Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city
Chapter 316 Suffering
Tears flowed down my cheeks uncontrollably and dripped into the food in the bowl...
In fact, the two were not as sad as imagined. After all, when people who have been hungry for a long time suddenly feel the satisfaction brought by food, this emotion will often be temporarily covered up.
After the three sisters had filled their stomachs in no time, they couldn't wait to rush home.
Although Zhao Fei had been asked to send some food to his younger sisters, they were not at home at the moment. If those troublesome relatives came to cause trouble during this period, I am afraid that the food Zhao Fei sent would not be able to reach his younger sisters' mouths.
Just as the three sisters were about to leave, Li Jingshen suddenly pulled out three red envelopes from his pocket and slowly said, "There's one red envelope for each of us. As for you, although you've only just joined us, since you've become one of us, it's natural that you get your share too."
"However, since you came late, this red envelope might be a little smaller than others."
Hearing this, Wu Pandi hesitated for a moment.
But as soon as she thought about the long half month of suffering ahead, she finally couldn't muster up the courage to refuse this kindness.
So, she reached out and carefully took the red envelope handed over by Li Jingshen, and promised him solemnly: "Brother Li, please rest assured. When the time comes to work, I will definitely go all out and do my best. I will definitely not let you down. No matter what work you assign to me, it's fine."
Li Jingshen smiled and waved his hand, saying softly, "I'm not the kind of capitalist who exploits people. Okay, go home quickly! Take these red envelopes and buy something to bring back. Be careful on the way."
After saying this, Li Jingshen signaled Wu Pandi that she could leave.
Wu Pandi had barely stepped out the door, not even a few steps away, when her clever second sister lowered her voice and leaned close to her ear and asked, "Sister, why don't you take a look at how much money is in this red envelope?"
Wu Pandi shook her head slightly and replied softly, "No matter how much is in it, it's all their friendship. We just came out of their house and we're in such a hurry to open the red envelope. It's so embarrassing."
At this time, the third brother beside him couldn't help but feel curious and whispered, "In my opinion, the amount must be quite large, maybe even a whole dollar. After all, the boss looks like a wealthy man."
Hearing this, Wu Pandi couldn't help but smile slightly.
A red envelope worth one dollar?
She hadn't even thought about it.
If Li Jingshen could give such a generous red envelope without knowing anything about her, Wu Pandi thought to herself that she would have to work harder in the future to repay this kindness.
The two sisters were so curious about how much money was hidden in the red envelope that it was like a cat's claws scratching their hearts.
One of them grabbed the corner of Wu Pandi's clothes on the left, and the other grabbed her sleeve on the right, and kept begging their sister to open the red envelope and take a look.
Wu Pandi was so pestered that she had no choice but to nod helplessly and carefully open the red envelope.
When she took out the bills from the red envelope, the three sisters' eyes widened instantly, and their mouths opened so wide that an egg could almost be stuffed in. There were actually a total of five dollars in it!
"What kind of family is this? They're willing to spend five dollars on a red envelope? I'm afraid our family couldn't earn that much money in the past few years combined!" The third brother had an expression of disbelief on his face and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The Wu family has a large population but a very scarce labor force, which means that the family is busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but the food they harvest is still far from enough.
Even if the brigade occasionally gave them a few cents, these meager incomes would be immediately exchanged for food to maintain the family's basic living needs.
Therefore, for the three sisters in the Wu family, five dollars is a huge fortune.
At this moment, the three sisters stood together, looking at each other, their hearts filled with surprise and confusion.
Before, when someone gave them a dollar, they would work as hard as they could to repay them.
But now faced with five whole dollars, they couldn't help but feel at a loss: Are they going to pay with their lives for this?
Meanwhile, in the feed factory, Jiang Shuzheng said to Li Jingshen with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother-in-law, you usually help everyone around you very readily, but why do you seem a little...off today?"
"Does it seem a little reluctant?" Li Jingshen took over the conversation and asked.
Jiang Shu smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
Li Jingshen sighed helplessly and explained, "Normally, if the other party won't interfere with my work and can successfully complete the task I assign, then for me, it doesn't really matter who does it. So, in times like this, if I can help someone out, I'll naturally do it."
After a pause, he continued, "However, the situation of the Wu family is indeed a little unclear this time, which makes me a little worried. What if we are kind enough to help them, but end up being bitten back by them? That would be a loss!"
Hearing this, Jiang Shu suddenly realized and then comforted: "I don't think it's that serious. After all, she is just a little girl."
Li Jingshen shook his head and sighed with a complicated look in his eyes, "There are some things you don't understand yet! When you experience it in the future, you will understand that my worries today are not groundless."
He didn't explain too much. He had already decided to help, so there was no point in saying more.
After cleaning up the mess at the feed factory, Li Jingshen and Jiang Shu left.
After returning home, he told Jiang Xue about what happened at Wu Pandi's home.
After hearing these things, Jiang Xue was naturally filled with indignation and was extremely angry.
She strongly supports Li Jingshen's decision to help Wu Pandi, and also wants Li Jingshen to help solve the problem of Wu Pandi's relatives eating up the family property!
But Li Jingshen shook his head and refused.
It’s not that Li Jingshen is incapable of helping, it’s mainly because it’s difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs.
If he, an outsider, got involved in this kind of thing, it would definitely not be good if it got out.
Li Jingshen was able to give Wu Pandi a job so that she could support her family and not have to run around begging for food late at night.
But Wu Pandi still has to deal with those relatives who have made her family bankrupt by herself!
