I looked up into her eyes. I didn't want to give up.
"I heard that Cheng Tun said that you plan to open your own shop, so you must do it yourself. Since that's the case, I will arrange for you to go to the first tier." Tao Man observed my expression as she spoke. She seemed to really want to see my distressed look, but I let her down.
How could Tao Man make the decision to put me in her shoes? After all, no matter how much she looked down on me, I was also Cheng Ruojun's wife, and she didn't dare to go out of her way to deal with me.
I followed Tao Man down to the workshop. It was a factory in the suburbs, and the factory was very big.
"Come in." After Tao Man and I finished changing our clothes and detoxifying the poison from our entire bodies, we went to the workshop.
As soon as I entered, I smelled the food fermenting smell. It was a good smell, but it made me a little dizzy.
The temperature here is very high, it's summer outside, and the temperature here has always been very high for fermentation purposes. I've been sweating profusely even before I started working here, and I saw the thermometer outside, so the temperature here is 40 degrees Celsius.
Tao Man stood by my side as she came in. I think she probably came to see me in a sorry state, but she looked quite miserable now. I saw sweat trickling down her cheeks and the calmness on her face had disappeared, replaced with anxiousness.
"All of us here are from two classes." Tao Man quickly said, "Each class will last about five hours, the morning class will last from seven to twelve, and the night class will last from twelve to six. Your job is to take your tools and scoop out the food, you can work now, and if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask others."
Tao Man threw down these words and ran out. I looked at her back and sighed in my heart.
However, she immediately ran back and said, "Remember to pick Xia Ze up at noon. He will be intern with you in the afternoon and I have already contacted him."
And with that she ran out again, as if she were afraid of something dirty on her clothes.
She didn't introduce anyone to me or tell me how long I was going to be here, so I had to do it first.
I took a deep breath, picked up my tools, and started shoveling the food. There were people around me who were doing the same work as I was doing, maybe because the morning shift was almost over, maybe because they didn't have the strength to talk to me, or maybe because they didn't want to talk to me, the newbies were always being pushed out, maybe I should just take the initiative, but I was too hot to be bothered.
I tried to scoop up the food, but every time I hit, the tool in my hand weighed more than a dozen pounds. Before long, the clothes on my back were all wet.
I want to give up.
Before Cheng Ruojun and I were married, I did hard work, but that's already been three years. I might not be able to do such hard work anymore. I suddenly felt so terrified that I was wide awake.
If I really am going to leave Cheng Ruojun, then I will definitely experience an extremely arduous period of time, just like before I married Cheng Ruojun.
I clenched my hands and asked myself, Do you still want to live that hard?
I took a deep breath, remembering all the humiliation I'd suffered.
I will.
I want to live on my hands, and I don't want to accept charity anymore.
I managed to scoop up the grain and lift it high, until sweat soaked my body.
Finally, it was time for me to get off work. Right after I walked out of the factory, I saw Cheng Ruojun guarding that place, standing beside him.
Cheng Ruojun stood there and looked at me. He smiled at me and waved me over.
Tao Man still maintained her indifferent expression, but I saw dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Now that everyone has noticed us, I heard them whispering to each other and pointed at Cheng Ruojun, saying that he was the CEO.
Since this was a factory, naturally there were many people who did not know Cheng Ruojun.
"Come here." Cheng Ruojun said, he still maintained his mature and steady appearance.
I nodded and trotted over.
Cheng Ruojun pulled me into his embrace and caressed the hair on my forehead with his hand. He said, "Do you want to go back?"
I raised my eyes to Cheng Ruojun, and the moment he asked that question, I suddenly understood what he meant. Cheng Ruojun was testing me, he might be confident that I would cower in the face of such a situation and work, but he still hoped that I would become his wife. He only invited me here to completely give up on me.
I looked into Cheng Ruojun's eyes. He was waiting for my answer.
"Not bad." I smiled and said, "You know, I've done this kind of work a lot since I was young. I've also carried cement when I was working. I'll tell you, actually, I earned quite a bit from carrying cement, but it was just too much work."
Cheng Ruojun stared at me, his hand stopped at the top of my head for a moment, and finally said: "Aren't you the one who hates suffering the most?"
I smiled and shook my head. "I'm more afraid of suffering unnecessarily."
Cheng Ruojun pulled my hand and said, "You're really different." Cheng Ruojun's gaze was deep, and he revealed an ice-cold expression towards me. That was something that I had seen before.
"People change." "No," I said.
Cheng Ruojun seemed to plan to say something, but at this time, someone suddenly interrupted our conversation.
"Why are you here, Cheng Tun?" The person spoke with a respectful and flattering tone.
Cheng Ruojun kept his cold expression and put on a formal smile, he said, "Manager Li, my wife is working here, I came to take a look."
I also shifted my gaze towards Manager Li. Manager Li was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with only a few strands of hair left on his head. He bent over and looked at Cheng Ruojun with a flattering gaze, and said: "Aiya, I truly have eyes but could not recognize Mount Tai. So Mrs. Cheng is here huh."
His gaze fell on me, the same fawning look as before, and a flash of surprise.
"Yes." Cheng Ruojun said, "I still need you to look after me in the future."
"Not at all." Manager Li's waist bent even further as he said, "Cheng Tun is too polite."
Cheng Ruojun conversed with Manager Li for a while before we came out. I changed my makeup and changed my clothes that were drenched in sweat.
When Cheng Ruojun and I were walking together, Tao Man was a step behind us, and she had a slightly unhappy expression. Maybe she didn't like Cheng Ruojun coming to pick me up, but Cheng Ruojun is my husband, so even if you had slept with him before, you are still a shameless Xiao San.
However...
