Chapter 477 The 4 Yuan Rent
Xiao Fen and Qin Min, who were standing to the side, were both stunned and wide-eyed.
Did they hear that right? 30 job openings! The machine factory suddenly has 30 job openings!
Didn't they say that Xu Sui's machinery factory was just a small factory? And if they remembered correctly, Xu Sui had only graduated about a year ago.
For a small factory to be able to recruit so many workers at once is much more impressive than the machine factory back home.
The machinery factory in their hometown is a small to medium-sized factory with several hundred employees, but each time they recruit, they can only hire a maximum of about 10 people.
Even so, it was already considered the factory that hired the most people in their hometown, and the machinery factory had better benefits, so everyone liked to flock to the machinery factory.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fen glanced at Xu Sui, who was instructing her assistant on the number of employees to be recruited, and then turned to Qin Min and whispered:
"How about this, we'll talk to your sister-in-law later and ask her to arrange for you to go to the machine factory and me to go to the textile factory. We'll split up, so that we can look after each other if anything happens in the future."
The old lady said, "You can't put all your eggs in one basket; you have to have a way out no matter what you do."
The textile factory hasn't been built at all; there's just a site under construction, and like all the other equipment, it's not there yet.
Xiao Fen definitely believed in Xu Sui. Since he dared to bring them to Lanshan County, he must be confident that he could set up the textile factory.
However, setting up a factory is not something that can be done overnight; it requires time, connections, and resources.
No matter how capable Xu Sui is, her expertise is not in textiles, but in machinery.
In short, Xiao Fen favored the machinery factory over the textile factory, and what she just witnessed only confirmed her opinion.
"Okay, I'll talk to my sister-in-law about it later and see if it can be done. If it can, I'll go to the machine factory."
Qin Min wasn't stupid. He knew that places like textile factories were more suitable for women, and he, a grown man, preferred places like machine factories.
Back in his hometown, he was a temporary lumberjack, doing all kinds of manual labor. He had plenty of strength, and the machine factory was exactly the kind of place that needed it.
On the other side, Xu Sui had already told Ma Honghua almost everything.
As the matchmaker, Ma Honghua enthusiastically offered to take them to see the house.
This house actually belongs to her family; otherwise, even though she is a local, she might not be able to find a suitable house in a short time.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the apartment first. Just so you know, it's not a big apartment, it's about 10 square meters, but it should be fine for your family of three."
"As for the kitchen, you can set up a stove at the entrance. The toilet is a public toilet, located in the courtyard. It's about a few minutes' walk away."
"If you have children at home and it's inconvenient for them to get up at night, you can prepare a potty and just remember to empty it every morning."
"It's good, it's good, it's enough." Xiao Fen and Qin Min were already very satisfied when they heard that it was ten square meters.
These days, every family is a large household, crammed into a small room of a few dozen square meters. If a couple can have a few square meters of their own space, that's already considered pretty good, let alone ten square meters.
We arrived at our destination quickly.
This is an old, dilapidated courtyard. The inside is also dilapidated, and the roads are full of potholes.
Xu Sui led Xiao Fen and the others, following behind Ma Honghua as they went inside.
Because it had just rained this morning, the road wasn't dry yet. I had only walked a few steps when my feet were already covered in yellow mud.
The air was filled with the smell of dirt and dust, which was not very pleasant.
Some of the walls here are already cracked, and quite a few people live in this large courtyard; you can see people everywhere you go.
Perhaps it was because a few unfamiliar faces had suddenly appeared in the courtyard that the men, women, and children came out and stared at Xu Sui and the others with curiosity.
Some people recognized Ma Honghua and greeted her, even smiling and coming closer.
"Honghua, you're finally back. I think your house has been sitting empty and wasting time. How about this, your brother Jianguo is getting married soon, let them go and look after the house for you."
Seeing this, the others also came over, all talking at once, wanting to take over Ma Honghua's house.
"Honghua, don't listen to your Aunt Liu, she's just trying to rip you off. But I'm different. I'll pay, I'll give you a discount, one yuan a month to rent the house to me, how about that?"
Ma Honghua's face immediately darkened, and she coldly refused without hesitation.
"Excuse me, ladies, these are my distant relatives, and I need them to live in this house."
These people, one by one, really think she's a fool.
Her room is a single room, a 10-square-meter room, and it's in the county town. Although it's a bit run-down, she can at least rent it out for 5 yuan a month.
Such a big house is hard to find even with a lantern, and Xiao Fen really likes it.
She quickly stepped forward, took Ma Honghua's hand, and smiled at the people around her, declaring the house a commitment.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Fen, and I am Honghua's distant cousin. This is my husband, and this is my daughter. From now on, the three of us will live there, and we hope that all of you neighbors will take good care of us."
Those people realized they couldn't gain any advantage, and seeing that Xu Sui was dressed quite well, they knew she wasn't an ordinary person.
Xiao Fen and the others were dressed well, which told me they weren't people to be trifled with.
And judging from their demeanor, they weren't planning to offend anyone since they were going to be neighbors, so they smiled and left.
Before long, Ma Honghua led them to the 10-square-meter single room.
To be honest, it was really dilapidated and old. When you went in, there was a strong smell of dust, a lot of cobwebs, and even cockroaches. There were mold spots on the walls and a musty, rotten smell.
The person who was directly choked couldn't help but cough.
Xu Sui instinctively covered her mouth and nose.
Baozhu choked so badly that her nose was running and her eyes were red. Tears were streaming down her face. Xiao Fen felt so sorry for her that she quickly took the child outside and asked Qin Min to watch the child from outside.
Only after she finished all that did she return to continue looking at houses.
Ma Honghua didn't lie to them. She explained the condition of the house to them before they came, because the house hadn't been lived in for many years and was quite dilapidated and old.
The only good thing is that the room has good natural light, with a dedicated window, and the 10-square-meter room isn't small. Most importantly, the rent is very affordable because it's a friend's place, and I only need to pay four yuan a month.
