Chapter 1808: A Job as Part of the Dowry
As soon as they got in the car, Jiang Minghua finally asked, "What exactly happened? You were all at home, so how did you forget to pick up Shi Tou?"
Du Juan smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, "Second cousin found a job for Aunt. Aunt was so happy she forgot to pick up Shi Tou."
Hearing this, Jiang Minghua said, "Found a job for Aunt?"
Du Juan nodded, "Yes, at Paper Mill No. 11. Although it's not in the same district, it's just right near Aunt's home, about seven or eight li away. There's a direct bus, so commuting is convenient."
The bus jolted, frightening Jiang Minghua into quickly reaching out to hold the person, and she didn't dare let go afterward. "Second cousin really is capable. If it weren't for Second cousin, Aunt's family would probably still be struggling in the village."
Du Juan nodded, "Second cousin is indeed very impressive. Last time, if it weren't for Second cousin, I and the baby..."
Thinking of the kidnapping incident before, even though so much time had passed, she still shivered directly. Jiang Minghua quickly hugged her, "It's all in the past. Let's not think about those unhappy things, okay?"
Du Juan softly 'hummed', "Okay, won't think about it."
After they left, Xiao Fu held that employment form and looked at it for a long time before putting it down. "Treat Chuxue better from now on. Our family owes so much to her."
Xiao Mu 'hummed', "Understood."
She took the form and looked at it for a long time again. "Later, go ask if there's a kindergarten over there. After the New Year, Shi Tou can go to kindergarten too."
Xiao Fu thought that was true. "Alright, I'll go ask tomorrow."
At this moment, Chunxiao's voice came from outside the door, "Mom, what's for dinner? I'm hungry."
Hearing this, Xiao Mu slapped her thigh again. "Look at me. I originally said I'd cook when we got back, but with this delay, I forgot again."
Chunxiao happened to hear this. "You haven't cooked yet?"
Xiao Mu glared at her. "What time did school let out? You're only coming back now?"
Seeing the battle about to burn onto her, Chunxiao grabbed her schoolbag, turned around, and headed to her room. "Of course I went to a classmate's house to review."
Xiao Fu watched Chunxiao turn and leave. "From now on, if there are household chores she should do, let her do them. If you start working, it won't do if she keeps acting like this."
Xiao Mu nodded. "I'll tell her during dinner."
On the other side, Fu Yan Cheng and Chuxue arrived at the eldest aunt's house. After the people who came to help gradually left, leaving only the people of the Fu family's eldest branch, Fu Yan Cheng finally spoke. "Eldest Aunt, Chuxue has a job. She starts after the New Year. She thought about giving this job to Yanjing, as part of her dowry."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a deep-sea bomb.
It shocked everyone.
Eldest cousin-in-law Ruan Simin was the first to cry out in shock. "A job as part of the dowry?"
Chuxue smiled and nodded. "It just so happens there was this opportunity. With this job, Yanjing will be able to stand tall in her husband's family in the future, won't she?"
At this moment, Eldest Uncle Fu Zhixing spoke up. "Fourth sister-in-law, we are already very moved by your good intentions, but Yanjing cannot take this job for free."
Eldest Aunt Fu finally reacted. "Fourth, Fourth sister-in-law, is there really a job for Yanjing?"
Fu Yan Cheng took out that employment form. "Yes, from Paper Mill No. 11. Reporting after the New Year."
Eldest Aunt Fu took it, her eyes slightly reddening. They had sought so many connections before, yet they still couldn't find a job for Yanjing. Who would have thought that just as she was getting married, a pie would fall from the sky.
Yanjing also rushed over, took the employment form from her mother's hands, and her hands trembled slightly.
