Chapter 90 A Night of Turmoil [Seeking first subscriptions and monthly votes]
The railway system these days is a job that involves a lot of hardship and exhaustion.
If this had been delayed by twenty years, it would definitely have been a great job.
But the problem is, this isn't twenty years from now!
Therefore, neither being a train conductor nor a dispatcher is a good job.
As for the railway maintenance workers, who have it even worse, their lives are filled with endless hardship and toil.
Moreover, given Shen Zhishou's situation, what kind of easy job could he possibly get once he entered the railway system? He's famous for his strength, so he'd definitely be assigned directly to the freight department to do manual labor.
The monthly salary isn't much, but the amount of work to do is definitely substantial.
Even if Wang Weizhong and Yang Zhenhua were thick-skinned, they wouldn't be able to bring themselves to say it.
They can't possibly say that Shen Zhishou is wasting his talents at the grain station and should be doing manual labor at the train station to have a better future, can they?
Unless Shen Zhishou is an idiot!
But clearly, Shen Zhishou is not a fool!
"Sis, your husband can earn a leg of lamb in a day's work!"
This wasn't a question, it was surprise!
Yu Haitang stood beside Yu Li, utterly astonished.
She estimated the weight of this lamb leg when she picked it up; it must have weighed about five or six pounds.
The price of mutton is now a little over 50 cents.
This leg of lamb is worth about two or three yuan.
The key point is that this is meat!
It's not about money!
There are plenty of people who have money but can't buy meat.
If this mutton were put on the black market at this time, it would fetch double the price, and people would still buy it.
It's expensive but there's no market for it!
It is the most important!
"Don't you even consider how late your brother-in-law got home today!"
Yu Li didn't tell her younger sister how much Shen Zhishou earned on his days off. If the girl found out, she would definitely spread the word everywhere.
In these times, everyone is struggling financially, so you have to be careful with your money.
In front of outsiders, you have to pretend to be poor.
"And also, your brother-in-law does all the heavy lifting. He's so tall, he eats a lot!"
"This lamb leg is just to nourish him a little. If your brother-in-law were to eat as much as he wanted, this one lamb leg wouldn't be enough for him!"
"You only see people eating meat, but you don't see people suffering!"
As Yu Li scolded him, she raised her hand and poked Yu Haitang.
Yu Haitang pouted, still feeling shocked.
Ignoring her, Yu Li took the knife and carefully peeled the skin off the lamb leg, then cleaned all the meat off the bone.
"Come over for noodles tomorrow morning, mutton soup noodles!"
Although the weather is getting colder, this meat still can't be kept for too long, since it hasn't snowed yet.
Once it snows and freezes, the meat will be able to be preserved.
Yu Haitang was initially a little unhappy, but upon hearing that they could have mutton soup noodles the next morning, she immediately beamed with joy and quickly helped Yu Li get ready.
Shen Zhishou naturally overheard the two sisters' whispers in the kitchen.
Shen Zhishou was very satisfied with Yu Li's words of persuasion towards Yu Haitang.
This wife is really clever; she knows how to hide her shortcomings and pretend to be poor.
Of course, what Yu Li said is also true!
If it were just a leg of lamb, Shen Zhishou wouldn't have gone to such lengths to do this odd job.
If you put in the effort, you should get something in return!
This is the natural order!
Conversely, if someone likes to make empty promises to him, then he also has some martial arts skills.
After dinner and resting for a while, Yu Li and Yu Haitang had already prepared the lamb leg, even breaking the bone, and started cooking it in a pot.
Lamb bone soup is very delicious.
Of course, some mutton was also thrown in.
Drinking soup without eating meat would be a disservice to Shen Zhishou's hard work.
However, it takes time to simmer the mutton soup to extract its essence.
If you control the amount of coal at the bottom of the stove, this pot of mutton soup can be cooked by midnight, and you can eat it the next morning after just a little heating.
Seeing that it was almost time, Yu Haitang said goodbye to Yu Li and Shen Zhishou and went to the Intermediate People's Court to find He Yushui.
"Don't forget to call the rainwater over tomorrow morning!"
"I remember!"
Faced with Yu Li's instructions, Yu Haitang didn't turn around, waved her hand casually, and replied with a single sentence.
After Haitang left, Yu Li closed the door.
Shen Zhishou also took out the money and tickets he had on him.
"You must be exhausted today!"
Seeing so much money and tickets, Yu Li knew without asking that Shen Zhishou must have put in a lot of effort.
Doing these kinds of odd jobs truly requires a lot of effort for every penny earned.
Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "It's alright, not too tiring. With my physique, I can't get tired from most kinds of work!"
That's how powerful the modified body is!
Yu Li put away the money, glanced at Shen Zhishou, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "How about you don't have to work on your days off from now on?"
"Let's take a good rest; there's always money to be made!"
"We both have jobs, and our lives as a dual-income family are so much better than other families!"
Yu Li truly felt sorry for him.
She was happy that the man was capable.
But she also felt uncomfortable because it was so hard.
Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "I'm really not tired. You know how much energy I have. For others, doing strenuous work is exhausting, but for me, it's just releasing excess energy!"
Upon hearing Shen Zhishou's words, Yu Li's expression instantly changed. She was both ashamed and angry, and she raised her hand to pinch Shen Zhishou.
When you talk to him seriously, he talks about trivial things!
Upon seeing this, Shen Zhishou simply chuckled.
He's telling the truth!
His energy is indeed excessive, and he needs an outlet for it.
Unfortunately, Yu Li is not tough enough to withstand a beating!
As for finding another one?
Shen Zhishou was always feeling uneasy, a mix of desire and fear, a classic case of having the desire but not the courage.
Yu Li put the money into her secret stash of cash and went to the kitchen to boil water for Shen Zhishou.
After a long day, Shen Zhishou would feel much better after taking a hot bath.
Shen Zhishou enjoyed Yu Li's service just like a master. Yu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with it. When a man comes home to earn money to support the family, a woman should serve him.
She didn't do much work that day; her younger sister took on most of the housework.
In the middle of the night, Yan Bugui was awakened by the aroma of mutton soup.
He had only eaten half a meal that evening, and now he was even hungrier.
Helpless, Yan Bugui thought he would get up and drink a glass of water to tide him over. But when he got to the living room, he found that his eldest and second eldest sons were there and were secretly eating the peanuts in the house.
"Yan Jiecheng!"
-
Yan Bugui was so angry that he yelled out loud.
In the dead of night, Yan Bugui's shout was like a thunderclap, waking up many residents of the courtyard.
Yan Jiecheng was startled, but was not seriously injured. However, Yan Jiefang next to him was not so lucky; a peanut blocked his trachea.
"Uh, uh, ————"
Yan Jiefang clutched the tube in his throat with both hands, fell to the ground, and struggled in agony!
"liberation!"
Yan Bugui's second cry was even more urgent and poignant than his first.
Now, the residents of the courtyard house, who had been awakened but were preparing to stay in bed, could no longer remain curled up in their blankets.
Shen Zhishou was also woken up by the noise!
He especially heard the fear and urgency in the second "Liberation," so he put on his clothes, left home, and ran towards the Yan family's house.
It's so late at night, I hope nothing really happens!
Although the Yan family in the original story was not bad except for their unfilial children, the Jia family has already gone down a different path because of Shen Zhishou's interference. It is not impossible for the Yan family to encounter some other unexpected events!
After all, Yu Li, who should have been Yan Jiecheng's wife, is now his wife!
Having stolen Old Yan's wife, Shen Zhishou felt he should be careful. If Old Yan's family encountered any trouble, he would lend a hand if he could!
