Chapter 85: Who should take over?

Jiang Xinlan felt that her third brother was the luckiest person in their Jiang family. He not only had a spacious house to live in, but also had capable parents-in-law and a beautiful wife. Most importantly, his Yue Family also found him a job. He was truly a winner in life!

"Hey, Third Brother..."

"I'm here, follow me." Jiang Baocheng said, running to an aunt first, "Aunt Zhang, I'm at work. Look, this is my sister. Come on, let's go to the HR department and talk."

Aunt Zhang was startled by Jiang Baocheng's sudden appearance and rolled her eyes at him in anger, "Why are you in such a hurry? Can I still run away?"

"Hey, Aunt Zhang, you can't run away. We are so anxious. Look, my sister has been waiting for a long time with a big belly. Please be kind and let us finish this sooner or later." Jiang Baocheng said while paying attention to his surroundings. They had been waiting at the door for so long, it would attract some attention.

"Have you brought the money? We agreed that I want all the money today, not a penny less than 700." Aunt Zhang didn't seem to regret it. It didn't matter who she was selling it to, as long as she got the money. In fact, she knew that 700 was a high price, but who asked the other party to buy it!

"I've got it, let's go!" Jiang Baocheng said, and then handed a pack of cigarettes to the two people in the security room. Then he took Jiang Xinlan and the other two in blatantly.

After completing the formalities, Jiang Xinlan finally felt relieved. She held the work certificate and looked at her husband immediately, "Yitai, take a leave today and go to the village to get a certificate now, and then transfer my household registration, so that I can have food supply next month."

"Okay. I'll take you home first. Third brother, thank you so much this time." Zhao Yita couldn't speak and could only look at Jiang Baocheng with gratitude.

"Xiaolan is my sister, it's only natural for me to help her. Now that the work is done, it's also a matter of accomplishment. I'm going to work too, you guys can go back by yourselves!" Jiang Baocheng waved his hand and left.

As soon as Jiang Xinlan returned home, her mother-in-law Xu Fengni came to greet her, "How is it? Is it done?"

Jiang Xin nodded happily, "Okay, it's all done. Yitai will go back and issue me a certificate, and I can transfer my household registration to the city in the afternoon."

When Xu Fengni heard this, she waved her hands towards the sky and muttered, "Oh, God bless you. This is finally good. From now on, you will have food supply, and even the baby in your belly will have food supply."

"Mom, keep your voice down. We are not allowed to talk about this now." Jiang Xinlan looked outside again. She couldn't be superstitious about God's blessing or anything like that now.

"Oh, yes, I spoke too quickly. Well, today is a good day. Let me go and buy some delicious food to make us happy." Xu Fengni happily prepared to go back to her room to get the money.

Jiang Xinlan suddenly thought of something, "Mom, don't you have to go to work today?"

"Oh, I took half a day off. Your eldest sister-in-law went back to her parents' home, and your second sister-in-law went to get some medicine. I was worried that I would be worried about you being alone at home when you come back." Xu Fengni actually considered whether to ask her daughter-in-law's mother to come and take care of her during the confinement period. After all, she couldn't take care of her when she was at work.

"Hmm? Mom, do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Xinlan looked at her mother-in-law's conflicted expression, thinking that she must have something to say.

After organizing her words, Xu Fengni said, "Xinlan, Mom has something to discuss with you. If you are in confinement, I have to go back to work. Do you think you can ask your mother to help?"

"Will my mother come? Sure, but where will she stay?" Jiang Xinlan felt that her mother would definitely be willing to come and take care of her, but the Zhao family only had so little space, so there was no place for her to stay!"

"Let your mother live in the same room with you, and Yitai can stay in the living room." Xu Fengni had thought about it already. October was not too cold, and it was okay for her youngest son, a grown man, to sleep in the living room.

"Then I need to tell my mom in advance. Oh, mom, I can't go to work now, so I need to find someone to take my place. Who do you think is suitable?" Jiang Xinlan also thought about her brother and sister-in-law, but as I said, there was no place to live! So she could only find a place in her husband's family.

"Yes, substitute shift is a problem. We need to find someone reliable. Your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are idle at home, but who should we choose?" Xu Fengni also had a headache. No matter which one she chose, the other one would not be happy. It was really difficult.

"Mom, you, you're still at home!" Ding Li stopped outside the door with a big bag of Chinese medicine in her arms. She hid the medicine behind her back with a guilty conscience and looked at them with a smirk.

Xu Fengni frowned and said, "Xiao Li, just take the medicine. Why are you hiding it? We know it."

"Mom, hey, I'll go back to my room first." Ding Li still ran back to the room quickly with her hands behind her back.

"It's so mysterious. I hope he's not taking any folk remedies and damaging his body." Xu Fengni was a little worried.

"Mom, what did you say?" Ding Li put her things down and walked out again.

Jiang Xinlan rolled her eyes and smiled, "Second sister-in-law, mom and I were just discussing who to find to take over."

"Substitute? Substitute for what? Mom, if you want to find someone to substitute, then let me do it! I have time." Ding Li hurriedly moved to Xu Fengni's side. She was willing to do it!

Jiang Xinlan's mind perked up when she heard this. She turned to look at her mother-in-law and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, it's me. My third brother found me a job in a canning factory, but I'm about to give birth, so I need someone to take my place."

"Do you have a job? When did it happen? How much did it cost?" When Ding Li heard that Jiang Xinlan had a job, she felt uncomfortable and asked quickly.

Jiang Xinlan pursed her lips and said, "Seven hundred, I spent seven hundred, I'm a workshop worker in the cannery."

"Seven hundred~" Ding Li screamed. Did she hear it right? It was seven hundred?

Xu Fengni was also shocked by the price, "Xinlan, isn't it a little expensive? You didn't bargain?"

"Mom, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but there are still people vying for 700. You don't know how hard it is to find a job outside nowadays. Now that there is one, you should quickly take it."

Jiang Xinlan naturally knew that it was expensive, but as Xiaobai said, she had to buy it even though it was expensive, otherwise she didn't know when the next opportunity would come.

"You have so much money?" Ding Li looked at Jiang Xinlan with some suspicion, and then looked at her mother-in-law, wondering if it was the mother-in-law who subsidized the old couple? If so, she would not agree.

"Don't look at me, I didn't pay." Xu Fengni was very alert. As soon as she saw Ding Li's eyes, she knew what she was thinking and immediately retorted.

Ding Li didn't believe it. She curled her lips and said, "The third brother and his wife don't have that much money." Although she didn't know how much money the third brother and his wife had, she didn't think they could come up with 700 yuan at once.

"Second sister-in-law, you misunderstood mom. I borrowed part of the money from my third brother and I have to pay it back." Jiang Xinlan replied slowly.
