Chapter 243
"I never thought that after you gave birth to a baby, we could still sit here and eat ice cream and chat like before." Wu Qiaoer sighed.
"What's wrong with having a baby? Just because I have a baby doesn't mean I can't sit on the roadside and eat ice cream?" Ye Fuyue pretended to be speechless: "Even if I have a baby, I'm still not the same me. I can do whatever I want."
"Your mother-in-law is so good. She helps you take care of your two children so that you can go out for a walk." Wu Qiaoer said.
"That's true." Ye Fuyue admitted, "But I'm fine too. When my mother-in-law wants to go for a walk, she can go for a walk, and I just need to look after the baby."
Wu Qiaoer took a bite of the ice cream and said, "Cream ice cream is delicious, especially the one you treated me to, it's even more delicious."
"Just eat as much as you want. I'm not the same person I used to be. I can afford to treat you to as many ice creams as you want!" Ye Fuyue patted her chest, looking very proud.
Wu Qiaoer glanced at her, then suddenly sighed and said, "I gave the job to my brother."
Ye Fuyue suddenly realized: "It's that time of year again to go to the countryside."
"Yeah!" Wu Qiaoer looked at the blue sky. "At first, I didn't have to go to work, so I relaxed for a few days. But after a while, I got bored. You see, I graduated from high school after all, but I don't even have a job. I can only sit around at home. How boring!"
"Even if you don't have a job, Xiang Jialiang can still support you."
"I can support him, but I just feel like I'm completely worthless." Wu Qiaoer said, "What was the point of us working so hard to graduate from high school?"
"It's to delay going to the countryside. Otherwise, as soon as we graduate from junior high school and don't have a job, we will have to go to the countryside." Ye Fuyue said bluntly.
Wu Qiaoer sighed again: "That's right."
"If you feel bored, just take out your old textbooks and review them, just in case they come in handy." Ye Fuyue said.
"What's the point of reviewing that knowledge?"
"You never know, maybe it will come in handy someday, so we should not lose the knowledge we learned before. Whether we are busy or not, we should take it out and review it from time to time." Ye Fuyue suggested.
Wu Qiaoer nodded, not knowing whether she had really heard it or not.
"Anyway, I will take out our old textbooks from time to time to review them." Ye Fuyue added meaningfully.
Wu Qiaoer nodded again and said nothing.
Ye Fuyue suddenly thought of something: "You've heard about the Xiangyang Furniture Factory recruiting, right?"
"I've heard of that, but aren't they only hiring carpenters?"
Ye Fuyue touched her chin and said, "Before, Director Chen of Xiangyang Furniture Factory asked me if I wanted to work there, but I refused. I was thinking, I'm a big contributor to Xiangyang Furniture Factory, right? If I ask Director Chen to arrange a job for you, it should be possible."
Wu Qiaoer perked up: "Is it really possible?!"
But soon, she added, "Forget it. Director Chen asked you to work at his factory because he saw your ability and was willing to arrange a job for you. If you let Director Chen arrange a job for me, it would be a huge favor. Everyone knows how hard it is to get a job these days."
"Let's give it a try. It would be the best if it can be arranged, but it doesn't matter if it can't." Ye Fuyue made up her mind.
It was just a matter of mentioning it to Director Chen, and there was no loss for her.
"Okay. But don't put too much pressure on yourself and feel that you must get a job for me." Wu Qiaoer specifically reminded him.
"I know." Ye Fuyue smiled at her.
It was because Wu Qiaoer had a good relationship with her. If it were someone else, she wouldn't even bother to try.
After eating the ice cream, he chatted with Wu Qiaoer for a while, and then the two parted ways.
Ye Fuyue wanted to rush back to help Chen Guifeng make lunch. Otherwise, Chen Guifeng would be very tired taking care of two children and making lunch at the same time.
Ye Fuyue returned to the slum, and before she even reached the door of the Shen family, she saw two familiar figures - Ye's father and Ye's mother.
Ye's father and mother were not at the Shen family's house, but at the door of the Wu family, arguing with Ye Fuyun and Zhou Jinmei.
"Fuyun is the daughter we raised. She should be filial to us and support us! Since she married into your Wu family, she has only returned to her parents' home once. She didn't go back to her parents' home, isn't it your Wu family who instigated her behind the scenes?" Mother Ye said like a shrew with her hands on her hips.
"Bah - we don't care whether Ye Fuyun returns to her parents' home or not! When she married our Long Fei, she didn't even have a dowry. What's the difference between you and selling your daughter! You sold your daughter at that time, and now you remember her and ask her for money? I just have one thing to say, Ye Fuyun has no money! She doesn't even have a job, where does she get the money from!" Zhou Jinmei said louder than Ye's mother.
"How dare you say we didn't give a dowry?" Ye's mother said, "How much did you bring as a betrothal gift? We raised Ye Fuyun, and the betrothal money was not enough! With such a small amount of betrothal money, you still want us to sell our daughter to your Wu family, so that she doesn't have to care about our life or death?!"
There were still some wounds on Ye's father and mother's faces and bodies that had not faded.
Ever since being forced to sever ties with Ye Fuyue by publishing in the newspaper, Ye's father and mother have been worried about what would happen to Ye Yu's job.
After much thought, they could only go to Ye Fuyun to ask for money.
If Ye Fuyun paid more, maybe they could smooth things over and see if they could arrange a job for Ye Yu at the Xiangyang Furniture Factory. If Ye Fuyun paid less, they could use the money to pay off some of their foreign debts, so that the creditors wouldn't come knocking on their door from time to time.
Ye's father and mother came to the slum to look for Ye Fuyun in high spirits. Ye Fuyun insisted that he had no money and even pulled Zhou Jinmei out.
So the two families started arguing.
Zhou Jinmei was so angry that she suddenly saw Ye Fuyue coming over.
She pointed at Ye Fuyue and yelled at Ye's parents, "If you want money, go ask Ye Fuyue! She's your oldest child, and she should be the one raising you. Besides, the Shen family is much richer than ours, so she'll definitely be able to give you money!"
Ye Fuyun nodded repeatedly.
Ye's father and mother followed the direction of Zhou Jinmei's finger and saw Ye Fuyue. Their expressions changed slightly.
Now, when they saw Ye Fuyue, they thought of the painful and terrifying days when they were beaten with sacks. Even the wounds on their bodies began to hurt.
Father Ye retracted his gaze and said in feigned anger, "She is an unfilial child! We have already severed ties with her in the newspaper!"
