"Stop arguing, stop arguing...it's making my head hurt! I'm just asking how much money our family has. Wouldn't it cost money to get Dad a job? You don't think I can find Dad a formal job just by talking, do you?"
Seeing his family looking at him as if it was a matter of course, Ye Zhiqiu was a little overwhelmed!
What's going on? Do you think you're that arrogant? You know, my job is paid for by six rabbits a month, which takes a whole year!
Do you really think Chen Yimin runs a charity? I've only paid eight months' worth of contributions now. Next month, when I start working, I have to pay another four months' worth, a total of twenty-four rabbits, to pay off the cost of my work!
Wang Xiaolan grumbled, "My dear son, you're going to be a city dweller now, looking down on your rural mother! Your job doesn't require any pay, so why does your father have to ask for money when it's his turn?"
Ye Zhiqiu was choked. He thought about what he had said. How could he let his family think that working for free was not necessary?
My mind flashed back to two months ago, when Li Guangcai reported me. I had found an excuse to bring the rabbits back home to raise, in case Chen Yimin's men came to take them away. I was worried that they would come too suddenly and I wouldn't be able to get them out in time, so I made all the necessary preparations.
What did you say?
Oh, I remember now!
I said at the time that my job depended entirely on helping to purchase rabbits, and that I would take care of them myself, and when I turned 18, I would start working and apply for household registration...
"I'll teach you to be mean and talk nonsense..."
Ye Zhiqiu slapped himself twice, which made his family think he was having a seizure. They quickly held him back to prevent him from slapping himself a third time.
He said helplessly, "Okay, I won't beat myself up! As for the money, just pretend I didn't ask. A job in the city would cost about three or four hundred yuan. I was thinking of asking my family to contribute a little bit, and then I'll find a way to arrange a job for Dad as soon as possible, and then I'll bring you to the city."
Buying a job does cost money, and Ye Zhiqiu is also confident that after entering the city, he can convert the things in the space into enough money to buy a job for Ye Tianya.
The key is that the job was bought, and this matter cannot be concealed. I am afraid that I will buy them a job within two months of arriving in the city, so that they can avoid the hard days of drinking porridge every day after the autumn harvest.
When they ask me why I have so much money after only working for a month or two, it will be difficult for me to explain.
Wang Xiaolan counted her money on her fingers. Ye Tianya also coaxed her and said, "Wife, in the past, we had to pay tribute to the boss to get a job if we did odd jobs!
My son said he paid for a job, and there's nothing wrong with that! He got his own job, and that's his ability, but no matter how capable he is, he can't get another job without spending money!
Wang Xiaolan said aggrievedly, "But you're such a loser! All the money in our family is only 423.83 yuan! That's including the 1.2 cents you hid in the bottom of your shoe, and the 10 cents our son gave us. After working so hard for over a decade, this is all we have left. How can we buy you a job?"
Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Tianya looked at each other. He was speechless. After all, his one dime could not escape Wang Xiaolan's attention!
Ye Tianya was a little desperate. It turned out that Wang Xiaolan had always known about his last private money!
But the family was so poor that Ye Zhiqiu felt something was wrong. He quickly asked, "Mom, you've been married for almost twenty years, and you've only saved a little over four hundred yuan?"
Finally, they turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu and said in unison: "It's all because of you!"
Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded. He pointed at himself and said, "Because of me? Why are you dragging me into this?"
Wang Xiaolan looked at Ye Zhiqiu and asked, "Do you still remember why you lost your memory?"
Of course Ye Zhiqiu knew, because he had traveled through time and happened to have a wound on his head, so he pretended to have lost his memory. But his family never told him why he was injured.
Ye Tianya said with a look of heartache: "When you went to play in the river and were swimming, a dead tree on the shore fell down and smashed your head. When we rescued you, you were already dead!
A passing Taoist priest rescued you and after you regained your vitality, you remained unconscious. The Taoist priest said you had lost your soul and could perform a ritual to bring it back, but he needed 800 yuan from your family to compensate him for the cost of the ritual.
Your mother didn't even blink at the time. She took out the money and knelt down to beg the Taoist priest to summon your soul. Otherwise, our family wouldn't be so poor."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment when he heard what Ye Tianya said.
So that's how it is! Is the original body completely dead? And does the Taoist priest know that the soul he summoned is not from this world?
For a moment, Ye Zhiqiu's mind was full of random thoughts. This information was really too shocking.
Wang Xiaolan thought Ye Zhiqiu felt guilty for spending so much of the family's money, so she advised him, "Son, don't think too much. As long as you grow up safely, the money will be spent. Let your father continue to earn it!"
Ye Zhiqiu scratched his head. It seemed that his money-loving mother didn’t really value money too much. At least children were more important than money.
No? Could it be that because of that time, when her wallet was bleeding so much, she became so obsessed with money?
If that's the case, then the original owner's sin is enormous! Just because he was swimming, his whole family went crazy.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and quickly consoled her, "So that's how it is. Mom, don't worry about that money! Just think about it. You'll be earning 195 yuan a year soon. Doesn't that make you feel better?"
You know what, Wang Xiaolan really nodded happily and became very happy.
Ye Zhiqiu began to understand a little. He had never told him about this before because he was worried that he would overthink it.
Ye Bailu said at this time: "Brother, I want to eat meat..."
This sentence made the whole family laugh. This guy was thinking about eating meat all day long, but who can eat meat every day these days?
Ye Wubing curled his lips and said, "Every time there is meat at home, you eat the most, little sister. Now you want to eat meat all day long. Who dares to eat like this?"
Ye Bailu snorted unhappily at Ye Wubing, then took Ye Zhiqiu's hand and said, "Hmph, my eldest brother has meat for me to eat, but you, second brother, only have bones and bugs. Go out and play now. The meat that my eldest brother makes tonight, yours will be mine..."
Ye Wubing was sullen and couldn't refute it. Although the words were infuriating, they were the truth. He could only use his slingshot to shoot sparrows, catch grasshoppers, and small fish and shrimp.
The snake we grilled last time was too skinny because there wasn't much meat. My younger sister thought she'd eaten the meat and given her bones. So she keeps saying she's just bones, even when she hears snake, she just says bones...
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Okay, then let's fry half a piece of bacon tonight!"
