Jia Dongxu's heart was pounding with fear!

He's timid to begin with, and after being so frightened, he probably won't recover for several days.

Now he just hopes that Qin Huairu can forgive him and not kick him out!

But how could that be?

"Get out! Get out of here now, and don't even think about coming back tonight!"

Jia Dongxu still wanted to plead.

Qin Huairu pointed a broom at him and said, "If you don't get out of here, I'll make sure you can't even stay in this courtyard tonight."

She knew she couldn't beat him, and she also knew he meant what he said.

Terrified, he put on his shoes and scrambled out of the house!

Jia Zhangshi, who was in another room, heard the noise.

"Dongxu, what are you doing out so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"I ate too much today, so I'm going out for a walk."

Just came out.

His tears flowed uncontrollably.

It's so embarrassing, he got kicked out by his wife again.

There's nowhere to go.

They could only hide under He Hongyang's small kitchen.

I hope to stay here for the night.

Hearing the sounds coming from He Hongyang's room, his tears fell again.

"Waaaaah, why can everyone else do it, but I can't?"

"Huai Ru, are you angry that I don't earn enough? My mom is going to work tomorrow, and she'll give you all of our salaries. You can buy as many sunflower seeds as you want."

104. Is she going to work at the bathhouse, or is she going to find a man?

Jia Zhangshi went to work!

She wished she could put wheels of fire on her legs and hold a red-tasseled spear in her hands.

We set off before dawn.

I didn't get back until late at night.

In fact, very few people take a shower early in the morning.

The reason why Jia Zhangshi was so diligent.

It's because she discovered the trick to it.

Each person going to take a bath has a small locker. After taking off their clothes, they put them in the locker.

After washing, take out the clothes from inside and put them on, then take your belongings with you.

But there are always those who are forgetful.

Something always gets left inside!

Every time Jia Zhangshi and the others left, she would sneak into those cabinets and rummage through them.

Sometimes you can find half a box of matches, sometimes you can find half a broken comb.

Sometimes, you can even find two cigarettes.

These were all left behind by guests.

And they're all small items.

Even if they can't find it when they get home, they forget where they left it and rarely come back to look for it.

Besides.

Sometimes when cleaning inside, you can find a small piece of soap.

These pants were used up, leaving only the size of a fingernail.

But little by little, it adds up.

She would wrap each piece she found in a piece of cloth.

If you collect them all together, you can take them home and use them to wash your face.

Some soaps even have a fragrance, making her face smell wonderful after using them!

Now she has a job.

Every time they return to the courtyard house, they hold their heads high with arrogance.

It seems to be showing everyone: "Look, I also have a job. I earn 15 yuan a month, and I can even find things on the side."

Yan Bugui and the three aunts were so envious they were practically drooling.

This is much better than her job at the cardboard box factory.

The cardboard box factory can't even earn ten yuan a month.

Upon hearing that she could earn fifteen yuan a month.

He eagerly asked her, "Do you need any more people? Keep an eye out for me, and if you're hiring again, please recommend me."

Finally, it was others' turn to beg her.

Jia Zhangshi grinned and said happily, "No problem, not only will I get a salary, but I'll also get a free bath."

Actually, she was just bragging.

How could she possibly get a chance to take a bath?

I work hard every day and sweat profusely.

Only after everyone had left did I dare to secretly use a basin to collect water and rinse it.

If the person in charge of the bathhouse finds out that she was secretly taking a bath there, they'll definitely fire her.

She came to clean, not to take a bath.

Even their staff members need bath tickets to take a shower.

The older woman continued, "I heard you have to clean not only the women's bathhouse but also the men's bathhouse. Isn't that inconvenient?"

"What's inconvenient about it? Do you think I go to clean up while they're showering? Of course, I only go to clean up after everyone's left. Besides, you can sometimes find cigarettes in the men's bathhouse."

"If we can pick up a cigarette every day, Dongxu won't need to buy cigarettes anymore, and our family will save a lot of money."

The three women were increasingly tempted as they listened.

I can't wait to go there with Jia Zhangshi right now and see for myself.

But the more Yan Bugui listened, the more uneasy he felt.

Everyone said that Jia Zhangshi had found a job, and they thought it was a good job.

What kind of job could a rural woman of her age find?

So that's what you do.

Although he also wanted his wife to earn more money and find a good job so that she could also take advantage of some small things.

But no matter how much he tries to gain an advantage, he won't take this advantage!

He grabbed one of the three older women and said, "What kind of behavior is this with all those men and women inside? You're not allowed to go in."

"But if Aunt Jia can go, why can't I?"

"She's a widow, of course she's not afraid of anything. Don't forget you have a man. Do you think those men who go to take a bath don't have other ideas?"

The three women were shocked on the spot!

Why didn't she think of that?

Logically speaking, there are two women in their family who are not working.

Why wasn't Qin Huairu sent?

It seems they also have these concerns.

Despite Jia Zhangshi's smug expression, this was by no means a good job.

Logically speaking, someone who has a boyfriend should be careful.

As a widow, she should be even more careful!

There's always trouble at a widow's door.

If something were to get out, would the Jia family still be able to live in this courtyard?

My husband is a teacher, after all; he can see right through me!

Of course, Jia Zhangshi didn't understand.

Seeing the shocked look on the third aunt's face, I thought she was envious of how much money I earned.

"Don't worry, if our bathhouse hires again, I'll definitely keep an eye out for you."

The three women quickly waved their hands: "No need, I'm doing quite well at the cardboard factory, and the neighborhood committee said they'll raise our wages at the end of this year."

"No matter how much the price goes up, I still won't earn 15 yuan."

I wish I could describe her work experience to her again.

The three women kept backing into their homes, saying, "I still have to go home and cook. Let's stop here for today."

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I got home.

"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise she would have dragged me to the bathhouse for a visit."

"Now you know, if it were really that good, would someone like Jia Zhangshi introduce you to someone?"

"I noticed that since she went back to work, she looks energetic and radiant, as if she has regained the vitality of her youth."

"Hmph! She must have seen those men in the bathroom and her heart started racing."

"You mean... Good heavens, I can't even imagine, is there going to be some kind of scandal in our department again?"

Back to the Intermediate People's Court.

Jia Zhangshi saw He Hongyang reading a newspaper in the courtyard.

Wang Liying peeled walnuts for him.

They kept shouting.

"I'm off work. I got paid today, a full 15 yuan."

"Thanks to my husband Dongxu, if he hadn't helped me find this job, I wouldn't have earned so much money at all."

“Now that our family is doing better, we’ll go out and buy more food. It’s just buying food to eat, it’s about the same as eating the ration. Besides, our family can afford it.”

"Huai Ru, what did you cook today? Did you make any stir-fried dishes? I'm starving."

Qin Huairu was never home. Even though Jia Zhangshi went to work every day, she never cooked.

Every day, she would either go out for a stroll or wait in the yard hoping that He Hongyang would wave to her.

Now there's another person in the family earning money.

She can not only eat sunflower seeds, but also go to the street to buy steamed buns when they are not at home.

Those steamed buns were so oily, every bite was incredibly satisfying.

She wished she could just stop cooking and eat steamed buns at the shop every day.

If you could serve it with a side dish, it would be even more delicious!

Right here.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiefang returned from outside.
