"Fortunately, she passed it on to my eldest brother, otherwise even if she had passed it on to me, I wouldn't be as outstanding as him."

"Having him as my older brother is the proudest thing in my life. My older brother is having his wedding banquet on June 617th. Do you want to see what he looks like in person?"

Upon hearing him say that, everyone raised their hands.

"I want to go."

"I want to go too."

"We'll come to your house to help out then."

Sha Zhu took out candy and shared it with everyone.

"Then it's settled. You all have to go and help out."

"Absolutely no problem, we've even eaten the candy, we'll definitely go."

Most of these people were from the cafeteria.

Although Yi Zhonghai had already spoken to them and asked them to go and help the Jia family.

But they only greeted me; they didn't even give me a piece of candy.

Sha Zhu was sharing both cigarettes and candy.

Moreover, I heard that he was able to get a job at the steel rolling mill because his older brother contacted Director Li.

Of course they had to curry favor with him.

Although Yi Zhonghai was a senior worker in the factory, in the end, he was just a laborer, how could he compare to others?

Wang Liying here has been riding a bicycle ever since she found a job.

They were as happy as birds in the sky.

I get up before dawn every day to cook millet porridge, boil eggs, and stir-fry vegetables.

He Hongyang wanted the millet porridge.

He said this is good for the stomach, and it must be freshly brewed.

So Wang Liying makes him drink hot millet porridge every morning.

I'll cook him a side dish too.

I just got off work at noon and immediately rode my bike back.

He Hongyang said that lunch should be a good meal, so his family has at least four dishes every day, and they also make sure to have a good mix of meat and vegetables.

While he was eating, I folded the blankets and tidied up the house.

I'll go back to 8939 tonight.

Immediately make bread dumplings.

He Hongyang's favorite food is dumplings with three kinds of seafood filling.

Moreover, he drinks two ounces of liquor every night.

Dumplings and wine, the more you drink, the better!

After finishing all that, she washed and massaged He Hongyang's feet.

While he was reading, I washed all the day's clothes.

In her eyes, none of these things count as living.

She is full of enthusiasm every day and never feels tired!

If you go to the grocery store, you'll be a full-time employee and earn 20.5 yuan.

Wang Liying never imagined she could earn so much money; it was all thanks to He Hongyang.

This is how she usually serves him at home.

Now that he has a job, he should work even harder to repay him for finding him this job.

The thought that He Hongyang himself was unemployed was unbearable.

I couldn't help but feel guilty.

They wish they could work 24/7 without rest, keeping themselves constantly on the go.

[Wang Liying is grateful to the host, and her luck score increases by 300!]

But the other people in the courtyard couldn't stand it.

She flew between the grocery store and the courtyard house every day.

Every day I either go to work, cook, or do laundry.

There's not a single free moment.

He didn't even have time to gossip with her.

He Hongyang, on the other hand, never got up before noon, never went into the small kitchen, and never even folded his quilt.

His daily work seems to consist of drinking tea, sunbathing, reading newspapers, and listening to the radio.

Madam Jia Zhang simply couldn't stand it anymore.

Wang Liying is so capable!

Then look at your daughter-in-law.

Since marrying into the family, she has used her injuries as an excuse to avoid doing any work during the day.

Even when it comes to meals, she wishes Jia Dongxu would bring them to her bed.

Every evening, she would dress up in her finest clothes and go to the He family's house.

They said they were going to see a doctor, but who knows what they were actually doing there!

Jia Zhangshi wanted to go and see several times, but Jia Dongxu stopped her each time.

"Why would you go with them? You're not sick."

"This silly child, a man and a woman alone together, and it's late at night, what if something happens?"

“He Hongyang is kind enough to treat our family’s illness. If he hears this, and then refuses to treat Huai Ru, she will definitely make a scene with me again.”

"Let her make a scene, are you afraid of her?"

"Mom, if you keep saying that, Huai Ru and I will stop talking to you from now on."

Knowing she couldn't argue with her son, Jia Zhangshi saw Wang Liying washing another basin of clothes outside.

He walked up to her in a few steps.

“Hongyang’s wife, what time is it? Why are you still washing clothes here?”

