Ning Jing didn't know why, but seeing this scene made her feel depressed and uncomfortable.
She could tell that this was indeed her own feeling, and not some lingering resentment from the original owner of the body.
Therefore, tranquility makes one feel even more restless.
Seeing that Xiuhua didn't speak, she put down her chopsticks and bowl.
Do you think I shouldn't have sold my job?
The children, who had been eating wild vegetables with their heads down, looked up somewhat helplessly at their sister-in-law and second sister.
Xiuhua couldn't help but bite her lower lip. Thinking of her older brother, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked out, "Sister-in-law, that job is our family's hope."
Ning Jing closed her eyes briefly, then slowly exhaled and said, "Of course I know where our family's hope lies, but you have to look at our current situation first."
Look at your bowl, then look at the bowls of Siya and the others, and then think about the two lying inside.
Besides, you saw the attitude of your uncle's family today.
Even if they don't sell this job, do you think they'll let you or me go work in the county town?
We are starving to death right now.
Why be greedy for those things?
It would be better to give us something tangible, like money and grain. Only after the autumn harvest and the grain distribution will we have a way to survive.
Also, even if I don't go to that textile factory, I won't let you go.
Director Jia said it was a special recruitment quota, but he didn't say which position it was for.
If someone like us goes there, what kind of job do you think they'll assign us?
If it's the kind of hard and tiring work, can you handle it with your small frame?
I don't want you to go with your older brother after he leaves.
After saying that, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks, turned around and went into the kitchen.
Siya was still confused and didn't understand what her sister-in-law and second sister were saying, but Xiuchun and Tiedan understood perfectly.
Xiuchun gently tugged at her second sister's sleeve, telling her not to be sad.
Tie Dan lowered his head and said sullenly, "Second sister, sister-in-law is right."
Given our current situation, even if we had the will, we wouldn't have the fate.
My sister-in-law is much better now than before she got sick. As long as our family works together, we won't have to worry about going hungry again.
Previously, it was because my sister-in-law always helped my uncle's family with chores. No matter what was divided, my uncle's family would always find a way to take most of it.
Now that my sister-in-law is no longer willing to let my brother-in-law's family take advantage of her, things will definitely get better and better.
After hearing Tiedan's words, Xiuhua held her bowl and remained silent for a long time before finally responding with an "Mmm".
As soon as Ning Jing entered the kitchen, she immediately closed the door.
He carefully bent down and looked outside. Seeing that the group of little brats hadn't chased after him, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he immediately made a furtive shout.
"System!? Fuqiang?? Are you there???"
(Host, you're using your mental powers to speak to me, but no one else can hear you. Why are you acting like a thief?)
Upon hearing the system's words, Ning Jing blinked for a long time before realizing, "Oh, right!"
She communicates with the system mentally, so even in front of those little brats, it's perfectly fine.
So what was the point of all that acting?
System: ...Stupid!
Never mind, never mind!
"Fuqiang, look at how many gold coins I've earned today!"
Also, what can I buy in that store?
Ning Jing straightened up, put the bowl into the pot, pretended to wash the dishes, and then asked in a slightly obsequious manner.
The wild vegetables I ate today must have turned my face green!
