In an old rental house, a mother and daughter were having dinner.
The girl's name is Feng Qiuting, she is eight years old and just in the third grade. She has a little baby fat on her cheeks and looks very cute.
"Mom, our class is going to hold a talent contest in a couple of days. The teacher asked everyone what they can do. Qingqing said she learned dancing, and Yueyue said she can play the accordion. They are both amazing."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Feng Jinghua's face turned pale. She asked, "Are there many talented children?"
"There are so many," Feng Qiuting answered cheerfully, "such as ink painting, piano, brush calligraphy... Only me and two others don't have any talent, so we can't participate. Everyone else will have to perform on stage!"
Feng Jinghua felt bitter in her heart.
She stroked her daughter's hair and whispered, "Mom is sorry..."
Feng Qiuting looked up with a confused expression, as if she couldn't understand why her mother was apologizing.
Feng Jinghua didn't say much, just said, "Be good, eat."
"Yes." Feng Qiuting nodded heavily and said happily, "Mom, today's food is so delicious!"
After more than ten minutes, dinner time was over.
Feng Qiuting took out her book and was about to sit down at the desk to do her homework, but she couldn't help yawning. She rubbed her eyes and tried to hold on, but her eyelids became heavier and heavier, almost sticking together.
Feng Jinghua asked with concern, "Are you tired? Take a nap first."
Feng Qiuting was confused, "But I still have homework..."
"It's still not too late to do it after you wake up," said Feng Jinghua.
Feng Qiuting thought it made sense. She was also feeling sleepy, so she muttered, "Then I'll sleep for an hour first..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell asleep.
Feng Jinghua looked at her daughter with a loving expression on her face, "You don't have to do homework anymore."
She put away the dishes, then took out the charcoal brazier, lit it, and closed the doors and windows.
Finally, she held her daughter in her arms and waited quietly for death to come.
"It's just bankruptcy, there's no need to commit suicide." A strange female voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"Who?!" Feng Jinghua was shocked.
The man in a suit stood on the desk and greeted the new host, "My name is Yun Luo, and I'm here to help."
Perhaps because she was completely hopeless, Feng Jinghua was not frightened when she saw Yun Luo suddenly appear. She asked hopefully, "Do you know the winning numbers for the next lottery? First prize, second prize, or third prize are all fine!"
Yun Luo: “…I don’t know.”
Feng Jinghua asked again, "Can you turn stone into gold? Can you make money appear out of thin air?"
Yun Luo had a blank expression on her face. "Host, please believe in science and stop thinking about doing evil things all the time."
The existence of villains itself goes against science, but she is so serious and follows the rules of the host. The scene is undoubtedly ridiculous.
Unfortunately, Feng Jinghua couldn't laugh. She said disappointedly, "It seems you can't help me."
Yun Luo: “…”
Yun Luo: "Host, please wake up. You only need to pay 3,000 yuan, not owe hundreds of thousands of foreign debts."
Feng Jinghua smiled bitterly, "For me, paying 3,000 yuan in compensation is no different from owing hundreds of thousands of yuan in debt."
Yun Luo: As long as you are happy.
The man in the suit sat on the desk, thinking, why not take this opportunity to change the host. The one in front of him not only has a low financial quotient, but is also stubborn and does not listen to advice.
As his death was approaching, Feng Jinghua spoke out what was buried in her heart, "I have been unlucky since I was a child, and good luck has never come to me once."
"I grew up in an orphanage and didn't know who my parents were. I finally finished college with the help of student loans, and I thought my life would finally be easier, but it wasn't. The job I found paid low wages, and every month I had to rent an apartment, pay off my student loans, and eat. At the end of the month, I didn't have a penny left."
"I thought that finding a man to share the pressure of life would make life better. But after I paid off my student loans and had a baby, my life was just getting better when my husband passed away unexpectedly."
"Why am I always the unlucky one? Why is life so harsh on me? What did I do wrong..."
At the end of her speech, she burst into tears like a child.
Yun Luo thought that meeting was fate, and she should let the host die with a clear mind. So she answered one by one, "A person cannot choose his or her birth, but can change his or her fate through hard work."
"You are 33 years old this year, and your daughter is 8 years old. That means you got married one year after graduation, and had a baby two years after graduation. You should have been working hard at an age when you were completely wasted."
"If you had chosen to take the exam instead of getting married, your salary would be 2-3 times what it is now. You wouldn't have to live in a dilapidated old house, and you wouldn't have committed suicide because of a mere 3,000 yuan."
"What do you know?!" Feng Jinghua screamed hysterically.
"I get up at 5:20 every morning to prepare breakfast for my daughter. I send her to school at 6:30 and rush to the company at 7."
"I go to work at 8:30, and I'm busy all the time. I don't get off work until 5:30, and sometimes I have to work overtime."
"Then I pick up my daughter, go home, cook, do housework, and only have time to work part-time at 9pm. I fall asleep at 11pm-12pm, and have to get up early the next day."
"I'm living such a tiring life, and you still say that I'm not working hard?" As Feng Jinghua spoke, she broke down emotionally.
She covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly, "If only I had been the one who died..."
