Chapter 579 Love Can Make People More Ambitious
"Xiaohu, you're almost thirty, it's time to work hard and earn money to get married! Duoduo has arranged such a good job for you, don't just work it for a few days and then quit!"
Chen Shufang sat on the side and gave her son Chen Xiaohu another few instructions.
Her good-for-nothing son has changed jobs countless times since graduating from high school, but he hasn't stayed in any of them for long.
They complain that this job is too tiring, or that the boss and colleagues at that job are difficult to get along with.
This job pays too little, that job is too difficult to do, and there's even a job where the person complains that the factory food is too bad.
In short, all these years, he still hasn't found a suitable and satisfactory job.
Chen Shufang remembered that Chen Xiaohu's longest job was as a salesman in a toy factory. He worked there for about two months before quitting because he thought the factory was too busy and the pay was too low.
The shortest stint was only an hour, while the longest was for those who would only go for a day or two and then quit. In short, they had a whole host of reasons for quitting, and they all came up with very plausible explanations.
Chen Shufang had spoken and scolded him, but her son still did whatever he wanted.
In the last few days, I don't know why she changed her mind. She actually said that she went out to do part-time work, and she did it for several days.
Although Chen Shufang now knows that her son has been working part-time at Xinxin Orchard these past few days, she is still worried that he might only be enthusiastic for a short time.
If he doesn't cherish such a good job, Chen Shufang feels she would be furious to death.
"Okay, Mom. I said I'd do my best, and I definitely will! Don't worry!"
Chen Xiaohu, unlike his usual carefree self, earnestly promised Chen Shufang that he would definitely work hard in the orchard.
"Okay, Mom will trust you one more time! Go eat!"
After hearing the answer she wanted from her son, Chen Shufang was in a great mood. She urged Chen Xiaohu to eat quickly, then carried a chair back to have tea and chat with Chen Shuyue.
While eating fast food, Chen Xiaohu took out his phone to send a WeChat message to his girlfriend Yao Ling, telling her that he had a new job.
Working as the deputy director of Xinxin Orchard means a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, an annual bonus of 10,000 yuan, and holiday benefits comparable to a secure job.
Yao Ling: Really? My dad just made that request of yours a few days ago and you've already done half of it? I feel like this is a bit unbelievable.
Chen Xiaohu, you can fool my dad about this, but you can't fool me too. How could someone as carefree as you suddenly find such a stable and well-paying job?
Yao Ling is a native of Biwan Village. She met Chen Xiaohu at the beginning of the year when they were working at a toy factory in the town.
Yao Ling assembles toys in the workshop, while Chen Xiaohu works as a salesman.
Because of Yao Ling's presence, Chen Xiaohu, the salesman, managed to work for two months before resigning because he felt he was doing too much work for too low a wage.
After resigning, he leisurely looked for a job at home. When he couldn't find a suitable one, he continued to drift along. When he ran out of money, he would ask his mother, Chen Shufang, for help. Who knew that he would drift along until almost the New Year.
It wasn't until Yao Ling's father learned that his daughter was dating Chen Xiaohu that he asked Yao Ling to invite Chen Xiaohu to his house for a meal.
Before going, Chen Xiaohu thought that his father-in-law inviting him to dinner meant he approved of him! After the meal, he could go home and tell his mother that he had a girlfriend.
Chen Shufang kept mentioning how so-and-so's son, whose child was the same age as hers, was already old enough to run errands, and how so-and-so's son had already had his second child this year...
Chen Xiaohu had high hopes, but when he arrived at Yao Ling's house, he realized that Yao Ling's father had invited him over for a meal to make a request of her.
First, he must have a proper and stable job that earns him more than five thousand a month.
Secondly, the bride price for marrying Yao Ling was 88,000 yuan.
If Chen Xiaohu can do these two things immediately, he can come to their house to propose marriage at the end of the year. If he can't, she should give up on marrying Yao Ling as soon as possible, and the two of them should break up sooner rather than later.
Chen Xiaohu readily agreed in order to marry Yao Ling.
Only after agreeing did he realize that these two requests were extremely difficult to fulfill for both him and his family.
Finding a stable job with a salary of over 5,000 yuan is like a dream for Chen Xiaohu. If good jobs were so easy to find, would he still be unemployed?
There's also the dowry of 88,000 yuan. Logically speaking, it's not unreasonable for the father-in-law to ask for so much. In these villages, families with good financial means can generally give 80,000 yuan as a dowry when getting married.
But their family was poor! His mother was the sole breadwinner, and it was a miracle if she could feed and clothe the whole family. How could they possibly save any money?
Chen Shufang definitely can't afford the dowry of 88,000 yuan!
However, Chen Xiaohu wasn't in a hurry about the bride price. He felt that his family didn't have money, but his second aunt's family did!
If he were to actually get married, his second aunt would definitely be willing to lend the money to their family.
So all Chen Xiaohu needs now is a decent job.
Therefore, Chen Xiaohu has been very active in looking for work these days, and he is willing to do any job, even temporary ones, if there are no permanent positions.
Who knew that my luck would suddenly explode, and I could run into my rich cousin's orchard while doing temporary work.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Duoduo secured a job for him, Chen Xiaohu immediately shared the good news with his girlfriend.
To everyone's surprise, Yao Ling didn't believe there was such a good thing.
Chen Xiaohu: Of course it's true! Lingling, when have I ever lied to you?
Xinxin Orchard is owned by my cousin, who's from my second aunt's family. My job here is practically guaranteed! You know my cousin, Jiang Duoduo, right? I remember mentioning her to you; she owns several hotels and is probably making a lot of money. Now I'm working for her, so don't you think my good days are just around the corner?
Chen Xiaohu ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then picked up his phone and started typing away.
"Brother, who are you chatting with? You're not even in a hurry to eat!"
Xu Susu suddenly walked up behind Chen Xiaohu, and when she looked down, she saw a very pretty girl's profile picture.
"Oh my god, Susu, you suddenly appeared out of nowhere and scared me to death! I... do I need to report to you who I'm chatting with?"
Chen Xiaohu stuffed his phone into his pocket, then picked up his fast food and continued to eat heartily.
"Mom, my brother has been secretly dating someone! I just saw them chatting!"
Chen Xiaohu didn't expect Xu Susu to be so unconventional, calling him "Mom" at the drop of a hat.
"Huh? Xiaohu has a girlfriend? Where is she? Let me see!"
Chen Shuyue reacted even faster than Chen Shufang. She was just as excited as Jiang Duoduo was when she heard that her nephew had a girlfriend.
"Susu, really? Your brother is such a scoundrel, how could any girl be interested in him?"
