When Yang Shuying suddenly appeared, everyone smiled awkwardly and stopped talking about it.

Yang Shuying was angry. "If you have something to say, just say it openly. What kind of skill is it to gossip behind people's backs?"

Everyone fell silent.

Zhang Xiangrui rolled her eyes at her, "Oh, you have quite a temper. You did such a disgraceful thing, and you can't stand it when others say a few words about it."

Zhang Xiangrui is the village chief's wife.

Because of this relationship, she wasn't afraid of not being flattered and always said whatever she wanted.

In the past, Yang Shuying probably would have let it go.

But today, because the village chief humiliated her so much, she couldn't stand it and said, "No matter how dishonorable what I did was, it's nothing compared to what you did."

What's wrong with me?

"Are you proud of the disgusting things you and your father-in-law did?"

One sentence made Zhang Xiangrui turn green with embarrassment.

The others were momentarily speechless.

Of course, they knew about this.

But who would dare to bring up such a sensitive topic?

Yang Shuying has really gone mad.

Zhang Xiangrui suddenly stood up, lunged at Yang Shuying and grabbed her hair, "You filthy bitch, you're just making things up for yourself, I'll teach you to talk nonsense."

Yang Shuying was no pushover either, especially since she was tall and strong, she also grabbed Zhang Xiangrui's hair.

The two women then began to wrestle and fight.

The other women quickly broke up the fight.

However, they were all just there to watch the show, and their actions were somewhat pretentious.

"Mom, Mom, stop!"

As soon as Jiang Yonggui entered the village, he heard his mother's voice. He quickly walked over and forcefully pulled them apart.

The others also took the opportunity to pull Zhang Xiangrui away.

"Yonggui, you're back just in time. Tell your dad to shut your mom up. If she talks nonsense again, I'll tear her mouth apart."

Yang Shuying retorted, "You're so promiscuous that you can't even keep your legs closed, what right do you have to say that? You'd better tear my mouth apart, or I'll tell you every time I see you."

Zhang Xiangrui was so angry she almost fainted.

Jiang Yonggui tugged at his mother and whispered, "Mom, what are you saying? Let's go home quickly."

Yang Shuying then went back, grumbling and cursing.

As soon as she entered the door, she remembered to ask the important question: "Yonggui, why did you suddenly come back? I was just about to call and ask you if Qiaoling had come to see you."

Yang Yonggui plopped down on the steps and said dejectedly, "She's in the county town. I found her a job as a waitress in a restaurant, and I'm letting her stay there for a while."

"Thank God." Yang Shuying breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that her son didn't look well, Yang Shuying asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Yonggui sighed, "I've been fired."

Jiang Yonggui's words made Yang Shuying's heart sink again: "Expelled? Why?"

"Isn't it all because of you? You all know that I got this job through my uncle's connections. Now that my uncle is in trouble, all the people who used to be close to him are cutting ties with him. I hadn't even finished my probation period yet, and I was fired right away."

Jiang Qiutang, who had just closed his eyes to take a few minutes to sleep, opened them and let out a long sigh.

"Is there no law anymore?" Yang Shuying said, hands on her hips. "That Director He from the machinery factory took our money back then. He patted his chest and guaranteed that we would be promoted. Now he's firing you. Make him return the 200 yuan."

"Then you go and ask for it if you dare."

Yang Shuying's face was already a little swollen, but now it seemed even more swollen from anger. "How can you be so useless? You just left after being fired? Don't you know you should stay and demand compensation? No wonder you can't get a permanent position."

"I wasn't promoted to a permanent position because I didn't work enough hours, which didn't meet the requirements."

"Rules are made by people. If you were flexible enough and flattered the leaders more, you would have been promoted long ago. It's a waste of money."

Jiang Yonggui didn't want to hear any of this, so he turned around and went to his room.

Since Jiang Xuan left, the house has not been locked.

Moreover, as Jiang Yonggui's new house, it has also been newly renovated.

He lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) without even taking off his shoes.

He was very irritable.

But it wasn't the frustrating job itself, but rather the impact of losing his job that frustrated him.

The biggest impact is on marriage.

After he entered the machinery factory, he got engaged to Wu Li from the neighboring Willow Village. He originally planned to get married soon, but because his grandfather passed away, he, as the eldest grandson, had to observe 100 days of mourning, so the marriage was delayed.

Wu Liren is quite good-looking and has no shortage of suitors.

Jiang Yonggui looks a bit like her mother; she is of medium height and build.

Not outstanding at all.

The main reason the Wu family chose him was because he had a powerful uncle and a good job.

These days, government agencies are all highly competitive, so it's not easy to find a job.

If the Wu family knew he had nothing left, they would never marry him.

Jiang Yonggui turned over irritably.

Jiang Qiaoyun was also very irritable while staying in her room.

She overheard her mother's and brother's conversation.

She really couldn't understand what was wrong with their family.

Why is everything going wrong?

Did her mother offend some deity?

Yang Shuying went into her son's room. "Forget it, let's just consider it 200 yuan to buy a coffin for his mother. Go to the train station later and buy two tickets to Ningzhou."

Jiang Yonggui asked in a muffled voice, "What are we going to Ningzhou for?"

Yang Shuying sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking mysterious: "Mom has found you a new job at the provincial machinery factory."

Jiang Yonggui sat up abruptly and said irritably, "Mom, that's enough, stop joking around. I'm already annoyed enough, let me sleep for a while."

“Are you kidding me? It’s true. I was planning to take you there a few days ago, but then this happened to your dad, so I didn’t have time to tell you.”

"How is that possible? Where did you get the connections to find me a job?"

Jiang Yonggui went back to sleep.

"Oh dear, I asked the Lu family for help. But Lu Shengye's stepmother is quite nice. She went to the factory director on the spot to confirm and reserved a spot for you."

"Is it true?" Jiang Yonggui still didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you? But they said you'd better bring a letter of recommendation. Can you go to the factory and find someone to help you get one?"

His mother is barely literate, so she definitely wouldn't understand these things.

This sounds like it might actually be true.

But he'd already been fired, so where was he going to find someone to get a recommendation letter?

“It’s definitely impossible to get it now. The people in the factory treat me like I’m a plague,” he said irritably. “Mom, if you ask me, you shouldn’t have done this for Qiaoyun in the first place. She’s never been cut out for studying.”

Before Yang Shuying could speak, Jiang Qiaoyun stormed in angrily and shouted, "Jiang Yonggui, you've gone too far! I'm not cut out for studying, but you're cut out for working!"
