He Shuyue has been feeling very frustrated these past few days. Her son and husband both have complaints about her. When she finally gets to go to work, the people in the office look at her with knowing smiles.
Regardless of her expression, those people still crowded around and asked her if the Bai family had actually sent the money.
She was a thousand times, ten thousand times unwilling to let the Bai family send the money over. What did this mean? It meant they were buying out her mother-daughter relationship with Rong Jun.
But everyone else in the family was determined, especially her son. If it were only Lu Weiguo, she wouldn't be afraid; at worst, the couple would argue for a few days.
Lu Ronghui's daughter is really something. Her brother has already paved the way for her future, yet he still has his eye on Rongjun's job.
What's wrong with giving this job to Rong Jun? No one in the Bai family would care about her.
What should we do next? There's no one available to do the work.
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. These past few days, no matter how angry and furious she was at home, no one paid any attention to her. It was as frustrating as punching cotton.
Is there still a place for her in this family?
He Shuyue felt that she was usually not very thoughtful, but she had given birth to a daughter who was very thoughtful from a young age. Her son couldn't understand her and even favored his younger sister.
Rong Jun was simple-minded and extremely dependent on her at home, so He Shuyue treated this daughter even better.
That's just how people are; the more effort you put into someone, the more you care about and love them.
I wonder how Rong Jun is doing these days. I haven't seen her for several days.
He Shuyue rode her bicycle home with a sigh. She ran into Bai Rongjun, whom she hadn't seen for several days, at the flower bed downstairs. Bai Rongjun looked dazed and had dark circles under her eyes, clearly heartbroken.
As soon as Bai Rongjun saw He Shuyue, tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Why are you standing here?" He Shuyue felt a pang of sympathy when she heard her call out in such a wronged voice.
"Why aren't you going home? Your brother Lu Yang was just angry for a moment, you can't take what he said seriously."
Bai Rongjun shook her head. "Aunt He, my dad said you don't want me anymore and forbid me from going back to the Lu family."
He Shuyue held Bai Rongjun in her arms and comforted her for a while before Bai Rongjun gradually stopped crying.
"Aunt He, I miss you so much. I don't want to stay at the Bai family's house anymore. I want to go back."
Bai Xiangdong spent a lot of money at home, treating her with disrespect and rudeness, and she didn't even dare to speak at the dinner table.
The soundproofing in their room was very poor, and Bai Xiangdong and his son would sometimes disturb her when they came back from their night shifts.
Chen Hongxia told her to wait a little longer, that she would find a way in a few days, but she didn't want to wait any longer.
"I know, just bear with it for a few more days. I've already had someone inquire about work."
He Shuyue felt her heart was bleeding. She saw how much the child depended on her, but she couldn't help her.
“No, it’s hard to find a job. Can I take over your job?” Chen Hongxia told her yesterday that the educated youth office had a new notice that this year’s batch of people going to the countryside might be sent earlier.
How could she possibly find a job in such a short time? Is she really going to go to the countryside?
Bai Rongjun shook her head. She didn't want to. She couldn't bear the hardship of farm work or the rural environment, so she took on Aunt He's current job.
With a job readily available, why waste time looking for others?
“If I take over your job, I won’t have to go to the countryside anymore. After Ronghui leaves, I will stay in Xin’an to take care of you, Aunt He. I have always regarded you as my own mother.”
You treat me like your own daughter, and since Ronghui can't stay in the city right now, let me stay with you!
Rong Hui is not filial at all. I will definitely do better than her. Bai Rongjun thought that she was obedient enough and Aunt He had always liked her.
"No, I've already agreed not to give you this job, otherwise your Uncle Lu and Brother Lu Yang will be very angry. Let's think of another way."
He Shuyue felt that no one in the family listened to her now, and she couldn't afford to provoke them at this time.
She didn't want her son to really drift apart from her.
“It’s alright, Aunt He. You can go and plead with Brother Lu Yang for me, or we can secretly get the job done first. Brother Lu Yang won’t know about it while he’s in the army.”
Bai Rongjun gripped He Shuyue's hand tightly, and the more she heard He Shuyue's explanation, the more sense it made. Lu Yang would probably be returning to his post in a few days.
She'll apologize to Lu Ronghui then, and if she can improve her relationship with her, Lu Ronghui will agree.
"No, your brother Lu Yang is very angry right now, and I've already promised him."
"Aunt He, do you want me to go to the countryside? You are Lu Yang's mother, he will definitely agree to what you say in the end."
Bai Rongjun was completely panicked. She really didn't want to go to the countryside, so she could only hold on to Aunt He's current job.
He Shuyue felt uneasy. When she said she would leave the work to Bai Rongjun, she always made excuses because she was afraid that the other members of the Lu family would be angry with her if they found out.
She was quite relieved at the time that Rong Jun cared about her and was afraid that she would be blamed by the Lu family because of this.
Even though she already knew that the rest of the Lu family was strongly opposed, she still asked He Shuyue to plead for her and even wanted to secretly get the job done.
It took Bai Rongjun a while to realize that He Shuyue's expression was a little off. She immediately broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't let Aunt He dislike her at this moment.
"No, no, no, what I mean is that Brother Lu Yang will listen to you."
Lu Ronghui was leading An'an back from the supply and marketing cooperative. The two of them stood not far away, holding salted jujubes and watching this scene.
He Shuyue's face immediately fell when she saw the two people, and Bai Rongjun called out Rong Hui hesitantly.
"Bai Rongjun, your father said himself that no one from the Bai family will ever set foot in our house again. What are you doing?"
Bai Rongjun left feeling extremely wronged, while He Shuyue angrily went upstairs.
After returning home, Lu Ronghui ignored her and went straight into her room. An'an later ran out of her aunt's room and saw He Shuyue sitting on the sofa with a tense face.
"Grandma, have a date."
An An took out a few salted dates from her pocket and handed them to her. He Shuyue originally wanted to keep a straight face, but when she saw that Song Qing and the others were not there, she relaxed her expression.
"I'm not eating. You're the only one in this family who cares whether I eat or not."
He Shuyue's words were laced with sarcasm, but An'an couldn't tell and just smiled as she snuggled into her arms.
"Grandma, I want to eat sugar cake."
"Hmph, so that's why you cared about me. Turns out you just wanted something to eat. What, doesn't your mother care about you?"
He Shuyue didn't like Song Qing, but An'an was her son's biological child, so she was still willing to give him a friendly look.
"Look at your clothes, they're too short, and your mom won't even offer to make you a new one."
As An An got closer, He Shuyue immediately found many more faults.
The child's clothes are too short, and the hair tie is the same one we bought last year; we haven't replaced it in so long.
She said this daughter-in-law is no good, she can't take good care of the child, and An'an is already over three years old and she still hasn't given her a grandson.
"Alright, you wait here, I'll make you a few."
