Chapter 211 Yan Bugui’s plan!
Chapter 211 Yan Bugui’s plan!
When the aunties and young wives in the courtyard heard that Director Wang was coming to the courtyard to look for old lady Zhang, they gathered in the backyard to find out what was going on. What these young wives and aunties did not expect was that the street office would actually arrange a job for old lady Zhang.
After packing up, the old lady of the Zhang family followed Director Wang happily and walked towards the street office under the envious gazes of everyone.
The second aunt looked at the old lady of the Zhang family who left with Director Wang, and thought about the fact that the street office arranged a job for the old lady of the Zhang family. She said in a sour tone: "What kind of shit luck did the old lady of the Zhang family have that the street office actually arranged a job for her?"
When the third aunt heard what the second aunt said, she also said with jealousy: "Since our Jie Cheng graduated from junior high school, the street office has not arranged a job for our Jie Cheng, but arranged a job for the old lady of the Zhang family. Do you think this is fair?"
When Auntie One heard what Auntie Two and Auntie Three said, she smiled and said to them, "Auntie Two! Auntie Three! You all know the situation of the Zhang family. The subdistrict office is taking care of the poor family, so they arranged a job for the old lady of the Zhang family."
When Jia Zhang heard the nagging of several aunts and saw the envious expressions of these aunts and young wives in the yard, she couldn't help but think of what Jia Dongming said at home yesterday. Her intuition told Jia Zhang that the sudden job of the old lady of the Zhang family must be related to her eldest son.
Director Wang led the old lady of the Zhang family to his office, and took out the letter of introduction from Jia Dongming from the drawer. He then introduced the letter to the excited old lady of the Zhang family, "Old sister Zhang! Just now in your courtyard, there were so many people talking, so I didn't tell you the truth. Now there is no one here, so I will tell you the truth. This job for you was arranged by Jia Dongming from your courtyard. Director Jia saw that your family is in trouble, so he arranged it for you."
"What? Director Wang! What did you say? My job was arranged for me by the eldest son of the Jia family? Is this true?" When the old lady of the Zhang family heard the news that Director Wang told her, an incredible expression appeared on her face, and she confirmed the news with Director Wang in shock.
When Director Wang heard the old lady Zhang's question and saw her shocked expression, he nodded very affirmatively and replied, "Old lady Zhang! You three, the grandparents and grandchildren, have really met a kind person this time."
"Yesterday, when Director Jia was returning home from get off work, he saw your two children picking up waste at the garbage dump at the entrance of the alley. After Director Jia learned about your family's situation, he arranged a temporary job for you in the security department of the steel rolling mill. Your daily job is to clean the cafeteria and the security department's office building. The monthly salary is 18 yuan."
"When I told you the news in the hospital just now, I believe you also heard what the old Yan family's daughter-in-law said. Director Jia was worried that similar things would happen, so he assigned this job to you through our street office."
Ever since his son and daughter-in-law were killed by bandits, Yi Zhonghai once called on the residents in the courtyard to donate money to the Zhang family. However, the old lady of the Zhang family knew that Yi Zhonghai did this entirely to help the Jia family and to help the Zhang family at the same time, so the old lady of the Zhang family refused the help from the courtyard.
What Mrs. Zhang didn't expect was that when the eldest brother of the Jia family learned about their family's actual situation, he actually arranged a temporary job for her. This made Mrs. Zhang grateful to Jia Dongming from the bottom of her heart, and she quickly thanked Director Wang: "Director Wang! Thank you for telling me this news. When I return to the courtyard, I must thank the eldest brother of the Jia family."
When Director Wang heard what Mrs. Zhang said, he thought of Jia Dongming's intention in making such an arrangement, and hurriedly stopped Mrs. Zhang and said, "Sister Zhang! You must not do this. Once you go to thank Director Jia, you will not be thanking him, but will hurt him instead."
When Mrs. Zhang heard Director Wang's reminder, she thought of what Auntie San had said to Director Wang when she learned that the Street Office had arranged a job for her. She immediately understood what Director Wang meant and secretly thanked him in her heart, "Director Wang! Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I would really repay kindness with enmity and harm the eldest son of the Jia family."
