Before entering the Panyu garment factory, Yan Zhenggang urged Lin Meixin to keep her mouth shut and never reveal the fact that she was married. However, Lin Meixin has never been involved in garment making work, so the foreman will be severely criticized for the first few days.
Due to the foreman’s fierce temper, coupled with the unsuitability of the environment and diet, most of the female workers are unbearable, and they have retired and plan to return to their hometowns.
Lin Meixin lives in the same dormitory with Zhang Jinhua and Zhou Fangfang. Zhang Jinhua complains angrily that the work is difficult and the foreman deceives his life. Zhou Fangfang can’t help crying because he is homesick. Give up because they are not working alone, but the pioneers of thousands of farmers in Zheng’an County.
Lao Chen learned that Lin Meixin entered the garment factory in place of Huang Atao, and insisted on repatriation, but Yan Zhenggang believed that as government representatives, they should take care of every migrant worker who has left their hometown.
If Lin Meixin is sent back home, he will definitely be unwilling. County farmers have a negative impact, let alone deprive others of the right to get rid of poverty and become rich at will. In the end, Old Chen couldn’t say that Yan Zhenggang was enough, so he decided to send a telegram to the county to discuss the follow-up arrangements.
After several days of hard practice, Lin Meixin’s sewing skills became more and more exquisite, and even asked the foreman to add four hours a day to work. She quickly became a production model in the factory, and her first month’s salary alone was more than others. An increase of dozens of dollars, so as to attract the jealousy of other female workers.
At the same time, Lin Meixin saw the same style of children’s clothing produced in their factory in the children’s clothing store. She simply bought two of them for 40 yuan and sent them back to her hometown together with her salary and letter.
Manager Li of the Security Division received the report and asked Lao Chen about Lin Meixin’s situation. After receiving the exact information, he immediately ordered the foreman to arrange for Lin Meixin to pack up and leave.
The foreman thought of Lin Meixin’s outstanding professional ability, and was a little unbearable, so he asked Thorin Meixin to confirm her singleness, and could not admit that she was married even if she was killed. Under the persuasion of the foreman, Manager Li could only compromise, and then called Lin Meixin to have a talk, explaining the responsibility for the breach of the agreement and the punishment that Yan Zhenggang would face.
Lin Meixin didn’t want to harass everyone, she was about to admit that Yan Zhenggang suddenly came with fruit, and after some conversation, Manager Li finally gave up the decision to dismiss. The female worker was unwilling to escape Lin Meixin, thinking that County Mayor Zhao would come to the factory for condolences in a few days, so she reported Lin Meixin’s marriage and childbirth in the public.
Yan Zhenggang was willing to accept the punishment, but he still kept Lin Meixin with his own efforts and successfully persuaded County Mayor Zhao and the factory director. Lin Meixin was deeply moved and worked hard in the days that followed. Two months were fleeting. However, the good times did not last long.
The factory lost a batch of children’s clothing sold to the United States. If the delivery was delayed, the United States would cancel the orders for the second half of the year. The director was furious upon hearing the news and ordered Manager Li to strictly investigate.
The female worker took the opportunity to reveal the children’s clothing in Lin Meixin’s dormitory to Manager Li. Yan Zhenggang firmly believes that Lin Meixin’s character is impossible to guard and steal. Even the factory manager is incredible, thinking that there must be a mastermind behind the scenes.
Lin Meixin was interrogated in the duty room. Yan Zhenggang wanted Lin Meixin to tell the truth. Even if it was not the case of external rumors, if the source of the children’s clothing could not be proven, the grievances could not be cleared. After repeated consideration, Lin Meixin finally confessed to Yan Zhenggang that she bought the children’s clothes with money.
