Get something in the courtyard

It was impossible for them to stay. The Yan family had no reason to eat at home without paying.

After Yan Jiefang left, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng also left under the pretext of taking care of the children.

The rest of the people looked at Yan Bugui, hoping he could come up with some ideas, but he had no idea, so he waved his hand and let everyone go.

The Yan family's discussion ended in failure, while the Jia family's discussion was met with constant criticism.

Jia Zhang pointed at Qin Huairu angrily and said, "You don't care. Banggeng has been spoiled since he was a child and can't stand hardship. Can you bear to let him go to the countryside to suffer?"

Both widows came from the countryside, and their dream was to escape the fate of working in the fields. No matter what, they were unwilling to go to the countryside, which was the only hope of the Jia family.

"Do you think I haven't thought of a solution? But it's so hard to find a job these days, what do you want me to do?" Qin Huairu said aggrievedly.

In order to find a job for Banggeng, she went to Li Huaide again, but was fooled by Li Huaide several times and got nothing except a little money.

"What about Yi Zhonghai? Isn't he afraid that Banggeng will go to the countryside and never come back, and no one will take care of him in his old age?"

Qin Huairu sighed again. Yi Zhonghai certainly didn't want Banggeng to go to the countryside. The old man had such a strong desire for control that he wanted to tie Banggeng to his waist and teach him the principle of respecting the elderly.

But what can he do if he is reluctant to let her go? Yi Zhonghai took her to the street office many times, but he couldn't find a job for Banggeng. Even the job of cleaning toilets was not willing to be given to her.

Jia Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "What's the point of you sighing in front of me? The most important thing now is to find a solution."

Qin Huairu said helplessly: "I want to, but who can I find?"

"Go find Xu Damao and Wang Kun. They will definitely have a way." Jia Zhang said bluntly.

Anyway, she only gave advice and didn't care how it was done. That was Qin Huairu's business.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang with a headache, and could only agree. Apart from Xu Damao and Wang Kun, she really couldn't think of anyone to look for.

The Jia family was not at peace, and Yi Zhonghai's family was also not at peace, even more worried than the two widows. Because of Banggeng's work, Yi Zhonghai had not slept for several nights, and his hair had turned white with anxiety.

"Don't worry. Didn't the notice say that you can come back after going to the countryside?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "What do you know? Banggeng is too deeply influenced by Zhang's wife. Without my guidance, he will easily learn bad things. What if he learns to be unfilial from others? What will happen to our retirement?"

When it comes to the topic of old-age care, it is hard for Auntie to say anything. We have seen what kind of person Banggeng is over the years. Auntie, to be honest, is far worse than Shazhu. It is a pity that they did not cherish Shazhu when he was alive.

Because the two words "Shazhu" became a taboo in front of Yi Zhonghai, even aunties didn't dare to mention it.

Seeing that the old lady did not respond, Yi Zhonghai sighed again, stopped talking, and began to think about how to solve the problem.

Compared with the sad expressions of these families, Liu Haizhong was in a quite good mood.

The second aunt talked about her going to the countryside, and then asked, "Can you find a job for your son?"

Liu Haizhong snorted and scolded, "What kind of job are you looking for? Going to the countryside is a national event and is encouraged by the state. We must support it. Guangtian, ask for half a day off from work tomorrow. I will take Guangfu to see Director Wang and sign him up to go to the countryside."

Everyone in the family looked at Liu Haizhong in surprise.

Although the second aunt did not treat her son as a human being, she was reluctant to let him leave, so she said, "You are confused. Why did you let Guangfu go to the countryside when he was fine? Life in the countryside is so hard. How could you bear to let him go?"

Liu Haizhong said nonchalantly: "So what if life is hard? Everyone has experienced hard times. Didn't the policy say that we can go to the countryside to train for a few years and come back?"

I have inquired about it. Those who support the policies of the street office will be rewarded. As long as I take the lead in supporting it, the street office will give me a reward. With this reward, the factory will not dare to let me continue to clean the toilet.

When I return to the workshop, my salary will also increase. This is a good thing for our family."

The second aunt was no longer concerned about her son and asked quickly, "Can you really be rewarded?" "Of course." Liu Haizhong said firmly, "Go out and ask around. Many people were rewarded on the street last year. If I had known earlier, I would have signed up for Guangfu last year."

The couple was imagining what life would be like after receiving the award, completely ignoring the expressions of their two sons.

The two brothers felt very disappointed. Other parents would do everything they could to keep their children by their side so that they would not suffer. But their parents, on the other hand, wanted to sell their sons for their own sake.

The two believed that if Liu Guangtian also had no job, he would also be asked by Liu Haizhong to go to the countryside.

Over there, Liu Haizhong discussed with the second aunt, and then said to Liu Guangfu: "Did you hear me? You must behave well when you go to the countryside, and you must not bring shame to our family."

Liu Guangfu felt resentful and did not answer them.

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but he managed to hold back the impulse. If Liu Guangfu made trouble for him and said that he was forced to do it, he would definitely not get the reward.

"If you agree to go to the countryside, I'll ask your mother to give you ten dollars."

The second aunt said reluctantly: "Why give so much? Two yuan, not one yuan, is enough. Listen to your father. If your father goes back to the workshop and gets a higher salary, we can live a good life."

Liu Guangfu thought, I've already gone to the countryside, who cares whether you live a good life or not? He knew very well that since Liu Haizhong had decided to let him go to the countryside, he would definitely not change his mind. Even if he tried to find a way to stay, life at home would not be easy.

Instead of staying at home and being blamed, it is better to go out and try your luck.

"You can let me go to the countryside. Give me 500 yuan and I will agree."

"Five hundred? Are you crazy? Our family doesn't have that much money." Second Aunt shouted in dissatisfaction.

Liu Haizhong also glared at Liu Guangfu, complaining that he was asking for too much.

Liu Guangfu bravely said: "It will take at least three years to go to the countryside. If my father is rewarded because of me, he can earn this money in one year."

This is calculated based on Liu Haizhong's salary as a level 6 worker. He didn't plan to ask for so much, and he knew he couldn't get it. But he asked for a high price and paid a low price. If he asked for less, he would have no more money after bargaining.

Liu Haizhong stared at Liu Guangfu, trying to scare him away, but Liu Guangfu did not back down this time, and his plan failed.

There was no other way, so Liu Haizhong had to raise the price: "Fifty yuan."

When Liu Guangfu saw that there was a way, he said, "Four hundred and fifty."

"One hundred dollars."

"Four hundred dollars."

The final deal was three hundred dollars.

Liu Guangfu was very satisfied. This was more than he wanted: "You must give me money first. Otherwise, I won't agree."

"You little bastard, don't go too far. I gave you the money and you ran away with it. Who can I look for?" The second aunt couldn't help but scold.

Liu Guangfu thought for a moment and said, "Then give the money to my brother."

The second aunt continued to refuse. Her plan was very clear in her mind: once Liu Guangfu submitted his application to go to the countryside, it would be up to them to decide whether to give him money or not.

Liu Guangfu got angry and said, "If you dare to lie to me, I will tell the street office that it was my father who forced me to go to the countryside with a stick."

Worried about affecting Liu Haizhong's reward, Second Aunt had to give the money to Liu Guangfu in advance. (End of this chapter)
