Chapter 416: New Year Holiday



As long as there is a market, there will be jobs, and there are people at the train station providing this service.

Three days later, Lin Ping called me when he got home.

"Sister, it's just as you said. Our family is so poor that we can barely make ends meet."

Lin Ping talked to him about family matters in a rambling manner, and what he said was basically consistent with what his third aunt said.

My eldest sister-in-law had a difficult delivery and almost died.

My eldest brother was worried, so he took leave and came back to take care of me.

But he took too many days off, which made his boss unhappy, so he fired him.

He is unemployed now and can only look for another one after the Chinese New Year.

All the money the family had saved was spent on the hospital. Now the family has no money at all and relies entirely on my dad's odd jobs and my mom's selling eggs to support the family.

Even after things have come to this, Ye Lian still said that it was okay, that she had money, and that she only reported good news and not bad news. Lin Yuyao didn't know what to say to her.

Ye Lian is actually a relatively traditional woman. In her opinion, asking a married daughter for money is shameful.

Her daughter marrying into the Fu family was already a move up in the family's social ladder, and she couldn't let her daughter down any longer.

Lin Yuyao felt that the opportunity had come, so she said to Lin Ping, "How can you persuade my brother to come here to work?"

"Where to? South City?"

"Yes, you said before that you wanted to be together as a family in the future. I thought about it and tried to persuade the whole family to come together, but my parents would definitely not agree."

Lin Ping agreed, "They will think that they are bringing their families to rely on you. Their parents want to save face, and they are afraid of being gossiped about."

Yes, with their personalities, they would worry that people would say that they married their daughter into a wealthy family and then took the whole family to depend on her.

"So I think we can let my eldest brother come here to work first. When he has established a firm foothold here, they will definitely be willing to come and live with their son."

"You do have some truth to your words, but I'm afraid my eldest brother might not agree. He's just like my parents, very old-fashioned."

Lin Yuyao said: "It depends on your ability."

"Hey, how can you see my ability? What can you let my brother do in South City? He is either mining or forging iron. Are you going to introduce him to a job in a steel factory?"

"What are you talking about? How much money can you make in a month at the steel factory? Let him come and learn how to drive. I will hire him as a driver to help me transport books."

She might not necessarily help her transport the books, but she knew that logistics and transportation were particularly profitable right now.

"This is a good job."

"Oh, take note of the number."

"What?"

"I'll be on vacation in a few days, so I won't be able to answer your phone calls. Please call my home."

"There's a phone at home?" Lin Ping asked in surprise.

Lin Yuyao said, "Yes, I just installed one a few days ago."

"Hi, sister, I see you really made money. We agreed before that we would not forget each other when we become rich. Now that you have made a fortune, don't forget to help me. I don't care about face, you can help me in any way you want."

Lin Yuyao was amused by him. He would be assigned a job after graduation, so why would he need her?

If he really wants to have a successful career, he should rely on his brother-in-law.

She is not on the same track as them.

"Okay, I'll remember that."

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words."

Lin Yuyao asked again: "By the way, do you know why my sister-in-law had a difficult birth?"

"I don't know yet. They didn't tell me. But I heard that my sister-in-law's parents came that day and made a big scene. That night, my sister-in-law died and was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment."

Thinking back to her previous life, after her eldest brother died unexpectedly, her parents called her back to have an abortion, and she never saw her eldest sister-in-law again.

Later I heard that her parents married her off to another place.

Did she get married and moved to another place, or was she sold to another place?

Her parents were her creditors, the parents of Yaozu, the only one in her family.

If these parents knew that their children had become rich, they would stick to them like taffy and do all kinds of things to them.

Unless you stay far away from them, you will never be able to get rid of them.

Lin Yuyao became even more determined to get the whole family out.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the holidays, and with the weekend off, Lin Yuyao gave them ten days of vacation.

"Everyone go back and have a good rest. After the New Year is over, we will do something big again."

Everyone packed up and left one after another.

Except for Lin Yuyao and Ye Xiaotong, they are all locals and naturally went back to their homes.

Song Qin looked at Lin Yuyao and said, "Yuyao, if you go shopping in the city, call me. I know where to go for fun during the New Year."

"OK."

Chen Bingzhi ran over and said with a playful smile: "Sister Song, take me with you."

Song Qin rolled her eyes at him, "You are so beautiful, why are you following a girl shopping?"

"I can help you carry your bag."

"unnecessary."

She had already put away her things, but Chen Bingzhi's desk was still messy.

"It looks like you'll have to wait a while before leaving. I'll be leaving first."

"Hey, come on, wait for me."

Chen Bingzhi packed his things in no time, carrying the army green shoulder bag that he hadn't even had time to button, and hurried to catch up with Song Qin.

Lin Yuyao's eyes fell on Ye Xiaotong who was slowly packing her things.

She put her personal belongings into her bag one by one, arranging them neatly.

Feeling that he had not put it away properly, he took it out and put it back again, his eyes full of confusion and loneliness.

Lin Yuyao knew why she was lonely. The others were all locals and had their own families, so they could spend the New Year with their families.

She and I are the only outsiders here. I have family, but she is the only one alone.

Ye Xiaotong doesn't like holidays at all, and when she has a holiday for such a long time, she doesn't know what to do.

It will be better in the future, she can use her phone to watch TV.

Now she can only stay at home alone, staring at herself in the mirror. How can she not feel uncomfortable?

"Xiaotong."

Lin Yuyao pulled the chair next to her and sat down, smiling and saying, "Let's celebrate the New Year together."

Ye Xiaotong blinked, "Will you celebrate the New Year with me?"

Lin Yuyao nodded and said, "Fu Huaiyi has to work overtime during the New Year. He comes home very late every day, and sometimes he doesn't come home at all. I am usually alone at home, which is quite boring. They all have relatives who live nearby, but we have no relatives to visit."

Even her uncle's family has gone back to their hometown, so she doesn't have any relatives left.

Ye Xiaotong pulled the corner of her mouth and revealed a faint smile, "Okay."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Then I'll ask you to go shopping with Sister Song. You can also come to me if you're bored. I'll probably be writing novels at home. I want to write more during the holidays."

Ye Xiaotong happily agreed.

The New Year is coming soon and the streets are becoming red.

The red lanterns, the red couplets posted on every household, the occasional sound of firecrackers, and the sound of toy guns are all filled with the flavor of the New Year.

On the first day of the holiday, Ye Xiaotong asked her to go to the market to buy New Year's goods.

She said that even though she was the only one in the family, she still had to celebrate the New Year.
