The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature

Coming out of the boiler room, there was no one around. Hua Honeysuckle put the water tank into the space and returned to the workshop empty-handed.

At this time, almost all the workers in the workshop had arrived and were gathered together discussing something. Just as they were about to get closer to listen, they saw Hua Honeysuckle come in and all looked over at her.

"Erhua, how much do the Li family give you as a dowry? I heard someone say they only gave you a hundred. Is that true?"

Hua Rendong was delighted, but it was no wonder that she acted pitifully. She not only didn't seize the chance to clear her name, but also had to speak well of the scumbag and his mother?

Then, she pretended to be hurt and sighed, "It doesn't matter how much it is. I have already broken up with him. From now on, Aunt Xu won't have to worry about me competing with her for her son and ruin my reputation everywhere."

"Ah? Really broke up? I just heard about it, and I can't believe it. Why is that mother like that? This is not the old society anymore, how can there still be a mother-in-law like her who can't stand seeing her daughter-in-law do well?"

"Hey, Li Dongfeng is now a factory executive and has a bright future. It's such a pity to divide him up like this."

"Yes, there are so many girls in the factory who are eyeing him. If you give them one point, they will be so happy."

Hua Rendong shrugged, "I used to think so too. I was attracted by his promising future, his simple family, and his kind mother... But after this, I thought it through. Future and other things are not important. I have to live my life by myself. Before we even got married, her mother almost ruined my reputation. If she cries here and there after we get married, won't others think I beat her at home all day? My daughters, Dahua and Xiaohua, haven't found husbands yet. If I don't think about myself, I have to think about them, right?

Besides, after so many years, how could Li Dongfeng not know what kind of person his mother is? My reputation has been ruined by his mother, and I have never seen him say a word for me. If we really get married in the future and there are conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I dare not think that he will side with me at all. "

Some people nodded in agreement, but some people still couldn't believe that Xu Xiangfeng, who looked weak and easy to bully, would be a mean person who said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.

There were even people who had been jealous of Hua Rendong and Li Dongfeng being together from the beginning, and their eyes were rolling around, wondering what they were up to.

The bell for work rang and everyone returned to their workstations. Hua Honeysuckle tied her two braids on her head with a hair tie to prevent them from being accidentally caught in the lathe while working.

It was the first time for Hua Honeysuckle to use a lathe. Even with the original owner's memory, it was still a little strange. Fortunately, she operated it little by little according to the original owner's memory, and it was safe. After practicing a few times, she became proficient.

Throughout the morning, co-workers would come to her during breaks and find all sorts of excuses to ask her about her marriage to the Li family. Hua Rendong was so dry-mouthed that she spared no effort to play the victim.

Similarly, I didn't find a chance to go into the space and take a look, but the hot water I put in in the morning was still boiling hot when I took it out two hours later.

When she first took it out, she was caught off guard and burned her hand. She almost dropped the water tank, but she also confirmed that the space had the function of preserving freshness and heat.

At noon, when the bell rang, the workers invited Hua Jindong to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Hua Rendong picked up the lunch box and walked behind. She was not very enthusiastic about going to the cafeteria to get food.

At that time in Northeast China, the only foods available for eating were potatoes, cabbage, radish, and tofu. Occasionally, some vermicelli and bean sprouts were considered good. The staple foods were sorghum rice and cornmeal. Fine grains such as rice and white flour were only available in the canteens of government agencies in the city.

She was thinking about how to use the space and supernatural powers to improve her life. Otherwise, she would have to eat nothing but cabbage and radishes all day long and this flat body would have to accompany her for the rest of her life.

But these days, speculation and profiteering are dealt with severely. If caught, the punishment might be light, such as being sent to labor camp; if the punishment is serious, the person might be executed directly. Before she has sufficient ability to protect herself, she doesn't want to take the risk.

Besides, if she wanted to engage in speculation, she had to have something to do with it.

Suddenly, a bicycle rushed past Honeysuckle, brushing against half of her body, and scared her.

When she looked closely, oh no, it was her 26-inch ladies' bicycle, but the person riding it was not Li Dongfeng, but a woman with a ponytail and a red sweater. She thought of what Hua Dahua had said last night about the aggressive Guo Aihua.

Her bicycle was taken away by Li Dongfeng yesterday, and was ridden by Guo Aihua around the factory today. They both went to the city yesterday, which made Hua Rendeng suspect that there was something fishy going on between the two.

It’s good that the engagement has been cancelled, and these two don’t have to avoid suspicion anymore.

Looking at the bicycle that Guo Aihua was riding very fast towards the cafeteria, she suddenly felt a little disgusted. She didn't want this broken bike at all.

When Hua Rendong arrived at the canteen, all the workers had gone inside. There were several bicycles parked outside the canteen, and her bicycle was parked across the entrance, blocking half of the way in and out.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Hua Honeysuckle walked over, brushed her fingers across the handlebars, and the next second, the bicycle disappeared from the spot.

Raising her eyebrows, Hua Honeysuckle tapped the lunch box with her fingertips and walked into the cafeteria in a happy mood.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard someone calling her. Hua Rendong looked over and saw Zhou Laiying, Dahua, Xiaohua and Hua Aidang sitting in the corner with the freshly prepared food in front of them.

These days, as long as you have a meal ticket, no one will bother your family members to go to the factory cafeteria to get food. Hua Jianshe has made great contributions to the factory and often receives various tickets as rewards, including meal tickets.

Although the Hua family does not come to the cafeteria to eat every day, they come at least ten to twenty times a month.

When Zhou Laiying pushed a lunch box of dried fish she made in front of her, Hua Rendong looked at the black peppers, fish and peanuts inside, and the corners of her mouth twitched. It turned out that flattery to the wrong person would eventually come back to haunt her.

Zhou Laiying urged, "Second girl, try it and see if it's delicious. This is the first time that Auntie has cooked it this way, and I don't know if it suits your taste."

Hua Jindong took a bite of the peanuts, which tasted bitter and spicy. She praised them against her conscience, "They are so delicious! My aunt's cooking skills have improved."

Hua Dahua's muffled laughter came from the side. Zhou Laiying nudged her with her elbow and smiled more lovingly, "Even if it tastes good, don't eat too much. It can make you get angry. Today, the canteen put a few slices of bacon in the stew. Old Ma saw that we were the ones serving food, so he gave us a few extra big slices. We can each get two slices."

Looking at the two slices of meat on his lunch box, which were twice as big as the ones in Hua Dahua and the others' lunch boxes, he grinned at Hua Dahua, which made Hua Dahua roll her eyes again.

Before I finished my meal, I heard a commotion outside the cafeteria.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a woman's shrill voice cursing: "Who is this blind little thief? You stole my car? Why don't you ask who my father is? If you find out who did it, not only will you lose your job, but you will also be sent to a farm for labor reform!"
