"Your sister-in-law is out. I'll ask someone to bring him back."
After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he shouted towards the wing room, "Xiangcao, go find your mother."
Uncle Wang’s house is one of those adobe houses in the countryside. The kitchen is right at the entrance, and there are east and west rooms on both sides.
His four sons are all married, but have not yet separated their family, and all live in one yard.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang lived in the east room, the eldest son and his family lived in the west room, and the remaining three sons lived in the east and west wing rooms.
The Vanilla he called was his second daughter-in-law, who was more than six months pregnant. There was not much work to do in the fields right now, so she stayed at home.
"I know, Dad. I'll go right away." Vanilla responded loudly from inside the house.
She was a bit lazy because of her pregnancy, and was just lying on the kang with her eyes closed.
When she heard Wang Qiufen coming, she wanted to say hello, but she was slow and before she could go to the east room, she was sent out to find her mother-in-law.
Here, Wang Qiufen knew that her eldest brother had no say in the family, so she sat there and chatted with her uncle Wang about family matters while waiting for her sister-in-law to come back.
The Lu family's life has been getting better and better since Lu Yuan went to join the army. Brother Wang has long regretted severing ties with them.
But he was spoiled growing up and would never bow his head, let alone to his own sister.
When Lu Cheng got married, he was still thinking that if Wang Qiufen wrote to him, he would go, which would ease the relationship.
As a result, Wang Qiufen didn't notify him at all, which made him so angry that he cursed at home for a long time.
When they met by chance this time, little brother Wang just flattered himself and didn't leave. After all, he was at his eldest brother's house, not the Lu family.
But he stood there for a long time and no one greeted him. Not to mention that Wang Qiufen was his sister, but that little bastard Lu Cheng was a junior, so why didn't he say anything when he saw him?
"Ha! Lu Rongjiang is the team leader, but I don't know how he educates his children. He doesn't even say hello to his elders when he sees them."
If he didn't say anything, Wang Qiufen would have pretended he didn't exist. So who is he being sarcastic about now?
Wang Qiufen was originally angry with him, and he was also very cunning, so Wang Qiufen didn't tolerate him at all.
"Saying hello depends on who you are with. Of course you should say hello to people, but there is no need to say hello to animals. After all, animals don't understand human language."
"Who are you calling a beast?" Wang Xiaodi stood up from his stool and pointed at Wang Qiufen. "Try saying it again!"
Lu Cheng also knew what happened that year, so he didn't have a good impression of his uncle, but with Wang Qiufen around, it was difficult for him to take action to deal with him.
Even though Wang Qiufen ignored Wang Xiaodi, she would still feel bad if something happened to him.
So Lu Cheng didn't do anything to Wang Xiaodi over the years.
At this moment, Wang Xiaodi pointed at Wang Qiufen's nose, looking arrogant as if he would attack her if she said another word.
Lu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed his fingers and twisted them hard. Little Brother Wang screamed and kept cursing.
He was brought up in pampered condition, and no one dared to fight with him. Now that Lu Cheng had broken his fingers, he felt embarrassed and humiliated.
"You little bastard, you're so lawless that you dare to fight with your uncle!
I'll beat you to death, you unfilial bastard."
Wang Xiaodi slapped Lu Cheng in the face with his other hand.
Wang Qiufen was afraid that people would gossip about Lu Cheng and Wang Xiaodi if they fought, so when Lu Cheng grabbed Wang Xiaodi's hand that was about to hit him, she separated the two of them.
She stood in front of Lu Cheng, glaring at him, "I only have one brother. How can my son have an uncle? Don't try to be a relative."
Little Brother Wang rubbed his broken finger and jumped up and down, "Wang Qiufen, you are so good! Have you forgotten that Mom asked you to take good care of me before she died?
You don't even listen to your mother, you unfilial daughter."
"Don't talk about your mother to me, your three-year-old child needs someone to take care of him?
Ever since you stole my family's life-saving food and disregarded the lives of my family, I have lost you as my brother."
Seeing his younger brother and sister quarreling, Uncle Wang turned around anxiously, "Stop quarreling, stop quarreling."
But no one listened to my advice, and the argument became more and more intense. There was also a nephew standing next to them, staring at us with a fierce look, as if he was about to attack us at any moment.
Uncle Wang is having a terrible headache.
"What are you arguing about?" A loud voice drowned out the two people's voices.
Aunt Wang walked in with a sullen face. She had a fierce look to begin with, and with this sullen face she looked even more intimidating without even getting angry.
She didn't ask why, and just yelled at Wang Xiaodi, "You're so full that you have to come to my house to make a scene. Go back to your house if you have nothing to do."
Wang Xiaodi was not convinced, but it was inappropriate for him, a brother-in-law, to quarrel with his sister-in-law, so he turned around and went home to find his wife.
After sending Wang Xiaodi away, Aunt Wang put on a smiling face and took Wang Qiufen to sit down and chat about family matters.
"It's not easy to come here, don't leave at noon today, eat here."
Wang Qiufen smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't eat now. There are still a lot of things to do at home."
Her sister-in-law is fine in other aspects except that she is a bit stingy. If she and her son have a meal here, her sister-in-law will be heartbroken for three days after they leave.
"I came here today to tell you something."
Wang Qiufen told Lu Cheng and Qin An Ning that they were going to college, and then mentioned work.
"I thought that none of my nephews could do the job of driver, but the job of loading and unloading was no problem.
We country people are all strong and can definitely do the heavy lifting, so I came to ask my sister-in-law if she wants this temporary job.
When Lu Wen bought it, he spent 280 yuan. If you want it, I can make the decision. It’s still the same price.”
Aunt Wang's face flashed with pain, and she asked awkwardly, "A temporary worker still needs 280, so how much does Lu Cheng plan to charge for the driver job?"
Wang Qiufen knew her sister-in-law's character and didn't care much. She said directly, "The driver job is sold to others for 1,000, and my family gets 800. This is the biggest concession Lu Cheng can make.
My two children go to school in Beijing, and everything costs money. It’s not possible if you don’t have money.
Even if you can't help out at home, you can't let your children down. Isn't that right, sister-in-law?"
She wanted to help her mother's family, but she couldn't use her son's money to do favors. If they wanted a job, they could take the money. If they didn't want it, forget it. The Lu family wouldn't be happy to take it.
Of course, Aunt Wang knew that Wang Qiufen was pointing at her.
Come to think of it, what they said is true. If it weren't for their relatives, they wouldn't even be able to get a temporary job.
Being a driver is a good job, but her four sons all take after their stupid father, each one dumber than the other, and they really don't know how to drive a car.
"How much does a temporary worker make per month? Can I become a regular employee?"
"It's 18 yuan a month. As long as you work hard and don't make mistakes, you have a chance to become a regular employee. But you have to wait in line for a spot. It won't be immediate."
Wang Qiufen spoke clearly about this matter without hiding anything, so as to avoid trouble in the future.
