Chapter 167 I Eat More Salt Than You Eat Rice
Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were both shocked.
Jia Zhang was quick-witted and quick-handed. She quickly grabbed the money and counted it.
A full thirty dollars!
"Dongxu, have you gone to the factory to collect this month's salary?"
Jia Zhang asked.
Jia Dongxu shook his head:
"I'll go to the factory tomorrow to handle the paperwork and collect my salary."
Jia Zhang's eyes lit up, and she pointed at the paper in her hand and asked:
"Then this is?"
"I found a job and this is my advance payment."
Jia Dongxu's tone was indifferent, but his expression couldn't hide his pride.
Jia Zhang was surprised and delighted, and said excitedly:
"My son is amazing!"
"Do you think we can't survive without that steel mill?"
"My son turned around and found a better one!"
Qin Huairu was slightly surprised.
She had never expected that Jia Dongxu found a job so quickly, and even received an advance on his salary before he even started working.
"Dongxu, what kind of job did you find?"
Jia Dongxu said:
"My classmate recommended me to you. I worked in a steel mill before, and they need someone like me as a consultant."
"No, you found me."
"I went over to meet with their people today, and the matter has been settled."
Qin Huairu had never worked before and didn't understand the ins and outs here.
It sounded like that, but she still felt like she was dreaming.
After all, Jia Dongxu found a new job.
There is finally hope for life at home.
Her heart also brightened up.
He immediately smiled and said:
"This is great."
"Dongxu, you are really capable!"
Jia Zhang said:
"That is, is this the first day you know Dongxu's ability?"
"You have to remember that it is a blessing for you to marry my son."
She glanced at Qin Huairu:
"What are you still doing?"
"My son has been out working all day, why don't you get him a basin of hot water to soak his feet?"
Qin Huairu was happy and responded quickly:
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Qin Huairu went out to fetch water, and Jia Zhang asked:
"Dongxu, when are you going to work? Tomorrow?"
Jia Dongxu shook his head.
"This job doesn't require sitting in the office."
"I'll go when you need me and get the job done."
After saying this, Jia Dongxu felt a little less confident.
After hearing these words, Jia Zhang felt a little uneasy.
"That……"
"How is the salary calculated?"
Jia Dongxu said to her:
"Don't worry about this. I can't do without you."
"Look, I haven't done anything yet, but they've already paid me."
After all, this is not a formal job. To put it bluntly, it is the secret reselling of parts from the steel mill.
It's not a glorious thing to say.
So, Jia Dongxu spoke very vaguely.
Fortunately, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu have never worked and have no experience.
Jia Zhang said happily:
"Yep."
"It must be because you are so capable that you are treated like this."
"You get paid without doing any work. This is a treatment that even steel mills don't have. If the people in your factory knew about this, wouldn't they be jealous?"
Jia Dongxu quickly said:
"Mom, please don't tell anyone about this, especially the people in the factory!"
Jia Zhang was puzzled:
"why is that?"
Jia Dongxu said:
"Many people in the steel mill can do my job."
This happened to me because of my classmate.
"If others knew there was such a good way to make a living."
"It would be terrible if they find a way to take my job away from me."
Jia Zhang suddenly understood.
"I understand."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this!"
As she spoke, Qin Huairu came in from outside carrying a basin of water.
She picked up the kettle and added hot water to the basin.
While saying:
"A few days ago, Uncle Yi said that he would help you find a way to find you some other job."
"Now the problem is solved. You should talk to Master Yi about it so that he won't worry about it."
Jia Dongxu said:
"I just told mom, don't tell anyone about this."
Jia Dongxu repeated to Qin Huairu what he had just said to Jia Zhangshi.
Qin Huairu also nodded and said:
"okay, I get it."
"However, Master Yi is not an outsider, so why do we have to keep it a secret?"
Jia Zhang said:
"Isn't he an outsider?"
"Isn't it possible for outsiders to turn their elbows outward?"
Jia Zhang curled her lips:
"To be honest, Dongxu, I went to your factory today."
Jia Dongxu was stunned:
"Mom, what are you doing at the factory?"
Jia Zhang replied:
"Of course I'm going to seek justice for you!"
"You can fire someone just like that, regardless of whether the person lives or dies. That's not how you do things!"
When Jia Dongxu saw her expression, he knew that this would not have any effect.
Otherwise, given Jia Zhang's character of not being able to hold back her farts.
He should have been told long ago.
Jia Dongxu asked:
"Why, Master Yi went there too? Didn't he speak up for you?"
Anyway, Jia Dongxu has been fired from the steel mill.
So he didn't care if Jia Zhang made a fuss.
Of course it would be best if there could be a result.
If there is no trouble, there will be no loss.
After all, she is an old lady, and you can't hit people in the steel mill.
"He didn't go with them. They called him over after I talked to your factory director in his office for a while."
Jia Zhang curled her lips:
"Even if they come, they won't turn towards us."
"He just kept persuading me to go back."
Qin Huairu squatted on the ground, taking off Jia Dongxu's shoes and saying:
"Mom, you have to understand this."
"Uncle Yi still has to stay in the factory."
"You can't speak for our family in front of the factory director, right?"
Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at her:
"What do you know?"
Jia Zhang said to herself:
"I always feel that Old Yi is not as caring towards our family as he used to be."
"I can't really say when it started, but it's different from before."
Jia Dongxu advised:
"No way? Mom, are you overthinking it?"
"My master has taken good care of our family in the yard over the years."
Jia Zhang said:
"I, your mother, have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice."
"I can't be wrong."
Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:
"Could it be that you think there is no hope for me?"
Qin Huairu took the foot towel and handed it to Jia Dongxu.
She said nothing more.
She was a careful person to begin with, and after hearing what Jia Zhang said, she began to ponder over it.
Others may not be able to see it.
But the people in the Jia family could feel that Yi Zhonghai seemed to have changed recently.
Jia Zhang said:
"Dongxu, do a good job."
"Let's give those people who are waiting to see our family become a laughing stock a good slap in the face!"
Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and said:
"Mom, don't worry, I will."
"Let me see who still looks down on me, Jia Dongxu!"
