Chapter 25: Get the News
"Yes, last night Jinsheng and his elder brother and sister-in-law..." Jiang Xinbai told everything that happened at home last night in one breath, and then looked at her sister expectantly, "Second sister, my good sister, please lend me some, this opportunity is rare."
Jiang Xinlan pursed her lips and asked in a low voice: "Are there any other jobs? The kind that can allow you to settle down?" If they were not sisters, she would also want to rob this Hu.
"Sister," Jiang Xinbai let go of her hand, "If you want, how about I give you this job opportunity first?"
Jiang Xinlan glanced at her sister, reached out and tapped her forehead, and said angrily: "Save it, you are playing tricks on me, do you really need to test me here?"
"Hehe, how could that be? I mean it!" Jiang Xinbai said with a wry smile.
"Okay, then just give it to me first."
"Sister~"
Jiang Xinlan snorted coldly, "I knew you weren't that generous. Tell me, how much is the difference?"
"Well, second sister, can you lend me a hundred?" Jiang Xinbai had calculated in his mind. The family had a savings of two hundred and sixty, plus the one hundred that mother-in-law had just given him last night, so he was only one hundred and ninety away from five hundred and fifty. He could borrow one hundred from fifth sister, and he could shamelessly ask mother-in-law for the remaining ninety.
Jiang Xinlan stopped walking and said, "How nice of you to borrow from me at my limit. Sisters should settle accounts clearly. You should pay it back soon."
"Of course, you're my biological sister, how can I blame you?" Jiang Xinbai patted his second sister's shoulder flatteringly, then pointed, "Second sister, look, it's right in front, let's go in and take a look."
It was past breakfast time and there were not many people in the restaurant. Only a bored middle-aged woman was sitting at the cashier counter.
"Breakfast is gone. Come earlier next time." When the middle-aged woman saw Jiang Xinbai and the other person approaching, she directly refused them before they could speak.
Jiang Xinbai grinned, "Sister, we are not here to eat, we just want to find out if anyone in your restaurant wants to change jobs. I heard that they want to join the army, right?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman, Sun Chaoying, became interested, "You want to find Shen Chuxia? Do you know her conditions?"
"Conditions? I really don't know, but could you please tell us about it, sister?" Jiang Xinbai took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket and handed it over.
Sun Chaoying took the candy happily and said, "Oh, why call me sister? It's embarrassing. Just call me Aunt Ying."
Jiang Xinbai didn't believe her. Women always like to be called younger, so she looked at Sun Chaoying carefully and said in surprise, "That won't do. I see that you are two years older than me, how can I call you aunt? I'd better call you Sister Ying."
Sun Chaoying was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He patted the air with his hands a few times and said embarrassedly, "Hey, I'm not a few years older than you. I'm 38 this year, and you're only 17 or 18 at most, right?"
"Sister Ying, I'm eighteen this year, and I'll be nineteen next year. You look really young, not like thirty-eight. Don't lie to me." Jiang Xinbai said with a look of disbelief.
"Oh, why would I lie to you? My son is the same age as you. So you're looking for Shen Chuxia, right? But she's asking for 550 for this job, which is not cheap. And there's another thing, she won't join the army right away. It may take about a month, and then you need to pay 50, you..."
Sun Chaoying told everything she knew. She just had a crush on Jiang Xinbai, and she would be very happy if she worked with this girl.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinbai became a little nervous and asked, "What does that mean? It doesn't have to be that thing?"
"That's not the case. She just wants to settle down first. If she wants to go with the army and you change your mind, it will be difficult to deal with her for a while, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xinbai felt relieved. "Yes, that's right. So, Sister Ying, did Shen Chuxia come to work today? I want to talk to her."
"Hey, do you really want to? That's fine, wait for me, I'll take you there." Sun Chaoying walked a few steps into the kitchen, and then quickly came out with a bag.
"Come with me."
"Sister Ying, I hope it won't delay you from work?" Jiang Xinbai looked at Sun Chaoying and then towards the kitchen.
"It's okay. The morning work just ended and it's still early for lunch. Chuxia's home is nearby, so it won't delay anything." As he said that, he turned a corner and came to a bungalow.
"Here we are, Chuxia, Chuxia, are you home?"
"Hey, I'm at home. I'm coming." Shen Chuxia opened the door and looked, "Sister Ying, why are you here? Who are these two?"
Sun Chaoying squeezed Shen Chuxia aside and walked in, "Come in and tell me, come in and tell me, this..."
"Jiang Xinbai, Sister Ying, my name is Jiang Xinbai and this is my sister Jiang Xinlan." Jiang Xinbai quickly responded.
"Xinbai, yes, Chuxia, Xinbai just wants to ask you about your job. I have told her all your conditions."
Sun Chaoying found three chairs in the yard and asked Jiang Xinbai and the other man to sit down and talk.
Jiang Xinbai squeezed his hands and said, "Sister Xia, I heard that you are going to join the army. I just want to find a job. If you think it is suitable for us..."
Shen Chuxia looked at Jiang Xinbai and smiled: “Yes, so I’m in a hurry to deal with the work, but someone offered 580 yesterday and I didn’t agree. Today, you…”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinbai's face turned ugly. Is this a price hike? Then she turned her head and looked at Sun Chaoying, "Sister Ying, this, look..."
Sun Chaoying was also righteous and immediately said, "Chuxia, didn't we agree on 550? Why did you change your mind? Xinbai really wants it too. She also said that she would pay the full amount immediately. Besides, your price..."
"Sister Ying, don't be anxious. I haven't agreed to that man yet, but I want to make another request." Shen Chuxia waved her hand. Although the man offered five hundred and eighty yesterday, he just asked for the job to be handed over immediately. Even so, the money could not be obtained immediately. He said that half would be paid first and the other half would be paid when she was about to leave with the army. Naturally, she did not agree. She was not a fool. The job had been handed over to him, and it was not certain whether he would pay her or not. She naturally could not take this risk.
Jiang Xinlan touched her sister's hand and raised her chin. "You said, if it's not too much, we will agree. My sister is also very sincere."
Shen Chuxia smiled, “Don’t be so nervous, I just want some cloth coupons and sugar coupons, not too much. If you can get me sixteen feet of cloth coupons and five catties of sugar coupons, I will only charge four hundred and fifty. You can consider it yourself?”
Jiang Xinbai's head suddenly became confused. How could it be sugar and cloth coupons again? Where could she find the tickets?
