Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

If she had a choice, Luo Linlin might not necessarily want to have such a mother.

As usual, she followed the brigade's tractor back to Huaiyin Brigade, and the tractor drove directly to the factory gate.

Luo Linlin had just gotten off the car when she saw a familiar figure.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"You wrote home saying you were having a hard time. I was worried about you, so I asked for leave to come and visit you."

Li Aihua didn't know whether she said this intentionally. When she said this, the people next to her wished they were deaf. Why didn't they get off the bus quickly and go in? What were they doing listening to these words?

Luo Linlin's mother's words clearly meant that Luo Linlin didn't care about how her family lived and kept complaining. If it were in the past, they would definitely stand on Luo Linlin's mother's side, but now it's different.

I have worked with Luo Linlin for quite some time, so I know at least a little bit about what kind of person she is. In any case, Luo Linlin is definitely not that kind of person.

Luo Linlin felt exhausted. This was indeed something her mother could do, but why did her mother think of coming to Huaiyin Brigade to see her? In her mother's eyes, her stepfather came first, then her stepbrother and younger brother, then her jobs and employers, and finally, her turn.

These people weren't in the Huaiyin Brigade, so what could she be doing here? Regardless of the reason, it couldn't be because she was worried about herself.

The reason was not difficult to guess. Luo Linlin guessed that her mother must have seen the things Tian Cuiying sent home, so she came to see. Luo Linlin became even more troubled and was thinking about how to send her mother back.

"You are Linlin's friends, right? Thanks to you..."

Li Aihua acted like a mother who loved her daughter very much, and tried her best to please and smile at several people who wanted to pretend that she was not there.

"What are you all still standing here for? Why don't you go in and check the accounts? And Comrade Luo Linlin, your mother is here, why don't you take her back?"

When Nian Lin's cold voice came, several people instantly woke up from their embarrassment and jumped out of the car.

"Auntie, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

Everyone ran away as if escaping, even Zhang Erwa who was driving the tractor ran into the house. Only Luo Linlin, Li Aihua and Nian Lin who were one step behind were left outside the door.

Luo Linlin gave Nianlin a grateful look, but Nianlin didn't respond at all. She walked into the house, leaving space for the mother and daughter.

Li Aihua thought of what the female comrade said, and was about to ask a few people to stay here and listen to her. She opened her mouth and looked up, but her eyes met Nian Lin's. She was startled and quickly lowered her head.

——Wow, this guy must be an official.

Li Aihua didn't dare to go against the officials. She thought to herself that she had to go in to eat later, and there would be more people there. It would still be time to talk about it then. By then, these officials would not dare to blatantly favor Luo Linlin, the liar.

Of course, before that, she was still willing to give her daughter a chance. After all, she was a good mother.

Luo Linlin pulled Li Aihua to a deserted corner: "Mom, why are you here?!"

"Linlin, you said you're having a hard time here and don't have enough to eat. I feel bad for you, but when I came over to take a look, it doesn't seem to be the case. Do you... do you just not want to take care of me as your mother anymore?"

"Mom, we suffered a disaster this year. Huaiyin Brigade has a lot of people and little land. How much food can a young educated youth like me who can't work get? I said at the beginning that we should let my eldest brother come to the countryside to work. He's a man and he's stronger than me. Maybe he can even have some surplus food to send home."

"Your eldest brother is your father's biological son, how could he..."

Li Aihua blurted out the words, but remembered her purpose halfway through and quickly changed her tone.

"Are you blaming Mom? I'm incompetent, so that's why you've been implicated. But I heard that the Huaiyin Brigade's dried tofu factory is doing very well. That factory director, Mr. Tan, thinks highly of you. You can be considered a blessing in disguise. You'll have a bright future."

Carefully observing Luo Linlin's expression and seeing she wasn't angry, Li Aihua quickly added, "I heard you're working as a salesperson in some specialty store now, and you get a salary every month. You're young, and having money in your hands is easy to attract attention. I think you should send the money home, and I'll save it for you to use when you get married."

The more Luo Linlin listened, the more bored she felt. It turned out that her mother's visit was not in vain.

"Mom, I can save it myself, so you don't have to worry about it. You must be hungry after coming all the way here. Let's go in and eat first. Then I'll ask you where you're staying today and I'll go pack for you."

The money was only safe if she kept it in her own hands. If she left it with her mother, it would either go to her stepfather for drinking or her stepbrother for playing cards. In the end, how could she get a penny? Luo Linlin had already seen this clearly and would never be fooled.

Luo Linlin directly rejected her proposal. Li Aihua was furious, but remembering what Zhao Yang, the educated youth, had said, she nodded and followed Luo Linlin into the tofu factory.

The county is going to hold a sales fair. Tan Yuan doesn't know exactly how much goods can be sold, but she is sure that there will be a lot of people at that time. The production capacity of the tofu factory is there, and it is better to make more goods and keep them than to rush to open the factory when the time comes and fail to make any.

The tofu factory needs to speed up production, and the factory canteen naturally needs to continue operating.

Li Aihua did not go into the factory in the afternoon. Now when she came in and saw the busy factory, she felt that Zhao Yang, the educated youth, had not lied to her and that her daughter Luo Linlin had become successful now.

If the conditions did not allow the families of the educated youth to come to visit, it would be fine. But now that life is better in Huaiyin Brigade, we naturally have to treat them well and reassure their families that Huaiyin Brigade has not treated their children unfairly.

A plate of scrambled eggs is already a very impressive dish.

Li Aihua was very excited. The Huaiyin Brigade was willing to make scrambled eggs for her. This plate of bright yellow eggs must have contained a lot of eggs, which must be worth a lot of money.

While her daughter enjoyed a comfortable life in Huaiyin Brigade, she remained at home, pasting matchboxes at the match factory and cooking and washing clothes for others to earn money. However, her daughter refused to give a cent to the family. Li Aihua took a deep breath and mustered up her courage...

"Linlin, I know you're blaming me. I originally asked you to go to the countryside instead of your brother, but I had no choice. Your brother is your father's biological brother, but you are not his biological daughter. He has done his best to raise you, and we must be grateful..."

Li Aihua wiped her tears, her voice neither loud nor soft, but resounding.

It was dinner time and there were quite a lot of people eating. The noisy place suddenly became quiet and silent.
