Chapter 5 In Chapter 5, Yu Jiajia seemed to be thinking of herself…

Yu Jiajia seemed to imagine the terrifying scenario of having several mentally challenged nephews and nieces, and shuddered.

Cheng Xiuying's hand, which was resting on the table, froze: "This can be hereditary???"

Yu Jiamin didn't actually overturn the table; if she had, there would have been a lot of commotion in a short time.

Looking at the fourth sister, he advised her to break up from another perspective.

I must say, it's very refreshing!

This completely changed Cheng Xiuying's perspective.

Yu Jiajia said in a deliberately profound tone, "Like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole."

Cheng Xiuying's gaze towards Lu Xiaoqing changed; there was no longer any affection. She was willing to let her daughter marry someone who wasn't very bright, but she didn't want her future grandchildren to be stupid, even if there was only a slight possibility of it!

The Yu family's children are all good at studying! They all rank in the top three in their class.

Lu Xiaoqing quickly replied, "She's just my cousin, we're not related by blood."

Cheng Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief. If they were really related by blood, they would have to separate.

Yu Jiajia: "Oh, so you admit Liu Duobao is an idiot." She looked at Yu Songqing and sneered: "I wonder if your boss and colleagues know that you want to find a mentally challenged brother-in-law for your own sister." She glanced at Lu Xiaoqing: "What benefits did your aunt's family give you to go to such lengths to introduce a crippled idiot to a partner?"

Lu Xiaoqing: ??? None of this family members are easy to fool. They are not the good younger brother and sister that Yu Songqing described. She pinched her palm hard. "Duobao just doesn't like to study. He's not stupid."

Yu Songqing was furious. "Xiaoqing, is Liu Duobao an idiot? You're lying to me?"

He genuinely didn't know about it.

A limp that's not noticeable isn't a problem, but a fool is!

Yu Songchuan rolled his eyes: "After ten years of elementary school, he's still an idiot???"

Yu Jiamin sneered, "Brother, can you really be a technician with a brain like that?"

Yu Songyan, while drinking his porridge, added fuel to the fire: "Whose first visit to their spouse's home causes such turmoil and discord among siblings? Do you want to separate the family?"

Lu Xiaoqing is a menace. No one can live a peaceful life after marrying into this family unless they separate.

He's not married yet, so he's not willing to separate from the family. Therefore, Cheng Xiaoqing shouldn't marry into the family.

Cheng Xiuying's face was grim. Indeed, it was only the first day she had come to the family home, and they were already demanding that Sanya work and marry Siya off to a fool. This almost caused the siblings to fight. Siya was the only one in the family who was easy to control; the other children were not to be trifled with. She was worried that things might escalate to the point where the family would actually separate.

She was only in her forties when her children started arguing about separating the family property, which was a huge loss of face for her.

Yu Hongding also looked down on this future daughter-in-law and directly told her to go home: "We can discuss the marriage later. It's getting late. Xiao Lu, go home first."

Lu Xiaoqing's face was extremely pale; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

The Yu brothers would benefit from the early marriage of the two Yu sisters; otherwise, where would they get a house to get married? But things didn't turn out the way she imagined.

It's not even certain whether she can marry into the family safely.

She had to change Cheng Xiuying's impression of her. She had just called her "Auntie" when Yu Jiamin grabbed her arm and saw her off, saying, "Go back before dawn. It's dangerous for a young girl to walk at night."

Yu Songqing saw her off at the door, and Cheng Xiuying's anger burned: "Does she not know the way home? You stop right there!"

Yu Jiajia continued to fan the flames: "That's my brother's heart and soul. Otherwise, would he harm his sister for his girlfriend? She's his sister now, but who knows what her brothers or parents will be like in the future. It's alright, after all, we're family. But my brother is an engineer. What if he ruins the factory's profits... we'll have to go and renovate it. I don't want our whole family to go to the Northwest to eat sand." She said hypocritically, "A virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband."

This is a big problem.

Yu Jiajia didn't really want to meddle in other people's business, but Lu Xiaoqing had already messed with her like that, so if she kept putting up with it, she'd be a complete turtle.

And she has a cheat code!!!

Yu Hongding handed the face cream and tea that Lu Xiaoqing had brought to Yu Jiajia: "Return them."

Cheng Xiuying felt a pang of heartache, but she didn't stop her. She was determined not to let Lu Xiaoqing into the house.

With the eldest son's job, he could pick any partner he wanted, right? Lu Xiaoqing doesn't even have a job, so she really wouldn't approve of a daughter-in-law like that.

Yu Jiajia ran out with her things and chased after Lu Xiaoqing to the second courtyard. Yu Songqing was comforting Lu Xiaoqing, who was wiping away tears. He seemed to be heartbroken for her. The two were very close to each other.

She tossed her things into the bicycle bed and clicked her tongue twice, saying, "Everyone's watching, so you guys should take it easy."

The neighbors were all holding bowls and looking this way.

Yu Songqing's expression changed slightly. He quickly distanced himself from Lu Xiaoqing and pushed his bicycle away.

