My Beloved Super Fierce Wife

Chapter 557: 557 is set...

The two chatted as they walked towards the Broadcasting Station at the Textile Factory.

Cao Xiaoyu had a unique temperament and, unless it was working hours or there were special reasons, she wouldn’t stay in the office.

At this moment, she was sitting under the tree in front of the building where the Broadcasting Station was located, reading a book.

Lin Tang had heard from Comrade Qin Suqing, the know-it-all at the factory, about Cao Xiaoyu’s habit and headed straight there.

Upon arrival, sure enough, there she was.

"Comrade Cao."

Cao Xiaoyu lifted her eyes and brightened upon seeing Lin Tang.

She stood up and, hugging her book, jogged over.

"Comrade Lin, what brings you here?" she said, then glanced toward Ning Xinrou and spoke softly, "This is?"

Having interacted with Lin Tang a few times, Cao Xiaoyu was a bit more at ease speaking to her.

But with outsiders present, she still felt quite shy.

Lin Tang pretended not to notice Cao Xiaoyu’s awkward demeanor and introduced her, "This is my sister-in-law, she also works at the Garment Factory."

When Cao Xiaoyu heard that Ning Xinrou was from the Garment Factory, her eyes shone even brighter.

It was as if she suddenly saw hope, and a happy expression spread across her brows and eyes.

"Comrade, hello."

Ning Xinrou replied with a smile, "Hello, I came to talk to you about a job matter."

Cao Xiaoyu had tried broadcasting alone last weekend, but her nervousness still hadn’t subsided.

She almost regarded the Broadcasting Station with dread.

Not wanting to stay another minute, she just wanted to be in the factory.

She hurriedly said, "You know about my work, right? My salary is eighteen yuan, which will increase later, and the work hours are normal..."

Cao Xiaoyu explained the situation clearly, and Ning Xinrou followed up with her own details.

Both were very satisfied.

Cao Xiaoyu, worried about unforeseen issues, took the initiative to suggest, "If it’s convenient, shall we handle the formalities this afternoon?"

Ning Xinrou shared the same thought and nodded, "That’s fine."

As Lin Tang saw things go so smoothly, her brows relaxed, and her eyes filled with mirth.

Both had gotten their wish.

When they reached the Broadcasting Station, Du Xiaojuan found out about the matter.

To her, it didn’t matter who stayed, as long as the person could get the job done.

Moreover, the person coming was connected to Lin Tang, so she was happy to grant this favor.

After a simple assessment, the formalities were completed.

Walking out of the Broadcasting Station, joy was written all over Ning Xinrou’s face.

Grabbing Lin Tang’s hand, she said incredulously, "Tangtang, was it really that smooth?"

The ease of it all seemed unbelievable to her!

"Sister-in-law is more than qualified for the job, of course it went smoothly," Lin Tang said with a smile.

If her sister-in-law and Sister Xiaojing weren’t suitable for the broadcaster’s job, she wouldn’t have brought it up at all.

Cao Xiaoyu observed the close bond between the sisters-in-law and pursed her lips.

In her view, sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law were naturally antagonistic, and this scene before her was absurd.

Ning Xinrou glanced at the time and said to Lin Tang, "Tangtang, it’s getting late. I’ll take Comrade Cao to the Garment Factory for the formalities; you don’t need to come along. Go to work, don’t delay important things."

In her eyes, Tangtang was involved in significant matters and shouldn’t waste her time on trivialities.

Lin Tang knew her sister-in-law was familiar with the Garment Factory, so she decided not to tag along.

"Okay, I’ll head to work then."

Having said that, she nodded to Ning Xinrou and Cao Xiaoyu and left.

-

The news of Ning Xinrou becoming a broadcaster for the Textile Factory spread like wildfire through the Garment Factory’s fifth production team.

The workers had a mix of emotions.

The first to surface was disbelief.

"Comrade Ning, how did you become a broadcaster??"

"Does your family have some kind of connections?"

There were sighs, envy, and jealousy from others.

Female workers on good terms with Ning Xinrou looked envious, "Comrade Ning, congratulations."

Even though contributing to national construction is the same everywhere, who would prefer the noisy factory floor over an office job?

Before heading back to the Garment Factory, Ning Xinrou had bought some candy at the supply and marketing cooperative, planning to share it with the comrades who had kindly helped her.

She distributed it first to the female workers she was close to.

"Thank you for all the trouble you’ve gone through these past few months."

Knowing that they might not meet often in the future, Ning Xinrou felt quite mixed emotions.

The female worker knew it too, a trace of melancholy appeared in her eyes and her face showed her blessings.

"It’s no trouble, I’m happy to have made progress with you."

Having distributed the candy, Ning Xinrou chatted briefly with everyone, ensured a smooth handover with Cao Xiaoyu, packed up her things, and then returned to the Shuangshan Brigade.

She would report to the Broadcasting Station the following morning.

Ning Xinrou stopped by the commune office first to inform Lin Qingshan about the job change and mentioned she would be heading back to Shuangshan Brigade, advising him not to wait up for her in the evening before planning to leave.

Lin Qingshan, upon learning that his wife’s job had changed to that of a broadcaster at the Textile Factory, was stunned.

This... was something he hadn’t considered at all.

"...Why so sudden?" Though he said this, his expression was full of smiles.

Obviously, he was happy for his wife.

Factory work was hard, and she often came home so exhausted she would fall asleep right away, which pained him.

The work at the Broadcasting Station was different—more relaxed, with easier hours.

Ning Xinrou said with a smile, "I also find it very sudden; thanks to Tangtang."

Lin Qingshan was not surprised.

Pride for his sister showed on his face.

"I guessed as much; aside from Tangtang, who else could have managed this?"

Ning Xinrou agreed.

After a brief conversation, Lin Qingshan took time off from the commune office, hopped on his bike, and accompanied Ning Xinrou back home.

The brigade’s pigs had been raised for half a year and were nearly ready for market.

Lin Qingshan needed to prepare a report, and he was also busy with work.

Knowing this, Ning Xinrou only let him take her to the village entrance, then sent him back.

That also spared him from wasting time answering questions from the enthusiastic villagers on the way.

Lin Qingshan indeed had much to do and didn’t linger, so he rode his bike back to the county.

Ning Xinrou watched him leave, picked up her things, and headed towards the village.

Before long, she encountered villagers.

Upon seeing Ning Xinrou, some villagers paused.

"Lin Qingshan’s wife, why have you come back?"

When they noticed her carrying stuff, their expressions changed slightly.

"Why have you brought all your things back, did something happen?"

With this question, people gathered around, full of concern.

Even some of the educated youths joined in.

Ning Xinrou, seeing the villagers’ genuine care, thought about the completed procedures and didn’t hide the truth.

"I’ve become a broadcaster at the Textile Factory’s Broadcasting Station. I’ve got the rest of the afternoon off and will be reporting for duty tomorrow."

The people of Shuangshan Brigade: "??!"

Being an ordinary worker is quite different from sitting in an office.

Aunt Cui Fang, who had five sons at home, widened her eyes.

"Wow, you switched factories?"

Liu Dajie had grown numb with envy of the Lin Family’s life, the disparity between their fortunes was too vast to be jealous of any longer.

She simply said, "It must be your little sister-in-law who’s helped you again, right?"

"Although we don’t work in the factory, we know that the Broadcasting Station’s work is good; Lin Qingshan’s wife, do your best."

...

Grateful for everyone’s concern, Ning Xinrou briefly explained the situation and expressed her thanks.

After bidding farewell to the crowd, she went home.
