Chapter 1266: I Have Something Urgent to Tell You

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but Sister Four's job has indeed been handed over. By the time I found out, Sister Four had already accepted a task from the superior department and accompanied a foreign delegation to the south; I haven't even seen her."

"I see. Alright then, I'll go find her later."

You came over so blatantly to ask her; aren't you afraid of being exposed?

Hao Yanhong wasn't afraid at all. After all, they no longer lived in the Fu household. If they hadn't met at the in-laws', they wouldn't even have seen each other. The eldest brother-in-law wasn't a gossip; he certainly wouldn't blab.

Leaving the Rolling Steel Mill, Hao Yanhong jogged to pick up her child. She didn't go straight home but waited for her husband right at the entrance of the Bearing Factory.

As soon as Fu Yanwei stepped out of the factory gate, he saw Hao Yanhong waving at him: "At this time, why are you here?"

Hao Yanhong reached out and grabbed Fu Yanwei's sleeve: "I have something urgent to tell you."

Fu Yanwei sounded somewhat impatient: "Urgent? What's so urgent? What's wrong with your mother's family again?"

"This time, it has nothing to do with my mother's family."

"Then what is it?"

"Sister Four is going to join the army. I heard she transferred her job to someone else. That's really unfair. Knowing full well I've been idle at home, she didn't even think of us for such a good opportunity. This matter can't just be left like this."

Hearing this, Fu Yanwei was stunned for quite a while. Once he came to his senses, he said: "Can't be left like this? What can you do about it?"

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously at all, Hao Yanhong said: "Fu Yanwei, what's your attitude? This matter is clearly Sister Four's fault. Now, among the sisters-in-law, I'm the only one without a job. She knows how anxious I am. Since she's going to join the army, why would she give this good opportunity to someone else instead of thinking of me?"

"Because the family doesn't just need this job for you. Don't forget about Xiao Wan. Sister Four probably thought of this too, which is why she didn't say a word and just transferred the job away."

"Xiao Wan is already engaged to Ren Jiangfeng. She'll be a married daughter in the future. Sister Four didn't tell us because she was afraid we couldn't afford the price!"

"Enough. Since the eldest brother has confirmed it, it must be true. You know Fourth Brother's personality. He treats Sister Four like his own eyeballs. If you really dare to go to their door, you'll just get a scolding from him. Why bother?"

"Fu Yanwei, this is a job at the Rolling Steel Mill. Can't you stand up for once, for my sake and for this family?"

"The job belongs to Sister Four, and it was hers even before she married Fourth Brother. How can I stand up? Don't you worry that Fourth Brother will get angry and beat me up?"

Seeing that he not only wouldn't help her but also spoke up for the fourth brother and his wife, Hao Yanhong was so angry she stamped her feet: "You really are mud that can't be plastered on a wall. Since you say so, from now on, don't keep saying that I don't care about you or can't share your burdens and such."

After speaking, she grabbed her son and stormed off in a rage.

Watching her leave, Fu Yanwei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Of course, he also wanted his wife to have a job, but Sister Four's job had already been transferred. Even if they went to their door, they still wouldn't be able to get it into their own hands.

Why insist on making everyone unhappy?

After Fu's mother arrived at Liu Chuxue's home with Liu Chuxue, she helped her tidy up quite a bit. Seeing that the delivered gifts included premium bird's nest, which was hard to get in these years without connections, she said: "Liu Chuxue, this is a good thing. However, it's too late to eat it now. I'll soak it for you in a while; tomorrow morning, you can just steam it and eat it."

Seeing Fu's mother who hadn't stopped working since entering the house, Liu Chuxue said: "Mom, rest quickly. I'll finish the rest of the cleaning."
