Under the persuasion of the eldest sister-in-law, the couple reluctantly reached a consensus and pooled money to buy a job for Hu Guangzong.
The next day, both of them did not delay their work. Hu Xiangnan worked as a cutter in a lumber factory in the county town. He seized the opportunity to ask his superior for three months' salary.
"My children are grown up now. How can he, the only boy, go to the countryside? I want to buy a job and get some money in advance."
Since it concerned his only son, the leader couldn't persuade him and just approved it.
Hu Xiangnan felt complicated when he received the 105 yuan. He returned to his workplace and borrowed from his fellow workers who were on good terms with him.
They had all known each other for more than ten years, and since Hu Xiangnan had a serious job and knew him well, they weren't afraid that he would run away. You contributed ten yuan and he contributed twenty yuan, and they quickly raised 130 yuan.
Hu Xiangnan wrote IOUs to each of them, pressed his fingerprints on them, and promised to pay them back within a year. If they could not pay them back within a year, he would charge an additional 2% interest per year.
That is, if you borrow 10 yuan and repay it within one year, you will have to repay 12 yuan in the second year and 14 yuan in the third year.
Everyone has difficulties at some point, and everyone helps each other.
With 235 yuan and red fingers, Hu Xiangnan returned home with a heavy heart.
He handed the money to Wang Chunyan: "I took an advance of 105 yuan and borrowed 130 yuan. I have to pay it back within a year."
The factory's advance wages were very smooth, a small stack sealed with a white paper strip with the words "advance from Hu Xiangnan" written on it; the workers' money was more messy, with different creases for each person.
Wang Chunyan sighed and put the money away. "I went to ask my mother today, and she said there are no job opportunities at the Xiang family."
Hu Guangzong immediately responded, shouting, "What should I do? Mom, find me a job! I don't want to go to the countryside!"
Hu Xiangnan frowned and slapped him on the shoulder: "What are you making so much noise for? Children, stop interrupting when adults are talking. Go play with your sister!"
A 16-year-old child couldn't hide anything, so Hu Guangzong walked out of the house with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, stomping his feet so loudly that it shook the earth.
Wang Chunyan was too lazy to argue with him because he was so childish. "Buying a job requires timing. I've already told mom to let my younger sister and her help me keep an eye out for jobs."
Ming Erni is at the gold and silver jewelry counter, and people with some money will go there to buy. They can also easily get job opportunities. As for Wang Chunting, it is naturally the Xiang family.
"I'll listen to you. Mom and my younger sister will look for it from both places. I've also talked to my coworkers about buying a job." Hu Xiangnan nodded with satisfaction.
His wife is difficult to deal with, but she will try her best to do things once she agrees to do so. So Hu Guangzong is really not that good, as he gets angry when he encounters any setbacks.
The two of them exchanged ideas about job opportunities, but unfortunately too many people in the city didn't want to go to the countryside, and there was a shortage of jobs in the factory, so how could they get one easily?
The three jobs that Chen Wei was rewarded with were given to him because he had opened up a new path and was about to build a branch factory. Where would so many jobs come from normally?
The couple fell asleep worriedly.
But he didn't know that in the next room, Hu Guangzong was staring at the ceiling with wide eyes.
"My sister is right. How can I buy a job with just over 200 yuan? And my stepmother's job directly gives me insurance. I am the only son in the family. Can you beat me to death?"
He thought to himself and fell asleep with the quilt pulled on him.
The next day, Wang Chunyan made breakfast and rushed to the department store to work, without noticing that there was a little tail following her.
Hu Guangzong did not make a scene immediately, but waited until there were more people in the department store. Then he rushed to Wang Chunyan's counter, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.
Before he could even say a word, he had already attracted the attention of everyone who was shopping nearby, and they gathered around to watch the fun.
Wang Chunyan's face turned green. She could only quickly help him up and whispered, "Guangzong, what are you doing?! I told you my family is trying to find a solution for you..."
"Mom, I will definitely be filial to you! Please give me the job. I will be going to the countryside soon. I am all alone and helpless. You can't ignore me for my sister!"
Hu Guangzong was indeed a young man, his voice was full of energy, and not only the second floor, but also the third and first floors could hear it.
The onlookers were talking about it, and soon someone who knew the situation said that Wang Chunyan was Hu Guangzong's stepmother, and he might have been treated harshly.
What a cruel treatment!
Wang Chunyan was so angry that she fell backwards. "What are you doing?! You have to break up the family to be happy. I told you I'd find it for you!"
"Look, look, look, look, when will I find it, Mom? I can't wait, I will definitely be filial to you two in the future. Please, give me the job!"
Hu Guangzong deliberately wore clothes with the most patches and tattered rags. In contrast, Wang Chunyan was dressed decently for work. Public opinion immediately made her think that the stepmother was a vicious stepmother who mistreat her poor stepson.
He cried miserably and knelt down to kowtow to Wang Chunyan, looking even more pitiful.
With so many people pointing and talking, Wang Chunyan wanted to strangle this kid to death.
Before Wang Chunyan could object, her boss came out and said, "Go back and resolve your family conflicts first. Don't deal with family issues during work hours."
"Boss, huhuhu, boss, please stop. Let's make this clear here. Can I consider Chunyan taking a leave today?"
Ming Erni, who had hurried down and was still catching her breath, was discussing with Wang Chunyan's leader.
She knew that once her daughter came home to deal with work matters with her stepson, everything would be over. If yellow mud fell into her crotch, it would be shit.
When it comes to the relationship between a stepmother and her stepson, too many people tend to think that the stepson is the one who is bullied and feels pity for them, but they don’t know that the job of a stepmother is difficult and she faces every dilemma.
Seeing so many people eager to eat melons, Wang Chunyan's leader had no choice but to agree.
Ming Erni breathed a sigh of relief, took off her crooked glasses and put them away, then smiled a little and said to Hu Guangzong:
"Son, have you ever thought about where your mother got this job?"
