Chapter 101 The Capable Second Cousin
Xiao Fen glanced at Xu Sui and said, "If that's the case, it's really not a big deal. The problem is that if our cousin decides to stay at our house, we'll have to make room for her to eat and drink."
"Our family already has enough people. Adding one more person would be more than just adding another pair of chopsticks."
No family is wealthy, and no family has extra living space. Taking in someone is not such a simple matter.
"Sui Sui, when you go inside later, if that mother and daughter have this plan, we have to stand together and fight them head-on."
This house is already cramped enough; there's not even room to put your feet down.
She doesn't want anyone else to move in.
Xu Sui thought about it and realized it was indeed possible. She pursed her lips and said, "I'll go in and check the situation first."
We'll see when the time comes.
Just as she finished speaking and was about to go inside, Xiao Fen stopped her again, asking curiously.
"By the way, you've been going out a lot these past few days, is something the matter?"
Her intuition told her that the old lady definitely knew something, but she wasn't telling her.
Xu Sui paused, "It's nothing, I just have some things to take care of."
"What's wrong? Tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone else."
Xiao Fen couldn't help but become curious. The old lady had also noticed that Xu Sui was acting strangely these past few days, but she hadn't said a word, which wasn't like her at all.
Xu Sui thought about it and decided not to keep it a secret any longer. After all, her job was already settled and her onboarding procedures were completed. She was just waiting to start work in half a month.
"I went to find a job and just completed the onboarding process today."
"What? A job? You have a job?" Xiao Fen's eyes widened in surprise. She thought she had misheard and couldn't help but shout it out.
That shout was quite something.
The commotion drew the attention of the women who were talking inside the Qin family's house.
The other households in the same courtyard couldn't help but come out to see what was going on.
When it comes to work, it's about having a secure job, not something you can easily get.
Grandma Liu from next door came out to empty a basin of water and overheard their conversation. Forget about emptying the dirty water in the basin, she immediately came over.
"Sui Sui, you found a job! Where do you work? Is it at the textile factory with your mom and the others?"
Xu Sui is the son of a textile factory worker. Whenever the factory has recruitment information, they will consider the children of their own employees first, so it is easier for them to get into the textile factory.
The same applies to other organizations; they prioritize their own family members, and only then consider others with urban residency.
As for people from the countryside who want to find a job in the city, it is almost impossible without a certain level of education and a letter of recommendation.
Inside the Qin family's house.
Grandma Qin and Tian Hua also heard the commotion and came out, quickly walking towards Xu Sui and surrounding her.
"Sui Sui, when did this happen? Which company is it? I haven't heard anything about the textile factory hiring lately."
Hao Lihong, who was standing next to the old lady, looked Xu Sui up and down. When her eyes fell on Xu Sui’s fair and delicate face, she couldn’t help but be surprised.
These days, famines have even caused many deaths.
In the countryside, everyone was starving and emaciated, skin and bones. Even young girls had sallow, dull skin.
Where else can you find a niece-in-law with such fair and radiant skin?
The food in the city is really good for people.
Faced with everyone's curiosity, Xu Sui said, "It's not a textile factory, it's a grain depot."
When she came out of the textile factory interview, she already guessed the result, so she didn't go to see it today.
"The grain station? Did I hear that right, Sui Sui? You...you said you got a job at the grain station?"
Not only was Tian Hua shocked, but everyone else present was also in no better shape, not to mention Hao Lihong and her daughter who had just come to the city from the countryside.
That's a grain depot.
In this day and age, any organization that is even remotely related to food is no ordinary organization.
Forget about passing the exam; without connections, you might not even know when they're hiring.
Xu Sui nodded. "Yes, it's the grain station. I just completed the onboarding procedures today and will officially start work in half a month."
This time, I also owe a lot to the recommendation letter written by Mr. and Mrs. Hong Tao, as well as the job information they provided.
Otherwise, someone like her with no connections wouldn't have been able to get in.
Of course, she was well aware that they were helping her because of Qin Yunzhou.
"No wonder Sui Sui has been going out these past few days. She went to take a job recruitment exam. Why didn't she tell the family?"
Xiao Fen felt a pang of bitterness. The Qin family now only had two daughters-in-law. Although it wasn't her fault that she couldn't get pregnant, why was it so easy for Xu Sui to find a job?
She had heard about it.
During the time Xu Sui was in the army, it wasn't just for her to get married; she passed the entrance exam for the army's cultural troupe and started working there properly.
He recently left the performing arts troupe and then quickly passed the exam to work at the grain station.
Grandma Qin thought Xu Sui might get into the textile factory, but she never expected her granddaughter-in-law to be so ambitious and get into the grain station in one go.
If this news spreads throughout the compound, it'll probably cause quite a stir, since no one in the compound has ever heard of a wife who's so capable.
The old lady's gaze towards Xu Sui changed.
Who says this girl only knows how to seduce men? You have to be strong yourself to succeed. The fact that she was able to get into a place like the grain station shows that Xu Sui's brain has never been used for just seducing men.
No wonder Xiao Shu liked Xu Sui so much before.
Who would have thought that one day, even an old woman like her could be so mistaken.
Grandma Qin sighed twice, then became excited again. She quickly stepped forward, took Xu Sui's hand, and patted it affectionately, saying, "Our Sui Sui is so amazing; she even managed to get into such a good company."
"In the entire compound, no one's daughter-in-law is more capable than our Sui Sui. She really brings honor to the Qin family."
This is a truly secure job, even better than factory workers. I heard that female employees at the grain depot receive a half-pound of brown sugar coupons as a benefit after giving birth, along with milk powder coupons and so on.
Ordinary workers don't have access to such good things.
The other neighbors living in the same courtyard were also startled when they heard it was a grain station.
After confirming the truth of the matter, he became even more enthusiastic in his speech, looking at Xu Sui with exceptional eagerness, praising her incessantly, almost showering her with compliments.
among the crowd.
Du Mei, who came from the countryside, looked on with envy at Xu Sui, who was surrounded by people praising her enthusiastically. A hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
From the first moment she saw her second cousin-in-law, she was stunned by the woman's beauty.
More than her beauty, her second cousin's current job made her envious.
That's a grain depot.
The place in charge of grain.
Once we get to that place, will we no longer have to go hungry?
Hao Hongli hadn't expected her niece-in-law, Xu Sui, to be so capable. She quickly pulled her daughter, Du Mei, in front of Xu Sui and smiled warmly.
"Sui Sui, this is your cousin, Xiao Mei."
"She really wanted to meet you, her second cousin-in-law. When she came from the countryside, she kept talking about wanting to see you in person. Now she finally got to meet you."
"Xiaomei, quickly greet your second cousin's wife."