When Yu Jiajia returned, Cheng Xiuying was looking out from under the eaves, becoming increasingly annoyed: "You've got a mouth now. Since you have a mouth, hurry up and find a job. Clean up the pots and pans, and save the leftovers for tomorrow morning."

Yu Jiajia dared not provoke the furious tigress, fearing she would be implicated and beaten by Cheng Xiuying. She quickly went inside and saw Yu Jiamin carrying a basin of water into the east room. She rushed in and saw Yu Jiamin decisively pour the water onto Yu Songqing's bed, instantly soaking the blankets and clothes.

Yu Jiajia was so envious. She not only wanted to splash water on Yu Songqing's bed, but also on Cheng Xiuying's and Yu Hongding's beds.

Yu Songyan happily ate the steamed bun while looking at it. It even had Mapo Tofu and braised pork inside. He wondered when the bun had been hidden there. He said, "Siya, you even know to investigate Liu Duobao now? You've become smarter."

Yu Jiajia: "Brother Erbao is too modest."

Yu Songyan changed his address: "Jiajia".

The nickname "Second Brother" is just too... embarrassing.

Only Yu Songchuan, with his thick skin, thinks that calling him Wubao is a way of spoiling him.

The three boys in the Yu family were all called "treasures" by Cheng Xiuying, while the girls were called "ya," making no attempt to hide their preference for boys over girls.

Yu Jiamin came out carrying a basin: "Find a job quickly. If you really can't find one, find a good partner yourself." Feeling that Yu Jiajia seemed to have figured things out, she reminded her: "It seems that we are also going to be sent to the countryside."

Yu Jiajia glanced at her third sister a few more times: "You know that?"

Yu Jiamin: "It's all speculation based on what you read in the newspapers. Believe it or not, it's up to you, but don't tell anyone. I can't help you find a job, but I can introduce you to potential partners with better prospects."

Yu Songyan: "It's not possible for others to ask our family for jobs, but it's possible for us to ask other people for jobs."

It's a secure job, you'll never have to worry about money again.

Yu Jiajia pouted: "I'm only 17 years old, what kind of person can I marry? The policy will take time to be implemented. If I work hard, I'll be able to find a job."

Yu Songyan: "Seeing how clever you are today, I'll give you a suggestion."

Yu Jiajia pressed on, "Second brother, please tell me."

Yu Songyan: "You have a real talent for cooking. If you can win Aunt Zhao's favor and she takes you on as her apprentice, you'll have a job. Aunt Zhao looks fierce, but she's a really nice person."

Aunt Zhao was the head chef at the steel rolling mill and also lived in the courtyard, occupying two rooms on the east side of the second courtyard.

Yu Jiajia retrieved the original owner's memories of Aunt Zhao.

Yu Songchuan: "Hahaha, with your clumsy tongue, how could Fourth Sister possibly win Aunt Zhao's favor? Why not let Fourth Sister go for a stroll by the reservoir? Didn't a child drown last year? I heard that one of the child's parents were both leaders. Maybe some children will go there to play this year. Then you'll be set for life. You can choose any job you want, not just one."

All of the Yu siblings can swim, and they're quite good at it.

Yu Jiajia: "You really dare to think like that..."

Gaining Aunt Zhao's favor is extremely difficult. Aunt Zhao, nicknamed Zhao the Three-Knife, is in her early forties with dark skin. She and Cheng Xiuying are known as the Black and White Duo! She once used three knives to cripple an armed spy.

The kids in the family compound were all quite timid towards her. The original owner of this body was the kind of person who would lower her head and walk around Aunt Zhao whenever she saw her, and she had absolutely no interaction with her.

It's not that no one has tried to find a job through Aunt Zhao's connections, but Aunt Zhao has turned them all away.

The difficulty is evident.

Yu Jiajia was also scared, but she couldn't care less about being scared at the moment. She thought about the feasibility. She knew how to make pastries and cakes, so maybe she could use this method to pry open the kitchen door!

Working with Aunt Zhao?

The second brother, Yu Songyan, went out to play, and the fifth brother, Yu Songchuan, went out with him. Yu Jiajia pulled the fifth brother and took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket to show him.

Yu Songchuan's eyes lit up. Although he was a bit spoiled, he still didn't have any pocket money. He could only eat candy during festivals and happy occasions. He grinned and called out affectionately, "Fourth Sister." He drew out the last syllable.

Yu Jiajia winked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and Yu Songchuan immediately understood, but he didn't want to do any work. He said in a coquettish tone, "Fourth sister, my dear fourth sister."

Yu Jiajia wasn't buying it. She tore open the candy and was about to put it in her mouth when she said, "This is the only one. Since you're not going to eat it, I'll just wash the dishes myself."

Yu Songchuan quickly went to clear the dishes.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Yu Jiajia took a bowl of water and ran into the east room. She poured another bowl of water on Yu Songqing's pillow. Her third sister hadn't poured the water evenly enough, so there wasn't any water on this side!

Looking at the pillow, which was as wet as the blanket, Yu Jiajia was very happy, but she was afraid of being seen, so she quickly left.

Yu Songchuan washed the dishes and wiped the table clean, then asked Yu Jiajia for some fruit candy.

