Chapter 23: Interception

Yang Jinqiang came to his senses when he heard this, and glared, "Jinsheng, you did this on purpose. I told you I found a job for your sister-in-law, and you're here too. Who are you trying to fool?"

Yang Jinsheng spread his hands and said, "Brother, you are wrongly accusing me. I really came back the day before yesterday at noon. Why don't you ask the ladies downstairs? They must have seen me. I parked my bicycle downstairs just because of this."

"That's right, big brother, you can't stop us from buying a job just because you want to buy one, right? Logically speaking, my situation is much more difficult than that of big sister-in-law, and you guys are still suspicious of me. Really."

Jiang Xinbai also echoed, "Oh, we shouldn't have fallen out so early. We should have gotten the information of the person who sold the job first."

Yang Jinqiang looked very unhappy, and said forcefully: "The temporary industry cannot solve your sister-in-law's household registration problem. I don't think you need to waste that money. You should focus on your sister-in-law first."

Sun Erni couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up before her younger son lost his temper and pointed at his nose and scolded him: "Listen to yourself, is what you said reasonable? How can you decide the money in other people's pockets? You have one more mouth than others, right?"

"Mom, what do you think Jinqiang is doing? He is doing it for our family." Li Huifen was dissatisfied. Why did they bully the couple? Isn't it normal for brothers to help each other? The ignorant mother-in-law didn't help persuade the two children, but stopped them. She was really ignorant.

"What do you mean by for this family? I think it's for your own little family. You force them to do something they don't want. Go out and ask them. Is that reasonable?"

Sun Erni looked at her eldest son with disappointment. He was thinking about something else but his brother's wife's dowry money. It really ruined his ability.

Yang Jinqiang was also desperate. He kicked the corner of the table and asked with red eyes, "What can I do, Mom and Dad? I finally got this opportunity. What can I do?"

Yang Fugui looked up at his three sons. The eldest had red eyes, the second looked as if it had nothing to do with him, and the third, it was obvious at a glance that he was planning something bad.

He estimated the family's financial situation, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't accuse us of being partial. I'll give each of you three a hundred. I don't care if it's enough or not, and I don't care what you do with the money. Just don't ask me for money again, at least not before I die."

"Old man, what are you talking about? Don't mention that death, I don't want to hear it." Being old, Sun Erni can't stand hearing that word.

"That's not enough, it's only two hundred and eighty, they want five hundred and fifty..." Li Huifen was still not happy. What's the use of one hundred? Why should she divide the money among the second and third sons' families? Wouldn't it be better to just give it all to them?

"Do things according to your ability. If you are not capable enough, you should find a way yourself. I will not take care of it." Yang Fugui glared at his eldest daughter-in-law. This daughter-in-law was a real failure. She didn't act like an eldest sister-in-law at all and only cared about nitpicking.

Jiang Xinbai was very happy. Hey, if she got 100 yuan for free, plus the money from her family, she would have 360 yuan, which would be close to the job in the state-owned restaurant. Yes, that's right, she was thinking about it. It seemed that her elder brother and his wife didn't have that blessing, so she could give it a try.

Thinking of this, she looked up at her sister-in-law who looked unconvinced, and suddenly had an idea in her mind, "Sister-in-law, I have an idea here. Do you want to listen to it?"

Li Huifen rolled her eyes at Jiang Xinbai, but couldn't resist her curiosity and asked in a rough voice, "What do you want to say?"

Jiang Xinbai didn't care about her attitude, because he also had bad intentions, "Look, your money is not enough to buy a job in a state-owned restaurant, but it should be about the same as other jobs. Why don't you look for another one?" He almost mentioned the job in the textile factory canteen.

"Oh, do you think it's so easy to find a job? You're a country boy, don't you..."

"Thank you, third sister-in-law. You are right to remind me." Li Huifen was interrupted by Yang Jinqiang before she could finish her sarcastic words. He looked at Jiang Xinbai meaningfully and continued, "We need to take a good look." The word "carefully" was emphasized a lot.

Jiang Xinbai smiled slightly, "You're welcome, big brother. We are all family!"

Yang Fusheng noticed something, but he didn't intervene. It depended on their own abilities.

"Okay, let's go now, as agreed. You all keep coming back and not letting me have a peaceful day." Sun Erni stood up and grumbled.

Li Huifen also stood up and said confidently, "Mom, where's the 100 yuan Dad said? Why don't you give it to me now?"

Hearing what her eldest daughter-in-law said, Sun Erni rolled her eyes at her and said, "Hurry up and get on the road. You are in such a hurry, but you still can't afford it. You are really a debt collector."

That being said, she still took out a big stack of money from the house, handed it to the three daughters-in-law, and said unhappily: "Count it, so that you won't say I gave too little."

Jiang Xinbai knew it was not missing when she pinched the thickness. She stepped forward with a smile, hugged her mother-in-law's hand and said, "Thank you, Mom. Mom, you take a rest. I'll get you a basin of water to wash your feet. Soak your feet and relieve your fatigue."

Li Huifen couldn't stand it and muttered quietly, "Flatterer."

Sun Erni was already in a bad mood, and now she was even more upset. She squinted at her eldest daughter-in-law and said with a fake smile, "Huifen, get me a basin of water to wash my feet and bring it to my room quickly." After saying that, she turned around and went into the room.

"You, I..." Li Huifen pointed at her mother-in-law, then pointed at herself, and became angry again.

Jiang Xinbai didn't let her go either, and said with a smile: "It seems that mom still likes sister-in-law more. Look, she specifically asked sister-in-law to prepare the foot washing water. She is worthy of being the eldest sister-in-law of our Yang family. Great!" After saying that, she gave a thumbs up.

"Puchi," Su Qiuyan, who was watching the fun, couldn't help laughing and ran to her room while laughing. She was really laughing to death. Her sister-in-law's expression was too funny.

Inside the room, Yang Jinsheng watched his wife walk in with a smug look on her face, and asked with a smile, "Are you happy?"

Jiang Xinbai lay down on the bed and tilted her head to look at her husband, "Hey, do you think your brother and sister-in-law will fall for it?"

Yang Jinsheng put his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling. "Of course they will. I don't know what my eldest brother and his wife are like. They are not bad people, but they are narrow-minded. We offended them so much tonight. They must want to rob us. But they certainly can't imagine that we want to rob them too, haha."

"Keep your voice down, they're right next door." Jiang Xinbai tapped her husband gently a few times. This was the bad thing about being at home. You had to lower your voice when talking in your own room, otherwise other people would definitely hear you.

"However, we also need to ask about the job at the state-owned restaurant. It's not difficult, given my eldest brother's social circle, it should be the one two streets away, the supply and marketing cooperative we usually go to. I'll take a day off tomorrow to go and ask, and if it's suitable, we'll decide on it first to avoid being snatched away by others."

Yang Jinsheng thought that since his eldest brother knew the news, some people must also know it, so he should act early to avoid any further complications.

"You know this again?" Jiang Xinbai glanced at her husband.

"You still don't believe me? Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you." As he said that, Yang Jinsheng began to tickle Jiang Xinbai's armpits, making her giggle.

"Haha, it's so itchy. I was wrong. I will never doubt you again. Haha~"

"Bang, bang," the two were playing and heard loud knocking on the wall next door, followed by Li Huifen's shout, "Can't you let us rest? If you want to play, go out and play."
