A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

Ye Wenxi frowned after hanging up the phone.

She underestimated the shackles imposed on women in this era.

The jobs at the garment company offer flexible hours and decent pay.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be that the business is completely unsustainable.

There's always a balance between life and work; even if you take on fewer tasks, you can work on them slowly.

But Zhang Yunxia's words just now gave her a different interpretation.

It's probably not just that people at home are too busy to manage.

Some people can't stand their daughters-in-law being independent and self-reliant.

I'm worried that things will be difficult to control in the future.

They worry that the household chores and tiring work might fall on their shoulders.

They don't want them to have cash on hand and be able to stand up for themselves.

It's possible that a few elderly women got together and discussed it, and then decided to unite and put pressure on each other.

After Lu Weihua saw that her second sister-in-law was visibly downcast after hanging up the phone, she came over to ask what was going on.

Ye Wenxi naturally relayed this matter to her.

After hearing this, Lu Weihua slammed the half-eaten apple he was holding onto the table with a loud thud.

"This isn't a matter of having a lot of work or a little work."

"Aren't those mothers-in-law just afraid they won't be able to boss their daughters-in-law around anymore?"

"Second sister-in-law, what are your plans for the future?"

"The garment factory is located in a residential compound; there must be quite a few families like that."

Ye Wenxi did not respond immediately.

In the family compound, 99% of the female military dependents are devoted to the kitchen, children, and the elderly.

This was the mission they were tacitly "given" by society and family when they accompanied the soldiers.

As a business owner, the lowest-risk approach is to set strict entry requirements when hiring.

I only want to find someone like Zhang Yunxia, ​​someone with no family burdens and who can control their own time.

Thinking of this, Ye Wenxi suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh.

Previously, in a modern company.

My female colleagues are either pregnant with their second child or have family members who need long-term care due to illness.

One by one, they were moved to the edge, and eventually, under the guise of "optimization," they were quietly "asked to leave."

She sat in the conference room at that time, cursing the injustice in her heart and sighing that women's paths are always narrower.

Now that it's my turn to run it, I'm having the same thought.

How tragic, how lamentable...

Ye Wenxi let out a sigh of relief.

"I'll discuss the specifics with them when I get back. If they really want to do it themselves..."

"I will try my best to provide some assistance."

Lu Weihua's eyes widened: "Huh? How are you going to help?"

"If you help them, who will do the housework at their house?"

Ye Wenxi just smiled.

"Therefore, we need to revitalize the entire residential compound."

"What do you mean?" Lu Weihua tilted his head, not understanding.

Ye Wenxi moved closer, lowering his voice as if he were telling a secret.

"I have an idea."

She gave a general overview of the plan...

"What?! You want to start a 'mutual aid society'?" Lu Weihua was a little confused.

"It's not that we specifically opened this, but rather we wanted to mobilize all the resources and manpower in the hospital," Ye Wenxi added.

"Let those who want to make clothes do so with peace of mind. For those who don't have time to wash clothes or clean, just spend a little money to ask other sisters-in-law who have free time to help."

"Don't those mothers-in-law complain that their daughters-in-law are a burden on the family?"

"What if the mother-in-law could also earn money by helping with cleaning and childcare?"

Lu Weihua was stunned; to her, this was almost a fantasy.

But Ye Wenxi felt it was worth a try.

For these women trapped in the 'family'.

More importantly, for her own sake.

"According to Sister Yunxia, ​​we've had quite a few orders recently."

"With more styles and promotions in the future, I believe my business will grow bigger and bigger."

"But my garment factory is located in a residential compound, so it's very inconvenient for me to go out and find workers."

"It's best to hire military dependents for help."

In fact, mutual aid societies are the future "intermediary companies".

This will be a common pattern in the future.

This will enable the military dependents' institute to transform everyone's time and skills into tradable value.

Instead of wasting time on repetitive and trivial housework.

"It's a waste for a family and society if someone can earn more through their skills but is forced to stay at the stove."

Lu Weihua opened his mouth as if to say something.

Ye Wenxi stood up and said, "Wait a moment."

