Chapter 14 The Fu Family
"Don't panic when you encounter problems; try to find a solution first. You've always done that very well."

Fu Chenggong sighed and then changed the subject, "She's just too good to rely on us old folks. Girl, you have to remember, you're never alone, we're always here for you."

"Uh-huh!"

Although I tried to restrain myself, I couldn't help but say these earnest words, which contained the old man's deep concern and reluctance to part with me. I was deeply moved.

"Alright, alright, stop crying like a little kitten. Yingzi and Tingzi will laugh at you when they get back."

"Let's see how it goes, see if you're satisfied with the job. If there's anything wrong before he leaves, Grandpa can still help you out!"

Wiping away her tears hastily, Su Ning sniffed and opened the first envelope as he instructed.

Both positions were for permanent employees: one was a sales clerk at Xiangnan Department Store, and the other was a purchasing agent in the purchasing department of a textile factory.

Both are rare and enviable positions. One is sheltered from the wind and rain, while the other, although arduous and involving frequent business trips, offers relative freedom.

These days, jobs in the city are extremely limited, and getting these two job openings must have required a lot of favors and effort.

The word "thank you" circled on her lips but she swallowed it back down. The old lady didn't like to hear such polite and formal words, and she also felt that verbal thanks were too pale and useless.

I'm incredibly grateful I made the decision to go to Shonan, no matter how complicated or perilous the future may be...

This time it's her turn, she will definitely do everything in her power to protect Grandpa Fu and prevent the tragedy from happening again!

"How's it going, girl? The sales staff at this department store have pretty good salaries and benefits, perfect for young ladies like you..."

"Grandpa Fu, I want to go to the purchasing department of the textile factory."

"Hmm? Tell me what you think?"

To his surprise once again, Fu Chenggong did not immediately object, saying, "Being a purchasing agent is not an easy job."

"I know~"

She gave him a playful smile, her bright eyes sparkling with dazzling light.

"This job is great! It broadens my horizons and I can come back to visit you from time to time!"

Given the national situation where everyone needs a letter of introduction to go anywhere, the only options for traveling freely across the country are truck drivers and purchasing agents from state-owned factories.

The work is tiring and involves a lot of travel, but it is indeed as she said.

In this regard, Fu Chenggong, who has always been open-minded, said no more and chose to respect his child's decision.

"Keep this too."

"What? Such a big bag..."

He glanced at Su Ning and pushed the bulging envelope back, saying, "Grandpa Fu, I don't need any of these things you know, and I can't accept them."

"Ha, you're showing off to me now. It's not a question of whether you need it or not."

“Yours was left to you by your maternal grandfather, while these were given to you by me, your grandfather. How can they be the same?”

Fu Chenggong slapped the things into her palm again, pouting proudly like a mischievous old man, "Your Grandpa Fu, although not as wealthy as your maternal grandfather, still gets double the money every month!"

"What? You're not accepting it because you look down on what I'm giving you? You think I'm not offering enough?"

"Okay, okay, stop! I'll stop, I'll stop!"

"Ah, that's right!"

……

The old man's hearty laughter came from the study, leaving the people who had entered the courtyard looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What's my grandpa up to at home all alone? Is he drunk?"

"How dare you talk like that, you brat!" Li Hehua thought to herself, but her hands didn't slow down either. She gave her youngest son a hard knock on the head. "You're just like your father, always wanting to get a beating."

Fu Ying, who was walking at the back, had a face that looked exactly like her younger brother Fu Ting. She was dressed in a plaid short-sleeved bubble dress, but her movements were energetic and did not match her ladylike style at all.

With sharp eyes, he spotted a yellow feed bag not far from the stone table in the courtyard. His long, upturned phoenix eyes widened instantly, and joy burst forth.

"Ningning, is that you?!"

"Sister Ning, you're here so early? Hey, wait for me!"

Hearing her daughter's words, Li Hehua, equally delighted, forgot all about beating that scoundrel and strode quickly after her into the main room.

"Aww~ Sister Ningning!"

The moment she stepped into the house, she bumped into the two people who came out of the study. Fu Ying's eyes lit up even more, and she let out a strange cry as she ran to her and hugged them tightly.

Long time no see, Su Da Mei Ren looks even more beautiful!
With pink hearts practically bubbling in his eyes, Fu Ying looked like a lovesick fool, hugging her and even letting out a satisfied sigh.

If... there weren't any other eyesores squeezing in, that would be even better!
"Hey, sis, you're still as weird as ever. Stay away from my Ning-jie!"

The same face on Fu Ting doesn't look feminine at all. Even if it doesn't conform to people's current aesthetic standards, one can't help but admire that he is a handsome and refined young man.

"Auntie, Yingying, Tingzi."

"Hey Ningning, when did you arrive? Are you hungry? Auntie will make you something delicious right away!"

Li Hehua was used to her son and daughter's behavior, finding it utterly offensive, so she simply ignored it. With such a delicate and sweet daughter, her dream girl, she didn't care for those two at all.

"Humph!"

A loud snort rang out, and the mother and her two children suddenly realized they had overlooked something.

"dad."

"Grandpa." "Grandpa."

Fu Chenggong chuckled: "Could you be any more perfunctory?"
Besides fighting him for Ning'er, what use are these filial sons and grandsons? Just throw them away!
"Yingzi and Tingzi, stop clinging to Ningning like maggots. Don't you know how much you weigh? Are you still acting like kids?!"

Two maggots: Oh, your grandfather?
Are those two maggots? Every single one of them, and all three of them on top of you, are getting their comeuppance!
"Ningning, come to my room, I have so much to say to you~"

"I want to go too! I..."

After pulling away the two guys who were tightly gripping his arms, Su Ning calmed himself down and looked at the two elders in the main room with feigned ease.

"Grandpa Fu, Auntie, let me whisper something to Yingying first~"

"Haha, okay, you two sisters go ahead."

"Go on, your aunt will call you two sisters after she's finished cooking!"

Fu Ting couldn't believe she'd been left alone. Her wet eyes widened, and she unconsciously pointed to herself with her index finger, her voice full of grievance, "Sister Ning, what about me?"

"What do you mean, 'you'? You're everywhere."

Li Hehua smiled very kindly, grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him out, "Give this to your mother, I'm going to help. Ah, my good son!"

"I don't want to, I want to stay with Sister Ning..."

Having already turned the tables, Fu Ying, who was being forced to wait, was half-pushed and half-carried into the room by Su Ning, and had no time to care about the guy who was yelling for help.

"Ningning, please sit down, I have something to tell you..."

As she sat on the edge of the bed, she raised her hand to interrupt her, her face showing a seriousness that Fu Ying had never seen before.

"Don't rush, Yingying, let me ask you, have you been getting particularly close to a male classmate lately?"
