“Where is the hardship? Compared to those cannibalistic families, it’s so much better!”
Hearing Yunxi say this, Wu Xiangxiang couldn’t help but sigh, “I really can’t understand how your father’s brain works. How can he dote on someone else’s child so much?”
But they treat their own daughter like this? Are women really that good? More important than their daughters?
Wu Xiangxiang felt a surge of anger whenever she mentioned Yunxi’s father and her wicked stepmother.
They finished their meal and agreed on a meeting place for the next day.
Yunxi had just returned home and sat down on the hard bed.
Liu Jiaojiao came over and said, “My dear sister, where have you been? You didn’t even come back for lunch.”
My mom was worried you’d go hungry! She even left some rice for you in the pot. Oh, and by the way, why don’t you transfer your job information to me?
Yunxi looked at Liu Jiaojiao, who was grinning broadly as she approached her, and said, “You ate poop, so don’t come near me and stink.”
Liu Jiaojiao’s face was gloomy as Yun Xi dragged her out of the room.
He closed the door and yelled at Liu Jiaojiao outside, “Don’t bother me this afternoon, or you’ll see how I beat you this morning. I don’t know if your skinny arms and legs can withstand two blows from me.”
Without waiting for Liu Jiaojiao’s reply, he locked the door and fell asleep on the bed.
He didn’t wake up until it was almost dark, thinking that he would sell his job the next day, but before selling the job, he had to swindle Liu Wei out of a lot of money.
Liu Wei worked in the factory for those years, so he must have had money in his savings account.
Besides the gold and silver jewelry left by his grandfather, Liu Wei has earned quite a bit over the years. His monthly salary is thirty-six yuan.
Prices were relatively cheap these days, and Zhao Mei was exceptionally frugal.
Although there were three children in the family, the original owner of this body ate only coarse food and never spent any money. The clothes were all hand-me-downs from Liu Jiaojiao.
When Liu Wei returned in the evening, he saw Liu Jiaojiao crying and clutching his sleeve.
“Dad~ Waaaaah, my sister bullied me and even tried to hit me, waaaaah!”
Liu Jiaojiao started to act cute and affectionate towards Liu Wei. When Liu Wei first brought the mother and daughter back, he didn’t particularly like Liu Jiaojiao.
However, Liu Jiaojiao was sweet-talking and loved to act cute. After a while, she lost patience with Yunxi, who couldn’t say a word for a long time.
He gave all his fatherly love to Liu Jiaojiao, and Liu Wei would think of Yun tide as a son-in-law whenever he saw her.
To outsiders, Liu Wei’s ability to live in such a nice house was all thanks to the Yun family.
I used to say he was useless, not a real man! He always had to rely on women.
Yunxue finally died, but as long as Yunxi is alive, she will remind him of the fact that he is a live-in son-in-law.
Before Yunxi even left the house, the group sat down together to discuss something.
Zhao Mei sighed, “Now that Jiaojiao is old, she doesn’t study and doesn’t have a job, she can’t buy it even if we pay for it.”
“The time to go to the countryside is fast approaching. If Yunxi isn’t willing to transfer her work to Jiaojiao, the spot will go to Jiaojiao! Are you really willing to let that happen?”
After Zhao Mei finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Jiaojiao.
Liu Jiaojiao understood immediately and then started to whine to Liu Wei, “Dad, are you really willing to let me go to such a hard place?”
I’ve heard that many people who went there never came back, and some even lost their lives in the countryside.
Dad, you love me so much, I’ve never suffered like that before!
“Dad, please, please think of something.”
Liu Wei watched as his eldest daughter acted coquettishly, especially after what Jiao Jiao said.
Once you go to the countryside, you might never come back, and you might even lose your life there.
If Yunxi is gone, who will remember the family’s assets after a while?
“She wasn’t on my side and ruined my good plans. The deputy factory director even called me into his office and gave me a good scolding.”
“Life at the factory is definitely not going to be easy from now on. I’ll sign Yunxi up for the rural assignment and have her transfer her job to Jiaojiao!”
Zhao Mei sighed repeatedly, “You’ve seen that child. Now that he’s found a stable job, he doesn’t even respect you anymore, let alone us.”
“You went out to work, you had no idea that the child at home gave us, mother and son, a severe beating.”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Yunxi’s voice suddenly rang out, “Oh~ really? I don’t remember beating you two up.”
Yun tide stepped forward and kicked Zhao Mei hard in the lower back. “Since you say you beat up you and your daughter, I have to make it a fact, right?”
As he was about to attack Zhao Mei again, Liu Wei suddenly roared.
“Stop! You rebellious daughter, where did you learn such a thuggish attitude?”
Zhao Mei clutched her waist, feeling as if it were about to break.
Liu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and looked at Yun tide. “You said today that you were willing to sell your job to me, right? Name your price.”
Hearing what Liu Jiaojiao said, Yunxi sat down opposite Liu Wei and picked up a steamed bun to eat.
“If you talk to me calmly, I’m not such an unreasonable and domineering person.”
Jobs are hard to find these days, let alone buy them.
I won’t charge you much, just 1500! If you’re willing to work, you can transfer to Liu Jiaojiao; if not, I’ll sell you to someone else.
Liu Wei gritted his teeth in anger, “No money!”
Zhao Mei whispered in Liu Wei’s ear, “If you buy hers, at worst we can give her the money and then figure out a way to get it back. Let her transfer the job to Jiao Jiao first.”
“If we really sell the job to someone else, we won’t be able to buy it back even for 2,000 yuan, let alone 1,500.”
Zhao Mei just wanted to get the work done by Jiao Jiao first, and then ask for the money later.
Liu Wei thought for a moment, went back to his room and took out his savings book. He saw that there was only two thousand yuan in it, which was all his savings.
If I give her 1,500 right away, she’ll only have 500 left in her savings account.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that the house was full of treasures left by the old folks, so I straightened my back.
“Okay, I’ll go get the money for you in a bit.”
Yunxi was surprised that Liu Wei agreed so quickly.
Even without hearing clearly what Zhao Mei said while leaning over Liu Wei, it was obvious that she was planning to get the job first and then get the 1,500 yuan back later.
Once the money is in her hands, how could she possibly give it back?
After finishing her meal and returning to her room, Yunxi locked the door from the inside.
After Liu Jiaojiao finished eating and washing up, she wanted to go back to her room but couldn’t get the door opened no matter how hard she knocked.
“Yunxi, don’t be so domineering! Do you want to take over two rooms by yourself? Open the door for me right now.”
Yunxi opened the door and looked at Liu Jiaojiao, “I’ve opened the door, do you dare to come in?”
“If you’re not afraid, close your eyes and I’ll strangle you.”
Liu Jiaojiao shuddered and took a step back.
She was already convinced that Yunxi was possessed by the old ghost from the mass grave, so she didn’t dare to provoke Yunxi anymore and ran to Zhao Mei’s room.
“Mom, Yunxi won’t let me into the room, can I sleep with you instead?”
Zhao Mei looked at her daughter with heartache and said, “Okay, I’m sorry to trouble you for the next two days. Don’t worry, she’ll be going to the countryside soon.”
Liu Jiaojiao looked up at Zhao Mei and asked, “Mom, didn’t you say Yunxi was going to marry the deputy factory director’s mentally challenged son? Why is she suddenly going to the countryside?”
