Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband

"Exactly, Second Aunt is right. There’s a lot of street food vendors outside our school and a bookstore opened nearby last month, much cheaper than Xinhua Bookstore. They’re all individually owned." Hu Dong said with a frown, holding his bowl.

"Alright, let’s hurry up and eat." Shen Qing picked some food for Hu Dong, signaling him to stop talking, then turned to Zhang Huilan and said, "If Big Sister-in-law dislikes doing business, then she’ll just keep crying to Mom about having no money in the future."

"Fine, fine, I was just joking with Xiao Wan. Third Sister is just being protective." Zhang Huilan was furious inside. What she said was true—it was just showing off how everyone is stronger than her family. Normally, they don’t care much about her son, but now she’s defending the newlywed daughter-in-law.

Shen Haitao, aware of his wife’s sharp tongue, pretended not to see the bickering among the women and focused on serving food to his mother.

Meanwhile, Shen Rong subtly tugged at Zhang Huilan’s sleeve under the table to remind her.

Only then did Zhang Huilan remember her daughter’s situation, suppressing her anger, she forced a smile and said, "Third Sister-in-law, I was just being chatty today. I’ve been worried about Rongrong lately. Xiao Wan has her own restaurant, Xiao Jie works at the newspaper, but my Rongrong still hasn’t settled down. The position in the factory is tight and hard to get, and without qualifications, it’s impossible. We’ve tried many connections both at our factory and Bo Xu’s factory, packaged many gifts, but still couldn’t get her in after half a year. I heard the Women’s Federation needs people, could Third Sister look into it and see if Rongrong could be placed there? She’s a grown-up now, staying at home is not a solution, anything would do, at least she can make some money for the family."

Shen Haitao is quite influential in the factory; getting his girl in would be easy. Even if not at his own factory, they have so many connections, getting her into another factory would be easy too. How could it be that after half a year, they can’t find a job for her?

It’s just vanity, their family and Third Sister’s family are both in government jobs, and she’s envious, desperately wanting her child to be in a government position.

Back when Shen Boxu was looking for a job, Big Sister-in-law begged her mother-in-law to ask Xinghe to get him a government job.
