That afternoon, the man waited for Yu Yuehua on her way back to the village.
Upon seeing Yu Yuehua, he rushed over and gave her a "loving greeting" halfway there.
They pretended to be angry and said, "You, Yu Yuehua, how could you keep such a big thing from us? Tell me, how should you be punished?"
Yu Yuehua could only stand at attention, smiling obsequiously, and take the beating.
After all, he knew in his heart that working in the commune was something that would attract a lot of envy.
The saying goes, "Things are accomplished in secrecy, and ruined by leaks," and he had a firm grasp on this principle.
The Yu family kept this matter very secret. The whole family, even the youngest son Maodan, kept quiet and didn't tell anyone that Yu Yuehua was going to work at the commune.
When the villagers finally found out, even though they were all extremely envious, they could only stare helplessly.
Yu Hai, in particular, felt that the job should have been his family's upon hearing the news.
What a big face!
In his mind, his elder brother Yu Shan was already the brigade leader, which was at least an official position, so this job in the commune should rightfully be given to his son Yu Yuehe.
That's what fairness is all about.
But now the older brother has secretly given this job to his son, and he's even keeping an eye on him, hahaha!
Enraged, Yu Hai kicked the courtyard wall of Yu Shan's house several times.
The mere thought of it being a government job made his resentment towards Shan almost tangible.
When Aunt Yu found out, she was furious. Seeing Yu Hai walk in from outside, she complained, "Is he really your own brother?"
"Isn't it just a job?"
"She kept it a complete secret even from her own younger brother!"
Yu Hai sat in the chair with a gloomy expression, afraid that he would steal his job!
Hmph, since you're so wary of him, then I'll just take it anyway!
Did he think that by letting that brat Yuehua go to work, he couldn't do anything about that job?
hehe!
If Yu Hai wanted it, wouldn't he get it?
Yu Hai glanced at his parents' room, and during the meal, he embellished his story about work.
Without a second thought, the two elders replied, "Don't worry, we'll go over and talk to you tonight."
"He's the older brother, and he doesn't even think of you when something like this happens. What kind of older brother is he!"
So, without wasting a minute, that very evening, the old man and woman naturally approached Yu Yuehua and asked him to give up his job to Yu Yuehe.
Moreover, the reason given was even more ridiculous: "We're all family, and the older brother is scheming against his own younger brother. Consider this job compensation for Yu Hai."
When Xie Yan found out about this, he was so angry he almost laughed.
He hurriedly asked Yu Yuehua, "What did Father say?"
Yu Yuehua sighed helplessly. What else could her father do to respond?
He just sat there, silently puffing on his cigarette, without saying a word.
Whenever his grandparents' issues were involved, his father would almost always give in. It was precisely because of his father's personality that his mother had many conflicts with the two elders, and their relationship became increasingly strained.
With just that one sigh, Xie Yan instantly understood what was going on.
Fortunately, Qian Hong was a shrewd woman and managed to keep her job. However, this incident caused her to break off relations with the second wife's side once again.
Yu Yuehua looked worried and sighed, "It's just that my second brother is suffering. He's caught between us and his parents, it's so hard for him. He's even embarrassed to see me now."
Xie Yan knew that Yu Yuehua and Yu Yuehe had always had a good relationship, but after thinking about it, he still earnestly advised, "Instead of wasting your time, you might as well worry more about yourself, work hard with the secretary, and put more effort into your work."
Xie Yan recommended Yu Yuehua because he saw that she was quick-witted, meticulous, and well-suited for a career within the system. "If you want to climb the ladder in the future, you'll have to learn to curb your excessive sympathy. If your second brother truly cared about you, why would he let Grandpa and Grandma cause trouble?"
Yu Yuehua opened her mouth, wanting to say that it was her second uncle and aunt's idea, and that she couldn't persuade them otherwise.
Moreover, his second uncle and aunt might have kept it from him, so he didn't know.
But seeing Xie Yan's all-knowing gaze, she swallowed the words back.
My second uncle and aunt only have one son. If they really want to persuade him, is it really impossible to stop them?
As Yu Yuehua left, her departing figure appeared somewhat dejected.
Xie Yan turned to look at his wife, and asked with a slight hesitation, "Don't you think I'm being a little cruel?"
Yu Yuehe is indeed a very honest and simple person. Maybe he didn't think that much, but as a beneficiary of this matter, does he really not know why his parents are making such a fuss?
It's all for that job.
If his grandparents really succeed and Yu Yuehe gets a job and goes to work, will he give up going to work?
The answer is obviously no.
At most, he would occasionally feel guilty towards Yuehua while at work.
Yu Yue smiled gently at Xie Yan and said softly, "I know you're doing this for my brother's good. How is this cruel? You're just stating the facts."
“If the eldest brother can’t even accept this, then he’s really not suited for advancement.”
Xie Yan raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile, "My wife's awareness is so good, she's completely outdone my brother."
Yu Yuehui laughed, "Alright, stop being silly. I suddenly want to eat something spicy, preferably with a powdery texture, but also crunchy, so it's refreshing to eat."
Xie Yan: "..."
He's really having a headache this time.
