Title: Su Yu’s Promotion Record in the ‘60s

Chapter 3 - She wouldn't do such a stupid thing even if someone threatened her with death (3)
She had no idea how it all happened or where the original owner had gone. She could only leave her new unfamiliar home by instinct, and then come to work at the factory. Along the way, she saw the streets and the slogans on the walls that were characteristic of this time period. She felt as if everything was a dream, and she didn't even know if her old memories were real or a dream. Anyway, she was sure that what was happening now was not a dream. After all, the feeling of hunger was so real... and she was tired too. The machines inside this sixties textile factory were very old, and the temperature inside the workshop was so high that she almost couldn't stand it all morning.
Ding ding ding...
The bell for work rang again, and the women inside the break room all stood up. Taking cups of water, they headed to the workshop.
"Su Yu, it's time to get back to work!"
Someone pushed Su Yu's shoulder.
Su Yu looked up and recognized that it was Zhu Lingling, her coworker. She smiled, "I'm coming."
There were many types of work inside the textile factory, and Su Yu belonged to a group of textile workers that worked the hardest in the workshop.
This kind of work was not only hard, but had no promotion opportunities. The job was like a spinning top, the kind where one had to spin non-stop for the rest of their lives.
Although she has the memory of the original owner and she can also do this job, Su Yu wasn't planning on continuing to do this kind of work for a long time. Unless she was the boss and had the benefits that came with it, she would only take a job that had easy work.
After wiping off the sweat on her face, Su Yu looked at the female workers next to her. They were all chatting as they worked. No one was paying attention to her.
She knew that these people didn't purposely exclude the original owner. They weren't close to her because the original owner usually left early and came late in order to take care of her family. In order to be able to satisfy the factory's management, when she was at work, she focused on her work and never chatted with other female workers. And so, even though she had been working at this factory for several years, she didn't have many friends to talk to.
The original owner really had worked like a dog for her family. What an extraordinary sacrifice, ah.
Su Yu smacked her lips. She wouldn't do such a stupid thing even if someone threatened her with death. Even if she were to work extremely hard for her family, she would require her family to work extremely hard for her too.

At this time, two people came out from the Su's small single room. Both of them were touching their stomachs and had miserable expressions.
Liu Mei, who had recently married into the family, frowned with dissatisfaction. "Why hasn't Older Sister come home yet? She didn't care about us this morning, and she doesn't care about us at noon."
Her husband, Su Dazhi, lowered his head. "I guess that Older Sister is angry that we want to separate from the family."
Liu Mei was immediately unhappy. "What's she angry about? You're married. How could she expect you to raise your younger siblings? This is such a small room. If they live here too, do you still want to have children in the future?!"
"But... But, this is the home that Dad and Mom left..."
"You're the eldest son, so the home should be left to you. Anyway, when Older Sister comes back at night, we'll have to hurry her. Find a day for her to move out. She's so old, and she's still not thinking of getting married. What is she still doing at home?"
Seeing that her man was still keeping his head down, she added, "And those younger siblings of yours as well. They're already so old, and they still rely on their family to support them. Your younger sister still wants to buy a skirt. In her dreams! I didn't buy anything new when I got married. Whatever. If your older sister wants to buy her clothing, she can buy it. Don't even think about giving her any money."
Su Dazhi nodded in response to the last words.
