"That won't work." Lu Xiaolan strongly objected.
"Xiaochun, even if you ask for a dowry, I won't take it. I'll keep it for you. The Zhao family said they don't want a dowry just to control you. Even if you say you don't want a dowry, the Zhao family will have other reasons."
The reason why the Zhao family opposed it was that Lu Xiaochun had no job.
The Lu sisters knew this, and Xiao Zhao also knew it.
But Xiao Zhao had already tried to persuade his mother, but to no avail. He really had no other choice.
Lu Xiaochun also knew that Xiao Zhao was the best match he could get. She didn't want to go back to the village, and she couldn't find a suitable job for the time being. She had no choice but to accept the Zhao family's conditions.
"Xiaochun, don't be impulsive. Wait a little longer. Your brother-in-law has already gone to inquire about it. You have a cute job now, so there is still time."
"If you agree to the Zhao family's conditions now, you will be criticized for the rest of your life."
Everyone in the Zhao family has a job, except Lu Xiaochun. She has no dowry and no status in the Zhao family. Her future life will definitely be difficult.
Xiao Zhao likes Lu Xiaochun now and treats her well, but what about the future? What if one day Xiao Zhao doesn't like Lu Xiaochun so much anymore, will he still be able to protect her?
Lu Xiaochun knew what Lu Xiaolan said. She had thought about it many times, but it was a fact that she had no job, and it was also a fact that it was difficult to find a job now.
"Xiaochun, if Mengmeng gets into college, should she sell her job?" Lu Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Mengmeng asked you to take her place and study, so she must be confident. If she gets into college, she will definitely go, and then this job will be vacant."
Lu Xiaolan put her hands on Lu Xiaochun's shoulders and said excitedly: "Xiaochun, you have worked for Mengmeng for so long, if she likes you, she will definitely sell it to you when you buy her job."
The more she talked, the more she felt that this possibility was very high: "We don't ask her to sell less money. We will give her the same amount as others. When you have a job, the Zhao family will be eager to marry you."
Lu Xiaochun was stunned. She only wanted to work hard for Qi Mengmeng, but she never thought about what would happen to her job if Qi Mengmeng passed the exam one day.
"Xiaochun, when you go to the Qi family, be sure to ask if we can sell you the job if Qi Mengmeng passes the exam. We will definitely not give you less money."
Lu Xiaolan reminded Lu Xiaochun that there were only more than two months left until the college entrance examination.
Lu Xiaochun also became excited, but soon she bit her lip and said, "Sister, I don't have enough money."
Since they were prepared to tell Qi Mengmeng that they would not give less money, they had to prepare the money in advance.
Qi Mengmeng's job is in logistics. Although she doesn't earn much, it's easy. If it were sold on the market, it would probably fetch around one thousand yuan.
Lu Xiaochun had been working on and off in the city for a year, and he didn't even have a hundred yuan in his hand.
Lu Xiaolan has money, but she can't give it all to Lu Xiaochun. Shu Heping would definitely disagree, but such an opportunity is too rare.
"Go and find out what Qi Mengmeng means first. If Mengmeng is willing to sell her job to you, I'll lend you the money. You can pay it back slowly when you get a job."
Lu Xiaolan still couldn't bear to see her sister disappointed, so she gritted her teeth and said these words.
Lu Xiaochun wanted to say no, but her lips were trembling and she couldn't say it. Finally, she said, "Sister, I'll go ask Sister Mengmeng first. If she is willing to sell her job to me after she gets into college, I'll write you an IOU and pay you back all the money except for food."
"Okay, Mengmeng said that you should go there after she gets off work. You go there early and help take care of the children so that Aunt Qi can have a rest."
Lu Xiaolan wanted Lu Xiaochun to go there early to leave a good impression.
Usually Lu Xiaochun cooks at home. Lu Xiaochun has to tell Shu's mother if he goes out early, but if Lu Xiaochun goes out for important business, Shu's mother should agree.
The two sisters didn't talk for too long. They hurried out after they finished talking. At this time, the Shu family had already started eating, so the two sisters quickly sat down to eat.
After dinner, Lu Xiaolan told Shu's mother that Lu Xiaochun was going out in the afternoon.
When Mother Lu heard that they were going to discuss letting Lu Xiaochun take over, she did not stop them, but she reminded Lu Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, your sister has lived in our house for quite some time."
Although Lu Xiaochun did a lot of work, she was a grown-up girl and it was inconvenient for her to stay at home every day.
Besides, Lu Xiaochun has a rural household registration, and although he was given extra money for food and accommodation, other family members still had objections.
Lu Xiaolan smiled flatteringly at Lu's mother: "Mom, I know, our Shu family is the best. I often tell Xiaochun that only if I marry into the Shu family can she come to the city with me. When Xiaochun goes to work, I will ask her to pay more money."
"You don't have to pay more. We are all relatives. But after she finishes her shift, she will no longer have a job and can't live at home anymore."
Lu Xiaochun was just a little girl, and Shu's mother felt embarrassed to ask for more money.
Lu Xiaolan agreed verbally, but in her heart she was thinking that she must buy Qi Mengmeng's job and then let Xiaochun live in the factory dormitory.
After Lu Xiaochun coaxed Lu Xiaolan's second son to sleep in the afternoon, he said goodbye to Shu's mother and went to Qi Mengmeng's house.
Qi Huilan heard from Qi Mengmeng at noon that Lu Xiaochun would come in the evening, but she didn't expect Lu Xiaochun to come so early.
"Xiaochun, you're here too early. Mengmeng hasn't come back yet."
"I know, Aunt Qi, I don't have much to do at home, so I came to see you early."
Lu Xiaochun stood outside the door, looking a little embarrassed.
"Then come in." Qi Huilan asked Lu Xiaochun to come in and wait for a while.
Lu Xiaochun walked into the house and saw clothes soaking in the basin in the yard. He squatted down and started washing.
"Xiaochun, go sit inside for a while. You don't have to wash these." Qi Huilan quickly stopped him.
She originally wanted to wash the diapers while An An and Kang Kang were asleep, but just as she put the diapers in the basin, Lu Xiaochun came.
"It's okay, Aunt Qi, I'll wash it. I do everything at my sister's house. I also wash my nephew's diapers." Lu Xiaochun's movements were very efficient.
When she was working, she finally felt less awkward.
Qi Huilan didn't feel comfortable letting Lu Xiaochun work alone, so she squatted down and washed with him.
The two of them worked quickly and finished washing all the diapers in ten minutes.
Lu Xiaochun went to do other work, and when the two children woke up, she helped take care of them.
When Qi Mengmeng got home, Qi Huilan had already prepared dinner.
"It's all thanks to Xiaochun, otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish cooking in this time. Mengmeng, Xiaochun, eat first, and we can talk after dinner."
Qi Huilan invited the two to have dinner.
Lu Xiaochun quickly shook his head: "Aunt Qi, I'm not eating here, I just came to listen to Sister Mengmeng talk about this substitute shift."
