Chapter 563 Did you hear what Director Lu said?
But Lu Qiaoge wasn't going to say anything more to them.
Lu Qiaoge then asked the Bai family members.
"Any other questions?"
Before Old Bai could speak, Technician Bai, his face flushed, said, "Thank you, Director Lu, and thank you and Sister Lin for taking the time to resolve my family's dispute. I'm so sorry to have troubled the organization. Don't worry, we will definitely resolve our family's problems properly."
When Technician Bai spoke, Old Bai and his wife surprisingly didn't interrupt.
But the expressions on their faces were clearly different from before.
He was clearly captivated by what Lu Qiaoge was saying about the service team.
Lu Qiaoge smiled and looked at Bai Xiuxian. Before Lu Qiaoge could ask anything, Bai Xiuxian quickly stepped forward, took Lu Qiaoge's hand, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Director Lu. I really didn't expect you to be such a good comrade. I've always heard people say that you are fair, just, and decisive in your work. Today I've finally seen it for myself. Thank you so much."
Even without me asking for your help, you were able to stand up for me and speak on my behalf.
My gratitude to you comes from the bottom of my heart.
Lu Qiaoge smiled at her, then went to ask Old Bai, "Aunt Bai, what are your thoughts now about your complaint to the neighborhood committee about your son and daughter-in-law being unfilial?"
Old Bai really wanted to say that her daughter-in-law was unfilial for daring to talk back to her.
But she doesn't dare to say anything in this situation.
And she was really tempted by that temporary job offer from the service team.
She's not too old or frail to move around, and she doesn't want to go back to the countryside to farm.
Having a temporary job is quite nice.
Besides, she might be able to fool others, but Lu Qiaoge is as shrewd as a shrew. If she dares to lie to Lu Qiaoge about her son and daughter-in-law being unfilial, she'll probably be dragged to the front of the auditorium by Lu Qiaoge in the next moment.
Although it was a little awkward for the old man to sit with Mrs. Li.
But she didn't want to go along and embarrass herself.
So the old woman quickly said, "It was my fault for being confused. I didn't express myself clearly. It was just a small dispute, and everything is fine now. It was our fault as elders that we made the child suffer and caused trouble for the leaders of the neighborhood committee."
Lu Qiaoge nodded in satisfaction: "We are very pleased that you were able to recognize your mistakes so quickly and correct them in time. We will commend you at the meeting later."
Old Bai quickly waved her hand: "No need for praise, no need for praise, this is what we should do."
Because being praised for this isn't necessarily a good thing.
Lu Qiaoge and Sister Lin left the Bai family.
Sister Lin asked Lu Qiaoge curiously, "Is what you just said about the service team true?"
Lu Qiaoge nodded: "It's true. The Xiangyang Subdistrict Office was preparing for this service team a while ago. Now it has been approved by the higher authorities. They will recruit temporary workers in the early stages, and we'll see how it goes later."
Their conditions are actually quite good, but it depends on their personal wishes. Some people just don't want to work and prefer to stay at home and retire; there's nothing we can do about that.
Sister Lin nodded: "Yes, some people are lazy, there's nothing we can do about it."
Meanwhile, inside the Bai family's house, Bai Xiaomei stood up and said in a clear voice, "After I start working, I will give my living expenses to my older brother and sister-in-law. My older brother and sister-in-law, you have had a hard time these past few years. I can't control my younger brother; he has been spoiled by our parents. But I know what I should do."
Bai Guocheng is thick-skinned; as long as Lu Qiaoge doesn't go to the leaders, he's not afraid of anything.
However, he looked at his parents with burning eyes.
“Mom and Dad, I’ve heard about the service team that the Xiangyang Subdistrict Office is setting up. But I didn’t think of it this way. They said they need people from all walks of life, anyone who can do anything, but having a special skill is even better. Dad, you’re good at carpentry, and Mom, you’re good at tailoring. Why don’t you sign up and give it a try? If you get hired, you two will both be temporary workers, and then…”
They didn't say anything more, but everyone understood.
Technician Bai and Wang Xiuxian exchanged a glance.
Wang Xiuxian turned her face away.
Then she went into the bedroom to pack her things. The technician took her hand and pleaded, "I know I've wronged you. I will be good to you for the rest of my life. I will work hard and try to get a raise next year. In the fall, my younger brother will also be able to get a single dormitory room. He will move out after he gets married."
Wang Xiuxian put down what she was holding, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, trying to calm herself down before looking at Technician Bai.
The voice was somewhat cold as it asked, "Do you know what the situation is like at home right now?"
"I know, I know, of course I know."
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to bring myself to not give my parents money.
"Actually, I know your parents have money."
Wang Xiuxian's voice was bitter as she said this: "Really, many people say I'm too stupid. I've been feeling very lost for the past two years."
I don't know how my life has come to this.
Why can't I ever save money?
"And your parents don't have jobs, yet they're richer than me. I don't know where Comrade Lu got that from, but it's true. Bai Guobin, I want to ask you, do you have two thousand yuan?"
The technician in white also looked unwell.
If the parents had no money at all, it would be fine, but the reality is that the couple is struggling to make ends meet, yet the parents are still not satisfied. They have so much money in their hands and still want to force him to pay for his younger brother's dowry.
If Lu Qiaoge hadn't come today, things would probably be very different now.
He was likely pressured by his parents and brother to either turn against his family or agree to his parents' unreasonable demands.
Either one of them will affect his work, life, and family.
It's truly remarkable that such a young woman can handle problems so decisively and sharply, yet with reason and composure.
No wonder so many people praise Lu Qiaoge; she is indeed capable.
She is magnanimous, and the things she does are admirable.
The technician said, "I'm going to ask them for the money right now."
Wang Xiuxian looked at him with some curiosity: "You really dare to go?"
What's there to be afraid of?
The white technician discovered that his parents were only tough at home.
Moreover, this idea has been around for more than just a day or two.
If this drags on, it will really affect his relationship with Soo-hyun.
The technician decided to use someone else's name to intimidate others.
He stood at the door and suddenly said loudly, "It's really embarrassing. I thought you didn't have any money either, so I borrowed three hundred yuan from Chief Engineer Li at my workplace."
That's so embarrassing.
"So Mom and Dad are really rich! You just watched me borrow money from my boss. You're really something! Since you're so flush with cash, hurry up and give me the money so I can pay off my debt."
Finally, he said to Brother Bai, "I don't owe you anything, did you hear what Director Lu said?"
Look at that younger brother of his, and then look at what he's achieved now!
Look at you, I went to so much trouble to get you a permanent position.
From now on, you either live at your workplace or hand over your entire salary every month…
