Seeing that he refused, Li Xu did not force it, but turned to look at Du Sen, "Xiao Sen, you should have heard most of what I said just now. Are you willing to go to work?"
Du Sen didn't expect that this matter would involve himself, and he was unable to react for a while.
So Li Xu had to ask again.
Du Sen came to his senses now and quickly replied, "Brother-in-law, it's no problem for me to go, but I still have to practice martial arts."
Li Xu and others understood that he was refusing.
This kind of thing is hard to force, so Li Xu didn't say anything more and instead asked, "Xiaohong, let me ask you one last time. Do you have any other thoughts about changing jobs?"
"No." Du Hong answered without hesitation.
She hasn't been converted to a regular employee yet, and the work at the supply and marketing cooperative is much easier than at the hemp spinning factory. Besides, Li Xu also works there, so how could she have any objections?
"Okay." Li Xu nodded and continued, "Uncle Du, Aunt Yang, I won't sit down anymore. I have to go back and discuss with my family who will take over Xiaohong's job."
Hearing this, Yang Li's face suddenly showed a helpless expression, "Xiao Xu, don't take what happened today to heart. Xiao Feng and the others have been spoiled by me and your Uncle Du. They don't want to suffer at all. I will teach them a lesson later."
Du Feng and Du Sen: ?
You guys are treating us like that by beating or scolding us?
Li Xu knew the situation of the two brothers, so he tried to persuade them with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Aunt Yang, you're overthinking it. This isn't a good thing in the first place. It's not their fault for refusing. If we really force them to go to work, they might blame us later. Besides, I've already prepared for rejection, so please don't lecture them."
Hearing this, Yang Li glared at the two brothers, then said, "Well, since you still have something to do, we won't keep you here."
She also knew that this was not an easy job. If she was not careful, it would cause everyone to turn against each other. Moreover, their Du family was not short of money, so she was very satisfied with the refusal of the Du Feng brothers.
I just said that to give Li Xu some face.
Now that Li Xu said there was no need to teach Du Feng brothers a lesson, she naturally stopped insisting.
Then Li Xu returned to his home.
After he told Li Ping that both Du Sen brothers had refused, he hesitantly asked, "What should we do then? Who can we find to replace Du Hong's job now?"
On the way back, Li Xu had already thought it through, so he replied, "Give it to Brother Yitong, and then let Brother Yitiao join the car team."
"Ah?" Everyone in the Li family exclaimed, "Xiao Xu, you are not kidding, are you?"
Li Xu sighed and said helplessly, "There's really no other way. The entire Li family can't find a suitable candidate right now. The Sun family is in the countryside. If the replacement has to give up the job in a few years, no one knows if he can still adapt to farm work in the countryside. So we have to do this."
This is indeed a last resort. If he can be sure that those leaders can give him a job, then he can give the job directly to his aunt Sun Min.
But he couldn't get this guarantee, so he could only pick a general from the short ones and find someone from the Hu family to temporarily replace him.
After all, the Hu family is a city dweller. Even if they lose their jobs, they won't feel such a big loss. They can just think of themselves as temporary workers.
Before Sun Xiu and the others could express their opinions, Hu Guilan, with her belly bulging, repeatedly waved her hands to refuse, "No, the Hu family has received enough favors. This job is absolutely unacceptable."
Li Jiakang thought for a while and said, "Guilan, Xiaoxu is right. We really can't find anyone to take over. We can't just abandon the job and leave it there, right?"
It's quite funny. Other families are worried about too few job vacancies, but their family is just the opposite. They are worried about too many vacancies.
"Yes, Guilan, your family can just treat this job as a temporary job, so that you can increase your income." Sun Xiu agreed.
After much persuasion, Hu Guilan finally wavered. After some thought, she said, "We can't let Yi Tong go. My father made him Xiao Xu's apprentice because he's older and more composed. If we need someone to take his place, let Yi Tiao go. Then have him write an agreement that he'll give up his job whenever our family needs him."
Hu Yitiao is the third son of the Hu family. He is the same age as Li Xu, but a few months younger.
Hu Guilan was worried about his temper, so she insisted on letting the more calm Hu Yitong be Li Xu's apprentice.
As for the second son of the Hu family, he is working as a temporary worker in a hemp spinning factory.
Moreover, private agreements in this era are legally binding. Once signed, the Hu family has no choice but to acknowledge it.
She was also afraid that the Hu family would be greedy and would not be willing to return the job to the Li family, so she made this suggestion.
Li Xu and the others looked at each other, all hesitant, "How about we just agree on it and forget about it?"
Although the agreement is useful, if the Hu family really writes this thing, it will clearly mean that they do not trust them.
It would be fine if the Hu family could understand, but what if they can’t?
But Hu Guilan insisted, "This is a stable job. Although you trust my family, I don't dare to trust them. What if someone really gets greedy and refuses to return it? How can I continue to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family then?"
After hearing this, everyone agreed immediately and stopped trying to persuade him.
Then Li Xu and Li Ping went to the Hu family to talk about the matter. Hu Yang and his wife were very reasonable and signed the agreement very happily.
After leaving the Hu family, Li Xu went straight to the Du family.
So, the next day Li Xu reported Du Hong's name.
Seeing this name, Liu Gang was surprised, "Xiao Xu, isn't this your fiancée?"
"That's right."
Liu Gang was even more puzzled. "She's about to get a permanent job, so why did she change jobs to come here?"
"It only takes three months to become a regular employee here, and the work is easy, so she agreed to come."
"You gave her the job?"
"No, she and I haven't gotten married yet. Her family wouldn't accept such a generous gift, so we swapped jobs. This job is for her, and hers is for me."
Li Xu and his wife are not married, and the Du family is well-off. Du Ming and his wife are people who care about face. Even if Li Xu gives this job to Du Hong, the Du family will not accept it, otherwise they will be suspected of selling their daughter.
If this matter were to get out, people would laugh at them to death.
Liu Gang nodded as if suddenly understanding something. "You make sense. Exchanging jobs is the best way. That way, you two can be together every day."
Li Xu said unhappily, "Apart from transporting supplies, we just rest at home. How come we're together every day?"
