Become a burden in a period novel
Chapter 6: Investigating the Textile Factory
Qin Wangshu changed out of her military uniform and put on a patched dress and prepared to go out again. She didn't want to stay in the same room with her stepsister Wang Li.
Wang Li is not actually a bad person, but she is the kind of person who is easily influenced, impulsive, and bullies the weak and fears the strong.
In the little girl's memory, her stepsister had not always disliked her like this.
Maybe it was the words of the people around her, maybe it was the people on Wang Li's grandmother's side, or maybe it was because of Qin Fang's indulgence of the little girl. All these things combined made Wang Li increasingly hate the sister brought by her stepmother.
Qin Fang always told the little girl to give in to Wang Li and told her that they needed to rely on her stepfather for a living, so she couldn't offend her stepfather and stepsister.
So even though the little girl is the youngest in the family, she has to do more work and gets the least. Just like the clothes she wears now are too big for her stepsister.
The little girl only had one set of better clothes, which was altered from the military uniform her brother sent back. Wang Li also wanted it originally, and the military uniform her brother sent back before was always given to Wang Li first.
My brother watched Qin Fang alter the uniform for the little girl. My brother was young when he joined the army, and he grew taller after joining the army, so he sent his old uniform back.
But when he came back from his first home visit, he found that his sister was still wearing patched old clothes from his stepsister, and the military uniform he sent back was worn by his mother's stepdaughter.
He knew that it was not easy for his mother to be a stepmother, but he was also very sad that his mother was so partial to his sister. So he personally watched his mother alter a set of military uniforms for his sister, and he felt relieved only after seeing his sister wearing it.
It was because of her brother's actions that the little girl had her first set of clothes without patches. She wore the military uniform very carefully, fearing that it would be torn.
She would only wear it on formal occasions. Otherwise, she would wear patched clothes.
"Are you going out?" Wang Li asked when she saw Qin Wangshu changed his clothes.
"Go out and help with cooking." Qin Wangshu couldn't call her "Mom". Qin Fang was not worthy of being called Mom, nor was she worthy of being called Mom by a little girl.
"Oh, Aunt Qin is here to cook, so you can stay in the room and tell me about the textile factory!" She would be going to work in the textile factory soon, so she must know something about it.
"I just went to take the exam. How would I know anything about the textile factory?" Qin Wangshu knew why Wang Li wanted to know about the textile factory.
She can give up this job, but Wang Li shouldn't think that she can go to work so easily.
Among the people who passed the textile factory recruitment exam this time, the girl knew many of them. She would tell them what happened to the girl and would also help Wang Li spread the word.
"That's more than I know. Just tell me about it." Wang Li never did housework at home. Maybe she did it before, but she hasn't done it since Qin Fang got married.
Qin Fang usually does the housework after class, or the girl does it at home after school or on holidays.
Qin Wangshu didn't really want to go out to cook, so he agreed. "Then I'll go out and talk to you."
Qin Wangshu went out after she finished speaking, and came back after a while. Originally, when she went out, Qin Fang wanted to ask her to go over to cook, but knowing that Wang Li wanted her to talk about the textile factory, Qin Fang asked her to go back to her room.
Qin Wangshu didn't know much about the textile factory, but he could still tell Wang Li some things, especially how she knew about the recruitment information and where the information came from.
"Chunjuan's parents are both workers in a textile factory. She did very well in the exam this time and ranked second. I think if it weren't for her parents, she would definitely have ranked first this time."
If the first place winner is really the child of a factory worker, everyone will definitely doubt the fairness of this exam.
Especially since Chunjuan’s father is in the human resources department and is in charge of recruitment matters.
"She really didn't get the questions in advance?" Wang Li was very skeptical. If it were her, she would definitely ask her father for the questions in advance.
But her father was just an ordinary worker in a brush factory and there was no way he could find her a job unless he retired and let her take over.
In fact, if Qin Wangshu had not been admitted to the textile factory, she would have wanted Qin Fang to retire and let her take over her class and become a teacher.
It’s just that education is not valued at all nowadays, and university teachers are labeled as the "stinking ninth" group. She looks down on the teachers' work.
Working in a textile factory is so respectable. She has her own work clothes and can buy some defective cloth without using cloth coupons. Then she can make a lot of new clothes.
"The exam this time is very strict, otherwise Chunjuan wouldn't have given me the materials to help her review." The little girl has been helping others review in school. She is very good at grasping the key points and predicting the questions.
Many people were able to graduate with the help of these little girls. Of course, they would also give these little girls some compensation, usually in the form of food.
If she only relies on her family, the little girl will probably become even thinner than she is now.
The little girl is much younger than her classmates. She is not bullied by them, but is taken care of by them. Because she is always taken care of by them, she also tries to give back to others in her own way.
"I also gave information to the aunt downstairs's sister, but she didn't pass the exam." Qin Wangshu tried hard to imitate the little girl and chatted with Wang Li.
"Who knows? Maybe they are just trying to fool a fool like you!" Wang Li muttered softly.
But she also knew that she couldn't say it out loud, let alone say it in the textile factory. After all, her family worked in the factory. If they knew that she said such a thing, she probably wouldn't be able to stay in the factory.
Seeing that Wang Li was not going to ask him any more questions, Qin Wangshu walked to his bed and sorted out his things.
There are very few things belonging to the little girl, and now it is summer, there are even fewer things on the bed. Qin Wangshu tries to make himself look busy.
Wang Li looked at Qin Wangshu like this and didn't bother to pay attention to her. She got up from the bed, put on her shoes and prepared to go out.
"Hiss! It hurts!" Qin Wangshu's finger was scratched by a burr on the bed mat.
Watching the blood slowly oozing out of her fingers, she now didn't have to think about what to use to get the blood out.
"Bang!" Wang Li went out and closed the door.
Qin Wangshu pinched his cut finger, slowly and repeatedly, allowing more blood to seep out of the small wound.
After the seeping blood condensed into a blood bead on her fingertips, she took the amulet out from her clothes with her uninjured hand, and then smeared the blood bead on her finger on it.
