The food we eat now is all thanks to the two sums of money you sent back! If it weren't for those two payments you sent back, our family would probably have been starving and starving long ago!
For the past six months or so, we haven't had a single penny of income. At this rate, I'm even considering starting a small business to make ends meet. Look at those educated youth who returned to the city from the countryside; many of them weren't assigned jobs after returning, but they've all become self-employed, running small businesses, and they're doing quite well! I refuse to believe that our family will starve to death!”
Hearing this, Lin Xue was about to ask for more details when she saw Lin Zhennan speaking in such a way. Lin Lei, standing nearby, was overjoyed and excitedly exclaimed, "Dad, you've finally come to your senses? I've told you before that being self-employed is a good way out! I know you're always shy and can't let go of your pride. But don't worry, you don't need to personally show your face. As long as you agree to let me go out and try my luck, I'm confident I can support this family and provide for everyone!"
Lin Xue stood quietly to the side, listening silently to the back-and-forth conversation between the father and son.
However, she was completely baffled, just like a monk who had no idea what they were discussing so enthusiastically.
You should know that your parents are both highly educated intellectuals who have been working diligently in education and have achieved remarkable results.
Now, they have been back in the city for more than half a year, but why have they suddenly fallen to the point where they can't even afford to cook at home, and even have to consider becoming self-employed to make a living? This huge contrast makes Lin Xue feel extremely confused and shocked.
Finally, unable to contain her doubts any longer, Lin Xue asked, "Mom and Dad, what exactly happened? Haven't you always been receiving stable salaries?" Just then, Wang Wanrou, who had been silent all along, slowly stepped forward, sighed softly, and began to tell Lin Xue the truth hidden behind the matter.
"There's no salary to speak of! Your father and I rushed to the school to register as soon as we returned to the city, eagerly anticipating our return to the classroom. But who would have thought that the school would simply tell us we needed to wait for further notice and arrangements before we could determine the specifics of our work? Of course, we understand the deeper meaning behind this."
Everyone else has already smoothly returned to their jobs, while my husband and I are left here waiting anxiously. Needless to say, it's your aunt's family pulling the strings behind the scenes! This kind of thing is just a matter of words for them, yet they insist on making things difficult for us! But I refuse to fall for it. Why should I bow down and admit defeat to them? Absolutely not!
Listening from the side, Mo Yuan gradually came to understand the ins and outs of the whole matter as they engaged in their heated exchange.
