Liu Lamei has been working for the Yu family for two years now. Occasionally, she will go back home on Sundays.

She has earned more money in the past two years than her entire family of ten people combined in the same period. Most importantly, she doesn't work hard and eats well. She has gained weight and become much fairer.

At the end of December, a major event occurred, and the Yu family became lively again.

At the end of this month, a call was issued for "educated youth to go to the countryside and receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants," sparking a nationwide upsurge in educated youth going to the countryside.

The Yu family has two children, Yu Qianwen, Yu Zhang and Yu Shan, who are both old enough to go to the countryside. Yu Qianyou's son, Yu Huan, is also old enough. Only Yu Ke can wait a bit, but he needs to find a job within a year.

This means that the Yu family will have to find three jobs right now.

Even though the Yu family and Yu Qianyou and Yu Qianwen's in-laws are both quite powerful, it's still difficult to find three jobs under these circumstances, not to mention that many people are watching them. One wrong move and everyone would be finished, so it's even more difficult. But it's not impossible to find jobs, as long as you're willing to spend money.

But Chen Xi and Gao Lan both had their eyes on Zheng Mulan's job. They both wanted to snatch it from her, since if they got the job, they could earn at least thirty yuan a month, which would be more than three hundred yuan a year. How could they not be tempted?

In this current climate, buying a job like this can easily cost seven or eight hundred, or even over a thousand, and you might not even be able to get one.

Therefore, both of them kept a close eye on the job of Zheng Mulan, and not only them, but also Yu Qianwen and Yu Qianyou.

After all, the family needs to buy two jobs and find connections, which will easily cost at least two thousand. It will really be a financial strain for the family to suddenly come up with so much money.

Yu Zhang, Yu Shan, Yu Huan, and Yu Ke were also watching closely, since their mothers had told them that if they didn't get this job, they might have to go to the countryside.

It's no secret that people are going to the countryside now. They're not stupid, and they don't want to go. Going to the countryside is easy; you just need to sign up. But coming back is harder than climbing to heaven.

The old house of the Yu family.

Chen Xi: "Mom, why don't you just retire? Let Shanshan take over your job. We really can't find two people working in this family."

Gao Lan: "What do you mean, Second Sister-in-law? We can find two in my family. Mom, give them to Xiao Ke! Xiao Ke is so young, how can he endure going to the countryside?"

Yu Qianwen: "Mom, Shanshan is a girl, she really can't go to the countryside."

Yu Qianyou: "Mom, we really have no other choice but to come to you. Please help us!"

Zheng Mulan didn't want her grandchildren to go to the countryside, but she only had one job, and giving it to anyone would offend people. She also didn't have the ability to find four jobs, so she refused to budge.

But the attitude of the second and third sons is quite disheartening. She has no right to speak to her daughter-in-law, since she didn't raise her.

But she raised her second and third sons, and now they're acting so aggressively, as if she'd be a sinner if she didn't step down. It's truly chilling.

And then there are these four grandchildren. Although she didn't raise them by her own hands, they're pretty much the same. They all grew up by her side and ate with her. Now, not one of them is saying a word for her. They all want her to give up her job for them.

Finding two jobs at once is difficult, but it's not impossible for them. They can help each other, along with their own family and their two in-laws, though it will cost more money.

She had a good idea of ​​their financial situation; she could at least come up with two thousand yuan, if not more.

After all, the children have been eating with her all these years. They are both working families, and as long as the two daughters-in-law haven't been giving all their money to their parents' families all these years, they can still afford to pay for it.

Yu Jiefang was also angered by the people's coercive attitude. "That's enough. Your mother only has one job. The most important thing now is to find a job as soon as possible, instead of forcing your mother."

The four women understood this principle, and they had already asked their families to secretly look for jobs for them. However, they felt they couldn't let their in-laws know, as both families were afraid that the jobs Zheng Mulan had would end up in the other's hands.

They couldn't believe it. In the end, there was no other way. Zheng Mulan's job was not allowed to be taken out. Now, whoever held on to the end would get the job.

So, this drama has been playing out at the Yu family every few days for the past few days, leaving Zheng Mulan exhausted from the ordeal.

Seeing Zheng Mulan like this, Yu Qian frowned and said, "Mom, don't worry about it so much. You've raised us, and we've all started our own families. You've fulfilled your responsibilities."

As for your grandchildren's affairs, that's their father's business, what's it to you! If they need work, they should go to their own father. If they can't find work, then their father is incompetent, and they should blame their father.

Zheng Mulan felt a little better after hearing Yu Qianhe's words. "Then what about your family? You have three people in your family!"

Yu Qianhe: "Three is fine! I can manage to get them. If I can't, then I'm sorry, I'm just a useless father. In your next life, remember to be careful and find a capable father."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Mulan slapped him across the face. "You can't even speak properly. 'Next life'? I'll beat you to death in this life first."

That's what she said, but hearing Yu Qian's interruption made Zheng Mulan feel much better.

Zheng Mulan refused to budge, and the situation remained deadlocked.

Chen Xi wasn't in a hurry, since Yu Qianyou's family member Yu Ke could still wait another year, but Yu Huan was the only one who needed to find a job quickly.

Although she has two children, and Yu Shan is a girl, she doesn't believe her mother-in-law would be willing to let Yu Shan go to the countryside.

She's already heard from her family that Yu Zhang's job is almost confirmed, though it's a bit expensive at 1,200 yuan, but it's an office job.
