Good news: She found out she was the original female lead in a novel, now reduced to a supporting role.
Bad news: Her storyline had already ended, with her receiving her "lunchbox" (b...
Upon hearing this, Li Yue'e nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay!"
Knowing that Li Yue'e needed time to process this or to discuss it with Political Commissar Wang, Lin Ying didn't disturb her. After saying goodbye to Li Yue'e, she took Er Ya home.
Afterwards, Lin Ying went to Gao Chunhua's house, and the same thing happened.
In Lin Ying's eyes, Li Yue'e was someone who had always been kind to her from beginning to end. As for Gao Chunhua, she was one of the few people she felt somewhat indebted to.
Although Gao Chunhua's troubles were ultimately her own fault, it is also true that she was taken advantage of in the first place.
Everyone must take responsibility for their actions.
Similarly, everyone lives their own life, not someone else's. Lin Ying admits that her moral standards are indeed very high in this regard. However, if you feel guilty about something from the beginning and don't try to make amends, it's very likely that it will become a regret later.
This regret is a regret about your own life, a regret that you should have done better back then.
Clearly, Gao Chunhua, like Li Yue'e, never expected such a windfall. However, she also has children and cares deeply about them. If she were to actually go to work, what would happen to her children would indeed be a problem.
The reason they came to accompany their husbands was simply to be closer to their men and take care of their families.
After hearing that Lin Ying also planned to give Li Yue'e a spot, Gao Chunhua became uneasy and eventually went to Li Yue'e's house.
The two of them didn't know how to discuss it.
They all came to see Lin Ying the next day.
What Lin Ying didn't expect was that the two of them were each holding an envelope.
"Hey girl, we've discussed it. We can't waste this opportunity. But we can't just take your spot for nothing. It might not be worth much to you, but people outside would fight tooth and nail for it. We're not clueless. So, we're here today to buy your spot with this money."
"Yes, this is a rare opportunity, and nobody wants to miss it. We don't know the specifics, but people say that buying a job requires at least a year's salary. So, we've discussed it and are thinking of buying a spot for 300 yuan. Is that okay?"
"Yes, if that's not specific enough, just tell us how much and we'll chip in. We can't let the girl suffer a loss."
"If people find out that the girl gave up this spot for free, there will probably be all sorts of rumors going around."
Lin Ying didn't really want the money; of course, mainly because she thought it was something she shouldn't do. She also didn't understand it.
Now, listening to what these two are saying, it seems like factory positions can actually be sold for money?
So it seems that Director Jiang must have thought of this when she gave her this spot, right?
"Alright, since you two sisters-in-law have said so, I won't be coy. Three hundred it is. Sisters-in-law, wait here, I'll go get you the application forms."
Lin Ying went back to her room and got two more slots for the two people. They were both stamped with the official seal, meaning they could start their onboarding process immediately.
While giving out two spots, Lin Ying asked curiously, "If that's the case, what will happen to your children in the future?"
"What else can I do? I sent a telegram to my mother-in-law asking her to come and take care of the child. I'll definitely consider staying in the dormitory when I go to work in the winter. We'll talk about it later."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. Let's stay in the dorm first. We'll come back to the room later."
Hearing this, Lin Ying couldn't help but feel sorry for the child: "Are you sure you want to leave the child at home?"
"How can you make money if you don't trust anything? Girl, we're not as capable as you. Naturally, we can't earn a salary from home like you do. These days, everyone's struggling financially. We need to earn money to better support our children. There's just no other way."
Lin Ying couldn't help but ask, "So, Political Commissar Wang is willing to agree to this?"
Li Yue'e said nonchalantly, "What's there to be unwilling about? I talked to him about it yesterday, and he said he was overjoyed to have his mother bring the child over, so what's there to be unhappy about? If he's not happy, I'll have my own mother come over. There will always be someone to look after the child."
My husband is the same way.
In any case, since they had reached an agreement, Lin Ying naturally wouldn't interfere.
After giving the two spots to two people, Lin Ying stopped asking about the details.
Lin Ying gave the last spot to Zhang Shanlin, and the specific arrangements were left to him. It would be a real shame if this spot were cancelled tomorrow. It would be better for the military to give it to someone who is genuinely in financial difficulty.
