Chapter 376: Wages and the Deaf Old Lady

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Regardless of age or gender, everyone's face was filled with smiles today.

Because today is payday, everyone naturally couldn't help but feel happy.

In the afternoon, it was the turn of the logistics department staff to receive their wages.

Song Yulan received two wages amidst a crowd of envious and jealous gazes.

One was Cao Weiguo's wage, which totaled one hundred and eight yuan and five mao.

One was Song Yulan's wage of twenty-three yuan and five mao; after becoming a regular employee, the wage would be adjusted upward.

After Song Yulan took her wages, the queue for receiving wages exploded.

The wages of Cao Weiguo and Song Yulan, a couple, added up to a full one hundred and thirty-two yuan!

How could so much money be spent!

In the long queue, Yu Haitang's eyes were red with jealousy.

If she had married Cao Weiguo, she would be the one everyone envied.

Instead of Song Yulan, that village girl who only graduated from elementary school.

After Song Yulan joined the job, she attracted the attention of many people.

Not to mention Song Yulan's outstanding appearance, just the status of being Cao Weiguo's wife attracted attention.

In this steel rolling mill with tens of thousands of employees, there was never a lack of people who loved to gossip.

In a few days, Song Yulan's information was spread.

Her maiden home was Shangti Village of the Red Flag Commune.

Family background: four generations of poor peasants.

Education level: elementary school graduate.

After Yu Haitang found out, she was even more filled with resentment.

She was a broadcaster who graduated from high school.

She was actually intercepted by a village girl who only graduated from elementary school.

Qin Huairu heard that Song Yulan received wages of over one hundred yuan, and her eyes were also red with jealousy.

If she had married Cao Weiguo, she could also receive wages of over one hundred yuan a month.

With so much wages, even eating meat every meal wouldn't spend it all.

Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua could wear new clothes every month.

No!

She had to find Cao Weiguo more often during this time.

Let Cao Weiguo and Song Yulan divorce as soon as possible.

She couldn't let Song Yulan eat and drink heartily with Cao Weiguo's wages.

That money was hers!

Every day she dragged it out was her loss!

Yi Zhonghai processed parts with a gloomy expression, wishing he could throw Cao Weiguo into a manure pit.

This god-damned brat!

He caused his dignity to be swept away in the Sihe Academy.

He caused him to be squeezed out and bullied in the workshop.

He was not doing well inside and outside the factory, but that brat was riding high.

Being a cadre, receiving high wages—this heaven is truly blind.

Liu Haizhong smacked his lips in envy, feeling that the wages in his pocket weren't fragrant anymore.

Dual-income couple!

Wages of over one hundred yuan!

What kind of fairy life is this!

Being a cadre is truly good!

If he were also a cadre, he could also get his wife and son into the factory.

Added to Liu Guangqi, who was away, their family of five would all be employees.

Just thinking about it made one excited.

He had to hurry and build a good relationship with Cao Weiguo.

Take advantage of Cao Weiguo's help to become a leader.

The Sihe Academy.

After work, the residents returned home one after another.

The news that Song Yulan received wages of over one hundred yuan spread quickly.

This made the residents in the courtyard suddenly get "red-eye disease."

Thinking about how they scrimped and saved, not being able to save much savings every year.

Cao Weiguo and his wife could get wages of over one hundred yuan a month.

This huge gap made the residents filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

The Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt were so envious they couldn't sit or sleep in peace.

Yan Jiecheng was so sour it was as if he had eaten 10 jin of lemons.

Yu Li also couldn't help but envy Song Yulan.

The Eldest Uncle looked at Yu Li: "Yu Li, you have a good relationship with Song Yulan; can you let Song Yulan blow some pillow talk and let Cao Weiguo get you into the steel rolling mill too?"

The Eldest Aunt's eyes shone: "This is good! Yu Li, if you get into the steel rolling mill, then you and Jiecheng would be a dual-income couple."

Yu Li said with annoyance: "Song Yulan and I just get along well; the relationship isn't that close. Don't forget, she still has an older brother and younger sister in the countryside."

Yan Jiecheng snorted coldly: "Then can't you put in more effort and make the relationship better? Her man is so capable; helping you get into the factory is just a matter of convenience."

Yu Li scanned Yan Jiecheng with disgust and walked into the kitchen with the washed vegetables.

This attitude made Yan Jiecheng somewhat angry, and the Eldest Aunt's face became ugly.

The Eldest Uncle sighed: "Forget it, forget it. Our family has no relatives or connections with Cao Weiguo; why would he be willing to work for nothing."

How difficult it is to get a job position in this day and age.

The Eldest Uncle knew it clearly in his heart.

In a short while, the rich fragrance of food permeated with the wind.

Making all the residents in the courtyard drool.

The Jia family's three children were directly cried by the fragrance!

The couple received their wages, and Song Yulan was uncharacteristically generous for once.

She went to the vegetable market with Cao Weiguo and cut a piece of pork belly.

Returning home, Cao Weiguo showed his skills and made three dishes: green pepper stir-fried meat, meat-braised green beans, and wood-ear meat.

Picking up a chopstick of food, he took a bite of the white flour bun.

The fatty but not greasy pork belly paired with the soft and fragrant bun.

It's beautiful!

Just when the young couple was enjoying the delicious food, the Deaf Old Lady was wandering at the door leaning on her cane.

Aiming eagerly at the Cao family's dining table, she kept swallowing saliva greedily.

Song Yulan reminded him: "Weiguo, look outside."

Cao Weiguo said casually: "Eat. If she wants to look, let her look. Don't bother with her."

For this unreasonable and overbearing Deaf Old Lady, Cao Weiguo was filled with disgust.

Ever since Shazhu went to prison, this old lady had looked at everyone with displeasure.

Wandering out for no reason, she spoke ill of Cao Weiguo inside and outside the courtyard.

What selfishness.

What sinister cunning.

What cold-hearted viciousness.

What stinginess.

What trickery. ===== CHAPTER 378 =====
