Chapter 24
Zhu Yanshu inquired about the news of the Ma family from Mrs. Jin. Mrs. Jin had long forgotten about this pair of father and son, really busy with family matters.
However, when it comes to Ma Gui, Mrs. Jin is still furious, thinking that he has failed the Jin family for so many years to treat his family’s kindness.
Mrs. Jin: “The master paid to send his son to college, Wan Chuan has been saying good things about his son. The result …… hum! If he is not sloppy, how will Julie lose!”
Mrs. Jin so hate people, of course, will not stay in the Jin family again. Even Ma Tianbao’s mother together, the family will be thrown out. Just at this time, afraid that they go out and say nonsense to corrupt the reputation of the Jin family, but also to wait for Jin Juli’s physical recovery, can go out to meet people before driving people.
Su Chunjun also heard from Sun Zhao about the Ma family’s situation, so he told Yang Yuyan.
Su Chunjun: “The Ma family’s father and son were beaten, but Ma Tianbao’s mother was not beaten because she did not know. Sun Zhao said the Ma family father and son were not beaten lightly, both legs may be broken.”
Yang Yuyan listened with cold teeth, “Legs were broken? Both of them?”
Su Chunjun nodded and said, “But Sun Zhao said that the Jin family’s cousin has already hired a doctor for the Ma family’s father and son, and it’s hard to say whether the legs can be saved, but the people’s lives are not in danger.”
Yang Yuyan’s mood was heavy, half for the Ma family’s father and son’s encounter, half for Yang Yucan’s worry.
With her understanding of her, Yang Yucan will not leave Ma Tianbao because he became crippled, her love will not be hit, will only be more firm and fiery, courageous dedication.
What can be done about this?
She sighed deeply and said, “I’ll go find a job too.”
Su Chunjun’s eyes widened, the first time he saw her so devoid of self-awareness.
A job? Her?
Blame him, usually always tell lies to coax her, so that this stupid child believed in the truth, and now so no self-awareness, all his teacher’s fault.
Su Chunjun calmed down for a moment and asked, “What kind of job do you want to find?”
Yang Yuyan thought for a moment and said, “Something that can make money, right? Something closer to home.”
Su Chunjun pondered for a moment more and asked, “What kind of work do you think you can do?”
Yang Yuyan opened her mouth to answer, but she couldn’t say anything out of her mouth.
The truth is that this is not the era she is familiar with, and many jobs are not allowed for women.
For example, teachers, nowadays all school teachers are men. Because now the literacy rate of women is very low, society still believes that a woman’s lack of talent is a virtue. Home teachers are not teachers, but more like babysitters.
Women are also seldom able to work in public, the salesmen in shopping malls are all men, the waiters in hotel lobbies are all men, and the employees in companies are all men.
Respectable jobs are all male, and any job a woman can do is seen as sexually related.
In the pictorials that Yang Yuchan must buy every issue, almost all of the women pictured in the advertisements are in the professions that they advertise.
Although celebrities also appear in newspapers and magazines, and progressive people also support working women, the general environment of society as a whole is such that a single tree does not make a forest.
Other than that, there are jobs that don’t require knowledge or skills, just selling labor.
For example, Mrs. Cheung worked as a maid, and Mrs. Wu worked as a laundress. These are exclusive women’s occupational positions, just like the street pulling a yellow cart driver, selling labor to work for money, but also honorable and sacred.
Yang Yuyan was not looking down on labor work, she just didn’t think she could accomplish it.
Su Chunjun happened to share her thoughts.
The two agreed on this.
He was more curious about how she jumped from the Ma family’s downfall to the fact that she was going to work, and where the logic lay.
Yang Yuyan then said, “The Ma family is so miserable, after they leave the Jin family they will definitely come to my sister for help. My sister will definitely help them too, but she is not going to have much money. She won’t look for mom to borrow money, so maybe she’ll look for me to borrow.”
Su Chunjun understood, “So, you’re trying to find a job in order to borrow your sister’s money.”
The logic is sound, so you can get a beating.
Yang Yuyan was thinking that in the matter of the Ma family, Yang Yucan would not help them without limit, she should have a bottom line. She wouldn’t be able to support the Ma family all by herself, but she would definitely pay for the Ma family to go to the doctor. And the Ma family’s medical expenses won’t be a small amount.
Fortunately, it was still the bottom limit, and her aim was to earn enough money for the Ma family to see a doctor.
After Su Chunjun heard this, the heart that wanted to beat the child just now slightly lessened. Because he felt that she still had a point, and was not bottomless to help the Ma family, but to save the day.
Yang Yuyan thought more: ”If I don’t borrow, my mom will quietly borrow too. But it’s better for me to borrow than for my mom to borrow. My ability is limited, even if my sister wants to help the Ma family indefinitely, when she runs out of strength, I top it off, and when I run out of strength as well, it’s time for her to stop. Borrowing my sister’s money is more likely to bring her to her senses than borrowing my mother’s money.”
This reflection is very deep.
Su Chunjun was really impressed with Yang Yuyan.
With his understanding of Yang Yucan, she was a girl with high self-esteem, she had always protected and taken care of Yang Yuyan as her younger sister, maybe she could borrow money from her sister once or twice, but she definitely couldn’t afford to borrow from her indefinitely. If the money was earned by Yang Yuyan’s own work, it would be even more difficult for Yang Yucan.
