“Daughter, the food factory has placed another order, they want us to produce five thousand yuan worth of braised duck and five thousand yuan worth of fried items within five days,” Mrs. Xu said excitedly.
It was as if she could already see the crisp banknotes flying towards her.
“Right, Mr. Sun even installed a telephone for our workshop,” Mrs. Xu mentioned this and was overjoyed, she even made a special call to her son’s workplace.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, with a look of concern, walked over. She was now heavily pregnant, her belly noticeably showing. As soon as Xu Ying saw her approaching, her heart skipped a beat, “Sister-in-law, don’t move, I’ll come to you.”
“Little sister, our workshop only has ten people. Now, Aunt Lan Hua and Aunt Mei Lan are working with mom on the finished products, and the rest are washing and cutting meat. We can manage the busyness.
But now we have added an order of ten thousand yuan, and it needs to be done within five days, I’m afraid it might be difficult!
Should we hire some more people?” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s face showed urgency.
“Hiring, sister-in-law, from now on you will be in charge of recruiting workers and also handle the finances part-time.
Mom, you’ll be responsible for supervising the work. If anything is not done well, you must correct it promptly,” Xu Ying delegated tasks clearly.
Mrs. Xu nodded earnestly, patting her chest to assure, “Daughter, you just relax, mom will definitely not hold you back.
I will definitely work hard and not let you down.”
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu also had a face full of responsibility, “Little sister, I will also work diligently.”
“Sister-in-law, I’ll make a hiring sign and hang it up at the workshop later. You’ll be in charge of recruiting tomorrow, just like before, we want those who are meticulous and capable, with fewer schemes.

Don’t overwork yourself, just a moderate amount, and if you feel uncomfortable at any point, tell mom right away,” Xu Ying instructed carefully.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu felt moved, her little sister was indeed meticulous.
They had just finished discussing the hiring issue, and within half an hour, someone immediately ran up to their door, starting to inquire about the job.
“Sister-in-law, are you hiring? Do you think I’m suitable?” Zhang Dacao volunteered herself, rolling up her sleeves and clenching her fist to show that she was strong, “I can endure hardship and have the strength.”
Mrs. Xu saw Zhang Dacao’s haggard appearance and was somewhat curious, “Dacao, how have you turned into this after just a few days of not seeing you?
Right, isn’t your son getting married to Chen Zhiqing next week? How come there’s no movement from you?”
Normally, for something as significant as a wedding, one would certainly start preparations a week in advance. Zhang Dacao’s son was about to get married, yet there was no sign of her being busy.
As soon as Zhang Dacao heard about her son, she was filled with anger, breathing heavily, “If he wants to get married, let him. I’m not going to interfere, the ingrate.
The wife hasn’t even been brought into the house, and he’s already siding with her against me. If they’re like this now, what good days can I expect after she’s married in?
His father died early, and I raised him alone with great difficulty, only to end up with such a disappointment. I no longer expect him to be filial, just as long as he doesn’t drag me down.
I’m living separately from him now, and from now on, I’ll act as if I don’t have a son.” Zhang Dacao had come to terms with it. When her son was obedient, she had hoped he would look after her in her old age, and she doted on him.
But seeing her son treat her worse and worse, even daring to stand up to her for the sake of a woman and say hurtful things, why should she be nice to him?
With that time, she might as well work hard, save some money, and look after herself in old age—to count on that scoundrel would be utterly useless.
Mrs. Xu, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but feel pity for her. Zhang Dacao was indeed good at working; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to raise her son by herself till now.
“That’s settled, then. My eldest son’s wife will start recruiting tomorrow; you can go to her to register.”
Zhang Dacao nodded gratefully, her eyes reddening slightly. She had been self-reliant her whole life, never expecting to stumble in front of her son.
As soon as Zhang Dacao left, Liu Yuefen came running again with her daughter, this time followed by her two daughters-in-law.
Upon arriving at the Xu family’s place, Liu Yuefen wore a face full of ingratiation, “Sister-in-law, I’ve heard, our workshop is recruiting again. You didn’t hire anyone from our family last time.
This time, please take in both my daughter and daughters-in-law!”
Mrs. Xu was just about to speak when Xu Ying stopped her; she had given the recruitment job to Eldest Sister-in-law Xu and naturally wanted to see how well she could handle the task.
“The recruitment matter is being handled by my eldest sister-in-law.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuefen immediately fawned and ran up to Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, “Lingzi, look, we’re all family here, so just help us out, will you?”
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu looked at Mrs. Xu and Xu Ying with a troubled face.
Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes toward the heavens and said, “Why are you looking at us? You’re in charge of HR, make your own decision. But you’d better weigh it carefully.
We’re working for someone else, and if you don’t do a good job, the factory manager can directly remove you from your position.”
This was really unlike her.
“Sister-in-law, speak your mind, my mother and I are here,” Xu Ying said soothingly, moving towards Eldest Sister-in-law Xu.
Hearing this, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu immediately felt supported and, after some thought, said, “Our work operates on a strict system. You can come to me and sign up tomorrow.
At that time, we’ll initiate a selection process, and those with excellent work ability will be allowed to stay.”
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, educated as she was, managed to completely confuse Liu Yuefen in just a few sentences.
“What, what kind of selection process?”
“That’s very good of you to say!” Xu Ying whispered.
This instantly encouraged Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, who was brimming with confidence.
Even Xu, who was standing by her side, gave her a thumbs up.
Mrs. Xu was even more satisfied; her eldest son’s wife had finally brought her some pride.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu explained with a smile, “It’s about seeing who can work quickly and cleanly.
You don’t just get a salary for showing up at work. If you dilly-dally and are slovenly, failing to meet your targets, do you think they’ll just pay you for nothing?”
“Exactly, you think jobs are easy to come by. If you don’t work hard and make a real effort, who would want to keep you around!” Mrs. Xu said disdainfully.
Liu Yuefen gave an awkward smile, “So what exactly would we have to do?”
“You’d be washing vegetables, cleaning meat, chopping vegetables, and cutting meat,” said Mrs. Xu.
Xu Qingqing frowned the moment she heard this; wasn’t this just odd-job work?
She asked anxiously, “Aunt, doesn’t our workshop need quality inspectors and accounting staff?
And is the salary distributed by the factory?”
Xu Ying gave Xu Qingqing a meaningful glance and thought her expectations were too high.
“The salary for our workshop is allocated by the factory, but our own finance officer handles it. However, that position is already filled; we don’t need anyone else.”
Xu Qingqing bit her lip, a look of disappointment across her face.
Xu Ying was really put off by her reaction, “You’re not going to cry, are you? We haven’t done anything to offend you.”
Xu Qingqing somehow managed to force a few tears to appear, swirling around in her eyes but never falling.
“Yingying, if Qingqing can’t do it, I can,” Aunt Lan Hua chimed in.
“Right, I can do it too!” Xu Jinjin’s two sisters-in-law eagerly claimed one after the other.
Having a job was good enough; no need to be so picky and act like a pampered princess.