Yun Luo: "In fact, you don't have to be tired. It was you who made the wrong decision and forced yourself into that situation."
Feng Jinghua didn't believe a word of what the man in the suit said. At this moment, she was surrounded by negative emotions and wanted to leave this cold and ruthless world.
Yun Luo: "You are not even afraid of death, why don't you try to do what I say? Anyway, you have nothing and nothing to lose."
Feng Jinghua's attitude softened a little.
Yun Luo added, "Think about your daughter. She is still young. The world is so big, and she hasn't seen it carefully."
As soon as these words came out, Feng Jinghua started crying again. "With a mother like me, what future can she have in her life? She is destined to live a life inferior to others. She might as well go with me!"
It was clear from his words that he didn't want to leave his daughter to suffer alone in this world.
Yun Luo said seriously, "As long as you want, you can become a mother that she is proud of."
For a moment, the room was silent, with only the occasional sobbing sound.
After a long while, Feng Jinghua asked, "Can you really help me?"
Yun Luo answered without hesitation, "Of course."
After a long while, Feng Jinghua wiped away her tears and made up her mind, "Okay, I'll listen to you and try again."
The system is right, the situation will not be worse than it is now, there is nothing to worry about.
At worst, I'll die in a few days.
Thinking of this, she stood up, fetched water to extinguish the charcoal basin, and then opened the window.
"How is your daughter?" Yun Luo asked.
Feng Jinghua took a look and said, "She's fine. There were sleeping pills in the food, so she fell asleep temporarily."
Yun Luo: "That's good."
**
Not much sleeping pills were taken, and two hours later, Feng Qiuting woke up and quietly did her homework.
Feng Jinghua was in a daze, unable to think of any way to get out of this predicament except getting rich overnight.
A sleepless night.
The next morning, Feng Jinghua got up early, packed her daughter and sent her to school.
While waiting at the bus stop, she asked the system, "What should I do next?"
Yun Luo did not show up, but the voice rang directly in the host's mind, "The host has worked in the company for five years. The company signed a labor contract with the host, but asked the host to submit an application, claiming that the individual is unwilling to pay social security. This is a clear violation of the law."
Feng Jinghua was helpless, "But the application was already submitted... the company should have kept the document."
The company refused to pay social security, so wouldn't she be annoyed? She just needed a job to support herself and her daughter, so she had to hold her nose and bear it.
This endurance lasted for five years.
I thought I could change jobs when I had more money. But my monthly income was too low to save any money. Plus, every once in a while, there were always unexpected expenses, and my savings were getting smaller and smaller. Finally, I was stuck in the mud and couldn't get out.
Yun Luo: "It's useless to submit the application in person. As long as the employees complain to the Labor and Social Security Bureau, the company will lose."
"Take this opportunity to terminate the labor relationship between the host and the company, and also receive financial compensation."
"Compensation is based on the employee's years of service in the company. For every full year of service, the employee will be paid one month's salary. For a period of service of more than six months but less than one year, the salary will be calculated as one year. For a period of service of less than six months, the employee will be paid half a month's salary."
"If you work for five years, you can get five months' average salary as compensation."
Feng Jinghua was stunned at first, then became excited, "With the compensation, I can pay back the three thousand yuan!"
She suddenly shouted loudly, and many people around her looked at her in surprise.
Feng Jinghua came back to her senses, quickly walked to a deserted place nearby, and continued to talk to the system, "Am I right?"
Yun Luo: “Indeed.”
Yun Luo: "With this money, the host can rest assured to resign and find another job."
Feng Jinghua felt that she had finally seen the light.
After taking several deep breaths, she calmed down and asked, "What if the company refuses to compensate?"
Yun Luo: "You can apply for arbitration to the labor inspection department. You can also report it to the social security collection agency."
"Remember, you must prepare sufficient materials to prove that the host has been working in the company for 5 years. Such as contracts, work clothes, salary slips, relevant work photos..."
Feng Jinghua immediately said, "The salary is deposited into the bank card, and there is a monthly flow! I am an accountant, and many documents have my signature, and the salary slip data of previous years is backed up!"
Yun Luo: "Don't make it public when you get to the company. Get all the evidence before confronting."
"I understand." Feng Jinghua cheered up and walked towards the bus stop again.
**
In fact, the school where my daughter attends is not far from the company, and it takes about 25 minutes by car.
If it were someone else, they might go home after sending their daughter to school and then go out to work around 7:50.
But Feng Jinghua has already formed a habit over the years. After sending her daughter to school, she goes straight to the company to start a new day of work.
This habit, which usually seemed silly and mindless, played an unimaginable role at this moment.
Just after 7:30, Feng Jinghua arrived at the company and opened the door. Because she was the first one to come to work every day, one of the three keys of the company was kept by her.
While no one was in the room, she quickly searched and found all the documents that could prove their working relationship.
The author has something to say:
Some people say that companies pay five insurances and one housing fund according to the minimum line instead of specific wages. This situation does exist. In the final analysis, it is to save labor costs.
[In some places, no matter whether the fees are high or low, as long as they are willing to pay, they are good companies...]
