In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

Upon arriving at the payroll department, Luo Yu handed over her and Xi Beizhan's handprints. The payroll staff even pulled Luo Yu aside and asked her about her trip to the provincial capital for further study.

Luo Yu rambled on and on, without saying a single serious word. It was all about how she got along with people at school and all the gossip. It wasn't until she took three months' worth of wages and left that the payroll staff realized that she hadn't said anything substantial, and all they had to hear was gossip.

Back in the office, I put the two pay bags into a cloth bag, made myself a cup of herbal tea, picked up the newspaper, and began a leisurely and pleasant day.

To be honest, she made the right choice in joining the Women's Federation. If Ding Weimin wanted to switch jobs with her now, she would never switch, she would give him a good scolding.

This job is great. There's hardly anything to do most of the time, maybe just writing a report or something. You almost never have to go out in the winter, and the whole year is only about seven months, so you're not busy every day.

Unless absolutely necessary, the families of mine workers rarely seek help from the Women's Federation; they almost always rush to the streets in droves, saying, "If you have any problems, go to the government."

Women who come to the Women's Federation are either victims of domestic violence, or those who have been treated unfairly by their daughters-in-law, daughters-in-law, or daughters, or those whose reputations have been damaged and who have been advised to seek help.

In any case, very few women can actually get help from the Women's Federation. Many women nowadays are illiterate and have no idea how to use the law to protect themselves, so they usually just endure being beaten or scolded and rarely think of asking the Women's Federation for help.

Unlike the neighborhood committee and police station, if the neighbor's dog is lost, the neighbor's cat is stuck in a tree, the old ladies of the Li and Zhang families are arguing, or the old man of the Chen family glanced at the old ladies of the Wang and Zhang families in the morning, all these trivial matters can be reported to the neighborhood committee and police station. If you don't take care of them, these old men and women will curse you to death.

Of course, it was also these old men and women who, after the weather got nice, would come out of their homes and sit at one end of the shed to bask in the sun. And then, as they were basking in the sun, conflicts would arise. It might be just because of a cabbage, or it might be because of a single word, and then they would start arguing.

Especially those middle-aged women, who are always bored and have nothing better to do than gossip about this and that neighborhood. From one end of the house to the other, there's nothing they don't know. They even know how many times the neighbor defecated this morning. You absolutely mustn't let the person in charge hear this, or it will be the start of a war.

This fight could involve everyone in the room, and those trying to mediate might very well end up scratching faces in the end.

Often, these minor fights stop on their own without the need for the neighborhood committee or police station to intervene. Then, the women gossip together one day and the next they're fighting with one or more other women.

That's how Northeasterners are. They can be arguing until they're red in the face in the morning, but by evening they can be sitting down together, arms around each other, drinking and forgetting their grudges over a laugh. The next morning, when they're sober, they're full of regret. Then they meet again, arguing and rolling their eyes at each other, and another fight breaks out over a single eye roll.

Of course, if an outsider joins in, things will get really interesting. The two families who are having a great time can team up and beat the outsider to a pulp.

You can watch, but you can't participate. It's none of your business if we fight and bleed. If you dare to participate, you'd better be prepared to bleed.

While Luo Yu appeared to be reading the newspaper, her consciousness had actually entered a spatial grid, where she happily counted the small amount of money she and Xi Beizhan had accumulated since their marriage.

Xi Beizhan's savings account was untouched, and there was no need to touch it. The family didn't have any major expenses. The gatehouse they built only cost about two hundred yuan, including the cost of the iron railings installed behind the two main houses.

For eight months since their marriage, Xi Beizhan's pay slip had always been in Luo Yu's hands, and she was the one who always paid his salary. Xi Beizhan had never been to the pay office since their marriage, nor had he ever seen his own salary; it was all kept by Luo Yu.

But Luo Yu is reasonable. She told Xi Beizhan as soon as she opened the account, then counted all the assets in front of him and put them into the box.

Therefore, Xi Beizhan was well aware of how much money his family had.

Xi Beizhan earns 78 yuan a month. She was initially paid 36 yuan, which was later increased to 42 yuan, totaling 748 yuan. 200 yuan was spent on building the house, and 300 yuan was spent on buying a house for Xi Ergu. She and Xi Beizhan don't usually spend much. Including the three months they were away studying, they averaged only about 30 yuan a month, and sometimes they didn't even have enough. In addition, they had 6,000 yuan that they had shared with Xiao Wei before, so they still had 6,200 yuan left.

The Guan family should have saved enough money to pay them back after a few months, but Qiu Ling is having a baby, so they can't pay back the money for the time being. If they do pay it back, the Guan family will have a hard time getting by for the next two months.

Moreover, I need to buy autumn vegetables this month and next month, which will be another big expense. I estimate that I will have to pay back the 300 yuan I owe next year.

Luo Yu estimated that six thousand yuan was enough for her and Xi Beizhan to squander, and took a sip of tea with a satisfied smile.

This life is wonderful!

On the other side, after delivering breakfast, Xi Beizhan returned to the security department. After being away for three months, the team members had become somewhat lax. Just in time for National Day in October, the team members were still full of enthusiasm, so Xi Beizhan decisively pulled the team out for training.

No one knew where he went. Even when Mine Manager Hao found out, he told his subordinates not to interfere. Section Chief Xing pretended not to see anything, covering his face with a newspaper and looking like he was studying diligently.

The team wasn't brought back by Xi Beizhan until after get off work that evening. When they looked at the team members, they all looked like they had been pulled out of the water. Their faces were pale, their legs were unsteady, and they were walking unsteadily. When asked what they had been doing, they all had a look of fear on their faces. Even Xiao Wei looked at Xi Beizhan with fear in his eyes.

Shaoyang was helped back by Xiao Wei and another teammate; he had even lost one of his shoes.

Upon seeing this, Xi Beizhan snorted disdainfully and said with a stern face, "You still need to practice more."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yang fainted.

The other team members who heard Xi Beizhan's words turned even paler and turned to run away.

In the end, Xiao Wei took the blame himself and sent Shaoyang to the mine's medical clinic.

Luo Yu walked out of the building, watching Xiao Wei carrying Shao Yang away, and asked Xi Beizhan in confusion, "Where is he going? Who is that person he's carrying? He looks familiar."

Xi Beizhan narrowed his eyes and watched Xiao Wei's retreating figure with Luo Yu. "Who knows? He didn't say anything after he came back and just left."

That person looked familiar to me; it was like I'd seen him somewhere before.

Honey, forget about everyone else, I'm hungry, let's go home and eat.

My second aunt said she'd have my sister-in-law go to the hospital that afternoon because there really was a child abduction last night, and it caused a commotion for most of the night. She, my sister-in-law, my eldest brother, and my second aunt's husband were so scared they didn't dare close their eyes all night. My second aunt's husband didn't go to work; my eldest brother ran over to get him a day off.

Luo Yu's attention was immediately diverted, and she grabbed Xi Beizhan and ran home.

Something really happened?

Oh, how can she be so quick-witted!
