Chapter 205: Gatekeeper



Children are another pain point and problem.

He has to hold his pee. He is not even one year old yet. It is so hot in summer and he is squeezed in a small house with his parents. How can the child bear it?

Liu Cui coughed and added to Jiang Ming, "Whether the child can tolerate it is hard to say. I'm just worried about a rash. If a rash occurs, I'll have to spend money on talcum powder. The suffering is a small matter, but the money is."

Ge Dongmei smiled meaningfully, her innocent little face tinged with sarcasm: "Second sister-in-law has been giving a lot of money to her parents' home. So she feels bad about the money because she can't support her own son?"

"They say a mother stands by her son, but why are you standing against your own family?"

"But I can understand that. With so many brothers and sisters, it's only natural that we should help each other."

No wonder Jiang Jun is not close to his second brother and his wife, and doesn’t even want to have a superficial relationship with them.

Now it seems they deserved it.

It's wishful thinking to do something wrong and then just pretend it never happened.

Liu Cui was speechless after being scolded. She hesitated for a long time but couldn't find any words to reply to Ge Dongmei.

Because she was telling the truth.

Liu Chunhua looked at her two daughters-in-law who were fighting fiercely, but she didn't panic. She just sipped her sauerkraut noodles.

The sour and salty noodle soup is warm and delicious, warming my stomach.

She didn't really not care, but she was just trying to figure it out in her heart.

Just like before the third sister got married, she weighed both ends.

She also needs to think carefully about the second and fourth children.

There are three people in the second brother’s family.

Jiang Ming works at home and Liu Cui works outside, bringing back more than 20 yuan each month.

Jiang Jun and Ge Dongmei will both have jobs in the future, and they will work in the street office. In terms of respectability, the fourth brother and his wife have the upper hand.

What's more, the fourth brother is deeply loved by the third brother.

The relationship between the second and third sons is just average.

No matter how you look at it, you should side with the fourth brother and his wife.

Jiang Dashan just smoked and didn't say anything. He seemed to be thinking, but in fact he was waiting for Liu Chunhua to make a decision.

Liu Chunhua made the final decision: "There's no need to talk about this matter. It's reasonable and logical to compensate the fourth brother."

"You two have gotten everything these past few years. The jobs are yours, the eldest's dowry is yours, but the fourth has nothing, and you almost got someone killed."

"You two should move your things to the small house later, and let the fourth brother and his wife live in your big house."

"Don't use the sewing machine, just move it to the big room. I see Dongmei's clothes are torn in a few places, so feel free to mend them. Liu Cui can come over if she wants to use them."

After that, it was settled. Liu Chunhua gestured with the chopsticks in her hand: "Don't just stand there, eat quickly."

Jiang Jun's brows relaxed and he ate with a good appetite.

Ge Dongmei did not immediately try to please Liu Chunhua. She felt that it was her family's responsibility to compensate Jiang Jun and there was nothing to thank them for.

Jiang Dashan's appetite also improved.

He didn't distinguish between the two sons, and what made him happy was that he was not allowed to make the decision.

Jiang Ming and Liu Cui didn't have much appetite.

Halfway through the meal, he felt he had to pee and started crying again. Jiang Ming went to see the child, but when he came back, there was no food left.

There isn't much in the second room either.

There are a few quilts, a few sets of clothes, and some supplies in the quilt, just move them over.

Jiang Jun's situation was even simpler. He had nothing to do when he first came back, so Jiang Ming vacated his residence and moved in with Ge Dongmei.

Lying in the house where the second brother lived, Jiang Jun was not very happy.

"Dongmei, are you asleep?"

Ge Dongmei hadn't slept yet. She turned over, and the bed creaked. "No, you can't sleep?"

Jiang Jun looked at somewhere in the darkness: "Why do I feel that mother is not trying to make it up to me?"

"You've sensed it too. I think your family is quite strange. Except for your second sister, everyone only cares about profit."

There is no humanity at all.

Ge Dongmei comforted him: "It's okay. When we have children, you can divide the family property. It's up to you to get as much as you want. By then, we'll be able to make our own living."

The words are real comfort.

Jiang Jun felt relieved instantly.

"good."

Some are happy while others are sad. Jiang Jun's heart knot has been untied, but some are still worried and can't sleep.

Xiao Chengda didn't expect that the job Cheng Xingyan finally found for him would be so undignified.

I work as a gatekeeper at a factory and get a monthly allowance of more than ten yuan.

He used to have a three-digit income, but it dropped so quickly that he felt very upset and couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.

As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. At his age, not only did he not go to high places, he also had to look at the gate.

If his old friends find out about this, should he save face?

Xiao Chengda couldn't understand why his life had become like this.

Qin Taoxian was woken up by his tossing and turning, and said angrily: "Can you please stop moving? You're disturbing my sleep. If I really can't sleep, go to the hut outside."

"I've worked all day at home, getting up early and working late to tend to the garden and cook, and I'm not even allowed to sleep well at night."

Xiao Chengda's body froze in place.

Originally, even if Qin Taoxian hadn't slept for three days and three nights, she would still force herself to make something for him to eat.

I have no money left, so I can't tolerate anything.

Xiao Chengda felt a chill in his heart.

Sigh before going to bed.

If you want to keep your family together, you have to find a job outside.

"Taoxian, I found a job."

Qin Taoxian's frown relaxed, and her tone softened: "Looking for a job, where is it?"

Xiao Chengda hesitated for a moment: "In this small research institute, Xiao Shuisheng doesn't give me a chance to make a living. I can only do some simple work and earn a dozen yuan a month."

Qin Taoxian was not very satisfied with her salary, but she felt that the job was quite decent.

Ten dollars can be spent slowly and it will get you by. At least you don’t have to beg for food outside.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? So this is why you couldn't sleep."

Xiao Chengda couldn't laugh: "Go to sleep."

The next day, Xiao Chengda worked as a security guard at a winery under the guidance of Cheng Xingyan.

He lowered his head, trying not to be recognized.

Jiang Zao didn't expect to see Xiao Chengda guarding the gate of the winery.

Normally she should be at work, but her master called her over in the morning and asked her if she wanted to be a waitress.

The old boss of the winery was having a birthday, and having heard that she had good cooking skills, he wanted them to go over and make some plain pastries.

The waiter gave her 100 yuan each time.

This is equivalent to several months' salary, and Jiang Zao must earn this money.

The instant noodle team has been doing well recently, so Director He didn't care about Jiang Zao and approved his leave request.

So the master and apprentice came to the brewery in the afternoon to decide on the menu.

"Is that... your father-in-law?" Although Sun Ligen had only met Xiao Chengda once, he knew him.

I heard some things about the Xiao family, but I didn't expect Xiao Chengda to become like this. Apart from looking a bit similar to the last time I saw him, his aura seemed different.

Jiang Zao also saw Xiao Chengda.

Xiao Chengda also saw Jiang Zao.

After a pause, Jiang Zao replied to Sun Ligen: "What father-in-law? I don't have one. I'm just a gatekeeper."
