Fang Yanming was getting impatient. He couldn't reason with them no matter what, but there was nothing he could do. They were his biological parents, so he could only put up with it.
"I didn't say I wouldn't acknowledge it, I just told my eldest and second eldest brothers not to make promises to others so easily in the future. I don't have that much ability, and even if they make promises, I can't help them. I'm just giving them a heads-up."
Fang Yanming certainly didn't say that on purpose. His two older brothers were good-for-nothings, not very capable, and easily influenced. When they were young, they listened to their parents, and after they got married, they listened to their wives and parents, as well as some other people with ulterior motives. They had no opinions of their own.
"What's wrong with your brother and the others? They're just helping people find jobs. They're all from the same village, so what's wrong with helping them find jobs?" Old Mrs. Fang felt that her youngest son was becoming more and more unfamiliar. He was no longer the son who would do whatever she told him to do. It must be that city woman stirring things up. City people are cunning and wicked.
Fang Yanming was at his wit's end. He went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, which made him feel a little better. He glanced at his two guilty-looking brothers and sneered inwardly.
“I’m just a policeman, not a big boss who owns a company. My older brothers ask me to introduce them to jobs every now and then. Every time they come, I have to pick them up, help them arrange accommodation, and help them find jobs. Every now and then, I have to go and check on their parents to see if they are doing well. I’m busy working for others all year round. Do I even need to go to work?”
Fang Yanming's tone was very impatient. He said that it was fine to help introduce people occasionally, since they were from the same village and he wasn't that petty.
But after the first time, more and more people came to him, including many who weren't from his village. When asked, it turned out they were from his two sisters-in-law's hometowns. Now his place has become a job placement agency.
Frustrated beyond endurance, Fang Yanming finally refused all offers and decided not to help any of them. Now was the perfect opportunity to make things clear so that his two older brothers wouldn't cause him any more trouble by trying to save face for him.
Fang Yanming's words left the Fang family speechless. The two sisters-in-law lowered their heads in embarrassment. Fang Yanming was definitely talking about them, because they had indeed asked their husbands to find jobs for people in their hometown village some time ago, and there were quite a few, which they couldn't remember exactly.
My brother-in-law is so petty. It's just introducing some jobs, it won't take long at all, why is he so angry?
No wonder people say city people are stingy, unlike the honest country folk. My brother-in-law has been in the city for a long time and has become just as petty as the city people. Now that he has married a city girl, this family relationship will only become more and more distant!
Grandma Fang doesn't care about finding a job; if she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to. All she wants is a grandson.
"It's fine if you don't go back to hold the banquet, your father and I will. We have to get back all the money we gave out as gifts before..."
Fang Yanming interrupted her, "You and Dad can keep the money from our share."
He could still make the decision. Fangfei wasn't someone who cared too much about money, and even if everyone in the village gave a gift, he estimated it wouldn't exceed a thousand yuan. There was no point in taking it back; let his parents spend it!
Grandma Fang and Grandpa Fang's expressions softened a bit. If we're talking about being generous, it has to be their youngest son, who sends money every month. Their Fang family used to be one of the poorest in the village, but now they're among the best. Even the village chief has to flatter them!
“Okay, your father and I will keep those money for you.”
Grandma Fang was somewhat relieved that her son wasn't going back to his hometown, otherwise the gift money would have been several hundred yuan. She would have felt bad about giving it, but she was afraid her son would have a problem if she didn't. It was just fine as it was now.
