"Who are you to her?" Huang Ying's voice immediately turned cold.
This question struck a chord with Qi Ran, who immediately began to vividly complain to Huang Ying, "We are her older brother and sister-in-law."
"Auntie, you have no idea how outrageous Shen Qianqian is at home! She doesn't do any work all day, just eats and sleeps, and she gets angry if anyone says anything to her."
"Look," Qi Ran said, patting her protruding belly, "I'm pregnant, and I still have to go home and cook for her, and take care of her!"
Huang Ying immediately understood. So these two were just like her—they couldn't stand that brat Shen Qianqian!
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Huang Ying naturally wanted to use the two of them to annoy Shen Qianqian.
"Sigh." Huang Ying sighed, "How about this, to repay you for saving me, I'll do you a small favor."
“I know this person you’re talking about too,” Huang Ying continued. “I just heard that her husband recently got a job at the steel factory. How about this, I’ll write a letter to the factory manager later, and you can have your husband start working there tomorrow.”
This is truly an unexpected delight.
Qi Ran grinned from ear to ear. She had only wanted to get some gifts or something, but she never expected to be able to directly replace Lu Yunzhi's job.
This is truly an incredible stroke of luck!
Qi Ran didn't stand on ceremony and quickly pulled Lu Yuncheng aside to thank her: "Then we'll thank Auntie for her kindness first."
"I understand. With this job, we'll have a reason not to serve her anymore."
The three exchanged a few more polite words, and seeing that it was getting late, Qi Ran and Lu Yuncheng prepared to say goodbye, but Huang Ying called them back just as they were about to leave:
"Wait a minute, do you have any money on you? Lend me some so I can take my child to see a doctor."
Although Qi Ran was dissatisfied, he thought that he might be able to gain something from this woman in the future.
Wanting more benefits, he gritted his teeth and took out the fifteen yuan he had on him and gave it to Huang Ying: "Auntie, we came in a hurry and this is all the money we brought with us."
In the past, Huang Ying would never have cared about such a small amount of change. But now, due to the circumstances, having 15 yuan is already quite good.
She accepted the money, said goodbye to the two men, and took Shen Dabao to see a doctor.
... ... .
Qi Ran and Lu Yuncheng also returned to the Lu family.
As soon as they returned to the Lu family home, they found that the whole family had already finished dinner and had left them two cold cornbread buns and some wild vegetable soup.
Old Mrs. Li approached with a face full of apology: "Eldest son and eldest son's wife, I said I would wait for you, but you know how temperamental fifth son's wife is..."
After saying that, she secretly slipped two eggs into Qi Ran's hand: "Here, consider this Mom's compensation to you."
Qi Ran held the warm egg in her hand, her bad mood from seeing the cold dish earlier completely gone: "Thank you, Mom."
Is today perhaps her lucky day?
First, she got Lu Yunzhi's job, and then she got two eggs for free. She's definitely going to celebrate properly with her man tonight!
Ever since Qi Ran learned that the fifth son's family was having special meals prepared for them, she and her husband secretly hid some things in the house, imitating the fifth son's family and occasionally having a special meal prepared for themselves.
However, this kind of thing must never be known to others. Otherwise, it won't be so natural for him to take special care of the fifth branch of the family next time.
Qi Ran and Lu Yuncheng found a lot of food in the room and chatted quietly about the day's events until very late.
In their fantasy, they would soon be able to move into the staff dormitory and completely get rid of the Lu family, those bloodsucking monsters!
Shen Qianqian noticed that the lights in the main room were unusually bright tonight, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong. But today, Qi Ran avoided her like the plague, and the two couldn't even make eye contact.
Lu Yunzhi looked at Qianqian's furrowed brows and gently pressed his cool fingertips against her brows: "If you keep frowning, a small mountain will pile up here."
Shen Qianqian couldn't help but smile when she saw Lu Yunzhi's serious face. She reached out and hugged him, feeling his body temperature and familiar scent.
No matter what happens, at least in this lifetime we will always be together.
Lu Yunzhi got up early to go to work at the steel factory. Lu Yuncheng whispered a few words to Old Lady Li, and then followed Lu Yunzhi onto the bus to the city.
"The air in the city is just different."
Lu Yuncheng was in an exceptionally good mood today. For a moment, he felt that he wasn't much worse than the fifth brother.
Lu Yunzhi was baffled. Had his older brother been brainwashed too much by his sister-in-law and gone stupid?
He thought his older brother had come to the city to do something else, but Lu Yuncheng just followed him all the way to the steel factory.
The two stepped into the steel plant at the same time, where the plant manager was already eagerly waiting.
Factory director Zhao Ling strode forward, extending his hands enthusiastically to the two men, but completely ignoring Lu Yun.
Zhi merely shook hands with Lu Yuncheng: "Oh, I've finally waited for you! A comrade like you, who bravely stands up for what's right, is exactly the kind of talent our factory needs!"
He exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Yuncheng before noticing Lu Yunzhi beside him: "I almost forgot, you're here too. You don't need to come to work anymore; there's a better candidate for this position."
After saying that, Zhao Ling affectionately pulled Lu Yuncheng away, leaving Lu Yunzhi with only his back view.
Only now did Lu Yunzhi realize why Lu Yuncheng had come with him today; it turned out that Lu Yuncheng had known all along that his position had already been taken.
His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched unconsciously. He still couldn't understand why his elder brother, whom he had respected and loved since childhood, had started to hate him ever since he joined the army.
In the end, he still couldn't figure it all out, and secretly let go of her hand.
It's just a job, and Lu Yunzhi is never short of such an opportunity. He can make a name for himself with his own hands!
Shen Qianqian thought she wouldn't see Lu Yunzhi until evening, but she didn't expect that she had just gotten up.
Then I saw him return, and I quickly went up to him and asked, "Why are you back? Did work go well today?"
Lu Yunzhi managed to maintain a calm tone, trying his best not to let his emotions get in his voice, and recounted the whole process to Shen Qianqian.
Although Lu Yunzhi had tried his best to hide his emotions, how could Shen Qianqian not know the resentment in his heart?
This job was earned by Lu Yunzhi through countless brushes with death on the battlefield! Why should Lu Yuncheng take it from him?
She was determined to get to the bottom of it!
Shen Qianqian pulled Lu Yunzhi along: "No, you have to come to the factory with me right now. I need to see what's going on!"
Looking at his wife's indignant expression, Lu Yunzhi felt a warm glow in his heart, sweeping away his earlier disappointment. He let his wife pull him to the factory gate once again.
However, this time, the two saw an unexpected person as soon as they arrived at the door.
