It was another busy night when I entered the space at night.

After a few peaceful months, they were ready to move.

Because Qin Minghao was transferred to the provincial steel plant to be the factory director, the family started packing their luggage a few days in advance.

Qin Minghao found a truck to transport the things. When they arrived at the steel plant's staff quarters, they unloaded all the things and moved them into the yard.

Qin Minghao knew that Xie Yun liked the yard, so he specially exchanged his family building for it with someone else.

People even privately said that he was stupid for living in a bungalow when he already had a house.

What Xie Yun likes most is the yard. The yard is large and has many rooms, which is just enough to accommodate his large family.

It would be so inconvenient to live in a building like this. The space is small, the sound insulation is poor, and cooking is done in the corridor. If someone cooks something delicious, the whole building will know about it.

The few of them cleaned up until the evening and finally tidied up the place where they were staying. Qin Minghao bought food from the state-owned restaurant and ate it.

After dinner, we cleaned up the kitchen and went to bed. The four little ones had already fallen asleep.

The next morning, Aunt Wang went to make breakfast. After Xie Yun dressed and washed the four little ones, it was time for dinner.

Qin Minghao also brought back the coal and put it away. After dinner, they spent the whole morning cleaning up.

This time, Xie Yun's work relationship was also transferred, but it was no longer in the purchasing department. This time she went to the trade union.

The work of the trade union is not as easy as that of the purchasing department. It is very busy every day, and sometimes we have to go out to mediate disputes.

Not long after I introduced myself to the people in the office on my first day at work, someone came to see me.

The eldest sister Zhao Li took Xie Yun to mediate, and the two of them came to the family building.

I saw two women fighting, and some neighbors were trying to separate them while others were just standing by and making sarcastic remarks.

After the two of them passed by, Sister Zhao asked someone to pull them apart. She looked at the two women with disheveled hair, one gasping for breath, and one pointing at the other and cursing.

"You are a heartless and black-hearted family. Return my family's job to us. If you don't, I will die in your house."

"What do you mean by your family? That's my family's job. Don't think you can be unreasonable just because you're my sister-in-law."

"Bah, that job originally belonged to my man, you guys stole it from me."

"Alright, both of you stop arguing. Arguing won't solve the problem. Tell me what's going on."

"You speak first," Sister Zhao pointed at the woman with tears on her face.

"My husband is Wang Tiezhu. He died six years ago while trying to save the factory from a fire. Because my child is under sixteen, the factory offered me a job. I can come and work when my child is old enough."

"You're talking nonsense. This job was given to my family by my mother-in-law," another woman shouted.

"What are you shouting about? I'll ask you after I ask her. Don't say anything yet. Wang Tiezhu's wife, go on."

"My mother-in-law insisted that if I didn't give it to her later, what would I do? So she said that my husband's younger brother, Wang Tongzhu, should do it first, and give me five yuan a month. She would give us the job when the child was old enough to work."

"But now that the children have grown up, not only do they not give us jobs, they also don't give us money. I came to them, but they said it was not true and that they had given it to them in the first place. Woo woo woo woo."

"Are you Wang Tongzhu's wife?"

"yes"

"Is this what happened?"

"That's not the case, Secretary Zhao. My mother-in-law suggested this job for my family. We will just be the children and support her when she's old."

"I'm asking you, was this job previously held by Wang Tiezhu?"

"Yes, but..."

"That's fine. After Wang Tiezhu died, the factory left the job to his son, right?"

"But……"

"You don't have to, but your family was replaced. Now that they're here to take it, you should return it to them. You can't let the families of the deceased feel disappointed."

"But this job was given to me by my mother-in-law, and they agreed to it at the time. We've been doing this for so many years, and they can't just go back on their word."

"You promised to return my child to us when he was old enough. Now you are not returning him. What will happen to my child?"

"If you want us to return our jobs, you can ask mother-in-law to come and talk to us. If she says so, I will return it immediately." Anyway, mother-in-law is on their side and there is no way she will give up her jobs.

"Secretary Zhao, you decide what to do. My mother-in-law is so mean-spirited that she can't possibly say this. She's trying to kill us!" Wang Tiezhu's wife cried more and more sadly as she spoke.

Sister Zhao said, "Leave your address and go back and wait for news. We'll hold a meeting and discuss it and then notify you. Don't worry, we will handle it impartially."

"Okay, I'll go back and wait. I trust the leadership and the organization." Xie Yun took out a pen and a notebook and wrote down the address that Wang Tiezhu's wife said.

Sister Zhao sent Wang Tiezhu's wife away in a gentle manner. When she turned around, she saw Wang Tongzhu's wife standing there, her eyes rolling around, and it was obvious that she was not up to any good intentions.

After Sister Zhao brought Xie Yun back to the office, she picked up her teacup and drank half of it in one gulp. She talked for a long time, but she was so thirsty.
