Chapter 53 Retirement Money!
Chapter 53 Retirement Money!
"Dongming! Which department do you plan to transfer Huairu to, and how much will her monthly salary be?" Jia Zhang, who was eating meat, suddenly felt her eyes brighten when she heard what Jia Dongming said to Qin Huairu. She even stopped eating the meat and asked Jia Dongming in a hurry.
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question and saw Jia Zhang's money-obsessed look, he explained, "Mom! In order to transfer Huairu to another position, I found Deputy Director Li who is in charge of logistics at the steel mill. After he learned that Huairu was my brother's wife, he arranged a job for Huairu as a logistics warehouse manager. The total monthly salary is 35 yuan."
"Brother Dongming! The job of a logistics warehouse manager is a leisurely and respectable job. Under normal circumstances, it is reserved for people with connections in the factory. Li Huaide really gives you face!" Sha Zhu is the chef of the steel mill. He knows something about the situation in the steel mill. When he learned about Qin Huairu's new position, he couldn't help but speak up.
Jia Zhang didn't care at all whether this job was decent or not. What she cared about was how much salary Qin Huairu could get every month after she changed her job.
When Jia Zhang learned about Qin Huairu's salary, she was overjoyed. She stared at Qin Huairu with burning eyes and said, "Huairu! Dongming has found you a leisurely job this time, and your monthly salary is 8 yuan more."
"Your salary has increased now, and your job is very easy. Shouldn't you increase the pension you give to mom in the future?"
Qin Huairu was so happy when she learned that she was transferred to the logistics warehouse as a warehouse manager. Especially when she heard Sha Zhu say that this position was a clean and decent job, Qin Huairu wanted to go to the factory with Jia Dongming to go through the transfer procedures.
Qin Huairu was not happy for long. Jia Zhang's words made Qin Huairu stunned. She replied unwillingly, "Mom! Then I will give you five dollars a month for your retirement."
When Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu only agreed to give her 5 yuan, she immediately said to Qin Huairu in dissatisfaction: "Qin Huairu! In the past, your monthly salary was 28 yuan. Except for the 5 yuan you gave me for my retirement, the rest of the money was used for household expenses."
"Now that Dongming is back, he is in charge of the comings and goings at home. You don't have to pay for the family anymore. Dongming has also found you an easy job with good pay. You give me 5 yuan a month. Isn't that a little too little?"
"Mom! Let Huairu save her salary from now on. I'll take care of your retirement. Why do you need retirement money?" Jia Dongming was speechless when he saw Jia Zhang's money-grubbing look. Seeing Jia Zhang bargaining with Qin Huairu for retirement money, Jia Dongming couldn't help but persuade Jia Zhang not to ask Qin Huairu for money.
Jia Zhang was a money-grubber. Facing Jia Dongming's persuasion, Jia Zhang not only did not agree, but argued with Jia Dongming, saying: "Dongming! It's not that Mom is greedy for money, but Mom wants to have a guarantee, and Mom also wants to save some money for the betrothal gift for Banggeng."
If Jia Dongming did not have a God's perspective, he would definitely believe what Jia Zhang said. Jia Dongming, who has read many Siheyuan fan fictions, knows clearly that Jia Zhang is not only a money-grubber, but also a Pi Xie, a typical person who only takes in but never gives out.
Faced with Jia Zhang's self-justification, Jia Dongming simply gave up the idea of persuading Jia Zhang and said to her, "Mom! Don't make things difficult for Huairu. From now on, I will give you ten yuan a month, and you don't need to ask Huairu for money anymore." Ever since Jia Zhang learned about Jia Dongming's salary, she began to think about taking advantage of Jia Dongming's salary. Now that Jia Dongming took the initiative to agree to give her ten yuan a month for retirement, Jia Zhang felt extremely happy and quickly confirmed with Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Are you serious? Are you really willing to give mom ten yuan a month for retirement?"
Jia Dongming was speechless when he saw Jia Zhang's greedy look. He said to her, "Mom! Is ten yuan a lot? Don't you think about how much I earn every month?"
"Also, do you know how much I sold the game I hunted today? And don't worry about Banggeng's future marriage. With an uncle like me around, how can Banggeng not have money to marry?"
Jia Zhang didn't listen to Jia Dongming's complaints at all. The only thing she heard was that Jia Dongming sold the prey he brought back from the countryside today for a lot of money. So she asked Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Tell me how much you sold the prey for today."
When Jia Dongming saw Jia Zhang asking about the money for the prey, he immediately felt a tightness in his chest and answered speechlessly, "Mom! I don't know how much the prey was sold for yet. I sold it to Corey for 50 cents per pound, and to the steel mill for 80 cents per pound. The total should be about 1,000 or 2,000 yuan, right?"
"Dongming! What did you say? A total of one or two thousand yuan, this is just your one-day harvest in the countryside. If you go to the countryside to hunt every day, wouldn't you be able to earn tens of thousands of yuan a month?" After Jia Zhang learned the value of the prey, she stood up from the dining table and asked Jia Dongming with shock on her face.
Jia Dongming saw Jia Zhang standing up from the dining table. He gave her a speechless look and replied, "Mom! Do you really think that prey in the mountains is so easy to hunt? You go hunting in the countryside every day! Don't forget that my main job is the security chief of the steel mill."
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's reminder, she remembered Jia Dongming's identity and sat back in her seat, smiling awkwardly, "Dongming! Mom didn't mean that. I just felt that the money was too easy to make."
After hearing Jia Zhang's answer, Jia Dongming ignored her and picked up his wine glass and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself!"
When Sha Zhu learned that Jia Dongming went to the countryside to hunt and earned one or two thousand yuan a day, he was so envious that he even thought that when he had a day off that day, he would also try his luck in the countryside to see if he could also bring back some prey and then sell it to the steel mill to make some money.
When Sha Zhu heard what Jia Dongming said and saw the wine glass that Jia Dongming raised, he finally came to his senses. He quickly raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Jia Dongming with a smile: "Brother Dongming! Not to mention Aunt Zhang, even I, after hearing what you said just now, also want to try my luck in the countryside."
