Chapter 153 Buying a Job
It's a pity that buying a job, even just a simple temporary job in a textile factory, would cost three or four hundred yuan.
In recent years, every household has been tightening their belts, and any money they have will be secretly used to buy food on the black market.
Food on the black market is now unavailable even with money.
Even if you could buy it, the price would be more than ten or twenty times higher.
Where would I find the spare money to buy a job?
Unless you find someone to pool your money, that's probably not an option, and even then, it's not something you can raise in a short time.
Therefore, if someone is in a hurry to sell their job, the price will definitely be lower.
Qin Yunzhou pondered for a moment before speaking, "Mom, since you're planning to sell your job, why don't I go back and ask my family first? If they want to buy it, we can settle for the market price. What do you think?"
Temporary workers in textile factories basically operate sewing machines in the workshop and make clothes. For most women, this job is not difficult.
It just so happens that the Qin family is having a really tough time. If they could have another person to earn money, things would be a little easier for them in the future.
As for who should get the job, he prefers to give it to his mother, Tian Hua, but he still needs to discuss the specifics with his family when he gets back.
After all, he couldn't possibly give all the money to one person.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sui thought for a moment and understood what Qin Yunzhou meant. However, she did not object. If the Qin family could have another job, their lives would indeed be better in the future.
As for the money for buying the job, she didn't think Qin Yunzhou was the kind of man who would take out a large sum of money without consulting her.
"Mom, if you really intend to sell it, let's go back and discuss it with the family. If they also want to, then we can get the money in the future."
As the saying goes, even close brothers should keep clear accounts.
One is her maternal family, and the other is her husband's family.
We should handle this as it should be to avoid hurting feelings, since buying a job is a considerable expense.
Without much thought, Wang Yinhua immediately nodded, "Okay, it doesn't matter who we sell to, we're still relatives, so it's good to keep the profits within the family."
"Yunzhou, Suisui, when you get back, tell your families about this. If it works out, settle it as soon as possible so I can have peace of mind."
That job was absolutely out of the question for Liu Feng, and it was also out of the question for her eldest son. It would be better to convert it into money and keep it in her own pocket for peace of mind.
Xiaofei is still young, so he doesn't need to think about work for now.
When he grows up, this money can be used for his wedding, to buy him a job, or for our daughter to use immediately if she encounters any difficulties and needs money.
Soon, the group arrived at the gate of Old Mrs. Xu's courtyard.
The person who opened the door this time was Wang Xiuer, who had opened the door for Xu Sui and the others last time.
When Wang Xiuer saw Xu Sui, she was slightly taken aback. Then she saw Wang Yinhua next to Xu Sui. The two looked quite alike and were obviously mother and daughter.
"Cousin, is this your aunt?"
"Auntie, cousin, cousin-in-law, please come in and sit down. Your great-aunt is soaking her feet right now."
She quickly ushered everyone inside.
After entering the house.
The group spotted Old Mrs. Xu soaking her feet in the living room. She was lying leisurely on a soft couch with her eyes closed, covered with a blanket. The blanket was soft and warm, clearly not an ordinary item.
A pair of feet were soaking in a steaming wooden tub filled with various kinds of herbs.
I heard so many footsteps.
The old lady frowned slightly, but still didn't open her eyes, as if she hadn't noticed anyone coming in.
Xu Sui was about to step forward, intending to ease the tension between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before bringing up Jinbao's matter.
At this moment, Wang Yinhua suddenly grabbed her, gently shook her head at her, and then secretly took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the emotions in her heart.
She mustered her courage and walked up to her, calling out softly, "Mom, I brought some pastries to see you."
The pastries were bought from the largest supply and marketing cooperative in the county town.
You need pastry tickets to buy pastries, and these tickets are hard to come by; they're not something you'd normally get.
Fortunately, she had a friend who worked at that supply and marketing cooperative, and that friend had just received the ration coupons. Her salary for this month also came in yesterday.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even have money to buy pastries.
However, Liu Feng stole her bankbook, and when she went to collect her salary, she snatched Liu Feng's salary instead.
She didn't originally intend to be so ruthless, but unfortunately, Liu Feng's actions were too outrageous.
Grandma Xu still didn't open her eyes. She spoke in a cold tone, "Alright, say what you have to say, get to the point."
"Just tell me directly, what brings you here?"
Over the years, although they are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they have basically never visited each other's homes.
Once they arrive, it's almost always because they have something to say.
Wang Yinhua's expression became somewhat unnatural as her mother-in-law immediately saw through her thoughts.
"Mom, then I'll just say it directly."
"Jinbao had an accident and is still lying in a hospital bed in the county hospital, and hasn't woken up yet."
"The doctor suggested we go to the provincial capital, but that's a long way away, and given the child's condition, even if we went there, they might not be able to cure him."
"I've been thinking... thinking about it, Mom's medical skills are so amazing, she cured so many people in the past, so... I wanted to come and ask you for help to take a look at my child."
To be honest, Wang Yinhua was always quite afraid of her mother-in-law. To be precise, it wasn't that she was afraid, but every time she met her mother-in-law, she would unconsciously shrink back and her voice wouldn't be as strong.
The last time I came here was because my daughter got accepted into the grain station, got married, and became pregnant.
She was overjoyed and didn't know who to share this happy news with. For some reason, after so many years, she suddenly ran to her mother-in-law's place.
Finally, he also took a jade bracelet of excellent quality and clarity, as well as two small yellow croakers, back to give to his daughter.
As Wang Yinhua spoke, she quietly went behind the old lady and gave her a shoulder massage.
After a while, I noticed someone massaging my shoulders, and I must say, the technique was quite good.
Grandma Xu opened her eyes and saw that it was Wang Yinhua.
"Your cooking skills are quite good."
It's obvious that they've had formal training.
Wang Yinhua immediately sensed that things were going well from these words. She was very excited and quickly took advantage of the situation, massaging the old lady's shoulders with even more care and effort, her voice soft and gentle.
"Mom, if you like, I'll come over often to give you massages."
She didn't mention treating the child at this moment, but kept trying to make the old lady comfortable so that she wouldn't be disturbed and the treatment would be more effective.
He also gave Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou a wink, signaling them to go back first, as they weren't needed here for the time being.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou: "..."
Wang Yinhua was massaging the old lady while telling her funny stories, trying to get her attention.
The two probably knew in their hearts that the matter was almost settled and they wouldn't need their help anymore.
I'd better not bother you here.
I'm back home.
The entire Qin family was still awake.
So Qin Yunzhou told them about his work.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, that's roughly what happened. What do you think? Should we keep this job?"
