Chapter 474

"Fine! I've worked hard for most of my life!"

"Only to raise a white-eyed wolf!"

Yan Fugui blew his beard and stared, rarely flying into such a rage.

This scared the whole family so much that they didn't dare to breathe.

It also left Yan Jiecheng speechless.

Because if the abacus were really brought out, one wouldn't even need to calculate to know that Yan Jiecheng used more than he paid.

In terms of material aspects, Yan Jiecheng was indebted to the family.

Yu Li persuaded him gently: "Dad! Yan Jiecheng didn't mean that!"

"You misunderstood him!"

"He didn't mean anything else!"

"He was just complaining about not being full!"

"He speaks without thinking."

"He's just a jerk."

"Don't be angry with him, old man."

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head in shame and admitted his mistake: "Dad, I spoke inappropriately, I was confused, don't hold it against me."

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head to admit his mistake, and Yan Fugui also took the opportunity to step down.

After all, he's his own son!

What else could he do?

Yan Fugui picked up his chopsticks angrily: "As long as you know! The food is cold, everyone eat!"

Hearing Yan Fugui's words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The family ate dinner without speaking.

After cleaning up the housework, Yan Fugui called Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li over.

"You also know the situation at home!"

"There are many people eating, and few people working."

"I also want to let you eat well and be full!"

"Who doesn't want to eat big fish and meat every day!"

"But a clever woman cannot cook without rice!"

"The family's income is only this much!"

"If you want to eat well and be full!"

"Then you have to find a way to increase revenue!"

"Jiecheng, work hard and strive for an early promotion."

"Yu Li, you also have to work hard and find a formal job as soon as possible."

Yan Fugui's reasoning and methods were not wrong, but reality is not about getting what you wish for.

For Yan Jiecheng to be promoted, he needs to learn step by step and constantly accumulate experience.

That's not something that can be done overnight.

Even for Cao Weiguo, if he didn't have his golden finger,

he would probably be honestly burning fire and cooking in the kitchen right now.

For his cooking skills to surpass Shazhu's, who knows how long that would take.

Therefore, for Yan Jiecheng to pass the assessment, it also requires time and energy.

As for Yu Li finding a formal job,

that is even harder than Yan Jiecheng's promotion.

Where do jobs just appear when you want them?

In this era, a formal job is an iron rice bowl.

Even a job sweeping the streets has people lining up to grab it.

Unless it's like Yu Haitang, Cao Weiguo, or Qin Huairu, who were assigned or took over a position.

Otherwise, the effort required to find a job is just a waste.

Although Yu Li has a city household registration, her education seems to be only junior high school.

With such conditions, finding a formal job in the city is truly not easy.

Yu Li said with difficulty: "Dad, I also want to find a formal job, but I've run to the Neighborhood Office dozens of times and there are no openings."

She wants a formal job more than anyone else.

She doesn't want to work herself to death for a low salary either.

But the situation is just like this.

What can a weak woman like her do?

Yan Fugui pushed his glasses: "Go find Cao Weiguo and speak to him nicely."

"After all, we are neighbors who see each other every day."

"You and Song Yulan are good sisters."

"Cao Weiguo is so capable."

"His wife has a rural household registration and a junior high education."

"Wasn't she still gotten into the rolling mill by him."

"Your conditions are much better than Song Yulan's."

"It wouldn't be a big deal for him to help you get a job."

Yu Li sighed with complicated feelings: "Fine, I'll listen to you, I'll find a chance to talk to him."

"But I feel there's little hope; I have no relationship with him, would he be willing to work for nothing?"

"He could get Song Yulan into the rolling mill because they are husband and wife."

"He put in the effort and the benefits fell to their family."

"What benefits could he get from helping me?"

Yan Fugui said unhappily: "Look at how you talk! That's too mercenary!"

"How can you talk about benefits for everything!"

"Isn't it only right to help neighbors and folks!"

"Don't you forget!"

"I am, after all, the Second Uncle of the courtyard!"

"Can't Cao Weiguo give me, this Second Uncle, a little face?"

Yu Li didn't speak, lowering her head and secretly curling her lips.

The Second Uncle only counts for something in the courtyard.

Once outside, who recognizes you as the Second Uncle.

Yan Fugui said again: "Just go find Cao Weiguo for help and say it's my idea."

"For my sake, he'll have to pay more attention."

"When you get the job, don't forget to pay more to the family."

Yu Li felt uncomfortable again upon hearing this.

The job isn't even in sight yet, and he's already thinking about the money.

Back in the room, Yan Jiecheng also started nagging.

Enthusiastically giving Yu Li advice.

And then starting to plan how to use Yu Li's salary.

This made Yu Li furious.

She kicked Yan Jiecheng out of bed again with a bad look.

Sleeping on the floor for over thirty days in a row.

Yan Jiecheng also felt unhappy inside.

Holding his bedding and grumbling.

He couldn't stop wanting to divorce Yu Li.

If it weren't for his parents' pressure,
