Chapter 132 The Second Brother Has a Job
Jiang Baojia smiled as he put down the basket, took out all the vegetables, and then took out a grass carp weighing four or five pounds. He smiled and said, "Xiaobai, Jinsheng, come here, make soup with this fish for Xiaobao."
Yang Jinsheng quickly took it over, "Oh, Xiaobao is still popular. Second uncle is thinking about him and sent fish from far away."
Jiang Xinbai glanced at the grass carp tied with a straw rope, and raised his chin towards Yang Jinsheng, "Hurry up and eat. Clean up the fish after you finish eating. Second brother, you haven't had lunch yet! There's not much food at home. I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
"No, no, I'm not hungry," Jiang Baojia waved his hands repeatedly.
Jiang Xinbai ignored his refusal, put all the rice in the bowl into her mouth and went back to the kitchen. She poured oil into a hot pan, fried two eggs, poured hot water over them, added salt and soy sauce, and put the noodles and vegetables in. Then a bowl of fragrant egg noodles was ready.
"Come on, second brother, eat it while it's hot."
Jiang Baojia saw the two fried eggs on the noodles and subconsciously glanced at Yang Jinsheng, "Xiaobai, look at you, why are you frying eggs for me? It would be better to save these eggs for Xiaobao to make steamed egg custard. The noodles are already very good, what a waste."
It’s not that Jiang Bao’s family can’t afford eggs, but the eggs in the family are all for the children. The adults don’t lack eggs either, especially at his younger sister’s house. He is afraid that his brother-in-law will be dissatisfied.
"Second brother, why are you looking at me? What? You can't eat eggs? You want my help? Then I won't be polite." Yang Jinsheng joked with a smile and pretended to put eggs into Jiang Baojia's bowl.
Jiang Xinbai stretched out his hand to block it, and said unhappily: "Come on, why are you teasing my second brother? Really, you are so old. Second brother, just eat in peace. There are eggs at home. How much can Xiaobao eat?"
Jiang Baojia was really hungry. After hearing what Jiang Xinbai said, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. After a while, he had finished a big bowl of noodles and even drank up the soup.
Seeing that his second brother had finished eating, Jiang Xinbai asked directly, "Second brother, what is the matter with you coming to see me today? If you have something, just tell me!"
Jiang Baojia touched his head awkwardly and stammered, "Well, Xiaobai, I know you borrowed money from your elder brother to build a house last time. I shouldn't have asked you, but I really can't get the money together..."
Before he could finish his words, Yang Jinsheng interrupted him and said, "Second brother, you want to build a new house too, right? This is a good thing. We will definitely help you."
Jiang Baojia's words were suddenly interrupted by Yang Jinsheng. He was a little nervous at first, but he felt relieved when he heard what he said. It seemed that this meant that he was willing to lend it?
Jiang Xinbai also nodded, "Second brother, have you got the foundation approved? When do you plan to build it? How much is left?"
"No, Xiaobai, listen to me first." Jiang Baojia wiped his face and stretched out his hand to press the pause button.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Jiang Baojia took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going to build a house, I'm going to spend money to buy a job. I'm still short of two hundred and twenty, so I thought of asking you and Xiaolan to see if we can get it together. But don't worry, I will pay the interest."
Jiang Xinbai and Yang Jinsheng were both shocked by Jiang Baojia's words. They scratched their ears and asked again, "Second brother, you just said you were buying a job? Did we hear it right?"
"You heard me right. I just want to buy a job." Jiang Baojia nodded seriously.
Jiang Xinbai looked at his second brother with some worry and asked, "Second brother, you weren't cheated, were you? Who would sell a job now? Don't tell me you gave him money and he disappeared the moment you gave him money."
Such incidents are not uncommon nowadays, and many people have been deceived because they don’t want their children to go to the countryside and are anxious to find jobs, so they naturally become the targets of those scammers.
Jiang Baojia shook his head. "No, I know this guy. He has a job. It's his father who wants to sell his job."
"Really?" Jiang Xinbai was a little unconvinced. "Then tell me what kind of job it is and which factory you work for."
Seeing that Jiang Xinbai still didn't believe him, Jiang Baojia carefully explained the situation of the job and added, "It's only because of my friendship with him, otherwise he wouldn't have sold the job for 650 yuan. I've asked around, and now all jobs are in great demand."
Yang Jinsheng reached out and touched his chin. "This sounds reliable, but I need to meet the person first. How about I ask my dad about it first?" We are from the same factory, so he should be able to find out what the situation is.
Jiang Xinbai's focus was not here. She looked her second brother up and down and said with a smile, "Second brother, I didn't expect you to be good at saving. Six hundred and fifty yuan, and you only want to borrow two hundred and twenty?"
You have to know that my second brother and his friends earn cents in the village. After deducting the food rations they receive at the end of the year, it is quite good if they can get 50 yuan from the remaining cents. Add to that the various interpersonal relationships, and it is not easy to save this money!
"Well, your second sister-in-law is also thrifty. You don't spend much money in the countryside, so you can save some if you save." Jiang Baojia touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. For this job, he had risked his life to go to the black market several times to sell things. If the control hadn't been so strict recently, he would have wanted to make a few more trips to get the money together.
Jiang Xinbai calculated in his mind, then asked, "Second brother, are you going to go to Second Sister's house to ask for the money you need?"
"Well, I'll go to Xiaolan's place again tomorrow. I only caught one fish today. I wanted to ask your third brother, but he just got married and lives in Yue's house. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him, so I won't go."
Jiang Baojia was telling the truth, otherwise he wouldn't have come to his two younger sisters' homes to borrow money first. It was really because his third brother Jiang Baocheng's situation was special.
Jiang Xinbai and her husband looked at each other and thought, Third Brother is the richest in the family, he won't make things difficult, but she couldn't say this openly. After thinking about it, Jiang Xinbai asked her husband tentatively, "Jinsheng, what do you think we should do about the money? I'm afraid if it's too late, I'll lose my job..."
Yang Jinsheng knew what his wife meant when she said that. He thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang Baojia with a smile and said, "Brother, let's do this. We will lend you the remaining two hundred and twenty, and you don't have to go to your sister to ask. But you can't tell anyone about this, because we lent eighty to my eldest brother and sister-in-law when they built the house."
"Ah," Jiang Baojia looked at Yang Jinsheng stupidly, "You borrowed all of it? No, then do you still have any money of your own?"
Jiang Xinbai smiled and said, "Second brother, I can certainly lend you some money. So, I'll give you the money today and let Jinsheng accompany you to inquire about it. If it's reliable, we'll make the decision right away."
It's not that she favors the second brother, it's just that people are all empathetic. She knows how the eldest brother and his wife treat her and how the second brother and his wife treat her. Of course, it's not that the eldest brother is bad, it's just that when she was a girl, she often quarreled with the eldest sister-in-law, so naturally she can't compare with the second sister-in-law in terms of feelings. Besides, the second brother's job is very important, so she will help him if she can.
When Wu Hehua, the eldest sister-in-law from her mother's family, found out that Jiang Baojia had also found a job in the city, she made a big fuss again, but no one paid any attention to her. It all depends on one's own ability!
