When Fang Huilan saw Lin Qingyan asking Lin Heping for tickets, she immediately objected, glancing sideways at Lin Qingyan and saying, "What? You want to eat out? Can't the food at home kill you?"

"I'm afraid you'll poison the food, that's why I eat out."

Lin Heping glared at Fang Huilan, then agreed to Lin Qingyan without saying a word, "Okay, I'll go get it."

He went back into the house, took out two jin of grain coupons, and gave them to Lin Qingyan.

Seeing this, Lin Sisi was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth to powder.

Lin Qingyan took the grain coupons and put them in her bag. She then said, "I'm going to the countryside soon, so there's no point in keeping my job in the city. Bring me your household registration book so I can go to the factory to complete the onboarding procedures and then sell the job."

The other four were all surprised. Lin Guanghui couldn't help but curse at Lin Qingyan: "You brat, that job was meant for me, why did you sell it?"

Lin Qingyan said, "What you're saying is really funny. I'm in charge of my job, and I can sell it if I want to. If you want it, I can sell it to you."

Fang Huilan knew that she couldn't confront Lin Qingyan head-on at this point, since the job was in Lin Qingyan's hands and they would have to ask for her permission if they wanted it.

She tugged at Lin Guanghui and took the initiative to get closer to Lin Qingyan.

"Qingyan, Guanghui was rash just now. He shouldn't have spoken to you like that. Look, we're all family, and Guanghui is your younger brother. Just give the job to him."

"My brother? Give him the job? Does he even consider me his sister? Don't you even think about why I was sent to the countryside? I was forced to go by you. You secretly framed me and now you want my job. If you were in my shoes, would you have agreed to that?"

“I can agree.”

"Then you're a complete idiot, a masochist, a psychopath. I would never do what you do."

Fang Huilan: "..."

You lack martial ethics and don't play by the rules.

Not only did they refuse to give her a job, they also verbally abused her in various ways.

Lin Qingyan said, "You all know what you've done to me. You want my job? No way."

Fang Huilan gestured to Lin Heping to speak well of Lin Qingyan, but Lin Heping ignored her and turned his face away.

She then urged Lin Guanghui: "Quickly apologize to your sister, and you must treat her even better in the future."

"I."

Lin Guanghui only liked to bully Lin Qingyan. It would be harder than climbing to heaven for him to say nice things to Lin Qingyan. He turned his face away and snorted disdainfully.

Fang Huilan was anxious, but Lin Qingyan's attitude was firm, and the girl was not the same as before, so she had no other choice for the time being.

Forget it, since we already have Lin Qingyan going to the countryside, we don't need Lin Guanghui to go anymore.

That job didn't seem to be too important to them anymore.

"Guanghui, since your sister doesn't care about family ties and would rather sell her job than give it to you, then you can slowly look for other jobs."

But then she met Lin Guanghui's warning look and his whispered reminder: "Mom, but Xiao Cui probably won't wait."

Fang Huilan suddenly remembered, "Yes, yes, and Xiao Cui, the younger sister of the Revolutionary Committee cadre."

If there's an opportunity to become relatives with a member of the Revolutionary Committee, you absolutely mustn't let it slip by.

So, she shamelessly looked at Lin Qingyan again: "Qingyan, can't we discuss this job matter again?"

"I need more than just money to buy a job; I also need the necessary permits. If you have them, we can talk."

"How much for the tickets?"

Lin Qingyan doesn't yet know the price of each job at this time. The factory gave the original owner an office clerk job. She needs to go out and find out the price before coming back to offer a price to the mother and son.

"I'll let you know once I've completed the onboarding process and found out the price."

"Alright then."

Without Lin Heping needing to fetch the household registration booklet, Fang Huilan personally brought it over and handed it to Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan put her household registration booklet into her bag, and before she left, Lin Heping called her back again.

“You’ve never been to a factory before, so why don’t we go out for a meal together, and then Dad will go with you to the factory to take care of things? With Dad there, it will be easier to get things done.”

Lin Qingyan cursed him under her breath, calling him an old fox. He was afraid she would badmouth him to the factory leaders.

"Dad, I want to get some fresh air and walk around after dinner. I can't go straight to the factory. If we go together, it might make you late for work. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Alright then." But he was still worried: "Um, Qingyan, I've agreed to everything you asked for. Don't say anything bad about me when you meet the leaders."

Lin Qingyan chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Dad, I won't say anything out of line."

"...Okay, go ahead."

After Lin Qingyan left, Fang Huilan discussed with Lin Heping: "That brat wants money coupons again. Where are we going to get so many? If we don't give them to her, she'll sell her job. Your son is about to start dating the sister of a Revolutionary Committee cadre. If he loses his job, Xiao Cui will date him."

Lin Heping was somewhat excited upon hearing this.

Everyone knows what the Revolutionary Committee represents, and being able to establish connections with the people there can be of great help to one's future.

“This is indeed a rare opportunity, but I borrowed from everyone I could yesterday. By the way, doesn’t your family still owe us money? They used to make all sorts of excuses not to pay it back, and I had almost forgotten about it. If you can get it back, you can buy Guanghui a job.”

Fang Huilan used to smuggle a lot of things to her family, including the belongings left by the original owner's mother after her death. However, she used the good things herself or sold them secretly.

She hadn't originally planned to ask for the money her family had taken back, but now that there was an emergency, she had to get it back no matter what.

In another compound in Jinshi, Lu Zhengting safely escorted his retired senior officer home before taking his leave.

"Old commander, now that I've safely delivered you, it's time for me to head back."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Yes, it will.

The man got into the military jeep and drove away.

Lin Qingyan went to the state-run restaurant and bought a meat bun and a bowl of millet porridge.

At this time, the steamed bun was quite large, but she had a small appetite. After eating one steamed bun, she was almost full, and after drinking a bowl of millet porridge, she was completely full.

After finishing the meal, seeing that there weren't many people in the state-run restaurant, I sat and rested for a while before leaving.

She went outside during rush hour and saw long lines of bicycles on the road, like flowing water.

At that time, industry and technology were not very developed. Workers usually rode bicycles to work, and many walked or took public transportation. There were very few cars on the road.

She walked a short distance along the sidewalk when she suddenly heard a commotion, mixed with screams and cries for help from many people.
