"What's so great about the Hu family's old house? Is a shabby house worth two of our jobs?" Zhang Jidi snorted coldly.
Sometimes you can’t even buy a regular job with 800 yuan, and you also need the right time, place and people. A temporary job will definitely cost 400 yuan, which adds up to 1,200 yuan!
The monthly salary of an ordinary formal worker is 21.6 yuan. It takes a formal worker to work for eight years without eating or drinking to earn 1,200 yuan, not to mention the invisible favors he or she has to pay for the job.
"I won't change. Those twins, a boy and a girl, have never left my side since they were little. This job wouldn't be easy for anyone else. Why would I care about a shabby house? Liguo, I'm telling you, this is not negotiable!"
When Zhang Jidi gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, many people praised her for her good fortune. However, people who knew medicine told her that generally only one out of a thousand pregnant women will have a pair.
It is also difficult to support. After much difficulty in raising the child to 11 years old and getting these two jobs, there is no way that they can be given up. Not to mention Wang Chunting's elder sister asking for them, even Wang Chunting, the daughter-in-law, cannot do it!
Xiang Liguo was in a dilemma: "Mom, that house is big, just right for our family. Lili and Lihua are still young, so we can find jobs later."
"Don't I know what kind of person you are? You don't want to go out and rent a house and spend money, right? Liguo, you have no conscience. You don't care about the lives of your brothers and sisters, but only care about the few dollars I make every month. What's the point of supporting you?"
Xiang Liguo was speechless: "Mom, that's not true. I didn't... Wang Chunyan married Hu Er. The two children in the Hu family couldn't wait any longer. They were going to be taken to the countryside on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. They had no choice but to find me."
"No matter what's going on in his family, your brothers and sisters haven't figured it out yet, and your relatives from the Eighth Route Army are also involved. This is impossible!" Zhang Jidi didn't even bother to eat and went back to his room angrily.
Xiang Liguo wanted to persuade them again, but Xiang Lili and Xiang Lihua rolled their eyes at him, choking him and making him stop talking.
In this era, taking someone's job is like killing their parents. Even brothers and sisters are doing this. Xiang Liguo is really disgusting.
Xiang Liguo felt quite aggrieved. He had inquired about the old house of the Hu family, and found out that it was very large and luxurious, and was worth at least 1,500 yuan. It was the eldest brother Hu who was in a hurry to sell it for the sake of his children, and he wanted to take advantage of the bargain.
But he didn't expect that these two jobs were so important to the twins that even his mother ignored him.
[This old house is the reward given to you by the system. I suggest you help your eldest brother persuade your mother to agree to the exchange.]
Xiang Mianmian was gossiping about the affair between Xiang Liguo and her mother when she was suddenly sprained by a word from the system's Xiao 6.
[You're crazy! I have to fight for the reward myself?! I'm impressed by you, you idiot.]
Before System Xiao 6 could figure out the difference between Xiao 6 and Lao 6, Xiang Mianmian rolled her eyes and had no choice but to go and help.
Xiang Mianmian entered Zhang Jidi's house and before she could even open her mouth, she heard Zhang Jidi say, "You've made it big, big brother. Who taught you all these tricks to scheme against your brothers and sisters?!"
Zhang Jidi thought that Xiang Liguo was still a traitor and wanted to persuade him, and the coldness in his words was no less than the heavy snow outside.
He cleared his throat and called out "Mom".
Zhang Jidi turned around and saw that it was her. His expression brightened a little. "What's wrong with Mianmian? Don't pay attention to your brother's elbow."
Xiang Mianmian was helpless: "Mom, it's not my brother who asked me to come here, we really need to move this house."
Without waiting for Zhang Jidi's expression to change, he immediately said, "I heard from Chen Wei's brother-in-law that the new methane plant will be located in the Hu family area, and the demolition compensation is very generous!"
This news must be fake. Xiang Mianmian was just trying to get the system reward. She was planning to collude with Chen Wei in a few days. She held Zhang Jidi's hand.
"Mom, think about it. The Hu family's ancestral home is so big. How much will the compensation be? It can accommodate more than 20 people in the family of three brothers. If we buy it, it will definitely be more expensive than a regular worker and a temporary worker. This is a good opportunity."
When talking about demolition compensation, Zhang Jidi fell silent.
Because the Zhang family was the beneficiary, even the six sisters broke up because of this. She knew too well how huge a windfall the demolition would be.
After a while, Zhang Jidi finally calmed down and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Tell your brother to ask the third child of the Hu family to come over. Not one of the three brothers can be left behind."
This was something to talk about. Xiang Mianmian cheered in her heart and hurried out to tell Xiang Liguo the good news.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people should visit their elders to pay New Year's greetings, but Xiang Hongqi took the younger generations to bow three times in the direction of their hometown, as if they were returning to Xiang's home.
In order to break away from the Xiang family, he wrote a letter of severance, sent 20 yuan a month as pension until Xiang's mother died, and the Xiang family must not disturb his family.
Therefore, the Xiang family has few relatives in the county, and naturally they don’t visit them often.
The next day was the second day of the Chinese New Year, the day when married women returned to their parents' home. Zhang Jidi packed a small bag and went to visit her fifth sister.
She has six sisters, and the only one she can still contact is her fifth sister Zhang Laidie who lives on the other side of the county. The two of them don't interact much in their daily lives and only visit each other during the Chinese New Year.
The Xiang family is a mess, and so is the Zhang family.
On the third day of the New Year, Boss Hu showed up, along with his two brothers who all had gloomy faces.
Who would be happy about selling their ancestral home?
None of the three brothers Hu had a smiling face.
Zhang Jidi didn't care and sat in the main seat accompanied by Xiang Hongqi, Xiang Liguo and Chen Wei.
She was not in a hurry, but Boss Hu was. He could only speak first: "I want both temporary workers and regular workers at the match factory."
"Okay, where are the land deeds and house deeds of your Hu family?" Zhang Ji was not panicked at all, just staring at Boss Hu.
The three brothers looked at each other, and Boss Hu took out the land deed first.
Hu Lao Er and Hu Lao San were dithering, and Zhang Jidi lost his patience: "It seems that you haven't reached an agreement. Come over after you have discussed it."