Yu Jiajia readily gave him the fruit candy, saying, "We're the closest of friends. Next time I have something good, I'll give it back to you."

Yu Songchuan was also happy and immediately ate the fruit candy: "Fourth Sister, you must come to me again next time."

When Cheng Xiuying returned, she went to Cheng Xiuying and told her about the plan, hoping that Cheng Xiuying would provide sugar, flour and eggs.

Cheng Xiuying: "What kind of cook are you, a young girl? Zhao Wendan has been keeping her skills for half her life, would she really be willing to pass them on to a little girl like you? Do you think you can just squander the good stuff in the house? Since you're so free, come and help me wind some yarn."

As expected, she was rejected, but Yu Jiajia wasn't disappointed. She decided to find a solution herself.

Yu Songqing returned around 10 p.m. Cheng Xiuying was waiting in the main room. When she saw him come back, Cheng Xiuying said, "How could you have such bad taste? You found someone like this? Break up with her quickly, so you won't be ruined by her in the future."

Yu Songqing frowned. He had just finished coaxing Lu Xiaoqing, and now he had to coax Cheng Xiuying when he got home. He felt a headache coming on. "Mom, Xiaoqing does have some minor problems, but she is very good to me. I only want to spend my life with her."

Cheng Xiuying laughed angrily: "She's a girl with no job, no family background, and no looks. If she didn't treat you well, why would you be interested in her? With your looks, your job, and your demeanor, whoever you marry will treat you well."

Yu Songqing: "Siya has no job, no family background, and no good looks, but she cooks well, loves to work, and is gentle and kind. That's how she lives a comfortable life."

Yu Jiajia, forced to roll up a ball of yarn: ? ? ?

Anger welled up inside her, and she stood up abruptly, kicking Yu Songqing in the buttocks. "Big brother, am I gentle?"

You're blind! You actually think she's not pretty.

In her opinion, of the five siblings in the Yu family, the original owner had the best foundation!

Yu Songqing staggered from the kick, staring at Yu Jiajia with disbelief: !!

程秀英伸手就要揪郁佳佳耳朵，郁佳佳捂着耳朵逃窜：“你别打我，我就是给大哥做个示范。我温柔是怕挨揍！陆筱晴的温柔是想嫁给大哥，她那种条件，上哪儿找个大哥这样的大学生啊！”

Cheng Xiuying didn't chase after Yu Jiajia to twist her ear, thinking that Si Yatou's words, though rough, made sense.

The eldest daughter is a hot commodity in the marriage market; who wouldn't be eager to marry her? Lu Xiaoqing would naturally try to win her over.

Yu Jiajia continued, "Would a gentle and kind girl do something like marrying her fourth sister-in-law to someone who's both stupid and lame? Would a gentle and kind girl ask her third sister-in-law for a job? She's so cunning, she's even corrupted my honest and kind older brother. As for Lu Xiaoqing's character, she said she'd give all her salary to Mom and give her job to Wu Bao, I don't believe a word of it."

Yu Songchuan smacked his lips, savoring the sweetness: "Fourth Sister, you're getting more and more eloquent. Just like someone from our Yu family."

Yu Songqing was so angry her head was throbbing. She tried to persuade her, "Mom..."

Cheng Xiuying: "Break up with her quickly. If you like gentle and kind women, I'll ask a matchmaker to introduce you to one. There are plenty of gentle and kind women like Siya."

Yu Jiajia was very dissatisfied: ...Can you please not give me a ride?

Seeing that Yu Songqing remained silent, Cheng Xiuying became angry: "You guys are all going on blind dates. Other people my age are already grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Have I ever interfered with that? Now look at you, bringing all sorts of shady characters home. You're not even married yet, and you already want to be the head of the household. Do you think I'm dead?"

She launched into a long speech, and everyone was speechless.

Let's just disperse quickly.

Yu Songqing returned to the room and saw the wet bed. He stood at the door of the west room and shouted angrily, "Yu Jiamin, don't go too far! You've soaked my bed, how am I supposed to sleep?"

Yu Jiamin lay on the bed reading a book, and said cheerfully, "You're already thinking about my work? This is nothing!"

Cheng Xiuying sighed, "Jiamin, how can you be such a good younger sister?"

Yu Jiamin: "Mom, if you say one more word, I'll go to Zhaozhao's house right now."

Qin Zhaozhao is Yu Jiamin's close and wealthy best friend.

Cheng Xiuying held back her words of scolding Yu Jiamin and changed her tone, saying, "Boss, you and Wu Bao will share a night."

After Yu Jiajia finished rolling up the yarn, Cheng Xiuying finally let her go back to her room to sleep. Lying in bed, she reviewed the process of kicking Yu Songqing again, feeling that she hadn't done a good job. She should have jumped up and kicked Yu Songqing's butt! She should have at least kicked Yu Songqing down!

She opened the sign-in panel again and looked at the resources in her backpack. Although she didn't have many items yet, she couldn't help but giggle as she imagined the magnificent mountains of resources that would accumulate in the future. She felt increasingly refreshed.

Roommate Yu Jiamin: ...
