This matter has been weighing on her mind, so she never dared to come alone. Today, she finally mustered up the courage to come along.

Susan saw the timidity in her eyes and patted her shoulder.

"What are you afraid of? If anyone wants to provoke you, just act like a mother and yell at her."

Gu Rong thought this was a good idea. As long as her mother threw a tantrum, the villagers would not dare to provoke her.

Gu Rong felt more at ease.

I followed Susan to the county town and looked here and there until my eyes were dazzled.

Susan took her to the factory area. Gu Rong looked at the female comrades coming out of the factory. They were all wearing shirts and had long braids. They had a sense of superiority. Her eyes were full of envy. She looked down at her clothes that were covered with patches and felt a little inferior.

Susan took a few steps and didn't see Gu Rong following her. Seeing her avoid his gaze, she glanced at the female workers around her.

I feel a little complicated.

"Sister, we didn't steal or rob anything, we just have a few patches on our clothes. That's nothing. As long as we have a high level of ideological awareness, we are still excellent female comrades."

Gu Rong couldn't hear what her second sister-in-law said, but seeing her eyes sparkling and her face glowing, her inferiority complex lessened a little, and she gradually raised her head as she walked.

When they arrived at the factory, Susan handed in the work, counted the money and gave it to Gu Rong.

Gu Rong had never received so much money before and was a little hesitant.

"Sister-in-law, you gave me too much, sixty cents more."

Susan smiled at her.

"That's the wages. If you don't believe me, check for yourself."

Susan handed the list to Gu Rong to see. It was indeed written on it that one was 8 cents each. If she made two, it would cost 1.6 cents, which was 6 cents more than the 1.2 cents her second sister-in-law said.

Gu Rong looked at the list and knew that her second sister-in-law had not cheated her. They were even more touched.

"Second sister-in-law, we are taking some orders."

Susan frowned in embarrassment.

"All the orders have been taken, and we can't take them anymore."

When Gu Rong heard this, she thought of the orders that Jiang Le and her fourth brother had taken away, and her face fell.

"Second sister-in-law, is there anything else?"

She was holding one dollar and sixty cents in her hand, and her heart was still warm. How could it fail?

"Come next month! Or maybe we can just go around."

Gu Rong didn't dare to go up and ask, so she could only listen to Susan.

The two of them went around the surrounding factories and found that there was no manual work at all, and if there was anyone who wanted to do the work, they would only look for people with a household registration in the county.

Gu Rong's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

He hated Jiang Le even more in his heart, and of course also his fourth brother, who had cut off the livelihood of his entire family in order to please his fiancée.

"Little sister, do you want to buy anything?"

Gu Rong shook her head and clenched the 1.6 yuan in her hand.

Susan didn't ask any more questions. She took her to the department store, bought some egg cakes, and then left the county town.

Gu Rong felt extremely depressed along the way. She had no way to make money in the future. It was all gone. Everything was gone.

When she got home, her eyes turned red as soon as she entered the door. When Old Mrs. Wang saw her daughter like this, she thought Susan had bullied her.

"Second brother, why are you bullying Gu Rong?"

As soon as Old Lady Wang opened her mouth, Gu Rong interrupted her.

"Mom, my second sister-in-law didn't bully me. This is our job. People said it's all taken up. It's gone. We won't be able to make any money in the future."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately panicked. Can’t make money?

"Who answered it? Didn't you say there were a lot more before?"

Susan glanced at Old Lady Wang without saying anything. Old Lady Wang understood instantly and her face turned dark.

She was black, but Zhu Yue'e made a scene on the spot.

"Mom! You gave away the livelihood of the whole family for an outsider. Now everyone in the family is helping the Jiang family pave the way and make money. Are you satisfied? Are you happy?"

Zhu Yue'e had never dared to yell at Old Lady Wang so loudly, but when she thought about the fact that the money she had earned was gone before she could even enjoy it.

Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

Old Lady Wang moved her lips a few times, trying to scold Zhu Yue'e, but her mouth wouldn't open at all.

Thinking about the money I spent yesterday, I felt even worse.

"Second brother's, are you sure it's really gone?"

Susan glanced at Gu Rong.

"Mom, you don't believe me, don't you believe my little sister?"

Gu Rong already resented Old Lady Wang, and she was furious when she heard what her second sister-in-law said.

"Mom, what do you mean? Second sister-in-law finally found this job for the sake of this family, and she didn't hide it. She told everyone how much she earned. You didn't help the family, but gave the benefits away. You even suspect Second sister-in-law, you're going too far."

Old Mrs. Wang had never been scolded like this at home. She wanted to retort, but she couldn't open her mouth.

It feels like it's stuck together with glue, and I feel uncomfortable.

Susan ignored them and divided the money among them.

Zhu Yue'e felt even more uncomfortable holding the two yuan and forty cents in her hand.

In just a few days, she has earned two dollars and forty dollars. If she is given more time, that will be twenty-four dollars, and maybe two hundred and forty dollars in the future.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

"Mom, please let the fourth child do the work for us and keep the same price. Otherwise, no one will be able to eat this bowl of rice."

Zhu Yue'e shouted angrily with red eyes. Old Lady Wang was holding the 1.6 yuan in her hand. When she heard what the old lady said, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Okay, when Lao Si comes back in the evening, I'll tell him about it."

Gu Ye went to pay his wages on time this afternoon. He didn't ask Jiang Le for the deposit, but he got back the money for the manual labor. He held the extra forty yuan in his hand, feeling extremely excited. He had never touched so much money in his life, and even if the Jiang family made a fuss at this moment, he would not give it to them.

Gu Ye walked back to the village with light steps, settled all the wages, and finally held the extra twenty yuan and more than ten yuan for himself in his hand, and walked with a feeling of being a little dizzy.

But as soon as I walked in, I felt that the atmosphere in the house was not right.

He wondered, could it be that something happened at home, and Jiang Le was causing trouble?

"Fourth Brother, come here."

Old Lady Wang shouted, and Gu Ye glanced at his elder sister-in-law and younger sister who looked at him unfriendly, and wondered in his heart, it seemed like he didn't do anything?

Old Mrs. Wang didn't beat around the bush and told the truth straight away. Gu Ye listened but didn't say anything.

When Old Mrs. Wang heard this, she panicked.

"Old Four, we are a family. If you don't divide our family, what do you want to do?"

Could it be that my son is really being controlled by the Jiang family?

"First, give me the wages I paid yesterday."

Old Mrs. Wang reached out for money.

Gu Ye had no choice but to give the money to Old Lady Wang. He felt bad when he gave the money away before he could even warm it up.

But the topic is back on track.

"Mom, it's not that I don't allow my family to work, but they said that if it's gone, there won't be any more in the future. Their factory has been contracted out, and they need to recruit workers in the future."

Old Mrs. Wang's heart skipped a beat. It was over, it was really over.

"Old Four! You..."

Old Mrs. Wang was speechless. How could he be gone after living so well?

The 1.6 yuan in her hand was still warm!
