Chapter 55 Fruit Beer
Woolen spinning mill, family compound.
After Lin Yueliang got engaged to the factory director's son, the factory director's wife arranged for them to live in the staff quarters. The three-bedroom, one-living-room house was spacious and had a separate toilet and kitchen, so they didn't have to squeeze in the public kitchen to cook and go to the toilet like others.
Seeing that her daughter had been staying at home for the past few days, Lin's mother couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "You have nothing to do, why don't you go and accompany the factory director's wife?"
"Mom, I don't want to go." Lin Yueliang frowned impatiently and said irritably.
"What do you mean you don't want to go? You two are going to get married soon. Get along well with your future mother-in-law so that you won't be wronged when you get married." Lin's mother advised earnestly with the tone of someone who has experienced it.
"I didn't go there to accompany Wen Lian. She always asked me to accompany her son, saying that they should cultivate their relationship. Who would have feelings for a fool!" Lin Yueliang complained.
Her silly son just laughs foolishly and asks her to play with him.
She is a normal person, and she can't play with a fool! Accompanying him is like coaxing a child, which is tiring.
"Shh" Lin's mother subconsciously raised her hand to cover her daughter's mouth. She couldn't say such words casually. If someone heard it, this marriage would not be possible!
"You were willing, but now you don't want to do it after the engagement? I tell you this is not possible! Our family is counting on this house for your younger brother to get married!" Lin's mother warned in a low voice.
"Also, when you get married, people will give you 300 yuan as a dowry. I plan to use this money as a dowry for your brother. You have to accept it even if you don't want to!"
Lin Yueliang frowned a little deeper, "Mom, you have told me this several times, you always think about my brother in everything, why can't you think about me?
What if the child we have in the future is a fool? Then I will have to take care of two fools by myself! My second half of life will be over. "
"Why do you need to take care of them? You are marrying into the factory director's family. As long as your parents-in-law are around, you won't have a hard life in the future." Lin's mother glared at her and reminded her.
"But I don't want such a good life at all. I just want to find a normal man and have a normal child." Lin Yueliang is now to the point where she has nightmares every day. She is scared.
"Hurry up and pack yourself up and go to your future mother-in-law's house." Lin's mother said unhappily, not giving Lin Yueliang a chance to speak.
Lin Yueliang had no choice but to change her clothes and go out.
As soon as I left the family compound, I ran into a factory worker who greeted me, "Hey, Yueliang, where are you going all dressed up? Are you going to play with your man?"
Lin Yueliang cursed in dissatisfaction, "Why do you care so much about other people's business? Do you still want your salary this month? You are lazy in the factory all day long. If everyone else is like you, how can the woolen mill continue to operate?"
The worker who was inexplicably scolded turned black in the face, "Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the daughter-in-law of the factory director? Let me tell you! The one who really has the final say in the factory now is Deputy Director Xu. Everyone knows that your future father-in-law is about to be fired!"
Lin Yueliang was confused. What does that mean?
When did Deputy Director Xu appear?
Xu Muchuan? Lin Yueliang opened her mouth to ask what was going on, but her co-worker walked past her and went upstairs, cursing.
"I'm giving you some face, but you're actually breathing heavily! What the hell."
Lin Yueliang ran to the courtyard of the factory director's house in a panic. When Wen Lian saw her this time, her previous good expression was gone.
"Yueliang, Dabao is sleeping in the room, and I just happen to have something to tell you."
"Aunt, please tell me." Lin Yueliang swallowed hard. Could it be that what Wen Lian wanted to say was related to the deputy factory director?
"You told me that you were wronged in the factory last time, and I didn't investigate the reason clearly, so I avenged you!" Wen Lian said unhappily, "Xu Muchuan hasn't come to the factory for nearly half a month. As a technician in the factory, he is not in the factory. The factory's orders are not completed on time. The leaders above severely reprimanded Dabao's father and almost removed him as the factory director."
"Aunt, it must be Xu Muchuan who did it. Did he report it?" Lin Yueliang tried to throw dirty water on him and let Wen Lian hate him. Wen Lian waved her hands impatiently, "Don't worry about what happened. Anyway, there is a deputy director in the factory now, and Dabao's father has lost his real power! He is just a pretty decoration in the factory."
“……”Lin Yueliang didn’t expect this to happen. If a factory director is useless, how can he still be called a factory director?
Originally, I was attracted by the "power" of the factory director's family, but now I suddenly don't want to get married.
Wen Lian could tell what Lin Yueliang was thinking from the emotions on her face.
"Yueliang, you two should hurry up and get married. I'm still waiting to hold my grandchildren!" Wen Lian urged, "Don't worry. The position of deputy director has just been established. It's not certain how many years he can serve as deputy director."
Lin Yueliang felt a little relieved.
"Aunt, there's no rush for marriage..." Lin Yueliang wanted to delay time.
"Yueliang, you don't want to marry into our family because of the problems we've faced, do you? Actually, if you have such thoughts, I can understand. After all, my son is different from normal men. So I will take back everything I gave to your family, not a penny less."
Wen Lian said this with a slightly cold tone, "Think about it carefully, I won't force you."
Now that things have come to this, isn't this considered coercion?
Lin Yueliang forced a smile on her face, "Aunt, of course that's not what I meant. I just think that marriage only happens once in a lifetime, so of course we should take our time."
"That's the best," Wen Lian's expression softened. "Our family will never treat you unfairly. We will definitely make your wedding a grand one."
Lin Yueliang: “…” The more grand the wedding is, the more people will know about it, and the more embarrassed she will be. Everyone in the city will know that the man she married is a fool!
Wen Lian knew that this matter had to be dealt with quickly to avoid any further complications.

Cabaret.
It's two or three in the afternoon, so the store isn't too busy yet.
Li Baoliang brought the newly learned fruit beer to Shen Qingli to try, to see how it tasted? !
Shen Qingli couldn't drink it even if it was just a little bit alcoholic.
Zhao Lanmei took a small sip and found that it did not have the wheat aroma of beer, but instead had a strong sweetness. People who love sweet food will definitely like it.
"There is a difference between fruit wine and fruit beer. The alcohol content of fruit wine is a little higher than that of fruit beer. This is the fruit beer I made." Li Baoliang smiled and said, "It tastes good, right~"
"Aunt, what do you think?" Shen Qingli curled the corners of her mouth. A person's taste is not enough to explain anything. Then she will sell it in the store and see how it goes. What matters most is whether the customers like it.
"Delicious."
Zhao Lanmei said, "But people of my age don't like sweet drinks. They make my throat choke!"
