Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Returning from the mountain, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Wang Zhangtian went back to his hometown once to change clothes; clothes worn to dig up a grave generally had to be thrown away because they carried the breath of the dead, which was unlucky.

Zhao Lifen also went back with him, planning to come again in the evening to eat together.

Before Zhao Lifen left, she added a word to Li Xiulan:

"Sister-in-law, remember to mention to Dashan and Erhai about my family's Yaohua."

Li Xiulan was stunned, and could only smile insincerely: "Certainly, certainly."

Actually she was not very willing, but Wang Zhanggen had already promised the other party, so there was no way around it.

She could only reluctantly go and tell Wang Dashan about this matter:

"Dashan, is your company still hiring?"

Li Xiulan asked tactfully.

At this time Wang Dashan was washing his hands and feet at the faucet; hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned:

"Mom, why are you asking this?"

Li Xiulan was too embarrassed to say it directly, fearing Wang Dashan would refuse outright, so she continued asking:

"Just tell me if you're hiring or not."

Wang Dashan was not stupid; he could naturally guess seven or eight out of ten, so he said:

"The company just hired several new employees not long ago; we already have enough people."

Wang Dashan naturally did not want some connection households inserted into his company, especially relatives of his own family, because for such people, if they did a poor job, you couldn't even criticize them; you could only serve them like an ancestor.

"Can't you hire one more? One more person actually isn't much." Li Xiulan said thus.

Wang Dashan said impatiently:

"Mom, don't meddle in my company's affairs, okay?"

Li Xiulan could only force a smile and explain the reason:

"I don't want to meddle either, but your father has already promised your Uncle and Eldest Aunt that he would get Yaohua into your company. Yaohua has been working at the factory all along and ultimately has no future. We're all relatives; giving him a hand is only natural."

Hearing this, Wang Dashan was even more displeased:

"Why didn't you discuss this with me in advance!"

Li Xiulan's face was full of helplessness:

"I actually wanted to discuss it with you first, but your father agreed on his own in a moment. What could I do? I'm not bothering with it anymore; you go tell your father yourself!"

After washing his hands and feet, Wang Dashan turned off the faucet, immediately turned around and quickly walked into the living room. Seeing his old father sitting on the living room sofa smoking, he was immediately furious:

"Dad, how could you make decisions on your own? Whether our company hires people is for me and Second Brother to decide. You didn't say a word to us and just want to shove our cousin in. Isn't this making things difficult for us?"

Wang Zhanggen, however, did not think so and glanced at him:

"What's so difficult? It's just one more employee, isn't it? Besides, that's your cousin; helping him out is only natural!"

Wang Dashan laughed in anger:

"You don't understand anything at all, and you just make decisions on your own!"

Seeing Wang Dashan's attitude, Wang Zhanggen also became angry:

"What kind of attitude is this? I raised you this big, and this is the attitude you show me? If you're really unwilling, then you go tell your Uncle yourself. But I warn you, I've already promised them. If you go back on your word at this time, we might not even be able to remain relatives. You're a grown man; don't be so narrow-minded. It's just hiring Yaohua alone; it's not like you have to support their whole family!"

Wang Zhanggen said these words with great confidence.

It sounded as if the one who was wrong was not him, but someone like Wang Zhanggen.

However, there was one thing he was right about: if Wang Dashan went to Wang Zhangtian at this time and said he was unwilling to hire Wang Yaohua into the company, then this relationship with relatives would probably truly be impossible to maintain.

After all, it was a matter they had already promised. To suddenly go back on their word at this time—wasn't that playing with them? People would only think you were narrow-minded, thought you had no human feeling, and were unwilling to help even a relative. Naturally, they wouldn't give you a good face anymore, and might even go everywhere saying bad things about you.

Wang Dashan knew there was no room for remedy in this matter anymore; in the end, he could only helplessly accept it.

He went to tell Wang Erhai about this matter, and Wang Erhai was also very angry:

"This old thing burned our car, and that wasn't enough; now he wants to ruin our company before he's happy, right!"

Wang Erhai was furious. Ever since the car was burned, he had been holding a grudge in his heart against this old father of his, Wang Zhanggen.

As a result, Wang Zhanggen was pulling this stunt again now, making him even angrier.

"That bastard Wang Yaohua—I see he's just a lazy and gluttonous good-for-nothing. Hiring him in isn't that equivalent to hiring an ancestor to come and be supported?"

At this time Wang Erhai said to Wang Dashan:

"Come on, let's go find Uncle together and tell him directly that our company isn't hiring!"

Wang Dashan, however, forced a smile:

"That's not too good, after all, they're relatives, and not the kind of distant relatives by marriage. That's our Uncle, and Wang Yaohua is our cousin."

Wang Erhai spread his hands:

【55 "Then what do you say we do!"

"Then what do you say we do!"

Wang Dashan sighed:

"Things have come to this; I guess we can only hire him in. If he doesn't do a good job later, we can find a reason to persuade him to quit."

Wang Erhai said coldly:

"Just fear that inviting a god is easy but sending him away is hard."

However, he also knew that if they wanted to avoid making things too stiff with Uncle's family, this great Buddha named Wang Yaohua, they didn't want to take him on, but they had to take him on.

So in the end he said:

"I don't care anymore, you make the decision yourself, just don't blame me if problems arise later."

Shanhai Real Estate is ultimately still Wang Dashan's Shanhai Real Estate, so the final decision-making power rests in Wang Dashan's hands.

Wang Dashan thought for a moment, and ultimately still compromised.

He just thought, he'd recruit his cousin in first, if his cousin worked hard then they'd grow strong and big together, if he didn't work hard then he'd think of a way to make him leave.

In the blink of an eye it was evening, time for dinner.

Wang Zhangtian and Zhao Lifen came over together to eat, because today was the grave-digging day, by custom the whole extended family had to eat together, additionally Wang Zhangtian and Zhao Lifen's hometown firewood room hadn't been used in a long time, and couldn't cook meals either.

These past few days since returning, the couple either went to other villagers' homes to freeload meals, or came to Wang Changgen's home to eat.

"Big Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, regarding Yaohua's matter, I discussed it with Dashan and Erhai this afternoon, they're both very willing to recruit Yaohua in!"

During the meal, Wang Changgen wore a smile on his face, and said to Wang Zhangtian and Zhao Lifen:

Hearing this, Wang Zhangtian immediately broke into a smile:

"That's really wonderful, Dashan, Erhai, Uncle sincerely thanks you two, whether Yaohua can make something of himself all depends on you two now!"

Zhao Lifen then said:

"Although Yaohua is your cousin, if he makes any mistakes in your company, he should still be disciplined when discipline is due, and docked pay when pay should be docked, don't spoil him, he ah, has just been spoiled by us for too long, making it so even now he still isn't sensible, doesn't properly find a partner, doesn't properly work!"

Wang Dashan could only smile politely, saying words against his true feelings:

"Uncle, Eldest Aunt, no need for politeness, we're all relatives, mutually helping each other out is only right."
