When Lu Jiang and Lu Hai returned home, the whole family was still awake, watching black and white TV.
As Lu Jiang and Lu Hai entered the room, Lu Hai announced happily.
"Mom and Dad, my brother and I saved a man in the commune today. He arranged a job for us, and we'll start work tomorrow and won't be participating in the autumn harvest. The team leader knows about this, and we've already gotten our employment certificates."
"What kind of job is it? How much does it cost per month?"
"I'm a truck driver for the commune, making 40 yuan a month."
Hearing about the 40 yuan monthly salary, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai's sisters-in-law asked anxiously: "Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, can you give a job to your eldest brother? You two are not married yet, so there is not much pressure, and it doesn't cost much money.
Our family is under a lot of pressure. We have four children, all in school. Two of them are already in junior high school in the commune. With so many children in school, can we not afford the tuition?
Can you two please have some pity on your brothers and nephews and nieces and give your eldest brother a job, please?"
Before Lu Jiang and Lu Hai could say anything, their second sister-in-law started talking again.
"Lu Jiang, Lu Jiang, you should also give a job to your second brother. We have three children in school, and the tuition is very expensive. We can hardly afford it.
Just give one job to your second brother. The children will go to school and be filial to you when they grow up."
Lu Jiang and Lu Hai's nephews and nieces also spoke up.
"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, I will study and grow up, and I will be filial to you."
"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle. When you have children in the future, I will help you take care of them."
"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, I will teach your children how to do their homework from now on."
"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, I will buy you Daqianmen in the future."
"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, I will buy you Moutai from now on."
When Lu Jiang and Lu Hai's third sister-in-law saw that the eldest and second sons' children were beginning to behave, she said loudly, "Lu Hai, you should give the job to your third brother. Gu Zhiqing's family is so rich, your family will not be short of money.
Besides, Gu Zhiqing's father is the director of the Beijing Steel Plant. You can ask Gu Zhiqing's father to find you another job and give this job to your third brother first.
And Gu Zhiqing's brother is an officer, the deputy head of a regiment. You can also ask Gu Zhiqing's brother to help you find a new job. You don't need a job at all, so give this job to your third brother."
When Lu Jiang and Lu Hai's fourth sister-in-law saw that the other three families had said so, she immediately said loudly: "Lu Jiang, give your job to your fourth brother. Isn't Zhang Tiantian Gu Zhiqing's good sister?
Go tell Zhang Tiantian to ask Gu Zhiqing to find you another job. You can find a job, and since your fourth brother can't find one, give this job to him."
After Lu Jiang and Lu Hai's fourth sister-in-law finished speaking, the whole family stared at Lu Jiang and Lu Hai with wolf-like eyes.
Lu Jiang asked his father and mother, "Mom and Dad, what do you think?"
"Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, Mom thinks that since you can find new jobs, you should give up this one."
"Lu Jiang, Lu Hai, Dad thinks I'll give it to your eldest and second brothers. I'll ask Ran Ran for help later and find a job for your third and fourth brothers."
Lu Hai asked his father: "Dad, are you going to write a letter to Ranran's father? Or are you going to the commune and call him?"
"What can I say? Ranran's father has helped me enough. I'm embarrassed to say it. Lu Hai, go talk to Ranran. Ranran will go to her brother and father to find a solution."
"What? Dad is Ranran's father's savior, but he's too embarrassed to say it. How can I say it? I've never even met Ranran's father. Not only did he sacrifice his own daughter, he also has to find jobs for your other sons.
Didn't you say that Ranran's father has helped you a lot? If I were to say it, would that mean he helped me? Wouldn't that mean he helped your son?
I went to find Ranran, but what could Ranran do? She was just a little girl, so she could only ask her father and brother for help. In the end, it was Ranran's father who came forward to help you.
I see you say you're sorry, but you're actually very generous when doing things. How much has Ranran's father helped you over the years?
Although you saved him, he also helped you find a doctor to treat your foot, helped you get married, sacrificed his own daughter for you, and asked the team leader to take care of you.
Take this black and white TV, for example. Who in our village has one? Only ours. There are only a few families in the entire commune that have one. Ranran's father bought one for us.
You already know you're embarrassed, and you're the one sucking their family's blood? Have you ever considered me? Ranran hasn't even married me yet, and you can't wait to get benefits from her.
How can I tell Ranran? When I meet Ranran’s brother and father in the future, how can I have the nerve to get along with them?
Sister-in-law, sister-in-law two, sister-in-law three, sister-in-law four, don't you all have your own family? Won't you ask your own family for help?
Ranran hasn't even married yet, but she's already thinking about asking her parents for help. Why should they help you? You're just a stranger to them.
Anyway, I am too embarrassed to ask Ranran for help. Dad, if you feel comfortable enough, go ask Ranran's father for help yourself. Don't mention Ranran and me when you ask Ranran's father for help.
I won't give up my job. I found it myself. If you want a job, go find it yourself. You're not disabled."
Lu Jiang looked at the angry Lu Hai and continued, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, how dare you ask Lu Hai and me for work?
