Chapter 372 The Li Family’s Conflict



Seeing his gloomy expression, Liu Gang stopped teasing him and agreed, "Old Qi is right, Old Wang. If your third son really doesn't recognize you, then you shouldn't recognize him either. Don't blame me for being harsh. If he's really an ungrateful person, then you can't rely on him for your retirement. Instead, he'll bring unrest to your family."

The good thing about having many children is that giving up one is not a big problem, because there are other options anyway.

But Master Wang seemed quite embarrassed.

On the one hand, I thought what they said made sense, but on the other hand, I couldn't bear to do it, so I kept silent.

At this time, Master Song couldn't help but say, "Lao Wang, if you really can't do it, just draw lots to decide. That's the most fair and reasonable way."

"Come on, you're just giving bad ideas. Do you understand the importance of respecting the elders? If I really choose this method, what will his second son think? Besides, with his third son's personality, I really don't think he will be a filial person. If he is really chosen, what if he and Lao Wang have a falling out one day? Wouldn't this job be in vain?" Master Qi rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

What he said makes a lot of sense. If people in this era get benefits, they are basically distributed according to seniority.

For example, when it comes to work, the eldest son in the family will be considered first, followed by the second son, and then the third son.

Most importantly, using a lottery method to decide the ownership of benefits actually means that parents do not value the older child. How will he feel about this?

Although this method is fair, it can cause endless troubles if used at home.

Therefore, he felt that Master Song's idea was a bad one.

After thinking for a while, Master Wang still couldn't make up his mind, so he said, "Let me think about it again. You should also think carefully about it, so as not to cause unrest in the family because of this matter."

"Our family's situation is different from yours, and we are not like you who always thinks of treating everyone equally. If those who didn't get a job have any objections, just get out of the house." Liu Gang and others said.

Then someone asked, "Xiao Li, what are you going to do with your job quota?"

They knew that Li Xu was not married yet, let alone had children, so it would be more difficult for him to secure this job than for them.

Li Xu answered without hesitation, "I'll go home and discuss it."

"Then you have to think carefully, otherwise this job will have nothing to do with you."

Except for Liu Gang, no one else knows Li Xu's family situation, so they said this.

But they were also thinking about Li Xu, so he didn't say anything more, but agreed to them one by one.

During dinner, Li Xu explained the situation. Li Jiakang and others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

There is no way. They have already arranged people to work for Li Jiafu and the Sun family. They can't just give this job to them, right?

Besides, Hu Guilan doesn't want to go to work, so I really don't know what to do.

After much deliberation, Sun Xiu finally asked, "How about this? You give this job to Xiaohong, and then let her second brother take over her job first. If our family needs it in the future, we can let him or their family give up a job. How about that?"

The Du couple has enough work for Du Feng and Du Sen each, and after such a long period of contact, everyone in the Li family feels that their family's character is quite reliable.

If it were someone else, Sun Xiuzhen would not dare to make this suggestion.

Otherwise, if I'm not careful, this job will have nothing to do with the Li family, and it will be too late to regret it then...

Li Xu scratched his head, a hesitant expression on his face. "The third child is already in his teens. He can only graduate from junior high school at best. By then, Du Feng should have been promoted to a full-time employee. Who will give up his job then?"

First of all, Du Ming and his wife will definitely not give up their jobs.

Because their level is not low and they receive a lot of salary every month, if they retire early, they will lose a lot of money.

Moreover, Du Feng had already been converted to a full-time employee by then. If he was asked to give up his job, he would have to be an apprentice for another three years when he took over the job of the Du couple. How could he be willing to do that?

If something goes wrong, it will cause conflict, so Li Xu doesn't want to do that.

After he reminded them, Sun Xiu and the others reacted, and then said helplessly, "What should we do? We only have these few people in our family who can work, and they all have jobs. We can't just leave this position unused, right? Besides, you have to hand in the list tomorrow morning. If you don't, who knows if this job will still count?"

This is the embarrassing part of the Li family. There are only a few people in the family, and except for Hu Guilan, all other people of working age have jobs.

It is not easy to find a replacement at the moment.

Li Xu even thought about giving the job to his aunt Sun Min, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

It's nothing else but because this job may be needed in a few years. If that's the case, Sun Min and his family will have to return to the countryside. By that time, will they still be able to endure the hardship after not doing farm work for a long time?

If they can't stand it, then this decision is equivalent to harming them.

Next, the Li family came up with several ideas, but rejected them one by one. There was really no other way, so Li Xu had to go to the Du family to discuss it.

After hearing what happened, everyone in the Du family looked at each other, and then Du Ming asked, "Second brother, what do you say?"

Ultimately, this matter depends on Du Feng's choice. If he can agree to it, then there will be no problem.

Du Feng's face looked extremely conflicted, and it seemed he didn't know what to choose.

At this time, Li Xu put his final chip on the line and said, "Brother Feng, if you agree, all the money I've earned over the years will be yours. And maybe Li Chen won't need this job anymore, so you can keep doing it and return it to me after Uncle Du and the others retire."

"Huh?" Du Feng was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant, and asked quickly, "What do you mean?"

"I've told a few uncles before that if they get a job quota in the next few years, they will have to hand it over to me. By then, my third child will be able to work and naturally won't need your job."

This was the promise he had made from those leaders in exchange for food, but he couldn't guarantee that those people would definitely get the jobs.

Du Feng also thought of this, and his expression became even more tangled, "What if they don't get it?"

"Then there's nothing we can do." Li Xu spread his hands and answered calmly.

After thinking about it, Du Feng shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't go. You can ask Xiao Sen. He happens to be getting married soon, maybe he will agree."

He is different from Du Sen. As the retirement support candidate for Du Ming and his wife, his financial situation is still very good, so he is unwilling to take a job that may be lost at any time for a few dollars.
