Li Guoliang said, "My daughter received a payment for her published article and bought it specifically for me."
"What a filial daughter! She's never bought me anything before. And this was bought with her writing fees! That's amazing! Hahaha."
Li Guoliang remained silent, though he felt much more relaxed. He remembered that his daughter hadn't had enough money to buy a pen yesterday, and that she probably didn't have much pocket money.
After everyone left, he called Wu in and said, "Wu, take five yuan to Pingping for her living expenses. She's going to university now, and she'll have a lot of expenses."
"Okay." Wu grabbed the money and ran off quickly.
When Li Ping received the five yuan Wu gave her, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Sister Su Yu's advice is really effective.
...
The Su family is holding a large meeting, and even Secretary Song is in attendance. Of course, he doesn't have the right to speak yet; he can only listen in.
Su Zhi has passed the conscription office's inspection and the political review is also completely fine. He is preparing to go to the army in mid-October and become a glorious soldier.
Then his position became vacant.
This position was originally created by Su Yu, so naturally she is the only one in the family with the most say in it.
In the past, Su Yu would have gone to great lengths to secure such a position, but now it's unnecessary. She can easily arrange a job in a textile factory now. Using it to bribe people wouldn't be appropriate among the people she knows.
You might think that way in your heart, but you certainly can't say it out loud.
She said solemnly, "Zhi is a good position. It's a permanent job, a secure job. Whoever gets it will benefit from it for life."
Well, at least they can hold out until the wave of layoffs.
Liu Mei swallowed hard, looking at Su Yu. She didn't dare utter a word, no matter what she was thinking, afraid of upsetting Su Yu. She always tried to get benefits for her in-laws.
Su Yu said, "We don't have many relatives. What I'm thinking is that instead of using it to exchange for favors, it's better to exchange it for something more practical. After all, there will be many places where the family will need money in the future. I'm planning to give up this position and see which family needs it. If they offer us 1,500 yuan, I'll agree."
The whole family looked at her.
Su Dazhi asked, "Sister, is 1,500 okay?"
"Why can't it work? An ordinary worker can earn four or five hundred a year, and he can earn it back in three or four years. He won't be short of food in the future. Isn't that a good thing? Don't worry, once I spread the word, our doorstep will be worn down by people."
"Oh," the whole family nodded.
Su Yu added, "This money doesn't count as family property. You all know how Zhi got his job, right?"
Su Zhi immediately said, "Sister, it's yours, it's yours."
Su Zhi has already spoken, so naturally no one else has the right to speak. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with them.
Before even having lunch, Liu Mei wanted to go back to her parents' home to visit her family.
Su Yu didn't say anything and let her go, even having Su Dazhi ride his bike to take her there.
Su Lin immediately puffed out her cheeks and reported, "Sister, no need. She must want to go back to her parents' home to help get benefits. She's just trying to get all the benefits to her parents' home, unlike us Su family members."
"Don't be like that, we're all family, we should love each other. Even if the meat rots at home, it's still our meat."
Su Lin: "..." My sister-in-law has completely bewitched me.
Lunch had just been finished, and the dishes hadn't even been cleared away when Sister-in-law Liu and Brother Liu rushed over. After exchanging pleasantries, they started talking to Su Yu about work.
Su Yu said, "This matter... is really difficult to handle. I just spoke with others, and they've already started bidding against each other. They've already offered 1,800. You know how hard it is to recruit workers these days. It's a secure job, a job you can live on for a lifetime, everyone's scrambling to hire you."
Sister-in-law Liu was stunned. Eighteen thousand?
She had borrowed the 1,500 yuan from several families.
If she hadn't acted quickly, the second son would have gotten there first.
"My dear sister-in-law, look, we're all relatives..."
“You’re right. For Liu Mei’s sake, I have to take care of Lao Liu’s family, right? Fine, even if it offends other families, I’ll sell this job to you for 1,500.”
Sister-in-law Liu's heart was in turmoil, but upon hearing these words, she suddenly felt relieved and broke out in a cold sweat.
Su Yu said, "Well, who can blame us for being relatives? You're Liu Mei's family, aren't you? Isn't it only right that you help each other out? After Liu Mei gives birth, won't it be your in-laws, the old lady, who takes care of her?"
"..." Sister-in-law Liu, what does this mean? The Su family's children are to be taken care of by the Liu family?
Liu Mei listened from the side, looking at Su Yu with deep gratitude. Her eldest sister was so kind to her; she even thought of this.
Su Yu looked at Sister-in-law Liu with a smile.
Of course, we need to find someone to take care of the child; we can't let Liu Mei stop working in the future.
Su Yu said with a smile, "Actually, many elderly women in our textile factory area don't work, and they're willing to help take care of the children. It's even more convenient for them."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Sister-in-law Liu quickly said, "Of course it's the right thing to do. We're all relatives, how can we not help? Besides, it's always more reassuring to have family members take care of the child. Isn't that right?"
Su Yu smiled and nodded.
With the money paid, the matter was considered settled. Su Yu wasn't worried about the Liu family defaulting on their debt later. Getting rid of someone from the textile factory was also easy for her.
After Sister-in-law Liu left, Liu Mei was moved to tears. Sitting next to Su Yu, she wiped away her tears and said, "Sister, you're so good to me. I'll definitely give birth to twins for the Su family."
Su Yu glanced at Liu Mei sideways. What did it have to do with her what happened? She was worried that Liu Mei would find an excuse not to go to work, which would mean one less source of income for the family.
Seeing that it was still early, Su Yu simply dragged Secretary Song to the municipal government area to see Song's parents.
On the way, Su Yu leaned against Secretary Song's back, deliberately putting on a nonchalant expression, and said, "Look, this is how I scheme against even my own family. Aren't you scared?"
Secretary Song said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? Without your scheming, they wouldn't be living such a good life." With the character of his two brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, who knows what their lives would be like right now if they didn't have their own partners.
Su Yu happily bit Secretary Song on the back.
Fortunately, he was also a heartless person.
