After Yang Su followed Old Chen back, he waited all night without closing his eyes. He planned to wait for Chen Xiangnan and Chen Xiangbei to come back and let Old Chen ask them for money.
However, these two bad guys took the money and ran away and never came back.
That night, Yang Su tossed and turned, feeling upset, but Old Chen next to him was still sleeping soundly.
At dawn the next day, Yang Su could no longer lie down. That was several hundred dollars, and anyone would be anxious to death if they lost it. Seeing Old Chen sleeping like a dead pig, Yang Su was so angry that he pushed him awake.
Old Chen was sleeping comfortably when he was quarreled with. He was in a bad mood. Moreover, he thought Yang Su was a gentle person, unlike Old Lady Xia who would slap him at every turn. So he took out his anger on Yang Su when he woke up. "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Yang Su didn't care about his tone. She just wanted to get her money back. "Brother Chen, what should I do with my money? Xiangnan and Xiangbei didn't come back last night."
After a good night's sleep, Old Chen almost forgot about the money. It wasn't his money, so he didn't take it seriously. "Money? Didn't I promise I'd ask them? Why are you so anxious?"
Yang Su: "I'm just worried that if I find a suitable job, I won't have the money to buy it. Although the money I have now may not be enough, at least I won't need to borrow much. I can't use your money, right?"
Old Chen: "At worst, I can cover it for you. Why are you so anxious about such a small matter?"
Yang Su was still worried. Her original plan was to let Old Chen find a job and then use his connections to pay for the money. She would keep her own money in case the children had an emergency. But now the money was gone and the job was still uncertain, which made Yang Su very panicked.
If she found a job, Old Chen would advance the money, and it would be fine if those two damn guys took her money. Anyway, she wouldn't have to pay Old Chen back, so they would be even and she could even earn a little. But now there was no news about a job from Old Chen.
"Old Chen, how's your job search going?" Yang Su asked. "A few days ago, I ran into the rural affairs office, and they're pushing me again. My second son... what should I do?"
Old Chen said, "There really aren't many good jobs right now. You have such high expectations, and you don't want him to do manual labor, but you want to work in a department with better development. Those positions are reserved for the leaders' children, so there's no way we'll get one. Don't we have to wait for an opportunity?"
Yang Su also wanted to find a random job for Wang Ming to get by, but the child could not endure hardship at all, and he had been in poor health since childhood. If he really did physical work like the eldest brother, his body would definitely not be able to bear it, and he would have to go to the hospital later, which would not be worth it.
Moreover, if he just finds a job with no future development and gets paid that little salary for his whole life, how can he marry a good wife in the future? He is too ambitious, so what will he do if he ends up being single for the rest of his life?
Yang Su felt sad, and she also wanted to tell Old Chen about her inner thoughts, but Wang Ming was not Old Chen's biological son after all. If she told him, Old Chen, the old man, might call her pretentious and unmanly.
But the rural office was really pressing. After thinking for a moment, Yang Su said, "Brother Chen, an ordinary position in the office would also be fine. You can help him. If you are any later, I am afraid someone will come to my house."
Old Chen disagreed: "So what if he went to the countryside? Didn't my Xiang Hong also go to the countryside? After returning, she went to Hai City to work as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative. Now she has found a job again and is doing well."
Yang Su: "It's so hard to go to the countryside."
Old Chen said, "You're just doting on your child too much. My daughter Xiang Hong can endure hardships, but your Wang Ming is so tall, is he any worse than my Xiang Hong? As parents, sometimes we just have to let go."
Yang Su was confused. What did this old man mean by that? Did he not help her Wang Ming find a job at all? Was he just giving her perfunctory advice every day? Hearing this, he didn't want to care about Wang Ming's life or death at all. "Old Chen, are you determined to send my second son to the countryside?"
Old Chen still didn't react. "We have to be good comrades and respond to the call."
After saying this, Old Chen just closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap when Yang Su flipped him over with his bed. His old bones were almost crushed to death by the bed. He struggled to get out from under the bed and pointed at Yang Su, saying, "You want to kill someone?"
Yang Su was furious. She felt as if she had been deceived by Old Chen's previous words. He had said how easy it was to find a job, and that he had gotten one just by talking. He had also said that he had found his second brother's job, and that he was so powerful and respected in the machinery factory. He had clearly promised her that he would definitely find a good job for Wang Ming and would never send him to the countryside.
But, it’s only been a short time since they got married, and this old man’s words are different. What about responding to the call? Bah, he is not letting his three sons respond.
Is it because her second son went to the countryside, and he can still establish a personal image outside to say how good he is, and take credit for Wang Ming's going to the countryside.
This bastard, you could coax him with anything before marriage, but once we got married, his true colors slowly began to show.
Well, since he has revealed his true colors and he doesn't plan to find a job for Wang Ming, then she won't pretend anymore. She has no money and no job, so what's the point of pretending?
What bullshit about being gentle and virtuous, what bullshit about being virtuous, forget it, today, Yang Su will let him see what kind of person she really is.
"Ah~" Yang Su screamed and started smashing things. These things belonged to the Chen family anyway, not hers, so she didn't feel sorry for them.
"Old Chen, you are a liar. I will never believe you again."
"You said you would help me find a job, but now you say you won't help me find a job."
"You were the one who said you would ask your two sons to return my money, but you almost forgot about it after sleeping."
"You said you would take good care of us mother and son, but now you want to force me, right? You want to drive me crazy."
Old Chen was about to open his mouth to blame Yang Su but he swallowed it back. Seeing all the clothes and quilts that Yang Su had turned out and thrown around, stepped on, and even tore, he felt so distressed. "Yang Su, don't get excited. Talk to me nicely. These things are not cheap. Aren't my things yours? We are family."
Yang Su: "Fuck your family! You forced my son to go to the countryside. How can I be your family? You feel sorry for these dead things, but my son is being dragged to the countryside alive. How can you not feel sorry for him? You are just an old man obsessed with money."
