It wasn't because Zhou's father and mother were greedy, but because they were squeezed out by others, so they took the job without much hesitation in a fit of anger.
Zhou's mother has an older sister who is one year older than her. They have never gotten along since childhood and always want to compete with each other in everything. The winner always mocks the loser.
In the past, they competed in getting married, and in this regard, Zhou's mother was completely defeated.
At the beginning, both of them married workers, but later Zhou's mother's brother-in-law became a leader in the factory with his own abilities.
Now they have no comparison.
Unwilling to give up, Zhou's mother compared her child with her sister's again.
However, she gave birth to many children, and her sister gave birth to even more.
The most important thing is that her family does not have the ability to arrange jobs for all the children, but her sister's children can go to work as long as they reach the age.
Naturally, when it comes to the child, Zhou's mother lost again.
However, Zhou's mother was still unwilling to give up. After careful consideration, she felt that she could not earn face by relying on her husband and son, so she placed her hopes on her eldest daughter, Zhou Miao.
She wanted Zhou Miao to find a husband whose family was better off than her sister's so that she could turn the tables.
It is for this reason that she and her husband gave Zhou Miao the job they had worked so hard to get, so that she could be more competitive in the blind date market.
You know what, she really made the right move.
Zhou Miao, who had a job, appeared on Li Chen's blind date list and was chosen by him.
It was 1967, and Li Mei was being promoted at the rate of one level per year. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had a bright future.
Moreover, her husband is a son-in-law, so she is still a member of the Li family.
Not only that, in addition to her, the Li family has several other workers. Li Ping is also working very well in the street office, and there are rumors that some factory leaders are relatives of the Li family.
Faced with such a Li family, Zhou's mother happily married Zhou Miao to them.
Zhou's mother's sister was unwilling to lag behind and also wanted to marry her daughter to a well-off family.
At that time, her husband was already one of the senior executives in the factory, so it was easy for her to find a relative of the same level.
She thought she had won another round because Li Mei was just Li Chen's sister.
Unexpectedly, before Zhou Miao could be happy for long, Li Mei was suddenly appointed as the director of the fertilizer factory and gave him a target.
Now Zhou's mother was terrified and kept mocking her sister.
Her main idea is only one thing: your daughter married well, why don’t you see her giving benefits to her parents’ family?
Her sister was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she had no way to refute it, so she could only try to get back at him in other ways.
Zhou's mother knew that she could not compare with her in other aspects, so she always talked about her daughter.
In this way, the two sisters mocked each other, and each time they both ended up hurting each other.
Originally, Zhou's sister thought that this situation would not change, but unexpectedly, half a year ago, Li Chen suddenly resigned and went out to do business with his two brothers.
This gave her an opportunity.
She felt that doing business outside was unsafe, and even if she could make money, it would not be much.
What's more, the money earned is at least shared among three people, and Li Chen, as the youngest, will definitely not get much.
In this way, Li Chen would not be able to give much filial respect to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
She can also take advantage of the situation to make some pressure.
In order to achieve this goal, in recent days, after dinner, she ran to her sister's house and waited for Li Chen and his wife to come and pay their respects.
She just happened to be waiting for me today.
She first asked about Li Chen's business outside, and then said that he made money from the business, but it was unacceptable if the filial piety he gave was still as little as in previous years.
Li Chen didn't want to get involved, so he didn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, she became excited and said something like maybe she lost money in business, that people should be honest, and that she shouldn't resign.
This not only made Zhou's father and mother very angry, but also Li Chen and his wife were very angry. They thought, who are you insulting here?
Without saying a word, Li Chen immediately handed the 600 yuan he had prepared to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Everyone in the room was stunned by this scene. They didn't know whether he was angry with someone or had planned this all along.
But no matter what the reason was, Zhou's father and mother would never accept it.
However, just as they were trying to refuse, Zhou's sister suddenly said, "Don't try to be so pretentious."
Once these words were spoken, the old couple of the Zhou family had no choice but to accept it.
So they took the money, and then Zhou's mother mocked her sister openly and secretly, making her face turn green, and soon left in anger.
After everyone left, Zhou's mother smiled. "Finally, she's gone. Xiaochen, take the money back."
Li Chen shook his head and said, "Mom, this money was originally intended to honor you two elders."
The Zhou family's eyes almost popped out of their heads when they heard this.
Before he could say anything, Zhou Miao said, "Dad, Mom, just accept it. This little money is nothing to us."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at her sister-in-law and sisters-in-law seemingly unintentionally.
Even though she has little say in the Li family, her status in her mother's family is extremely high.
It's nothing else, it's just because she made her parents proud and gave her mother the confidence to fight back against her sister.
Every time she returned to her parents' home, her parents would ask her about her well-being and give her the good things at home.
Those good things were specially saved for her, and no one else in the family could get them except her.
This caused her sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law to have a lot of complaints about her.
She was not stupid, so she could see it naturally. Besides being angry, she couldn't help but think of making a move.
At this moment, she just wanted to see their expressions.
Their eyes were red, their faces looked extremely eager, and even their breathing became heavy.
