The old lady is reborn

When Huanqing's father-in-law heard this, he almost immediately thought that his son had gone gambling again. The two sets of gold jewelry must be lost.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up and walked out. The waiter hurriedly stopped him and said, "You haven't paid for these two bowls of noodles yet?"

After paying for the noodles and leaving the store, he looked everywhere for his son, but couldn't find him, so he returned home in frustration.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he heard his wife and daughter crying and scolding. As expected, his son did not change his bad habits and went to gamble again. As expected, there was no good luck at all, and the two sets of gold jewelry were gone again.

On the other hand, Huanxi received two sets of gold ornaments.

At first, Huanxi received her mother's letter and was worried about her family's affairs. Miss Yan saw this, so she simply told her everything.

The young lady personally selected a few people to help her, among whom was the young manager of a shop of the Yan family. This young manager was considered the leader of the team this time.

He was delighted for a long time, and was very happy to see Huanxi taking back his parents' gold jewelry. He couldn't help but say, "My parents and I have also prepared some for my future daughter-in-law... I want to give them to you... Are you willing?"

Huanxi thought it was just idle chat at first, but when she understood what was happening later, her face turned red all the way to her ears.

But the young shopkeeper mustered up the courage to ask this time, and he was determined to get an answer.

Seeing Huanxi getting up and trying to leave, he subconsciously chased after her and asked, "Are you happy with this?"

Huanxi turned back: "What's my name?"

This time it was the young shopkeeper who was stunned: "Happy."

Huanxi blushed and whispered, "That's also my answer." Then she turned and left.

The young shopkeeper understood and was overjoyed. He shouted in delight, "I'll ask my parents to propose marriage when I get home."

.........

At Huanqing's house, after hearing that the jewelry was really gone and lost by his brother-in-law in a bet, Huanqing asked his wife after a long while: "Did you give it to him? Did you want to sell it?"

The wife said, "Are you blaming me? The things you gave me are mine, and I can do with them as I please. You can't blame me!"

...It's mine, I can do with it what I want...

The celebrating heart did not turn cold at this moment, but it finally turned cold at this moment.

I promised my sister Huanxi that if the gold jewelry could not be saved, I would quietly sell the house, so I sold it.

Huanqing went out early the next morning with the documents and the house deed.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law were unaware of this and were still wondering what to do now. Now five adults and two children were crowded in this small house.

I sleep on the floor at night and can't even turn over during the day. It will be even more difficult when the two children grow up.

As luck would have it, when they were at home wondering what to do, a man came to their door with a gift.

The man asked carefully and politely, "Is this Huanqing's house?" Seeing that the man was well-dressed, the father-in-law invited him in.

This person came in, put down the two boxes of tea as gifts in his hand, chatted for a while, and talked about this and that. This person quickly realized that this family was celebrating with food, drinks and other things, but did not care about the gains and losses of the celebration.

They seemed to be very short of money now...so the man told them the purpose of his visit.

Huanqing’s current job is a position in the official granary. Although he is not really an official, he is commonly known as a “grain officer” among the people.

In fact, the work done is probably to collect grain, grade, weigh, register, store, transport, turn over and dry it, prevent fire and insects, transfer and distribute it according to orders, etc. every year. This job is not easy, and the responsibility is great if something goes wrong, but it is lucrative on weekdays.

Although Huanqing's job was only a minor one, it was enough for him to support a large family of idle people. If he did not have to support his brother-in-law, a gambler with an ever-increasing appetite, Huanqing would not have to take on a part-time job.

But it is obvious that even if an ordinary person has a good job and a part-time job, he cannot afford to support a gambler.

The man who came to the door had a cousin whose family was wealthy and wanted to find a good job for his cousin, so he set his eyes on the grain officer.

The result of going up and down is that the people above have given the order, and now there is only one position for each person. If you can persuade someone below to quit the job voluntarily, then the vacancy will be given to your cousin.

The man was paid to do something for others. He asked for a list and planned to visit each household. He didn't mention the first two households, but after they sat down and talked, it was obvious that he valued this job.

But the situation in Huanqing's family seemed to provide a loophole to exploit.

So this man did not hesitate and directly reported an attractive amount of money. If Huanqing was willing to give up the carrot pit, the money would be his.

After selling the celebration job, the father-in-law and his family easily reached a consensus and persuaded him to give the money to their family.

Maybe it is not enough to buy two more houses, but it is enough to rent two small houses for ten or eight years.

The wife was a little hesitant. What would she do with her daily expenses if her husband lost his job?

My mother-in-law said, "Can't he do odd jobs or part-time jobs? If he finds a job with accommodation, we can live together as a family, wouldn't that be better?"

The father-in-law reminded him, "Have you forgotten how he got this job? His parents are also the saviors of others. If his son loses his job, the worst that can happen is that he can ask his mother-in-law to ask for help again."

Many years ago, Concubine Du, who was the most favored concubine in the harem, accepted money from others and said something casually, and the emperor at that time exempted Concubine Du's hometown from taxes.

Someone tried to dissuade them, asking where the deficit would be made up? Concubine Du pointed at the territory map in the imperial study, and double the tax fell on the hometown of Huanqing's parents.

At that time, Huanqing's parents were still young, almost half-grown children, and they lived in the same village. Because of the heavy and sudden grain tax, local people attacked the granary, and some grain officials guarding the granary were dragged out and beaten by the angry people.

There were also grain officials running around to celebrate for their parents. Two half-grown children, out of simple instinct, hid and protected a grain official during the three-day fight of blood and fire.

Many, many years later, when their son Huanqing was looking for a job, this kindness was returned to Huanqing.

Now my father-in-law, mother-in-law, wife and brother-in-law have promised the visitor with confidence: Huanqing will definitely give up the job!
