◎I have a clue about the work◎

Seeing Jiang Che looking at her with an expression as if to say "are you stupid?", Wei Xuan tried hard to recall, but it seemed that she really had no memory of Jiang Che's work.

The original person had always thought that as a city dweller and his father being the deputy director of a large state-owned factory, he should have a respectable job.

God damn thinks so...

Wei Xuan came back to her senses: "If we don't work and have no income, how will we live?"

You can't just be a freeloader!

"That's all for the future. Anyway, I won't let you go hungry, don't worry." As he spoke, Jiang Che led Wei Xuan to the bed.

Before Wei Xuan could stop him, he had already pushed her down on the bed. Her coat was loose and hanging on her body. "Wait, wait, I haven't showered yet."

"Oh, there's not that much to do. Do your work first, then wash up."

...

...

Seeing that Jiang Che ignored him and was busy with his own business, Wei Xuan had no choice but to kick him.

Wei Xuan refused to cooperate, and Jiang Che was helpless. Finally, he had to accept his fate and fetch water for Wei Xuan to wash. He then went outside to the yard to take a quick bath.

After washing and going to bed, Wei Xuan wanted to find another excuse to refuse, but this time Jiang Che did not give her the chance to speak. He just covered her with the quilt and leaned over her.

A sleepless night...

The next day I got up late.

"It's all your fault, otherwise I wouldn't have woken up so late. I'm so embarrassed now."

Jiang Che was satisfied last night and was in a good mood today. He ignored Wei Xuan's complaints and diligently helped Wei Xuan get the clothes she was going to wear today.

When Wei Xuan and the others hurriedly packed up and left, no one was at home, and there was breakfast left for the two of them in the kitchen.

"My parents, my eldest brother and his wife have all gone to work, and my nephews and nieces have gone to school. I said it would be okay to get up later, but you are just too shy."

Wei Xuan ignored Jiang Che's smug expression, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a little late, it was still good not to have to face the Jiang family directly.

"After dinner, I'll take you to the Cultural Palace to watch a movie this afternoon."

Wei Xuan didn't really want to go. She wanted to have a good chat with Jiang Che about work. He could ask his parents-in-law for money with a clear conscience, but she couldn't. Without income, there would be no sense of security.

But Jiang Che was obviously not someone who could be manipulated. Plus, she had just gotten married and was not familiar with the situation yet, so she should just go along with him and take things step by step!

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan agreed: "Okay, then will we just have lunch at home?"

"I'll take you out to eat at a big restaurant at noon."

The wealthy man Jiang Che was referring to was his good brother Wu Yun.

"When you meet him later, don't be polite. This kid is very rich, you can order whatever he wants to eat." Jiang Che instructed Wei Xuan as they walked.

Jiang Che has such a rich friend. Wei Xuan was a little curious: "What does he do for a living? How did you know him?"

"Hey, don't worry about that. All you need to know is that he has money."

Well, seeing him smiling like that, Wei Xuan knew that this friend, or perhaps the money this friend made, might not be so legitimate.

After meeting the person, Wei Xuan's idea was confirmed.

First of all, Wu Yun didn't look like a good person, but of course she didn't mean he was a bad person. On the contrary, after chatting for a while, Wei Xuan felt that he was a very benevolent friend. He just had a bit of a gangster vibe about him, and didn't look like someone who would do a decent job or get along well with others.

Wu Yun was very generous. As soon as they entered the restaurant, he asked Wei Xuan to order the dishes. Wei Xuan ordered three dishes, but he thought it was not enough and finally ordered two more. You have to know that a dish at that time was very large in portion.

Seeing that Wei Xuan was trying to stop him, he said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. We are two grown men here. Are you still worried that you can't finish it?"

The host didn't mind, so what else could Wei Xuan say?

"Brother Wu, we should be the ones to pay for this meal..."

Before Wei Xuan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wu Yun: "Hey, sister-in-law, Xiao Che and I are like brothers. It's just a meal. There's no need to be so particular about yours and mine. Besides, you got married yesterday, and it was not convenient for me to come to your house for a drink. Today's meal is my apology."

Wei Xuan didn't understand and glanced at Jiang Che.

Wu Yun knew Jiang Che had definitely not told his wife about his situation, so he spoke up immediately: "Sister-in-law, you may not know this, but my family background is not very good. I went out to beg for a living when I was very young. In 1962, I almost starved to death on the roadside, and it was a cake from Xiao Che that saved me. Since then, I have regarded Xiao Che as my own brother, so you are very casual with me."

It turns out that there is such a connection here. From 1962 to now, the two have known each other for fourteen years. Jiang Che is twenty years old this year, and they are indeed friends who have grown up together.

In this way, Wei Xuan didn't say any more polite words, as saying too much would make it seem awkward.

During this time, Wu Yun teased Jiang Che: "My sister-in-law is so pretty, you are lucky to have her."

Jiang Che was dissatisfied and said, "My appearance doesn't wrong her."

And it made him proud.

Wei Xuan couldn't bear to watch it, not knowing what the comparison was.