She found the latest edition of the People's Daily and showed it to Lu Weihua, pointing to the article inside.

Most people are still unaware of how the nation's economic pulse has been beating since 1979.

But Ye Wenxi knew it was only a matter of time.

"Since the policy is shifting and the demand is real."

"Then why not give it a try?"

Lu Weihua's eyes widened.

I can roughly picture the scene Ye Wenxi described in my mind.

If that were really possible, then this military dependents' home would be quite different.

"But, Second Sister-in-law," she suddenly thought of something.

"Don't you still have to take college entrance exams? How can you have so much time to arrange all this?"

Ye Wenxi couldn't explain this to her in detail.

Design, management, operation, and even the knowledge gained after attending university.

For her, none of these were things she had to figure out from scratch through hard work and trial and error.

She simply stood on the shoulders of the future, allowing her to see further than others.

It's just moving something that already exists to this era.

Assign a reasonable academic qualification to the knowledge you already possess.

The reasons behind this "effortlessness" are naturally inexplicable.

"We'll see when the time comes," Ye Wenxi said gently, changing the subject.

"Do you have any plans later? Shall we go shopping? And you can come with me to the clothing factory's retail store while we're at it."

"OK!!"

Lu Weihua's attention was immediately diverted, and he became excited.

.......

Time flew by, and the day arrived for the high school diploma retake exam.

There were quite a few people in the examination room.

Ye Wenxi noticed a rather interesting phenomenon.

The age range of the candidates is very wide, ranging from teenagers to people in their thirties and forties.

Since the resumption of the national college entrance examination, those who dream of going to university have wanted to give it a try.

For many, retaking the high school diploma exam has become an unavoidable hurdle.

After several exams, it was noon.

Ye Wenxi rubbed her aching wrists and followed the crowd out of the examination hall.

I had only walked a few steps when I heard someone shouting behind me.

"Comrade Ye!"

She turned around and saw the man at the next table.

This person was sitting next to Ye Wenxi.

During a break between exams in the morning, the man chatted with her for a few minutes.

He asked Ye Wenxi what major she wanted to study and what university she wanted to attend.

The two exchanged some of their thoughts.

He quickly caught up, his breathing still a little rapid.

"Comrade Ye!"

He stopped, adjusted his glasses, and his ears looked a little red.

"I see it's almost lunchtime. I know there's a state-run restaurant nearby."

"The food is quite substantial. If you haven't eaten yet, how about we grab something to eat together on the way?"

Just as Ye Wenxi was about to open her mouth to refuse, she was pulled towards him by a force.

"Honey, are you done with your exams?"

Lu Weidong, dressed in military uniform, stood beside her with straight shoulders. He didn't look at the male comrade; his gaze was fixed on Ye Wenxi's face.

"Why are you here so early?"

Ye Wenxi looked up, saw him, and a smile immediately spread across her eyes.

Lu Weidong then turned his face to look at the person opposite him.

His face showed no particular expression; he nodded and greeted them.

"Hello. I am her lover."

The man was stunned for a moment, and his ears turned even redder.

"Hello..."

Ye Wenxi leaned closer to Lu Weidong, her tone natural.

"Sorry, comrade, my wife is here to pick me up, we have to go now."

Lu Weidong tightened his arms around Ye Wenxi, holding her firmly to his side. He nodded slightly to her and then turned around with her.

After walking a few steps, he lowered his head, his lips almost touching her ear, and whispered:

"You seemed to be having a good chat?"

Ye Wenxi nudged him lightly with her elbow: "Battalion Commander Lu, do you know anything about the exam rules? They're just asking about my major."

"His ears turned red from asking so many questions about his major?"

"My wife is amazing; she attracts people even when she's just sitting there without moving."

Ye Wenxi suppressed a laugh and pinched his palm: "Jealousy jar."

"Yes!" he admitted, tightening his grip on her arm.

"It's mine, I won't allow it!"

As he spoke, his hand slid down and naturally intertwined with hers, holding her tightly, and led her forward.

"But that restaurant he mentioned, shall we go there?"

"OK!"
