With the job secured, Jia Yue also revealed that she was working at the daily chemical factory.
To be honest, it surprised a lot of people. No one in the courtyard expected that Jia Yue, who was usually quiet and reserved, would have this ability.
Jia Yue remained silent in response.
However, this also made it clear to those who were interested that Jia Yue was not so easy to mess with.
They all know how hard it is to find a job, but she still managed to find one.
Next, Jia Yue started working diligently, and within two days, news spread from the factory that there would be an exam.
Jia Yue participated, passed the exam, and became a member of the Publicity Department.
Her deal with the Xiao family was officially completed, and at the same time, she began to hang out with Xiao Xiaohong.
She is now an orphan. She has observed the Xiao family and found them to be decent people. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just the deputy director who was investigated back then.
Being close to the Xiao family can shield you from a lot of trouble.
She has already begun to take care of her health.
Her life was finally back on track.
Soon, she had her first holiday. She took out two pounds of mung bean cakes and went to the Liu family's house.
Aunt Liu had said at the hospital last time that she would be discharged in two days, so I went directly to the address.
The Liu family lived in the government compound, where there were guards at the gate. She registered before she could enter.
The compound consists of individual houses, which are certainly not exquisite, but they are definitely safe and spacious.
There was a knock on the door, and Liu Shan opened it. He wasn't surprised to see Jia Yue.
"Xu Jiayue, Mom, Xu Jiayue is here."
Aunt Liu rushed out upon hearing this, carrying a basin in her hand. When she saw Jia Yue, she put down the basin, then greeted her with a smile, saying warmly, "Jia Yue is here, come in quickly."
Jia Yue handed over the mung bean cake: "Auntie, this is mung bean cake. I made it myself. Please try it. It's made using an old family recipe."
Aunt Liu didn't refuse when she heard this: "Okay, since you made it yourself, Auntie will definitely have to taste it properly."
After hearing the old prescription, Liu Shan's mind started to wander again.
Pea flour cake has a high profit margin and tastes good. It sells for one yuan per kilogram and there are plenty of people willing to buy it. You might not be willing to spend money on it if you just eat it yourself, but it's great as a gift. It may not sound expensive, but the taste is substantial enough.
All I can say is that it still has to be the old recipe.
He thought the name "mung bean cake" sounded good.
Aunt Liu: "By the way, has your dad stopped hitting you lately?"
Jia Yue shook her head, her face devoid of a smile: "My father has passed away."
Aunt Liu was surprised: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that."
“It’s okay, Auntie. My dad wasn’t good to me, but he’s passed away, and I still feel a little sad.”
That's obviously a lie. These days, no matter how irresponsible parents are, the saying "parents are more important than anything" and "the dead are the greatest" are enough to show one's soft heart. That's how Xu Jiancheng died.
Aunt Liu sighed, "You poor child, what about your stepmother? Is she good to you?"
Jia Yue awkwardly explained, "My dad was accidentally beaten to death by my stepmother."
Wang Cuihua's case could be considered manslaughter, but she also had a previous charge of hooliganism, marital infidelity, and questionable conduct... She was sentenced to death by firing squad.
Aunt Liu and Liu Shan both stared wide-eyed: "This..."
She didn't know what to say; her stepmother had killed her biological father.
"How did things get like this? A human life was lost!"
Too many people died in the previous wars, and people in this era cherish life especially. It seems that everyone is determined to live. No matter how unqualified Xu Jiancheng is as a person, the loss of a life is always a source of sorrow for his fellow human beings.
“My dad discovered that my stepmother’s son wasn’t his biological child.”
In short, it explained the reason for the fight.
Aunt Liu: ……
Liu Shan: ...
It's getting more and more exciting!
"...Do you have any other relatives?"
She remembered Jia Yue saying that her mother, her maternal grandparents, and all her relatives on her side of the family had passed away, and her father didn't seem to have any relatives either.
Jia Yue shook her head: "No, not a single one."
In other words, she is an orphan.
Although Jia Yue has already started working, she is only sixteen years old and still very young.
Aunt Liu: "If you need anything in the future, don't forget to come and find me. Your uncle works for the government, and he does it to serve the people."
Jia Yue looked touched and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
She was genuinely moved. In this era, though it may not be considered prosperous, the people are truly simple and sincere.
Aunt Liu felt sorry for her and decided to take care of her.
Although the government compound where Aunt Liu lived wasn't top-tier, it still wielded considerable power. Serving the people was a principle that many people at that time truly upheld and practiced.
Liu Shan's father was not at home. He worked for the government, a respectable job, but his working hours were quite flexible. He was often away from home, hence the phrase "serving the people."
As for Liu Shan's older brother and sister-in-law, they don't live with their parents; their work units provide them with housing.
Aunt Liu invited Jiayue to stay for lunch, and then went home.
After Jiayue left, Aunt Liu sighed, "Jiayue is a thoughtful child. If anything happens to her, please help take care of her."
"Mom, I understand."
Both mother and son are sensible and they are not willing to help just anyone. They only help Jia Yue if they see that she acts with restraint and that it is possible to help her.
There are so many pitiful people in the world, they can't help them all.
The story of the farmer and the snake serves as a stark warning to the world.
"By the way, your third aunt's fourth cousin is back from the countryside. You should go and visit him. You two used to get along really well, and you were always following him around."
