Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 304 It’s still a matter of money

Although Aunt Hu's voice was soft, Aunt Liu was not deaf, so she naturally heard what she said.

She knew that many people around her disliked her behavior, but they didn't show it to their faces, and she didn't want to go up and retort directly.

But now that Aunt Hu has run into trouble, don't blame her for making a fuss.

Aunt Liu immediately opened her voice and yelled, "Mr. Hu, what are you talking about? What's wrong with me giving the job to Quan Cheng? This job originally belonged to Quan Cheng's father, and now it's given to Quan Cheng. Is there anyone who can say anything about it?"

"I'm going to ask the neighborhood office and the factory today to see if this job can be done in full. I'll let others talk to us about it!"

As Aunt Liu spoke, she put down the things in her hands and rushed out. Seeing that she was about to reach the door, everyone quickly pushed Aunt Hu.

"Hurry up and go! If she makes a scene outside, this matter will be difficult to handle!"

After all, if you whisper a few words about the succession, no one will pay attention, but if you make it known to others, you will make a mistake.

In particular, everyone knew that this job originally belonged to Quancheng's father, and it was only natural to hand it over to Quancheng. Even if the leader came, there would be no problem.

Aunt Hu also knew that her mouth had caused trouble, so she quickly ran to the door and said to Aunt Liu, "I'm just quick-witted. This whole process was pretty good. He's a grown man, he should get back to work. You'll enjoy a good life in the future!"

After reluctantly praising them a few words, Aunt Liu snorted coldly and took her things back to the house.

Aunt Hu finally felt relieved upon seeing this. After all, if this matter was not handled well and it really got out, she would be criticized.

She still felt a little uncomfortable, so she could only mutter quietly, but this time no one could hear what she said.

"Okay, stop talking. I know you're worried about your children going to the countryside, but there's nothing we can do about this work. Who can leave all their children behind? Isn't it like this?"

Aunt Hu sighed fiercely: "Who says it's not true! Our eldest son has already gone to the countryside. If the second son goes to the countryside too, it will be the end of my life!"

"But the policy has already been implemented, and his family can't afford to buy him a job. I don't know how they are doing in the countryside!"

When everyone saw Aunt Hu talking about her two sons, they immediately agreed with her, then pretended to have something to do and quickly left.

After all, once she starts talking, she can't stop. If she doesn't leave early, she might not be able to do anything else today.

Everyone dispersed, leaving only Aunt Hu alone. She was not in the mood to continue washing clothes, so she took her things home.

Because the timing was just right, Zuo Zhizhi heard the whole story, but it was just not convenient for her to come in. Now that she saw everyone was going back, she took the things home.

But looking at the situation of this family, it is really difficult to deal with.

But it is indeed a rare thing that Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu can still stay together after quarreling like this.

When Gu Jiqing returned home, Zuo Zhizhi told him about this matter and couldn't help but sigh: "This is all because of what happened in the countryside!"

Gu Jiqing nodded and whispered, "I think it's more than that. There's more trouble going on in the Liu family."

Zuo Zhizhi was a little surprised: "There's more trouble going on. This family has been making such a fuss until now. Will this matter never end?"

"Guess why Uncle Liu doesn't want Quan Cheng to take over? You know, there's essentially no difference between Aunt Liu's job and Quan Cheng's job. One person works, and the other stays at home!"

Zuo Zhizhi heard Gu Jiqing's words, thought carefully for a moment, and said doubtfully: "Money?"

Gu Jiqing nodded and shook his head: "Yes, and no!"

"Although after taking over the job, his seniority has been reduced and he has to start from scratch, so the initial salary will be less!"

"But this is only temporary. Aunt Liu used to be in charge of cleaning. No matter how many years she works, her salary is limited and won't increase much!"

"But that's not necessarily the case throughout the entire process. He's tall and strong, and a skilled worker. If his level rises, his salary will increase rapidly!"

Hearing Gu Jiqing's words, Zuo Zhizhi nodded: "Indeed, the money may be less in the first few months, but in a few months, the money will increase, and then the family will earn more!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiqing had a wicked smile on his face: "More money? That's not necessarily true! You have to know that this is the age to get married! To get married, you need money, gifts, a house, and furniture! You are short of everything and need to buy everything. Do you think you can still have money?"

Zuo Zhizhi suddenly realized: "Uncle Liu wants Quan Cheng to go to the countryside. Not only is it for work, he also hopes that Quan Cheng can get married in the countryside so that he can have less burden!"

"He probably thinks so in his heart, but he may not say it out loud. But I think Aunt Liu and Quan Cheng are not confused, so when the salary is paid, we will know what is going on."

Sure enough, it was not until the day when the salary was paid that Uncle Liu realized where the problem lay.

As usual, he went to the finance office to queue up to collect his salary. In order to get there earlier, he packed his things early in the morning just to get his salary quickly.

He was outside chatting and laughing with the people in front and behind him while waiting slowly. After the people in front of him had received their wages, Uncle Liu went in and registered his name naturally.

After receiving his salary, he casually asked about the whole process, but found that he had already taken his salary away.

Uncle Liu didn't care much about it. After all, he took the salary. They were still a family when they went home today, so he couldn't just calculate it separately.

So when it was time for dinner, Uncle Liu started talking naturally: "Xiao Cheng, you have to keep your salary safe. You should also give the money to your mother. We have to make a good plan. We can only get by if we have a plan!"

Quan Cheng didn't answer, but looked at Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu put down her chopsticks and just shook her head and said, "I don't think it's going to work out. After all, Quan Cheng is already quite old now. He has to find a partner quickly. What will he do if he doesn't have some money? With his salary, he can't even take care of him and his partner. It's good that he doesn't have to rely on his family for subsidies. If he takes this money, he'll starve to death!"

Although Uncle Liu knew that this matter would not go so smoothly, he did not expect Aunt Liu to refuse directly.

You have to know that he just asked Aunt Liu to put the money away, but he had no intention of touching it.

Seeing how the two of them cooperated with each other, Uncle Liu couldn't help but start to get angry.
