However, Chen Manlian's job was as a textile factory worker, which was not suitable for Fu Hongye, a grown man.
Therefore, Fu Hongye could be said to have been eyeing his father-in-law's job with great interest.
Chen Manlian's father didn't object to Fu Hongye taking over his job, but since his grandson hadn't been born yet, it was best to put the matter of Fu Hongye taking over on a temporary stand.
Therefore, the promise made to Fu Hongye that he would find a job if he married into the family has been repeatedly delayed.
At first, Fu Hongye felt quite uncomfortable.
After all, asking someone for money is never as comfortable as having money in your own pocket.
However, after two years of being idle, Fu Hongye began to think that living like this without having to work was quite nice.
So, from the beginning when she would ask him about his work from time to time, now he just stays at home sleeping soundly, or goes out to chat with people and wander around.
For someone who was used to being idle, suddenly asking him to participate in hard labor such as repairing a reservoir made Fu Hongye feel dizzy.
When Chen Manlian and her family returned home from get off work in the evening, they saw Fu Hongye looking dejected.
Upon seeing the notice, Chen Manlian immediately burst into tears.
She and Fu Hongye had only been together for two years, and Chen Manlian had treated Fu Hongye quite well.
The two are not as inseparable as when they first got together, but now that they are suddenly separated, especially someone as delicate as Chen Manlian, how can she bear it?
"Father, what should we do? Please help Hongye!"
Chen Manlian cried and tugged at her father's sleeve, her eyes red.
Mr. Chen had naturally seen the notice and knew it was a task assigned from above, so there was nothing else he could do.
It was practically a done deal that my son-in-law, who was too weak to lift a finger or carry anything heavy, would be in charge of repairing the reservoir.
Upon hearing what Chen's father said, Fu Hongye remained silent, his eyes reddening as he sat in a chair in the living room, holding his head in his hands and sighing.
Seeing her husband like this, Chen Manlian felt both heartache and resentment.
She couldn't help but resent her parents in her heart. If her parents hadn't been so wary of Hongye and had made Fu Hongye take over her father's job early on, there wouldn't be this troublesome thing today.
However, you definitely can't say this in front of your parents, otherwise it would be extremely unfilial!
Fu Hongye couldn't help but feel resentful. The two of them, being a married couple, both harbored resentment towards Chen's parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were unaware of their daughter and son-in-law's true thoughts. They simply thought that since it was a done deal, they might as well be more open-minded. After all, how big could a reservoir be built in this village?
Even the biggest reservoir will eventually be completed!
Once the reservoir is repaired, we can come back.
The son-in-law is so comfortable at home, he doesn't have to do any work.
These days, working on reservoir repairs is a good option, since I've heard that people who work on reservoir repairs are paid full work points.
As long as the son-in-law is willing to work hard, he can earn a considerable amount over the course of a year.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were wholeheartedly planning for their daughter's future. Even if they, the two old people, could no longer move or earn money in the future, they were not afraid that their daughter would be left without a place to live for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, Chen Manlian was fooled by Fu Hongye and completely disregarded the heartfelt sincerity of her parents.
No matter how dissatisfied they were, Fu Hongye eventually obediently returned to Xishan Village to participate in the reservoir construction.
