Chapter 191 Job Stolen

Dong Xiangxiang had been following Jiang Qiubai all day, and she was exhausted from walking all the way from the tenement to the main courtyard. She was full of resentment and cursed Jiang Qiubai a hundred and eighty times.

That's right, Dong Xiangxiang wanted to follow behind and steal the job. Both of them graduated from junior high school, and her younger brother could do the same job as Jiang Qiubai.

Although Dong Xiangxiang behaved very obediently after marrying into the Ren family, she never forgot her mission—to help her family and bring her younger siblings to the city.

My mother-in-law and all those people in the compound look down on her just because they're from the countryside. Wait until her younger brother finds a job in the city, then let's see if they still dare to look down on her!

Before coming to the city with Guan Ailian, her mother held her hand and wiped away her tears, saying that life at home was hard and that she should not forget to help her younger siblings after she got married. Dong Xiangxiang felt very bad and kept this scene in her heart.

Since marrying into the Ren family, Dong Xiangxiang has been looking for opportunities to find jobs for her younger brother and sister-in-law. However, her mother-in-law and husband do not have a good impression of her, so Dong Xiangxiang dares not make any rash moves or make any demands. She only thought that she would wait until she had given birth to her son and gained a foothold before trying to find a job. Unexpectedly, she encountered the matter of Jiang Qiubai looking for a job.

Actually, she didn't think Jiang Qiubai, a housewife with no connections and low education, could find a job, but just in case, she still came along.

What if?

Dong Xiangxiang thought that if there really was a job opening, she couldn't let Jiang Qiubai get away with it.

Who would have thought that this little bitch would actually have such good luck, with a job falling from the sky for her!

Dong Xiangxiang was both pleasantly surprised and furious. Why was Jiang Qiubai so lucky that he could find a job after only a few days of wandering around outside?

She didn't believe Jiang Qiubai could have any good intentions. This bitch must have saved the old man because she thought he was well-dressed and there was something to gain from him!

It has to be said that Dong Xiangxiang was right in some ways.

But she has no idea about that now.

Seeing Jiang Qiubai leave the hospital with a sullen face after parting ways with the well-dressed middle-aged woman, Dong Xiangxiang rolled her eyes and followed him.

...

Now let's talk about Jiang Qiubai. Jiang Qiubai was only slightly surprised when she found out that she had a job. However, she was dissatisfied when she found out that it was just a temporary job. But even if she was stupid, she knew that she couldn't show her dissatisfaction in front of others. She happily agreed, but as soon as the person left, she turned around and her face darkened.

Humans are always greedy. When they are unemployed, they think that as long as they have a job, even a temporary one, they will have an income. But when a temporary job actually falls into their laps, they complain that it is not a permanent job.

Jiang Qiubai was in this state of mind. He had the letter of introduction given to him by the middle-aged woman in his pocket, but he was complaining in his heart about why she didn't just give him a formal job.

Remembering the wool coat the woman was wearing, Jiang Qiubai's eyes flickered. No, she still couldn't afford to ruin her relationship with that person.

This family is clearly not ordinary. I've finally made contact with them, so I can't lose touch with them. I should come here often in the future; who knows, I might be able to get this temporary worker in the state-run restaurant's kitchen a permanent position.

Suddenly, a person came out of the alley ahead and blocked her way.

She held her belly and stared at Jiang Qiubai with a half-smile. "Oh, isn't this Sister Qiubai from our courtyard? Where have you been?"

Upon seeing who it was, Jiang Qiubai frowned and spoke with an air of superiority, "Dong Xiangxiang, what does it matter to you where I go? Besides, what are you doing here instead of staying at home when you're heavily pregnant? Do you even know where this is?" His tone was lecturing and extremely impolite.

Ever since she had that relationship with Ren Yongsheng, she has developed a strange sense of superiority over Dong Xiangxiang.

She's just a country girl, a good-for-nothing who can't even hold onto her own man, yet she dares to try and control me?

"That bitch, she actually looks down on me?" Dong Xiangxiang's face darkened for a moment, but she quickly put on a smile again. "I know, you found a job."

"What do you mean, 'found a job'? Do you think jobs are as easy to find as cabbages?" Jiang Qiubai immediately became wary and denied it.

Dong Xiangxiang chuckled softly, "I saw it all at the hospital just now."

Seeing Jiang Qiubai immediately look at her warily, Dong Xiangxiang continued with a smile, "These days, jobs are so hard to find. You're really capable, Qiubai. Speaking of which, I'd like to find a job for my younger brother. Qiubai, are you hiring? Could you introduce my brother to someone there?"

