She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Given Widow Huang's personality, could she really endure the hardship of working from dawn till dusk? I bet she just wants to reap without sowing.

It's so easy to get something for nothing. Just put on a sad face and complain to people, and they'll take pity on her and give her some financial assistance. Her family lives better than many people in the city.

Old Chen was taken aback. Could someone really ask that question back?

Yeah, why didn't she ask the rest of his family? Why did she have to ask him? She really has no tact; isn't she just adding fuel to the fire in his family?

Widow Huang smiled slightly. "Oh, right, sister, do you have any job recommendations for me?"

Grandma Xia chuckled, "You know what, I actually have some here."

"What, you have it?" Old Chen was really surprised. Why didn't she tell her own family about such a good thing? Her second son had just lost his job, so this could fill the gap.

Old Mrs. Xia didn't even glance at her, and continued speaking to Widow Huang, "I feel sorry for you, so why don't I take you to see someone?"

Widow Huang paused for a moment, feeling quite unhappy. Who wanted to go to work? It was too tiring. In a few years, when her son and daughter were earning money, she could stay home and enjoy her retirement. Why bother going to work?

However, she couldn't say that, because it would make her seem like a lazy old woman, which wouldn't be good for her reputation.

So she pretended to be happy and said, "That's great, sis, what kind of job is it?"

Grandma Xia stared at her intently. "One of our factory's cleaners quit, leaving this position vacant. It's just a temporary job. Do you want to take it?"

"Cleaning...cleaner?" Widow Huang was furious. How could someone as fashionable as her be a cleaner?

That old hag Xia is truly a heartless and wicked person. She can't stand that her man is so infatuated with her that he's completely lost his way, so she deliberately uses this kind of job to mock her. It's simply despicable.

Grandma Xia: "Yes, there are many people who want this job. If you want it, I can help you get a job. This job isn't very good; I doubt it will fetch a high price."

"Want to buy more?"

Grandma Xia asked in confusion, "Of course, there are so many kids going to the countryside these days, nobody wants to go, everyone's scrambling for any job. I'm only helping you because of your relationship with my husband, Old Chen. What, you don't want to pay for it?"

Widow Huang forced a smile. "No, sister, I'm extremely grateful that you found me a job. A job must cost a lot of money, right? I can't afford that much. You know my family is poor. How could I possibly come up with so much money all at once? Forget it."

"Didn't you just ask about Old Chen's job? I thought you had the money ready. But it's okay, I'll talk to the factory and the money for the job can be deducted from your monthly salary. It won't be long before we pay it off." Old Mrs. Xia seemed to be thinking of her best interests.

Old Chen was almost moved to tears. He felt that his wife was a kind-hearted person with a cold exterior, who was willing to tell Widow Huang about her job.

He had misunderstood. Although he had been persuaded by Old Lady Xia's words, he still felt that she had some ulterior motives towards Widow Huang. Even now, he still felt that Widow Huang was not as bad as she said.

Widow Huang's face was even more ashen than if she had eaten shit. What did this damned woman mean? Was she going to force her to buy a job? "Or... or never mind, I have some things to do at home, I'll be going now."

She turned away briskly, afraid that Old Lady Xia would force her to do some kind of cleaning job—how unlucky! She would absolutely not do that kind of work; it was not something a delicate widow like her should be doing. No, no matter what the job was, she didn't want to do it. Why would she work herself to death at a job when she could get something for free?

Actually, what Grandma Xia said was right. Nowadays, even the worst, most undignified job can fetch a high price. It's just that Widow Huang has a high opinion of herself, and she probably wouldn't even look down on any temporary job.

Ambitious beyond measure, this is the kind of person Old Lady Xia despises the most.

If it were her, she would do anything to support her child when she was unemployed. If someone told her about this job at that time, she would be so grateful that she would cry.
