1413: A Job Has Been Arranged

A Job Has Been Arranged

Han Chuanzong had been spoiled by his family. He usually got whatever he wanted. If he decided on something, no one in the family could oppose him.0

He said he wanted to move to the city, and Father and Mother Han were unable to refuse.

Mother Han wanted to follow. If Mother Han went, then Father Han would go too. Han Jing was furious.

"If all of you go, what will happen to the house here? Are you going to abandon the house? Even if Elder Brother and Sister-in-law manage to earn money, will it be enough to support all of you?

"If you go, you will need food and a place to stay and that will all fall on Elder Brother. Why not spend the money on Chuanzong instead!"

Her words jogged Han Chuanzong's memory.

During his day at the Gu house, he listened to Gu Ziang and the rest analyze the Han family's situation. When he said he wanted to move to the city, Gu Ziang even helped him make a plan.

Living in the city was indeed expensive. When his elder brother and sister-in-law go there to work, they would not earn very much at first. Perhaps when his elder sister, Han Jing, graduated, they might earn a little more.

But for now, he absolutely must not bring his parents along. If they followed, that would cost more. If the money was all spent on him, then he would naturally have more spending money.

"Right, Elder Sister is right. The two of you remain here to take care of the house. You can take care of the fields as well. The important thing is that Elder Brother, and I won't need to buy grain in the city. That saves us a sum of money."

Today, he heard Gu Ziang and the rest analyzing the costs. They were just too incredible. He had never thought about such things in the past.

Now Han Chuanzong was beginning to think of ways to manipulate the family so that all its resources could be used to fulfill his desires.

This was the first step in Li Qinglang's plan. He had to move the child to the city and separate him from parents like Father and Mother Han. Only then could he be educated. Otherwise, everything else would be futile.

Han Chuanzong was adamant that he must move to the city. He created a huge fuss, and in the end, Father and Mother Han had no choice but to consent.

But they could not agree on who should go first to look for work.

Han Shu was a son and the pillar of their family. If he left, Father and Mother Han would feel uneasy.

Wang Xiaoqin was their daughter-in-law. It was best if she could go and earn money, but they did not want her to leave either. After all, they needed their daughter-in-law to remain at home and wait on them.

After arguing for half a day, they ultimately decided to let Wang Xiaoqin go and look for work first. She would bring her salary back. Han Shu would remain at home as the fieldwork was not yet done.

They would discuss the matter again when it was done.

Wang Xiaoqin was delighted, and so was Han Jing.

"Sister-in-law, don't mind the salary. Just leave. The important thing is to get out. Once you have your salary, you can just give them a little every month to pacify them. Don't worry; most of it will still belong to you."

Wang Xiaoqin had some assurance. Her husband was not one of those blindly filial men. She knew that if she went to work, her husband would not make her give her entire salary to her in-laws.

"I understand. Thank you, Jing Jing. I'll find a job in the city and work hard."

Han Jing smiled. "Sister-in-law, actually, I've already found a job for you. It's in a small restaurant, and you'll be washing dishes and cutting vegetables. You'll have two days off a month. You'll start work at 8 am, have a break at 2 pm, then work from 4 pm to 9 pm.

"The hours are rather long, and the salary is not very high. 75 yuan a month."

In the '90s, in a place like the capital, at a time like that, a salary of 75 yuan for that kind of workload was not very high but still acceptable.

When Wang Xiaoqin heard it, she said gladly, "That… is already very good!"
