Chapter 107 My Work is for You
Jiang Xinbai touched her nose when she was praised for being open-minded. It seemed that she also had moments when she was not open-minded.
"Okay, sister-in-law, Jinsheng and I will definitely come."
Su Qiuyan waited until Li Huifen left before she dared to continue her veiled words: "Xinbai, your sister-in-law asked you to go to her house for dinner and you really went. She was just thinking about accepting your gift. If I were you, I would say..."
"Just shut up. I don't want to hear your nagging." Jiang Xinbai felt that he was too polite and should have confronted her like his sister-in-law Li Huifen did.
"you……"
"What do you mean by 'you'? I'm giving you face." Jiang Xinbai went straight to the kitchen after saying that. Now they had to cook for themselves. Since it was just the two of them, they could just make some noodles.
In the room, Yang Xiumin wiped her tears and looked at Sun Erni, "Mom, am I your biological child? Why can't you help me? Second sister-in-law is right, I am their sister-in-law, as a sister-in-law, can't you help me?"
Yang Xiumin was really scared by the sister next door at her grandmother's house. She would never say that it was better to go to the countryside again. She wanted to stay in the city.
Sun Erni was really mad at her little daughter's stupidity. She lowered her voice and said, "Do you really think your second sister-in-law is doing this for your own good? Ah, if she had a job, she wouldn't say that. She's just trying to help your third sister-in-law. Do you take it seriously? Let me ask you, on what basis should your third sister-in-law give you her job? Is it because she married your third brother?"
"Well, then I'm just anxious!" Yang Xiumin naturally knew the water in her second sister-in-law's words, but at this time, she could only pretend not to know and hold on to her third sister-in-law as a life-saving straw.
"You are right just because you are anxious? Then do you know that if your third sister-in-law loses her job, her household registration will be moved back to the countryside? Xiaobao will also be changed to a rural household registration, and the food ration will also be gone. Do you think your third brother and his wife would like this?"
Sun Erni carefully analyzed the situation to her youngest daughter, hoping that she would understand that asking her daughter-in-law to give up her job was not a feasible option and that saying too much would only hurt feelings.
Yang Xiumin naturally knew that her third brother would be the first one who was unwilling, but what could she do? Before she knew how hard it was to go to the countryside, she was willing to go there because she thought it was fun, but after seeing that sister, she no longer dared to think so.
"Mom, what should I do? You don't really want me to go to the countryside, do you? I will die." Yang Xiumin looked terrified.
Sun Erni hugged her little daughter and patted her back gently, comforting her: "Don't worry, it doesn't say you have to go to the countryside. Your father has asked someone, and your eldest sister will help you find it. Don't worry, there will be a place, at most it will be more money, and mom will spend it for you."
Yang Xiumin felt a little relieved when she heard her mother say that. She sniffed and whispered, "Mom, you can't lie to me. I really don't want to go to the countryside."
"Mom knows. Oh, dear, I will buy it for you as long as you find a suitable job." Sun Erni held her little daughter and looked towards the door. She sighed in her heart. It is already October, and no one knows when the notice will be issued. I hope there will be good news!
…
Yang Xiufen had already made up her mind when she heard her mother talking about her younger sister's job, but she still wanted to give it a try, so she asked her husband tentatively, "Ayu, is there any recruitment in your factory recently?"
Zhou Yu was reading quietly. When he heard his wife say this, he immediately put down the book in his hand and replied, "Really? We have hired enough workers in our factory. The current scale is so large that we probably won't hire anyone in the next two or three years. Why? Ask for Xiumin? Is she not going to high school anymore?"
Yang Xiufen rolled her eyes at him. "Why go to high school? They're not recruiting students anymore. I heard they're mobilizing educated young people to go to the countryside to build the city. You know how Xiumin can't stand the hardship. That's why my parents are thinking of finding her a job, but there aren't many jobs for sale right now!"
Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully, "That's true. It's better for a young girl to stay with her parents. In this way, I will also keep an eye on you. Who knows, someone might sell a job there."
"Well, this is the only way. My parents are really worried about this." Yang Xiumin thought that if it really didn't work out, she would give her job to Xiumin. She couldn't just watch her go to the countryside. But she had to think of a way to deal with the age issue.
The next day, Yang Xiufen took a special leave and went back to her parents' home. As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the kitchen and said, "Mom, please pour me a glass of water. I'm so thirsty."
Sun Erni quickly poured her a glass of warm water and asked, "How is it? What did Zhou Yu say? Is the canning factory hiring?"
Yang Xiufen shook her head. "No, they said they haven't been hiring in the last two or three years. I can only wait and see if anyone is selling a job. Mom, don't worry. By the way, can Xiumin change her age?"
"Your dad has already taken care of this, except for the work. Hey, Xiumin hasn't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken her back to your grandmother's house. Who knew she would react so strongly?"
Sun Erni felt a little regretful when talking about this. Her original intention was to let her little daughter know how hard it was to go to the countryside and let her stay at home honestly, but she didn't expect the effect to be so good, it directly scared her.
"Okay, Mom, it's okay. By the way, where is Xiumin?"
"In the room. Your father and I moved to your eldest brother's room, and she sleeps alone in the previous room." Originally, Sun Erni wanted her younger daughter to move to her eldest son's room, but she thought that her youngest son and his family lived next door, and that young couples sometimes made too much noise, and the sound insulation was not good. She was afraid that it would affect her younger daughter, so she thought it would be better for the two of them to change rooms.
After hearing this, Yang Xiufen immediately stood up and walked towards the room, then pulled aside the curtain beside the bed, "Xiumin, I'm here to see you, get up quickly."
"Sister," Yang Xiumin sat up with tears in her eyes, "If I had known earlier, I would have studied hard. If I had been admitted to a technical secondary school, I wouldn't be facing this situation."
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Big sister won't let you go to the countryside, don't worry." Yang Xiumin patted her sister's back gently and comforted her.
"But..." Yang Xiumin also knew that her elder sister was comforting her. If she really didn't have a job, she might still have to go to the countryside.
Yang Xiufen held her sister's hand and whispered, "I promise you, if you really can't find a job and have to go to the countryside, I will give you my job."
"Sister, you..." Yang Xiumin stopped crying when she heard this and stared at Yang Xiufen blankly.
Sun Erni happened to be standing at the door. When she heard this, she hurried in. "Xiu Fen, what nonsense are you talking about? Mom knows you want to comfort Xiu Min, but you can't talk nonsense about work!" As she said this, she deliberately glanced at her younger daughter, fearing that she would take it seriously.
"Mom, I'm not talking nonsense. If it really comes to that, I really want Xiumin to take over from me." Yang Xiufen had already made up her mind.
