On Monday, Liu Yun left home without even having breakfast, carrying her household registration book and graduation certificate and her schoolbag. Luckily, she had boiled some eggs the previous afternoon and ate them as she walked.
I arrived at the department store at just eight o'clock. I breathed a sigh of relief after completing the onboarding procedures and transferring my household registration to the company. The most important thing today was to see if I could transfer my household registration to the company so that I wouldn't have to worry about being signed up for rural work.
When the director led me to the finance department, everyone inside was already busy.
"Come on, we have a new colleague in our finance department, Xiao Luo, why don't you mentor her?"
“Okay, my name is Luo Huaying, you can just call me Sister Luo.”
"Okay, Sister Luo."
"Your job is simple; it's just checking the goods and the people. These are the goods that arrived in the last couple of days. I'll take you to the warehouse later to verify them..."
Liu Yun's working life officially began. The job was good and easy. It seemed she would have to send something to Teacher Yuan during the holidays.
When Liu got home from get off work, her mother was already cooking. She handed the household registration book and the cloth to her.
Seeing the cooking reminded her that she still had a cooking task. Today, Liu's mother knew that she had gone shopping, but this couldn't happen again tomorrow. She couldn't hide her work situation anymore, but her household registration had already been transferred, so there was nothing to worry about.
After dinner, Liu Yun confessed about her work.
"Mom, I found a job. It was recommended by a teacher at school. I just started working today."
"What kind of job?" Liu's mother was very surprised. Not only was Liu's mother surprised, but everyone in the Liu family was astonished. They never expected that their usually quiet younger sister would find a job on her own.
"A data clerk at the city department store."
"What?" Xu Hongxing exclaimed in surprise. The others were also quite surprised, not expecting that the job was in the city and the office was in a department store.
Xu Hongxing couldn't sit still any longer. "Xiaoyun! You're capable and young, unlike me. I've had a really tough time since I got pregnant. I won't take advantage of you. Let's switch jobs. Putting everything else aside, you should also feel sorry for your nephew."
Liu Yun chuckled inwardly after hearing this; the couple hadn't even changed their tune—they were truly shameless. Liu Jing, on the other hand, burst out laughing.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Hongxing finished speaking, General Manager Liu chimed in.
"Mom and Dad, you saw it with your own eyes! Hongxing has suffered so much during her pregnancy! And it's twins! How big will her belly be? Will she even be able to bend over? Besides, what could be more important than our Xu family's grandson!"
That's right. Xu Hongxing has been causing trouble all this time. He went to the hospital once and found out he was twins. He started acting like a madman at home, and Liu Jing was repeatedly defeated.
"Your kindness, sister, is something I remember well. Don't you agree? It's patriotic."
"Yes, I will never forget my third sister's kindness. With your brother here, your in-laws won't be able to lay a finger on you. Let them know that your family has someone to rely on."
The couple's back-and-forth banter completely prevented Liu Yun from speaking.
"Alright, it's settled then. Tomorrow, the third son and your sister-in-law will switch," Liu's mother decided, and Liu's father nodded in agreement.
Before Liu Yun could even say a word, her job had already been taken over. No one asked her a single question! This was the original owner's family.
"Ha, when did I agree to the change?"
"What do you mean?" Liu's mother slammed her hand on the table.
Liu Aiguo also said angrily, "Third brother, you don't even listen to your parents anymore, is this unfilial?"
"Since you're so filial, why don't you and your wife switch jobs, or give your job to your wife and find another one yourself?"
"What, you've grown wings and don't want to take care of the family anymore?" Mr. Liu angrily slammed his pipe on the table.
"Third son, look how angry you've made your father! How can you be so insensible?" Liu's mother continued to question.
"Say whatever you want, I'm not going to change jobs. Like I said, if you want a good job, go find one yourself. If you don't have the skills, don't talk nonsense. If you don't have the ability, don't take on a job you can't handle. Eat only what you can eat."
"You... Ouch, my stomach." Xu Hongxing quickly clutched her stomach.
"Wife," Liu Aiguo quickly helped Xu Hongxing up, "Liu Yun, if anything happens to your sister-in-law's child, I'll make you pay."
"Don't you understand the principle of 'eat only what your bowl can hold'? What does it matter to me what she does? If that's really the case, why doesn't she just fly to the moon? Look at all the leaders out there, she didn't get the position, does that mean you'll die if she doesn't get it?!"
"Pfft, hahahahaha." Liu Jing found it amusing to see Xu Hongxing so angry. Ever since she pretended to go to the hospital and found out she was twins, Xu Hongxing had been giving her sarcastic remarks every day, and Liu Jing couldn't do anything about it.
Liu Aidang was also happy, since whether he got the job or not was none of his business, but he was pleased that Liu Aiguo was unhappy. So, as the eldest brother, Liu Aiguo's actions were rather pathetic.
"Third son, do you think you can act with impunity just because you have a job? You're still part of this family," Liu's father said, glaring at him.
"So I should work like an ox for my boss's family? What does his incompetence have to do with me?"
"Indeed, he's the eldest of four siblings. He should have been a role model for us. He was an apprentice, right? Dad, you helped him find a job, and the family even paid for his permanent position. When he got married, he used his sister's dowry money, and he's always eyeing his sister's job. And his wife is the same. If she wants to change jobs so badly, why doesn't she switch with her siblings? Or Liu Aiguo can find her a job himself. What does it have to do with us? I got my girlfriend through my own efforts, Liu Aiguo. That's what a man does. I found my girlfriend myself. You're just trying to steal her from your family. You're either a coward or a bloodsucker. The third brother found his job himself, without relying on the family at all. The fourth brother is still studying. Judging from the current situation, the eldest brother is the most pathetic."
