Chapter 191: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Part 3)
"This era is really interesting. You can pass on your work to your children."
Gu Qingcheng pondered secretly.
It's not just sons, daughters are also fine.
This is quite different from the education that Gu Qingcheng has always received.
There is no throne in this era, but job positions are like heirlooms and are very precious.
Parents can leave it to their sons and also pass it on to their daughters.
Gu Qingcheng couldn't describe her feelings, she just felt it was very good.
Her inner ambition became more determined because of the realization that "men and women are the same".
Qiao Jianguo died while saving someone at work.
He meets the relevant regulations and his work can be passed on to his children.
But, Qiao Jianguo’s daughter is only three years old this year.
My wife is pregnant, but no one is sure whether it is a boy or a girl.
Even if it is a boy, it will take more than ten years for him to grow up to be able to take over.
What has the Qiao family been fed over the past decade?
Besides, it is impossible for the machinery factory to reserve a place for you for more than ten years.
The original owner, Gu Xiaoni, came up with an idea: I will take over and support the Qiao family, young and old.
This proposal should be considered relatively comprehensive.
However, the old couple in the Qiao family had just lost their only son and now had no grandson.
What if the baby in Gu Xiaoni’s belly is still a girl?
Is it possible that this job of the Qiao family will be passed on to outsiders?
Old man Joe, who was very chauvinistic, was not very willing to do so.
His relatives from his hometown used the excuse of "attending a funeral" and several of his nephews ran to old man Qiao to show their courtesy.
Although nephews are separated by a layer of distance, they are also blood relatives.
Nowadays, if some families have lost their entire family, they would leave their property to their nephews, and the nephews could help take care of them in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.
Old man Qiao was a feudal and selfish person. After weighing the matter over and over again, he actually felt that it would be a good idea to adopt a nephew.
"Jianguo's wife is only 23 this year. You have seen how pretty she is. Can she stay with Jianguo forever?"
"If she had a son, she might still be willing, but what if she had a daughter?"
Old man Qiao judged others by his own experience and felt that if he didn't have a son, he would definitely feel hopeless.
I don't want to waste time like this.
It is certainly not easy for a widow to remarry if she brings her son with her.
But if you bring two daughters, at most you will have two more pairs of chopsticks, and after raising them for ten years or so, you can also receive a dowry.
It would be easier for Gu Xiaoni to remarry.
If the job was given to her, she would just leave with the child and the job, and then who would the old couple rely on? It would be better to adopt a nephew, who is related to them by blood.
If that nephew is an ungrateful person, the spit of relatives from his hometown would be enough to drown him.
Although what Old Man Qiao said was selfish, it did make some sense.
His wife, Ma, didn't think so.
nephew?
Yes, the nephew is indeed related to Old Man Qiao by blood, but not to her, Ma.
To put it bluntly, Ma would rather leave the job to Qiao Qiao, this little money-loser.
But Qiao Qiao is her granddaughter and her blood runs in her body.
As for whether Gu Xiaoni will remarry, write a document in advance.
If Gu Xiaoni does not remarry and is willing to stay with Qiao Jianguo, she will continue to keep that job.
If she remarries, she will leave her children and her job behind, but she will leave with nothing.
Nowadays, such written documents are still useful.
Even if it's useless, Ma can still risk her life to make trouble.
She has controlled Gu Xiaoni for three or four years, there is no reason why she cannot control her in the future.
The worst that could happen is death. Ma is already over fifty years old. It would be enough for her to drag Gu Xiaoni and her adulterer to die together.
Ma's idea was very simple. She would rather die together with her daughter-in-law than live under the control of her nephew and niece-in-law.
The nephew of the Qiao family may be able to be filial to his uncle.
But as an aunt, she may not be very sincere.
Ma thought all this through clearly, but she did not rashly tell the old man about it.
First of all, even though Mrs. Ma is always making a fuss at home, the real person in charge of the Qiao family is always old man Qiao.
Secondly, Qiao Jianguo's job was originally taken over by old man Qiao.
Old Man Qiao is a veteran employee of the machinery factory. Although his skills are average and he has no status, he still has a strong sense of responsibility.
The current factory manager was once his apprentice.
Well, no matter how many days he has learned from him, the factory manager will always politely call him Master Qiao when he sees him.
If Old Man Qiao refuses to give the job to Gu Xiaoni, the factory will probably have to consider his opinion.
Ma thought about it again and again and decided to scare Gu Xiaoni first.
He forced her to sign a document according to Ma's wishes.
Then, Ma took the document and slowly tried to persuade Old Man Qiao.
Ma has thought it through, and will start with the salary.
Qiao Jianguo is now a first-level worker, earning 34.5 yuan per month.
If someone wants to take over, he will probably have to start as an apprentice, and the salary is only 27 yuan per month.
If the daughter-in-law was Gu Xiaoni, Ma would take all the salary and give her a few cents for food and pocket money.
At most, it’s only three or five dollars a month.
But what if I adopt my nephew from my hometown? He has his own family too.
