Wang Ziwen was somewhat confused as to why her brother-in-law would object. Although he hadn't explicitly stated it, asking the question was tantamount to objection itself.
Seeing that his brother-in-law didn't speak, Li Chu knew what he was thinking, but he really didn't know how to explain it. After thinking for a while, he finally spoke.
"Brother-in-law, I don't know how to describe Li Baonian, but you've known him for a longer time, so you should know him better than I do. I just want to ask you a question: if my sister goes there and has some disagreements with Li Baonian at work, what will he do?"
You know my sister is very straightforward and can't tolerate the slightest imperfection.
Although Li Qin was chatting with Ding Qiunan on the side, she was also listening intently to what was happening over there.
Hearing her brother's evaluation of her, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Actually, she didn't like Li Baonian very much either, but because he was her husband's friend, she had never said anything about him.
But it would be absolutely unacceptable for her to work with such a person.
Li Chu's words also awakened Wang Ziwen. He realized that his considerations were indeed somewhat one-sided. If what his brother-in-law just said really happened, Li Baonian would definitely turn against him.
Now he was in a dilemma again: where should he arrange for his wife to go?
"Brother-in-law, I don't know much about your government departments. Are units like libraries easy to transfer to?"
“Library…” Wang Ziwen kept muttering to himself.
Oh right, how could I forget that? The city's cultural and historical affairs office is short of a deputy director, and nobody wants to go there.
It's a great place for leisure and retirement.
If my wife goes here, her rank will be raised by half a level.
Moreover, absolutely no one would fight for this position; on the contrary, she freed up a position as the director of a subdistrict office, and countless people should thank her.
Wang Ziwen looked at his brother-in-law with shining eyes and said, word by word, "Office of Literature and History."
Don't worry, you can tell what kind of department it is just from the name.
Li Chu shrugged and didn't say anything.
Wang Ziwen then turned to look at Li Qin: "Xiao Qin, did you hear what I just said?"
Li Qin nodded indifferently: "You two can discuss it. Anyway, I have to be free. If I have to be busy or have to scheme against others, I'd rather not do anything."
Alright, the rest is up to Wang Ziwen. As for how he operates, that's none of Li Chu's business.
"Alright, everything's settled. My family and I will be leaving now. Sis, I'll come to your place as soon as I get to work tomorrow morning?"
"Why are you coming so early? I don't even know when the landlord is coming. You should go to work and wait for my call."
"Alright," Li Chu nodded, raising his voice to call out, "Huihui, Xuanxuan, come out, it's time for us to go home."
The two little ones lingered in Wang Jiayuan's room for a while before finally coming out.
Ding Qiunan and Li Qin each grabbed one of them and helped them put on their cotton-padded coats that they had taken off before entering the house, along with hats, scarves, and gloves, making them fully armed.
Li Chu stood up, took his wife's cotton-padded coat, and after she dressed the child, he helped her dress as well.
That's the downside of winter; it's so cold outside that just putting on and taking off your coat to go in and out is incredibly annoying.
This made Li Chu want a car even more, as it would be much more convenient. Although cars these days don't have air conditioning or heating, having something to block the view is still much better than riding a bicycle.
But that's all he can do; even if he works for another ten years, he still won't reach the point where he can have a private car.
Luckily, it's not far from home. Even so, when we got home, the two little ones were all red from the cold.
It was much better once I got inside. The heating was on 24/7, and the temperature inside was consistently around 20 degrees Celsius.
The two little ones took off their long underwear as soon as they entered the house and ran around wildly all over the place.
After taking off her cotton-padded coat and overcoat, Ding Qiunan went straight into the bedroom. A while later, she came out and tossed Li Chu two thousand yuan and a household registration booklet.
"Here you go, but you need to return the rest of the money!"
Li Chu found it somewhat amusing to see his wife looking so distressed.
"No problem, I'll definitely get it back for you no matter how much money is left."
Ding Qiunan probably realized she had been a bit greedy, so she stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, sat on her husband's lap, and put her arms around his neck.
"Oh dear, don't laugh at me! It's such a lot of money, I definitely have to feel a little heartache!"
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh, I won't laugh. Our family is so lucky to have saved up so much money thanks to you."
"Hmph," Ding Qiunan knew perfectly well that these words were meant to tease her, and she twisted her body in dissatisfaction.
Wenhui, who was playing with the dogs near the doghouse, turned around and saw her mother sitting on her father's lap.
She ran over with her short legs, and when she got to her mother, she stretched out her fingers and scratched her cheeks up and down, saying, "Shame on you, Mom is ashamed, you're so big and you're still sitting on Dad's lap."
Ding Qiunan had just sat on Li Chu's lap without thinking.
She is usually quite careful not to be too intimate with her husband in front of the children, mainly because she is not used to it.
When her daughter brought up those days, her face flushed red instantly.
But she still stubbornly told her daughter, "This is my husband. What's so shameful about me sitting on my husband's lap?"
“This…this is my dad.” Xiao Wenhui didn’t know how to refute her mother. She didn’t understand what her husband meant and could only emphasize that she was sitting on her father’s lap.
“He is your father, that’s true, but he’s also my husband. I can sit here whenever I want. You weren’t even born when I sat here.”
Li Chu watched with amusement as his wife bickered with his daughter like a child.
When Xiao Wenxuan saw that his older sister seemed so anxious that she couldn't speak, he hurriedly ran over.
"Mom, only little kids can sit on Dad's lap. You're so big now, you'll hurt Dad."
"Hey, you two little rascals, without me sitting here..."
Ding Qiunan was about to say that without me sitting on your father's lap every day, she didn't know if the two of you would even exist, but suddenly realized that this was wrong. She couldn't say such vulgar things to the children.
Li Chu knew exactly what his wife had almost said, and chuckled as he patted her back. He then helped her sit on one leg, and reached out to lift their daughter and son onto the other leg.
"Alright, now you can all sit down. Dad is sturdy, you won't get hurt."
He had his arm around his wife with one arm and around their two children with the other, while his legs bounced up and down.
"Wow, Daddy is so amazing!" Little Wenhui sat on her father's lap, nestled in his arms, and giggled.
Little Wenxuan leaned against his older sister, clapping his little hands incessantly.
