On the third day of the new year, Yu Xiaolian sent a carriage to take Sun Mansheng and Mrs. Gao to the Red Sausage Factory.
Before they left, Yu Xiaolian bluntly laid out the harsh truth, telling Mrs. Gao that her treatment would be the same as other female workers in the factory, with no special care given. She would receive ten coins a day and two meals a day.
If Mrs. Gao was unwilling, she could choose not to go.
Mrs. Gao truly did not expect Yu Xiaolian to not give her special treatment. On the carriage to the Red Sausage Factory, Mrs. Gao pondered and finally identified the root of the problem.
"Your sister Xiaolian's family is big and prosperous, and we're her relatives. She wouldn't be so stingy with us. It must be your third sister who instigated this in between. That Manyue, truly... sigh, she really hates me!" Mrs. Gao complained to her son.
Sun Mansheng was also feeling very down. He didn't fear hard work; he feared that there would be no hope for their future.
