Chapter 834 Arrange a Maid for the Old Brother
After breakfast, Chen Feng was about to send Chen Li to school. At this time, he saw Qin Jingru crying and running to their yard with tears in her eyes.
"Old man, you have to make the decision for me!"
The old man was listening to the radio and basking in the sun. Hearing what she said, he looked up at her. He immediately knew what was going on and felt a little depressed.
Having a high seniority and great prestige can also be difficult.
That is, without the three uncles, some trivial disputes next door could easily be brought to him.
"Who bullied you?"
Chen Feng, who was originally preparing to go out, was no longer in a hurry. There was still time anyway. Chen Li sat on the stool on the horizontal bar, shaking her calves and pricking up her ears, with an expression that said, "I want to watch the fun."
Qin Jingru complained in detail about her cousin's treasonous behavior.
After seeing the scenery of the old city, who would be willing to go back to the poor countryside!
Just like people in later generations, who can truly break away from the entertainment of smartphones?
"It's hard for a judge to judge family affairs. I can't say much about this kind of thing. If you don't want to, you can only go and talk to her."
Qin Jingru's eyes were filled with tears. She said aggrievedly, "I begged her, but she said that I used to take care of them, and she gave them housing and food. Now she doesn't need me. If I want to live here and eat her food, I have to pay for the rent and food."
“That makes sense!”
Chen Feng smiled and interrupted, "What's yours is yours, and what's hers is hers. You live and eat at the Jia family, so it's only right that you give me some money in the future."
"Of course, we are all relatives, so we can't be too harsh. Giving a 50% discount is both mutually beneficial and in line with our relationship status."
Poor relatives bankrupting the people in the city are not uncommon in this era.
Most of the relatives and friends in the city are still very friendly. After all, China has its own national conditions.
But you have to admit that this behavior of actually using blood ties to get free food and lodging is almost like a blood-sucking worm clinging to relatives. It will not only destroy everyone's relationship, but also lead to the birth of relative-eating worms.
Because it is very difficult for these relatives who have moved to the city to rely on the city to find jobs (so many young people have gone to the countryside, there are no job opportunities for farmers at all).
Some people with a conscience would pick up scraps, go fishing and hunting as a subsidy.
But there are some people who have no conscience and are used to it, and that is the most terrifying and the most hurtful.
Qin Jingru cried even harder.
"She wants three dollars for rent and five dollars for food. How can I afford that much money?"
The price is not expensive, but considering the Jia family’s housing environment and food standards, it is indeed high.
At Zheng Erniu's place, a solid sesame pancake costs only three cents, three pancakes a day, plus a bowl of soup, which is only ten cents, and a bowl of two taels of plain noodles, which is only fifteen cents. In a month, it's only four dollars and fifty cents!
"Let's talk about it. I'll give you four dollars a month." Chen Feng continued.
It is not appropriate for the old man to say this, as he is just at the right age. Even if he said something wrong, it is only because he is young.
"Four dollars is too much!" Qin Jingru said with a sad face.
Chen Feng stopped talking.
Four dollars is not a lot, but it is not a little either.
But he remembered that Qin Jingru made clothes, socks and shoes for Sha Zhu's family and received a lot of wages. Seeing this, Xu Damao also entrusted this job to her.
"Jingru, this is a matter between you and your sisters. It's hard for outsiders to talk about it."
The old man evaded the question by saying, "If you put it badly, it will alienate the relationship between you two sisters."
Qin Jingru suddenly said, "Grandpa, you have so many houses, can you rent one to me? I'm willing to pay three dollars for the rent."
The old man, Chen Feng, and Zhou Qing were speechless.
They are a family living here happily, so how can they let an outsider squeeze in? It’s okay for children, but not for adults. Didn’t you see that Zhang Haixiong lives next door?
"It's a bit late. There is no vacant house in my house now." Chen Feng said tactfully: "My uncle's house is now occupied by my three younger brothers. Even my sister and I are squeezed in together."
"Yeah, I don't even have my own house!" Chen Li said seriously, "Our house is too small, unlike Xiao Ling'er's house, which is so big and has many houses."
Qin Jingru couldn't tell whether what the brother and sister said was true or false.
It was indeed the case when Chen Hao and his three little ones were huddled together.
It was because she saw Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi living and eating here that she became interested.
"Hehe!" Chen Li and Qin Jingru looked at each other, and the little girl pretended to smile foolishly.
The little foodie didn’t know anything else, but whenever Fatty and Brother Bayi came to their house, they would share the delicious food from the big pot. In the past, it was just her and Chen Hao, a sibling, but now there are four of them.
This clever girl is extremely sensitive and shrewd in this regard, so how could she agree to another one!
Although Qin Jingru didn't dare to have this idea, it was not that she didn't want to, but that she didn't dare.
What is her status and position?
Fatty Wang’s grandfather is the deputy director of the branch, and his father is the team leader. Hu Bayi’s father is not bad either, and his mother is not simple either.
It would be strange if it didn't have any thoughts!
Chen Feng went hunting in the mountains and fishing in the lake. Many people were jealous and envious of him. They were jealous of his harvest and envious of his food.
Tao Song and the Chengdong Branch received a lot of letters of complaint!
But everyone who knows the inside story knows that there is nothing to report here. The man is honest and innocent. He did not steal or rob, and he did not buy low and sell high.
They either eat it themselves or sell it to state-owned enterprises and departments. It's not illegal, so what's the point of your reporting?
Believe it or not, as soon as you arrest someone, the purchasing directors and logistics directors of those companies will call your boss to protest!
Everyone is jealous of the high-income group, and everyone wants to become a member of the high-income group!
It is very normal for Qin Jingru to desire to become a member of the Chen family!
Not being envious or longing for anything is a rare state of mind!
"Sorry to bother you." Qin Jingru looked a little embarrassed and said goodbye to them with difficulty.
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "What if? I mean what if. I have a few friends who are all single and not married yet. But they already have a permanent residence in Beijing and a job. However, their job is not very good. They work at a garbage station."
"But you still make 18 yuan a month, have a stable job, and have other benefits. If you're willing, I can help you set up a match and ask for their opinions. If you find someone you like, you can stay in the dormitory over at the garbage station first. When you turn 18, you can get married."
"It doesn't matter if you don't like it. You can work there part-time and be responsible for washing clothes and cooking for them. You can probably earn a few dollars a month. As for housing, you can ask their station manager to arrange a back house for you at the local street office. It's not difficult!"
The old man frowned slightly. Those old brothers and nephews who were guarding the garbage station, acting as message messengers and backup personnel for him were not suitable for outsiders to enter.
But when I think about it, I do think it's possible.
Qin Jingru is not a very smart person, and her cleverness is very forced.
Simply put, she's not very smart, just be careful and don't worry about her knowing things she shouldn't know!
And she has one advantage, which is that she listens to her husband.
Another reason is that she came from a rural background, was good at housework, and was serious about her work. The baby items she made for Sha Zhu and Xu Damao's family were all very good.
The group of men at the garbage station really need a daughter-in-law or sister-in-law to help with the housework.
We can't ask Chen Feng to improve their meals every time, otherwise they will have either porridge with pickles or batter with cooked vegetables, not to mention their dormitories!
Qin Jingru was stunned at first, then she was overjoyed.
"I am willing!"
She looked down on the employees at the garbage station, but could accept temporary workers at the garbage station because they had free housing and jobs.
The back house is indeed small, but it is still a house, and is not worse than the Jia family’s house.
At least it's her personal private space.
