Chapter 8 Give Me Two Hundred Yuan



As Xu Miaomiao expected, Xu Jianshe became anxious when he heard that she was going to the countryside.

In Xu Jianshe's impression, his daughter couldn't even tell the difference between coriander and celery. Asking her to go to the countryside to work was like asking for death.

When Xu Jianshe heard that Xu Miaomiao had registered without telling him, he felt that he was lucky to be in good health, otherwise he would have easily suffered from high blood pressure.

Xu Jianshe was so angry that he didn't want to pay any attention to her, but Xu Miaomiao in this life was much more sensible than in the previous life. She surrounded Xu Jianshe, serving him tea and water, and asking him about his well-being. In less than a day, Xu Jianshe's unilateral cold war ended.

Then, like Grandpa and Grandma Xu, she started to worry about what to bring for her.

He even took a day off and took her to the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative to do some shopping.

When he heard that she was going to Heilongjiang Province, Xu Jianshe was afraid that she would freeze to death, so he asked someone to make her a very thick quilt.

She also bought her a blanket, thick cotton coats and trousers, and even gave her two military coats that Xu Xinghe had sent back.

From large items like washbasins and thermoses to small items like toothpaste and toothbrushes, Xu Jianshe and Xu's grandparents prepared some for her.

By the time both sides had almost prepared everything, Xu Miaomiao's notice to go to the countryside also came.

The place she went to was the Hexi Production Brigade of Hongqi Commune that she had been longing for, and her heart finally settled.

The luggage prepared for her by both families amounted to four large bags. It was obviously unrealistic to expect her to carry them all by herself on the train.

Grandpa Xu sent an orderly to drive her to the post office to mail all these things in advance.

Grandpa Xu also called his old subordinate who was the police chief in the county town over there and asked him to arrange someone to deliver it over.

When Xu Miaomiao received the notice to go to the countryside, Xu Aihong finally returned from her grandmother's house.

Although Xu Miaomiao had not gotten along with Wang Jinhua before, he was still nice to Xu Aihong.

So Xu Aihong went back and thought about it for two days, and decided to come back to coax Xu Miaomiao, so that she might be able to get the job.

"Miaomiao, you really misunderstood me and Brother Siyi..." Xu Aihong found an opportunity and moved closer to Xu Miaomiao.

Xu Miaomiao lazily lifted her eyelids and glanced at her. Too lazy to listen to her hypocritical words, she said directly, "What's the relationship between you two? It's none of my business."

"Then why did you hit me that day? Wasn't it because I was with Brother Siyi?"

Xu Miaomiao snorted disdainfully, "I hit you because you spent all my dad's money. Shouldn't I hit you for using my dad's money to support a man?"

"You don't have to act in front of me anymore. I've already received the notice to go to the countryside."

Before Xu Aihong could be happy, Xu Miaomiao added.

"But Dad has already given me that job. I can do whatever I want with it. Isn't that what you want?"

Xu Aihong thought Xu Miaomiao said this because she was willing to give her the job, but Xu Miaomiao said.

"If you give me two hundred dollars, I'll sell you this job."

Xu Aihong said pitifully, "Miaomiao, how can I have so much money?"

"That's your business. What does it have to do with me? I'm leaving in five days. You can do whatever you want."

Xu Aihong's eyes rolled and she had an idea. "Miaomiao, I don't have that much money. How about I give you ten yuan first, and when I start working, I'll transfer ten yuan to you every month?"

Xu Miaomiao laughed out loud when she heard this. "Xu Aihong, do you think everyone else is a fool except you?"

"After I leave for the countryside, even if you don't give me the money, I can't just come back and ask you for it. Don't think I can't see your plan."

Xu Aihong saw that her little thoughts were seen through at a glance, and could only say weakly, "I didn't mean that."

"I don't want to hear your nonsense. I'll give you two days. If you can't come up with two hundred yuan, then stop talking."

Xu Miaomiao was too lazy to look at her pretentious look, so she closed the door and went back to her room.

These days, whenever she has time, she goes into the space and operates the machine to harvest crops.

After a few days, her warehouse was filled with hundreds of kilograms of rice and corn.

Xu Miaomiao was not worried about whether Xu Aihong could come up with the 200 yuan. Although she and Wang Jinhua were both unemployed, Wang Jinhua had embezzled more than 200 yuan over the years.

Besides, Xu Miaomiao had no intention of selling the job to her at all. She turned around and went out to find an aunt with whom she had a good relationship and sold the job to her son who had just graduated from high school this year for 300 yuan.

The current policy in the city is that those who are unemployed must go to the countryside, so no matter how expensive the price is, there will be people who buy it, and this is considered cheap.

Xu Miaomiao took people to the textile factory to handle the formalities, and then put the three hundred yuan in the space.

There is no place safer than space right now.

===Dividing Line===

"What? Two hundred yuan? How can I afford that much money?" Wang Jinhua hesitated when she heard that she had to pay two hundred yuan to buy the job.

She is a typical egoist. She has only saved more than 230 yuan in secret over the years. If she gives out 200 yuan, wouldn't it be like asking for her life?

Seeing Wang Jinhua's performance, Xu Aihong's heart sank. "Mom, if I can't get this job, I'll be forced to go to the countryside in two months!"

"Nowadays, there are people vying for a formal job that sells for 500 yuan, but this one only sells for 200 yuan, and we've made a lot of money."

Wang Jinhua certainly knew this, but thinking about the small treasury she had saved with great difficulty, her daughter had to step aside.

Wang Jinhua said tentatively, "How about... you go to the countryside too? Xu Miaomiao has gone, so life there must not be that hard. If it were really that hard, how could the two old men of the Xu family be willing to let her go?"

After hearing what Wang Jinhua said, Xu Aihong's heart sank, but she thought that after going to the countryside, she would be like those rural women, and she was determined not to become like that.

"Mom, think about it. With this job, I can earn 23 yuan a month. Then I can give you 20 yuan. I can make my money back in less than a year."

"And if I stay in the city, I will definitely find a partner there. The bride price will definitely be more than in the countryside!"

Wang Jinhua was moved by the bright prospects her daughter described, but she still felt a little reluctant to part with the two hundred yuan.

"Didn't you say that that damn girl is good to you? Can't you tell her not to ask for money?"

Xu Aihong rolled her eyes inwardly, but still perfunctorily said, "She gave me this at a discount because of our good relationship. If I hesitate any longer, she'll sell it to someone else!"

Finally, Wang Jinhua agreed and paid the two hundred yuan. After paying the two hundred yuan, she felt pain all over her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
