Chapter 180 Fang Lan'e's Story
This time Wang Jinfeng had nothing to say. Lu Guosheng wanted to argue, but she really couldn't.
Ai Xiaoxia said to Lu Jingshen, "It's getting late, let's go back."
Lu Jingshen also felt that it was almost time: "Yeah." After that, he turned to Wang Jinfeng and said: "Grandma, Xiaoxia and I are going back. We will come to see you when we have time."
Wang Jinfeng didn't say anything. All her sharpness today was gone.
Ai Xiaoxia also followed Lu Jingshen and said goodbye to the elders, then said to Lu Jingxin, "Meet me at the store at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's talk about the part-time job."
They had just said goodbye to everyone when someone knocked on the door.
Jiang Zhi was closer to the door and opened it.
Then I heard a woman's voice outside: "Sister, I heard something happened in your family, so I'm sending you some money. I don't have much, and you know that my family has to take medicine all year round."
The person who came was Jiang Zhi's younger sister Jiang Cao. Her husband was ill and had to take medicine all year round, so Jiang Zhi didn't ask her sister for help. Unexpectedly, her sister sent the money immediately. No matter how much the money was, it was her sister's thoughtfulness.
Jiang Zhi's tears flowed down: "Cao'er, I can't take your money. You have it harder than me."
Jiang Cao smiled and said, "Sister, why are you still telling me all this? Just take care of whoever is in a hurry."
Ai Xiaoxia saw that Jiang Zhi's sister had arrived. They were about to leave anyway, so they didn't want to delay her. She walked to the door and said to Jiang Zhi, "Aunt, please let the guest in quickly. Jing Shen and I will go back first. I will talk to Jing Xin tomorrow if there is anything."
Then the two of them politely called Jiang Cao "Auntie" and left.
Jiang Cao didn't expect that Jiang Zhi had guests, and she said to Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen a little embarrassedly: "I'm not going in, you don't have to leave in a hurry, I'll just say a few words and be back." She couldn't leave her home for too long, so she was usually in a hurry when she went out.
Ai Xiaoxia said, "Auntie, we were about to go back. Look, we've already put on our scarves and hats. We'll leave first. What do you think?" Then she said to Jiang Zhi, "Goodbye, little auntie."
Lu Jingshen also said goodbye to Jiang Zhi and Jiang Cao again, then pulled Ai Xiaoxia downstairs.
Lu Jingxin also greeted his aunt Jiang Cao, and then sent Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen downstairs.
While going downstairs, Lu Jingxin thanked the two of them individually. After a few words, they talked about the situation at Lu Jingxin's family. Lu Jingxin also said that the conflict at home had been going on for more than a day or two. Anyway, he supported his mother's decision to divorce.
Ai Xiaoxia also felt that at Jiang Zhi's age, if they really couldn't make it anymore, there was really no need to keep them together.
After talking for a while downstairs, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen went home.
When they got home, Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen and smiled, "Originally, we wanted to embarrass Grandma today, but we didn't do anything and ended up seeing her so devastated."
Lu Jingshen also laughed: "I also wanted to prove myself to my parents and let my grandma see that the son she didn't think highly of also had a future, and that the son she was so proud of wasn't so glamorous either. But in the end, I didn't say anything and just saw their most embarrassing side."
"Do you think my uncle will agree to a divorce?"
"Not necessarily. He is selfish and won't agree to a divorce easily."
"That's true, but I think my aunt is determined to get a divorce, so she can still get it done."
"My grandma has always wanted to save face, but this time she really has no face."
"I'll call my parents and tell them about my uncle so they can have some idea about it." Ai Xiaoxia picked up the phone and called Lu Guojiu in Shiqiao Township.
In her heart, Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen are like her own relatives. They are the first people who gave her warmth after she arrived in this time and space.
Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia and smiled. This girl really had no regard for her in-laws. She treated them like her own parents. She talked to them about everything and called Li Shaofen every day, talking for half an hour at a time. They had such a happy chat.
He consciously poured a glass of water for Ai Xiaoxia, sat beside her, and listened to Ai Xiaoxia chatting animatedly with Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen on the hands-free phone. He occasionally joined in with a few words. He really liked Ai Xiaoxia's personality. She was really not picky about who she was nice to, but if this girl got into a fight with someone, she would definitely not hesitate.
When Lu Guojiu heard Ai Xiaoxia talking about Lu Guosheng, he also sighed. He really didn't think about this.
The next day, Ai Xiaoxia went to the store at around eight o'clock and told Jiang Xiuying about Lu Jingxin coming to work as a part-time worker. They were indeed very busy and had said before that they wanted to hire two part-time workers. Having two more part-time workers to do odd jobs during meal times would indeed make everyone's life more relaxed.
Ai Xiaoxia said that there is no need to take care of him just because he is a relative, but to train him, so just do what you need to do.
Jiang Xiuying has always known Ai Xiaoxia's ideas, so she also said that she must strictly require Lu Jingxin.
Lu Jingxin arrived before nine o'clock.
Ai Xiaoxia asked him to go to the interview with Jiang Xiuying and she would not participate.
Jiang Xiuying took Lu Jingxin to the private room upstairs for an interview to discuss salary. Jiang Xiuying knew all of this.
After the interview, Jiang Xiuying said that Lu Jingxin was good and passed the interview. She found him work clothes and told him to start working today.
The salary is one dollar and fifty cents per hour. He can work four or five hours a day. After deducting rest and other miscellaneous expenses, he can make one hundred and fifty cents a month. This income is not small for a part-time employee. The problem is that he has more work to do than a normal employee. He goes wherever there is a shortage of people, and does more dirty and tiring work than a normal employee.
Lu Jingxin was very satisfied with the job. He promised to do a good job, changed into his work clothes, and went to the kitchen to help.
Ai Xiaoxia was still very satisfied with Lu Jingxin's attitude.
After dealing with Lu Jingxin's matter, Ai Xiaoxia found Fang Lan'e and said that she would go to Fang Lan'e's in-laws' house tomorrow to check on the situation.
Fang Lan'e has been thinking about this these days. She is a little worried about Ai Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, please take a few more people with you."
Ai Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll ask Qiangzi to accompany me. It's convenient for him to drive, and I can ask Qiangzi to bring a friend with him."
Fang Lan'e nodded: "Okay, I don't trust you anyway."
"I've made up my mind. If they don't make any move, I'll try to solve the problem with money?" Ai Xiaoxia wanted Fang Lan'e to get rid of that family completely.
"I'm not willing to give the money to their family. I might as well just stay out there. I don't believe he's not anxious. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I don't plan to find another husband after the divorce. I'm fine living alone now." Fang Lan'e has no expectations for marriage and love, and she is even afraid of it. She believes that there is true love, but it may not belong to her. Her previous marriage has scared her, and she doesn't want to take risks.
Ai Xiaoxia knew that Fang Lan'e's heartache would not heal in a short time, but she also knew that dragging it out with the man was not the best solution: "If you don't divorce, he might harass you again at any time. Divorce is a necessary step for you to start a new life."
