Chapter 950: That Makes Sense, But Jobs Aren't Chinese Cabbage

Fu Yanming was truly happy for his fourth brother and chimed in, "That's right. One more promotion and it'll be Level 13, with a salary of fifty-five yuan."

Guo Wenjing smiled at Fu Yan Cheng, "In the future, Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law will surely have a good life."

Liu Laosan looked at his younger brother with envy, "Fourth Brother, your luck is unmatched. If Fourth Sister-in-law really gets promoted one more level, her salary will be higher than mine."

Seeing Fu Yanwan, hearing her third brother's words, immediately undercut him, "Fourth Sister-in-law's salary was already higher than yours before. She holds a cadre position, earning forty-eight and a half yuan a month. Even before, you were still over three yuan short of Fourth Sister-in-law, Third Brother."

Fu Yanhong glared at his sister, "Couldn't you just pretend not to know? Don't you care about my face?"

Seeing Fu Yanwan didn't care about that; she truly liked her future fourth sister-in-law. "Didn't Eldest Brother say earlier that Fourth Sister-in-law also helps translate materials for the factory office on the side? Third Brother, you can't catch up to Fourth Sister-in-law even if you flatter her. Don't forget, those might be calculated separately."

Zhang Yurong couldn't stand her sister-in-law defending the fourth brother's wife who hadn't even entered the household yet. "Xiao Wan, your Third Brother is your own brother. You can't even distinguish between close and distant relations. How can you speak to your Third Brother like that?"

Fu Yan Cheng looked up at Zhang Yurong sitting opposite him. "What Xiao Wan said is the truth. Besides, Xiao Wan was just joking with Third Brother. Can't you even tell that, Third Sister-in-law?"

Fu Yanhong picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Zhang Yurong's bowl beside him. "Xiao Wan was joking with me. Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Zhang Yurong saw her in-laws looking at her too, so she said nothing more, directly picked up the meat from her bowl, stuffed it fiercely into her mouth, and chewed.

To be honest, hearing that the fourth sister-in-law about to enter the household could earn such a high salary, she felt not only envy but also jealousy in her heart. She had been working for several years yet still earned a salary of thirty-six and a half yuan. Why should someone who had just started working less than a year ago earn more than her?

Moreover, after the New Year, there would be another promotion. How could she, as a sister-in-law, bear this? Working at the Department Store Building was the capital she had always been proud of. Even Eldest Sister-in-law was still two yuan short of her.

Hao Yanhong's face changed directly. "Mom and Dad, you previously said that the family would split when Fourth Brother got married and returned to his in-laws. But now, the First, Third, and Fourth households are all dual-income families, with salaries higher and higher. I won't mention that. My Yanwei still has no job. If the family splits, how will our family of three live?"

Fu Father had originally thought about saying it in a few days, but since the second daughter-in-law brought it up: "Didn't I tell you before? The family has already found connections for Yanwei. It should be about done after the New Year. At that time, you can go back directly to handle the Huicheng procedures."

"Just one point, I must make clear. Back then, Yanwei went down to the countryside chasing you, not because the family abandoned him. So you shouldn't envy your other brothers, and create fewer of those troubles. We can only do this much. What happens in the future depends on yourselves."

Hao Yanhong glanced at the two sisters-in-law and wanted to argue further. "Mom and Dad, after returning to the city, Jinze should also go to school. Relying solely on Yanwei's salary to support the family might be difficult. Could you see if you can help me find a job too? Even a temporary job would be better than staying idle at home."

Fu Mother didn't wait for her husband to reply and answered directly, "That is the logic, but jobs aren't Chinese cabbage. They are something you can encounter but not seek; you can only rely on luck."

"If we encounter a suitable one, we will naturally tell you. But let it be clear: we have not promised to arrange a job for you. After all, your sister-in-law's and the two younger sisters-in-law's jobs were not arranged by us. You must understand this point."
