Old Man Xia waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Old Woman Xia's incessant chatter: "Alright, alright! Stop rambling on about this useless stuff. You've been talking for ages and haven't gotten to the point. Tell me, what exactly did Jianlin say?"

Grandma Xia was taken aback by the sudden interruption. A fishbone seemed to lodge in her throat. She pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Look, another three hundred yuan has been wired to Jianlin. We really don't have a single penny left! And Jianlin even told us to find a chance to..."

Grandma Xia made a throat-slitting gesture.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Xia, who had been looking impatient, suddenly widened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them like a candle flame suddenly lit in the darkness: "Did Jianlin really say that?"

At this moment, various thoughts were racing through his mind.

The fact that his own son said he wanted to kill Xia Jianguo, that little bastard, meant that his son had already firmly established himself on the other side.

If that's the case, wouldn't the elderly couple soon be able to enjoy a life of luxury?

Upon thinking of this, Old Man Xia's lifeless face instantly seemed to be infused with vitality, his complexion quickly turning from pale to rosy, and you could no longer see the deathly look he had before.

However, Grandma Xia, standing to the side, was completely baffled, not understanding why her husband had become so excited and agitated by those words.

Grandma Xia nodded blankly like a puppet, and replied in a dry voice, "That's right, that's what Jianlin told me. He also repeatedly told me to get rid of that person as soon as possible, and not to leave any trace. It has to be done quietly and without anyone noticing."

Just then, Old Man Xia, who had been silent all along, suddenly seemed like a different person. Not only was he no longer angry, but he even straightened his back a little more unconsciously, and his eyes revealed a hint of urgency and anticipation: "Did Jianlin mention when he would come to pick us up to go to Beijing? I've been looking forward to this day for so long!"

Grandma Xia was a little confused by the old man's sudden question. She stared at him blankly, unable to figure out how this matter could be related to taking them to Beijing.

"Go to Beijing? Jianlin didn't mention this to me. Besides, didn't he say before that some people in Beijing have doubts about our son?"

Recalling their last phone call, he could clearly sense from his son's less-than-friendly tone that he seemed to be facing some thorny problems in Beijing, which were causing him considerable distress.

Judging from this, it seems that it will be quite a long time before the couple is brought to live in the capital.

However, the old man did not agree with his wife's idea. He had a mysterious smile on his face and looked at his wife with a smug look.

"You don't understand! Jianlin repeatedly told us not to touch Xia Jianguo and not to let the other party find out anything, saying that he was afraid that if the Xia family in Beijing investigated, they might find something that would be detrimental to him."

But now that the decision has been made to quietly get rid of Xia Jianguo, it means Jianlin's situation in Beijing must have improved. Maybe they'll be able to arrange for us to be picked up soon!

Grandma Xia frowned deeply, her face full of worry. She clearly disagreed with what he said, shaking her head and retorting, "I don't think so! I always feel that our son must have encountered some difficulties, otherwise why would he ask us for money when he called last time?"

If they really established themselves, how could they possibly lack money in a family like that?

Old Man Xia looked annoyed after hearing this, glared at Old Woman Xia, and said irritably, "Can you stop saying such discouraging things? Didn't our son say before that as long as he can gain a firm foothold over there, he will take care of Xia Jianguo and then take us to Beijing to enjoy a life of luxury?"

Our son is living a life of luxury and comfort over there, how could he possibly stand by and watch his parents and brothers remain stuck in this poor, remote mountain village?

After hearing these words, Grandma Xia remained silent for a long time.

She pondered to herself, and it seemed that what her old man said made sense. So her mood gradually improved, and she was no longer as gloomy as before.

However, a new problem soon arose in her mind. She said worriedly, "What should we do now? Xia Jianguo has already moved away, and Xia Wan is still at home. How can we find a chance to contact Xia Jianguo?"

At this moment, a sinister and cunning look flashed across Old Man Xia's face. He lowered his voice and leaned close to Old Woman Xia's ear, whispering but speaking with a vicious edge, "Go find Jian Dang..."

...

The exam results from the food factory have finally been released, but only the results for ordinary worker positions have been announced first.

As everyone crowded around to check the list, Xia Wan immediately spotted her name clearly displayed on it.

Not only that, but Zheng Yawen, with whom she had a pleasant conversation that morning, was also among those listed.

Zheng Yawen was extremely excited at this moment. She held Xia Wan's hand tightly, so excited that she seemed about to jump up immediately. She shouted loudly, "Oh my, what a coincidence! Xia Wan, we both passed the exam! This is great! Even if my name isn't on the list at the branch factory, my job is definitely secure!"

Xia Wan smiled slightly upon hearing this and nodded gently, but her gaze never left the list. Instead, she carefully browsed through it from beginning to end.

After reading it all, she raised her eyebrows slightly and murmured, "Strange, the female lead didn't pass the exam?"

Standing to the side, Zheng Yawen turned to look at her with a suspicious expression and asked curiously, "Huh? What were you talking about just now?"

Xia Wan quickly shook her head, then reached out and pulled Zheng Yawen to a quieter spot, lowering her voice to say, "Yawen, to be honest, I'm actually planning to sell this job. Do you know who would need a job like this?"

Although there were countless people at the scene who failed the exam, she couldn't very well just run up to them and ask if they were willing to pay money to buy the job opportunity, could she?

I saw several people greeting Zheng Yawen just now, so asking her is definitely the right thing to do.
