Zhao Guihua, who was so arrogant, never thought this day would come. Haha, she still had some sense to come and apologize! If she hadn't been busy with important things, why would she have stayed to watch the show? What a pity.
When Jiang He and his daughter arrived at Jiang Mingwen's house, Jiang Mingwen was the only one at home. After asking, they found out that his uncle Jiang Shan had gone for a walk, his cousin Jinhua had gone to chat with old sisters, and Jiang Xiaoan was still in the city and had not returned.
"Mingwen, Fifth Uncle would like to trouble you with something." Jiang He said with a smile.
Jiang Mingwen's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Shushu. Could it be that his cousin had gotten into trouble again? Otherwise, his fifth uncle would not have come to him so easily.
Jiang Shushu rolled his eyes inwardly. Damn it, am I really that unreliable? Haven't I been trying to clean up my act lately? I work so hard, how come you don't even trust me? I haven't even finished my words, and you're acting like I'm in trouble again? What do you mean?
"What's the matter?" If this cousin did something unreliable, Uncle Wu would not help her even if he told her to do so.
"Haha, good news, your sister found a job? She works as a waitress in the east of National Hotel..." Then Jiang He briefly told the story of Jiang Shushu saving He Fangfang and He Fangfang selling the job to her.
Jiang Mingwen's mouth dropped open. Wow, Shushu was incredibly lucky! This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had actually landed her, even allowing her to pay for her job in installments. Luck, indeed, was a form of strength. Unlike that brat, Xiaoan, who had been in the city for over ten days, only returning home once, and still hadn't found a job, Shushu could go in the morning, come back in the afternoon, and already have a job. That speed was unmatched.
"Haha, congratulations, Shushu. This is such great news! I'll go write a certificate right away to make sure Shushu has everything going smoothly tomorrow and has his household registration and food transferred to the state-owned restaurant. Shushu, work hard when you get to work."
"Thank you, Brother Mingwen. I will."
"Mingwen, can we keep the news about Shushu's job secret? After all, He Fangfang's mother-in-law is still in the city. If it gets out that I haven't paid her enough, I'm afraid she'll cause trouble for Shushu."
"Okay, no problem."
Jiang Shushu put away all the certificates and said, "Thank you, Brother Mingwen. I will treat you to meat when I get my salary."
"Really? Haha, then I'm in for a treat. I'll be waiting."
When Jiang He and his daughter returned home, they saw Xu Hehua staring intently at the gold bars and bicycle tickets on the table.
Xu Hehua turned around when she heard the noise and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the father and daughter: "You're finally back. I was so scared just now."
"Mom, what are you doing? You didn't even hear us come back."
"I've never seen such a large gold bar in my life. With none of you home, I'm so nervous! I'm afraid if I'm not careful, the gold bar will just grow legs and run away." I just weighed it in my hand. It must weigh two taels, which, converted into RMB, would be over 700 yuan! I've never seen so much money in my life.
Jiang He: "Gold bars can grow legs and run away? Why are you so nervous?"
Jiang Shushu didn't say anything, because she understood this feeling. When she first took out a few thousand yuan, it was a huge sum of money for her. She put it in her pocket and had to touch it every time she walked for a while, for fear that it would be lost.
"Dad, Mom, I have something to discuss with you. The state-owned restaurant doesn't have any dormitories because they have so few people. Their working hours are 8:30 in the morning and they don't close until 7:00 in the evening. It's not so bad in the summer, but in the winter, it's dark. I want to buy or rent a house in town. What do you think?"
Jiang He and his wife looked at each other with reluctance in their eyes. They both didn't want Jiang Shushu to live in the city. If Jiang Shushu went to live in the city, then they would be the only ones left at home.
Jiang He was silent for a while before he said: "Okay, I'll listen to you. If we have a house, we can exchange this gold bar for money to buy a house." No matter how reluctant they were, as parents, they could not selfishly stop their children's development path.
Jiang Shushu saw the couple's reluctance to leave. He knew he would have to support them in their old age, so they would have to interact with each other. Maintaining a good relationship was essential. Jiang Shushu quickly said, "Okay, I'll look for a two-bedroom apartment in the next few days. I want to buy one and leave it for my parents. You can come visit me whenever you're free, and we'll have a place to stay. I'll save some money and buy a bicycle. Then, our family of three can live in the village if we want, or in the city if we want." How can you reassure your parents? Incorporating your parents into your future plans will naturally reassure them.
One day, Jiang He and his wife were so happy when Jiang Shushu said he would reserve a room for them in the city that all their reluctance disappeared.
Xu Hehua happily stuffed the gold bars and bicycle tickets back to Jiang Shushu: "Shushu, keep these for yourself. You'll need them tomorrow. Do you want your dad to accompany you tomorrow?"
"No need. I have to go out to work. I can definitely handle this little thing."
On the other hand, the news that He Fangfang was going to commit suicide had spread in the city. Everyone in He Fangfang's area knew about it, and He Fangfang was embarrassed to go out, because as soon as she went out, she would be stared at by the neighbors.
That evening, Zhou Hui, who had been out playing, rushed home and said, "Mom, something terrible has happened! He Fangfang committed suicide. People are saying you were trying to kill her."
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was so frightened that she smashed the ceramic cup in her hand. "What did you say? He Fangfang committed suicide? Tell me quickly, is she dead or alive?"
"He was rescued."
"It's good that she's not dead." If He Fangfang died like this, then he would never get any benefit from Zhou Yi in the future. Only when He Fangfang was alive would the secret have meaning, and he could continue to get benefits from her.
"Mom, what about my job? He Fangfang won't refuse to give it to me, right?"
"Wait a minute. I have leverage over He Fangfang. She'll agree sooner or later. We must have pushed her too hard these past few days, causing her to think she'd die. We can't provoke her now. If she does die, Zhou Yi will come back and come after us. Let's wait a few days. Once He Fangfang calms down, we can talk to her about the job."
The next morning, Jiang Shushu secretly ran to the kitchen, poured a full cup of boiling water into the tonic that Xu Hehua was cooking, stirred it with chopsticks, and then poured out another full cup of tonic. After pouring, Jiang Shushu immediately put the tonic into the small space.
After finishing his breakfast, Jiang Shushu set out for the city with his backpack. When Jiang Shushu arrived in the city, it was still early and the State-owned Restaurant East was not open.