The two women, an older woman and an older woman, had finished their meal and were bored with nowhere to go.

Seeing them talking, he quickly joined them.

"Hey, shouldn't we be chatting after dinner? Why are you doing laundry?"

“Hongyang’s wife has a job. She goes to work during the day, so naturally she has to leave the housework to be done at night.”

“She goes to work, but He Hongyang in their family doesn’t work, so why can’t she do it?”

"I think he's the kind of person who wouldn't even pick up a fallen oil bottle, so how could he help with laundry? I heard he's too lazy to even fold the blankets."

The more they talked, the more anxious they became.

It makes it seem like it's not Wang Liying who's living with He Hongyang, but them!

Seeing Wang Liying working without saying a word, Jia Zhangshi continued.

"Men are spoiled. As a woman, you can't spoil your man too much. If things continue like this, you'll have to do all the housework in the future."

Wang Liying nodded.

“It was originally my job to do it. Besides, these are all housework, which should be done by women.”

The three women shook their heads.

"Don't forget you still have a job. Do you think you can manage the household on your own from now on? You have to work and do housework. Can you handle it all by yourself?"

“I’ve noticed that He Hongyang hasn’t been going out to see patients these past two days. It must be because you’ve started working and he wants to hand over the burden of the family to you, so he’s become increasingly lazy and doesn’t even want to leave the house.”

“You have to push a man to do things. Look at my husband, Yan. Even when he’s working, he goes fishing and gardening after get off work. Fishing can improve our lives, and gardening can make money. I just need to stay home and take care of the kids.”

Based on the conditions of the three aunts' family.

She still has the nerve to show off like this!

Yan Bugui could go for days without catching a single fish. Even if he caught a fish the size of his palm, because there were too many people in his family, they never dared to braise the fish. Instead, they would make a big pot of soup.

That's not eating fish, it's just drinking clear soup.

And those flowers he grows—nowadays, everyone's main task is to eat their fill; who has the leisure to grow flowers?

Besides, it's cold now, and his family is reluctant to light the stove, so the flowers have long been frozen and droopy, and nobody wants them.

Wang Liying understood this perfectly well.

(aeec) With her meager salary, it's simply not enough for her family to live such a good life.

If she were to rely on her salary, she probably wouldn't be able to afford her bicycle for ages.

It's all because He Hongyang is capable!

The people at the grocery store were all asking where she bought her bicycle.

Upon hearing that it was a gift from their own husbands, they were all so envious their eyes practically sparkled with envy!

But this is her family's day, there's no need for her to show off to these people.

[Wang Liying protects the host, Luck Value +200!]

What Jia Zhangshi really wanted to know was how much money she earned in a month.

"How much do you earn a month working at a grocery store?"

"He's about the same as your Jia Dongxu, isn't he?"

Madam Jia was so surprised she was almost speechless.

Her son took over his father's business and also became Yi Zhonghai's apprentice.

It takes three years of apprenticeship to earn a little over 20 yuan.

Unexpectedly, Wang Liying earned so much right after starting work.

She was incredibly envious. 7

If Qin Huairu from their family could also find a job and earn this much, wouldn't their family's life be incredibly comfortable?

"Do you still need female workers? Could you recommend my Huai Ru for a job? We all live in the same courtyard, so it'll be convenient for her to commute to get off work."

An older woman and two older women also joined in.

With that much money to be made, who would want to stay home?

"How about older folks? We can work as temporary workers, helping out in the warehouse, taking inventory, anything will do."

Wang Liying shook her head. 1

"I've only been there a few days, so I'm not too sure. If they're hiring, they'll post a notice outside. If you're looking for work, you can ask at the grocery store."

If they could find it themselves, why would they ask her?

Jia Zhangshi continued.

"Since you earn so much in a month, wouldn't you be able to save up a lot in a year?"

“I give my salary to Brother Hongyang for safekeeping. He gives me five yuan a month for pocket money, and I don’t ask about the rest.”

what?

When she was unemployed, He Hongyang would give her five yuan a month for pocket money.

Now that she has a job, she actually hands over all her salary to him for safekeeping, and he also gives her five yuan a month for pocket money.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"I'm indignant," said Jia Zhangshi.
