In and of itself, it was good that Miao Jing wanted to get a job to support herself.

On the contrary, Old Zhai would truly have gotten upset if Miao Jing had expressed her desire for the Zhai family to support her while she lazed around at home.

As such, Old Zhai immediately helped her make arrangements the moment she expressed her desire to find a job after her course.

With Old Zhai around, it was no trouble at all for Miao Jing to find a job with good welfare.

People who worked in factories at that time were similar to people who worked civil service jobs in the postmodern era.

Anyone who could get a job providing rations was impressive enough.

And with Old Zhai’s arrangements, Miao Jing became a person like that.

In the past, Second Auntie Miao had never liked Miao Jing and always felt that Miao Jing could never create more wealth for the family nor bring any benefits to them.

That was why she disliked Miao Jing and felt that Miao Jing was wasting their family’s food.

If someone had told Second Auntie Miao a few years ago that Miao Jing would one day become a factory worker, Second Auntie Miao would definitely have treated Miao Jing well. In fact, she would probably have treated Miao Jing only slightly worse than her own daughter, Miao Lanlan.

Hearing that the factory was willing to pay her eighty yuan with rations every month, Miao Jing was over the moon.

She had thought that it would be difficult to live in the city even though she was now literate because she was from the countryside.

But it didn’t seem that difficult, after all.

“Leader, can I ask you something?”

The leader looked at Miao Jing lovingly. This was the chief’s relative!

Even if she asked him a hundred, or even a thousand questions, he would answer them kindly with a smile, let alone just one question. “Go ahead.”

“Are there any dormitories available for workers?” What Miao Jing wanted to know was when she would be eligible for one.

A roof over a head was important to her since she didn’t have a home to return to.

“We do…” The leader was rather hesitant. “You know that we have quite a lot of people in the factory and the dormitory isn’t that big. The workers have to sleep in bunks.”

This Comrade Miao in front of him was the chief’s relative and had been living in the chief’s house.

There was no way their dormitory could compare to the chief’s house.

Would Comrade Miao be able to get used to their workers’ dormitory after living in the chief’s house?

It wouldn’t be easy to give Comrade Miao an individual room for herself either.

It would be quite troublesome if other workers in the factory were to learn of it.

But Comrade Miao would probably not request to move in now that he had told her of how average the conditions were, right?

“That’s alright. As long as there is a dormitory, that’s nothing. I’m used to sleeping in bunks. So, can I apply to live in the dormitory?”

“You can…” But Comrade Miao, shouldn’t you ask the chief for his opinion before I put in your application?

But Miao Jing didn’t even give the leader the chance to say that. “That’s good. Leader, please arrange it for me. Oh right, if you put in my application now, when will I be able to move in?”

That was great! It was indeed good to be a worker. She even had a dormitory to live in!

In this case, she wouldn’t even have to worry about having nowhere to live after moving out of the Zhai family’s house, or that she wouldn’t be able to afford the rent.

Miao Jing couldn’t even be bothered about when the factory would offer her an individual room in the workers’ dormitory.

That would come in a few years’ time. She had better solve her immediate problems first.

Now that she had solved the problem of her accommodation, Miao Jing felt relaxed and joyful.

The factory leader had never expected Miao Jing to be such an impatient person.

But Miao Jing was Old Zhai’s relative, and since she had already gotten the job, Old Zhai would probably not prevent her from staying in the workers’ dormitory.

With that thought, the leader quickly arranged a slot for Miao Jing in the workers’ dormitory.

Even up until Miao Jing received the key to the workers’ dormitory, she was still in disbelief about how everything had gone so smoothly.

She had a job and a place to live.

Because her two biggest problems had been solved, the unhappiness that Qi Minlan had caused her was no longer important.

Miao Jing couldn’t help but think about how Qi Minlan didn’t want to see her. action

Once she moved to the workers’ dormitory and Qi Minlan married Zhai Yaohui, they would never have to meet each other again. That would be great!

Now that she was moving away for sure, there was no longer the need for Qi Minlan to hate her or create any more trouble for her, right?

Upon returning to the Zhai family’s house, Miao Jing hummed as she packed her clothes in a good mood.

“Miao Miao, what’s wrong?” Grandma Zhai had heard from the auntie that Miao Jing was packing her things. She rushed up, and just as expected, that girl was indeed packing up her things. “Miao Miao, where are you going? Don’t tell me…”

That she was heading back to the village and intended to live with Second Uncle Miao’s family again?

Thinking about how Old Zhai had told her that Second Auntie Miao had tried to marry Miao Jing off to the family that could bring them the most benefits, Grandma Zhai tried her best to stop Miao Jing from acting impulsively. “Miao Miao, that was just a misunderstanding. No, what I meant to say was that I believe you. I think that you’re better than Minlan. It’s just that you’re both good ladies… No, I like you much more and I trust you more too. So, Miao Miao, don’t get upset…”

Miao Jing stopped in her actions. “Auntie, don’t worry. You’ve misunderstood the situation. I understand very well what kind of people my Second Uncle Miao’s family is. I have no intention of going back after getting out with much difficulty.”

“Then?”

Miao Jing laughed. “Didn’t Uncle Zhai help me find a job? There’s a workers’ dormitory in the factory and we have assigned beds. Look, I even received my key. I’ve decided to move to the factory so that it’ll be more convenient to get to work and concentrate on my work. Auntie, don’t overthink it.”

“You’ve taken care of me the most over the past year. Don’t worry. When I have time, I’ll definitely come back to visit you.”

Since she no longer cared about Qi Minlan, Miao Jing naturally no longer took issue with how Grandma Zhai had not believed her at that time.
