Luo Xingci ate the eggs and sighed, "Oh, it would be great if grandma could wake up earlier. I have lost so many eggs. Grandma, give me ten yuan. You know I have grown up now and need to buy some new clothes to dress up. Otherwise, when I go out, people will say that your Luo family abused me."

In the Luo family, she was just like an old maid, but what about Luo Fangfang? She was not of the Luo family's bloodline, but the people of the Luo family spoiled her like a young lady. Not only did they let her go to school, but when she asked for money to buy new clothes, Luo Jianmin and Old Lady Luo would buy them for her without hesitation.

When she came back, not only did she have an egg to eat every day, but Old Mrs. Luo would also specially cook a bowl of rice for her. In the Luo family, not even Old Man Luo or the boys in the Luo family had this treatment, but Luo Fangfang did.

Luo Jiaze looked at the egg in her mouth and was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table. He was obviously the boy in the family, but why was there something weird at home today? Not only did they call Luo Xingci back, but they also asked her to eat eggs. What went wrong?

Or is there something behind this that he doesn't know? No, he has to find a chance to ask his grandmother and parents.

Old Lady Luo put down the bowl and said through gritted teeth, "Xingci, you know that our family is broke now, Jiaze hasn't found a girlfriend yet, and Fangfang is still in school. Everything costs money. How about grandma make one for you?"

That was ten dollars. Although she still had some money in her hand, she didn't want to spend a penny. Besides, did Luo Xingci make her worthy of wearing new clothes?

Luo Xingci knew this was the case. She said coldly, "Then let Luo Jiaze be the live-in son-in-law. He's already this old and hasn't even found a partner. It's a disgrace to the Luo family. What's the point of a girl studying so much? Now she can't take the college entrance examination. I don't know what she's doing in school. She's ranked last in the grade. What's the point of studying? I don't care. I want to see 20 yuan today, or I'll go to Luo Fangfang's school and make a scene!"

Even if she had to throw a tantrum today, she would make Old Lady Luo give her twenty yuan willingly, otherwise she would never let them go.

Wu Haixia immediately got angry when she heard this. She actually dared to go to Fangfang. That wouldn't do. Fangfang had said that there was a rich young man in the school who had taken a fancy to her and was pursuing her. What if Luo Xing expelled her from school and spread nonsense, affecting Fangfang's reputation? What would she do then?

She would never allow this to happen.

Luo Xingci knew how much Wu Haixia and the Luo family valued Luo Fangfang, so they would definitely give her the money.

really.

Old Mrs. Luo took a deep breath and smiled, "Didn't you just say ten dollars? I know I neglected you before. I'll get you ten dollars to buy some cloth so you can make it yourself."

"Grandma, you have to give me fifty dollars now. Ten dollars was the price just now."

She was so angry that the muscles on Old Lady Luo's face were twitching. "I'll give you twenty dollars."

"eighty!"

"Otherwise I'll go to school and choose for myself!" Luo Xingci said as he picked up all the dishes on the table and put them into his bowl.

In the end, Mrs. Luo gritted her teeth and gave eighty yuan with tears in her eyes. It was so painful!

"Take the money and dress up well. Don't wear those patched clothes when guests come to your house." Old Mrs. Luo thought about it carefully. Maybe if she let the little girl dress up well, the other party would give her more money for the bride price?

Luo Xingci took the money and didn't make any more trouble. She put the money in her pocket and then looked at Old Lady Luo.

"Grandma, who is the guest? Is he important?"

Old Mrs. Luo nodded, and just as she was about to pick up some food with her chopsticks, she discovered that all the food had been put into her bowl by Luo Xingci.

"Well, you have to perform well then. He's the director of the city's machinery factory." Old Mrs. Luo only said this and nothing else. She didn't intend to explain anything more to her.

Luo Xingci thought to himself, when did the Luo family know the director of the machinery factory? Who is Mrs. Luo? Not only does someone send her money every month, but now even the director of the machinery factory is coming to visit her home.

"Grandma, you are so amazing. You even know the factory director. Is he a distant relative of ours?" In order to find out the truth, Luo Xingci complimented Grandma Luo.

Old Mrs. Luo waved her hands but said nothing. This was the secret hidden deep in her heart. Even her two sons didn't know it. She would take this secret to her grave.

Upon hearing this, Luo Jianmin hated Old Lady Luo in his heart. He clearly knew the director of the machinery factory, but why didn't she ask him to give him a job? If he had a job, he would be able to eat commercial grain in the future and get a house. Then he could live in the city with his wife and children and become a city dweller.

Seeing that Old Mrs. Luo didn't want to say more, Luo Xingci didn't argue and went out after dinner.

When Luo Jianmin saw that there was no one else at home, he knocked on Mrs. Luo's door.

Old Mrs. Luo, who was counting money inside, heard the knock on the door. She was so frightened that the money in her hand fell to the ground. She immediately picked it up and hid it under the quilt, then went to open the door.

"Do you have something to say?" When Old Lady Luo saw that it was Luo Jianmin, she raised her eyelids but did not let him in.

"Mom, this is it. Do you know the director of the machinery factory? Can you ask him to find me a job, anything is fine." Then he changed the subject and continued, "If I can gain a foothold in the factory, you and dad will be able to enjoy the good life with me, and our Luo family will also soar to the sky. How much money can you earn working in the brigade? Mom, if you can't find one, can you help me ask if you can give me two jobs?"

He thought that he would have one share and Haixia would have one share, so that they would both earn nearly a hundred yuan a month. It would not be a problem to have a few more children, and they could also eat meat every meal.

Old Lady Luo slapped him on the back of his head. "I think you are just kidding. I'll give it to you if I say so. You don't think I have to give it to you, do you? You have two jobs, why don't you go to heaven?"

Although she also wanted the Luo family to eat commercial grain, she didn't want to ruin her eldest son's future. Among her three sons, the one she loved the most was the eldest son who was swapped out by her when he was young. The other two sons in the family were not as smart as the eldest son, and they didn't have as promising a future as him.

Old Mrs. Luo slammed the door shut. Luo Jianmin looked at the door that was slammed shut, glanced inside with resentment, and then strode away.

His look was noticed by Old Man Luo who had just come out of the kitchen. He frowned, opened the door and walked in, and saw Old Lady Luo sitting on the bed counting money.

Old Lady Luo raised her eyelids and glanced at him. "Jianmin just came to me and asked for two jobs. Needless to say, they were for him and Wu Haixia. I'm not the one who knows the factory director, so how can I ask for a job for him?"

She had no plans to work. If they went to work and found out her secret and saw how well her eldest son was doing, the secret might be known to many people in the future, and her eldest son would not be able to stay in that family.
