1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1598 Sending a Message

Chu Xue was only driven back to the military compound by someone arranged by Fu Yancheng after Du Juan returned to her parents' home three days later.

In just over a month, the furniture workshop's reputation spread throughout the city. In the past few days, it has received several large orders and is severely short-staffed. It no longer has time to recruit newcomers and train them slowly, so it issued a notice that anyone with carpentry skills can apply.

After Chu Xue arrived home and received the news, she quickly thought of informing her aunt Xiao Nianchun and her uncle Zhang Haitang to see if they knew anyone in this field who could bring their skills into the workshop. The pay was quite good, and with her design drawings, she believed that the workshop could grow bigger sooner or later. With connections to the military region, it would be considered a secure job.

Xiao Nianchun received a call: "Chu Xue, you just got back, why are you calling?"

"Aunt, I've received some news that I wanted to tell you."

"What news?"

“The military region previously set up a furniture workshop, and it has gained a good reputation these days, receiving a lot of orders. However, there is a serious shortage of manpower, so they are now recruiting carpenters. Do you and your uncle know anyone who is on good terms with you and has good carpentry skills? You can let them know.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nianchun said excitedly, "I have a colleague's son who used to work at the city's woodworking factory. I heard he offended someone and couldn't continue working there. This is just like a pillow coming to my door when I was sleepy."

My aunt still owes my colleague a favor, so your news is just in time. I'll go talk to her about it in a bit.

After informing her aunt, she immediately dialed the railway family compound. Her aunt, upon hearing Chuxue say that there was a place hiring carpenters, said, "Chuxue, thank you so much. My nephew has loved carving since he was little, and he's learned some carpentry from others. Although the military compound is far from the city, it's still better than him doing temporary work and just getting by. I'll go to his house now and see what they think."

Since both families had already called, he immediately dialed Liushu's number again: "Hello, Uncle Village Chief, this is Chuxue."

"First Snow, why are you calling back? Is something wrong?"

“Uncle Village Chief, there is such a thing. My husband’s military region has set up a furniture workshop, and because they have received a lot of orders, they are short of skilled carpenters. I remember that Uncle Wenyang, the carpenter of Uncle Wu at the village entrance, is very good, so I was thinking of sending him a letter to see if he would be willing to work here.” “Oh dear, that’s a good thing, but you know his situation. He has a limp. Will they hire him?”

“Uncle Village Chief, we should at least try, whether it works out or not. If it does work out, we’ll have a proper job, and maybe we can even start a family with it. Then Old Master Wu won’t have to worry about Uncle Wenyang all the time.”

"If they're willing, when can they go?"

"The sooner the better, after all, opportunities don't wait for anyone. If I can notify the village, others can also notify their families and friends, right?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go find them right now. If they're willing, we can let them come over tomorrow. This is a rare opportunity. You're a good girl."

After hanging up the phone, I started walking back.

She had only taken a few steps when someone stopped her: "Are you Xiao Chuxue, Fu Yancheng's wife?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue frowned slightly: "Yes, I am Xiao Chu Xue. Who are you, and why are you stopping me?"

The person blocking the road didn't look very old, but the tone of his question was far from friendly.

Then the person blocking the road said, "I am Xu Weilai."

Chu Xue had never heard of this person before. Seeing that she had only registered and was fine, she asked, "Did you stop me because you have a problem?"
