Upon hearing this, Song Yanzhi turned around. Pei Yuchen put the things he was carrying on the table. Seeing her turn around, he turned his head and looked over, his dark eyes landing precisely on her.

I wonder what he's going to talk about this time.

Could it be that he's holding a grudge because I gave him the cold shoulder during the day?

She simply pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "Go on."

"Didn't you say you wanted to be a teacher?" Pei Yuchen asked in a low voice.

Song Yanzhi responded, not understanding why he was asking this.

"The primary school is short of an English teacher. It's fifty yuan a month. Would you like to go?"

Seeing that Song Yanzhi did not speak, he continued, "I remember that your English used to be very good, so you should be more than qualified to teach elementary school."

The primary school for children of employees was located next to the Yuhong Class; they were connected schools. Wang Xia worked there as a primary school Chinese teacher.

Pei Cuicui's mother-in-law even served as the logistics director there.

Song Yanzhi's educational background was certainly sufficient for her to teach elementary school English. In this era, there weren't many people who could speak English, and they were even harder to find.

Therefore, the salary is not low.

But she didn't expect Pei Yuchen to help her.

Although Song Yanzhi wanted to be a teacher, the competition outside was fierce, and the teaching positions in the military district's primary schools were a matter of luck. Even if there were vacancies, most of them required connections and background to get in.

This is why capable people can't find jobs, while someone like Director Zhu, who only graduated from elementary school, can become a director.

Song Yanzhi has come to terms with it now. When she hated Pei Yuchen, she wished she didn't have to take a single penny from him, so they would be even.

But now that I've come to my senses, I realize that this kind of thinking is the most foolish.

She was the one who got angry alone, and she was also the one who suffered.

Now it's Pei Yuchen who owes her, not the other way around. Since he has the ability to let her take a shortcut and easily get in, why should she compete with others outside?

Even if she gets in through her own merit, as long as there's someone who uses connections, she'll never get a chance.

Song Yanzhi understood this principle well, and naturally he would not confront others head-on for the sake of so-called face.

So she nodded without any embarrassment and said, "Okay."

Pei Yuchen was slightly taken aback.

He thought that Song Yanzhi would be unhappy if he offered to introduce her to a job.

After all, she had been introduced to a job at a textile factory, but the Pei family, taking advantage of the fact that they had introduced her, frequently caused her trouble, which made her very unhappy.

Their relationship is strained now, and she's even less willing to accept his help.

Perhaps it was because Song Yanzhi's tone of agreement was too decisive that he was momentarily taken aback.

After a short while, he pulled a bankbook out of his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "There's some money in here. Take it and take it out whenever you need it. It's not much, but it should be enough for you and the children's expenses."

Pei Yuchen has sent a lot of money back home over the years. Every month, the first thing he does when he gets his salary is to send money home. He knows that Song Yanzhi is not working and has to take care of the child. In addition to the cost of supporting his parents, he sends all of his salary back home, except for his own living expenses.

Even so, the letters sent were complaints about not having enough money.

Although Pei Yuchen was puzzled, he did not blame her.

He was indeed somewhat angry when he heard that she had given the money to her family and returned to find the kitchen nearly empty and Xiao Bao as thin as a monkey.

But Song Yanzhi clearly harbored more resentment towards him.

This, on the contrary, prevented Pei Yuchen from venting his anger.

She looked as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice.

He assumed that Song Yanzhi was unwilling to adopt the two children, which was why she was giving him the cold shoulder.

But after spending time together, I realized it wasn't because of the two children.

It's more his problem.

Pei Yuchen didn't understand at first, but when he took her to the hospital for a check-up today, he learned that she almost lost her life when she gave birth to Xiaobao.

Only then did I realize how wronged Song Yanzhi really was.

Song Yanzhi was somewhat surprised, "Give it to me? Are you sure?"

He never asked her for his bankbook in his past life.

It was as if they were wary of her.

Not long after the male protagonist's biological mother entered the house, the man handed her his bankbook for safekeeping and told her to spend it as she pleased.

God knows how heartbroken and resentful Song Yanzhi felt when she saw this plot.

She had been with him day and night for over ten years, yet she had never gained a shred of his trust, not even as much as the male protagonist's own mother, whom he had been married to for only a few months.

They were somewhat taken aback at this moment.

I don't quite understand what happened to Pei Yuchen in this life.

In her past life, she had cared for him and looked after him with tenderness and concern, striving to be a dutiful wife and loving mother, yet he was unwilling to even glance at her.

Now that I'm completely indifferent to him and ignore him, he's taking the initiative to come closer to me.

Are all men really just cheap?

When Song Yanzhi thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Pei Yuchen looked at her with a surprised expression, as if this were something extremely rare.

He paused, then nodded slightly: "I don't spend much money outside, but you spend a lot at home, so it's only right that I give it to you."

Song Yanzhi reached out and took it, opened it and glanced at it; it was only a little over a thousand, not much.

He has been in the west for five years now, sending money home every month. Song Yanzhi doesn't know how much, and she doesn't dare ask Wang Yanmei because Wang Yanmei won't tell her either. Occasionally, she'll slip her five or six yuan to help her save money.

When Song Yanzhi ran out of money, she would sometimes ask Pei Yuchen if he had sent money home, and Wang Yanmei would give her a cold shoulder.

Over time, she became afraid and preferred to use her own money rather than go to their place and cause trouble.
