Chapter 33

~7 min read 1,364 words

Pang Kaige had a face full of question marks.

Ha??

Pang Kaige, looking dazed, looked at Su Liyan and said:

"Lu Yuan, when did he become so capable? You've already arranged a position for him???

No…… Even if it's arranging a position, you can't come to Bing Jia Chang; Bing Jia Chang doesn't need people anymore."

What's going on??

There are now so many people in Huangcheng, with who knows how many rural women marrying in.

Although these rural women marry in, their household registration is under the husband's name, and they are considered city residents.

And since they are city residents, the community they live in will also help arrange jobs.

But the problem is……

Huangcheng now is no longer what it used to be; where could there be so many positions?!

Some people have been married in for half a year and are still at home.

Besides, even if one manages to get a position, it's either sweeping the streets or doing some odd jobs.

How could one possibly be assigned to Bing Jia Chang?

Bing Jia Chang is where artisans work; artisans have status, and coming here means they will have a skill.

Can just anyone be let in?

When Pang Kaige looked bewildered, Su Liyan directly said:

"My husband has withdrawn from work; I'm taking his place and coming here to be an apprentice."

Ah???

Pang Kaige thought he had misheard.

This?

You're joking, right??

What does that mean??

So basically, that good-for-nothing Lu Yuan will just stay home playing every day, letting Su Liyan support him??

What the heck??

Before Pang Kaige could say anything, Lu Yuan came back leisurely from afar.

Having just gone to the workshop to sign in, Lu Yuan returned.

Although the workshop chief knew Lu Yuan was just trying to get a day's wages for nothing, the big leader had said yesterday that Lu Yuan would receive special treatment, so the workshop chief didn't dare to speak up.

They simply recorded it for Lu Yuan.

As soon as Lu Yuan returned, Pang Kaige couldn't help but directly ask:

"Sister Su just said you've withdrawn from work, so from now on your household will have Sister Su coming to work?"

Lu Yuan blinked, then nodded and said:

"Yes."

"Haven't you heard the Imperial Court repeatedly saying women can hold up half the sky these past two years? My wife can do the job, right, wife~"

Su Liyan, full of anticipation, looked at her husband and repeatedly nodded, happily saying:

"Mm~ I'll definitely not embarrass Brother~"

Pang Kaige didn't want to deal with their lovey-dovey display, so he quickly said:

"No, that means Sister Su will earn the money, and you'll just stay home playing every day??"

"Damn! Do you have no shame!!"

Pang Kaige couldn't help but curse.

No, can you really play like that??

You, a grown man, don't work, and you let your wife work to support you??

This really is a huge lack of virtue!!!

This is shameless!!

This is simply shameless to the extreme!!

Seeing Pang Kaige's extremely indignant expression, Lu Yuan somewhat amusedly said:

"You can't say that; I'm actually sick."

Sick??

Lu Yuan is sick??

What illness, is it a terminal disease??

Is it that Lu Yuan won't last more than a year or so??

Pang Kaige has already started daydreaming.

However, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"The doctor said my stomach is bad, so I need to go home to rest."

Stomach trouble??

Nonsense??

Pang Kaige frowned and said:

"You're talking nonsense; when Sister Su finished washing the dishes and went back yesterday, I saw peanut shells by the sink—if your stomach is bad, how can you eat peanuts?!"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"So what? If your stomach is bad, you should eat nutritious things, and peanuts are nutritious, right."

Pang Kaige: "???"

Hn…… Seems no problem……

Not right…… Always feel something's weird, how?

When Pang Kaige looked dazed, Lu Yuan pursed his lips and said:

I'm not bothering to explain to you, hurry back to sleep, I'm leaving.

After saying that, Lu Yuan took Su Liyan and left.

Su Liyan happily followed her man to the office building to handle the paperwork.

While Pang Kaige looked dazed, Lu Yuan led Su Liyan into the office building and said:

After finishing onboarding, I'll take you to the workshop; I still have plenty of labor protection gear and water tanks left, you can just use them when the time comes.

Su Liyan nodded repeatedly with a beaming smile.

Pang Kaige, standing there, came to his senses and gritted his teeth, pretending!!

This thing lacking virtue is definitely pretending!!

How does this look like someone who's sick!!

Definitely not sick!!

That's what Su Liyan believes!!

Heavens!!

I can't go on!!!

Why!!!

Why can such a virtue-lacking beast live like this!!!

And yet I, such an outstanding person, am still single!!!

Ah!! No!!!

Wuu wuu wuu wuu, I also want a wife!!

……

Lu Yuan handled the paperwork with Su Liyan quickly, after all, it was personally arranged by the big leader.

Special approval, special handling; the paperwork was done in less than half an hour.

When the last procedure was finished, a section chief handed over the various forms to Lu Yuan before saying:

Then you take Su Liyan to find Sister Liu; I'm also swamped here.

Your salary for this month will be paid next month together with your wife.

Lu Yuan received the various forms, nodded, and said:

Got it, I'll go find Sister Liu right away.

This Sister Liu is indeed not simple; she's a widow, but her husband's family and her natal family apparently have people serving as high officials in the Imperial Court.

As for what kind of high official, Lu Yuan doesn't know; that's just how it's rumored in the factory.

Even the director of Bing Jia Chang greets Sister Liu politely.

If my wife follows Sister Liu, then Lu Yuan wouldn't have to worry about anyone having designs on her.

Sister Liu's work has no fixed workshop; if we put it in earthly terms, it's like quality inspection.

This is called spot-checking.

Anyway, it's very easy every day; the products made in the workshop, in the past you'd just take a caliper and measure them—if they fit, they pass; if not, you send them back for the workshop to redo.

This job is very easy and simple.

When Lu Yuan arrived at Sister Liu's office, indeed, she could only be considered an ordinary craftsman, but she still had an office, and the treatment was about the same as a workshop head.

However, this office isn't a proper one; it's a remodeled little hut, but even so you can tell Sister Liu's status is not ordinary.

After Su Liyan stood at the door and knocked, a sound came from inside, and then Lu Yuan brought Su Liyan in.

Upon entering, I saw Sister Liu sitting with her legs crossed, drinking tea.

This Sister Liu is in her thirties, looks fierce, a bit like the fat madam from Nine Rank Sesame Official; at a glance you can tell she's not someone to mess with.

As soon as Lu Yuan entered, Sister Liu turned her gaze to Su Liyan beside him and said:

You're here to learn craftsmanship from me, right?

What's your name?

Sister Liu already heard the news yesterday and had made preparations.

Su Liyan immediately replied sweetly:

Sister, I'm Su Liyan.

Good-looking people are welcome everywhere; Sister Liu nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Yuan and said:

Alright, you hurry back and rest, you big patient.

I don't know what Lu Yuan did yesterday to make that big leader value him so much.

Lu Yuan was startled, but didn't waste words; he had already given instructions on the way, didn't hesitate, this woman couldn't be provoked, he nodded, told Su Liyan to follow Sister Liu and study well, then turned and left.

After Lu Yuan closed the door, Sister Liu's fierce expression immediately turned into a gossipy one as she said:

You were originally supposed to marry Gao Tingyu, but your man snatched you away first??