"Jobs are hard to find these days, and I don't know where I can find one. I'm afraid I can't help you." Jiang Qiubai refused without even thinking.

A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. A peasant like him, trying to find a job? Do you think you can even find one? Not to mention that the factories in the city don't hire at all, and even if they do, they only hire people with urban household registration. Dong Xiangxiang's younger brother, a rural resident who hasn't had much schooling, wants to find a job? That's just wishful thinking.

Being rejected was somewhat expected, and Dong Xiangxiang's smile remained unchanged. She moved closer to Jiang Qiubai and whispered in her ear, "You don't think no one knows about your affair with Ren Yongsheng, do you?"

Jiang Qiubai's heart skipped a beat, and the faint sense of superiority he had just felt vanished.

"What nonsense are you spouting?! Ren Yongsheng and I are completely innocent, what could we possibly be up to?!" She retorted fiercely, but inside she was terrified. How did Dong Xiangxiang know?! What was she planning to do?

Looking at Dong Xiangxiang again, she still had that same smiling face, her voice soft and gentle, but to Jiang Qiubai it sounded like a demon:

"Give me the job, and I'll pretend I don't know anything about this. Otherwise, just wait and see if your little scandal spreads throughout the whole compound."

"I heard that the neighborhood committee has been cracking down on misconduct lately. You probably don't want to be the one to be made an example of, right, Sister Qiubai?"

Jiang Qiubai's heart sank heavily; it turned out it was all because of his job.

She underestimated this village girl, who dared to threaten her with this matter!

She gritted her teeth, "Xiangxiang, you're from the countryside and don't know how tough things are. These days, cracking down on misconduct between men and women is no joke. If you really go around spreading rumors, Ren Yongsheng will be finished. You finally managed to marry into the city, are you going to go back to the countryside? With your current health, it might be hard for you to get married again, right?"

Dong Xiangxiang chuckled, touching her belly, and deliberately put on a happy face. "Don't worry, Sister Qiubai, I'm carrying the Ren family's only grandson. Even though Yongsheng had an accident, my in-laws will take good care of the child. My life won't be too bad, so you don't need to worry about me. Sister Qiubai, you should worry about yourself."

That smug look almost made Jiang Qiubai faint with anger.

That little bitch!

Jiang Qiubai was filled with hatred. Now even Dong Xiangxiang, a village girl he had always looked down on, dared to bully him.

No matter how much she hated it, she dared not gamble.

Reluctantly, he could only give Dong Xiangxiang the letter of introduction that the middle-aged woman had just given her.

This also means that she gave up this temporary job.

Watching Jiang Qiubai's frustrated figure, Dong Xiangxiang smiled triumphantly.

Hmph, she stole her man, so she has to pay something back.

-----------------

Jiang Qiubai was devastated when her newly acquired job was snatched away before she could even enjoy it. Little did she know that something even worse awaited her when she got home.

Jiang Qiubai returned home with a gloomy expression, only to find everyone pointing and whispering about him as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Jiang Qiubai originally didn't intend to pay attention, but those people, seeing that she didn't react, became even more audacious, and the chatter grew louder and louder. There was even an old lady who spat at her.

Jiang Qiubai: "!!!"

She couldn't take it anymore.

He cursed the gossipy people under his breath, stared straight at them, and asked with a stern face, "What are you looking at? Are you all blind and can't you recognize me?"

Goodness, those words have offended quite a few people again.

Initially, some people were still skeptical and wanted to ask her if it was true, but after hearing her blunt and sarcastic remarks, they immediately retorted:

"Stop pretending. Everyone knows about your affair with Ren Yongsheng."

"Exactly! We can't even take a look, but Ren Yongsheng can kiss and hug us?"

There were also people with ill intentions who said directly, "What, is it because Zheng Haiyang is no longer good in that area, and you're starving that you've come to Ren Yongsheng?" Everyone knows Ren Yongsheng, what sane woman would go to him? Could it be that he really has a special talent in that area?

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, and their gazes toward Jiang Qiubai became ambiguous.

Jiang Qiubai: "!!!"

a bolt from the blue! ! !

She had just been threatened by Dong Xiangxiang with this leverage to give up her job, and when she turned around and returned to the courtyard, she found that what she thought was a secret was already known to everyone.

What's the point of her giving up her job then?

Ahhh!

Dong Xiangxiang! I'll never forgive you!
