"I have a job here, would you like to do it?"

Seeing that his brother-in-law didn't want to smoke, Zhang Zhonghua took out one himself, lit it with a match, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then asked in a muffled voice.

Ning An was taken aback when she heard him say that.

Then, thinking about his current situation, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"What kind of work?"

Zhang Zhonghua glanced at him and then said, "You know where I am, a slaughterhouse, where many people want to eat meat."

Even if there's no meat, pig's blood and offal will do.

However, I have work to do and I definitely can't leave.

If you'd like, you can deliver the items that others have ordered to them.

When the time comes, you'll get a share of the money.

Although it wasn't much money, at least it wouldn't let anyone starve.

As he said this, he glanced at the children playing outside with his two kids.

Look how thin those kids are, they're practically unrecognizable.

Hearing Zhang Zhonghua say that, Ning An couldn't help but glance at the children as well.

My brother-in-law made it sound simple, but the truth is definitely not that simple.

But no matter how difficult it is, at least there is income, and that's the key point.

Our family is so poor we can't even afford to eat. If we don't find a way to earn some money soon, the whole family will starve to death.

Ning An gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, brother-in-law, I'll work for you, as long as I can support the family."

Upon hearing his brother-in-law's words, Zhang Zhonghua's fleshy face twitched, and he reached out to pat his brother's shoulder before flicking away the ash from his cigarette.

"Then come to my house tomorrow, and I'll tell you what to do then."

After her daughter and son-in-law left home, Ning's mother heard from her son that her son-in-law had found him a job.

Ning An hesitated and didn't clearly explain what kind of work she was going to do, but her mother was quite happy.

Yang Meizi was not as optimistic as Ning's mother when she heard her husband's words.

When night fell, the two of them slept in the same bed.

Seeing that the children were asleep, Yang Meizi nudged her husband, who was still awake, looking up at the sky in the darkness.

"Honey, what exactly did your brother-in-law ask you to do? Why haven't you given me any explanation?"

Ning An didn't want his wife to worry, so he simply replied in a low voice, "I work as an assistant at the slaughterhouse."

Helping to deliver those things is also a form of assistance!

Hearing her husband say this, Yang Meizi still felt terrified and uneasy.

However, with my brother-in-law around, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

If her husband does a good job and takes the children with him to the county town, that would be even better.

Even my sister-in-law could tell that marrying a city person could make me a city person too.

From now on, we won't have to worry about food or drink, and we won't have to toil in the fields for food anymore.

Ning's mother was on the other side, and she wasn't asleep either.

Her youngest daughter's visit today has stirred up a flood of emotions within her.

Thinking about my younger daughter inevitably brings to mind my older daughter.

After all, she was his own flesh and blood; selling his eldest daughter was a last resort at the time.

Just like my family now, we're so poor we don't have enough to eat.

If we sell her, everyone can survive, right?

If only the eldest daughter could be as understanding as the youngest.

They are sisters, so their temperaments shouldn't be too bad.

Thinking of this, Ning's mother felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

How about we go and take a look at Xishan Village tomorrow?

Regardless, it would be good to go and see if she's doing well.

I was supposed to go back to my parents' home today. If my eldest daughter could come back too, and the whole family could be reunited, how wonderful that would be?
