Chapter 184: Breach of Trust
Afterwards, she handed all the files to Director Shao as if she no longer cared about the matter.
It was he who led the investigation of the case back then, so it would be only natural to hand it over to him now.
Bai Jing's careful handling made Director Wu unable to understand her thoughts for a moment.
He asked around, but in the end he got nothing out of it.
But he also knew that he had broken his promise to Bai Jing, and he was afraid that what he wanted would not succeed.
However, he still met Bai Jing before leaving.
Bai Jing was still the same as Zhi, respecting those who should be respected and keeping a distance from those who should be kept a distance from.
When Director Wu mentioned asking her to go to City A again, Bai Jing sternly rejected him and said that she was just a contract worker and might change jobs when she had the opportunity in the future.
After hearing this, Director Wu knew that he was being disliked.
It was he who broke his promise, so it was not her fault.
"Oh." After sighing, Director Wu took the initiative to leave.
While Bai Jing was waiting, she first found a job for her uncle, also in a paper factory, for which she spent three hundred yuan. The paper factory had not had any job openings recently, so she had no chance to take the exam even if she wanted to.
I do hard labor and my salary is higher than that of my second and third aunts, so I can support the family. I just don't know if my eldest uncle will bring his wife and children over. After all, life in the city is not easy.
As for her uncle, Bai Jing couldn't make up her mind for a while. The main reason was that her uncle was about the same age as her, and if he wanted to find a job, she didn't know what kind of job to find for him.
"Xiao Jing, your uncle wants to rent a house near the factory and bring your aunt and her family over. Your grandfather and I don't have the skills to help your uncle much, so we wanted to trouble you to help him find a suitable place."
That day, when everyone was eating, grandma suddenly brought up this matter at the table.
Bai Jing didn't think it was a big deal. She had no problem helping her aunt find a job, but she wouldn't pay for it.
After all, she still understood the principle of "a little kindness, a peck of rice, a grudge". Her aunt was not like her second and third aunts, who were the kind of person who could never get enough of taking advantage of others.
Once it starts, it will never end.
At most, she can help share the responsibility of caring for the elderly.
As for the rest, there is nothing we can do.
"Uncle, have you made up your mind?" Bai Jing did not answer her grandmother's question immediately, but looked at her uncle.
She just didn't understand. If her uncle had really made up his mind, why didn't he come and tell her in person, but let her grandmother do it?
Does he want to rent a house and let me pay for it?
Life in the countryside was hard, but she didn't believe it.
My uncle was still eating the rice in his bowl after my grandmother spoke. Only when Bai Jing pointed at his head did he put down his chopsticks.
He looked at Bai Jing with difficulty, "I think your aunt and the children are not doing well in the village. Your aunt is worried about me being alone outside."
With just these two sentences, Bai Jing understood what his uncle was thinking.
However, her heart also grew cold.
If it wasn't for her younger uncle, she wouldn't have found a job for her older uncle. What's the point now?
Do you still want to rely on me?
"Renting a room is no problem. Just go to the street office and ask. You're a paper factory worker, so there are vacancies, but they won't be very big. If you don't mind, I can take you to the street office to ask."
Otherwise, she doesn't plan to get involved.
Luo Chunhua also understood what her elder brother meant.
But she didn't say anything, and the smile on her face wasn't as genuine anymore.
The grandparents felt very embarrassed when they saw that their eldest son's scheming was almost written all over his face.
But there is no other way. Life in the village is really difficult. If the eldest brother's family can leave the village, they will naturally be happy.
So the two old men said to Bai Jing with a serious face: "Xiao Jing, we know this makes things difficult for you, but don't worry, just help your uncle find a house. Let them figure out the money issue themselves. If they don't want to, then forget about the job. He didn't even give me the money to buy a job anyway."
Grandpa's words were also directed at his own son.
The smile on my uncle's face faded. He looked at his biological father and said, "Dad, where do I get the money?"
"Hmph, if you don't have money, don't even think about these things. When you have money, bring your wife and children to the city. Now work hard to pay back Xiaojing's money as soon as possible." Three hundred yuan, you might not be able to earn that much in the countryside for several years.
My uncle never expected that his own father would say this to him. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Grandma sighed and said, "You should go back and discuss this with your wife first. We will go back with you. Your sister has many children at home, and we don't have any food with us. It's not good to stay here all the time."
She understood what her son was planning. He wanted to take advantage of his elder sister because she was having a good life.
But you don’t even think about what you did back then, how can you have the face to do that?
Whenever she thinks of her daughter's past life, the grandmother can't stop crying.
"Mom." The uncle didn't expect that his mother didn't want the eldest sister's family to help him. It was only three hundred yuan, and the younger sister's family could earn it back in a few months. It would take a year for his salary to pay it back.
Because my uncle does hard labor, he earns 35.5 yuan a month, which is higher than Father Bai's salary.
To be honest, I can pay back the three hundred yuan within a year.
It just depends on whether he is willing to endure this hardship.
"It's decided, needless to say. We've been here for quite some time, and it's delayed quite a bit of work."
The grandmother didn't want to embarrass her daughter, nor did she want her daughter to suffer because of her son.
Everyone has their own destiny.
If my son really doesn't have this blessing, it would be the same if he lived in the village.
My uncle is shy. In fact, they planned to bring their own food when they came here, but my sister-in-law didn't want to, saying that there was no need to eat themselves when going to their daughter's house.
Anyway, what he said was very unpleasant.
But he still took his own private money with him.
I planned to give it to my elder sister when I left, just to supplement my own food rations.
He doesn't have the ability to give everything to the whole family.
When he returns to the village, he will go to the mountains to find some mountain products to sell and then give them to his elder sister.
Seeing that no one spoke up for him, the uncle stopped talking and waited until he returned to discuss it with his wife before making any plans.
Bai Jing didn't know what her uncle was thinking, otherwise, in order to avoid trouble, she wouldn't help her uncle buy the job.
Fortunately, grandma said this when everyone had almost finished eating, otherwise, Bai Jing would definitely be hungry at night.
In the kitchen.
Luo Chunhua looked at her daughter who was lighting the fire, with an apologetic look in her eyes: "Xiao Jing, your uncle was not like this before. When we were little, he was very protective of us siblings."
She couldn't say that she would not help her eldest brother, but she was even more unable to help her uncle's family with all her strength.
"Xiao Jing, people can't rely on others all their lives. Let's just leave it like this with your uncle. If they want to visit us, then we'll visit. If not, forget it. Just consider it as repaying him for protecting your mother when you were little."
Luo Chunhua felt very uncomfortable after making such a decision, but she had been through a lot and was unwilling to ruin her current good life.
Just think of her as selfish.
