Volume 1 Chapter 619 Ma Lixiang's helplessness and request
The eldest son has two other sons in his family. Both sons are studying and will start their own families in the future, so they have money everywhere.
"The person in charge is an important position. She will be in charge of all the stores in Hai City."
"At least 300 yuan a month, plus a commission of 0.5% of all store sales."
"Our store in Kyoto has a monthly turnover of at least 40,000 to 50,000."
"I'm planning to open seven branches in Hai City now. For such a big thing, the person in charge has not yet been decided."
When Commander Wu's eldest daughter-in-law heard that Commander Wu was going to open seven stores, she calculated the cost and was shocked.
Not to mention her being shocked, everyone present was surprised. If a store has a minimum revenue of 40,000, that means they can get a commission of 200 per month.
With seven stores, wouldn’t that mean a total of 1,400 commissions per month, plus a base salary of 300, a total of 1,700!
This is still calculated based on the lowest standard. If business is good, how much money will it make per month...
Even if it's not good, at least there is a basic salary of 300 yuan. Where does this state-owned enterprise get 300 yuan a month!
Even Commander Wu only makes 400 yuan a month, and this is the result of Commander Wu's hard work over so many years.
Commander Wu's eldest daughter-in-law (Ma Lixiang) opened her mouth, but when she saw the look in her mother-in-law's eyes, she closed it.
Naturally, this matter needs to be discussed in person, rather than talking about it now.
"The younger generation of the Gu family is truly outstanding. Political Commissar Gu, you are so lucky."
When Uncle Gu heard Commander Wu’s praise, he raised his chin proudly.
"No, no, Commander Wu's children are not bad either."
Both sides flattered each other. They were old comrades-in-arms, and everyone knew the little pride and thoughts in the other's heart.
Although Commander Wu did not agree with his eldest daughter-in-law quitting such a good job, he knew what was more important.
Given his granddaughter's situation, he needs money to support her, and his family's current situation is not good, with everyone keeping an eye on his position.
He also needs to get on board the Gu family. The arrival of the third grandson's wife of the Gu family is a good start.
After having a meal at Commander Wu's house and chatting for a while in the living room, she followed Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu back home.
Sheng Wanyan stayed in the military district’s family compound that night. After the others left, Commander Wu’s family sat in the living room to discuss the matter.
"Boss, what do you think?"
"Mom and Dad, I have discussed this with Xiang'er, and she will come to visit tomorrow."
"If possible, I will sell the military job to my brother and sister-in-law."
Commander Wu and the commander's wife looked at each other, feeling regretful but also relieved.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, the children need the money, and the family needs to be taken care of. As parents and children, we should make this choice."
Commander Wu nodded. He knew that this position would be given to his eldest son in the future, so naturally he hoped that his eldest son and his family would make the same choice.
Being able to board the Gu family's boat, they no longer have to live in fear, fearing that they might be found guilty by accident.
"That's fine, just make your decision as a couple."
Commander Wu and his wife had no objections. The next day, the commander's wife took a rest and went shopping with Ma Lixiang and paid a visit.
Sheng Wanyan stayed in the military district’s family compound to rest just to wait for Ma Lixiang’s arrival, and sure enough, she came to visit in the afternoon.
Everyone in the family went to work, leaving only her and Gu Jinshou at home. Gu Jinshou knew that she wanted to talk about something, so he went back to his room consciously.
"Mrs. Commander Wu, Ms. Ma."
Sheng Wanyan greeted her, and the commander's wife hurried forward and grabbed her hand, speaking in a very loving tone.
"Good boy, I have known your uncle and aunt for decades. Just call them aunt. No need to be so polite."
"Okay, Aunt Wu."
Ma Lixiang greeted her and after sitting down, Commander Wu and Ma Lixiang were also very straightforward.
"These are just some little gadgets. You young people will definitely like them."
"Aunt, this is too expensive."
The things Commander Wu's wife brought were not cheap. There was a set of skin care products that had always belonged to Commander Wu's wife, and she was reluctant to use them, so she gave them to her.
There are also some things that were bought outside, many of which are pastries and vanishing cream.
"It's not expensive. I just want something. I really..."
"Child, please help my granddaughter."
Mrs. Wu, the commander's wife, stood up and bowed to her, lowering her posture very low.
Commander Wu’s wife is a sailor who has been through life and death for so many years, shedding blood and tears but never cried.
With her own status in this military region and in Haishi, she doesn't even have to bow her head and beg for help.
But for the sake of her granddaughter, this was the first time she asked a younger generation for help.
"Aunt, what are you doing?"
Sheng Wanyan quickly helped Commander Wu's wife up. She wanted a national hero to bow to her, which was simply shortening her life!
"Child! Auntie really has no other choice."
With red eyes, Ma Lixiang walked forward to support her mother-in-law. After helping her up, she knelt in front of Sheng Wanyan.
"Comrade Sheng! I..."
Sheng Wanyan was a little confused. Why did these things happen one after another?
"Hurry up, don't be like this, let's talk about it."
"Sit down, sit down."
Sheng Wanyan helped Ma Lixiang up and asked them to sit down and talk properly, and not to kneel down at every turn.
Commander Wu's wife and daughter-in-law Ma Lixiang both had red eyes. Sheng Wanyan went to pour two glasses of water and they calmed down.
"My child, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Commander Wu's wife still paid great attention to etiquette at this time. She felt ashamed for being so ignorant of the rules in front of the younger generation.
"Auntie, you are too kind."
"Auntie, Comrade Ma, let's talk about what's going on."
"Ai!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law recovered their composures for a while before telling the story.
"Comrade Sheng, you want to come and see my daughter's condition."
When Ma Lixiang thought of her sick daughter, her heart ached.
She is a mother. She carried her child for ten months and gave birth to him with her life. Seeing her child suffer like this, she felt like her heart was stabbed several times.
Sheng Wanyan nodded. The child was indeed weak and was a premature baby, not to mention the world situation in recent years.
It is impossible to replenish your body and receive proper treatment like in later generations. No matter how you replenish your body these days, it is impossible to recover.
What's more, she always felt that the child was not just a premature baby. After all, he was six years old and his face was pale.
"To be honest...Xiaoxuan has a congenital heart disease."
"I can't do strenuous exercise or heavy work. I have to rely on medication every day, otherwise I will faint and my condition will worsen."
"We lied to others that it was due to premature birth, but this disease has consumed all our family savings."
"The subsequent treatment will cost a lot of money. I really... can't do anything about it."
When Sheng Wanyan heard what Ma Lixiang said, she felt a little sorry for the well-behaved child.
