Chapter 105 is handed over to him.
And since I returned to my hometown.
The meat and fine grains that Qin Yunzhou would occasionally take out, as well as the people he knew, and so on.
This clearly shows that he wasn't truly down on his luck.
Don't forget, this person is a graduate of a military academy, a real college student of this era, and became a political commissar at a young age, a position even higher than that of Gu Shu, the male lead.
Everything he had in the army was earned through his own hard work and experience amidst gunfire.
Even though he lost his family, he still had a lot of connections and relationships. Otherwise, how could he have made such a strong comeback a year after leaving the army?
"I can help you with this, but are you sure you can do it and won't give up halfway through because you're tired?"
Although Qin Yunzhou was surprised by Xu Sui's trust in him, he still had to say some things beforehand.
If that's the case, then there's no need for this.
Xu Sui nodded seriously and raised her hand, "Absolutely not, I promise."
If she wants to do something, she will definitely find a way to make it happen.
She doesn't find working and studying at the same time tiring; on the contrary, she enjoys the process of earning money and improving herself at the same time.
Qin Yunzhou looked at Xu Sui and, seeing that she wasn't just saying it casually, thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll help you solve this."
"If you pass the exam, I will take care of the children's affairs, so you don't need to worry about these things."
"As for work, if you're really tired, you can go home and focus on studying for the exam. I can support you and the child."
Xu Sui knew Qin Yunzhou was reliable, and she immediately cheered, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll pass the exam."
Suddenly, she changed the subject, "By the way, if I go to university, what are your plans for dealing with the children?"
If possible, Xu Sui didn't want her child to be too far away from them after birth. She actually wanted to discuss with her mother-in-law about renting a house near the university with her.
When the time comes, she can visit the two children whenever she has free time, so that she won't miss out on their growth during her four years of university.
However, in that case, there are a few problems that Qin Yunzhou will probably have to solve.
First, the stay would be too long, and the mother-in-law might not be willing. Second, without a household registration, outsiders cannot stay in one place for so long. If they do not have the relevant documents, they will be arrested as vagrants.
A letter of introduction is acceptable, but it has a time limit and cannot be used to stay in another place for an extended period.
Of course, hiring a nanny to take care of the child privately is actually the simplest option.
But there's still a layer between them, and she's busy. If the nanny doesn't take good care of the child, that wouldn't be good.
Qin Yunzhou pondered for a moment, then said, "It's still early. I'll think about this carefully. What you need to do now is prepare well for next year's exam."
Xu Sui didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, then I'll be counting on you."
That's what she said, but she had already planned to build a good relationship with her mother-in-law and find an opportunity to test her attitude.
If that doesn't work, we'll think of other ways.
She still didn't want her child to be too far away from her.
The two talked for quite a while inside the house.
In the living room outside.
Hao Lihong and her daughter were still there; Old Lady Qin and Tian Hua were still there.
We've been talking about finding a partner for Du Mei for ages, but we still haven't found a solution.
Hao Lihong's mouth was dry from talking, but Old Lady Qin still didn't give a definite answer.
Tianhua, who was standing to the side, wanted to help her sister-in-law, but the problem was that she didn't like to go out and didn't know many people, so she wouldn't introduce anyone to a potential partner.
If the old lady can't handle this, she certainly can't either; getting Du Mei to move in is even more impossible.
The land at home is so small, and the monthly food supply is so limited, how can we possibly let another person live in our house?
Hao Lihong took out her handkerchief again to wipe away her tears. "Mother, am I still your biological daughter? In all these years, I've only asked you for two things."
"I know that you married into the Qin family and will be living with your elder brother and sister-in-law. You don't have your own house, and you have to consider the whole family. You can't take care of me."
"But I'm still your biological son, right? Back then, you helped your older brother get a job, but you didn't help us. How come now, when we ask you to help find a marriage for Xiaomei, you're so heartless as to not care?"
She just didn't understand.
How could a mother be so heartless, caring only for her stepson and not her own daughter?
She admitted that she favored her son more than her daughter, but she couldn't bring herself to ignore her daughter.
"Sister-in-law, you're here too. Tell me honestly, has Mother always favored you two and neglected her own daughter?"
Tianhua was stunned and awkwardly avoided looking at him.
When she first married into the family, her family was always worried that her mother-in-law would be a stepmother and that they would have a bad relationship, with her mother-in-law favoring her own daughter who stayed in the countryside.
But the situation is exactly the opposite.
The mother-in-law treated the couple fairly well.
Her husband's job was arranged by her mother-in-law, and her eldest son's job was also borrowed from her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law doesn't like to interfere in other people's affairs.
Therefore, she had almost never experienced what it felt like to be tormented by her mother-in-law, as those people described it.
On the contrary, Hao Lihong, her own daughter, was rarely cared for by her mother-in-law.
Old Mrs. Qin was so annoyed that she waved her hand and said, "Alright, I'll help. I'll ask around for you, okay?"
"But let me be frank, this is harder than waiting for the heavens. Even if we find someone willing to marry Xiaomei, their conditions might not be good. They're likely to be widowed men with children, or poor and incompetent men."
"Marrying into those families isn't necessarily better than marrying into the countryside. Think it through carefully, or you'll end up crying to me when you actually marry into the city."
Old Mrs. Qin was extremely disappointed in her daughter, crying all day long, wondering who she took after.
"Also, Lihong, don't say that I, as your mother, haven't cared about you. Back then, I picked out a city boyfriend for you and told you to break up with that guy from the countryside. What did you say then? Now, all of this is your own choice. No one forced you, so don't blame me for favoring your older brother."
"To be honest, when I get old, can you two take care of me and look after me? No, right? So I can't count on you. I can only count on your older brother and sister-in-law."
"If I'm not good to them, if I don't think about them, do you think I'd think about you two as a couple?"
She's old, but not stupid.
Given her son-in-law's hopeless nature, even if she got him a job, people would probably complain about him later, saying he's no good at this or that, and why she didn't get him an office job.
Hao Lihong stopped crying. She bit her lip and couldn't help but feel regretful.
Yes, she originally had the opportunity to marry into the city, but at that time, she didn't know why she was so blinded by love. She only had eyes for that man and only wanted to live with him.
At this time.
Someone knocked on the door and came in. It was Wang Yinhua, carrying a cloth bag.
Inside was a stew of soybeans and pig's trotters that she had specially bought from a state-run restaurant to comfort her daughter.
Wang Yinhua had just returned from get off work and was unaware that Xu Sui had passed the exam for the grain station.
All she knew was that Xu Sui hadn't passed the textile factory exam, and fearing she would be sad, she specially took out the food coupons and money she had saved for a long time, bought meat dishes, and brought them to see her daughter.
"Mother-in-law, where is Sui Sui? I've come to see her."
