Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 287 The 6s' "Brother-Supporting Demon" (Part 4)

At dinner time, Qingmo took out the food she had gotten from the factory at noon, but she didn't eat any of it.

After all, she really couldn't endure any of that hardship.

Everyone was surprised when they saw the food in the box.

They all know that Mom usually eats very little at noon, but she never shares what she saves with them. What's wrong with her now?

Has the sun risen in the west? Has Mom woken up? Finally, she's stopped giving subsidies to Uncle's family?

It seems unlikely that someone who has been confused for decades could suddenly become clear-headed.

"What are you looking at? Eat! And don't serve me so much porridge in the future. I can't finish it. Leave it for the children."

"what?"

Xiao Nian was so startled that he almost dropped the bowl. Luckily, he caught it in time; otherwise, he would have been heartbroken if the porridge had fallen.

"What do you mean? Does my word not carry weight?"

"It works, it works, Mother, your word is the most effective, but you still need to eat your fill."

Hearing his mother say such things in her lifetime, Da Nian, as the eldest son, couldn't help but tear up.

He didn't expect his mother to be frugal and save everything for them. He would be content as long as his mother cared about them and didn't only think about his uncle's family.

"Alright, stop being sentimental with me. I'm too old to work anymore, and I'm going to give up my job at the factory."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Nian stood up abruptly, her face contorted with emotion. "Mom, think about our family! If you lose your job, how are we supposed to survive? Are you trying to force us to die?"

“Which of your uncles’ families doesn’t have better food and clothes than us? You still want to give them jobs. Don’t you think about your sons at all? We are your sons too.”

As he was talking, Xiao Nian started crying. This grown man was shedding tears like they were free, not caring about his image in the children's eyes.

After all, if they really gave up their job, it would undoubtedly make things worse for their already difficult family situation.

Da Nian looked at her with disappointment. The warmth that had just ignited in his heart vanished instantly. The two daughters-in-law just silently shed tears and did not say a word.

The children were too young to understand what the adults were saying, and seeing this, they simply huddled in their mother's arms.

Only Lingling, who was six years old, was old enough to understand things and could comprehend what the adults were saying. She stared at Qingmo with hatred in her eyes, and the hatred in her eyes was unmistakable.

Qingmo's lips twitched; this...

She hadn't even finished speaking when they got so excited. Look at their youngest son, crying his eyes out. He's so stupid.

What's up with this?

"Shut up, stop wailing, I'm not dead yet."

"When did I ever say I was going to give the job to your uncle's family? I only said one sentence, and you all started acting like this. I'm speechless."

Da Nian: "Mom, where did you drink? How did you get drunk? How much did you drink?"

She rolled her eyes speechlessly. As expected, he wasn't her biological son; he was just like the original owner of that brainless person.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm prepared to give up my job. You guys discuss it and decide whether to let Jinhua or Hongye go."

"Really?"

"Really?"

The elders spoke in unison, as if afraid they had misheard.

"Well, there's only one job. Who do you think should do it? And they have to give me 15 yuan of their monthly salary."

"And you guys, after the Lunar New Year, give me 10 yuan a month for your wages, and keep the rest for yourselves."

"Whoever stays home to take care of the children and cooks will receive a subsidy of 10 yuan from another household to cover living expenses."

Upon hearing these words, everyone's expression changed, especially the two daughters-in-law.

My mother-in-law earns 35 yuan a month. I give her 15 yuan, then hand over 10 yuan, and she still has 10 yuan left in her pocket each month.

Even if the starting salary isn't as high as my mother-in-law's, it's okay. The important thing is to have a job. In this day and age, a job is a golden opportunity.

And now I'll have more confidence, and I'll have money in my pocket.

Unlike now, where the mother-in-law is in charge at home and the man has to hand over his entire salary to her, their families have no savings at all.

Even the money to buy a piece of cloth to make clothes had to be asked from her mother-in-law, who, being stingy, would naturally refuse to give it to her.

Now that the mother-in-law is willing to give up her job, the two daughters-in-law are naturally happy. However, everyone wants an opportunity, but there is only one job.

Jin Hua and Hong Ye exchanged a glance and remained silent. Neither of them was generous enough to offer to give way.

Neither the eldest nor the youngest New Year spoke to each other at this point; everyone has their own selfish motives, which is normal.

Seeing the stalemate, Qingmo sneered, "What, nobody's saying anything? Don't you want it anymore?"

"No, Mother, why don't you make the decision? We'll be happy no matter who you give the job to."

Da Nian spoke first. As the eldest brother, it was really not good for him to argue with his younger brother. If he didn't argue, his wife would definitely get scolded again when she went back to her room. It would be better to give the decision-making power to his mother. Anyway, no matter who it was given to, it wouldn't benefit an outsider in the end.

“Yes, I agree with what my elder brother said. Mother, you should make the decision.” Xiao Nian echoed.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Qingmo thought for a moment and went to the kitchen to get two small wooden sticks.

"Jinhua, you can draw your own numbers. The one who draws the long number goes to the factory, and the one who draws the short number stays at home to do housework. It all depends on luck, so you won't say that I, this old woman, am being biased."

"Those who stay at home, don't be resentful. We'll give you 10 yuan a month, plus 10 yuan for your own household expenses, which is equivalent to 20 yuan in the public account every month. It's just for your household food, drink, and other basic needs. Any leftovers are yours to keep. We'll discuss reimbursement for any major expenses."

“If you are capable, you can find jobs yourselves, but I will not help you take care of the children. I am old and just want to enjoy my retirement.”

The group nodded in agreement, since it was a matter of luck and there was nothing more to say.

"Come on, have a smoke."

Looking at the small wooden stick held in her mother-in-law's hand, both daughters-in-law were extremely nervous, afraid that they would draw the short one.

However, being the eldest sister-in-law, Jin Hua was the first to smoke.

Unfortunately, Jin Hua drew the shorter one.

A hint of joy flashed across Hongye's face, but she still looked at her sister-in-law with a little embarrassment.

Seeing her embarrassment, Jinhua smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm happy for you that you can go to work in the factory."

Although Jin Hua said that, she was still a little disappointed.

But she quickly adjusted her emotions. No matter what, she couldn't show it, otherwise the two sisters-in-law would have a hard time getting along in the future.

Seeing that her sister-in-law was alright, Hongye was also very excited. She secretly vowed that she would work hard at the factory and not let her mother-in-law down.

With the matter resolved, everyone was happy, including Qingmo. Tomorrow, she will take her second son's wife to take over the job.

She didn't want to go to that lousy class even once more.

Noticing a gaze fixed on her, Qingmo looked up.

Lingling immediately lowered her head, avoiding eye contact, and stood behind her eldest daughter-in-law, pretending nothing had happened.

Qingmo raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.
