My scumbag husband only saves his white moonlight; I remarry the rough-and-tumble regimental command

Chapter 31 If you won't pay back the money, then give me a permanent job!

At this point, Li Xiu looked at the expressions on the faces of the people opposite her and smiled again: "These days, when you ask someone for a favor, how can you get it done just by talking? If you feel that you are not getting a good job as a temporary worker, that's fine. Give the job back, and I will return the money and the sewing plane ticket to you. We will be even."

Grandma Ye glared at her: "What kind of talk is this? What do you mean we're even? These are all brothers, family. I think you've corrupted my second son. He used to be the most sensible, how could he be so petty and calculating like you, with only money on his mind!"

Li Xiu didn't like hearing this, and even Ye Anjia couldn't sit still.

"Mom, if you think I'm being petty, fine. When I get my older brother and sister-in-law together, I'll tally up all the money I've given you over the years, the holiday gifts, and all the meat and grain you've eaten in our house. Let's see if I'm being too calculating, or if some people are just taking advantage and complaining!"

Grandma Ye was so speechless by these words that her face turned red.

If you really calculate it carefully, the second son definitely contributed more, while the eldest son contributed according to the normal share. However, because the eldest son lives far away, the elderly couple didn't get any benefit from it, but they always felt that the eldest son was successful, and they felt proud when they talked about it.

Now that Li Xiu has brought it up so directly, it makes them look like they're in the wrong and are acting like scoundrels.

They've all separated their households, and the old couple's house is to be taken over by the third son. The second son is supposed to give them a yearly allowance according to the household division agreement, but he still comes here all the time to freeload, while his allowance is kept by the third son. This is simply not right.

Especially during the years when food was scarce, their actions were truly embarrassing.

Li Xiu usually seems to have a good temper, but that's because she doesn't want to argue with them about these trivial matters. Mainly, she doesn't want to get too angry, nor does she want to make things difficult for Ye Anjia.

But little did they expect that this family would become a bottomless pit, truly believing that she could give them anything they wanted!

Grandpa Ye, being a man, was so ashamed by these words that he couldn't lift his head.

Grandma Ye, however, knew how to smooth things over: "Second son's wife, it's not right to say that. Don't we also invite you to eat at the third son's place during holidays?"

"Oh, so that's the third brother's house, not yours. I understand now, I won't go there again."

These words left the old lady speechless once again.

Grandpa Ye also knew that his second daughter-in-law was not someone to be trifled with, especially since she worked in an office, which put her at a higher level than ordinary workers. Her job was comfortable, but she earned more money.

Money is a person's confidence, especially for a woman like Li Xiu. She herself has been to school, and her family can support her. From the bottom of her heart, she is unwilling to flatter the old couple, because they don't care about the little money they have!

"Alright! Stop talking!" Grandpa Ye finally understood and knew that the money was gone. Since that was the case, there was no need to offend his second son's family too much, since he would need their help many times in the future.

At least Ye Fugui works at the machinery factory, and his second brother and Ye Feng are also there. With them around, Ye Fugui won't be bullied.

"Let's not talk about work anymore, it's already like this. But second brother, you'll have to put in a lot of effort to get Fugui promoted."

Li Xiu smiled slightly but remained silent.

Ye Hai worked as a temporary worker in the factory for almost a year before, but he still didn't get promoted.

Why didn't the old man speak up for Xiao Hai back then?

Ye Fugui has only been working here for a few days, he hasn't even gotten to know the staff yet, and he's already thinking about getting a permanent position.

Sure enough, it's easy to tell at a glance whether someone is favored or not.

However, Li Xiu was too lazy to pay them any attention.

He said he wouldn't ask for the money back, but if he really helped Ye Fugui get a permanent job, wouldn't it cost money? Wouldn't it require treating people to meals?

But they didn't mention it at all. Isn't this just a way of telling us to pay for it?

Why?

Do they think they have no shame?

Li Xiu didn't rush to retort because she knew that getting a permanent position wasn't something that could be done overnight, and Ye Anjia couldn't interfere with this matter; he certainly wouldn't dare to agree to it.

Sure enough, Ye Anjia shook his head: "Dad, I really can't control this job promotion. If I had that ability, wouldn't it have been better to just get Xiao Hai a permanent job in the first place? Besides, Fugui has only been gone for a few days. Aren't you afraid that people will find out if you're in such a hurry to make him permanent?"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and interjected, "The higher-ups are cracking down hard right now, so don't do anything reckless at this crucial moment. If someone reports you, Ye Fugui will have no choice but to go to the countryside."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wangjia's heart tightened.

He worked in a cotton mill, so he knew how tight the authorities were now with recruitment and other related processes.

The purpose is to prevent some people from deliberately wasting their lives in the city and refusing to support rural development.

Now the room was quiet.

Ye Nuan hid in the inner room, giggling.

Ye An's home is a separate small courtyard, and the living environment there is already quite good.

After all, many families nowadays have seven or eight people crammed into a 40-square-meter house, but their family basically doesn't have this housing problem.

Now, besides serving meals and receiving guests, the main room only has a single bed against the west wall where Ye Hai sleeps at night.

Ye Anjia and Li Xiu lived in the inner room on the east side, Ye Nuan lived in the west side, and Ye Feng and his wife lived in the first bedroom on the east side.

When Ye Nuan gets married, the house will be big enough for Ye Hai's wedding.

Every time Ye Xingjia came back, he was extremely jealous!

Why is it that after I took my second brother's job, I was able to find a good job in a machine factory?

Why is it that when we're all getting houses, my second brother's family gets such a nice yard, and their house is obviously bigger and has more rooms than mine?

When Yang Chunhua saw that she couldn't get her money back and there was no hope of getting a permanent job, she couldn't help but get angry.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, we didn't say we had to get Fugui's promotion done right now, but we still need you to keep it in mind. After all, we don't have any connections at the machinery factory, and we're counting on your family. We heard that Xiaofeng is highly regarded by the leaders at the factory. If Xiaofeng speaks well of Fugui to the leaders, we'll be eternally grateful!"

Li Xiu knew what kind of person Yang Chunhua was, and she also knew that what Yang Chunhua had just said, though seemingly a soft remark, actually revealed a lot of ulterior motives.

“Sister-in-law, we will definitely help if we can, after all, we are all family. If there is an opportunity, we will definitely help Fugui get a permanent position. But this matter cannot be rushed. After all, Xiao Hai was a temporary worker for almost a year. He is my own son. If I have a way, wouldn't I help him get a permanent position as soon as possible?”

Yang Chunhua was holding her breath, unable to breathe, and she was in terrible pain!