After the meal, the three of them had a very happy chat.

After dinner, Wu Yun had something else to do so he left first. Jiang Che took Wei Xuan for a walk to digest the food. The Cultural Palace didn't open until 1:30 in the afternoon, so if they went too early there would be no one there.

Section 6

"Hey, you have such a good relationship with Wu Yun, why don't you make money with him?"

Jiang Che shook his head: "I can't stand his hard work. Besides, I have enough food and drink. Unlike him, if he doesn't work hard, his family will starve to death."

Through the conversation just now, Wei Xuan also roughly knew about Wu Yun's family situation. He has a younger sister and an elderly grandmother to support. As for his parents, they died in that movement a long time ago. He was also a pitiful person.

However, she also couldn't stand Jiang Che's attitude of taking it for granted that he was going to live off his parents. He couldn't just sit around doing nothing all day. She had to find a way to make him realize the importance of controlling the family's financial foundation.

After watching a movie in the afternoon, I returned home and everyone in the family had already returned from get off work. Mrs. Jiang was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Oh, it looks like we got back just in time for dinner."

Jiang Che sat down without any embarrassment. Jiang's mother didn't seem to be surprised at all and was actually concerned about where her son went to play in the afternoon. However, Jiang's father criticized him, "You just play all day long. Now that you have a family, shouldn't you go back to work?"

Jiang Che muttered softly, looking unwilling.

Jiang's mother did not spoil her son on this point. Work is a big deal. After the old couple are gone, the youngest son must be able to support their small family.

"Yes, listen to your father. The sales department of the factory will be recruiting an office clerk in a few days. You can go and try." After saying that, he turned to look at Wei Xuan next to him and said, "And Wei Xuan, your household registration has also been transferred. It just so happens that a friend of mine is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. She has a vacancy. I will ask for you later."

"Okay, thanks, Mom. I'll trouble you then." Wei Xuan didn't expect that the job that had been bothering her for so long could be solved like this. She excitedly agreed quickly.

"Well, it's okay. I just asked a few questions. Just be sure to work hard when you get there." Being sneaky is not a good idea. Seeing that Wei Xuan knew what was right and what was wrong, Jiang's mother was quite proud.

"Hey, I must work hard and not bring shame to my family."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached a consensus in a friendly manner, but Jiang Dasao, who was eating at the same table, was very angry. Forget about the brother-in-law, why can this rural person go to work in the supply and marketing cooperative directly? Everyone knows that the supply and marketing cooperative is a good job with good benefits.

She had been having a hard time getting a job in an office for so many years, and she was still a textile worker. Besides, it sounded easy, but was it that easy to find a job in a supply and marketing cooperative? It was all one position for one person, and it would definitely cost a lot of money.

After finishing the meal without any appetite, Mrs. Jiang went back to her room and complained to her husband.

"Mom, you are biased. You are the eldest son. Mom and Dad will live with us in the future. Now they spend all their money on my younger brother. We are the ones who suffer."

Brother Jiang didn't want to pay attention to her at first. He just wanted the woman to vent her complaints and say a few words. But as she got more and more excited, he got angry and said, "Enough, you keep talking all day long. Mom and Dad have been good enough to us. Didn't they arrange your job for you? I was able to get promoted so quickly in the factory over the years because others saw my father's face. I have two children. How much of their food and clothing are not subsidized by my parents?

I won’t talk about these. It’s their right to decide how to spend their money and on whom to spend it. We have no right to interfere.”

"How can my job be compared to my brother and sister-in-law's? I work so hard at the factory every day and still have to do housework when I get home. What's wrong with my parents giving me some extra money? I'm the one who takes care of all the housework."

This made Brother Jiang laugh: "How much work have you done? Isn't it just cooking every day? If you don't cook, do you wait for mom to serve you? As for housework, how much have you done? Aren't most of it done by your three younger sisters when they come home?"

After a pause, he continued, "Let's talk about your job again. You were in a hurry to ask dad to arrange a job for you just a few days after you got married. At that time, the factory was short of people for this position, and you chose it yourself. Later, mom and dad said they would change your job when there was a chance, but what did you do? Before you were sure of anything, you ran back to your parents' house to show off, and even sold your current position to your sister-in-law at a low price. After this matter got out, it almost implicated dad. Even after all this, you are still not satisfied? What else do you want to be treated fairly?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Mrs. Jiang's anger subsided. She dared not say anything more, for fear that her husband would continue to bring up old matters with her. However, she was still resentful that her in-laws were partial to her younger brother-in-law.

The heated argument here did not in the least interfere with the gentle affection between Wei Xuan and Jiang Che next door.

The next day, they both woke up early. Today was the day to visit their parents. After breakfast, Jiang's mother handed Jiang Che the things she had packed yesterday, saying, "This is a gift for visiting the parents. Go early and come back early."

"Hey, okay mom, we'll go first then."

There was no car to drive back this time, so Jiang Che took Wei Xuan on a bicycle. Fortunately, Wei Xuan was not heavy, and they chatted along the way, and they arrived at the village in just an hour and a half.
