Chapter 529: Chapter 528: Mass Release 8

However, just two days before Xu Niannian and the others were about to leave, some restless people began to stir.

These restless people were none other than the mother-daughter duo, Zhao Shuihua and her daughter.

After being kicked out by Du Zhiwen, they had nowhere to live and were kindly taken in by a tailor shop owner for a few nights.

But Zhao Shuihua got involved with the shop owner’s man the very next day and was thrown out by the woman who had offered them shelter, which left her dragging Zhao Zhenzhen away in anger.

Yet she wasn’t satisfied. She wanted to marry a good man like everyone else and live a life of ease.

But being discontent didn’t help; they had already been thrown out.

Just when the mother and daughter were dizzy with hunger and penniless, they overheard a conversation.

"Yo, ma’am, where are you off to?" This was said by a young man, speaking to an old lady beside Zhao Shuihua.

The old lady smiled, "I’m heading to Qingshan Village to apply for a job."

Clearly, the two knew each other.

Zhao Shuihua listened to their conversation and gradually caught on.

The Xu Family’s big company.

Isn’t that the factory belonging to Xu Sanya’s niece?

Thinking of Xu Sanya, Zhao Shuihua felt a surge of anger. Why, why did she, so fierce, still have a husband who cherished and loved her?

Why couldn’t she find a good man to cherish her?

Zhao Shuihua’s jealousy almost twisted her inside out. After stewing in her anger for a while, she suddenly came up with a plan.

"Mom, I’m hungry, go buy me something to eat," Zhao Zhenzhen whined feebly, urging Zhao Shuihua to fetch her some food.

Zhao Shuihua felt sorry for her but was also helpless.

"Where’s mom going to get the money from, let’s go work," Zhao Shuihua urged Zhao Zhenzhen to get up.

At the mention of working, Zhao Zhenzhen waved her hands, "No, no, I can’t do that kind of work."

"You’ll learn how," Zhao Shuihua insisted, desperately dragging Zhao Zhenzhen to her feet.

Zhao Zhenzhen didn’t want to work, but she was no match for Zhao Shuihua’s strength.

Two hours later, the two appeared in Qingshan Village.

Zhao Zhenzhen gazed at the snacks sold by the roadside, unable to stop salivating.

Meanwhile, Zhao Shuihua was overwhelmed.

So this was Xu Sanya’s niece’s factory, huh? Wasn’t it a bit too big?

"Mom, do you think they’ll want us if we go for an interview?"

"Just do as I say, it will definitely work," said Zhao Shuihua confidently.

She led Zhao Zhenzhen straight to the recruitment office.

The recruiter was Dongzi, who came from the same village as Xu Niannian and had once liked her.

Seeing Zhao Shuihua and Zhao Zhenzhen come in, he just had them write down their names and that was enough.

The factory was hiring a lot of workers, and basically, anyone who came for an interview during this period got the job.

Zhao Zhenzhen and Zhao Shuihua hadn’t expected it to be so easy to get hired.

But they had no desire to start from the bottom like everyone else.

After filling in their names, Zhao Shuihua casually asked, "Zhenzhen, do you think Sister Niannian knows we’ve come here?"

Zhao Zhenzhen immediately caught on, remembering Zhao Shuihua’s words to her and pretending to laugh, "Mom, how would Sister Niannian know if you don’t say?"

Niannian?

Dongzi glanced at Zhao Shuihua and Zhao Zhenzhen, wondering which Niannian they were talking about.

Zhao Zhenzhen and Zhao Shuihua continued their conversation as if no one else was there, deliberately speaking in hushed tones, but just loud enough for Dongzi to catch.

Dongzi indeed pricked up his ears to listen.

Zhao Shuihua saw from the corner of her eye that Dongzi had stopped writing, as if he had paused to listen to their conversation, and she chuckled, covering her mouth.

"Why should we trouble Niannian? Moreover, we’ve come here to work, and just need to do our jobs well. Since they’re hiring, why bother troubling your Sister Niannian?"

"But mom, won’t Sister Niannian be upset if she finds out we’ve come here to do menial work? After all, you are her aunt."

Zhao Shuihua smiled gently, "If we don’t tell her, she won’t know, and besides, your mom doesn’t want to make things difficult for your Sister Niannian."

After a while, the two stopped talking.

Dongzi got the gist and began to wonder if the Niannian they mentioned could be their big boss.

But hearing their words, it seemed they didn’t want their Niannian to know they were working here.

Dongzi casually asked, "Ma’am, you don’t look like you’re from around here. How did you find this place? Do you have relatives around here?"

At this, Zhao Shuihua and Zhao Zhenzhen exchanged glances. Zhao Zhenzhen, pretending to be too quick with her words, blurted out, "Ah yes, my cousin lives around here, this factory belongs to my cousin..."

"Zhenzhen," Zhao Shuihua scolded and smiled apologetically at Dongzi, "Sorry, my daughter is talking nonsense, we don’t have relatives living here."

Dongzi heard everything Zhao Zhenzhen said, mentally filling in the blanks.

The factory belonged to her cousin.

So that would be Xu Niannian, right?

Though from the same village, Dongzi wasn’t aware of Xu Niannian’s family relatives, so he assumed the two were relatives of Yang Cuihua.

But it seemed they were hesitant to disclose that.

Dongzi thought they might have some unspeakable difficulties and didn’t want their kin to see them, but were in a tough spot without any options.

Just as he thought this, he heard Zhao Shuihua ask, "Young man, can your canteen provide meals today? My daughter and I haven’t eaten anything yet."
