Li Xunli had always managed the family's money, and Shen Rongzhou only knew the approximate amount when Li Xunli checked the accounts each month.
Li Xunli thought for a moment and said, "Pretty much, but if you resign tomorrow, I'll be the only one getting paid by the factory next month, so things might be a bit tight next month."
After a long silence, Shen Rongzhou finally made up his mind, reached out and took Li Xunli's hand on the table, "Wife, it's my fault for being incompetent. You'll have to work even harder for the next two months..."
"Why are you saying all this! It's all for the sake of this family!" Li Xunli slapped Shen Rongzhou with her backhand.
With a satisfied smile on her face, Shen Qingqing buried her head in the bowl, having successfully made her exit.
When Shen Qing finished taking a shower and was about to do her homework that evening, her uncle Li Xunjin arrived.
He also brought with him a job offer in the neighboring city of Shantou.
Shen Qingqing grew up with her maternal grandparents, who lived with her uncle, so she was pampered by her uncle from a young age.
As soon as her uncle arrived, she was automatically called out to sit with him for a while.
Not long after, Li Xunjin mentioned that he had come here for a job and asked Li Xunli if she wanted to go.
The Li family ancestors were actually ceramicists, but by the time it came to Li Xunjin and Li Xunli's generation, Li Xunjin had no interest in ceramics at all. He studied business in college, and as soon as he graduated, he started his own small company. In the 1990s, when individual businesses were booming everywhere, he earned enough money to build and renovate the house he lives in now, and even bought himself a car.
If her uncle says he can introduce her to a job, then he must have some connections.
Shen Qingqing immediately picked up the orange she had just complained about having to peel and started peeling it, dawdling as she listened intently.
"Sis, listen to me. A college classmate of mine has co-founded a clothing company in Shancheng that exports overseas. They're hiring skilled sewing machine operators, the kind who can sew a garment independently. I remembered you could sew a garment by yourself when you were a teenager, so I thought I'd talk to you about it. Or how about you come work for my classmate?"
Li Xunjin's academic performance was not as good as his younger sister Li Xunli's, but the family could not afford to send both children to school at that time. It was his sister who voluntarily gave up her own opportunity to study so that he could go to university.
Therefore, Li Xunjin always remembered his sister's kindness, and after he started his company and made money, he continued to help Li Xunli.
But as for why he didn't let Li Xunli help out at his company, there was actually a reason he was reluctant to say: his company's customer base wasn't doing well anymore, and he was worried about it, so he kept it a secret from his family.
Where can Li Xunli be brought into the company?
But his classmate's company just received a substantial amount of funding, so it's definitely much more stable than his company.
"The wages at your current factory aren't high. My classmate here earns 1,500 a month, plus a 300 attendance bonus, four days off a month, and he's a contract worker. It's much more stable than working at this factory."
"If Rongzhou also wants to go, that's fine too, they need people."
Upon hearing this, Shen Rongzhou also thought the job was good, as Li Xunli was indeed skilled at making clothes.
"Brother, I don't need to. I found a job as a truck driver. It's three thousand a month. I'll go sign the contract and start work tomorrow."
Then he said to Li Xunli, "Just take the job I introduced you to. I'll take care of things at home!"
But Li Xunli seemed very hesitant.
Firstly, there are three children in the family. Although Shen Qingqing is already seven years old and can basically take care of herself, Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong are still young.
"You can go as long as you want. If you can't come back from work in Rongzhou, one of your parents will come to take care of the children, so you don't need to worry about that."
"You're still young, with many children at home and expenses everywhere. If you don't earn more now, how will you live in the future?"
Li Xunjin tried to persuade him with both emotion and reason.
Shen Rongzhou also consistently voiced his support.
With both parents offering their advice, Shen Qingqing refrained from rashly expressing her opinion.
In fact, it really takes a lot of courage to send her mother to work in Shancheng right now.
Besides worrying about her children, there was another problem: herself.
Shen Qingqing had heard her parents' love story many times. Ever since Li Xunli married Shen Rongzhou, she had never gone out to work alone and always went to and from get off work with Shen Rongzhou.
Even living in the factory dormitory was something that happened eight or nine years ago.
"Brother, when will your classmate be able to find someone?" Li Xunli still couldn't make up her mind right now.
Li Xunjin recalled, "It took two or three days. If he didn't have any friends around him who wanted to contact him, he would start posting job openings."
"Think about it again. I hope you can go, but if you don't want to, then I'll tell him."
Li Xunli remained silent for a long time. "Brother, let me think about it some more. I'll go to the factory tomorrow and see if I want to go or not. I'll tell you tomorrow."
"Okay, think about it some more."
Having finished speaking, Li Xunjin had to go back and put Li Chunchun to bed, so he hurried away.
When Li Xunli and Shen Rongzhou returned after dropping off Li Xunjin, they saw Shen Qingqing still squatting by the coffee table eating oranges, but they ignored her.
Li Xunli told Shen Rongzhou to quickly take a shower and put Shen Hong to bed, while she tidied up the house.
Shen Rongzhou responded and returned to his room.
Shen Qingqing held up an orange and ate it slowly while watching her mother tidy up the house quickly.
His figure gradually overlapped with that of his previous life.
