Chapter 307: Hanging Out With Big Boss Will Never Be Too Bad (4)

“I’m well aware of it. It’s not the factory workers’ recruitment period yet. When there’s a slot next time, I will get you in. For now, you should go to the countryside village to labor and earn work points first. There are so many people in the family and everyone needs to eat. Your grandparents are old and need to eat better. Your younger brother will be born soon and will all the more require good items for nourishment. Hurry and go to work.”

Wang Guozhu said like it was expected as a matter of course.

Under her sleeves, Gu Ruoqing’s fists clenched tightly for a long time and only released after a long time.

She took a deep breath and told herself that she had to endure it until her father sent her to work in the factory. By then, she would have her own job and a salary and would not need to rely on them anymore.

Helpless, Gu Ruoqing could only return to the countryside to labor. However, this time, she learned something – the factory did not open recruitment for workers any time and they had to wait for the right timing.

Thus, she relayed this to Chen Honghua and said that when the factory had an empty worker slot, she would ask her father to get Chen Honghua in and she could work in the city then.

With the Chen family as an example, Gu Ruoqing felt that she could use what she learned to gain even more benefits.

The brigade slowly became swarmed with work. Gu Ruoqing came to the countryside almost everyday, but she rarely labored and was chatting with people of the same age most of the time. Among them, those who fawned on Gu Ruoqing the most was Chen Honghua, Liu Zao of the South Lake Brigade, Sun Mei and Wang Li.

Liu Zao was the daughter of Miao Cuilan, who previously said in Jiang Yingqiu’s face that Mo Beihan doted on Gu Qingyao and not his mother.

Liu Zao and Sun Mei both wanted to marry Mo Beihan. Actually, so did Wang Li but she was Sun Mei’s sidekick and she dared not show it in front of Sun Mei.

Now that Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao were engaged, it was a given that Liu Zao and Sun Mei would want to curry favor with Gu Ruoqing.

The Chen family was not wealthy and the Liu family was also considered average. The Wang family was poorer, but the Sun family was different – they appeared very poor on the surface, yet they possessed many treasures that once belonged to the Gu family and thus they led very comfortable lives.

Sun Mei could give more things to Gu Ruoqing, so they had the best relationship.

This worried Chen Honghua extremely and she sucked up to Gu Ruoqing even more.

Gu Ruoqing became a celebrity among all of them to the entertainment of Gu Qingyao!

That day, Gu Qingyao brought the kids out to labor. She and Gu Fangting plucked ragweed while Little Six, Little Nine and Mo Chengxu were digging wild vegetables. Mo Chengrui was also plucking ragweeds.

Plucking ragweeds would earn them work points too. The Qing River Brigade and South Lake Brigade reared pigs, hence many children would choose to do this to earn work points.

As the Gu family’s class status was poor, it would be bad if the children did not do anything at all. Thus, Gu Qingyao brought the kids out while Gu Yunshen and Gu Yunshuang went to work in the fields.

Sun Mei, Gu Ruoqing and the group walked over. With a basket in her arm, Gu Ruoqing looked at Gu Qingyao’s group with arrogance.

When she was in the Gu family in the past, everyone except her mother doted on Gu Qingyao only and treated herself as air. She hated those days to the core. It was as though Gu Qingyao was a treasure while she was just grass.

Now that she followed her mother to the city, everyone was sucking up to her when she returned. Meanwhile, Gu Qingyao could only work on the farm. The sense of superiority satisfied Gu Ruoqing greatly.

Sun Mei laughed. “Gu Qingyao, doesn’t Mo Beihan send you things frequently? Why? Are those still not enough for you to eat? You still have to work on the farm?”

“Look at your elder sister. She is a city girl now!”
