Li Chen nodded hurriedly: "Mom, I will definitely agree. Not to mention one condition, I will agree to all three conditions."
Li Xing's eyes dimmed.
Aunt Lu didn't even look at the two of them and said, "Since you said three conditions, then I will put forward three conditions."
Li Chen froze there for a long while before he smiled and said, "Mom, I was just joking."
Aunt Lu: "I'm not kidding."
"The first condition: I give the job to your wife, and you have to hand over your salary for three years. After three years, you have to pay half."
Li Chen smiled happily after hearing this: "No problem, Mom, I'll talk to Xiaoya about this."
"Second condition: I will give the job to your wife, and my family will save money for Xiaoxing. I will not give your wife any more dowry."
Li Chen's smile faded a little, but he still nodded: "Okay."
"The third condition: If the family cannot find a job for Li Xing next year, your wife must give up her job."
Li Chen is in a dilemma. Isn't this tantamount to marriage fraud?
"Mom, you just asked us to pay our salary. If Xiaoya doesn't have a salary, how can we pay?"
Aunt Lu rolled her eyes at Li Chen and said, "If your wife needs to give up her job, I will make up the betrothal gift for her."
It’s just a betrothal gift, definitely not as much as the money to buy a job. Aunt Lu didn’t say this.
Li Chen was a little confused and couldn't hear what was said for a moment. He sat down, ate a few mouthfuls of rice hurriedly, and ran out.
Li Xing waited until Li Chen left before he raised his head and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry so much about me. I will go to the countryside after I graduate next year. You can do your own work and don't have to give it to my sister-in-law."
Several of his classmates' parents retired and handed over their jobs to their children, and they didn't live that well, so Li Xing never agreed with his mother giving up her job.
Aunt Lu picked up a piece of food for Li Xing with chopsticks and said, "It's up to mom and dad to decide on this matter. Eat more. You have to go to school after you finish eating."
It's not that she is willing to give up her job, but that she won't. The eldest brother won't be able to marry a wife and will definitely resent her. From now on, life at home will be even more chaotic.
It would be better to control the eldest couple now and find a way out for Li Xing.
Aunt Lu is already preparing to hand over her job to Qi Mengmeng, and she has also inquired about Qi Mengmeng's situation over the past two days.
Her father and husband are both leaders of the military region, and she also has a job. People like her are not short of money.
If she wasn't pregnant, she might not have to change her job.
Originally, Aunt Lu wanted to hold out for a few more days, but when Gu Guizhi greeted Xiao Zhao today, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
If Qi Mengmeng replaced Xiao Zhao's job, it would not be easy for her to find another person to change jobs.
She planned to go find Qi Mengmeng in the afternoon to settle the matter as soon as possible.
As for Li Chen's opinion, she believed that Li Chen would agree. If he didn't agree, it didn't matter. At most, Aunt Lu would go to the workshop to work for a while.
Li Xing wanted to say more, but Aunt Lu had already finished her meal and put away her bowl. He could only eat the rice in his bowl reluctantly.
Even if he goes to school, no one studies hard and the teachers don't care. If he doesn't go to school, he will be asked to go to the countryside. He really doesn't want to go to school.
Aunt Lu washed all the dishes and saw Li Xing still dawdling.
"Xiaoxing, eat quickly. I have to go to work later."
Li Xing quickly took a few bites of rice and said vaguely, "Mom, go to bed and leave me alone. I'll wash the dishes later."
Aunt Lu was not busy at work, but she was not sleepy. She went back to her room but did not sleep. Instead, she locked the door and took out the money in the house to count it.
Over the years, although two people in the family work, there are three children in the family and elderly people in their hometown, so the expenses are not low. They gave a dowry when their daughter was married off a few years ago, and spent another sum of money to find a job for Li Chen.
I have more than 600 yuan in my hand now, which sounds like a lot, but my two sons are getting married, and if I want to find a job for Li Xing, the money is really not enough.
Aunt Lu asked Qi Mengmeng for an extra 200 yuan, hoping to find another job for Li Xing next year.
But now it seems that Qi Mengmeng is unwilling to pay more, so Aunt Lu can only lower the price.
If Qi Mengmeng and Xiao Zhao change jobs, it’s unknown how long Aunt Lu will have to wait to find someone who is willing to change jobs.
After counting the money twice, Aunt Lu made up her mind. She put all the money away and went out to work.
After Li Xing finished washing the dishes, he only saw Aunt Lu's back.
"Mom, why are you leaving so early today?"
Aunt Lu looked back at him, told him to go to school well, and turned and left.
Li Xing touched his head and went to school obediently.
Aunt Lu went to Qi Mengmeng's workshop in the afternoon and took a look around. She didn't see Qi Mengmeng, but only saw Lu Xiaolan. She quickly waved to Lu Xiaolan.
Lu Xiaolan walked out in surprise: "Aunt Lu, are you looking for me?"
Aunt Lu glanced into the workshop and asked, "Did Qi Mengmeng come to work today?"
Lu Xiaolan guessed Aunt Lu's intention in her heart and said, "I didn't pay attention today. How about I go and show it to Aunt Lu?"
"I have something to ask her. Please go and help her. If she comes, please ask her to come out and tell her that I have something to ask her."
Lu Xiaolan didn't ask what was going on. She just nodded to Aunt Lu and went back to the workshop.
Qi Mengmeng had just sat down on the stool and was about to take a break when Lu Xiaolan came over.
"Sister Mengmeng, someone is looking for you outside."
Qi Mengmeng supported her belly and stood up. Lu Xiaolan quickly lent a hand and whispered in Qi Mengmeng's ear, "It's Aunt Lu."
Qi Mengmeng immediately understood the purpose of Aunt Lu's visit, and she slowly walked out.
Lu Xiaolan helped Qi Mengmeng outside and hurried back to the workshop. If she didn't go back, the team leader would probably come looking for her.
"Aunt Lu, what do you want from me?"
Qi Mengmeng moved her waist slightly, looked at Aunt Lu and asked.
"Didn't you want to switch jobs with me before? Do you still want to change now?"
Aunt Lu stared at Qi Mengmeng closely.
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "It's not enough for me to do it. Aunt Lu also needs to be willing to change."
Aunt Lu looked around and asked, "How much are you willing to exchange?"
Qi Mengmeng put away the smile on her face and looked at her calmly: "I'll give you my job in exchange for an extra hundred dollars."
Aunt Lu frowned. This price was half the amount she was given.
"One hundred is a little too little, please add some more."
Qi Mengmeng supported her waist with her hands and looked at Aunt Lu with a half-smile, "Aunt, I also asked about the price."
She is not a sucker and doesn't want to bleed heavily.
Aunt Lu complained, "You know, I have to give my job to my daughter-in-law. I need money to marry my daughter-in-law. My family is really not easy."
