Brother Jiang and his younger brother, along with their wives, soon arrived at the place they had agreed upon with Jiang Ci, full of excitement.
Sister-in-law Jiang didn't have much of an impression of this younger sister. She only vaguely remembered that she was good at studying, had her own opinions but not many, and had no presence at home.
But impressions are just impressions; when you actually see it again, it's a completely different experience.
When Sister-in-law Jiang saw Jiang Ci, she couldn't take her eyes off her.
Today, Jiang Ci wore navy blue pants, a white cotton shirt, and a matching jacket that reached her thighs. She looked calm and trustworthy.
Her clothes were spotless, without a single patch. Jiang Ci's face was fair, and although she was already twenty-eight, there wasn't a single wrinkle on her face. Her skin was firm, like that of a young woman in her early twenties, and her light brown eyes were bright and spirited.
Then think about yourself in the mirror: a sallow face, eyes dulled by mechanical work, and clothes with cuffs and crotches patched countless times and faded from washing.
Sister-in-law Jiang gritted her teeth.
Both of them graduated from high school, and Jiang Ci even went to the countryside as an educated youth. Why is she doing better than her?
She glanced at her younger brother and sister-in-law again and saw that their eyes were full of envy as they looked at Jiang Ci, which eased her sense of imbalance.
Although Jiang's mother favored her younger brother, she treated his wife very badly. She made all the clothes and other chores for the family.
Sister-in-law Jiang took a breath, a smile appeared on her face, and she quickly went to greet her.
"Second Sister! You're here so early!"
"It's almost noon, let's go eat, let's go eat!" Jiang Xiaodi said immediately.
Jiang Ci glanced at Jiang Xiaodi and said, "You really should treat me to a meal."
Jiang Xiaodi, who was thinking of getting Jiang Ci to pay, choked up.
He looked at Brother Jiang.
Brother Jiang is glaring at him.
Why bring up eating when we're doing something perfectly fine!
It's a waste of money!
Brother Jiang forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes, you went to so much trouble to help us find jobs, how could we not thank you?"
Sister-in-law Jiang grabbed Brother Jiang and glared at Little Brother Jiang.
It was Jiang Xiaodi who suggested it, so why should they pay?!
She's not paying!
Jiang Xiaodi scoffed coldly.
Now he's talking big, why didn't he mention it first?
Jiang Ci seemed oblivious to the underlying conflict between the two companies, and comfortably chose the best-tasting restaurant nearby, which also had very reasonable prices.
Brother Jiang pulled his younger brother aside and said, "Second Sister is helping us find jobs, so we'll each take half of this meal."
"Why should I take half from you? You said you wanted to thank me, I didn't say that," Jiang said directly.
Jiang's mother spoiled her younger brother, but Jiang's older brother didn't. He sneered and said, "Fine, then don't eat and get out of here."
Jiang Xiaodi said, "I'm not leaving, big brother. You were able to come to Beijing with Mom. If I hadn't stopped you, do you think your family would have been able to come?"
"I won't give up what's rightfully mine to eat."
Seeing him take food and drinks and even threaten him, Brother Jiang's anger intensified.
He had serious business to attend to today, took a deep breath, refrained from his outburst, and turned to enter the restaurant.
Jiang Xiaodi sneered.
If he had known his older brother would compete with him, he would have urged Mom not to bring his older brother!
From childhood to adulthood, no one in the family has ever been able to snatch anything from him!
Jiang Xiaodi followed.
While they were arguing outside, Jiang Ci also got to know the personalities of the two brothers' wives.
Before coming to Beijing, Sister-in-law Jiang also worked in a textile factory, the same factory as her husband. Sister-in-law Jiang really wanted to work in Beijing and kept asking Jiang Ci about things in Beijing.
There's also the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Jiang Ci used the same old excuse, saying that their department had a recruitment plan, and if you wanted to join, you should study and take the exam.
Sister-in-law Jiang saw this as an opportunity and, beaming with joy, asked Jiang Ci to get her some information.
Jiang Ci smiled and agreed.
She was also clever, and began to inquire about Jiang Ci's family situation, "You and your brother-in-law have been married for so long, you must have children by now, right? We, as the aunts, haven't prepared anything special."
Jiang Ci said, "They have heavy academic workloads, so they can't go anywhere for the time being."
"By the way, didn't you bring your child to Beijing as well? Then you need to find a school for your child quickly. Have you rented a house yet? Students who are not registered in Beijing will have to pay a school selection fee if they want to attend school."
Sister-in-law Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and she said with a troubled expression, "Not yet, how can a house be so easy to rent?"
"Second sister, do you know where there are good houses to rent?"
Jiang Ci shook her head honestly, "I don't know."
Jiang's sister-in-law waited for what would happen next, while Jiang Ci, seemingly oblivious to her thoughts, simply looked at her.
The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
In the end, it was Sister-in-law Jiang who couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up, "Second Sister, we're new to Beijing and don't know anything. Could you help us find a place to live?"
“No.” Jiang Ci shook her head. “I’m very busy with work. I took the day off today and I don’t have time to go out.”
Sister-in-law Jiang: ...
She really didn't expect Jiang Ci to reject her so directly, and Jiang's sister-in-law was a little embarrassed.
Jiang Xiaodi's wife had never seen Jiang Dasao so embarrassed, and she couldn't help but laugh at her in her heart.
After mocking them, they started worrying about their own families.
If Jiang Ci can't help, where will they stay?
When Brother Jiang and Little Brother Jiang returned one after the other, Jiang Ci glanced at them and said, "Now everyone is sending people to do business. You all know the employment situation. It's already very difficult for everyone to keep a job."
“A hospital I know is hiring right now. They said they can hire one or two people. You guys can go check it out.”
"Seventy yuan a month, plus heatstroke prevention and cooling expenses and other subsidies, it can easily reach one hundred yuan."
Brother Jiang and Little Brother Jiang's eyes immediately lit up.
so much!
And it happened in a hospital!
This is a great job!
Brother Jiang and Little Brother Jiang looked at their wives and laughed excitedly.
Jiang Ci tapped the table and said, "I'll say it again, there will only be one or two people. If both of you are hired, that's great. But if only one of you is hired, don't blame me for not helping you find jobs. I can't make decisions for the hospital."
The four of them nodded in unison, "We all understand, we all understand!"
"Second sister, since you've helped us find jobs, could you also help us find apartments?"
Jiang Xiaodi said with a grin, "We've been staying in the guesthouse for so long, and you haven't paid for it. It's all our money being spent. Our family isn't well-off, and we can't afford to spend like this."
Jiang Ci looked at him indifferently and said casually, "How about I eat for you, sleep for you, and go out and play for you?"
Brother Jiang and his wife couldn't help but laugh mockingly.
Jiang Xiaodi's expression changed several times. "Second Sister, you really know how to joke."
He didn't mention asking Jiang Ci to help him find a house again.
