851 For Meat
“Who knows! She might have made a decision!” another older woman said.
Everyone roared with laughter. Qiao Yu also heard their laughter and turned around to look. One of the older women quickly waved at Qiao Yu and shouted, “Qiao Yu! Who are you waiting for! If you don’t get food soon, there won’t be any dishes left!”
Qiao Yu blushed immediately and said, “I’m not waiting for anyone! Don’t spout nonsense!”
The older woman looked at the other women around her and laughed as she said, “Look, she says that she’s not waiting for anyone!”
Qiao Yu continued to let others go in front of her to get food while she just kept queuing. She was indeed waiting for Su Yang so that she could have some meat for each meal. Sometimes, Su Yang would even pay for her food.
If she saved a few cents a day, she would be able to accumulate a lot by the end of the month! She would not miss out on such a good thing and felt that it was worth it to wait for a while.
As soon as Su Yang arrived at the canteen, he saw Qiao Yu. He knew that this tramp would still be queuing up! She just wanted him to spend his money on her. It was not impossible for him to do that, but he would not do it for nothing.
“Xiao Yu, you’re still waiting for me!” Su Yang shouted loudly from the door.
Qiao Yu turned around and looked at Su Yang reproachfully. “Su Yang, be mindful. This is a public place! Who’s waiting for you! I’m here to get food!”
“Yes, yes, yes. We can’t do this in public. Let’s talk about it in private,” Su Yang said with a wicked smile.
The people around all looked at Qiao Yu. Some of them even started blowing whistles at her!
“Not even privately! No!” Qiao Yu left the canteen in exasperation with the mess tin.
It did not matter if she ate one less meal, but it would not be good if her reputation was ruined. In the future, she would still have plenty of opportunities to get Su Yang to pay for her meals!
Su Yang did not get angry when he saw Qiao Yu running away. He chuckled and said to the people around him, “This young girl is so shy! Everyone, continue eating!”
Hmph, there was no way such a tramp from the countryside could cheat him of his money!
In their eyes, Qiao Yu did not have a good background and was the type of person who did not reject favors from others. After accepting the favors, she would even say that it was the person who took the initiative to give it to her and that it had nothing to do with her.
Everyone was actually curious about how Qiao Yu managed to get into the factory, so they did not dare to offend her easily. This was also the reason why Su Yang had not made his move yet.
The entire factory already knew that Qiao Yu was illiterate. The workers in this factory had to at least graduate from junior high school, but Qiao Yu did not even go to school for a day. It was even said that she was actually hired by the factory director.
When Qiao Yu first came, it was the factory director who went personally to the entrance to greet her. The director was in charge of the welfare benefits, accommodation, staff performance and salaries of the entire factory.
If not for the fact that the factory director was a married woman, everyone would have thought that there was something going on between the two of them. Judging from Qiao Yu’s surname, she should not be the director’s relative. Someone even went to ask the director and was told that they were not relatives.
Their factory could be considered one of the biggest and most reputable state-owned factories. No one knew what kind of relationship they had that resulted in the factory director making an exception to hire her and even went to greet her personally.
In the afternoon, everyone returned to the workshop to continue working. By the time they got off work, it was already dark. Qiao Yu repeated the same trick she used at noon. If she did it a few more times, she would succeed one way or another.
Although Su Yang did not force Qiao Yu to do anything, he would still try to hold her hands and hug her waist from time to time. Qiao Yu would occasionally reject him, but most of the time, she would tacitly allow it.
After all, she wanted Su Yang to spend money on her. It was only right for her to give him some benefits.
In the past, Qiao Yu could not even get a proper meal in the village and was as thin as a bamboo pole. Now that she could eat her fill at the factory, she had put on enough weight and actually looked quite presentable.
Although she was not as beautiful as Qiao Mei, she was still an 18-year-old innocent maiden. Su Yang was not picky, he just liked young girls.
Qiao Yu did not live so frugally to save up to get married. She just wanted to buy more cosmetics and clothes to doll herself up. In the future, once she had time, she wanted to go to the Xia family’s house to pay them a visit.
Maybe she would run into Xia Zhe when he came back one day? Then she could even go up and greet him. It would be fine if she ran into Xia Wen as well! Xia Wen was also a member of the Xia family. She had no preference!
“Don’t hold on to me! Comrade Su Yang, you have to be mindful of the distance! Everyone is watching!” Qiao Yu pouted and said.
Su Yang thought that Qiao Yu was acting coquettishly with him and even said with a cheeky smile, “Xiao Yu, I’m just looking at your hands. I’m not doing anything.”
“You! No! You have to call me Qiao Yu! As if you can call me Xiao Yu!” Qiao Yu said.
“Fine, fine, fine! I won’t call you that anymore!” Su Yang said.