After hearing what Mrs. Zhang said, Director Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to her with a smile, "Sister Zhang! With this letter of introduction, you can report to the security department of the steel mill tomorrow. With this job, you three generations of grandparents and grandchildren will have something to look forward to in the future."
When Mrs. Zhang heard what Director Wang said, she thought that after she had a stable job, her two grandchildren would be able to have enough food and go to school like other children in the courtyard, and she couldn't help but show a look of longing on her face. At around five o'clock in the evening, after Jia Dongming got off work, he packed up his things, rode his bicycle out of the steel mill, and rode towards Tongluoguxiang.
"Uncle! Are you watering the vegetables again?" Jia Dongming pushed his bicycle into the front yard and saw the door god Yan Bugui. He then greeted him with a smile.
Yan Bugui saw Jia Dongming pushing his bicycle into the front yard, and thinking of the news his wife had told him after he got off work, he quickly asked Jia Dongming: "Dongming! I heard that your steel mill is hiring temporary workers during this period. Is this true?"
When Jia Dongming heard what Yan Bugui said, he immediately guessed what was going on and asked in a confused manner, "Uncle San! Who told you this? Why haven't I heard anyone mention this before?"
Yan Bugui heard Jia Dongming's question and saw Jia Dongming's confused expression, so he quickly introduced him to him: "Dongming! Do you know the old lady from the Zhang family in the backyard? Today, the street office arranged a temporary job for her at your steel mill."
When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui mention the old lady of the Zhang family, he pretended to show an expression of sudden enlightenment and replied with a smile: "Uncle! I am in charge of the security department, not the logistics of the steel mill. I really don't know whether the steel mill has recruited people. But the street office allocated the temporary worker quota to the Zhang family. I think it should be to take care of the family in need."
When Yan Bugui heard Jia Dongming's words, he thought of the old lady of the Zhang family, who would be able to earn 18 yuan every month in the future. He showed an envious expression on his face and said, "Dongming! You are right. The Zhang family is indeed in a very difficult situation, but our family is also in a difficult situation. Now Jiecheng and Jiefang are unemployed. Why doesn't the street office take care of our family?"
If the Yan family was really in difficulty, given Yan Bugui's character, he would definitely go to the street office to apply for hardship subsidies. However, the fact that Yan Bugui did not go to the street office to apply for subsidies is enough to show that Yan Bugui's salary is not 28 yuan per month as he said.
When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui's complaint, he wanted to tease Yan Bugui, so he pretended to be indignant and said, "Uncle San! Are you serious? Your family is also in need. If so, I will help you go to the street office tomorrow to find Director Wang and ask her why she didn't take care of your family."
Yan Bugui was shocked when Jia Dongming said that he would help the Yan family to fight for justice at the street office tomorrow. He quickly persuaded Jia Dongming, "Dongming! I appreciate your kindness. Although my family is in financial difficulty, I still have a job as a teacher. I am not like the old lady of the Zhang family who needs to pick up rags to feed her two grandchildren. It is only natural for the street office to take care of the Zhang family."
When Jia Dongming heard Yan Bugui's words and saw Yan Bugui's anxious expression, he suddenly realized something and said, "Oh! So that's what happened."
At this point, Jia Dongming deliberately changed the subject and asked Yan Bugui, "Third Uncle! I heard that your Jie Cheng and Yu Li are divorced. Is this true?"
Yesterday, Yan Bugui blocked Jia Dongming at the gate, hoping that Jia Dongming could help him arrange a job for his child. Today, he asked Jia Dongming in advance about the street office arranging a job for the old lady of the Zhang family, also with the same purpose in mind.
Yan Bugui, who was originally thinking about how to say a few nice words to Jia Dongming and then ask Jia Dongming to help arrange a job for his child, the smile on his face froze instantly when he heard Jia Dongming mention the divorce of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li.
Thinking of the discussions of the neighbors and the expressions of the teachers at school, Yan Bugui said with embarrassment: "Alas! Good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles! What a misfortune for my family!"
