Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Hongmei blankly, and was stunned for two or three seconds before she came back to her senses.

"You want to resign? What's the reason?"

Shen Hongmei lowered her head and her shoulders slowly twitched.

Shen Mingzhu took out the handkerchief from her bag, stood up and handed it to the other party's hand, with a gentle voice: "What happened, tell me carefully."

Shen Hongmei is one year older than Shen Mingzhu. According to rural age, she is already 25.

These days, rural girls get married young, and some even give birth to children at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

People like Shen Hongmei are already the top old girls in the countryside.

Shen Hongmei worked with Shen Mingzhu and earned a lot of money for her family every year, but she couldn't stand the gossips of the villagers. Shen Hongmei's parents couldn't save their face, so they forced a marriage for her, regardless of Shen Hongmei's wishes, and wanted to marry her, an old girl. go out.

"...My dad has received a betrothal gift and is getting married next month. If I dare not get married, they will make trouble in the factory. Mr. Shen, I really have no choice but to resign. In the factory.”

Shen Hongmei wiped away tears as she spoke.

Shen Mingzhu patted the other party's shoulder comfortingly, "You don't want to get married?"

Shen Hongmei nodded, her face showing grievance, "That man has a pockmarked face and buck teeth."

Shen Mingzhu joked funnyly, "Then if he is handsome, will you marry him?"

Shen Hongmei shook her head, "I don't want to get married, Mr. Shen. I just want to follow your career, work hard to make money, and get into college."

As she spoke, her face showed confusion and helplessness, "Do women have to get married? I have the ability to support myself. I don't rely on my family, and I don't want to rely on men, so why not?"

"Okay, why not?"

"But my father insisted on forcing me to get married, and even said that my sister would take over my job. If I hadn't said that I wanted to resign, my father would not have let me go to the city at all."

"Okay, you can go to work peacefully, and I will take care of your family."

With Shen Mingzhu's assurance, Shen Hongmei slowly stopped crying.

……

Probably because Shen Hongmei didn't go back, Shen Hongmei's family came to the factory the next day.

Also coming with her was Shen Hongmei’s sister Shen Hongju.

Two years ago, seeing Shen Hongmei go to the city to make money, Shen Hongmei's family also wanted Shen Hongju to work in a food factory.

However, Shen Hongju was only 15 years old at that time, and Shen Mingzhu refused directly, and clearly told Shen Hongmei's family that the food factory only recruits employees who are over 18 years old.

At that time, she also reminded the Shen family that it would be best for Shen Hongju to study for a few more years.

Probably because of her advice, Shen Hongju was admitted to high school last year, and the Shen family also supported her in her studies.

"Mingzhu, we are here mainly for Hongmei's marriage. She is already so old. If she doesn't get married, she won't be able to get married."

The attitudes of Shen Zhong and Yu Jin'e were enthusiastic, and their tone was flattering.

Shen Mingzhu is now the big boss, and their family hopes that their youngest daughter can also join a food factory and earn a lot of money.

Yu Jin'e pulled her little daughter and said, "This is Hongju, Hongju, call someone quickly."

Shen Hongju quickly and cautiously called Shen Mingzhu, "Sister Mingzhu."

Shen Mingzhu nodded lightly, "Don't you have class today?"

Shen Hongju wrung her fingers and whispered, "I dropped out of school."

Shen Mingzhu pretended to be confused, "Why did you drop out? You will be a sophomore in high school soon. You can take the college entrance examination after studying for two more years. After passing the college entrance examination, you will be a college student. Even if you don't pass the college entrance examination, it will be easier to find a job with a high school diploma."

"What's the test? What's the use of reading so many books in a girl's family? You won't get married and have children in two years." Shen Zhong scoffed indifferently.

Yu Jin'e also spoke up: "Mingzhu, you see Hongju isn't going to school now. It just so happens that Hongmei is going back to get married. How about letting Hongju take over Hongmei's vacancy?" Shen Hongmei just arrived and heard that her family My mother's words suddenly made her angry and anxious.

"Mom, what are you talking about? There are rules and regulations in the factory. Even if I quit my job, it won't be your turn to arrange who will take my place."

Yu Jin'e swung the knife over with a few glances, "Damn it, girl, didn't you say you'd quit your job when you got back to the city? Did you quit? Just wait, I'll settle the score with you when I get home."

After training her daughter, when she turned to look at Shen Mingzhu, her face had already put on a flattering smile.

"Mingzhu, Hongju has studied for one more year than Hongmei. She is also hard-working and capable. She will definitely be able to do a good job."

"mom!"

Shen Mingzhu gave Shen Hongmei a comforting look, and then she spoke leisurely.

"Uncle, aunt, when Hongmei didn't know anything, she could only do odd jobs when she entered the factory. It took me two years of time and effort to cultivate her into a talented person."

"To put it bluntly, Hongmei can't help but call me master. If you marry her now, my hard work over the past two years has been wasted."

Shen Zhong immediately pushed Shen Hongju forward, "Isn't there still Hongju? You can cultivate Hongju again."

Shen Mingzhu said in a cold voice, "Uncle, I don't have so much free time to teach others how to do things. You force Hongmei to marry, and I can't control it as an outsider. But in my own factory, you can't control whoever I want to hire." "

As he said that, he glanced at Shen Hongju and said, "I've said it before, I won't recruit anyone who is under 18 years old, even if it's just one day away."

"In addition, if Hongju only has a junior high school diploma, she can only work as a general worker when she enters the factory. Not to mention the low wages, it is hard work. If she has a high school diploma, she can work as a clerical worker after entering the factory, and she will have the opportunity to be promoted to management in the future."

Shen Zhong and Yu Jin'e looked at each other, obviously struggling and entangled.

Shen Mingzhu continued to add fuel to the fire, "Originally I was planning to be promoted to Hongmei as manager next month, but I didn't expect that my uncle and aunt had already arranged a marriage for her. Oh, what a pity."

Shen Hongmei looked shocked, obviously not knowing about the promotion beforehand.

Shen Hongju cast an envious look at her sister.

Shen Zhong and Yu Jin'e were surprised and happy, "Mingzhu, if Hongmei is promoted to manager, how much salary can he get in a month?"

"At least [-], and there will be a bonus at the end of the year. A conservative estimate is that I can earn about [-] a year at least."

Shen Zhong and Yu Jin'e came together to settle their accounts and immediately expressed their intention to cancel the marriage.

The bride price given by the man is only 500 yuan, but the girl can earn [-] yuan after working for a year. Even fools know how to choose.

"Hongmei, you have to work hard and don't let Mingzhu down. You don't have to worry about your family."

Before leaving, Shen Zhong and Yu Jin'e couldn't help but tell Shen Hongmei that they wished they could stay and do the job for Shen Hongmei.

After sending her family away, Shen Hongmei returned to the office nervously and excitedly.

"Mr. Shen, thank you."

Shen Mingzhu didn't even raise his head, "I said I would help you solve it, okay, let's do the work."

"Ah."

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu was not promoted to manager, Shen Hongmei felt lost and depressed.

It seems that he deliberately said that he would give her a promotion just to send her parents away.

It doesn't matter, she will work hard.

She has to rely on her own ability to get into the position of manager.

"Ah, wait……"

Just when Shen Hongmei turned around to leave, she was stopped by Shen Mingzhu again. (End of chapter)
