Hearing Uncle Jiang's words, Aunt Jiang immediately became unhappy. She crossed her arms over her chest in frustration, pointed at Uncle Jiang's head, and her voice was full of indignation.

"Jiang Weian, why did I fall for you in the first place? I thought you were honest and had a skill, and if we worked hard, we would definitely be able to live a good life. But look at what our life is like now?" Aunt Jiang said.

Listening to Aunt Jiang's words, Uncle Jiang seemed even more silent. He knocked his pipe against the wall again to knock out the ashes inside, and then he continued to speak.

"You said it was inconvenient to go to the factory, so I swallowed my pride and asked my eldest brother to use his connections to get me a ticket. I bought you an eight-bar sedan, which cost me most of my salary, 180 yuan. You said Hongjiao had grown up and needed to dress up, so I used every cloth coupon I had to buy clothes for you and your daughter." Uncle Jiang said.

"Now we work in two factory workshops. I make 30 yuan a month, and you make 10 yuan a month. We have everything we need. We have rice, meat and vegetables every day. We save all the money. My eldest brother pays for our family allowances, and he also arranges for us to get jobs. Isn't this the life you wanted to live before?"

Uncle Jiang looked at Aunt Jiang and his daughter and was confused. Why were their lives getting better and better, but not as good as when they were poor before?

"No! Your eldest brother did it on purpose. He is an official and his wife is the vice president of a hospital. You are his biological brother and Hongjiao is your biological daughter. He could have arranged some easier and more profitable jobs for us. And Hongjiao..." Aunt Jiang frowned, her eyes still filled with indignation and unwillingness.

"I told my eldest brother last time to arrange a job for Hongjiao in the reporting department. The job is easy and it gives you face when you talk about it. All you have to do every day is drink tea in the office, read reports, and write something. It's something that can be done just by talking, but he just won't let us Hongjiao do it. He also told Hongjiao to get a certificate first and learn something from the side." Aunt Jiang said.

"That's right. I'm not as lucky as Xia Xia. She has a father who is an official and a mother who works in a hospital. Xia Xia can get anything she wants done just by talking. She has a car to pick her up when she goes out, lives in a small Western-style house, spends dozens of dollars to get fashionable perms, and has a bunch of people flattering her. I can only serve tea and water to people." Jiang Hongjiao spoke, pursed her lips, and was quite unwilling.

㱗In her opinion, Jiang Xia is just luckier than her. She is obviously a hundred times better than Jiang Xia, so why should these things belong to Jiang Xia? Why can't she snatch them away?

"Look at Hongjiao. She didn't even finish high school and can't even use a typewriter. She wouldn't understand even if people asked her to go to the registration office! Xia Xia got in based on her own ability. The director of her registration office specifically asked for her!" Uncle Jiang sighed after listening to Aunt Jiang and Jiang Hongjiao's words.

Jiang Xia, who lived next to her room separated by a wall, looked down from her room and saw Aunt Jiang and others in the yard. Although she was a little far away and couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, she could roughly guess what the content was.

People are like this, they are always grateful for something and resentful for something else.

"Xia Xia, do you want me to ask for a few days off for the job you applied for?" Jiang's mother went upstairs and took a look at her daughter with worry in her eyes. In fact, she didn't care what her daughter did. Even if she did nothing, they could still support her at home.

"No." Jiang Xia shook her head. She had not originally planned to do this job at the newspaper, but the director of the newspaper was a good friend of her father, and the newspaper was really short of people, so she went over to take over for a while. After she fell into the water in her previous life, she stopped doing the job and gave this job to Jiang Hongjiao.

Now she has no such plan.

"Okay, then you should have a good rest. You can tell me and your dad if you have any ideas." Mother Jiang nodded and said nothing more.
