My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 235 Half of his medals belong to you

The villagers didn’t pay much attention to the construction at the Lin Family’s second household.

After several carts of red bricks arrived, the construction of the house began.

The construction workers were all strong men, and before long, they had laid the foundation.

While building the house, the Lin Family’s temporary living quarters were a bit damp.

Not to say it was incomparable to Lin Tang’s house in the county, it was even worse than the Lin Family’s original home.

Under these circumstances, Lin Lu and his wife brought up the idea of letting Lin Tang and her sister-in-law stay in the county for a while, and not return to the village just yet.

In the following month,

Lin Tang and Ning Xinrou occasionally went back to visit their family but didn’t stay overnight.

Soon it was payday.

Because she had been a huge help to the factory, Lin Tang’s wages were much higher than in the previous months.

She received a hundred and twenty-three yuan in hand, plus several vouchers.

Twenty-three was the wage, and one hundred was the bonus.

The accountant handling payroll gave Lin Tang the money and took out a form for her to sign.

"Congratulations to Comrade Lin. Continue to work hard and achieve more," said a woman about Du Xiaojuan’s age, smiling.

Lin Tang smiled as she signed her name, "Thank you."

She left as soon as she got her wages.

With the wages in hand, suddenly she had a lot more breathing room.

Just as she left the Financial Office, Zhang Yuxiu followed out behind her.

Lin Tang heard footsteps, looked back, and noticed that Zhang Yuxiu’s eyes were somewhat red.

"Sister Yuxiu, what’s wrong?"

It was payday; wasn’t it supposed to be a happy occasion?

Zhang Yuxiu clenched her halved wages in her hand and wryly smiled to herself.

"I made a mistake with the paperwork a few days ago and had my wages docked."

It was her own carelessness; in a momentary blur, she’d made a mistake with the numbers.

Turns out, managing a Warehouse wasn’t such a simple task after all.

Especially in a large factory like this, where there were so many items, it was all too easy to make a mistake.

"Ah?" Lin Tang had never encountered this problem and couldn’t offer any useful advice, only managing to dryly say, "...Just be more careful next time."

Zhang Yuxiu shook her head helplessly.

Having finally found someone she could talk to, she felt the urge to vent.

"The inventory lists I deal with could pile up a whole desk, and it’s impossible to get through them all with just a glance.

The Warehouse is so cluttered there’s no place to set foot, and ever since I took over, my mind has been a mess; I just don’t know where to start."

"I’ve been on edge the whole time and still carelessly made a mistake. After a whole month of hard work, half my wages are gone. After giving it to my mother-in-law... there’s not much left in my hands..."

Luckily she had made a little money from selling defective garments.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have enough for this month’s food. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Lin Tang had heard about the troublesome nature of Zhang Yuxiu’s in-laws; they were all extremely difficult people to deal with.

She lightly furrowed her brows.

"Have you never thought about not giving them money?"

"Qianqian is their grandson too; why don’t you demand support from them instead of the other way around?"

"You’re raising a child on your own; those people don’t even lift a finger to help but still take money from you. They’re practically pushing you and your son towards a dead end."

"As a mother, you need to stand tall for your own sake; otherwise, what will Qianqian do?"

Lin Tang felt that no matter the circumstances, people should at least have some backbone.

Showing weakness would only make others think you’re easy to bully.

However, she also knew that Zhang Yuxiu was not as fortunate as herself, who had a decent fighting ability and the backing of her family.

But still.

Zhang Yuxiu was a war widow; there ought to be a way to rid herself of those troublesome in-laws.

Indulging those people only harmed herself.

Zhang Yuxiu didn’t want to continue her current situation.

But her late husband’s family had several brothers and sisters-in-law, who were adept at dirty tricks, and she had grown afraid of being targeted.

"I want to stand tall, it’s just that some people are as revolting as maggots in a latrine; they’re not easy to shake off." She felt disheartened.

If only she had a reliable maternal family, she wouldn’t be so passive.

Seeing that Zhang Yuxiu was keen on changing her situation, Lin Tang pondered for a moment before finally speaking her mind.

"What’s so difficult about it? You control the money; give it if you want, or don’t if you don’t.

If they dare cause a scene, then let them. It plays right into your hands."

"Don’t forget, you are the wife of a hero, your son is the hero’s only bloodline, history remembers your husband’s name, and half of his medals belong to you. What do you have to be ashamed of?"

"If it really comes down to it, go complain to the military affairs office. Tell them how terrible things are for you, stand on the moral high ground, cast aside pride that brings neither you nor Qianqian any benefit. Wouldn’t tearing off the facade for a more peaceful life be worth it?"

Complain?

Zhang Yuxiu had never considered it.

She was taught never to trouble the Organization, even if it meant enduring some injustices.

But Tangtang’s words at that moment opened a door to a new world for her.

It seemed she wasn’t entirely without options against her in-laws after all.

Zhang Yuxiu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Her face eager, "The method you’re suggesting seems pretty good, maybe I should give it a try?"

Who would choose to keep dealing with troublesome people if they could avoid it?

Seeing that she still had a clear mind, Lin Tang seized the moment to add, "Right, there’s no harm in trying."

"But be mindful of your safety. Everyone has weaknesses; you need to adapt and find their vulnerabilities, then they won’t dare to mess with you..."

People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong.

A mother’s resolve is her strength, her lack of desires is her toughness.

If a woman truly decides to be tough, the fire she ignites can burn through the entire night sky.

Zhang Yuxiu nodded, her mind working on strategies.

Her gaze became more determined.

Remembering the problems she faced at work, Lin Tang decided to go all the way and casually offered her some advice.

"As for work, that’s even simpler."

"Request that your leader shut down the Warehouse for two days to carry out a unified check and preparation of the inventory, grouping things that belong together and splitting the multitude of items into several ledger books. There’s nothing about managing a Warehouse that categorization can’t solve."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuxiu looked at Lin Tang in surprise, feeling like there was nothing that could stump this young girl.

But the factory was so big and the Warehouse had so many items, with people coming in daily, how could it possibly shut down for two days?

She feared just one day’s closure could lead to worker uprisings in the factory.

"It’s probably impossible to close the Warehouse for two days," said Zhang Yuxiu, troubled.

"Nothing’s impossible," Lin Tang shook her head, explaining, "Closing it for two days to present the leader with an organized Warehouse is something they’d want. Just write a notice in advance on the bulletin board and everyone will cooperate with your work."

People’s awareness is quite high nowadays; no one really goes out of their way to create trouble.

Everybody eats from the same factory — squabbling endlessly doesn’t accomplish much!

Zhang Yuxiu was convinced yet again, her face filled with emotion.

"I’m kind of curious if there’s anything that can stump you," she said.

Lin Tang, hearing the compliment and unable to conceal her smile, confessed without false modesty, "I haven’t come across anything yet, but when I do, I’ll let you know."

Zhang Yuxiu couldn’t help but laugh and cry at her response.

"Tangtang, I plan to do as you said. If I run into problems, could I come to you for advice?" she asked earnestly.

Lin Tang nodded, "Of course, come over whenever you want."

The Warehouse was part of the factory, which she also used, so it was beneficial for both of them.
