Chapter 29: Factory Trouble
"I've already eaten. I left the food in the pot for you." Jia Zhang muttered as she cleaned up, "Why don't you get food from the steel mill? The canteen at the steel mill provides subsidies for the workers."

"I'm in a hurry to come back. I don't have time to queue up for food." Qin Huairu felt aggrieved when she heard Jia Zhang's mumbling. She also wanted to eat directly at the steel rolling mill. She still had Huaihua at home.

"I think there's no need to rush. You can bring your lunch box back tomorrow. Your salary is not high, so you can save as much as possible." Jia Zhang was busy at the side. "The dishes at the steel mill should at least be smeared with some animal oil, so you don't have to cook at home."

"Okay, I'll bring the lunch box over in the afternoon." Qin Huairu thought about it and realized that this was the case. Besides, locksmithing is a physical job and one cannot do it without eating enough.

After feeding Huaihua, Qin Huairu ate her meal and went back to the factory. She still had enough time.

"Huairu, you brought the lunch box here." Chen Hong was sitting at her workstation to rest after lunch when she saw Qin Huairu walking over with a lunch box in her hand.

"Yes, Sister Hong, we still have to get our meals at the factory." Qin Huairu nodded with a smile.

"That's right. We fitters have to eat more, otherwise we won't have the energy to work." Chen Hong said with a smug look on her face, as if saying 'I was right'.

The news that Qin Huairu came to work in the factory spread from Workshop 7 to almost the entire factory in the afternoon. The arrival of a beautiful widow in the steel rolling mill was like a giant panda entering the zoo.

During lunch.

"Have you heard?" A group of people gathered around the dining table in the cafeteria, and one of them whispered mysteriously.

"What did you hear?" The person on the side was obviously not so well-informed.

"A beautiful girl has come to Workshop 7 of our factory." The gossiper was a young man who was not married yet.

"Who told you that? How beautiful is it?" Sure enough, someone in the crowd enthusiastically asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"I have a buddy in the seventh workshop." The young man was full of pride, thinking that he was well-informed. "I heard that he has watery eyes and is very attractive."

By the way, was this guy talking about a girl or a widow? The young man scratched his head and decided to just say girl.

"Oh, tell me in detail." The other person immediately became interested.

When the young man saw that he had become the focus of the crowd, he started to brag a lot.

"From what you said, why don't we see anyone coming to the cafeteria to eat?" Someone in the crowd asked in confusion.

"This..." The young man was stuck.

"You haven't seen it before." The onlookers burst into laughter. His boasting was exposed.

"What do you know? Our factory has three canteens. Who knows which one the person is in?" The young man was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

"Hahaha, he's anxious." Seeing the young man's expression, the onlookers started laughing again.

After laughing, he returned to the workshop and passed the news to other workers in the workshop.

This news immediately changed its meaning after fermenting for one afternoon.

After lunch, Li Shengli and his friends were chatting about gossip while cleaning the kitchen.

"Master, have you heard?" Liu Xikui looked around mysteriously and came close to Li Shengli.

"What?" Li Shengli looked at Liu Xikui in confusion. What did this mysterious guy want to say?

"There's a beautiful girl in our factory office. I heard she's very pretty." Liu Xikui smiled slyly. "Where did you get this news?" Li Shengli was a little amused. What had happened to this news?

"I heard about it during lunch. I heard that she's got a nice, smooth body, a big butt and is good at giving birth." Liu Xikui looked filthy.

Li Shengli was a little confused after hearing what Liu Xikui said. When did this factory start recruiting workers? Qin Huairu should be the only female worker who came in today. Could it be that someone came to the factory office when he was not aware?

"Do you have any ideas?" Li Shengli looked at Liu Xikui with amusement.

"Hehe, Master, I'm just asking around." Liu Xikui smiled shyly, as if Li Shengli had spoken of his concerns.

"Then do you know her name and which office she works in? And how do you know she works in the office?" Li Shengli said with a smile.

"I was just thinking about it. The rest are what I heard. This office worker has nothing to do with me, an apprentice in the kitchen." Liu Xikui was not annoyed. He knew what his situation was.

"I'll go out and ask around." Liu Xikui said and went out of the kitchen again.

Li Shengli put down the rag in his hand and thought for a while. He still felt that the beautiful girl Liu Xikui mentioned was Qin Huairu. After all, this rumor became a rumor after being spread.

However, Li Shengli did not intend to tell anyone. The truth will come out sooner or later, and then the faces of these people will be interesting.

Li Shengli smiled unkindly, but some people in the factory would probably be even more excited when they heard that Qin Huairu was a widow.

There were not many people in the kitchen. Most of them had gone out to chat with others. After all, the work was done.

Lee Seung-ri was sitting on a stool reading a book. Compared to going out and chatting about gossip, Lee Seung-ri preferred to read a book in his free time.

After a while, Liu Xikui came back to work. Seeing Liu Xikui's face as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, Li Shengli narrowed his eyes and put down the book in his hand.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Stop being so coy."

"Hehe, Master, I didn't find out anything else. I just heard that the girl's last name was Qin." Liu Xikui came over with a grin on his face.

The last name is Qin, that’s right, Li Shengli pinched his chin and nodded.

"I didn't want to tell you since you're so excited." Li Shengli glanced at Liu Xikui with disdain and sighed, "Jia Dongxu's wife came to the factory to take over his shift today. His wife's surname is Qin."

Liu Xikui stopped laughing after hearing this and looked at Li Shengli in disbelief.

Li Shengli sighed again and nodded to Liu Xikui with certainty.

Liu Xikui was stunned for a moment and took a long breath. It seemed that he was just shocked by the news.

I know what you mean, how can someone fall in love with someone just because of what he looks like or what his name is? If he really falls in love with someone like that, he must be really short of women.

Li Shengli didn't even look at Liu Xikui and continued reading the book.

"Xikui, if you still want to get married, it's best not to get involved with this widow." After thinking about it, Li Shengli still gave some advice, but whether he listened or not was none of his business.

"No, Master, I didn't think about it." Liu Xikui explained with a slight stammer, "I was just shocked by the news."

"Don't worry, the news will be revealed tomorrow." We should give those people who have nothing better to do some time to find out the news.
