Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 312: The Republic of China: The Countryside Wife and the Cold Commander 13
Aunt Liu said, "One job is to teach embroidery to someone at their home. The family has three girls, the oldest is fifteen or sixteen, and the two younger ones are already eleven or twelve. There are more than a dozen people in the family, young and old, and they can't even get enough to eat."

"Their mother thought that if they learned embroidery, they could also help wealthy families with mending and supplementing their household income."

"If you get married in the future, it will also be a skill."

"This job is easy, and the three girls are obedient. I have seen your embroidery skills, and I can definitely teach you."

"The other job is more difficult, which is to teach children in a nursery."

There was a hint of disgust on her face. "Those children were beggars in the city before. They were fatherless and motherless. They were very naughty. They pestered adults for food. Some even stole wallets and robbed food. They were very bad."

Lin Zhi was surprised: "Is that so?"

Aunt Liu nodded, "That's right. Those babies have lice and fleas on their heads, and they are dirty all the time. There are big and small ones. They are noisy in the nursery, especially when they are used to being wild outside. It's hard to discipline them."

Seeing that she seemed more interested in the nursery school, she couldn't help but suggest: "Miss Lin, you have a good temper and are thin and weak, so it would be better for you to teach embroidery. Girls are quiet and obedient, so you only need to discipline them and you won't have to worry about anything."

Lin Zhi asked more about the orphanage and its geographical location. Coincidentally, it was not far from the school where Guan Junzhang taught.

But what she cared about more was that she remembered that it was mentioned in the plot of the book that this orphanage was actually built by Guan Jingchong. In the past, there were always some homeless children begging on the streets of the city. He disliked that they affected the cityscape, so he had an orphanage built.

Gather the children together and raise them in one yard so that they don't have to go around asking people for money.

This happened when she had an argument with Guan Junzhang that day and Guan Jingchong casually said, "He is so kind-hearted, why doesn't he show some kindness to the beggars on the street?" She then thought of this and took the opportunity of looking for a job to ask Liu Ma.

Aunt Liu has been working in the Guan family for many years and has a lot of information from various channels, so it would be right to ask her to make the connection.

Through these two days of contact, she discovered that Guan Jingchong was a very tough person and it was difficult to get close to him. Moreover, he would set out early every morning either to go to the military camp or to fight with high-ranking officials or foreigners in the city, as well as marshals from other provinces.

He didn't get home until very late, and probably only in the past two days because she had just arrived, he came home early.

There were too few opportunities for the two to interact.

She naturally wanted to create more opportunities to meet them, and at the moment, only this orphanage was suitable and in line with her status.

"From what you just said, I don't know who built this orphanage. It's really kind of them to provide a shelter for the children. Although I don't have much ability, I also want to help." Looking at Aunt Liu, he said, "I want to go to the orphanage, Aunt Liu, please help me."

Aunt Liu didn't expect that she would go to the orphanage. After all, she had told her the disadvantages of the orphanage. Most girls would choose one that was more relaxed and less troublesome, but Miss Lin chose this one.

But think about it, I heard that Miss Lin's family is just an ordinary farming family, not rich, so naturally she is not that pampered.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not a big deal. If you want to go, they welcome you. So, I'll personally accompany you there tomorrow morning. If you feel it's not suitable, we can go to another one." He gave her a chance to regret.

Lin Zhi did not refuse her kindness: "Okay, I'll listen to you." Aunt Liu smiled more sincerely. It was already late at this time, so she said no more. She asked Lin Zhi to have a good rest and went downstairs quickly. Lin Zhi watched her walk away and closed the door to rest.

The next day, Lin Zhi got up early, chose a plain cheongsam from the closet, tied her hair behind her head with a thorny hairpin, and went downstairs to have breakfast with Guan Jingchong. Halfway through the meal, Guan Jingchong had finished eating and told her to eat slowly, then he took his coat and went out.

After she finished eating, she waited until about seven o'clock to prepare to go out with Liu Ma. Unexpectedly, at this time, someone delivering something to the commander's residence came, and Liu Ma had to exchange the goods, so she couldn't get away for the time being.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi asked her to continue with her work, asked for the address, and then set off to the orphanage alone.

The rickshaw pulled her through the busy streets, which were full of early risers. When passing by a school, she saw female students wearing blue school uniforms and boys wearing black Zhongshan suits. In that era, to be able to afford to go to school, one either had to work together as a family or have money.

Obviously, most students come from relatively well-off families and can afford to attend such a school.

The driver took her for a while and saw a house in a small alley. He said, "This is it." He took the money and left. Linzhi walked towards the gate of the courtyard. She could hear children shouting, crying, and women cursing.

I raised my hand and knocked on the door, but no one came to open it, so I just pushed it open:
It was indeed very lively inside. A woman in her forties was holding a one or two-year-old child in her arms. She was angrily asking two other children who were fighting to stop. There were more than a dozen children standing around, boys and girls, big and small.

After seeing her, I took the time to ask her what was going on.

Lin Zhi glanced at the twenty or so children, and there seemed to be voices in the room, so she explained her origin: "I heard that you are recruiting teachers, and I am here to apply."

While she was talking, the two boys who were fighting refused to let go, and the woman slapped each of them in the face.

She couldn't help but sigh. There were so many children, but only this woman was here to look after them. How could she manage them all? She probably wanted to find a teacher to share the burden.

"If you don't let go, you won't have breakfast." After threatening, the woman handed the child in her arms to a girl who was obviously older in the crowd, about ten years old, and walked towards Lin Zhi: "Let's talk inside."

After entering the room and sitting on the stool beside the table, it finally became a little quieter.

The woman introduced herself: "You can just call me Auntie Wang. We really need to hire a teacher here to teach the children to read and occasionally help me take care of them. But you can see the situation, it's very noisy. These children are begging on the street, and it's hard to change them for the time being."

Looking at her thin arms and legs, he said, "But don't be afraid. If you don't obey, I will beat you. If you don't dare to beat me, just call me to do it. Then I will pay you fifteen yuan a month. What do you think, girl?"

Afraid that she would be dissatisfied, he said, "This orphanage was built by the officials in the government office. They only gave us so much money. Apart from food and drink, this is the only salary we can give. But you don't have to teach them too advanced things. Just let them learn to read."

After all, the purpose at the beginning was just to teach them how to read. We originally thought that anyone who could read would be fine, but we didn't expect that she would be such a delicate and pretty girl, like the ladies from a wealthy family in the past.

Fifteen dollars a month is enough for an ordinary family to spend, and there will be some left if they save a little. I don’t know if this girl would like it.

But in fact, she still hoped she could come.
