Super Soldier in the City

"Yifei, this thing..." Fourth Aunt suddenly started to falter.

Li Yifei hurriedly said, "Fourth Aunt, just speak your mind. What’s our relationship? Do we really need to beat around the bush?"

Looking somewhat embarrassed, Fourth Aunt said, "Well, it’s the off-season for farming now, and Little Lei from your second aunt’s family and our Little Tao are idle, with nothing much to do. Your second aunt and I were discussing, to see if you could help them find a job. Usually, they just do odd jobs, earning little, not to mention there’s no future in that. Seeing how successful you’ve become, we thought maybe you could take them under your wing. I know this might put you in a difficult position, but please try. Whether it works out or not, your second aunt and I won’t take it to heart."

Li Yifei smiled and replied, "Fourth Aunt, I thought it was something serious. The matter is not that hard to handle. The company I’m with now really needs staff. Little Lei, I think, is quite straightforward, and he might not be suitable for other jobs, but he can work as a security guard at our company. Although it’s not a high-flyer job, our company’s benefits and compensation are quite good. Earning over three thousand a month is no problem."

Fourth Aunt was overjoyed and said, "Over three thousand is quite a bit already. That boy Little Lei has nothing but a strong back. If he could earn over three thousand a month, your second aunt would be over the moon. And in a few years, he could even consider getting married."

"As for Little Tao, he’s quite the smooth talker. After he gets married and comes back from his honeymoon, I’ll let him try his hand in sales and procurement at my company. If he does well there, he could earn more than a security guard."

Fourth Aunt immediately became anxious and said, "Honeymoon? We have no money for them to go on a trip like that. Just getting them married is going to wipe out your Fourth Uncle’s and my savings. If they don’t work, what are they going to spend? I’ll just have Little Lei go with him."

Ning Xin’er saw Li Yifei and Fourth Aunt chatting so happily that her nerves started to settle a bit. She turned her body, faced Fourth Aunt, and said, "Fourth Aunt, it’s great that your own son is settled, but hurrying like this can easily upset your daughter-in-law. You’ve just gotten the bride, and now you’re sending her away—won’t the bride be lonely?"

Fourth Aunt nodded repeatedly and said, "You’re right. Our daughter-in-law is quite a force to be reckoned with. If it’s like this, they might end up arguing."

Ning Xin’er then said, "I think it’s better this way—let them rent a place in the city together. That way, the young couple can be together. By the way, Yifei, if you could also arrange for Little Tao’s wife to work at the company, wouldn’t that be even better for them both?"
