70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 227: Beans from the Rat Hole

"Stinky kid, can’t you be a little more presentable? Mumu is still here," Qin Jie helplessly glanced at her son. How could he be so foolish? How many girls would like someone like Du Yu?

Du Yu wasn’t that young anymore; he’d be eighteen in two months. In two more years, he could get married, making Qin Jie start to worry.

The meal was quite enjoyable with Du Yu clowning around occasionally, making the dining table lively.

The Du Family had extra rooms, so Xu Mumu rested there for a while before going to work with Qin Jie.

In the afternoon, work continued with sorting through these data. By the time Xu Mumu had completely organized and double-checked everything, it was nearly time to clock out.

Xu Mumu handed the new account book to Qin Jie, "Mrs. Qin, I’ve finished organizing it. Please take a look."

"Let me see." Qin Jie was a bit surprised. Previously, it took people two or three days to organize these things. Those unfamiliar with the work would take even longer.

Xu Mumu managed to get it done; her speed was quite impressive.

Qin Jie looked through the account book, becoming increasingly surprised. Xu Mumu knew all these methods, which was a pleasant surprise for her. Not bad at all.

After examining the entire report and ensuring there were no issues, Qin Jie put the documents away in her drawer.

"Mumu, could you teach the office staff this charting method? We’ll give you a bonus when we hand out salaries," Qin Jie said warmly.

"No problem, it’s quite simple." Xu Mumu’s eyes lit up at the prospect of a bonus for teaching something as simple as charting. She was delighted.

Qin Jie called all the office staff over. Xu Mumu was not shy and explained the chart and line graphs in detail. Once understood, these graphs were easy to draw, and the data appeared simpler and more straightforward.

After ensuring everyone understood, Xu Mumu wiped the sweat from her forehead. Acting as a teacher was a tough job, especially since she had to teach two people several times before they got it.

"Next time, when compiling data, use Mumu’s method. Set aside your current work and focus on reviewing this recording method," Qin Jie calmly told the office members.

"Got it, Director Qin." Everyone nodded. This method was indeed pretty good. Didn’t Xu Mumu complete in less than a day what took them two or three days?

Qin Jie was pleased with the results. Bringing Xu Mumu on board was indeed the right choice. She planned to make Xu Mumu a permanent employee soon; she was fond of her.

After work, Xu Mumu tidied up the office a bit. Qin Jie was caught off guard when she saw this.

"Mumu, we have someone to clean here. You don’t have to do it. Your home is quite far, and you don’t stay in the dormitory. You should go home early," Qin Jie said as she had almost finished her tasks and saw that Xu Mumu had tidied up the office.

"No worries, I’m almost done here," Xu Mumu replied with a smile, nimbly sweeping garbage into the trash bin.

After cleaning up, Xu Mumu shouldered her small bag and headed out of the shoe factory. Today, Qin Jie had given her a work permit, so she no longer had to wait for Du Yu to come for her to enter and exit freely.

Walking out of the shoe factory, Xu Mumu was in a great mood.

When she got home, the kids were all diligently studying, which made Xu Mumu even more satisfied.

"Mom, why is there a bag of beans at home?" In the main hall, there was a small bag of beans. Xu Mumu took a look; some beans were worm-eaten. Who knows how long they’ve been sitting there.

"Your dad dug them up from a mouse hole. He sorted out a lot of rotten ones and threw them away. These are the better ones. In a few days, we’ll grind them to make bean curd," Li Caixia said with a beaming smile. Free stuff always pleased her, and as for the worm-eaten parts, she planned to soak the beans in water to float away the bugs. They weren’t completely spoiled.

"Dad’s luck is really something," Xu Mumu clicked her tongue in wonder.

"Absolutely, only your dad noticed them while working with others. They were all quite envious," Li Caixia said proudly. When she brought the beans back, people envied her, which was the admiration she cherished. Li Caixia loved basking in others’ envious gaze.

"There are still bugs crawling inside, Mom," Xu Mumu silently took a step back, seeing lots of little bugs made her skin crawl. Is this really edible? She doubted it.

"Later I’ll soak them for a day; the bugs will float to the surface and die," Li Caixia didn’t mind at all. If it were other people, they’d probably eat them as is; after all, the bugs weren’t poisonous.

Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched; suddenly, she wasn’t looking forward to that bean curd at all.

Not bothering with it anymore, Li Caixia went to the room, and the kids started asking about work.

"Big sis, is work tiring?" Xu Jiaojiao asked, looking at Xu Mumu.

"Not really, office work isn’t hard, so you must study hard to work in an office one day," Xu Mumu smiled, serving them some inspirational chicken soup for motivation.

"What kind of work did you do?" Xu Jiaojiao was extremely curious. If she weren’t so young, she’d already want to work, feeling completely left behind by her big sister.

"Just organizing some account books," Xu Mumu explained simply, also mentioning the factory work to let them know the consequences of not working hard and avoiding manual labor.

Seeing the determination on the children’s faces, Xu Mumu was satisfied; her goal was achieved.

"Sis, how much do you earn a month?" Xu Minglei asked curiously. Unfortunately, they couldn’t earn money yet and had to do it secretly if they wanted to.

"More than twenty bucks, but I solved a small problem today, so there’s a bonus this month," Xu Mumu said cheerfully.

"Wow, big sis is amazing," Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xu Mumu with admiration.

"I want to work too," Tiedan said enviously.

"You’re too young; no one would hire you. Besides, you don’t know as much as my sister does. You’d definitely end up doing the hardest work," Xu Minglei unhesitatingly discouraged Tiedan.

Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched. Aren’t you supposed to be good brothers? Is this how you backstab each other? Is friendship really this fragile?

"Exactly, exactly, you need to be as good as big sis to earn money," Xu Tao, the second little fan boy, firmly supported his big sister.

Honestly, listening to the kids’ admiration for her every day, Xu Mumu felt a bit conceited. How could these little guys be so well-behaved?
