Chapter 248 Heartless Siblings
Jiang Yanni was very firm: "No, I mean no."
But she was still a little reluctant to part with it, after all, it was worth a lot of money: "How about you give me a red envelope after I get into university, just like the one for Third Brother?"
Jiang Jianni: "...Okay, here's a red envelope for you."
As for those workbooks and such, well, I've already bought them, so what's the point of returning them?
Besides.
After doing housework for about twenty days, Jiang Yanni was truly forced to understand that housework is something you should do occasionally to change your mood.
But if you do it every day, every month, and it's all the same repetitive stuff...
Everyone gets irritable at times.
She didn't know how her mother could live such a life day after day for decades.
All she knew was that after experiencing this life for twenty days, she now felt a strong sense of rejection towards the simple, happy life she had once longed for.
She now envies her older sister more.
Work hard to earn money, then spend it to hire a nanny.
She can not only do housework and keep the house clean and tidy, but also help take care of the children, who are very well-behaved.
Another thing is that the day trip to the Crystal Palace left a very deep impression on her.
All of this requires money.
She needs to be able to make money like her older brothers and sisters, and make a lot of money.
Unlike her older brother, who, despite not being a good student, could learn everything else quickly and was able to lead a team to do renovations.
Unlike her second sister, she doesn't have such a vivid imagination, able to write witty and interesting stories from any random scene.
The simplest way she could think of to make money was to study hard and find a good job after graduation.
Forget about government jobs; the pay is too low. You can barely afford to eat and drink, let alone hire a nanny.
But she can work in a private company.
She had been secretly observing that private companies were offering high salaries to college graduates.
In their area, they're offering college graduates salaries of 700 yuan, but they still can't find enough people.
Seven hundred a month is enough for her to live on and to hire a nanny.
So, although she said she didn't want the workbook, her refusal wasn't actually firm.
We're all students, and with two top students already in our families, who wouldn't want to do well in their studies?
Although Jiang Jianni wasn't particularly good at reading people, the years she was older than Jiang Yanni weren't wasted.
Besides, Jiang Yanni is still young, and her worries are written all over her face.
She nodded at her speechlessly, turned and left, telling her to hurry up and finish the rest of her summer homework.
There's nothing I can do. Although I can concentrate better and do more problems when I'm watching Dudu because I'm nervous, her foundation is weak, and Jiang Haiyang is busy and still assigns her homework.
So much so that with only two days left before school starts, she still hadn't finished part of her homework.
Moreover, there are five crucial 800-word essays and summer vacation diaries to complete.
These repairs are so difficult to use even for writing.
As soon as Jiang Jianni went out, she punched Jiang Haibing on the shoulder by the door and whispered, "It works well. He seems much more sensible now."
Jiang Haibing shook his head and sighed, "This girl never learns from her mistakes; she'll forget about it in a while."
"We'll have to give her some more treatment during the summer vacation."
Jiang Jianni laughed so hard she almost fell over, but she didn't dare let Jiang Yanni, who was diligently doing her homework, find out. She was holding it in with great difficulty: "You little devil, you've always been cunning and wicked since you were little."
"I never expected that he would even resort to such underhanded tactics against his own sister."
"If Jenny finds out later, she'll hate you to death."
Aside from those less-than-ideal families, even if a girl from an ordinary family is sixteen or seventeen and no longer goes to school, she usually does most of her time at home besides working to earn money and washing her own clothes.
Unlike Jiang Yanni, who truly experienced the daily life of a married housewife.
Jiang Haibing shrugged: "I don't expect her to repay me."
"As long as she can manage herself and not cause me any trouble, that's fine."
Yes.
As the eldest brother, his expectations were naturally that low.
It would be great if my younger siblings were successful, but if they weren't, I wouldn't mind helping them out if I had the means.
However, it is absolutely unacceptable for someone to hold the family back.
For example, someone like Jiang Yanni.
He couldn't understand why Jiang Yanni, who had received a modern education and attended moral education classes, still held the same mindset as before liberation.
While others were desperately seeking liberation and freedom, Jiang Yanni deliberately chose to bind her feet with cloth.
Jiang Jianni asked curiously, "What are you planning to do with her during winter break? Will you continue to make her watch Dudu do chores?"
"This won't work, will it? She definitely won't do it."
Jiang Haibing didn't hide it from her: "She thinks it's easy for us to make money, so I plan to let her go and make money during this winter vacation and next summer vacation."
"She gets to keep the money she earns. Do you think she'd be willing to do it?"
Jiang Jiani knew the answer without even thinking.
Dry.
Definitely.
Jiang Yanni loves to look pretty and dress up. She likes new clothes and now she also enjoys wearing makeup.
Jiang Yanni had used the lipstick and eyebrow pencil on her dressing table before. Although she had mentioned it, it was rather complicated, considering she was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Her family will buy her new clothes, but they will never buy her cosmetics.
She would readily agree to earn money just to buy these things.
I wonder if she'll regret it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jianni couldn't help but feel a little smug and whispered, "When the time comes, you should let her find a job on her own first."
"When you really can't find anyone else, then arrange another one for her."
"Otherwise, she still won't know what's good for her and will think that finding a job is easy."
Finding a job is never easy.
Since the large-scale return of educated youth to the cities, all cities have experienced a surplus of labor.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many street thugs and local bullies on the streets, nor would there be any gangs or similar entities.
There was a crackdown in the early 1980s, and with the rapid development of the private economy, the situation improved considerably.
But now, with the wave of layoffs intensifying, there are more idle people on the streets again.
This time, it's not just young people who can't find jobs, but also middle-aged people who are unemployed.
In a newly opened small restaurant, people are scrambling to get the job of washing dishes.
Jiang Yanni, a student who hasn't even graduated yet and knows nothing, how could she possibly compete with those older men and women?
Jiang Haibing was initially worried that Jiang Jianni would plead for her, but upon hearing her words, he was not only relieved but also chuckled, "You really do understand her."
"Okay, leave this to me. I'll make sure she experiences how easy it is to make money."
Well, he can also arrange for a few people to compete with Jiang Yanni for the job.
Thinking of this, the ruthless brother and sister couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
Yang Yuemei came over to call for help and saw the two of them grinning maliciously. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you two doing?"
Jiang Jianni said, "We were just chatting idly. Mom, didn't you go to see Lu Yi and the others? Why are you back?"
"Trying to set up a stall to make money again?"
