50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 36 Working hard
When Daxiang heard what his brother said, his heart tightened. He wondered if he had offended anyone recently. He thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure it out. Halfway through, he heard his brother say that it was someone in military uniform.

He immediately thought of Sun Zhiwei. His uncle had analyzed that he was most likely from there. Later, Daxiang told his uncle where they went, and his uncle became even more certain.

He hurried back and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a small figure sitting in the middle of the lobby. It was the young boss Sun Zhiwei whom he had been thinking about in his dreams.

When Sun Zhiwei saw Daxiang’s excited expression, he knew that this one was a sure thing.

He asked Daxiang to sit down and then introduced himself: "Right now, I live in the compound with my parents' colleagues. But it's not my own home after all. I'll have to move out eventually."

"I'm still young and not ready to work. I usually need someone to help me with my personal affairs. Daxiang, do you think you can do it?"

"Capable, Daxiang can do anything." My mother had the final word and Daxiang couldn't say anything back.

Sun Zhiwei smiled secretly, knowing that Daxiang was a filial son, so it would be easy to deal with him. As long as he could control Daxiang's mother, Aunt Chen, the loyalty of this hanger-on would be stable.

"Okay, the treatment will remain as before, but you are not allowed to use silver dollars now. I will give you paper money later."

"Also, you can only tell others that my parents' friends are helping me. This isn't a legitimate way to make a living. I'll find you a more leisurely and legitimate job as a legitimate livelihood."

"Really? That's great. Thank you, boss." Although Aunt Chen was excited and agreed to Daxiang's request right away, she had no choice.

This family cannot be without someone to earn money, otherwise the family will just live off the fat of the land. Although it sounds bad to say that someone is a hanger-on, at least the boss is a respectable person, and he can bring a lot of invisible benefits.

Now she heard that she would be working for her boss in secret and would be given another job openly, which really made her overjoyed.

Looking at her eldest son who was still in a daze, she slapped him and said, "You idiot, why don't you thank the boss?"

"Oh, thank you, boss. Mom, please don't hit me, the boss is here." Daxiang wanted to save face, and he wanted to stand up when the boss was around. Aunt Chen also became nervous at this time, afraid that the boss would be unhappy.

Sun Zhiwei saw that this was not acceptable, so he pointed at Chen's mother to intimidate Daxiang.

"Huh? How can you talk to your mother like that? Aunt Chen worked so hard to raise you, so what's wrong with her slapping you?"

"Even if you're in your seventies or eighties, this is still your mother. If she hits you, just take it. If she can't reach you, just squat."

"Auntie, it's good for children to have their own ideas outside. That means they've grown up. But you still have to be the head of the family."

"Daxiang is a good person, but he can be easily misled by bad people out there. You must keep a close eye on him."

"He himself doesn't know who he shouldn't associate with and who he shouldn't associate with. What's the point of hanging out with a bunch of drinking buddies all day?"

Sun Zhiwei's words were full of sincerity, and he almost said directly, "Keep a good control of your son."

Aunt Chen felt the same way after hearing this. She thought that the boss was a good person. It turned out that she had been right all along. She still needed to discipline her son strictly.

With Sun Zhiwei's support, she immediately became angry and looked at Haodaer with a vicious look, as if she really wanted to beat him up again. Daxiang had just been thinking about how to spend the money he had with his boss and how to live a carefree life in the future, but Sun Zhiwei dealt him a heavy blow.

When he looked up again, he saw his mother who had become manic because of the support from her boss. He felt wailing in his heart. Why was life becoming more and more difficult?

Sun Zhiwei then turned to Daxiang and said, "Don't be fooled by those scoundrels who keep telling you they're loyal to you. Over a few drinks, they're ready to say they'd go through fire and water for you."

"But when the critical moment comes, will those people take on your debts or protect you? Impossible. The only person who treats you well without asking for anything in return is your own mother."

"If anything happened to you, your mother would really be willing to sell herself to raise money for you. Do you think that makes sense?"

Daxiang has always been a filial son. Although he is a bit rebellious, he listened to his mother and left those gangs.

Now Sun Zhiwei's words had penetrated into his heart, and he himself felt that his mother was just like that, and his original reluctance had disappeared.

Seeing that the time was right, Sun Zhiwei spoke directly, "You must be filial to me in the future. How about this: from now on, you can spend your salary on yourself, and the share I give you should be given directly to Aunt Chen to support her family, so that you don't make too many bad friends outside."

"Auntie, do you think this arrangement is okay for me?" Sun Zhiwei arranged Daxiang's salary, then turned around and spoke to Auntie Chen with a smile.

"Hey, boss, your arrangement is so good. But isn't it too much to give him the visible salary?" Oh, Aunt Chen is even more cruel than me. She doesn't want to leave anything for her son.

When Daxiang heard that the salary for one of his two jobs had already been arranged, he wanted to resist, but his mother was actually not going to leave him a penny, and he was a little desperate.

Although Sun Zhiwei agreed with Aunt Chen's words in his heart, he still couldn't do it that way, so as not to discourage the kid.

"Auntie, money is a man's courage. If a man has no money in his pocket, he won't speak with courage. It's better to leave some for him. After all, he still has to deal with colleagues."

"Hey, boss, you're right." Daxiang was like a trampoline now, being lifted up and pressed down by Sun Zhiwei and his mother. The final arrangement was so clear that he had no temper at all.

"If you're worried, find Daxiang a capable wife as soon as possible. Then he can take care of her and you won't have to worry about him, right?"

"Yes, it's time to find a wife for Daxiang. I've been looking for one for him these past few days."

Thinking of his wife, Daxiang, who was about to make a final struggle, suddenly lay down.

Forget it, men are the breadwinners and women are the homemakers. Men only need to make money, while women only think about spending money. Thinking of this, he felt comfortable.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Sun Zhiwei took out a large yellow croaker and handed it to Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen's eyes widened when she saw the large yellow croaker. She didn't dare to take it away even though her hands were shaking. She just looked at her eldest son.

Daxiang was also stunned. It's not that he hadn't seen yellow croaker before. He had seen small yellow croaker, but he had never seen a big yellow croaker. However, he knew that it was very valuable and he couldn't even get so much even if he sold it.

Now the boss wants him to work hard for his life. Seeing the look in his mother's eyes, his heart calmed down. Working hard for anyone is not selling your life. As long as the family can live well, I can handle the rest myself.
