Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 629: Liu Ling was made the cannon fodder of life (14)
Chapter 629: Liu Ling was made the cannon fodder of life (14)
The brigade leader looked at the proof in his hand with utter astonishment and took a while to recover.
He swallowed and asked, "You, you’re going to work at the machinery factory?"
This Luo Sanya really was a dark horse that startled everyone once she made a move!
Luo Ning nodded generously, "Yes, that’s why the factory issued this proof, so I can get it signed and stamped by the team. In a month, it will facilitate the transfer of my food ration and household registration."
The brigade leader couldn’t help but ask, "Did your dad help you find this job?"
Luo Ning looked helpless, "How could that be possible? He couldn’t even arrange for my little aunt to get into the machinery factory, let alone me. Now that I’ve severed ties with them, it’s even less likely he would help me."
Luo Zhu had always felt that the village wasn’t good enough for her, so she wanted her biological father to arrange a job for her at the machinery factory.
But a rural household registration was too restrictiave to get into a factory, and Luo Zhu’s scumbag father also got his factory job by a stroke of luck during a massive recruitment drive, working his way up from a temporary apprentice.
A workshop foreman could hardly squeeze a person in.
Otherwise, Luo Zhu would certainly have chosen to work at the machinery factory instead of continuing to dawdle in high school.
The brigade leader also thought it was unlikely that Father Luo had helped Luo Sanya get into the machinery factory, but if not, how could Sanya possibly have gotten in?
Seeing the brigade leader’s confusion, Luo Ning took the initiative to explain, "Some time ago, while I was picking up firewood in the mountain, I found a comrade who had fallen and was injured, so I helped him down the mountain and took him to the hospital."
"He said I had saved his life and insisted on repaying me."
"So, he arranged this job at the machinery factory for me."
The brigade leader: "..." Such good fortune was rare indeed, Luo Sanya’s luck was really something to envy.
He smiled and said, "It’s good to see someone so grateful and willing to repay a kindness. With this job, you and your little sister won’t have to worry about your livelihood."
A temporary worker at the machinery factory was said to earn as much as eighteen yuan a month, not to mention other benefits. And Sanya would be made a regular worker too, truly enviable.
Luo Ning nodded and smiled, "Yes, I will lead a good life with my little sister from now on."
The brigade leader had a good impression of her and stamped and signed the documents promptly.
After Luo Ning left the office, a group of villagers surrounded her, asking how she managed to get a job at the machinery factory and whether her dad had arranged it.
Of course, Luo Ning wouldn’t allow the scumbag to garner any reputation, especially since it wasn’t his arrangement.
So she repeated the story she’d told the brigade leader.
Those present were filled with various shades of envy and jealousy; Luo Sanya’s luck was too good, casually saving someone’s life and getting to be a factory worker in the city.
Why hadn’t they encountered anyone to save when they went up the mountain to gather firewood?
A few, even more green with envy, looked at Luo Ning with ill-disguised displeasure.
Luo Ning didn’t care what everyone thought; she smiled politely, greeted them, and went home.
Wuya had also heard about this, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Luo Ning, "Sis, you’re really going to work in the city?"
Luo Ning smiled and patted Wuya’s head, "Yes."
"No more worries about our livelihood. After I become a regular employee, I’ll send you to school next spring."
Wuya’s face lit up with longing, but she shook her head, "School costs money, and it keeps you from working; I won’t go."
Luo Ning chuckled, "No need to work in the future, I will support you."
"After a month, when I’m a regular employee, I’ll make almost thirty yuan a month, enough for your schooling and our living expenses."
"Study hard, and after you finish high school, you can find a job in the city too."
Even though the college entrance examination hadn’t been reinstated when Wuya finished high school, with a high school diploma, Luo Ning could help her sister find a job to tide her over.
She planned to let her sister continue reading, and when the college entrance exam was reinstated, she would take it and become a college student.
Wuya’s eyes reddened, "Sis, will our lives really be that good in the future?"
Luo Ning nodded firmly, "Of course."
He then took essentials like grain, eggs, streaky pork, and brown sugar out of his carrying basket.
"Look, we can start living a good life from now on, not to mention in the future," she said with a smile.
Wuya covered her mouth in astonishment, "Sister, where did you get all this stuff?"
Luo Ning replied, "I got it for saving that person."
"I’ll make you braised pork and scrambled eggs for dinner."
Wuya smacked her lips, "Great, I haven’t even tasted braised pork before."
In the past, their family did make it, but the old hag never let the sisters have any.
She had previously worried about making ends meet, but now, she was not only free from worries but also full of hope for the future.
She also agreed with her sister’s idea to go to school, and once she graduated from high school and had a job, she decided she would repay her sister with even more kindness.
The two sisters laughed and went to the kitchen to cook together.
On the other side, the overall mood at the Luo Family was quite low.
Grandma was so angry her face turned green, "That wretched girl came across such dumb luck; saving someone got her a job at a machinery factory."
Luo Zhu felt even more bitter resentment at this time.
She really hadn’t expected Luo Sanya to fail in saving Jiang Congyi, but then go on to save someone else and land a good job.
How come that wretched girl was always so lucky? It was infuriating.
The other members of the Luo Family also felt particularly uncomfortable.
Suddenly being outshone by a niece they had always looked down on made them feel extremely aggrieved.
Sister-in-law Luo said sourly, "No wonder that wretched girl wanted to split from our family and cut ties. She probably saved someone earlier, knowing she would be arranged a job, not wanting us to share in her good fortune."
If she hadn’t cut ties with the family, considering the good job the wretched girl got for saving someone, who else would be qualified to work it? Her eldest son would make more sense. freёwebnoѵel.com
The other branches of the family also felt sour, "I heard that wretched girl might become a regular employee after just one month, and by then, her salary will be nearly thirty yuan—it’s almost as much as what we split in a year."
If the wretched girl hadn’t left the family, whoever went to work, that nearly thirty yuan a month would be communal, and they would have gotten a share.
Grandma also felt sure that the wretched girl had plotted the family split in advance.
She slammed her hand on the table, "What kind of job could a wretched girl like her get? It will just end up benefiting others in the future."
"No, she can’t take that job."
She stood up and declared, "I’m going to find her and make her give up that job."
Such a good job at the machinery factory shouldn’t be wasted on that wretched girl.
With these words, the other branches and Luo Zhu were all stirred into action.
So they egged on Grandma to make a scene.
True to form, Grandma brought the family, rushing down to the house at the foot of the Mountain.
Upon reaching the entrance, they smelled the rich scent of meat and couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
"That wretched girl is really living the good life, not only has she got a job, but she’s also eating meat," muttered the people from the Luo Family, jealousy reddening their eyes.
They hadn’t eaten meat in two or three months.
"That wretched girl has meat but doesn’t honor Grandma. It’s just too outrageous."
Grandma was especially furious; in the past, whenever there was meat at home, she was the one in charge of distributing it, and that wretched girl hadn’t even thought to bring any home.
The Luo Family’s understanding of cutting family ties wasn’t profound.
When Luo Ning and her sister were not successful, they had one attitude: once cast out, don’t come back.
But as soon as the other party became successful, they switched attitudes, thinking not taking advantage was foolish.
