By the time Old Man Wu took leave, went home to get his work certificate, and followed Xiang Mianmian to the department store, the aunts had already subdued Hu Guangzong.
He sat on the ground with a dull look in his eyes, looking pitiful but no one sympathized with him.
Ming Erni was tired of standing, but a colleague brought her a chair to sit on. When she saw Old Man Wu come in, her eyes lit up.
The other aunts finally said something kind and let poor Hu Guangzong go.
Being stared at by so many women, Old Man Wu was frightened and trembled. He walked over to Ming Erni and said, "Why did you think of the work certificate?"
"I can't help it. Someone is coveting the work my old man left behind. If I don't tell them about it, they'll go to the grave with me."
Old Man Wu shook his head and took out the work certificate: "Here, everyone, take a look. Our children are all debts. Our two families were helpless at the time."
Isn't this what everyone has been waiting for?
So this yellowed paper was passed down among the aunties, with two lines of words written on it:
Wang Chengyong died of illness and his work was handed over to his spouse Ming Erni. With the consent of the parties involved, Wu Tai took up the job of a coal furnace worker in the steel plant.
In the lower right corner there is the time and signature, the fingerprints of the two people, and the official seal of the steel plant which has faded a little.
When it was being passed, Hu Guangzong wanted to grab it, but two or three aunts quickly held him down.
After verifying the authenticity of the work certificate and the timing, everyone sided with Ming Erni.
With everyone's support, Ming Erni rescued Hu Guangzong and straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, as if she were the most caring grandmother.
"Guangzong, grandma knows you want to stay in the city. Your mom has been trying so hard to come up with ideas, and her hair is falling out. Everyone has been told to contact her if there are any job vacancies. How could you let her down?"
A gentle knife, but every blow is deadly.
Ming Erni never said a harsh word and was very caring towards this non-blood-related grandson, but the more she did this, the more everyone criticized Hu Guangzong.
"She's not a human being. Who wouldn't praise her stepmother for what she did? Go ask around at the Liu family in the back street. The three children have all gone to the countryside, so what do they want from Chunyan?"
The woman said while cracking melon seeds and shaking her head.
"You don't understand. This stepson is considering sending his stepmother's child to the countryside! Wang Chunyan has only one daughter, and Hu Guangzong has a biological sister." The woman next to her rubbed her shoulder.
"Bah, Hu Guangzong inherited Chunyan's job, and his sister inherited Hu Laoer's? Oh, why don't you become an abacus, this is fun to play, don't waste the child's talent!"
The women who were cracking melon seeds looked at Hu Guangzong in amazement.
Wang Chunyan received everyone's sympathetic looks, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but it was better than being betrayed by her stepson.
Ming Erni took back the work certificate and handed it to Old Man Wu, saying with a tired face:
"I originally wanted to just let it go, but the Hu family isn't satisfied with just one job, so let's just give them some face and buy the things and go back."
The melons will not decrease as people leave, but will only spread wider and wider.
"Chunyan, bring Hu Guangzong with you and follow me." Ming Erni had solved the reputation problem, so naturally she had to solve Wang Chunyan's work problem.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren entered the leader's office.
Ming Erni smiled apologetically at Wang Chunyan's boss and said, "Sister, I'm really sorry. My child at home is ignorant and has delayed my work. I apologize to you."
The leader was actually quite satisfied with the experience, but he couldn't say: "What a bad influence you are causing! The child needs to be properly disciplined!"
The two adults nodded in agreement.
Hu Guangzong was not afraid of being scolded. He had always been the most favored in the family and did not take it seriously at all.
Wang Chunyan's boss got mad at him and slammed the table in mock anger, "Look at him, what kind of attitude is that?! Wang Chunyan, go back and reflect for three days and submit a 3,000-word self-reflection on your dereliction of duty. You'll lose your perfect attendance and your honorable mention this month!"
This damn kid!
Wang Chunyan begged desperately, but the leader waved his hand and drove them out of the office.
Ming Erni and Wang Chunyan went out with sad faces, followed by a lazy Hu Guangzong.
Xiang Mianmian, who was watching secretly outside the door, heard the long-lost sound of fireworks.
[Chi~Bang! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Keep Wang Chunyan's job within 86 hours. Reward: 10 system storage slots.]
Heavenly sound! Here I come, Little Treasure~
She ran home happily to study the small treasury, completely ignoring the fact that her short legs were still sore after running for a long time.
After entering his room, Xiang Mianmian quickly locked the door and began to study the system storage compartment with peace of mind.
Four of the system storage compartments are already occupied, containing chairs, pens, computers, and paper.
Xiang Mianmian then remembered that these were her first novice rewards.
"Xiao Liu, how can this take up 4 of my spaces? This isn't fair!"
System 6 popped up: [Don't bother, I've been keeping these for you for half a year, and you haven't used them.]
Xiang Mianmian was furious: "Where am I going to use them? Pens and paper are barely suitable for my student status, but how do I explain chairs and computers?"
[Anyway, it's up to you. As long as the items are different, 99 of them will occupy one slot. You can take them out and put them back in at any time. Time will stand still, and they won't spoil.]
Xiang Mianmian got the hint and mumbled for a while before trying to comfort himself that at least there were still 6 grids available.
She dug out the pocket money she had saved from the cracks in the bricks in the corner of the wall, counted it carefully, and then put it into the system storage compartment.
The storage compartment immediately showed that one compartment was occupied, and there was ￥: 21.56 yuan in it.
Fortunately, money counts as one.
Xiang Mianmian continued to rummage through the box. There was still some money inside, but after thinking about it, he decided not to put it into the system.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
