In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

Luo Yu wrapped up the original owner's belongings in a small, tattered bundle. She planned to sleep there one more night and buy coal the next day before moving in, otherwise she would freeze to death this winter.

Fuyang is a city rich in coal resources, and coal is the least of its worries. Coal miners receive coal coupons every year, making coal very cheap.

If you can't afford coal, you can buy cheap coal slime.

Coal mining requires temperatures that cannot be too high, so a large amount of water is needed to flush the coal. This water, when discharged to the ground, mixes with coal dust and other particles to form coal slurry.

There is a coal sludge river in Fuyang that runs through several mining areas, located at the foot of the gangue mountain not far from Luo's house.

The coal mud river meanders around the Wulong Coal Mine, making it a convenient place for her to buy a house.

That evening, Luo's mother cooked dinner while muttering to herself. Luo Yu knew she was talking about her, but she didn't care. Let her say what she wants; it's not like it's going to hurt her.

A bowl of corn porridge and a cornbread. The cornbread was incredibly hard, and the corn porridge wasn't even cooked through. Luo Yu ate it with gritted teeth.

Looking at the eldest and second sons of the Luo family beside him, they seemed to have not eaten for three days, their eating manners were so unsightly that he immediately lost all appetite.

After finishing her meal, Luo Dasao Hou Min pushed her bowl aside and got up to go back to her room.

Luo's mother quickly called the person to a stop.

"You wash the dishes today, Yan Yan, you wash them tomorrow."

Hou Min was taken aback when she heard this. "Me, wash the dishes?"

Hou Min looked up at Luo Yu, "Isn't it always the fifth brother who does the dishes? Why am I the one doing the dishes today?"

Luo's mother glanced at Luo Yu and said sarcastically, "She's a worker now, she's so noble, how could she do the work of washing dishes?"

Hou Min laughed angrily, "So what if I'm a worker? Does that mean workers don't wash dishes? I'm a worker too, why should I wash them?"

With her authority challenged, Luo Mu snorted, "Just do what I told you to do. Why are you talking so much? Hurry up, it'll be dark soon."

Actually, it was already dark. It got dark not long after Mr. and Mrs. Luo got off work, and the Luo family ate their meal in the dark by the light of a kerosene lamp.

Hou Min was unhappy. "There are so many people in the family, why should I be the one to wash the dishes? Even if I am, we should schedule it again tomorrow, right? I've worked all day and I'm exhausted. I'm not going to do it. Let whoever wants to do it do it."

Second sister-in-law Yan Yan glanced at Hou Min and then at Luo Yu, who was eating with her head down. "Mom, did something happen today? Why are we being asked to do the dishes?"

Second sister-in-law Yan Yan works at the supply and marketing cooperative. She considers herself superior to everyone else, and thinks none of the Luo family's daughters are as good as her. She has never done any housework since she married into the family, so of course she is unwilling to do chores or serve her sister-in-law.

Luo's mother glanced at her and said, "I already told you, she's a worker now, she doesn't do housework anymore."

The whole family's attention immediately fell on Luo Yu.

"Has the fifth brother's job been secured?"

After asking her question, Hou Min looked at Luo Li.

"Didn't you say to send the fourth brother?"

Luo's mother glared at Luo Yu, "What can you do if someone doesn't want to? You have no conscience."

Hou Min looked at Luo Yu in surprise, "Why aren't you happy about it?"

Luo Yu looked up at Hou Min and said, "You're willing to give up your job? If you're willing, you should have said so earlier. It just so happens that Second Sister is unemployed and has to go to the countryside. You can give it to her instead, so that we two sisters won't fight and get angry."

Hou Min choked, "What do you mean, 'give up'? Why should I give up my job? Even if I were to give it up, it would be to my brothers on my mother's side, not to my sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Luo's mother became even angrier. "What? You've married into our family and you're still thinking about your brothers from your own family? You think it's unfair to give up your job? You're a member of the Luo family now, not the Hou family anymore."

Seeing that Luo's mother was angry, Hou Min dared not answer anymore and glared fiercely at Luo Yu.

Seeing that her job was gone again, Luo Li angrily slammed down her chopsticks and said, "I'm not eating anymore."

The chopsticks flew out and hit Luo's father on the head, which made him angry. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "Eat it or don't, if you don't want to eat it, get out of here."

Luo's father also got angry, and Luo Li knew she wouldn't get the better of him, so she shut her mouth in frustration.

Seeing that the show was about to end, Luo Yu smiled, pushed the bowl and chopsticks aside, and said, "Just let me know, I'm moving into the dormitory tomorrow and won't be coming back to live here normally. I've already transferred my grain and household registration. Here are my grain and household registration books."

He took the household registration book and grain ration book out of his pocket, put them on the table, and pushed them in front of Luo's mother.

Upon seeing that it was their own household registration book and grain ration book, Luo's mother quickly snatched it into her hands, flipping through it while asking, "When did you take it?"

"During the day today."

Startled, Luo's mother realized something and quickly got up and went inside. A short while later, she came out again, no longer holding the grain ration book and household registration book.

He gave Luo Yu a look that said, "You're smart to know what's good for you," and Luo Yu laughed in exasperation.

"What? You think I stole your money? Even though I have a share of the family's money, I'm not that shameless."

It's only about twenty yuan, she could get it after signing in for two days, why would she need to steal money? That's ridiculous!

Ignoring her mother's murderous glare, Luo Yu tapped her fingers on the table. "I'll come back to see you once a month from now on. I'll bring my own food and won't eat from home. Also, shouldn't we tell the others about the retirement money we agreed on? Don't let me be the only one paying for retirement while you spend all your wages on others and just rely on my retirement money to get by. Let's make this clear first, I can't afford to support you two old folks."

When it came to retirement money, everyone except Luo Li looked completely bewildered.

"What retirement money?"

Luo Li glared at Luo Yu with disdain. "Fifth Sister said that she will pay for Mom and Dad's retirement money after they retire. It's one yuan and fifty cents a month. Not only her, but we will also have to pay in the future, otherwise she won't give it to us."

Luo Zhi and Luo Xing exchanged a glance without speaking, their brows furrowed.

My parents aren't old yet, isn't it a bit premature to talk about retirement money?

Hou Min and Yan Yan didn't think so; they were furious even without looking at each other.

"My parents have retirement pensions, why should we pay for theirs? We still have to raise our children, aren't they born into the Luo family?"

Luo's sister-in-law, Hou Min, had a short temper and was easily angered; she was the first to object.

Luo Ersao Yan Yan chimed in, "Yes, Luo Xing and I don't earn much. We still have to support Jinye, and I'd like to have another child. If we have to pay for retirement, how will we have the money to raise a child? In a couple of years, Jinye will be starting elementary school, and the expenses will be huge."

In short, they just don't want to provide for retirement.

Hou Min works in a textile factory and earns 32.8 yuan a month. Luo Zhi works in a mine and earns more than 50 yuan a month. The two have a son and a daughter, which is enough for them to live comfortably.

Yan Yan can earn 36.2 yuan a month. Luo Xing and Luo Zhi both work at Ping'an Coal Mine and can earn more than 50 yuan. The two of them only have one child, and their salaries are more than enough to spend.

Of course, Luo's mother knew about her two sons' family situations, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing this.

She earns so much in a month, yet she's unwilling to give them even a dollar and fifty cents. How can she expect them to support her in her old age?
