"Are you stupid?"
Zhang Yuxuan tapped her daughter's forehead. "Don't forget, even if I retire early, this spot is still mine, and you can go back and take my place."
Someone's eyeing my spot and trying to get it for nothing. Even though you don't plan to go back for now, how can I agree to let someone else take my spot for free?
Lin Jingyu immediately understood and said, "Mom, you're unwilling to give up your spot, so they're holding you back from approving your early retirement, right?"
"That's right, that's exactly it."
Zhang Yuxuan sneered and said, "Although I rushed over here, I know that your maternal grandparents are taking care of your sister-in-law, so nothing will happen."
So I decided to just wait and see who could outlast whom.
"It seems they're in a hurry."
Lin Jingyu raised an eyebrow. "How much money did you give me?"
"Five hundred dollars."
Zhang Yuxuan's tone was somewhat displeased, "It should have cost at least a thousand or eight hundred yuan, but in the end we gave them a discount."
"They're planning to get it for free."
Lin Jingyu shook her head. "Since they're willing to pay five hundred yuan, it's better than not paying a single penny. Besides, my dad is still working at the factory, so it's a way of giving them face."
“I’m saying it’s because your dad is honest, and we’ve taken advantage of him.”
Zhang Yuxuan gritted her teeth in anger, "If your father were more capable, who would dare to bully our family?"
"Mom, who wants your spot?"
“A relative of the vice mayor, I don’t know how he suddenly set his sights on my spot.”
"Mom works in the factory's finance department. Many people want that position, so it's not surprising that people are vying for it."
Lin Jingyu said with a hint of disdain, "But it's really shameless of them to think they can just take the spot by relying on their title as deputy mayor."
“If your dad hadn’t said to let it go, I really wouldn’t have been able to swallow this insult.”
Zhang Yuxuan's face darkened. "Five hundred yuan is practically a buy-one-get-one-free deal. I originally planned to have your third cousin take my spot."
"My third cousin is impatient and can't do accounting work."
"Are you stupid? If you can't do finance work, you can find another job."
"They're snatching your spot from you; you can't give it to your third cousin even if you want to."
Lin Jingyu comforted him, "Besides, your eldest uncle will definitely arrange a job for your third cousin, so don't worry about it."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this."
Zhang Yuxuan looked at her beloved daughter and asked, "How are you doing in the village? You haven't gone up the mountain to catch wild boars again, have you?"
“The village has a hunting team; I don’t need to get involved.”
Lin Jingyu smiled and assured her, "Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless."
"That's more like it."
Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but mention her youngest son, her tone tinged with worry, "I didn't see your brother when I passed through Hongcheng this time. I heard that the kid ran off to Heilongjiang Province."
It was chaotic everywhere, yet he dared to run around recklessly; he was practically playing with his life.
When he gets back, just let him stay home and study.
"Mom, you should discuss these things with Grandpa and Xiaonan."
“You should also talk to him. Our family doesn’t need him to risk his life.”
...
The mother and daughter talked for a while.
Lin Jingyu did not disturb her mother's rest any further.
They then found Grandpa Zhang.
Tell his family back home about the situation in the village.
Some things still need to be resolved by their elders.
Furthermore, with such a prominent figure as Mr. Peng in charge, these issues will likely receive significant attention.
They spent a day in the county town.
Then they rode back to the village in a big truck.
Zhang Wenzhuo and the others loaded the items into the car and left without stopping.
In winter, supplies are even scarcer, and they have little time to rest.
They could only keep transporting supplies around.
Lin Jingyu and others resumed their classes.
Wu Xiaoxiao seemed to be deeply in love, making it difficult to know how to offer any advice.
Both the Wu and Zhang families knew that she was dating Tian, the educated youth.
No one stopped Wu Xiaoxiao's actions; in fact, they silently supported her.
Watching her sink deeper and deeper into this situation, Lin Jingyu and Peng Shiyu were completely helpless.
In the end, we can only hope that she can escape this predicament.
"Jingyu, Shiyu, good news!"
Yang Shujue came back with more gossip, and dropped a bombshell on them as soon as she entered: "Chu Yinghua and Wang Zhiqing are getting married."
Peng Shiyu was astonished, "Really?"
"How could it be so sudden?"
Lin Jingyu immediately sensed something was amiss. "Has something happened?"
"clever!"
Yang Shujue gave her an approving look, "I heard that Chu Yinghua schemed against Wang Zhiqing."
Why did she scheme against Wang Zhiqing?
Peng Shiyu looked puzzled. "She has always liked Cheng Haifeng. I remember when Cheng Haifeng came last time, she was still trying to talk to him. How did she get involved with Wang Zhiqing again?"
"Tch, Cheng Haifeng said long ago that he didn't like her."
Yang Shujue looked disdainful. "Chu Yinghua is only somewhat pretty, but she has no ability. Even if Cheng Haifeng likes her, he would never marry her."
Don't forget that Cheng Haifeng's mother has always cared about you; how could she possibly let her into the family?
Besides, Cheng Haifeng never liked her in the first place, and he has rejected her countless times; everyone knows that.
She must have finally given up, which is why she schemed to have Wang, the educated youth, marry her.
"Everyone knows that she's been harassing Cheng Haifeng."
Peng Shiyu frowned. "How could Wang Zhiqing possibly like her? By the way, how did she scheme against Wang Zhiqing?"
"Hehe, here comes the important part."
Yang Shujue winked at them, his laughter tinged with a lewdness, "I heard that Wang, the educated youth, went to Tian's house and drank a few cups of wine there before going back."
