of the canteen and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves.

There weren't enough ingredients, so she just went to buy some more.

Then, she walked to the carriage of the tricycle, bowed down, gritted her teeth, and carried a woven bag full of cabbage on her weak shoulders. She walked into the cafeteria with a slight stagger.

"Mom, hold on, I'm here to help you!"

The three-year-old daughter dropped the potatoes she was peeling and ran over.

"Nanny, get out of the way, it's dangerous!"

Su Zhirou walked around her daughter, worried that the woven bag on her shoulder would fall and hit her daughter.

"Sister, please slow down and be careful."

Su Danyue turned around worriedly and said with concern.

As a blind girl, she was not idle and took the initiative to take on the task of washing vegetables.

This very simple job is a bit difficult for her because she can't see and can only explore with her hands.

After telling her sister, she struggled to carry a bucket of water and slowly poured it into the plastic basin.

When Jiang Hua walked into the cafeteria, what he saw was a scene of a family working together to overcome difficulties.

He almost shed tears. Even his three-year-old daughter had to help peel potatoes, and his blind sister-in-law had to help wash vegetables. He could imagine how difficult it was for his wife these days.

"Lu Shang is a bastard, I'm not done with you!"

He gritted his teeth and made another mental note to Lu Shang.

Worried that his wife would twist her waist, he quickly walked over, took the cabbage full of woven bags, and carried it on his shoulders.

"Where to put this?" he asked.

Su Zhirou didn't expect her husband to appear suddenly. She was startled at first. When she saw that the person next to her was Jiang Hua, she was surprised and happy: "When did you come back?"

Then, she realized that her husband was still carrying a bag full of cabbage, and pointed to the corner to indicate where to put the vegetables.

"Brother-in-law, are you back?"

Su Danyue raised her head in surprise.

In the past, she was full of fear of her brother-in-law because this man liked to beat her sister when he was drunk.

But now, with her brother-in-law by her side, she can feel reassured and warm.

"Zhirou, so do you. Xiaoyue can't see. If you ask her to wash the vegetables, what if she falls?"

Jiang Hua softly blamed his wife.

After blaming her, I felt heartbroken. After not seeing her for a few days, she really lost a lot of weight.

He hugged his wife forcefully into his arms and said in a guilty tone, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you. I shouldn't blame you."

"Brother-in-law, I volunteered. We are all a family. I am very happy to be able to help share some of the burden."

Su Danyue had a slight smile on her lips.

"Dad, I can peel potatoes now. I'm new to this. Am I good at it?"

The daughter showed off, holding up the peeled potatoes.

"Awesome, Nannan is the best!"

Jiang Hua blinked quickly and turned his face away with a forced smile. He was afraid that he would really not be able to hold back and cry.

"Ahua, just come back. No matter what the fate of the garment factory is, our family will stand by your side and support you!"

Su Zhirou hugged her husband with her backhand and put her cheek against his chest. Listening to the strong and powerful heartbeat, she felt an indescribable sense of security in her heart.

"Don't worry, as long as I come back, the factory will get better soon."

Jiang Hua's words were full of confidence.

"Oh, I was so busy chatting that I almost forgot to cook. You, a big factory manager, can't let your employees go hungry on your first day back."

Su Zhirou woke up with a start, pushed her husband away, and hurried to the stove.

"How can I? In order to thank everyone for their perseverance, I will cook in person today."

Jiang Hua was very touched by the persistence and perseverance of the factory workers.

His wife was at the stove, busy making a fire to cook. He walked over to Su Danyue, squatted next to the big plastic basin, and quickly started washing vegetables.

My sister-in-law can't see, so she made some mistakes in washing the vegetables. However, the factory workers are reasonable and won't say anything even if she eats dirt.

"Brother-in-law, I can do it."

Su Danyue said weakly.

"Xiaoyue, after my brother-in-law finishes this business, he will take you to the provincial capital to treat your eyes."

Jiang Hua made some calculations in his mind, and after making three trains of leather fabrics sent by Xu Li into fitness pants and selling them, the profit would be enough to treat Xiao Yue's eyes.

"Brother-in-law, I'm not in a hurry."

Su Danyue waved her hands repeatedly.
