Wu Jin expressed his opinion. In the end, the vote was three to one, allowing Wen Qin to successfully get hired.
As Wen Qin walked home, she still felt that it was unbelievable. She had really gotten chosen!
“Mom!” A six-year-old boy at the village entrance shouted happily when he saw Wen Qin.
When Wen Qin saw her son, a smile appeared on her face. “Xiao Hui, I got chosen!”
Xiao Hui smiled widely. “Mom, you’re so impressive!”
Wen Qin saw the two baskets beside her son. One was firewood that Wen Qin had gone up the mountain to chop before the interview, and the other was wild vegetables that Xiao Hui had picked in the afternoon. “Xiao Hui, it’s been hard on you.”
Xiao Hui shook his head and carried the small basket containing wild vegetables. “Mom, let’s go back quickly. Otherwise, Grandma will hit you again.”
The moment Xiao Hui lowered his head to pick up the things, Wen Qin smiled mockingly. Whether or not she would be allowed to go to work was the most important obstacle to overcome.
After dinner that night, Wen Qin mentioned to her mother-in-law and husband that she had successfully applied for the position of accountant in He Mountain Brigade’s food factory.
When her mother-in-law found out that Wen Qin had secretly gone to the neighboring village to apply for a job without a word, her first reaction was to pick up the copper pipe beside her and hit Wen Qin.
Wen Qin quickly said, “My monthly salary is 15 yuan. My work points will be 5 points a day!”
When Madam Sun heard this, she paused and narrowed her eyes as she stared at Wen Qin. “You can get half of the work points and a salary?”
Wen Qin glanced at her mother-in-law and nodded.
Madam Sun took a puff of her cigarette. After a moment, she slowly said, “You’re getting bolder and bolder. You actually dared to secretly run to another village to apply for a job. Kneel.”
Wen Qin clenched her fists, then let go and slowly knelt in front of Madam Sun.
Sun Guo sat beside Madam Sun with a blank expression. He also rolled up some tobacco and smoked. Even when he saw Madam Sun making things difficult for his wife, he didn’t react. He only stared out the door in a daze.
When Xiao Hui saw his mother kneel down, his eyes turned red with anxiety, but he didn’t dare to help his mother plead for leniency with Madam Sun. From his past experience, his plea would only let his mother escape this calamity at this moment. In the future, she would be treated even worse.
When Madam Sun saw that everyone in the room was under her control, she narrowed her eyes and hummed a tune proudly.
After half an hour, Madam Sun looked at Wen Qin, who was kneeling on the ground without daring to move. She felt very pleased.
So what if she was the daughter of a rich family? So what if she was beautiful and talented? She still had to listen to her orders obediently.
Madam Sun glanced at Wen Qin from the corner of her eye. “Do you know what you did wrong?”
Wen Qin lowered her eyes with a blank expression. “I shouldn’t have applied for a job at the food factory.”
Madam Sun nodded in satisfaction. “It’s good that you know. If you do it again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
With that, Madam Sun hit Wen Qin’s arm with a cigarette stick as she said coldly, “The food factory gets off work at six o’clock. After work, you have to come back in half an hour. If you exceed this time, don’t even think about working again! If you dare to stay outside and seduce other men, I’ll beat you to death! Also, you’re not allowed to shirk doing chores at home!”
When Wen Qin heard that she could go out to work, she heaved a sigh of relief. Although she had only been given half an hour, there was still enough time for her to jog back. She replied in a low voice, “I understand.”
Only then did Madam Sun let Wen Qin get up. Then, she instructed her to work while she wandered to the liveliest place in the village to chat.
The sky had just lit up when Wen Qin woke up. After working for an hour or two, she finally finished cleaning the house. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Madam Sun. “Wait.”
As usual, Yu Bing arrived at the food factory a little early. As soon as she arrived, Wen Qin arrived at the entrance of the food factory.
After Yu Bing registered Wen Qin, she let Mr. Wei watch over her. The position of an accountant was different from other positions. Even though Yu Bing wanted to help, she still specified a probation period of half a month. After confirming that Wen Qin could really take on this job in the factory, she would give her a promotion. After all, official matters had to be handled properly.
