Chapter 70: Secretly Do It

It’s so hard to find a job nowadays, it all depends on luck.

With over 200 million yuan in assets in Lin Xiangnan’s space, even if she dropped a few hundred yuan, she wouldn’t bother to look back.

But if any unit posted a recruitment notice, even though she wasn’t afraid of going to the countryside now, she would still go to the front row and take a special look.

Because from a young age, she hadn’t suffered from lack of money, but she had truly suffered from the pain of job hunting.

Money was easy to talk about, but when it came to work, Lin Xiangnan would definitely not compromise.

People have different levels of closeness. If Lin Xiangnan had to choose between her elder brother and younger brother, she would definitely choose her younger brother.

The next morning, the family lined up to brush their teeth by the drainage ditch.

Lin Xiangxi finished brushing his teeth and was about to leave, but Lin Xiangnan reached out and pulled him back.

“What’s wrong, sis? The water in your cup is cold, do you want me to refill it for you?”

“No.” Lin Xiangnan spat out the toothpaste foam, “Go to school and ask for leave later, I’m going to the restaurant with you today.”

“Are you guys going to eat something good again today?” Lin Xiangxi’s eyes lit up, and he said bluntly, “Why ask for leave? Just skip class.”

Anyway, the teachers didn’t really care about them.

Whether to ask for leave or not wasn’t important, what mattered was going to the restaurant. There were many people at home, it wasn’t convenient to talk, so Lin Xiangnan winked at him, “I’ll tell you on the way later.”

Hu Meili was pretending to be sick. Although she felt sorry for the salary, she didn’t go to work and planned to stay at home to persuade Lin Xiangdong.

Lin Xiangxi sat on the back of Lin Xiangnan’s bicycle and asked excitedly, “Sis, what good stuff did you order today? Did you buy the turtle Uncle Fat mentioned last time?”

“No. I’m going to let you take over my job.”

Lin Xiangxi was a little confused, “Why? I won’t graduate until next year?”

“It’s no different if you drop out this year or graduate next year. You might as well take over the shift earlier.”

If Lin Xiangxi was a studious person, Lin Xiangnan would definitely support him in attending junior high, high school, and then taking the college entrance exam.

But Lin Xiangxi was a complete dunce.

This summer, Lin Xiangnan watched him do his homework, and she got so angry that her blood pressure went up.

Usually, Lin Xiangxi was her good little brother, but when she watched him do his homework, Lin Xiangnan even had murderous thoughts.

He wasn’t cut out for it, and she couldn’t force him.

Actually, Lin Xiangxi himself was more willing to work than to go to school.

But the situation at home was too delicate.

“Sis, are you worried that something might happen to the job?”

Knowing that Lin Xiangnan was thinking for him, Lin Xiangxi comforted her, “Mom knows what’s going on, nothing should happen. If I take over your shift early, Big Brother and Mom will definitely feel uncomfortable.”

Especially Hu Meili, his mother.

She had planned everything for her children, but at the crucial moment, her children were guarding against her. She would be angry, no doubt.

“What if, what if something happens, that Sun Xiaod ie is pregnant with our Big Brother’s child, what if our Mom is blinded by her grandson and her mind doesn’t work properly?”

Lin Xiangnan mumbled, “Last night, I heard Sun Xiaod ie asking Mom about the job. What if she uses Big Brother’s organizational relationship to threaten her to exchange for a job? Mom already feels guilty about Big Brother, this is not easy to say.”

Every finger is different in length.

Before she transmigrated, she was the only treasure in her family, so Lin Xiangnan didn’t feel this deeply. But after transmigrating and seeing more, experiencing more, Lin Xiangnan felt that when there were more children in the family, it was very difficult for parents to treat them equally.

Hu Meili had three children, and she loved each one of them, but the amount of love she gave them was definitely different.

Lin Xiangdong was her first child, and he was a son. He had always been her pride. All these years, Lin Xiangdong had been suffering in the countryside.

Hu Meili felt both heartache and guilt towards him.

This year, Lin Xiangnan had to go to the countryside after graduating, and she had to get married and meet her in-laws. There were many things to worry about, and Hu Meili worried about her a lot.

But Lin Xiangnan was self-aware. In Hu Meili’s heart, her position would never surpass Lin Xiangdong’s.

Not to mention Lin Xiangnan, even Lin Xiangxi knew that his elder brother, the eldest son, held a special place in Hu Meili’s heart.

After Lin Xiangnan reminded him, Lin Xiangxi also became nervous.

He was also afraid of going to the countryside.

He could stay in the city steadily, why would he gamble?

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, I’ll go with you to handle the paperwork today.”

Lin Xiangxi said solemnly to Lin Xiangnan, “When we go home, just tell Mom that I pestered you and insisted on you taking me to take over the shift. Anyway, we’re going to get scolded anyway, I’ll take the blame alone.”

Over the past few years, the family had argued countless times about going to the countryside and staying in the city.

Lin Xiangxi wasn’t scared, as long as his job was secured, being scolded a couple of times wouldn’t matter.

Lin Xiangnan sighed, “The job is mine after all, even if you take the blame, Mom will definitely scold me too.”

Lin Xiangxi went to the restaurant every day during the summer vacation to help Lin Xiangnan, and he was even more agile than her.

He was familiar with everyone in the restaurant, so there were no obstacles when he went through the hiring process.

Zhang Dafat and the others gossiped, “You’re just married, and you’re going to join your husband in the army already?”

It was impossible to tell them about the chaos at home, so Lin Xiangnan just made up a plausible excuse.

“Yeah. My husband wants me to prepare first, and I’ll go when he writes me a letter. It just so happens that Xiaoxi doesn’t like studying and skips class every day, Mom is having a headache, so I just let him take over my shift. Anyway, this job will be his sooner or later.”

Colleague Ye Feiyan couldn’t wait to have someone more diligent to replace her.

Only Zhang Dafat was very heartbroken, “Are you really leaving? If you leave, my culinary skills will be useless!”

“I haven’t left yet. Even if I don’t work, I can still come and mooch off you for food.” Lin Xiangnan said with a smile, “But before I leave, you have to teach me a lot.”

Hearing this, Zhang Dafat felt relieved.

At least while Lin Xiangnan was still at home, he could continue to eat good food and drink good wine.

Lin Xiangxi was very familiar with the restaurant’s work procedures.

On his first day of work, he had almost three months of work experience, and he cooperated very well with his colleagues.

Lin Xiangnan had nothing to do after handing over the work to Lin Xiangxi.

But she didn’t want to go back. If she went back alone, she would have to face Hu Meili’s wrath alone. So she stayed until Lin Xiangxi got off work and they rode home together.

Lin Xiangxi didn’t feel anything while working during the day, but when they reached the front door, he started to feel nervous and apprehensive.

“Sis, you just go back to your room and rest, I’ll go find Mom.”

He had taken the benefit, so Lin Xiangxi had the awareness to take the risk alone.

“Come on. I’d be surprised if Mom would let me go.”

Lin Xiangnan put on a thick-skinned attitude, “Let’s go. We’ll get scolded either way, we’ll go together and get scolded a few times, and then we’ll be done with it.”

Lin Xiangxi: “Then I’ll go ahead.”

Lin Xiangnan, “Of course.”
