"Young men, where are you from? Is it really like they say, that there is gold everywhere out there?"
An aunt on the other side asked Xia Jin and the others.
"It's okay. If you really want to go out and work, you must do your research before going out. Don't get scammed. If you go south, you may earn a little more than we do here."
"But they're exhausted over there, and it's easy for them to learn bad habits. If you really want your children to go out, you must be well prepared and give them proper instructions."
The other aunts also started to speak up: "Where are you from? Does your factory still need people? Look at my son. He's 19 years old and can do any job."
"My son also failed to get elected in the previous Xiajiazhuangzi Village election. He needs to find something to do. It's not good to stay at home farming all the time."
"If you have any connections, please take us with you. We will never forget you in the future."
After hearing what they said, Xia Jin shook his head awkwardly and said, "We are not from the south. We are from Lian City, so we don't have any connections. Our factory doesn't need anyone anymore."
After hearing her words, some aunts said disappointedly:
"Young man, you are not deliberately lying to your aunt, right? Look at the way you are dressed, how could you not have made any money?"
"Really? We really don't need any more people in our factory."
"Is that so? Then I'd like to ask you which village you are from. If my son wants to go out in the future, he can learn from you."
"That's not necessary." Xia Jin said uncertainly.
"I'm not taking advantage of you, kid. I just want you to introduce me to someone. Why wouldn't you agree? Are you afraid that my son will take your job?"
"Why do you always reject us? We're talking to you because we respect you. Besides, we're all neighbors, helping each other. What's the big deal?"
Xia Jin looked at her and said bluntly, "Didn't I tell you everything? I just don't have any connections. Besides, I just won't introduce him to someone, so what?"
"Does your son have any education, skills, or abilities? He has nothing. How do you want me to introduce him to you?"
"You're quite fierce, little girl. I just said a few words to you, is it necessary to be like this? You're really rude. I don't know how your family raised you."
"I think you'll never find a partner. Who would want you if you're so fierce?"
"Whether I'm wanted or not is none of your business. You don't need to worry about me. Even if I'm unwanted, I'm still better off than your son. Why would I want to give him up? You've ruined my good mood."
Brother Xia held his sister's hand and said, "Okay, okay, why don't you be angry? It's not worth thinking about being angry with such a person. I'll be home soon. There are delicious foods and I'll be happy."
The people on the other side also pulled the aunt who was arguing with Xia Jing and said:
"Why are you arguing with this young man? Besides, if you want your son to go out, just let him go out and make his own way."
"Maybe you'll be very successful by then. If you rely on others to get out, you'll have to repay them after you become successful. Are you willing to do that?"
"And looking at them like this, they might just be trying to show off. I heard that those who go out to work don't come back until the end of the year. If they come back now, they might have been fired."
"Don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry with a little girl. She's young, so it's normal for her to say she has no options."
Everyone in the car was very awkward, and no one spoke for the rest of the journey, fearing that another quarrel would break out. Xia Jin leaned on her brother and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
When they arrived at Xiajiadianzi Village, the three of them got off the car first. When the people in the car saw that they were from the same village, they opened their mouths in surprise.
After all, their village had Xia Jin, a person who provided them with hundreds of jobs, and other villages were very flattering to the people of Xia's village.
Even if you don't want to please others, don't offend them. After all, a golden phoenix has appeared in their village, and you may need it someday.
Besides, if you offend the people in the village, they may tell you that if they don’t want you when they recruit workers later, you will suffer a huge loss.
Brother Xia and the others took all the luggage off the car, said something to the driver, and walked towards the village carrying the things.
The people in the car watched them walk into the village, especially the man who had quarreled with Xia Jin, whose face was full of disbelief.
When the car started moving again, the man slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Why didn't they tell me earlier that he was from this village? Did I offend him?"
"It should be fine, Third Aunt, you don't have to be so scared. Maybe they don't take it seriously at all. It's just a minor fight."
"But you really should change your mouth, otherwise it would be bad if you offend someone someday."
One of the aunts looked at them with some concern and said, "There are no girls in their village who work outside. Do you think that girl is the golden phoenix of the old Xia family?"
"No, you can't, Third Sister-in-law, please don't scare us. If you are really from the Xia family, the Golden Phoenix, then wouldn't we be offending him?"
"What will we do if we come back to recruit workers and they don't want us anymore? Oh, I really deserve a beating for my mouth."
"It's okay, it might not be true. Don't be afraid. We'll go and find out later. If it's true, we'll come and apologize."
"That's all there is to it."
Xia Jin and his friends were carrying their luggage and walking excitedly towards the village, unaware of what had happened in the ox cart after they left.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He was just a little picky, and he didn't do anything too extreme. Killing them all would also be bad for his reputation in the village.
At this time, everyone was busy working in the fields, so there were few idle people in the village. Only a few elderly people with limited mobility sat under the trees, watching their grandchildren play.
Although they are old, their eyesight is still very good. They can see several young people walking towards the village entrance from a long distance.
At first they were wondering whose children they were, and why they came back during the New Year holidays. When they got closer and took a look, they found that they were the grandchildren of the Xia family.
"Yanjun and Yanbing, you're back. That's great! Your mom was still talking about you the day before yesterday. They're happy that you're back."