Even if it is agreed in advance, at most half or two-thirds can be submitted.
There is only a difference of several dollars between the two.
Besides, my nephew still has biological parents in his hometown, so even if he is adopted, the blood relationship cannot be really severed.
If anything bad happens in my hometown, my nephew will definitely not be able to ignore it.
Adopted children bring a lot of trouble.
It is easier to control a daughter-in-law like Gu Xiaoni.
As a young widow with a rural household registration, she might not be able to find a city man willing to marry her after leaving the Qiao family.
She had no choice but to go back to her hometown to farm.
Ma believed that Gu Xiaoni was a smart person and she would not do anything stupid!
My old man is greedy for money, so this thing will definitely work! Gu Qingcheng: ...Haha, if you say it's okay, it's okay!
After integrating all her memories, Gu Qingcheng already understood the situation she was facing at the moment -
Ma used her job as a threat, trying to make "Gu Xiaoni" a slave of the Qiao family.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If it were the original owner, he would probably agree.
Gu Qingcheng is not the type of person who can be threatened.
Her mission was to rely on a man to support herself and her children, not to be a slave in the Qiao family and be ordered around by the old couple! "Mom!"
Gu Qingcheng imitated the original owner's tone and said helplessly, "If Dad really doesn't agree, then let's do as he wishes."
"The job will be given to my adopted nephew."
"I will live with my child, but I will have to share some of Jianguo's pension and funeral expenses. I want to raise my child!"
Ma was stunned.
"What? What did you say?"
You're just going to give in like that?
Does Gu Xiaoni know what she is talking about? That is a permanent position in the machinery factory, a real iron rice bowl.
Not to mention Gu Xiaoni, a rural woman without a city hukou, even young people in the city are eyeing these places.
Ma once thought that if things really didn't work out, he would just sell his job.
At least it is worth more than 500 yuan, which is enough for her to live on in her old age.
"Mom, I said I won't argue anymore and will just do what Dad wants."
"I can move out with my kids, go back to my parents' house, or rent a house. It's better than this endless quarrel."
Gu Qingcheng raised her head and looked at Ma seriously.
She wasn't bluffing, she really meant it.
Old man Qiao is really not an easy person to get along with.
Feudal, stubborn, chauvinistic, and bad-tempered.
I heard that when he was young, he often beat his wife.
As he got older, he became a little more restrained, but still difficult to deal with.
Others would encounter a wicked mother-in-law, but the original owner was pitiful. Her mother-in-law was the worst, and her father-in-law was even more of a troublemaker.
In the original owner's memory, Gu Qingcheng saw several "pictures"——
Old man Qiao acted like a big boss, drinking in front of his family.
The original owner suspected that Qiao Jianguo's stuttering was probably not congenital.
It was because he had seen his violent and domineering father lose his temper many times when he was a child, and he was scared into this state.
Even his only son didn't get any "special treatment" from Old Man Qiao, let alone a daughter-in-law.
The original owner was scolded by old man Qiao just a few days after she got married.
This is very strange.
Because in the traditional Chinese concept, there are differences between men and women.
It is the mother-in-law's responsibility to discipline her daughter-in-law. Even if the father-in-law is displeased, he will not confront his daughter-in-law directly.
At most, I would whisper a few words to my spouse, and then he would come forward to deal with it.
Old man Qiao, on the other hand, directly scolded his daughter-in-law.
If he gets angry, he'll gesture as if he could hit someone.
The old man beats and scolds his daughter-in-law?
Haha, if this gets out, it will be an absolutely shameful joke!
A disrespectful father-in-law and a mean and calculating mother-in-law.
In the past, the original owner had a husband who understood her feelings and the original owner just had to endure it.
Now that Qiao Jianguo is gone, the old couple in the Qiao family are both devastated.
Gu Qingcheng dared to bet that Old Man Qiao would become even more weird, and Mrs. Ma would also become more severe in torturing her daughter-in-law.
As a result, the two children may also suffer.
The son in the belly may be pampered by the old couple as if he were their life.
But such doting can also harm children.
The more Gu Qingcheng thought about it, the more she felt that it would be better not to stay in the Qiao family!
As for the job that Ma regards as a treasure and uses to control himself, haha, give it to whoever wants.
Her mission this time is to rely on a man for support.
Wouldn't it be more conducive to completing tasks if you didn't have a job?
Huoshui: ...(⊙_⊙) Is this still the independent and capable heroine it is familiar with?
Don't tell me you're doing this for a persona! Humph, it's good enough that this person doesn't play word games or exploit system loopholes! How could she be so "well-behaved"? "Jianguo's wife, are you, are you confused?"
Ma still couldn't believe what she heard.
My mind seemed to be a mess, I couldn't make sense of it at all, and I didn't know what to say next.
Gu Qingcheng stood up and said, "Mom, please discuss it with Dad again."
"If Dad insists on adoption, then let's adopt!"
Leaving Ma stunned, Gu Qingcheng took her daughter and opened the door.
Crash!
The neighbors who were hiding outside the door and eavesdropping all ran away.
