Chapter 248
"Yiyi, it's not that mom doesn't want to introduce you to a good guy. Mom wishes you could find the best gay man in the world. But you have to understand your own situation! You're divorced, so you can basically only go on blind dates with divorced gay men. Mom doesn't want you to get married and become a stepmother. I don't want any of those divorced gay men with children. The guy I asked you to go on a blind date with is the most suitable gay man for you that the matchmaker can find. It's just that you've gone on blind dates with so many and you haven't found anyone you like. Your reputation has gotten a bad rap. People say you're too picky, and fewer and fewer people are willing to act as a matchmaker for you." Aunt Xie said earnestly.
"What's wrong with me being picky? Apart from being divorced, what's wrong with me? I'm not bad looking, so why should I settle for someone like Lao Zhao?" Yao Yi said with bloodshot eyes.
"The key is that if you don't get married, you will have to go to the countryside! Mom doesn't want you to go to the countryside! Your family can't buy you a job, so you can only get married! Do you want to go to the countryside?" Aunt Xie said anxiously.
"I don't want to go to the countryside, and I don't want to marry someone like Lao Zhao! I..." Yao Yi glanced at Zhong Lan and Yao Hong, who had been silent, and said what she had planned long ago: "If Dad doesn't want to give me the job, let my brother give it to me. After this period of time, when the hype of going to the countryside has died down, I will give the job back to my brother."
Zhong Lan's heart sank. She knew Yao Yi would plot against Yao Hong.
Yao Yi has always been selfish. She said she would return the job to Yao Hong after this period of time. If Yao Yi said she would not return it at that time, Yao Hong would have to bear the loss secretly and would not be able to do anything to her.
Zhong Lan secretly tugged at the corner of Yao Hong's clothes.
Yao Hong immediately thought of what Zhong Lan had told him before, and said righteously, "No. I have to support my family, my wife and my daughter. If I give you the job, how will I support my family?"
"I don't really want your job. I just want a transition. Once this turmoil in the countryside is over, I will return the job to you." Yao Yi said.
Yao Hong hesitated. If it was just a temporary solution, it wouldn't be a problem.
Yao Yi was his sister after all, and they had grown up together. He couldn't completely ignore Yao Yi.
Father Yao and Aunt Xie also thought that Yao Yi's method was feasible.
The most urgent thing was to prevent Yao Yi from going to the countryside this time. If Yao Yi really couldn't find a suitable person to marry, she could pretend to have a job and avoid going to the countryside this time, and then return the job to Yao Hong, which would solve the problem.
Seeing that Father Yao and Aunt Xie both looked thoughtful and didn't speak for a long time, Zhong Lan knew that they probably thought Yao Yi's method was good.
Zhong Lan sneered in her heart and said, "In that case, why don't Dad give the job to Yao Yi and let Yao Yi take over for a while? It will be the same. Yao Hong still has to support Zao'er, so he can't be without a job."
"Your dad's salary is so high, but Yao Hong's salary is just a few dollars. Your dad gave the job to Yiyi, and what do we eat and drink? Yao Hong has to support the family, so your dad doesn't have to?!" Aunt Xie shouted in disagreement.
Yao's father also frowned in disapproval.
"Zhong Lan, you must be hoping that I will go to the countryside so that no one will bother you at home from now on." Yao Yi stared at Zhong Lan sinisterly.
Zhong Lan's expression remained unchanged as she continued, "Yao Hong pays the family allowance every month. If he gives the job to Yao Yi, does that mean the family is planning to support our family of three? Mom, you always complain about me not making enough money. If Yao Hong never works and just stays at home playing every day, won't you feel uncomfortable? Won't Yao Yi be dissatisfied with her brother and his family of three still having to rely on her for support?"
"Besides, Factory One is a large factory with thousands of employees. It's not like Yao Hong gave the job to Yao Yi today and Yao Yi can just give it back to Yao Hong easily. Would Factory One allow us to do this? Will they think we don't take the factory seriously enough?"
"Even if Yao Yi uses this method to avoid going to the countryside this year, what about next year? Will he use this method again next year? Will Factory One really agree then? Will it implicate Yao Hong instead, making Factory One think he doesn't take his job and the factory seriously?"
Yao Hong also reacted at this time.
Yes, it was easy for him to give the job to Yao Yi. But what if, after a few months, the factory didn't agree with Yao Yi giving him the job again, thinking that it was too frivolous of them to give it back and forth like this? Then wouldn't he be out of work and have to rely on others for his livelihood?
Moreover, what if Yao Yi took his job and didn't return it to him in order not to go to the countryside next year?
"Zhong Lan has a point." Yao Hong said, "Mom, the No. 1 Factory is a big one. How can we afford to give jobs back and forth like this? You said Dad has to support the family, and I have to support the family too. My salary isn't as high as Dad's, but at least it's enough for me to pay for the family expenses and support the family. If I give the job to Yao Yi temporarily, how will I support the family? Am I going to rely on Yao Yi to support Zhong Lan, Zao'er, and me?"
Father Yao and Aunt Xie hesitated again.
They were mainly worried. What if Yao Hong gave the job to Yao Yi, and the factory didn't agree, and Yao Yi gave the job back to Yao Hong? What would happen to Yao Hong's family? They couldn't really rely on them to support them forever!
Yao Yi is the apple of their eye, and so is Yao Hong!
When Yao Yi saw that Father Yao and Aunt Xie were silent, she knew that they had taken Yao Hong's words to heart.
She got anxious and yelled, "I don't really want Yao Hong's job! I even despise his job! I just want him to give me the job temporarily so I don't have to go to the countryside!"
Yao Hong said seriously, "Yao Yi, the factory is not like home. What we say is what we do. Everything must be done according to the factory's rules and regulations. I know you look down on my job, but if I give you the job temporarily, and the factory doesn't agree to give it back to me later, what should I do? What about Zhong Lan and Zao'er? In the factory, you can't just yell a few times and expect others to listen to you. Even for an old worker like Dad, the factory doesn't do what he says."
"That's right." Yao's father put his hands behind his back and nodded in agreement. "Your brother still has to support the family. He can't really lose his job. Your method isn't very reliable."
Yao Yi was furious.
It's all Zhong Lan's fault! If it weren't for her dirty talk, maybe her father and brother would have agreed to her plan!
Yao Yi glared at Zhong Lan sinisterly, then yelled at Yao's father, Yao Hong, and the others, "What are you talking about? Unreliable! You just don't care about my life or death, you don't want me to be well, you wish I would go to the countryside or marry an ugly guy like Lao Zhao! You just want to force me to death—fine, I'll die in front of you!"
Yao Yi finally shouted, turned around and rushed out of the house.
