Liu Fang's husband said anxiously, "Wife, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Seeing how flustered he was, Liu Fang quickly grabbed him and whispered a few words in his ear.
That night, news spread from Liu Fang's family that she was seriously ill, and they sent a telegram asking her daughter to come back to see her mother.
In fact, the couple was in the room, turning on the flashlight to collect money.
Gu Chun guessed that six hundred yuan was their family's entire savings, but that was actually not accurate.
Their family doesn’t even have 600 yuan in savings!
Over the years, with the household expenses, sending some things to their daughter every month, and the medicine for their mother-in-law's illness, all the money they have now is just over 300 yuan.
Although Gu Chun said that she could pay it back in installments, Liu Fang didn't want her to suffer any loss.
The child has already helped her a lot, so why does she still owe him money?
Just when the two were at a loss, Liu Fang's mother-in-law called out from inside the house and asked the couple to come in.
The old lady, with trembling hands, asked her daughter-in-law to open her cabinet and take out a jewelry box.
Liu Fang opened the jewelry box and found a jade bracelet inside. In the past, this thing would have been very valuable.
But in this day and age, it is worse than scrap metal. After all, it is not a good thing if this thing is exposed to others.
Liu Fang guessed what the old lady was going to do and said hurriedly, "Mom, this is the only jewelry you have left. Let's keep it. We can figure out the money later."
The old lady shook her head. "I won't live much longer. I originally wanted to leave this thing for our daughter as a dowry, but now I want to find her a job, so you can use it. Please be considerate of me, an old woman. I love my granddaughter too."
The old lady felt sad when she thought about her granddaughter's condition when she came back.
If it weren't for her illness, the family wouldn't be in this situation.
Her son and daughter-in-law are both filial, and she cannot fall behind. There is not much use in keeping this bracelet, so it is better to use it to buy a job for her granddaughter and let her go home.
Having said that, Liu Fang and his wife had no choice but to accept the bracelet because of the old lady's love for her granddaughter.
The next day, Liu Fang found Gu Chun and gave her more than 300 yuan and a bracelet.
Gu Chun looked at the bracelet and blinked. Was she seeing things?
This green color, this quality, even if she doesn't know anything about jewelry, she can tell that this thing is worth a lot of money.
Aunt Liu Fang explained, "I don't know the value of this thing, but it's a token of her grandmother's love. She wants to use this bracelet to help her granddaughter find a job. Do you think it's okay?"
That’s great! Gu Chun was very happy. Although this thing doesn’t look worth much now, it won’t be easily available in the future.
She felt a little guilty about accepting this expensive item. "Auntie, this thing may be very valuable in the future. You can keep it. There's no need to rush to return the money to me."
Liu Fang stuffed the things and money into her hands and said, "I don't care how much it will be worth in the future. Her grandmother insisted on giving you this bracelet. Just consider it as a token of her appreciation for the old lady's kindness. Now that I can help her find a new job, the old lady will be happy."
After hearing this, Gu Chun was deeply moved by the old lady's love for her granddaughter, so he had no choice but to accept the bracelet.
"In that case, I'll take the bracelet, and you can take the money back. In my opinion, this bracelet is worth more than six hundred yuan."
She insisted on not taking the money, so Liu Fang had no choice but to take the money back.
Gu Chun had a valuable bracelet in her bag, and she quickly took it home and hid it after work.
Soon, Aunt Liu Fang's daughter returned to North City.
After worrying all the way, she only realized when she got home that her mother was not really sick.
She was so moved that she cried when she saw Liu Fang pretending to be sick and cursing her, and her grandmother taking out her treasured bracelet just to buy her a job.
The next day I went to the factory to take an exam with the factory director.
She went to the countryside after finishing junior high school. She has read books frequently over the years, but she is not young anymore and does not have the energy to prepare for the college entrance examination. However, she has no problem doing an exam paper.
She answered those questions well, and Director Liu was satisfied.
Gu Chun promised to hand over the work to her and help her familiarize herself with the work of the Propaganda Department, so they quickly completed the entry procedures.
She also returned to the city smoothly and no longer had to go to the countryside to do farm work.
The house was filled with laughter every day, and even Aunt Liu Fang's mother-in-law was so happy that her illness got much better.
After taking care of Aunt Liu Fang's daughter for a week, Gu Chun successfully resigned.
Huang Xiuxiu also sold her job to a relative, and her mother gave her the money from the sale of the job as living expenses for her future college education.

The children went to see the new courtyard house and were very satisfied with it.
Especially Xiao Zhuzi, he really likes that his new home has a small pond like Jiang Zhiyun's home, and he wants to raise fish in it.
Professor Song volunteered to help them find someone to renovate the new house.
There wasn't much damage to the house to begin with, so in the end I only spent a few dozen dollars on renovations.
The rest remains the same, Gu Chun wants to keep it as it is, with its antique charm.
Gu Chun started preparing to move, but first she had to deal with the two old houses.
These two houses in the courtyard were the staff housing assigned to her father when he worked in the textile factory.
Although a sum of money was spent to buy it, the right of use and residence is not clear enough.
Gu Chun has already resigned from the textile factory, and none of his family members are factory employees.
The ownership of this house may still be a matter of debate in the future.
So she planned to sell the house to at least get back the money her parents spent on buying the house.
Since it was staff housing, her best option was to sell it to the employees of the textile factory.
