Grandma He was also very happy.
What are the salary and benefits like?
The He family's sons all said the treatment was good.
However, meals and accommodation are not included; you will need to pay a fee each month for the dormitory and cafeteria.
But it's cheaper than outside.
The daughters-in-law of the He family were very interested. "Why don't we give it a try too?"
One more person means one more salary.
Old Mrs. He, however, did not want them to go.
"What will happen to the children if you go?"
"How can we manage without anyone at home?"
With so many children, she couldn't possibly take care of them all by herself.
Besides, what will happen to her and her husband if they get sick without their daughters-in-law at home?
Someone still needs to stay home to take care of them.
Old Man He thought so too.
"The boss and the others stay here; you all come back with us."
“There are also people in the village who take on private jobs now, so you can do the same thing at home.”
Earning a little money for living expenses every day while taking care of the children at home is the best of both worlds.
The daughters-in-law of the He family each had their own thoughts.
Big cities are so bustling, they don't want to go back.
Besides, the side jobs at home only earn a little money.
The girls who returned from the big cities this year were all glamorous and beautiful.
Not only did she wear the most fashionable clothes, but she also curled her hair.
If they stayed in the village, they would be covered in dust and dirt for the rest of their lives.
It's better to come to a big city to work.
But I can't leave my children at home, it's a real dilemma.
The daughters-in-law discussed it with their husbands.
The husbands, however, shared the same idea as He's mother: that it was the right thing for women to do to stay home and take care of the children and the elderly.
The men can just go out and earn money.
The daughters-in-law were not very happy.
"Sheng Yueqing has also come out, so why should we stay in the village forever?"
The He brothers scolded them, saying, "Her family is here, but where is yours?"
They're from the same village and the same city, how can they be the same?
"Besides, do you have the same abilities as your sixth brother and sister-in-law?"
The daughters-in-law of the He family were unconvinced, saying, "What ability does the sixth sister-in-law have? She just stays at home lying around."
She left right after dinner today, without even spending time with them. She's clearly useless.
It's likely that Sheng Yueqing hasn't been working for a long time.
How can you go to work while taking care of a child?
When the topic of children came up, He's daughters-in-law said, "Mom, since the sixth son's wife isn't going back, why don't you just take the child back with you?"
As originally planned, take the child back and ask He Yushen for living expenses.
Old Mrs. He hesitated.
I don't think that will work.
Old Six, who adores children so much, could never be separated from them.
If I let her hold me for a bit at night, I feel so sorry for her; how could I let the child go back with her?
The daughters-in-law of the He family felt very resentful.
Why should Sheng Yueqing and her child be allowed to stay here, while they have to go back to the countryside?
They then persuaded Old Mother He to bring Sheng Yueqing back with her.
"The house for Lao Liu's family is all ready now, so she'll have a place to stay when she goes back."
"Besides, how much does it cost to stay here? Look at the Sheng family today, they're still using the things we brought to cook, so they're not exactly wealthy."
Actually, Grandma Sheng was worried that the chickens, ducks, and geese would die if left out for too long, so she disposed of them while they were still fresh.
And those local specialties I brought from the countryside, eat them quickly or they'll go bad and cause trouble.
That's why we ate their food first.
Unexpectedly, the He family misunderstood that they were poor.
But this is good, it saves them from having to borrow money.
Old Mrs. He shook her head again, "I don't think this is going to work."
She could already see how much He Yushen cared about Sheng Yueqing and the child; how could they possibly be separated?
What if they are really asked to go back, and He Yushen tries to force her to support his family of three?
The daughters-in-law of the He family were furious that she had betrayed them.
The next day they went to find Sheng Yueqing.
I want to talk to her.
"Sixth sister-in-law, your eldest brother and the others aren't going back this time, only we are. Do you want to come back with us?"
Seeing the envious and jealous looks on their faces, Sheng Yueqing chuckled, "My family is here, so of course I have to stay."
"If you don't want to leave, go apply for the job."
"Your feet are your own, and you have the right to come and go."
These words woke up the wives.
Yes, they have legs, so they can stay here if they want.
But what about the children at home?
Sheng Yueqing said, "Let them come here to study. The older ones can work part-time while studying, and the younger ones can go to schools near the factory."
As long as the couple is willing to work hard, they can still make a living.
The wives exclaimed, "Won't this cost a lot?"
Each of their families has three to five children.
Bringing them along would be too expensive to keep.
Prices are high here, but chickens, ducks, geese, and vegetables are all free in the countryside, so you don't spend much money throughout the year.
When you actually get to Shanghai, you have to buy everything.
But I'm really worried if I don't bring the child along.
The group exchanged glances and then looked at Sheng Yueqing.
That means I want to borrow money.
Sheng Yueqing took out her abacus and began to settle accounts with them.
Do as much as you are capable of.
"If I borrow from one of you, does that mean I have to borrow from the others too?"
"If you borrow it, will you be able to pay it back?"
It's highly unlikely.
"Besides, you have so many children, and you always come to borrow money whenever you need it. If I owned a bank, I wouldn't have enough to lend them all."
It's better to stand up for yourself.
You can't borrow money every time you encounter a problem.
Others need to eat too; they can't keep lending money for free every day.
And all of them are one-way trips, so who would be happy about that?
