Chapter 154 To Whom
These words excited the entire Qin family, especially Xiao Fen, who was unemployed.
It's so hard to find a job.
It doesn't matter if you're incompetent; you might never have a job in your life.
If she has a job, she can stand tall in this family even without children, and speak with more confidence.
Before I could even speak to her, Old Mrs. Qin had already rushed to finalize the job offer.
"Yes, we definitely need this. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; we'll miss it if we don't take it now."
"Sui Sui, Yun Zhou, you two should tell your in-laws tomorrow that we've finalized the job offer. As for the pay, whatever it is, that's what we'll pay."
Regardless of who gets the job, it's ultimately for this family, and their lives will be better from now on.
Qin Youtian, the pillar of the family, took a puff of his pipe, glanced at his wife, and felt a little tempted.
They've been married for decades.
He could certainly tell that his wife also wanted to have a job and earn money with her own hands.
Thinking of this, Qin Youtian silently calculated the money that he and his wife had saved over the years and sighed inwardly.
It only costs a little over ten yuan in total.
Five of them were from when I helped my daughter-in-law get that abandoned bicycle last time, and she gave them to him.
This amount of money is far from enough compared to the cost of buying a job.
Qin Youtian didn't expect the old lady to give him any money.
After all, the money to buy the eldest son a job was borrowed from the old lady, and the eldest son has been working for so long, but he still hasn't paid it back.
Over the years, the old lady has been more than kind to this family.
A person must know how to be content and grateful to be a true human being.
Qin Yunzhou's gaze swept over everyone present. Among these people, the only one who could actually afford this amount of money was Old Madam Qin. Without her, even if the entire Qin family's savings were emptied, they still wouldn't be able to raise the money.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, there's only one job, but there's more than one person in the family who wants it."
"Let's select the right person first. Once we've decided on the person, we can discuss how to pay for the job."
These words were spoken.
The whole room fell silent.
Everyone in the room subconsciously looked at Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui, the couple. Everyone knew that they had gotten this job because of someone else's connections.
Otherwise, even if you have money, you won't be able to find someone willing to sell their job.
Old Mrs. Qin subconsciously pulled Du Mei, who was sitting next to her, but her hand quickly froze, and she hesitated to say what she was going to say.
She could manage to get the lion's share of the money for the job by gritting her teeth.
After all these years, she has gotten old and should have been retired long ago. She lives and eats in this house and is supported by Qin Youtian and his wife.
She's been sweeping the streets for many years.
Don't underestimate the small amount of 13.5 yuan per month. She basically has no expenses and doesn't have to give money to anyone. Over the years, she has saved quite a bit.
Although I spent almost half of the money last year to buy a job for my eldest grandson, I've almost gotten that money back, and even paid back a portion of it.
After all, he wasn't her own grandson, and she wasn't lending him out for nothing.
Money is a person's confidence; with money, everything is easier.
That's why she holds onto her money so tightly.
Now, she can afford to pay for the job, but who should get the job?
Grandma Qin was somewhat conflicted.
She had two people in mind.
Daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
After hesitating for a moment, Old Mrs. Qin finally let go of Du Mei's hand and didn't look at her.
"Yunzhou, give this job to your mom. She's meticulous and conscientious. I'll pay two hundred for the job."
She took out two hundred yuan, which was a large portion of the wages for a temporary worker.
These words were spoken.
Xiao Fen panicked and quickly grabbed Tian Hua's arm, saying to the old lady, "Grandma, why don't you give me the job? Mom is getting old, how can we let her work so hard? I'm young, I can do it and I'm not afraid of being tired."
"Consider the two hundred yuan I gave you as a loan. I will pay back a portion of it every month when I receive my salary. I will not only pay it back, I will pay back more."
"Grandma lent me two hundred, I'll pay back three hundred. I'll pay back whatever my family lends me. I'll also pay back a portion of what they lend me. I've also saved some money, which I can contribute as well."
"From now on, Qinmin and I will contribute ten yuan a month to the family for food expenses. Grandma, Dad, Mom, what do you think?"
Without even thinking, Grandma Qin quickly waved her hand, "No, consider this job a gift I bought for your mother."
"You can have it if you want it, but if you can contribute the lion's share, the job is yours. If you can't, then there's nothing more to say."
She would hesitate if the job were offered to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
One of these two men can support her in her old age; the other is related to her by blood.
But what if it were the daughter-in-law and Xiao Fen instead?
There's no need to even think about it; my daughter-in-law, Tian Hua, is much more reliable.
Back then, when she was choosing a wife for her stepson, she valued Tian Hua because she was a filial and kind person.
A person like that, when she gets old, she won't be too bad to him.
As for Xiao Fen, there's no need to even think about it.
What if she gets divorced someday and isn't a member of the Qin family anymore? Wouldn't that job be a complete waste?
Hearing her mother-in-law's decisive words, Tianhua felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't help but be moved. "Mom..."
Back then, her mother-in-law also helped her husband get a job.
I never expected that my mother-in-law would want to get her a job, and that it would cost so much money.
Xiao Fen panicked completely, grabbed Tian Hua's hand and called out, "Mom, Mom, you're getting old, working in the workshop is so tiring, why don't you talk to Grandma and ask her to let me have the job?"
"I promise, I promise I will not divorce Qin Min, and I will absolutely not give my job to outsiders."
She's not stupid.
Although Qin Min is infertile, she's not disabled in that area. Last night, when that person came back, she tried it out, and it worked quite well.
He's not a great person, but he's decent-looking and has a job that pays well.
The Qin family had a good atmosphere; apart from being a bit poor, everything else was fine.
If she really gets divorced, she can't go back to her parents' home. If she remarries, she'll most likely become a stepmother or a maid. It's better to just live like this for the rest of her life.
Marriage is never perfect; sometimes it's better to be a little oblivious.
Tianhua hesitated, before she could even speak.
Grandma Qin pulled her directly to her side, glared at Xiao Fen, and said, "Alright, figure out your own job."
"Like I said, unless you can afford to pay the lion's share, this job can only go to your mother-in-law."
After saying that, she glared at Tianhua as well, "You too, the money you spent on buying a job, you'll have to pay it back when you start working. When I get old, I'll be counting on you two to take care of me."
"Remember, save money, work hard, and don't give your job to just anyone."
