In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

The girls who didn't make the cut now realize that the problem actually lies with themselves, so they don't dwell on the reasons for their failure, but instead think about how they must try harder next time.

Lingcheng is constantly developing, and there are still many opportunities. So the girls who were not selected are now cheering themselves up. They believe that they will definitely be selected next time.

After figuring out the specific reasons, the people dispersed, and those families whose daughters had been chosen happily headed home.

Because the recruitment was such a big deal, most families took it very seriously and the whole family would participate. But one girl was an exception; she was alone from beginning to end.

Although Wu Yue was disappointed that no one from her family was waiting outside, the surprise of being chosen was so great that she didn't have time to dwell on it. She just wanted to tell her family the news as soon as possible.

Filled with excitement, Wu Yue ran home. As she approached her door, she took a deep breath, about to beam with joy and tell her family the good news. But before she could even speak, she was met with a barrage of insults.

"You good-for-nothing, where have you been? I haven't seen you all day!" A harsh voice came from inside, and the person was just as harsh as their voice and appearance.

Old Mrs. Wu's face was full of anger, making her already aged face look even more unsightly.

Startled by the voice, Wu Yue froze on the spot, the smile on her face vanished, and she timidly called out, "Grandma."

Old Mrs. Wu stared at Wu Yue, unmoved, and continued to interrogate her: "Where have you been? You haven't been seen for so long. Don't you know there are still many things waiting for you at home?"

Before Wu Yue could reply, a slap came flying at her. She shrank back in fear and forgot to dodge for a moment.

Just when Wu Yue thought she was about to be beaten, a thin figure blocked her way. The slap finally came down, but it didn't land on her; it landed on her mother.

Hearing the crisp sound of a slap, Wu Yue immediately realized what was happening and anxiously called out, "Mother!"

Old Mrs. Wu didn't hold back with her slap; a clear handprint immediately appeared on Xiao Qian's face, the force of which left Xiao Qian stunned for a long time.

Seeing her mother's serious injuries, Wu Yue immediately shouted, "Grandma, do you want to beat us to death?"

Seeing that she had attacked the wrong people, Old Lady Wu's expression did not change at all. Instead, she said directly, "If I could really kill you, that would be the end of it all, saving you from wasting food while you're alive."

These words infuriated Wu Yue, and she was about to retort when her mother stopped her. Xiao Qian was afraid that her daughter would anger her mother-in-law again, so she quickly apologized, "Mother, Yue'er is ignorant. I will discipline her. Please don't be angry."

Xiao Qian's posture was very humble, but Old Lady Wu had no intention of letting it go. She pointed at Wu Yue and slapped her thigh, saying, "You unfilial thing, you even dare to talk back to your grandmother, do you want to go to heaven?"

Wu Yue was furious when she heard this and said, "Grandma, I didn't."

Realizing her authority was being challenged, Old Mrs. Wu became even more relentless, rolling up her sleeves and preparing to step forward and let go.

Seeing this, Madam Qian quickly protected Wu Yue and apologized in a low voice, "Mother, she is just a child and doesn't know any better. She wasn't home today because they were recruiting workers outside, and Yue'er signed up."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Wu scoffed as if she had heard a joke, pointing at Wu Yue and saying, "Her, she can be chosen? What a pipe dream!"

The mockery in her words was so obvious that it greatly hurt Wu Yue's self-esteem. She couldn't help but retort, "Who said I couldn't be chosen? I was chosen! In a few days, I'll be able to work in the workshop built by the General's wife."

Before Old Lady Wu could react at all, Little Qian, Wu Yue's mother, excitedly turned around and asked, "Is this true, Yue'er? You've really been chosen?"

Looking at her mother's swollen face, Wu Yue nodded solemnly under her mother's expectant gaze and said, "Mother, I really was chosen, I didn't lie to you."

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Xiao Qian immediately exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful, Yue'er, that's wonderful!"

After hearing what Wu Yue and her mother said, Old Lady Wu lowered her head and pondered for a moment before asking, "Yue'er, is what you said true?"

Seeing the change in her mother's tone, Wu Yue suddenly felt a little uneasy, but she still nodded honestly and said, "I've been selected, and I can start working in a few days."

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Old Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up, and she said to the mother and daughter in a gentle tone, "In that case, let's go in."

After saying that, Old Lady Wu turned and went back into the house. Her back looked hurried.

For some reason, Wu Yue felt uneasy; she had a feeling that her grandmother was secretly preparing a big move.

Compared to Wu Yue's nervousness, Xiao Qian didn't feel that way; she was simply happy and excited.

The whole family was resting inside, and there was no one in the courtyard at the moment, so Xiao Qianshi pulled Wu Yue straight back into the house, eager to know what had happened.

The details of what happened could be explained slowly, but her mother's injury needed to be treated as soon as possible. So Wu Yue solemnly pressed her mother down into a chair, and skillfully took out a broken porcelain bottle from a drawer, carefully helping to apply the medicine.

"Mother, you shouldn't have blocked my way just now, otherwise you wouldn't have been so badly injured," Wu Yue said with some self-reproach.

Hearing this, Madam Qian reached out and touched Wu Yue's face, saying, "My daughter is so beautiful, she can't get hurt. It's alright, Mother, I'm used to it."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Wu Yue's eyes welled up with tears, and she asked in a sobbing voice, "Mother, why is Grandma so mean to us? Why does Father have to work outside all the time, while Second Uncle and the others can just lie at home? This is not fair at all."

"Why?" Little Qian murmured, and after a long while, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. She said, "Because your father and I only have you as our daughter, we don't have any sons. Your grandmother said that your father and I will have to rely on your cousins ​​to take care of us in our old age and see us off when we die."

From childhood to adulthood, Wu Yue had heard this sentence the most, so she couldn't help but retort: ​​"Mom, I have a job now, I can earn money, and I can take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die. I don't need my cousins."

Hearing this, Xiao Qian hesitated for a moment, but then shook her head and said, "No, how can a married daughter take care of her parents in their old age and see them off when they die? Not to mention whether other people outside would laugh at us, your father would be the first to disagree."
