70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 209 Sewing Fifteen Stitches
He Yuan was assembling a makeshift swing. The frame was welded from scrap iron, the bearings were salvaged from a scrap machine tool, the chair was made of elm planks which he had specially polished at a machine factory, and the swing ropes were made of three strands of ramie rope twisted together.

During assembly, he threaded four hemp ropes through the seat holes and secured them with a modified fisherman's knot. The tighter the knot is under stress, the less likely it is to damage the rope fibers.

He Yuan set the seat height to 45 centimeters off the ground, and finally tied a non-slip knot 20 centimeters below the seat as a footrest.

Xiao Yu squatted to the side, her hands seemingly obediently placed on her knees, watching her uncle make a swing. Her mouth was slightly open as she stared blankly until the basic shape appeared before her eyes before she asked, "Uncle, how many people can sit on this swing?"

"A family of four is fine."

"Wow!"

Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised.

He Yuxiang then asked He Yuan, "What are you and my aunt doing in the suburbs? It's all mountains there, it's so boring."

Xiaoyu turned to her brother disapprovingly: "I want to go play. I like mountains."

He Yuxiang sighed helplessly.

Oh well.

Tomorrow is the last day of October, which happens to be Xiaoyu's birthday. She likes mountains, so let's go.

The three of them take turns celebrating their birthdays, which is quite a lot.

He Yuxiang thought for a moment and asked, "Should we call Mao Mao?"

Xiaoyu finds playing with him boring, but playing with Mao Mao is very interesting.

Xiaoyu hesitated: "I'll go ask my aunt."

Chen Qing directly told the two siblings to ask Mao Mao's family: "Make it clear to them that it's very boring up in the mountains. If they're willing to come, we'll meet at the supply and marketing cooperative's bus stop at eight o'clock tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Xiao Yu ran outside.

He Yuxiang hurried to catch up.

Watching Xiaoyu run quickly, Tian Mengya said, "Your Xiaoyu is so lively."

"Right? So cute!"

Chen Qing proudly held his head high and puffed out his chest.

Tian Mengya: "Yes, just like the child you raised."

She paused and then asked, "Are you going hiking with Talia tomorrow?"

"If Momo is willing to come, Talia will most likely come as well."

"Oh." Tian Mengya ignored her reply, still happily munching on her sugarcane, and snapped angrily, "You didn't even call me!!!"

She and Chen Qing were the first to meet, and although their relationship was bad at first, it's getting better and better now, isn't it? But every time Chen Qing is with Talia, he gets closer to Talia. Why is that?!
Chen Qing quickly said, "Comrade Tian Mengya, would you do me the honor of coming?"

"Hmph, I don't want to." Tian Mengya crossed her arms and turned her head away haughtily.

Chen Qing sat closer to her: "Please, please, I'm begging you."

Tian Mengya's lips curled into a wild smile: "Alright then, you begged me!"

"Yes, I'm begging you." Seeing that she was happy, Chen Qing asked again, "You really don't eat sugarcane? I grabbed five sugarcanes this morning, I'm almost evolving into a sugarcane-picking master, the sugarcane I picked is really sweet."

Tian Mengya: "No."

Sugarcane makes your cheeks hurt when you bite into it.

Chen Qing: "Alright then."

She ate it herself.

Her cheek also hurt a little.

But it's really sweet!
Sugarcane wasn't exactly cheap, and she was constantly spending her money. Today, she did the math and, after deducting her living expenses, her savings had surpassed eighty yuan. After not doing any side jobs for a long time, she was already quite satisfied with having that much savings.

Xiao Yu ran to the small villa to find Mao Mao and asked them if they wanted to go play. Mao Jianguo: "No!"

He was determined not to see Chen Qing in the short term.

As one of the attendees at yesterday's meeting, he was asked by the organization to visit Zhao Guangrong, which forced him to take a day off.

Lying in his hospital bed, Zhao Guangrong had seven needles in his right forehead and eight needles in his left forehead, a total of fifteen needles!
His cheeks were bruised and swollen, a shocking sight.

Mao Mao quickly said, "I want to go! I want to go!"

Mao Jianguo: "If you yell again, I'll beat you to death."

That brat has no idea how terrifying Chen Qing is. A woman who dares to crack open a grown man's head in front of everyone is terrifying!
His wife, Talia, also liked to use her hands, but only on him, and their relationship was mostly about fun and playfulness. But Chen Qing was different; she was too fierce.

He can fight and scold, and is skilled in both literature and martial arts.

We absolutely cannot afford to offend them.

He already annoyed Chen Qing, what if Chen Qing beats him up?
Mao Mao refused: "I want to go, I want to go, I want to go!"

Talia said, "Go!"

Mao Mao cheered and wanted to pull Xiao Yu to his room to play.

Xiao Yu refused: "Uncle He Yuan is making a swing for my aunt. Do you want to come to my house and take a look?"

Mao Mao was so shocked her jaw almost dropped to the floor: "Does your house have a swing?"

Little Yu raised her fair and rosy cheeks, "Yes~"

Mao Mao: "Then I want to go see!"

He took Xiaoyu's hand and ran outside as fast as he could.

He Yuxiang said to Talia, "Auntie, let's meet at the supply and marketing cooperative's bus stop at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Please take care of Mao Mao tonight."

"Ah."

He Yuxiang nodded.

He quickly turned and left.

Mao Jianguo was devastated: "I told you, Chen Qing is terrifying. You didn't see such a shocking scene yesterday. You have no idea how terrifying it was."

"I also regret that I didn't see such a wonderful scene and didn't applaud her from the sidelines."

"what?"

"So what if Zhao Guangrong had fifteen stitches? How many years did she and her six daughters endure the cold? Can you understand the effort a woman put in while caring for five children and working tirelessly in a factory full of men to win the title of model worker? You can't. Do you know how cramped their living conditions were, how many benefits they missed out on, or how much hunger they suffered? You don't know."

Talia angrily pushed him away.

Mao Jianguo hurriedly chimed in, saying, "Isn't our machinery factory's women's federation doing a great job?"

“Director Lin is just one person.” Talia’s voice choked slightly as she recalled the scene when she visited the family of six that day. “They are a widow and her children. If they dare to complain, Director Lin can help them a little, but she will definitely be targeted by Zhao Guangrong and lose her job. She is willing to give up her model worker status, which is also to protect her job in a way.”

Mao Jianguo remained silent for a moment.

But that seems to be the case.

Talia: "According to what you told me about yesterday, Chen Qing has completely helped them. The six of them, mother and daughters, have been brought into the public eye. She will regain her model worker status, have a brand new house, and will no longer need to fear being targeted by her superiors. Because of Zhao Guangrong's precedent, even if people are angry, they will be wary of Chen Qing. And the anger of a group of leaders after losing their houses is also directed at Chen Qing."

"It was her who went to the workshop."

"She is the only one whose interests have been genuinely harmed."

Mao Jianguo was speechless for a moment.

After a long silence, he stammered, "I was wrong."
