Chapter 89: Chapter 89

"Mom and Dad, I went to the old lady’s house today. Guess what?" Bai Ruxue said while eating with a cheerful smile on her face.

"What happened?" Wang Cuihua asked, looking at her daughter’s radiant face and suddenly feeling in a good mood.

"The old lady left me three job openings at the milk powder factory!" Bai Ruxue said.

"What? Job openings?" Bai Daliang immediately raised his head, and suddenly the dishes Wang Cuihua had prepared seemed less appealing.

"Yes! I asked the old lady before about the requirements for joining the milk powder factory in Pingyang Town. She knows the factory director, and they are recruiting workers in the spring. She directly got me three spots!" Bai Ruxue said, half truthfully.

"Then... what are the requirements to join the factory? Just having the job openings isn’t enough, right?" Bai Daliang asked again with some concern.

"There’s no other requirement, just need to be strong!" Bai Ruxue said with a smile.

At this, Bai Daliang was relieved, "That’s great!"

"Big sister, we have three job openings, just enough for me, Dad, and Brother to go!" Bai Ruchuan said cheerfully.

"Out of the question! The factory doesn’t hire child laborers!" Bai Ruxue tapped her brother on the head and said with amusement, "You all need to study hard! There will be greater prospects than working in a factory!"

"But big sister, I want to earn money to support the family..." Bai Ruchuan, still rubbing where his sister had tapped him, said softly.

"Have you forgotten what I told you? Study hard, and in the future, your big sister will rely on you. For now, it’s not your turn to support the family!" Bai Ruxue solemnly lectured her younger siblings and then turned to Bai Daliang, "Dad, one job opening is for you. Mom can’t work since she has two kids to take care of, so one is for Uncle! The remaining one, I want to give to Second Uncle. What do you think, is that okay?"

"Xiao Xue, Mom..." Wang Cuihua wanted to say she could also work, but seeing the two kids on the kang, she immediately stopped.

"Mom, just take care of the kids at home, nothing else to think about!" Bai Ruxue said, "As for Second Uncle, he’s helped us a lot, and he’s not a bad person, so I’m willing to give him the job opening!"

"Alright, Xiao Xue, since you got it, you can give it to whoever you want, Dad has no objections!" Bai Daliang nodded, feeling very pleased.

He couldn’t believe he was about to start working in the city; it was something he never dared to dream of.

"Okay, I’ll go to Second Uncle’s house with the job opening after dinner. We need to fill it out quickly and have the team leader sign it. The factory is short-staffed, so I should go as soon as possible."

"Big sister, you’ve been working all day. Let me go get Second Uncle! You don’t need to run back and forth!" Bai Rushan sensibly said.

"Yes, let your Second Uncle come!" Bai Daliang also agreed.

"Alright then, I’ll teach you both how to fill out the forms!" Bai Ruxue agreed and continued eating.

Wang Cuihua started working nine days after giving birth, and she cooked today’s delicious meal.

After dinner, Bai Rushan went to call Bai Dajiang over.

"Xiao Xue, Xiao Shan mentioned something about job openings. I didn’t quite get it, what does that mean?" Bai Dajiang hurriedly asked Bai Ruxue as soon as he entered the house.

"Second Uncle, please sit down and let’s talk!" Bai Ruxue smiled and took out two job openings.

"Dajiang! Soon we’ll both be employees at Pingyang Town’s milk powder factory!" Bai Daliang couldn’t hold back and said happily.

"What? Employees? What’s going on?" Bai Dajiang was even more puzzled.

"Second Uncle, I got three job openings at the milk powder factory today. Don’t ask me how I got them. One is for you, but the factory needs people urgently, so if you’re going, you have to prepare quickly and report in a couple of days!" Bai Ruxue explained to him clearly.

"I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll get ready right away!" Bai Dajiang understood and couldn’t have been more delighted, quickly agreeing. Read complete version only at novel[f]ire.net

"Alright, now I’ll teach you how to fill out the forms, and tomorrow you can take them to the team leader to sign!" Bai Ruxue got a pen to help Bai Daliang and Bai Dajiang fill out the forms.

"Our Xiao Xue is truly capable!" When Bai Dajiang said this, he thought the form was something Zhang Yuan got for her. After all, Zhang Yuan was so capable, buying a watch, a sewing machine, a bicycle, and even using a jeep. Getting a few job openings should be easy, right?

If Bai Ruxue knew what Second Uncle was thinking, she might have directly said yes, using Zhang Yuan as an excuse was very handy.

The two brothers finished filling out the forms, and Bai Dajiang thanked Bai Ruxue profusely before taking the forms home.

After getting home, Wu Zhaodi was even more excited when she heard.

"Zhaodi, Xiao Xue said not to let Mom know about this yet. Xiao Xue got three job openings and gave one to me, one to Big Brother, and one to her uncle! So keep your mouth shut!" Bai Dajiang reminded his wife.

"I know! If Mom knew, she’d surely make a fuss, and your spot would most likely be taken. I’m not dumb. Besides, Xiao Xue giving us a job opening is a huge favor; how could we repay kindness with ingratitude and give her trouble?" Wu Zhaodi said.

"Yes! Sigh... Third Brother has been spoiled by Mom, never treating Big Brother and the kids well, and Mom is biased, always scowling at the kids. Otherwise, we three brothers having the job openings would be great!" Bai Dajiang complained.

"Dajiang, don’t be foolish. Just because Third Brother hit Big Brother once with a stick, the job opening couldn’t possibly go to him! It’s understandable that Xiao Xue gave it to her uncle. In the early years, if it weren’t for Big Sister-in-law’s family helping, Big Brother’s family might not have made it!" Wu Zhaodi warned her husband, "If you dare speak out of turn in front of Xiao Xue, watch out, you might lose your job opening too!"

Wu Zhaodi was sensible, even though she was usually soft and often bullied by her mother-in-law, she understood everything, remembered who treated her well and who didn’t.

Back when they divided the family, the grain they were given was clearly more than Big Brother’s family, and they would sometimes send coarse grains to help, but they never did that for Big Brother’s family, harshly leaving them to fend for themselves.

Later, when they had good things, the mother-in-law would go to Big Brother’s house to ask for them more than she’d come to their place.

She couldn’t stand it and secretly gave the kids some food, never letting her mother-in-law know, or it would be snatched away.

She couldn’t understand how the mother-in-law could be so biased, as if only Third Brother was her biological child and the others were picked up, making Big Brother’s part even that of an enemy’s son.

"I’m not dumb! Don’t worry, I won’t say anything, and the uncle, Yongsheng, at 22 years old, hasn’t married yet. If he can work at the milk powder factory, there will be more opportunities." Bai Dajiang replied after being warned by his wife.

"Yes! Big Sister-in-law’s parents are old, and Yongsheng hasn’t settled down, which is hard. My aunt from Third Team told me that Yongsheng is great at work, but life at home is tough with his two difficult sisters-in-law!" Wu Zhaodi sighed.

The couple’s conversation drifted from the joy of the job openings to concerns about Xiao Xue’s uncle, Yongsheng.
