Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project

Chapter 700: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

From his memory, Wei Zhu felt that the relationships among his relatives were average. His father was an only child, and after his death, he had almost no contact with his cousins. Although he had an uncle on his mother's side, the uncle had always been the vampire.

In the past, my mother valued my uncle's only younger brother. Later, after she moved to the city and became more clear-minded, she stopped having any contact with him. She really didn't expect that Zhuang Bo's aunt would directly give them 50,000 yuan.

Netizens often say that fifty thousand or one hundred thousand are not worth much, but when they really start saving money, they find that it is really not easy for ordinary people to save fifty thousand yuan, especially since Zhuang Bo’s aunt’s family is just an ordinary working class, not a wealthy family.

Wei Zhu sighed deeply: "This friendship is too deep."

Zhuang Bo smiled slightly, "My aunt has loved me since I was a child, and my uncle also misses the friendship that my parents helped them. They have always attached great importance to my major life events. I guess I won't be able to return the 50,000 yuan, but my aunt and uncle's sister will take the college entrance examination soon. We can give her a mobile phone and a notebook when the time comes. What do you say?"

"Of course." Wei Zhu nodded heavily, "When my sister gets married, we will give her another dowry."

"It's all up to you."

"And uncle, don't let him work too hard. With your savings, we have quite a bit of money now. And if the interview goes well, we can all get a stable job. We won't have to worry about our future. There's really no need to give us anything."

Zhuang Bo smiled bitterly: "I have advised Dad before, but he didn't listen. Maybe it will get better after we get married and have children."

Wei Zhu's ears turned red: "Then let's pray that we can all pass the interview successfully!"

Before leaving, Zhuang Bo's father packed a lot of local specialties, almost filling up the trunk. The most numerous items were local eggs and bacon, as well as several slaughtered local chickens, ducks and geese.

"My mother-in-law owns a store, so she can use all these. They are raised at home, so they are not worth much."

Zhuang Bo's father still felt that he had given too little. Although he was a country man, he was not a person without vision. The wine that his mother-in-law brought was not simple, not to mention there were many other things.

My son told me that many wealthy people in the city pay high prices to ask my mother-in-law to make wine and cook. This is a skill, and craftsmanship is priceless!

"Uncle, you are too polite. It is not cost-effective to sell these things to customers."

"Then put it in the refrigerator and eat it slowly. I'm alone at home. If you don't take it, it will be a waste if you keep it at home."

"Uncle, goodbye."

"Goodbye. When you decide to get married, uncle will visit your mother-in-law again."

"Well, I'll tell my mom."

After Zhuang Bo and Wei Zhu came back, Song Xia was also shocked by the amount of food: "There are so many, we can't even finish them at home."

"Just put it in the store and sell it, it's the same."

"Then I will ask my old customers to raise the price of these local chickens and ducks from the village and see if they are willing to accept it."

Zhuang Bo smiled and said, "Auntie, it's up to you to decide."

Wei Deng looked at the Zhuang family's return gift, and felt less regretful about breaking up with Mo Ru.

"Zhuang Bo, Uncle Zhao and his friends want to buy some free-range eggs and chickens directly. Do you think that's okay?" After Song Xia sent the message, many customers agreed. There is a fundamental difference between the chickens raised by rural people themselves and the so-called free-range chickens on the market. As long as the ingredients are good, a slight price increase doesn't matter. In their opinion, Song Xia's previous selling price was too low.

Zhuang Bo shook his head: "Auntie, they are all for you. You can deal with them yourself. You don't need to ask for my opinion. I agree with everything." "Then I will give you the money from the sale, and you can give it to your father."

"Auntie." Zhuang Bo's voice was a little more urgent this time. "If my dad knew that I was still accepting money, he would be angry and upset. What I give you is all yours."

"Okay then." Song Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "Since your father likes the wine I brew, I'll brew more next time, and also the fruity and floral scents that women prefer. I'll give some to your aunt then."

"Hey." Zhuang Bo finally smiled. "My dad and aunt will probably love this. But please don't tire yourself out."

Song Xia waved her hand: "It's just a matter of convenience. It won't take much effort. But you will have to wash the fruits and flowers when the time comes."

"Well, when the time comes, just leave these basic tasks to me."

Because Song Xia had a good reputation for business, most of the agricultural and sideline products brought by Zhuang Bo were quickly snapped up by old customers. It was only because she asked to leave some for the store that everyone stopped asking for more.

After the Chinese New Year, Song Xia's store reopened and was still packed with people. Wei Zhu and Zhuang Bo entered into emergency interview training. Both of them had high scores in the written tests of their respective companies. As long as they perform well in the interview, there should be no major problems.

Among them, Pei Xin came over specially to explain the key points to the two of them. She is an experienced person and has been working for a year, so her suggestions are very sincere.

Pei Xin didn't expect that Wei Zhu would be so successful.

To be honest, when she first met Aunt Song on the train, she didn't think that Aunt Song's daughter could pass the exam so easily, especially for a unit in the provincial capital where the competition was very fierce. At that time, Wei Zhu was still working in a factory, and she could never have imagined that she would be able to pass the exam with a civil servant.

I didn't expect Wei Zhu to be so hardworking and smart.

Fortunately, I quit my job at the factory, otherwise I would have been buried in shame for the rest of my life.

In March, Wei Zhu and Zhuang Bo received interview notices one after another. They worked in different companies, and Wei Zhu was two days ahead of Zhuang Bo. However, if both of them passed the exam, their future workplaces would not be far apart.

Following Pei Xin's suggestion, Wei Zhu dressed appropriately that day and took the subway to the interview location.

Song Xia has been a little absent-minded since her daughter went for the interview. The dishes she prepared that day were much less than usual. She had not told anyone else that her daughter was going to take the civil service exam, for fear that someone with ulterior motives would find out and do something bad.

In the afternoon, she finally felt relieved when she saw her daughter walk into the shop with a smile on her face.

"I'll have to wait and see what the final result is, but I think my performance today was good."

It was rare for Song Xia to see her daughter so confident, so she smiled and said, "Ask Zhuang Bo to come over tonight. Mom will cook a delicious meal. Zhuang Bo will come the day after tomorrow?"

"Ah."

“I hope he can perform well then.”

Perhaps it was because of the good experience Pei Xin had given him before. Just as Song Xia said, after the interview, Zhuang Bo also felt that he had performed well. However, sometimes the results were full of possibilities, so he was not sure.

"We have tried our best. We just need to wait for the notification. You are still young. Even if you fail this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Zhuang Bo held Wei Zhu's hand and smiled. He hoped that they could pass the exam so that they could prepare for marriage in the second half of the year.
