"Mom, do you want to buy a job?" Chen Xiangdong looked straight at Old Mrs. Xia who seemed to be in a trance.
At this time, Old Lady Xia responded, "What?"
Chen Xiangdong didn't understand. "You almost forced me and Wenying to divorce just for a job?"
Old Lady Xia was even more puzzled. "Aren't you forcing me to compensate you for a job? I learned this from you."
Chen Xiangdong was choked. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the source was work.
No, no, he was doing it for his own family, and his mother was doing it for that money-losing Chen Xianghong.
"Chen Xianghong has been in the countryside for so many years, why did you insist on bringing her to the city? Isn't she a money-loser? She won't be able to provide for your retirement in the future. We will be the ones who provide for you. Are you crazy?"
Old Lady Xia said leisurely, "I really don't know whether Chen Xianghong will support me in my old age, but with the three of you brothers in such bad condition, I absolutely can't count on you for my old age. If I really let you support me in my old age, I'd be crazy."
Chen Xiangdong was stunned. His mother actually said such a thing. He was a little panicked. Could it be that she was really disappointed in him?
Chen Xiangnan couldn't stay out of this either. After all, Old Lady Xia had scolded him too. He said, "Mom, I will definitely be filial to you and my dad in the future. My brother and I are very different."
Seeing Chen Lao Er, who had no psychological burden in dragging down his own brother, Old Lady Xia continued to speak harshly, "You? When I was beaten just now, you were watching the excitement with great interest. When I was talked about, you didn't say a word. Besides coaxing me for money and a job, what else can you do? If I really relied on you, I might as well jump into the river right now."
Chen Xiangnan: "Mom, I'm not that kind of person."
Old Mrs. Xia: "Then you should first pay back the hundred yuan you borrowed last month."
Chen Xiangnan: “…”
He had no money at all. He had used it all to buy nutritional supplements for Zhao Hui's pregnancy. He had privately consulted someone and was told it was a boy. He wondered if his mother would only treat the grandson of the eldest family well. He would have a son in the future, so his mother wouldn't be so lenient.
Old Mrs. Xia knew that he couldn't come up with the money. Speaking of extramarital affairs, the one who should be arrested and sent to jail the most was actually her second son.
"Mom, if you're using money to buy Chen Xianghong a job, I won't agree." Zhu Wenying finally understood. When she married, Chen Xianghong had already gone to the countryside. Now her son is three years old, and Chen Xianghong has been in the countryside for four years.
A child who was abandoned long ago. When she went to the countryside, her mother-in-law didn't even use her connections to keep her. How can she be a good mother now?
The money of her parents-in-law will be left to them in the future. If a money-loser wants to share the money, she will not agree even if there is a big quarrel.
Zhu Wenying had a fierce look on his face.
Old Lady Xia glanced at her and said, "It's none of my business whether you agree or not. It's up to you. Your parents will give you the money. If they don't, we'll go see the factory leader."
Old Zhu was furious. This girl must have taken after her mother, she was completely clueless. Was now the time to provoke this vicious old woman?
But they really don't have the eight hundred yuan.
"Mother-in-law, our family really can't afford so much money." Old Zhu said with a sad face.
"Just use the money your family gave to Zhu Wenfei to get married first. Anyway, we don't know whether he can get married now." Old Mrs. Xia suggested in a sinister way.
Zhu Wenfei immediately became anxious, "Dad, we can't touch this money. Yu Xue's attitude is unclear now. If our family can't even come up with the money to marry a daughter-in-law, how can I coax her?"
Old Zhu naturally knew this truth, but Old Lady Xia was difficult to deal with.
Zhu Wenfei turned around and said to his sister, "You caused this trouble, so I think you should pay for it. You beat your mother-in-law, so why should our family pay? A daughter who is married off is like spilled water, so don't go back to your parents' home for no reason. Look at what happened today, it was all caused by you."
This time, Old Lady Xia actually looked up to Zhu Wenfei. After all, this incident was caused by Zhu Wenying. She dragged the Zhu family into this incident just to put pressure on Zhu Wenying.
But Zhu Wenying is different from her Xiang Hong. Xiang Hong is only thinking about the good of her family, but Zhu Wenying is mainly thinking about herself. Asking her to pay money is more painful than killing her.
As expected, she and Zhu Wenfei had a huge argument, and in the end Zhu Wenying put the blame on Jiang Fangru.
Jiang Fangru's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. This daughter really couldn't be kept. She even betrayed her own mother. But when it came to work, Jiang Fangru rolled her eyes and approached Old Lady Xia and said, "Xiangdong's mother, how about this? I'll tell you an inside scoop about work for 400 yuan?"
Old Lady Xia: "Tell me, if it's not a good job, it can't be worth this."
Jiang Fangru: "Don't worry, it's definitely a good job. Yu Xue told me about it, and I happen to have some connections here who can help you make the connection. I wasn't planning on taking this job originally, as my children already have jobs."
Mrs. Xia: "Tell me, what kind of job is it?"
Jiang Fangru: "The supply and marketing cooperative is looking for three salespeople. We want female high school graduates. I heard your Xiang Hong is a high school graduate, right?"
Old Mrs. Xia's eyes lit up. This job was indeed much better than the job in the textile factory that Old Mrs. Wang had mentioned. It was decent and not as tiring as working in a textile factory. It was indeed a good job.
She nodded and said, "Okay, four hundred dollars then."
Old Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. If the quarrel continued, his family would be too embarrassed to face anyone. It would be good if they could reach an agreement.
Jiang Fangru immediately counted out twenty big unity notes from the small cloth bag, pulled Zhu Wenying aside, and muttered something.
Old Mrs. Xia saw Zhu Wenying reluctantly take out the money and hand it to her mother.
"Xiangdong's mother, here is four hundred yuan. You can buy some delicious food and some nutritional supplements to nourish your daughter. We haven't taught our daughter well, and we're sorry to cause you trouble." Jiang Fangru didn't want to cause trouble at this time, so she spoke nicely.
Old Mrs. Xia counted them and stuffed them into her clothes. She said "hmm" and walked out slowly.
After sending the troublesome old lady away, Old Chen and Chen Xiangnan followed behind, covering their faces. Facing the questions from the neighbors, Old Lady Xia said nothing. After all, if she took someone's money, she still had to have some professional ethics.
Inside the house, Jiang Fangru was breathing heavily, looking at Zhu Wenying as if she were her enemy, and even Chen Xiangdong was disgusted. She, Jiang Fangru, had never been treated like this before. Everyone in the compound had to be polite, and at most they would talk about her behind her back.
But today, she was bullied like this by Old Lady Xia, and... she even had to pay compensation, just because she gave birth to such a fool.
The sound of Jiang Fangru beating someone was heard from inside the house. Chen Xiangdong was beaten several times when he tried to stop her. Finally, the two were driven out together. Zhu Wenying walked back crying.
