"Yes, Mom, if you don't give me your job, then you can talk to my uncle-in-law. He has a lot of work in the Xiang family. Can't you find one for me?"
When Hu Guangzong heard his aunt say this, he immediately spoke with a nonchalant tone, as if the job was wholesaled from the Xiang family.
He thought of his two cousins who had gotten two jobs from the Xiang family and were now working in the match factory for the first half of the year. His stepmother was really something. She couldn't even bear to ask his aunt for 400 yuan?
He is the only male in the family!
If you make him angry, he will treat Hu Maner as if she doesn't exist after she gets married!
Wang Chunyan has worked in a department store for many years, so naturally she has more than just a fixed salary and some gray income. But why should she use it to support her stepson?
She insisted that her family had no money: "My monthly income is only 50 yuan, and I have five people in my family to feed, drink, defecate, and socialize with. Which of these things doesn't cost money? You talk nicely and you can get a job just by talking, but where will I get 400 yuan from?"
Wang Chunting's fiancé Xiang Liguo has a job opportunity at home, but would he give it to the Hu family for free?
It definitely costs money to buy it!
The idea of staying in the city through marriage is unlikely to work because the Hu family has a bad reputation.
The couple has jobs, so they can let their two children take over. At least one of the three children has to go to the countryside.
If Wang Chunyan were to choose, it would definitely be either Hu Guangzong or Hu Lian'er who would go to the countryside. As for her job, it would be left to her biological daughter Hu Man'er.
This is what the family fights about.
Hu Xiangnan said it nicely: "Guangzong is getting older, almost 16, and he's going to the countryside. As a mother, if you give him the job, he will definitely remember you for the rest of his life."
Who doesn't know his little plan?
Wang Chunyan's job was given to Hu Guangzong, Hu Xiangnan's job was given to Hu Lian'er, what should we do when it's Hu Man'er's turn?
Either he had to go to the countryside honestly, or Wang Chunyan had to pay for a job for Hu Maner.
It was impossible to rely on Hu Guangzong and Hu Lian'er. The three children were too close in age. Hu Man'er was 16 years old, and the two older ones were almost 20 years old. It would cost a lot of money to arrange a wedding.
Well, the step-son and step-daughter have jobs and stay in the city to get married happily, while your own biological daughter is looking for a job everywhere or going to the countryside. Which lunatic would do such a thing?
Wang Chunyan ignored his exaggerated assurances and the two started fighting.
Mrs. Hu was also in a dilemma. Even an honest judge could not settle family disputes, not to mention that she was just an ordinary woman. She had no idea how to deal with the conflict between her stepchildren and stepmother.
She could only persuade Wang Chunyan: "If you don't have money, borrow some first. Think about it, sister-in-law. Guangzong is the only boy in your family. He can't stand the hardship of going to the countryside. Wait until he gets a job and uses his salary to pay off the debt."
Most people do this. If they can't come up with the money, they borrow it. They leave their children in the city first. It will be much easier to find a partner once they have a job. After marriage, the couple will pay off the debt together.
This method is not impossible.
Compared to when Wang Chunyan worked for Hu Guangzong before, Wang Chunyan naturally prefers to borrow money to buy a job.
Hu Guangzong was about to jump up and object. Why should he pay off the family debt? As the only son, all the family assets belong to him. Why should the two old guys pay off the debt?
He was held down by his father Hu Xiangnan.
Hu Xiangnan and Wang Chunyan have been married for many years, and it can be seen that she has been considering this compromise. If he continues to make trouble at this time, Wang Chunyan will be so angry that she will take her own life.
Seeing Wang Chunyan's hesitation, Mrs. Hu struck while the iron was hot: "Think about it, let the second son go out and borrow some, and you can also borrow some from your parents, isn't that a good idea?"
Wang Chunyan doesn't want to borrow money from her parents for her stepson's job. Her mother Ming Erni is even willing to spend some money for her granddaughter Hu Maner. What kind of relative is Hu Guangzong?
She weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and finally agreed reluctantly: "Okay, let's do as my sister-in-law says. Hu Xiangnan, go borrow money from outside. If you borrow 300, I will buy a job for Guangzong."
"How could there be only one hundred yuan at home? Where's the money?" Hu Xiangnan was anxious.
Wang Chunyan crossed her arms and said coldly, "Only a hundred? Renting a house and buying furniture is free? Are these three kids going to be raised in poverty?"
His family has many people, so it is impossible for them to rent a single room for a couple. The current house requires a deposit of one and three months' rent, which is ten yuan a month, which is not a small expense.
As for applying for a house, that is something that seems to be far away and no one knows when it will be their turn.
Seeing that things were about to break down again, Mrs. Hu helplessly went to persuade Hu Xiangnan: "Second brother, it's okay. Ask the factory for an advance on your salary, and then borrow some money from your fellow workers. Try your best to borrow it first."
Generally speaking, Hu Xiangnan's salary was 35 yuan. The factory could approve him a three-month salary advance, and with the contribution from his fellow workers, he could make up one or two hundred yuan.
Hu Xiangnan thought about it and nodded in agreement: "I'll go borrow it, Chunyan, you also help a little. At the end of the month, let's go back to my mother-in-law's house and visit my younger sister."
Cram at the last minute.
Wang Chunyan spat at him and said angrily, "Chun Ting will definitely be married in October. You might as well think about what to add to your makeup."
Buying a job requires you to do favors, otherwise people will ask you about job opportunities for nothing?
Boss Hu traded his house for a job, which meant he lost 300 yuan, but it was already considered a favor.
Hu Xiangnan scratched his head: "How should I know about the affairs between you women? Oh, I don't care if you worry about it. I'm going to borrow money."
He never cared about trivial matters at home. After all, Hu Guangzong was the only son, so he had to get the work done. As for the rest, that was all the concern of his daughter-in-law.
Wang Chunyan said in a cold tone: "Come back! You are going out in such a disheveled state that you will be laughed at by others. Change your clothes and tidy yourself up before going out."
Fighting between husband and wife is a family matter. You can't just go out and let other families eat while joking about the Hu family, right?
Hu Xiangnan was flexible and nodded before going into the room to tidy himself up.
The kids are about to get married, and middle-aged couples don’t care about face anymore, they only care about interests.
