However, the elderly couple's voices were so loud that others gathered around. Zhou Mingjiao spoke up directly, "Mother, are you saying that my sister-in-law refused the permanent job and house offered by the hospital director?"

Only Zhou Mingjiao knew the extent of her regret. Although she had initially signed up just to go against Shen Banxia, ​​she was furious to find out that Shen Banxia had only participated in the training and then received such a great opportunity.

Zhou's mother nodded with a dark face, of course, her dark face was because of Shen Banxia.

"Ahhhh, why? Last time, Director Ge Wei offered her a job, but she refused. This time, the dean offered her one too. Why is she so unfair?" Zhou Mingjiao felt like she was burning with jealousy.

Ge Hongying couldn't help but chime in, "Yes, if sister-in-law doesn't want it, there are other people in the family."

Even Li Erya, who is usually very reserved, couldn't help but say, "Yes, sister-in-law is really amazing." She has three daughters. If her sister-in-law were kind, could she also get a job for her daughters?

Zhou Laosan's biggest wish was to be able to eat his fill and have meat. Hearing this, his eyes turned red. "How could my sister-in-law do this? If she doesn't want it, I will! Waaah, that was a chance to get government-subsidized grain!" The thought of missing out on the chance to eat his fill filled Zhou Laosan with grief.

Mr. Zhou kicked him with a dark face, "Get lost, what's it to you?"

Zhou Laosan complained, "How come I'm not involved? We're all family. Anyway, it's not going to be used later, so I can keep it. Besides, if all else fails, I can give it to my little sister."

Zhou Laosi was the most anxious at this moment. "Dad, Mom, do you want to talk to them again? I have a girlfriend. She's from the county town. If I get a job, her family won't object."

"What? Fourth son, you're dating? You brat, why didn't you tell the family? I was even planning to have a matchmaker find you a good match," Zhou's mother said anxiously, slapping Zhou's fourth son.

She was so anxious and upset, but in the end, the fourth brother quietly found a girlfriend.

It's actually from a county town.

Good heavens! She never dared to imagine that the fourth brother was so capable.

But what about work? Although I really want a wife from a small town, Jiaojiao is still young and can't handle hardship.

When Zhou Laosi saw his mother's hesitant look, he knew what she was thinking.

If it were in the past, he would have given it to his younger sister without hesitation. But she was his beloved wife. She was so wonderful, how could he bear to give her up?

"Little sister, please don't argue with me this time, okay? Just consider it a favor I owe you."

Zhou Mingjiao's face stiffened. "This...this is not something I can decide. That's my sister-in-law's job." She was going crazy inside. What was going on? Why was everyone trying to take it from her?

In Zhou Mingjiao's view, as long as her parents work together, the job will definitely be a piece of cake.

Then it will be a sure thing that it will be mine.

But now that her fourth brother has interfered, Zhou Mingjiao knows that her parents love her, but she can't guarantee anything about such an important matter as getting married.

Because she knew how anxious her mother was about her fourth brother's marriage.

"Little sister, I will ask my sister-in-law for help when the time comes. Can I ask you for help just this once? I'll do whatever you ask me to do from now on." Zhou Laosi was also conflicted.

Zhou Mingjiao was overflowing with resentment, but she didn't want her fourth brother to hate her like her eldest brother did.

Just as she was about to speak, her taciturn second brother interrupted, "Fourth brother, our little sister isn't in good health. How can you take her job? You're her own fourth brother."

Zhou Mingjiao looked at her second brother with teary eyes.

Zhou Laosan and his wife Ge Hongying chimed in, "Yes, Lao Si."

Even Zhou Lao Er's wife, Li Er Ya, looked at Zhou Lao Si with dissatisfaction.

Mr. Zhou didn't give her a good look either. As for Mrs. Zhou, she said, "Fourth brother, your second brother is right. Your little sister isn't in good health. Once she gets a job and recovers, she'll definitely help you brothers out. As for the person you mentioned, since she's already willing to date you, she won't look down on your family's conditions."

Zhou Laosi was dumbfounded.

For some reason, he felt a chill in his heart. Why did this step feel so familiar?

Yes, wasn't that how his whole family treated his older brother back then?

What did they say back then?

My younger sister is still young and not in good health, so I, as her older sister, should be considerate of her.

Why do I feel so bad when it happens to me?

Hasn't my little sister recovered her health? Besides, he clearly heard his parents' plan to ask his aunt's uncle's family for help.

Moreover, since her aunt has always doted on her younger sister, she must already have some ideas.

But what about me? I finally found a boyfriend in a small town, but my family isn't happy for me; instead, they're holding me back.

Zhou Laosi felt a chill run through his body.

But no one cared about his feelings at this moment; they were all plotting how to tell Shen Banxia about it.

They all knew that Shen Banxia was stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason; if they tried to force her, she definitely wouldn't agree.

They felt that in this family, the person Shen Banxia cared about most was the eldest son.

They even discussed sending a telegram to the eldest brother tomorrow, asking him to come back earlier.

Watching them scheme for their little sister, Zhou Laosi felt utterly out of place.

He doesn't seem like he belongs in this family anymore.

Shen Banxia was unaware of the Zhou family's schemes. She was currently staying at a guesthouse not far from the hospital. During her stay, Madam Zhou developed a fever, but after emergency treatment, her condition finally stabilized.

By the time things had completely stabilized, it was already dawn.

After spending three days in the county hospital, everything finally stabilized.

This time, it was still Xiao Wang, the driver, who gave me the ride.

When they got off the bus, they were truly the center of attention. There was no way around it; it was shortly after work, and everyone was still carrying hoes.

Upon seeing Shen Banxia, ​​she excitedly waved her hoe, "Dr. Shen, you're back! Oh my, you seem to have gotten even better these past few days!"

"Haha, what are you guys saying? When has Dr. Shen ever not been amazing?"

"We're so lucky now. Where else in this area can you find such a skilled doctor?"

"That's right. I'll go back and talk to my family properly, then we won't have to waste money in the county town."

"That's right, it's far away and expensive over there."

As everyone chimed in with their own opinions, Shen Banxia couldn't help but twitch her lips. These people were all so straightforward and enthusiastic.

If I hadn't dodged quickly, that hoe would have almost hit my face.

After returning to the Zhou family, they became even more outrageous.

They were practically waited on hand and foot, each one of them smiling like a little red hooded grandmother.
