Chapter 362 Xu Damao Sends a Letter
At the home of Widow Tian in Lijia Village, the afternoon sun shines into the house through the dilapidated windows, bringing a touch of warmth to this simple room.
Widow Tian sat on the edge of the kang, holding Xu Damao's letter in her hands, and carefully reading the contents of the letter. Her brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, and her face showed a complicated expression.
In the letter, Xu Damao's handwriting was neat and powerful. He wrote: "Widow Tian, I will bring a leader from the factory to you tomorrow. I hope you can leave a good impression on him. If things go well later, you will definitely get the benefits."
Xu Damao paused, as if considering his words, and added: "If you can coax the person well, it is not impossible for you to get promoted. I will definitely help you, as long as you are obedient enough."
When Widow Tian read this, her heartbeat quickened and her face flushed. Although she had received education before, her family was in decline and her husband's family members died one after another, which made her a victim of bullying in the village.
The harassment from those scoundrels made her miserable, until she found Xu Damao as a backer, her life improved a little.
Now, Xu Damao's words made Widow Tian very excited. She knew Xu Damao's character and knew that he would not help her for no reason.
But at this moment, she couldn't care less. As long as she could get herself out of this quagmire, she was willing to pay any price.
Widow Tian folded the letter, put it on her chest, closed her eyes and thought for a moment. She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the golden wheat field outside, her heart full of expectation and determination.
She knew that this opportunity was crucial to her and she had to seize it.
So, Widow Tian began to get busy. She cleaned the house, made the bed, and even took out some clean clothes and fabrics from the bottom of the box, intending to prepare a warm place for the upcoming guests.
She also personally prepared to exchange some meat and prepare a sumptuous lunch tomorrow, hoping that these details would make the guests feel her sincerity and enthusiasm.
As night fell, Widow Tian sat on the edge of the kang, holding the letter she had read many times in her hand. A firm expression appeared on her face, as if she had seen hope for her future.
She knew that as long as she was obedient and worked hard enough, one day she would be able to get out of this quagmire and live the life she wanted.

He Yugang came home hurriedly after get off work. He walked in, took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and then sat down at the table with a hint of excitement on his face.
He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his inner excitement, then turned to Li who was busy in the kitchen and said, "Man Niang, I have good news to tell you."
When Li heard what He Yugang said, she stopped what she was doing, walked over curiously, sat opposite He Yugang, and asked, "What's the good news? You look so happy."
He Yugang smiled and began to talk about what he and Xu Damao had discussed. He spoke in detail and added his own thoughts and speculations from time to time. Li listened with great interest and nodded from time to time to show his agreement.
"Man Niang, we can use the unused bills at home to exchange for some dry goods." He Yugang said, his eyes full of anticipation.
When Li heard this, she also thought it was a good idea. She thought about it and said, "Then let's find all the tickets that we don't need and those that are about to expire and exchange them together."
After saying that, Li turned around and went to the bedroom, and began to search through the boxes and cabinets. After a while, she came back with a stack of bills and handed them to He Yugang.
"This should be enough," said Li.
He Yugang took the bill, looked at it carefully, and nodded. He raised his head, looked at Li, and asked, "Should we tell my third brother's wife and my eldest sister-in-law?"
Li thought for a moment and said, "Let's not do that for now. Let's go see what we can get in exchange. If the exchange is good, we'll tell them next time. If we tell them now and the result is not ideal, we'll disappoint them for nothing."
After listening to what Li said, He Yugang felt that she was very thoughtful, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's do it." He Yugang said.
Seeing that He Yugang agreed with her idea, Li smiled with satisfaction. She turned back to the kitchen and continued to work.
He Yugang sat at the table, full of anticipation and excitement. He imagined that he would be able to exchange for some delicious dry goods tomorrow, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
