Chapter 6

Lu Qiao continued righteously: "Zhao Qing made Sun Qin leave with nothing and didn't even want his daughter. Duan Xiaoxiang broke up her sister-in-law's family. They all said it was the old lady who forced them.

Now it seems, was it really forced by Old Lady Zhao, or were they ganging up to bully Sun Qin?

For such a Zhao Qing and such a Duan Xiaoxiang, why should I leave them face? Does Sun Qin not deserve face, does she not deserve justice in front of everyone?"

Not far away, Sun Qin, who was worried about Lu Qiao, originally wanted to come to apologize to Lu Qiao, but she happened to hear these words.

She covered her mouth, and tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

And Huang Juan had already pulled Lu Qiao to continue walking forward, her expression extremely complex.

Such a Lu Qiao made her feel strange, but also happy for Meng Xia. It should be that the incident of falling into the water stimulated her to become sensible and reasonable.

Lu Qiao's eyes turned slightly. After walking for a while, she stopped and thanked her sincerely: "Aunt Huang, thank you for the opportunity you gave me. The matter wasn't done well, and I caused you trouble. I'm sorry."

Afterward, she added: "Although Duan Xiaoxiang is dissatisfied and says I won't be able to enter the neighborhood office in my life, I don't regret finding a place for Sun Qin to stay."

Huang Juan was stunned, then pointed at Lu Qiao, smiled at her, and said: "You girl, you go home first, I'll go to the neighborhood office."

Lu Qiao agreed obediently.

The tabby cat darted out from the grass by the roadside and meowed at Lu Qiao a few times.

【Duan Xiaoxiang is arguing with Old Lady Zhao because no one is cooking dinner for them anymore.】

Lu Qiao picked up the tabby cat and stroked it a few times. The tabby cat purred comfortably.

Sun Qin's cooking was good and she was diligent. Now that she had moved away, those two would have a hard time.

Lu Qiao remembered one thing and said: "Don't eat the two rats at the Zhao house. The information they provided today is very useful."

The tabby cat looked up at Lu Qiao.

It went to the Zhao house today and happened to run into those two rats. Its instinct was to catch and eat them, but it held back. When it wanted to ask questions, it found that besides preparing to run away and shivering, it couldn't understand anything the other side said.

But when Lu Qiao arrived at the Zhao house, it could suddenly communicate with those two rats.

It was magical. One of the rats actually called it "Cat Master."

The tabby cat raised its head triumphantly: 【Okay, I won't catch the Zhao family's rats.】

Afterward, it talked about its discovery.

Lu Qiao narrowed her eyes. Cats and mice were different species, but it was likely that because they were within her approachable range, they unlocked each other's languages?

It should be!

Lu Qiao patted its head: "I won't close the window behind my room. You can come in whenever you want. But you are not allowed to catch rats and bring them in to eat."

The tabby cat nodded hurriedly.

Lu Qiao let go and let it go play first. She glanced at the direction of the neighborhood office, then turned and walked toward home.

The Lu family was all there.

The eldest brother was saying he would find an opportunity to beat up Liang Aishu, but was scolded by Meng Xia, who told him not to cause trouble at this time.

However, Meng Xia was a bit restless; she had also heard about today's events.

Her second daughter had actually found a job for Sun Qin.

She felt sour in her heart.

You have to know that the Lu family now only had Lu Da as a formal worker.

And although the eldest son was a temporary worker in the transport team, because there was no employment quota, not only did he not enjoy labor insurance benefits, but his monthly salary was only eleven yuan. Because his salary list wasn't at the transport team but at the neighborhood office, he also had to pay management fees to the neighborhood office every month.

Temporary workers in this era couldn't be found casually; the unit had to have a quota.

So this kind of temporary worker without a quota was simply unstable; who knows when they would be dismissed.

The couple were both registered as rural residents. Now it was a planned economy, and food was supplied per capita, so every month the family's food wasn't enough and they had to go out to borrow.

She was now a housewife, relying on pasting paper boxes to subsidize the family.

The place where the third daughter was sent to the countryside was in her hometown. Although she had her mother-in-law to take care of her, she had to send living expenses every month.

The only thing to be glad about was that Lu Da was a seventh-grade worker and his salary was high, so the family didn't starve to death, but Lu Da was stubborn. Although he was an old worker with seniority, he refused to find leaders to go through the back door to arrange jobs for his children. Plus, his youngest son was weak and often needed medicine and injections, so life became poorer and poorer.

Compared to other families, none of the four children had any prospects.

Meng Xia was even less willing to think about how much money her family owed, but just now she had to calculate it, and it was almost three hundred yuan.

She felt she would never be able to pay it back in this lifetime.

Although Meng Xia didn't like her eldest daughter-in-law, Su Hui, she also hoped she could have a formal job.

The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt, so she complained to Lu Da: "Your fourth child is also not a good thing; he didn't even tell me about this good thing. Regardless of whether it works or not, let Su Hui try. Isn't it just cooking? Su Hui's cooking skills are also good, definitely not worse than Sun Qin's."

Su Hui, who was cooking, gripped the rice spoon in her hand tightly. After a few breaths, she still sighed helplessly.

She knew in her heart that even if she went, it wouldn't work.

Lu Da was sitting under the tree to cool off. Hearing this, he frowned and said: "That's the Military Research Institute, the vetting is very strict. Don't you know what your eldest daughter-in-law's background is?"

Meng Xia retorted unhappily: "Is Sun Qin okay?"

Just then, Lu Qiao pushed the door and entered. Hearing this, she said: "Mom, Sun Qin is definitely okay, because she was once a technician's wife, and the organization has vetted her I don't know how many times."

Lu Qiao looked at her eldest sister-in-law, Su Hui, again. Sujiatun was once the ancestral property of Su Hui's family, from which one could know the background of Su Hui's family.

Fortunately, by the generation of Su Hui's father, the ancestral property had been ruined by him.

Su Hui had always been cautious at home, mainly because Meng Xia had a bad temper and loved to get angry. She didn't want to cause conflict because of a non-existent job, so she hurriedly said softly: "Dinner is ready, let's eat."

At the same time, at the neighborhood office, Old Hu also said: "Now only Lu Qiao has completed the task, so let's study here today. We should also get off work and go home to eat."

Ren Xiaocui: "I think there's no need to study. When the time comes, we'll look at the satisfaction of the follow-up visit. Whoever does the best stays!"

Huang Juan's eyes flickered, and she smiled: "If you say that, Lu Qiao is out of luck. You don't know, Duan Xiaoxiang said she was very dissatisfied and even said Lu Qiao shouldn't even think about entering the neighborhood office in her life."

Director Hu frowned: "Whether it works or not is not up to Duan Xiaoxiang."

"But she is the person involved. She is dissatisfied that Qiao found a formal job for Sun Qin. It would be a miracle if she gave Qiao praise."

Huang Juan said while tidying up the things on the table, stood up, and walked out.

The others felt that these words didn't sound very comfortable.

Clearly, Duan Xiaoxiang's character was bad; how could she be qualified to comment?

Ren Xiaocui looked at Huang Juan and felt she said it on purpose.

Director Hu also stood up and said: "Although Lu Qiao is impulsive in her work, her brain is truly active, and her observation is strong. How about this, Old Huang, you go notify Lu Qiao and see if she can solve the exam question about Old Chen's son."

Ren Xiaocui widened her eyes: "Qiao is a girl; it's not appropriate for you to let her go solve the matter of the Yao family, right?"
