Jiang Mengxue was confused. What was going on? Why didn't she understand?
Aunt Liu continued, “A month ago, Dai Lan’s biological mother came to the Cao family with her younger brother.
He also had a document signed and stamped by Dai Lan.
It was clearly written above that Dai Lan would temporarily take over the work at the textile factory, and all the wages during this period would belong to Dai Lan, but the working period was ten years, and the job would be returned to Dai Lan when his younger brother turned sixteen.
Maybe Dai Lan was unwilling to return to work privately, and her parents had no choice but to come and make trouble. How could such a thing happen?
The Cao family didn't expect this to happen. It's estimated that Dai Lan didn't mention this matter when they got married.
The Cao family was completely stunned by this incident."
Jiang Mengxue's mouth twitched. Could it be that she was being deceived into marriage again?
Work is not something trivial.
That's a steady stream of money. Without her job, Dai Lan can only do housework and take care of the children at home. Her status is far lower than that of a worker.
It would be strange if the Cao family was willing to do so.
Jiang Mengxue was also curious about how the problem was solved later, so she urged him to continue.
"Could it be that Dai Lan is really willing to give the job back?
Regardless of whether or not this is paid back, it won’t sound good to their factory if word gets out, right?”
Aunt Ma nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. If this gets out of hand, the factory leaders will probably have to come and talk to her.
But she had no choice but to return it. The signature on the document also included the signatures of her mother's colleagues and leaders at work.
If this matter gets out of hand, she won't be in any good situation. I heard that she will have to return the job to her brother when he turns sixteen next month.
So these past few days, I've barely seen her except during rush hour, and she stays at home after get off work."
Aunt Ma shook her head. It was hard to say whether this matter was right or wrong.
The parents want to leave the job to their son, but for other reasons they want their daughter to take over temporarily.
But they don't want the salary they've earned from working for these years, they just want their jobs back when the time comes. There's nothing wrong with saying that.
But at least the Cao family should have been told the truth about this matter at the beginning.
People thought they were marrying a daughter-in-law with a job, but they didn't expect that after just a few years, the job would have to be returned to her. Isn't that a lie?
"That's not all. Yang Qian, the second daughter-in-law of the Cao family, is a temporary worker in the street office.
Generally, you can become a regular employee after working for three years, but I heard that two people with connections came to the street, and they can be regular employees after working as temporary workers for a few months.
Yang Qian has lost her opportunity again. If one day someone says that they don’t need so many people, she may be out of work at any time.
After all, it's just a temporary job, there's no stability."
Temporary workers are indeed very unstable. Not only are their salaries two-thirds less than those of regular workers, but they also receive no employee benefits during holidays.
Generally, I work when there is work and go home to rest when there is no work.
So if the company says they don't need you, you may be laid off at any time.
Nowadays, everyone has stable jobs and the possibility of being laid off is very small. Basically, as long as you get a temporary job, the chances of becoming a regular employee are still very high.
But it's hard to say for sure. The work in the street office is not tiring and the pay is good, so many children of leaders will use their connections to transfer to work in the street office.
If someone really bullies you one day, you will have nowhere to seek justice.
Jiang Mengxue was a little surprised. The Cao family has indeed been having some bad luck recently.
One daughter-in-law has definitely lost her job, and it seems uncertain how long the other can keep it.
Originally, the Cao family's conditions were among the best in the compound, and no other family had as many workers as they did.
But things haven't been going well lately.
"Let's not talk about them. What about you, Xiao Jiang? Are you planning to go back to work at the hospital? Who will help you take care of your child then?
Your husband is in the army all year round, and your parents-in-law are not around. You can't bring your child to the hospital to work."
As everyone was talking, they turned the topic to Jiang Mengxue.
They have always been very curious about Jiang Mengxue's life.
When she first came here, she was just pretty but didn't know how to dress up, so she looked like just a pretty little girl.
But later on, her whole temperament gradually changed. Although she was still wearing the same clothes, some of which were patched, she looked gentle and mature.
Moreover, at a time when everyone is extremely yearning for jobs in the city, she was able to give up her job at the city hospital and return to the countryside.
No one could figure out what she was thinking.
Jiang Mengxue didn't expect that they were still thinking about this.
Feeling somewhat helpless, he explained, "I won't be back for the time being. I came here today just to send my mother-in-law and the child's father to the train station.
Their vacation is over and they will take the train back to the army this afternoon. I came along because I wanted to let the children spend more time with them.
I will take my children back to my hometown tomorrow."
Aunt Liu really couldn't understand what Jiang Mengxue was thinking. How was the city not better than the countryside?
Working in the wind and sun all day long, being a doctor in a hospital is no better than being a country doctor in a rural clinic.
"Tell me what you're thinking. I worked so hard to study all the way from the countryside to get into the city hospital, and now I'm back to where I was before.
You don't have to work in the fields in the countryside, do you? It's not good for a little girl like you to be out in the sun doing hard labor all day."
Jiang Mengxue raised her arm and looked at it, and she didn't look black.
Besides, what does being a country doctor have to do with working in the fields?
She sits in the clinic all day instead of sitting outside.
Puzzled, he said, “I’m a doctor at the clinic. I sit in the house all day and don’t have to work in the fields.
Even if I need help during the busy farming season, it's just some light work, not that tiring at all. I feel it's much more relaxed than when I worked in the hospital before.
There is a lot to do at work in the hospital, and I feel exhausted after a busy day.
Now working at the team clinic is much easier, and we have a large vegetable patch in our yard, so we can be completely self-sufficient. We can save a lot of money on vegetables every month, and the team also gives us work points and food. I feel like this life is pretty good."
Jiang Mengxue thought that she had spent almost no money since returning to the countryside.
They grow their own vegetables and fruits, and have enough meat and eggs. They also raise a few chickens. Dahei often goes to the mountains and never comes back empty-handed.
The expenses may be the money for buying food for a family of three every month.
And some snacks from time to time.
The monthly expenses are less than fifteen dollars.
"This is only because I'm pregnant. If I weren't pregnant, I could still go up the mountain when I have time.
Dig some wild vegetables and pick some wild fruits. If someone accompanies you to go into the mountains, you will find many wild fruit trees, such as chestnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, wild sweet potatoes, wild yams, etc.
I remember that the aunts would occasionally go to the mountains outside the city to pick wild vegetables together, but the nearest mountain around here can only be reached by bus, which is a bit far. It’s not cost-effective to go there just to pick some wild vegetables.”
