Chapter 665: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

Yue Ting cherished this opportunity that Song Xia had fought for very much. She not only wrote a good resume, but also reviewed all the office software she knew the night before.

"Tingting, you are already very capable, you don't need to worry too much." Song Xia said sincerely, because she knew that many people applying for jobs nowadays don't know anything and will learn after the interview. Yue Ting just doesn't have outstanding academic qualifications, but she still has working ability.

Because in her memory of her previous life, her daughter's only friend lived a very free and easy life. Later, he became a regional manager of a large company. He tried many times to save her daughter Wei Zhu, but was rejected by Wei Zhu in the end.

"I can't embarrass you, Auntie."

The next day, Wei Zhu got up early as usual to help Song Xia run the stall. This time, no matter how much Song Xia urged her, she refused to go back: "Mom, the time you spend setting up the stall every day is only three or four hours in total. I promise that I will make up for these three or four hours by studying and will not delay."

Seeing that she was so determined, and that he was indeed a little tired being alone, Song Xia didn't say anything else.

When the two of them closed their stall and returned home, Yue Ting had just gone out for a job interview and had cleaned the rented house tidy. Song Xia received a call from her son Wei Deng. After asking for two hundred yuan last time, Wei Deng asked for three hundred yuan three more times.

After hesitating for a long time, Song Xia finally gave it. After all, she didn't want to push him too much at once. When dealing with someone like Wei Deng, she had to take it slow. Compared with the living expenses of more than 4,000 last month, the total amount of only 1,100 this month was a big improvement.

"Mom, when are you going to transfer me the living expenses? Can't you transfer more at one time? Do you know how hard it is for me in school?" Wei Deng couldn't hold back his anger this time, because he had just lost face in front of his sweetheart, Mo Ru. Mo Ru had finally agreed to a date with him, and she just wanted to have a hotpot. But he couldn't even afford the money for a hotpot, so he could only play dumb and say he had something else to do today and they could make an appointment next time. What a great opportunity!
Song Xia said nonchalantly: "The school food is expensive, just eat outside, and don't always play with those rich kids, you know our family conditions."

"You always make me eat out. Now no one wants to play with me anymore. No one invites me when they go out for hotpot."

Song Xia continued to play dumb: "You want to eat hot pot? Come to my place and I'll make it for you. The food at hot pot restaurants is so expensive. I'll buy the ingredients myself. I can make you a full meal with just one or two hundred yuan."

"Is this the same thing? Mom, what's wrong with you recently? Why do you always refuse to pay me when I ask you for living expenses? Can I continue to study in college smoothly?"

Hearing this, Song Xia was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Son, it's not that Mom doesn't want to give you living expenses, but Mom is really having a hard time right now."

"You haven't found a job yet?"

"Mom has been out looking for work for two days. Those jobs were tiring and didn't pay much. Now I'm setting up a stall to sell snacks."

"Setting up a stall? What snacks can you make?" Wei Deng asked doubtfully, thinking that he was just fooling around. Could the income from setting up a stall be stable?
"I just sell some soy milk, pancakes and other breakfast items. I can't become rich, but I can barely make ends meet for now. Plus, I have to save for your tuition next year, so I have to be frugal."

"What about my sister's salary? Hasn't it been paid yet?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that you wanted your sister to resign?"

"Sister has already resigned?"

"I quit. You've been staying at my place for a few days. Now I have to support your sister, and the expenses are..."

"She quit her job because she didn't find one? Isn't that ridiculous?" Wei Deng was so angry that he was panting. In the middle of winter, sweat was pouring down his forehead. "It was mom who didn't allow your sister to find one. Mom was going to let your sister take the civil service exam."

"Civil service exam? What kind of civil service exam is she taking now? Mom, have you been deceived by her?" Wei Deng was so anxious that he turned around and around. "Can you pass the civil service exam in one go? She even quit her job to take the exam. She has no income, so how can I go to school?"

Song Xia said confidently, "Son, Mom asked your sister to take the civil service exam just for you."

"What do you mean by for me? If it's really for me, you should go find a good job now!"

"This is for your future, son. Think about it, after your sister passes the exam, won't her status and position be different? Not only can she help you, but she can also ask for more gifts when she gets married. This is a golden rice bowl that everyone envies!"

Although Song Xia advised him earnestly, Wei Deng was not so easily fooled: "Mom, it's not that easy to take the civil service exam. Hundreds or even thousands of people are competing for one position, and they have connections. How can she pass the exam? Mom, it's better to find a job and do it well. If you take the exam for a year, you will waste a year's salary. If you calculate it at 5,000 a month, it will be 60,000 a year!"

"So mom gave your sister three years to concentrate on preparing for the exam. If she still fails in three years, I will ask her to pay back double her salary for those three years."

"Mom, why can't I talk to you?"

"Son, it's not that I'm stubborn, but I think this idea is true and reliable. Anyway, your sister studied an average major, and it's hard for her to find a high-paying job. We might as well give it a try."

"What should I do if she really takes the exam for three years?"

"So, isn't this just setting up a stall to make money? Don't worry, no matter what, I will save the money for your tuition. As for your daily living expenses, you may have to save a little."

Wei Deng was afraid that his classmates would hear him, so he growled, "Am I not frugal enough? Do you know how many people laugh at me?"

"We are all college students, why do you discriminate against students from poor families? Their qualities are so poor, we just can't get along. Son, go and tell your counselor."

Wei Deng's face became even darker, because he had previously laughed at people whose living expenses were lower than his, but in just a few months, his own expenses were actually lower. What could he say?
"Okay, even if you let me prepare for the exam, she can always do a part-time job. She can earn money even if she works half a day. Isn't it enough to use the other half of the day to study?"

Song Xia thought to herself, this kid is really unwilling to not exploit his sister, how can there be such an ungrateful person?

"What if your sister fails the exam and refuses to give you money on this ground? Mom has already agreed to it. So, I will transfer another 500 yuan to you. You can spend it frugally, or you can go out and get a part-time job."

Sister Song Xia did not avoid Wei Zhu when she called. Wei Zhu was studying on the balcony while she was inside. There was only one bedroom in the house, so how big could it be? Therefore, Wei Zhu heard some of it.

But she was not sad, instead she felt relieved. This was her mother, and it was a little abnormal that she had been so nice to her these past few days. (End of this chapter)
