"It's good that you have this kind of thinking now." Zhang Shengtian sighed. Life is tough these days, and everyone is trying to find ways to make it easier.
However, compared to other options, he still felt it was better to go outside.
There are more opportunities outside.
"Yes, but I'm just a farmer, and I've never been out before, so I don't know what it's like outside." Fang Yaoqing gave a simple and honest smile.
"I was thinking of asking my two brothers-in-law for help."
This time, with Fang Yaoqing present, his words were very agreeable. Although he still had some demands, it made Zhang Shengtian feel comfortable.
Zhang Shengtian could agree to this without even asking his two sons, saying, "It's nothing, I can still offer some advice."
"Qingguo, you should talk to your brother-in-law properly, so that he will have a better idea of what to do when he looks for a job."
When he said this so excitedly, he didn't see the sudden stiffness on Zhang Aiai's and the other person's faces.
Just offering an idea? That won't do. They came to help their two older brothers find good jobs.
Zhang Aiai immediately became anxious, "Big sister, this... can Wen Nuan only offer an idea?" In her anxiety, she also had to remember to keep a straight face.
"Then what else do you want?" Zhang Aiai's words made Zhang Shengtian realize that this matter was probably not so simple.
All the joy, happiness, and relief I felt vanished, leaving only a chill in my heart.
Then, his voice softened, and he asked coldly.
"Of course, we should let our brothers find jobs. Where are we supposed to find work?"
“Both of my older brothers are government employees, they have connections and know people, so it’s much easier for them to find us than for us.”
"Besides, if they can find good accommodations, why don't they help us?"
Fang Yaoqing couldn't stop her, and Zhang Aiai blurted out everything in one go.
Fang Yaoqing's face was very ugly, his eyes were dark as he stared at Zhang Aiai, this stupid woman who was good for nothing and good for making things worse.
No wonder my father-in-law is angry!
Moreover, the brother-in-law would probably feel uncomfortable about it.
As expected, Zhang Shengtian's expression grew even colder, and Zhang Qingguo also looked at his sister indifferently.
Both of them couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Hah, so that's what they were planning!
Oh, I see!
"You really overestimate us. We really don't have that ability," Zhang Qingguo said with a hint of sarcasm.
“I’m just an ordinary employee, I don’t have that much ability, so I can’t help you with what you’re talking about.”
This is not entirely impossible.
However, it will take him a lot of effort and connections to get this done.
If Zhang Aiai and her sister hadn't been so calculating, Zhang Qingguo would still have been willing to help his sister.
However, being schemed against, even by a family member, makes him uncomfortable and unwilling to do so.
My first reaction was to refuse, saying, "I think you should figure it out yourselves; we can't help you."
After saying that, Zhang Qingguo fell silent, not even looking at his sister. His mood, which had just lifted, turned gloomy again.
It seems that his younger sister has really changed, becoming somewhat unfamiliar, someone he doesn't recognize.
She's even started plotting against her own family!
"Second brother, how can you say that? If you don't want to help, just say so. Do you have to make excuses like this?" Zhang Aiai questioned angrily.
"I'm still your own sister, how could you treat me like this? You won't even help me with such a small thing."
"You still know you're my own sister?" Zhang Qingguo roared angrily. "You're my own sister, and you scheme against me? Is this how you treat me?"
Zhang Qingguo was truly heartbroken!
If a younger sister needs help, the older brother will definitely do everything he can to help.
But my sister has too many ulterior motives in her heart. She only thinks about using her family. Even the best relationship will be damaged!
Now, no wonder he's injured.
"How have I treated you? All I wanted was to have a better life! Was I wrong? Was I really wrong?"
“You are all college students, you all have government jobs, and you live a comfortable and easy life.”
"What about me? What about me? I'm stuck in this tiny place every day, with nothing to my name, and I still have to work every day. Do you think it's easy for me?"
“Now, I’m asking you to do me a small favor, and you’re making excuses like this. Are you still my brother?” Zhang Aiai also felt wronged.
She poured out all the grievances, sadness, and hardships she had kept bottled up inside over the past few years.
But her words were so selfish and infuriating that they made Zhang Shengtian and Zhang Qingguo's expressions change.
Zhang Shengtian, in particular, was trembling with anger. "Ai'ai, is that what you really think?"
"When you were preparing for the college entrance exam, did your brothers tell you anything? Did they help you study?"
"What did you say back then? You said you didn't want to take the exam, and you weren't willing to take it. Was that right?"
As the only girl in the Zhang family, Zhang Aiai must have been educated, and her education level was quite high.
She was about the same age as Song Lili, so if Song Lili could get a high school diploma, so could she.
She gave up on it herself, but now she's blaming them.
“I…I…I didn’t know at the time. If I had known, would I have done it?” Zhang Aiai also broke down.
She also regretted it, regretted giving up, regretted why she was blinded by greed and didn't want to take the exam.
That's why she was jealous of Song Lili, why she spoke to her sarcastically, and why she felt uncomfortable whenever she saw her.
Otherwise, since they both went to the capital, why didn't she have the same feelings for Lin Xue?
It was because she was jealous, jealous that Song Lili had things she didn't.
That's why they speak harshly, using it to disguise themselves.
"Ai'ai, I told you before that you have to take responsibility for your own choices, and even if you regret them, you have to bear the consequences yourself."
"We have done nothing wrong to you, nor do we owe you anything. This is something you should bear yourself."
Zhang Shengtian was also exhausted; this daughter was completely spoiled!
She used to be such a cute and pretty girl, how did she turn out like this?
There was no joy left in my heart, only sorrow.
Just as Song Lili had predicted, she would have to endure sadness and pain beforehand.
Knowing that your daughter has plotted against you is more painful than having your flesh cut off with a knife!
“Ai’ai, your brother also said that she can’t help with this, so don’t even think about it.”
“Your brother didn’t lie to you. He really doesn’t have the ability to do what you asked for.”
Zhang Shengtian waved his hand, his words filled with exhaustion.
Just now, he was thinking about whether he should talk to his eldest daughter-in-law and arrange a job for Yaoqing at the hot pot restaurant.
At this moment, he was somewhat relieved that he hadn't spoken out of turn and revealed his true intentions.
Otherwise, their scheme would probably have succeeded by now.
