Chapter 21 Sister Wang is up to her old tricks again!
Jiang Xixi's lips twitched, and she looked at Xu Xiaomi beside her, speechless for a moment.
"Do you really think these are beautiful?"
"Hey, don't you think they're good-looking?"
"Uh~"
The coat is fine, the butterfly is fine, but can someone tell me why she would pin a huge butterfly to the chest of her coat?
Even more outrageous was that the coat was red and the butterflies were green. Jiang Xixi closed her eyes; she couldn't even imagine how 'unique' this red and green coat would look on her.
The key point is that such bizarre clothes are relatively normal among a pile of clothes.
That's strange. Xu Xiaomi usually wears pretty normal clothes and her outfits are usually well-coordinated. Why would she choose clothes like this?
"Xiao Mi, do you usually choose your own clothes?" Jiang Xixi couldn't help but ask, genuinely puzzled.
"No, my mom put together the outfits for me. She doesn't let me buy clothes, saying I have bad taste..." Xu Xiaomi was full of resentment when she talked about this. Why doesn't anyone understand her aesthetic sense? The clothes she puts together are so beautiful, and no one has any taste.
As expected, Jiang Xixi had anticipated this; Xu's mother truly understood her daughter.
Despite all the precautions Xu's mother took at home, she still couldn't prevent her daughter from making a big fuss at work and causing a huge mess.
As for the fabrics next to it, Xiaomi chose mostly light-colored fabrics, with white being the most common. In the current climate, there are still relatively few people wearing white clothes.
The main problem is that white fabric is not resistant to dirt, and in today's environment, from leaders to workers, everyone needs to work on the front lines, so white clothes can't withstand the wear and tear.
"Xixi, you also think the things I chose are no good? Waaah, what am I going to do? It looks like my salary is going to disappear, and my saved allowance will have to be used to fill the hole too, sigh!"
Xu Xiaomi let out a playful sigh, but a trace of worry still lingered between her brows.
Jiang Xixi looked at these bizarre fabrics and clothes and suddenly fell into deep thought.
If I remember correctly, the HA city government will be welcoming a group of foreign guests in a couple of days. If...
...
"Mom, has the job you promised me been settled yet? There are hardly any of my classmates left, and they've all already received their diplomas. I don't want to go back to school!"
At the dining table, Sister Wang, exhausted from a long day, had just sat down and hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath when she heard her daughter muttering.
Wang Qinzhi was furious whenever this was mentioned.
Everyone complains about her every day. Is it because she didn't want to find her a job? Jiang Xixi makes her angry at work, and when she gets home, her daughter is still a worry.
"What, you're blaming your mom for not getting you a good job? Your mom's just a sales clerk, how could she possibly have the ability to find you a job? Do you know how hard it is to find a job these days? And you're still blaming me here? If you're so capable, go find one yourself!"
"If you're so incompetent, shut your mouth and go back to school!"
"You told me a while ago that you found me a sales clerk job, which is why I asked you. Why did you tell me if you hadn't confirmed anything? Now look what's happened, I've even told my classmates that I'm going to work at a department store soon, I've been bragging about it."
"So, Mom, you're saying this whole thing is off? What am I supposed to say about my classmates now? Are you even my mom? You don't consider my feelings at all!"
Chen Jiaya was also angry. During this period, many classmates had asked her why she hadn't started working at the department store yet.
I'm so embarrassed, it's so shameful!
"You're blaming me? I'm the one who told you to brag to your classmates. You're not that old, but you've got quite the mindset." Sister Wang was furious and helpless, her hand already in front of her, as if she was about to slap Chen Jiaya across the face.
Chen's father, who was sitting next to him, did not make any attempt to stop them, and Chen's older brother, who was sitting next to him, was equally indifferent.
At the critical moment, Chen Jiaya dropped a bombshell.
“I’m dating the youngest son of Director Han. He said he would marry me if I could become a clerk at the department store.”
Upon hearing this, Chen's father and elder brother immediately sat up straight, their bodies, which had been slouching in their chairs, instantly becoming relaxed.
"Is the Director Han you mentioned the Deputy Director Han of our steel plant?" Mr. Chen cleared his throat and asked.
There was a hint of doubt in his tone.
"Yes, Han De, the second son of Deputy Factory Director Han, is my classmate. We have been talking for a while."
I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, you can go to my school and ask. Everyone knows I'm dating Han De~
Chen Jiaya raised her chin, looking very arrogant.
She knew that her father, who had long coveted the position of workshop director at the steel plant, would definitely help her.
Indeed, Chen's father suddenly stood up and slapped Wang Qinzhi with lightning speed.
That slap was really loud and hard.
Before anyone could see, a bright red five-finger mark appeared on Wang Qinzhi's face.
"You must keep your promises to the children, Qinzhi, don't you agree?"
Strangely enough, Sister Wang, who was usually so arrogant and domineering in the department store, even kicking a passing dog, didn't dare to resist in front of Mr. Chen at all.
His lips trembled for a few moments, but he finally uttered only a few words: "Okay, I understand!"
"Mom, why don't you let Ya Ya take over the department store job? You're not young anymore anyway, so why don't you come back and help me take care of the kids? You can also take care of your health. Didn't you say your legs hurt last time?"
"No need." Without even thinking, Sister Wang gave the most honest answer.
Seeing that Mr. Chen was really considering the suggestion, she quickly said, "We have a large family, and you, the eldest son, are only a temporary worker. When Ya Ya goes in, she will have to start from the lowest level. Our family's burden will all fall on your father's shoulders."
You're willing to let your dad work so hard, but I'm not!
After saying that, she forced a fawning smile at Mr. Chen.
Perhaps moved by these words, Mr. Chen stopped talking about the topic, and Mr. Chen, who was standing next to him, also gave up.
He wouldn't have said that if his wife hadn't kept nagging him. It's true, his mother only earns a little over fifty yuan a month. Without that, the family would definitely be struggling financially and life would be difficult.
I don't know what his wife was thinking.
Brother Chen is such a simpleton; that's not what his wife meant at all.
Seeing that the matter was finally over, Wang Qinzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew what awaited her if she really lost her job at the department store.
Thinking back to the days when she was unemployed, Wang Qinzhi couldn't help but shudder.
"Oh, right, Mom, Ayu sent you a letter from the countryside a while ago. It's in my room. I'll get it for you."
Upon hearing the name Ayu, Wang Qinzhi was involuntarily stunned.
A rare hint of guilt surfaced deep in his eyes.
That's true. It would be strange if they didn't feel guilty about the despicable things they did.
After doing so many immoral things, one or two less matters.
Lying in bed at night, for the sake of her work and her retirement, Wang Qinzhi came up with all sorts of ways to deal with Jiang Xixi, each one more insidious than the last.
