Liu Yun felt disgusted by Liu Aiguo's appearance. She hated men who were bullies at home but had no skills outside and only knew how to act like a lord at home. They were truly disgusting.
"Brother, what are you saying? We did discuss it with our family! My husband, Lao Yu, made me sell my job. After all, he's been transferred to Xiangshi, and he certainly can't leave me and the child here! I had to sell my job quickly, and my parents-in-law strongly agreed. Don't you think so, Lao Yu?" As for why they haven't gone there yet, that's another story.
Yu Qianhe couldn't possibly undermine his wife; he knew what was more important. "Yes, that's right. The child is still so young; it's better for him to stay with his parents. Besides, the educational resources in Xiangshi are better. It's just that I'm sorry to have to sell your job and travel around with me."
"I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged."
Watching the two of them sing in unison, Liu Aiguo and Xu Hongxing were practically grinding their teeth in frustration. They had reason to suspect that the two were doing it on purpose, but they had no evidence.
Liu Aiguo wanted to say something more, but Xiao Zhihua and Yu Qian were both there, so even for the sake of his so-called self-esteem, he couldn't say much. But Xu Hongxing was different.
"My two younger sisters are really something! Even if they're going to sell themselves, they should at least tell the family first! Selling to someone else is fine, but why can't they sell to their own family? It's not like the family isn't going to pay them. How could they sell themselves without even telling the family? Don't they look down on us?"
Liu Jing: "Sister-in-law is right. My younger sister and I acted impulsively this time. But I have a friend who also sells her work. I wonder if sister-in-law would be interested in buying? I can make the connection."
Xu Hongxing: "Yes, yes, that's how it should be. We're all family, so we share the same fate. When something good happens, we should think about our families first. Isn't that patriotic?"
Liu Aiguo nodded in agreement, while his parents were pleased. That's how it should be; they're all family, and family shouldn't hold grudges overnight.
Liu Yun was just watching the show from the sidelines. Liu Jing would never have such good intentions; she would only kick Liu Aiguo and the others when they were down on their luck. How could she possibly help them?
Liu Aidang and Li Hui didn't believe it either. How could someone who was so incompatible before suddenly change their gender? It was impossible even for a fool. Only the eldest son's family was still laughing. They were like people who had been sold out and were still counting the money for the seller. Really, of all people to offend, they had to offend these two. Their husbands were still here! They were really brainless.
Sure enough, Liu Jing continued, "The job is in the office, and the salary and benefits are good, over forty a month! But they're asking for fifteen thousand. I don't know if you can accept that price, sister-in-law."
Xu Hongxing: "What? Fifteen thousand? Why don't you just rob someone?"
Not only Xu Hongxing, but also Liu Aiguo and his parents felt that the price was too high.
Liu Jing: "Where is it too high? My job costs over 3000 a month and I still get 1000! It's only because we're relatives. My younger sister also bought a job for 1200, also because we're relatives. She's a permanent employee in the city, and it's only 1500. How is that too high? You're telling me I have to rob you? You're really ungrateful. They only paid 1500 because of me. Go look elsewhere. If you just say so, people will be fighting over it. If you don't want to pay this amount, just say so. After all, there's a shortage of jobs right now, and there are plenty of people who want them. We sold our jobs and you said you didn't discuss it with us. We found you another job and you complained it was too expensive. You've complained about everything, good and bad. Why are you the only one who matters, while everyone else is ignored?"
Liu Yun and Liu Aiguo thought that this was the correct way to do it; there had just been a slight problem.
Xu Hongxing calmed down as well. "I'm sorry, Jingjing. I was too impulsive just now. You see, I just don't know how to speak properly."
This quiet sound successfully gave Liu Jing, Liu Yun, and Liu Aidang goosebumps.
Xu Hongxing: "As you know, your eldest brother is the only one in our family who supports us. We have many children, and they're all around the time when the kids are practically living off their parents. We really can't afford that much money. Could you and your younger sister lend us some money to buy the job? I'll save it up and pay you back when I get paid. Don't worry, I'll write an IOU and I'll definitely pay you back."
Liu Yun thought to herself that Xu Hongxing's ability to get something for nothing was truly impressive. However, there was one thing she agreed with: having many children. In the novel, the female protagonist, Xu Hongxing, took over the original owner's job, so she had four children—a pair of twins and a pair of fraternal twins. But this time, without a job and staying home to take care of the children every day, she actually had two more pregnancies, making it four pregnancies, eight children in total. Wouldn't that make her the only source of labor? This made Liu Yun and Liu Jing hesitant to bring their children over, as it would be too crowded.
Liu Jing: "Well, brother and sister-in-law, it's not that we don't want to help you, but we're powerless to do so! We're already drowning in debt ourselves!"
Xu Hongxing: "Didn't you just sell your jobs? That was over a thousand yuan, and I heard that your shop is doing very well. How could you possibly be short of money?"
Liu Aiguo: "Second brother, third brother, if you're not willing, just say so. Is it necessary to do this? We're all family. Now that you've achieved success, you don't care about the well-being of your family. You're not even willing to lend a hand. It's not like we're asking you to give us anything; it's a loan. It's not like we're not going to pay you back."
Liu Jing: "The business of that shop is okay, but it's also very expensive! We've poured all our savings into it and borrowed a lot. We originally wanted to come back and get the money, but my mother-in-law said that we have too many children on our side and we can't borrow money. What if the adults are hurt? It's okay, but what about the children? My mother-in-law even took out her savings for her funeral and borrowed a lot more. My younger sister's mother-in-law did the same. I'm a little better off because my mother-in-law only has my husband, Lao Xiao. She can pay it back sooner or later. But my younger sister's husband and his family have four brothers. Even so, the shop hasn't broken even yet. Now we're trying to fill the hole as soon as we make a little money. We still owe the fabric factory five or six thousand."
