With a job at the cannery, Yao Tingting had more energy to work that afternoon.

That evening, somehow Aunt Zhang found out about it.

Zhang Youcai's mother returned home but didn't cook.

He grabbed Zhang Youcai by the ear and dragged him back into the house.

She was furious.

"I'm asking you, did you agree to give the job to Yao Tingting?"

Zhang Youcai nodded, looking a little confused.

He hasn't told her about this yet, so how did his mother find out?

"Mother, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet, who told you this?"

Aunt Zhang had one hand on her hip and the other grabbing Zhang Youcai's ear.

"You're such a loser, you finally got a job."

"To add some income to the family, you can decide for yourself to give the job to Yao Tingting."

"Tell me, was it that little bitch who gave you the idea?"

"Did she suggest you marry into their family?"

Zhang Youcai had no idea what his mother was talking about.

It's just a job, why are you making such a big deal out of it!

“Mother, I did agree, but you can’t say that to her.”

"She's my future wife."

Aunt Zhang clutched her chest in anger, staring at this blockhead.

This job is such a big deal, and he just gave it to me like that.

No, no!

This job was hard-won, and we absolutely can't let Yao Tingting have it!

They only have one worker in their family, so what's the point of giving him to Yao Tingting?

She angrily pointed at her son and yelled, "Get out of here! If you dare give him this job..."

“I’ll kill myself right now. Go tell her I won’t agree.”

"I think she's only after your job, otherwise why wouldn't she look for someone else?"

"If it doesn't work out, we can break off the engagement, and I'll find another girl for you."

“You’re very popular in the brigade now. I was already very unhappy about you choosing Yao Tingting.”

"Now she's trying to take advantage of your job, nothing you say will do!"

Her frantic outburst completely terrified Zhang Youcai.

"Mother, Mother, don't be angry, don't be angry."

"I wasn't thinking about the two of us getting married."

"It doesn't matter who does the job, I didn't think that much about it."

Aunt Zhang pounded her chest in anger: "No, no, I'll go find the matchmaker tomorrow and call off this marriage!"

Zhang Youcai quickly stopped her, saying, "Mother, I won't give it to you. This marriage cannot be called off."

"I'm going to marry her. I'll just give up my job, okay?"

Seeing that he had agreed, Aunt Zhang patted her bottom and went to cook.

The next day, the first thing Zhang Youcai did when he got to the field was to find Yao Tingting and explain the situation.

"Tingting, it's really not that I don't want to give it to you, it's that my mother doesn't agree."

"I don't know what to do either. Let me think of something first. What do you think?"

Yao Tingting was very angry, but she couldn't show it on her face.

Zhang Youcai continued, "Tingting, I know you're doing this so that we can have a better life in the future."

"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"

"I won't let you suffer with me."

Yao Tingting smacked her lips, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say them.

She could only nod.

"Okay! I'm going to get to work now."

She turned around and left.

His smiling face immediately turned from sunny to gloomy.

Her face looked extremely pale.

What's wrong with this old lady? She's so opposed to being given this job?

Are you afraid she'll abandon her son once she gets a job?

What was originally a wonderful mood has left her feeling uneasy because of this incident.

I feel so awful!

I didn't want to move all morning.

When she finished work, she and Huo Changlan walked home together.

When she ran into Aunt Zhang on the road, she didn't even look up, and pulled her mother home.

Aunt Zhang knew she was angry, but she was only thinking of her son.

What if Yao Tingting gets the job, but then she turns around and doesn't want Youcai anymore?

It's normal for her to be angry with herself now.

Aunt Zhang smiled and chased after him.

"My dear in-law, the vegetables you grow at home are growing very well."

"I'll have Youcai send some over later."

She chuckled awkwardly, secretly observing Yao Tingting's expression the whole time.

Yao Tingting remained expressionless throughout.

She felt uneasy and rubbed her hands together as she walked.

She looked somewhat embarrassed: "Tingting, I know you're angry with me."

"But I have no choice. We're counting on this job to bring in some extra income for our family."

“You are all members of the Huo family, so you won’t go hungry.”

"Besides, now that Huo Laosan has some ability, would he treat you, his aunt, badly?"

"Even if you have some conflicts, you're still family, aren't you?"

"Tingting wants a job, and it's just a matter of Huo Laosan saying a word?"

"If Ke Youcai loses his job, then he's truly gone."

With just a few words, she conveyed the complex and nuanced thoughts in Huo Changlan's mind.

Yao Tingting looked at Aunt Zhang, then at her mother.

She opened her mouth, looked at Aunt Zhang, but didn't say anything.

Aunt Zhang chuckled twice.

"Well, I need to hurry back and cook! I'm off."

She knew that her words were somewhat inappropriate, and she knew that Huo Changlan and his group did not get along with the Huo family.

Her words were tantamount to sowing discord.

If Li Xiangyun finds out, that shrew will beat someone up.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

What she said was true.

After she left, neither Huo Changlan nor Yao Tingting said another word.
