Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 286 The Pretty Widow 4

Over the past few years, the two children have gotten used to it. First, their father went on a long journey, then their mother left, and now their uncle is also going on a long journey. Does it mean that after becoming adults, everyone has to go on a long journey?

He is a little worried now. Is it possible that his aunt will also have to go on a long trip in the near future?

Xiang Song spoke carefully: "Aunt, you won't be traveling far, right?"

Chu Yuan reached out and held them in her arms: "Don't worry, Auntie will always be with you. Now that Uncle is not at home, you two can sleep with Auntie, okay?"

Hearing this answer, Xiang Song and Xiang Bai both cheered: "Great!"

Chu Yuan was quite good at taking care of children. She had good cooking skills. She steamed a bowl of egg cake for them at noon and also made lean meat porridge. The two children ate it with relish and asked for more next time.

This is not difficult. There is no one else at home and the two children are still young. Chu Yuan does not need to worry about anything when cooking. He just needs to use his cooking skills.

After putting the two children to sleep, Chu Yuan went to the train station. She had to buy a ticket back to Liu Gangchuan's hometown to tell his parents who were far away there about his death.

Originally, she wanted to go to the post office to send a telegram, but she was afraid that her parents would be shocked by the bad news and might have health problems again, so she finally decided to go there in person.

It's a good opportunity to take the two children back to have a look, so as to divert some of the attention of the two elderly people.

Besides, the two old people also have a share of their son’s pension, and Chu Yuan would not embezzle such a large sum of money.

It is safer to hand money over to the person concerned in person.

Liu Gangchuan's hometown is not far from Dongshi, only two or three hours away. There is no need to buy a sleeper ticket for this distance.

Moreover, sleeper tickets these days were not something you could buy whenever you wanted; you had to use connections or something. Chu Yuan found it too troublesome, so he simply bought two hard seats, and the two children could just squeeze into one seat.

After buying the train ticket, Chu Yuan came to the steel plant. She had to go and collect her step-husband's belongings and discuss the job with her boss.

Also, she doesn’t know when Liu Gangchuan’s pension will be approved, and she wants to bring some back for his parents when she returns to her hometown.

Everyone in the factory knew about Liu Gangchuan's accidental death, and most people sympathized with Chu Yuan, the widow of their colleague, but there were always a few scumbags in a group of people.

Here comes one who comes right to the door, pointing at Chu Yuan's nose and scolding her for being a jinx. You know, these days, reputation is very important to a woman.

This person specifically picked an opportunity with many people around, wasn't he just trying to ruin her reputation?

This kind of person must not be let off easily, otherwise he will become even more arrogant in the future.

Chu Yuan was just about to get angry and establish an image of someone who was not easy to mess with in front of everyone, so that no one would target them in the future.

Unfortunately, reality did not give her this opportunity, because this scene happened to be seen by the factory manager who was passing by.

"What are you doing? Why are you all standing here without working? And you! You will be put in jail for promoting feudal superstition. Do you want me to call the police now?"

People these days are afraid of the police. When they heard that he was going to be taken to police station, such a big and strong man shrank into a quail. Chu Yuan couldn't bear to watch it.

After everyone dispersed, the factory director brought Chu Yuan to his office.

Of course, it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room, so the factory director also called his secretary Xiao Zhang to join them.

Liu Gangchuan's belongings have been sorted into a box. There are not many things, just a few work clothes, a cup for drinking water, a pen for writing, and so on.

The factory manager handed the box directly to Chu Yuan and asked her to take it back as a souvenir.

There was also compensation from the factory. The factory director had already applied for the highest amount for her - 2600 yuan. The remittance slip was placed on the box and handed to her.

Chu Yuan didn't expect the factory director to be so reliable. As soon as she entered the door, she didn't say anything, but he had already solved the second of the three purposes of her trip.

She bowed deeply in the direction of the factory director and said, "Thank you very much, Director. If it weren't for your help, I don't know when I would be able to get the pension."

She was telling the truth. It took a long time to get Liu Gangshan's pension.

The factory manager waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just a small favor."

In fact, he had heard of the name Liu Gangchuan a long time ago. When the deputy director of the workshop was promoted to director, he recommended him to him, saying that this person had good abilities and could replace him.

It was a pity that this happened before he had the chance to investigate it himself.

In addition, his brother Liu Gangshan also died in an accident at the steel plant. Two men in the family had accidents, leaving only women and children.

He helped them out because he felt sorry for them. After all, it was their steel plant's mistake, and he had to take responsibility as the factory director.

Seeing that the factory director was so easy to talk to, Chu Yuan immediately raised her next request: "I wonder what your factory plans to do with my husband's job?"

The factory manager obviously had a plan in mind: "There are two ways to deal with that job now. One is that you take over. I can change your job in the workshop to a clerical job, and you only need to sit in the office, but the requirement is that you need to have a certain level of education.

Or you can choose to return the job directly to the factory, and I can decide to give you 1000 yuan in compensation."

1000 yuan is a very fair price. If it was really returned to the factory, there would be no way that there would be so much compensation. The most likely possibility is that the factory director bought the job privately.

In this era when educated young people went to work in the countryside, it goes without saying what a job in a steel mill meant, so Chu Yuan felt at ease taking the 1000 yuan.

"Director, I have made up my mind. I choose to return my job to the factory."

"Okay, then let me take care of this matter. I'll have your sister-in-law deliver the money to you in a few days."

Chu Yuan believed in the credibility of the steel plant director, so she handed over the job.

But before leaving, she said, "Okay, Director. I've bought a ticket for two days and will take the kids back to my husband's hometown. Please tell my sister-in-law so she doesn't miss the trip."

After leaving the steel plant, Chu Yuan hurried home. The two children should have woken up by now.

If I woke up and found that she was not there, I would probably be scared.

When she opened the door, she saw Xiang Song looking around in the yard. He seemed to be relieved the moment he saw her.
