Upon hearing this, Ma Weidong was startled and looked at Li Junsheng in astonishment, then at his own sister.
What is my older sister up to?
She didn't even tell Li Junsheng about the thing she was asked to do!
"Sister, he didn't know about what happened at the machine factory?"
"What do I care about knowing or not knowing? I can't be bothered to talk to him!"
“You have no idea how awful Li Junsheng has been these past few days. His third daughter gave birth to another girl, and her in-laws are disgusted with her. But Li Junsheng is the one who rushes to take her back to her parents' home to have her postpartum confinement. I disagreed, and he argued with me. Can you believe how unbelievable this is? He can’t think straight just because he has a little money. He even rented a room from the old lady across the street and let Li Chunya move in.”
Ma Yulian just wanted to change the subject and pull Ma Weidong aside to talk. Chen Dazhu had told her that there was a lot of profit in the scrap materials from the machinery factory, and Li Junsheng absolutely couldn't know about this good thing.
What if he regrets it and tries to cause trouble for Zhiyuan again?
"What does this all mean?"
Ma Weidong didn't care about his sister's family affairs; he only cared about whether the things he had asked his sister to do had been done.
He sensed something was wrong and asked Li Junsheng directly, "Brother-in-law, I have a friend who runs a scrap metal recycling station. He's interested in recycling the scrap metal from the machinery factory. I didn't know you were a worker at the factory, so I'd like to ask you to act as a go-between."
"I asked my sister to talk to you several days ago, asking you to inquire whether this matter could be resolved. Don't you know about this?"
Upon hearing Ma Weidong's words, Li Junsheng appeared calm on the surface, but was actually terrified inside.
I finally managed to legally recycle and sell the waste from the factory, such a great opportunity, and now someone else has already got their eye on it?
The owner of this scrap metal recycling station has a sharp eye!
Looks like I need to hurry up and make more money!
"What? I didn't know. Your sister didn't tell me at all."
Even if I told him, Li Junsheng wouldn't do it.
But Li Junsheng had to pretend right now.
He was delighted to see that bitch Ma Yulian get her comeuppance, knowing she had definitely assigned the task to Chen Dazhu.
"I didn't tell him!"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Ma Yulian had no choice but to explain to Ma Weidong with a dark face, "But I'm worried about this for you. You don't know, Li Junsheng has lost his job at the machinery factory, so there's no use looking for him!"
“The job was transferred to your brother Chen Dazhu, so I’ve asked him to handle this matter. But there’s still no news. Look how anxious you are, you even came to urge him.”
Ma Yulian was somewhat displeased with Ma Weidong's unannounced visit.
"What?"
"The job at the machine factory has been transferred out?"
This statement contained a lot of information, and Ma Weidong looked completely incredulous!
He had known about the little secret between Ma Yulian and Chen Dazhu for a long time. They used to keep it a little hidden, but now it's so obvious.
Is this the end of the world?
The key question is... can the matter with the machinery factory still be resolved?
"What's your rush! Didn't I already tell you I've asked Old Chen to handle this?"
Feeling a little guilty under Ma Weidong's gaze, Ma Yulian subconsciously raised her voice.
"Sis, you're insane!"
Ma Weidong turned to Li Junsheng with a speechless expression and asked, "Are you stupid?! You just gave such a good job to Chen Dazhu? You might as well have given it to me, we're family after all!"
Ma Weidong immediately realized that Li Junsheng had been fooled by Ma Yulian.
But if you're going to lie to him, why not just give him the job instead?
Li Junsheng never expected that even Ma Weidong would be interested in his job at the machinery factory!
"Heh... transfer it to you? Are you my son?"
"Besides, my son didn't even get it, so how could it be your turn?"
Li Junsheng didn't have a good impression of his brother-in-law to begin with, so he spoke rudely as well.
"How dare you talk to my brother like that?"
Ma Yulian retorted to Li Junsheng, then turned to Ma Weidong, who was still in shock, and said, "Dongzi, even if I gave you this job, you wouldn't take it! Because he asked Lao Chen for a total of 1,200 yuan for this job!"
"They actually made so much money?!" Ma Weidong exclaimed in surprise.
Even the best job at a machine factory isn't worth that much; it's usually only a few hundred.
But Li Junsheng asked for 1,200 right away, how could I dare?
"It's priced but unavailable," Li Junsheng said calmly.
Ma Weidong thought about it carefully and realized it made sense. Everyone knows that this is a secure job, and people would fight tooth and nail to get it.
Although I've heard others offer to buy jobs, there are very few sellers.
"Heh heh, it's priceless and unavailable!" Ma Yulian scoffed.
"I think he's obsessed with money. He keeps all the money from selling his job to himself and doesn't give me a single penny!"
"You should be secretly happy that I didn't tell him about this. Otherwise, given his character, it would take a lot of money to get this done."
Ma Yulian was implying that the three hundred yuan was something she had helped Ma Weidong ask for less of.
Ma Weidong stroked his chin, ignoring the noisy Ma Yulian beside him.
Although Li Junsheng's sale of his job might have involved some deception, Ma Weidong didn't believe that Li Junsheng would be so poor as to actually sell his retirement security for just 1,200 yuan.
Nothing major has happened in this family; they've survived even the poorest times before.
He was about to retire, and then he sold it?
Unless, there is some other reason...
Ma Weidong looked thoughtful, as if he had suddenly thought of something!
Coincidentally, Ma Weidong overheard some gossip about the machinery factory last night at the restaurant.
But that must be a rumor, right?
Did Li Junsheng sell his job at the machinery factory ahead of schedule because of this rumor?
This is absolutely insane!
But then again, if it were true, Li Junsheng would be in luck!
"Brother-in-law, you must know something, right?"
Li Junsheng exchanged glances with Ma Weidong, chuckled, and pretended not to understand Ma Weidong's probing, "Know what? Didn't I just find out about the thing you wanted me to do?"
“I’m not even at the machine factory anymore, so I can’t do this for you.”
Ma Yulian, who was standing to the side, didn't even think about the strangeness in the conversation between the two, and directly told Ma Weidong, "Dongzi, can you not be so anxious? Old Chen has already taken care of it! Maybe there will be good news today."
Li Junsheng's heart stirred slightly.
Today?
He's going to the machinery factory to haul away scrap materials tonight.
Will we run into Chen Dazhu?
