Chapter 158: Give the Job to Me
Wu Xianglan watched the gleam in her younger sisters’ eyes and felt a sudden increase in her sense of crisis. Zhou Jiaojiao mentioned the job of her elder sister-in-law but said nothing about her own textile factory job. She had to shut up immediately and act as if she knew nothing, otherwise, if they got their eyes on Zhou Jiaojiao’s opportunity, how could there be any chance left for herself?
"Mom, my life in the county is truly hard. My husband’s legs aren’t well, the whole family is crammed into one small yard, and my in-laws are difficult to get along with. Every day I’m at home, cowering, often beaten and scolded. I really see no way out, mom."
Lu Lanhua, watching her sister say this, quickly wiped the corner of her eyes and also started sobbing.
"Mom, dad, my man is just a temp worker. We have two kids at home and his monthly salary is only 19.7 yuan. It’s truly difficult to feed the family. My in-laws are biased, only caring about their youngest son and daughter, completely disregarding our wellbeing. Life... sob, sob, is just unbearable~ sob, sob, sob...."
Liu Sanjin paused in wiping her tears; what kind of talk was this? If life at home was unbearable, how could they still bring her so many things every time they visited, and her calling her daughters-in-law over today was to help herself and her hubby convince their eldest son’s family to be filial, incidentally restoring the amount of money given by Bai Shuyu from Shangjing to its original sum, not to hear their complaints of poverty.
Lu Changzhu had already seen through her daughters’ tricks. Although they used to bring things over, every time it was taking money or tickets from home. The grandsons and granddaughters were all fed fat, how could it be that they couldn’t make ends meet? Their long absence this time was nothing but fear of their eldest brother settling accounts after the autumn, wasn’t it?
Now, hearing that the eldest daughter-in-law got a job, they were crying poor again; he didn’t need to guess to know what kind of crap they were pulling.
"Stop howling. I was hoping I could count on you, but to my surprise, you’ve come to add chaos instead. Speak to your elder brother if you can, and if you can’t, then never mind. At the critical moment, you’re truly useless."