She would not even be able to open her mouth.
At that time, she would realize that there is an end to manpower and an end to suffering.
Su Chunjun said, “Okay, I will find a job for you.”
It’s just that this job search is no better than going to the store to buy something, it’s not something that can be found in a moment. Besides, it has to be to your liking, and it has to be something that Miss Yang Er can handle, and it has to be close to home, and it can’t be too tiring.
With so many conditions, Mr. Su was unable to find a suitable job and had to ask Miss Yang to wait a little longer.
She had to ask Miss Yang to wait a while longer.
New Year’s congratulations, great luck.
Red lanterns were hung up in the streets and alleys, everyone wore new clothes, and there were more stalls selling windmills, New Year’s paintings, New Year’s candies, and New Year’s cakes.
Su Chunjun is also busier, his feet do not stick to the ground, but still every day to the Zhu family to eat breakfast.
Zhu Yanshu personally wrote spring scrolls and lucky charms and sent them from door to door.
But since she was familiar with Mr. Su, she didn’t have to make another trip, and asked Mr. Su to take it back when he came in the morning.
Mr. Su had already received his salary, and his wallet was full like never before. He bought the foreign milk candies and chocolates that Miss Yang loved to eat, and brought them to Zhu’s house in the morning, and when he entered, he saw an exasperated Miss Yang in the middle of a room full of happy people.
He went up with the candy box and coaxed her to open her face.
Su Chunjun: “What’s wrong? It’s New Year’s Eve and you’re still hanging on to a bottle of oil.”
He unwrapped the candy box and stuffed a milk candy to her, she still had a puffy face. It’s going to be New Year’s Eve, the food in the house has become more, she has gained a little weight, her face is rounder and rosier.
She took the milk candy, puffed up one cheek, and was about to pull Su Chunjun to complain, when Zhu Yanshu came out of the house and said, “Teacher Su, don’t mind her! She’s just having a childish tantrum! I’m telling you, you have to go even if you want to, and you have to go even if you don’t want to! This is a matter of etiquette, don’t you understand?”
Su Chunjun responded with a smile, and pulled Miss Yang to the balcony, then asked her in detail what she was doing.
Yang Yuyan hatefully said, “It’s not that Yang Xuhe! I’m so angry! Why isn’t he dead yet!”
Su Chunjun hurriedly stopped her, “Don’t say that, girls don’t say ugly things.”
But he also guessed it.
Sure enough the next thing that Second Miss Yang complained about was exactly the fact that she and Yang Yucan were going to pay their respects to Yang Xuhe in the New Year.
After this year, it had been three years since Yang Xuhe and Zhu Yanshu registered their divorce. The husband and wife are separated by a city, although they won’t meet on the road, but they always have each other’s names around their ears.
Zhu Yanshu is an educated lady, although divorced, but not allowed two daughters to leave the stigma of unfiliality. She understands very well the world’s demand for all kinds of morality, and understands that women are naturally more disadvantaged in this regard.
Even though Yang Xuhe betrayed his marriage and family, Yang Yucan and Yang Yuyan couldn’t say a word against him outside, and even more so, they couldn’t disown their biological father and fall into disrepute.
So every year, she asked her two daughters to go to Yang Xuehe to pay tribute to him, but also must be in the first day of the New Year, Yang Xuehe’s house is the most bustling when the door, in front of many friends and relatives and members of the community, to pay tribute to Mr. Yang, a great man of letters.
As long as there is this one time a year, no one will be able to criticize her daughter for not being filial to Yang Xuhe!
It was just window dressing, Zhu Yanshu thought it was simple and cost-effective.
But how could Miss Yang’s naive and innocent black or white character accept it?
Last year at this time, he and this second young lady had not yet met. At this time this year, he could already hear her curse Mr. Yang to his face.
From the reasoning and human feelings, he agreed with Ms. Zhu’s approach.
But emotionally, he couldn’t bear to upset Yang Yuyan.
But even he couldn’t figure out how to get Yang Yuyan to avoid this New Year’s visit.
Su Chunjun had to stay with her, listen to her disrespectful remarks about Mr. Yang a few more times, and then lead her back to the house for breakfast before freezing her.
Zhang Ma had wrapped fist-sized meat Yuanxiao, putting four in one bowl and squeezing it to the brim.
Su Chunjun ate two bowls and still not enough, but there is no more in the pot, coincidentally, Yang Yuyan gas full, ate one and do not want to eat, so he took advantage of Zhang Ma is not there, the bowl of her upside down to eat.
This is not the first time. Zhu Yanshu and Yang Yucan are used to it. Yang Yuchan frowned when she first saw it, but Zhu Yanshu didn’t see it, so she didn’t say anything, thinking that it was just Mr. Su’s familiarity and lack of etiquette.
Yang Yuyan even felt that the first time was not very good, the second time was already completely do not feel anything, to the point that now Su Chunjun took her bowl over, she would only raise her hand.
She would only raise her hand and then continue to be angry.
Everyone at the table knew why she was wearing a face.
Zhu Yanshu was not used to her. Yang Yucan was thinking that considering the father-daughter bond from the past, it would be fine to go pay respects and leave.
Even if they had become enemies, it wasn’t to the point where they had to spit on each other when they met.
But Yang Yuyan’s mind and Yang Xuhe that is already to the point where you can pull out a knife when you meet, pay respects? The year before last she was in the hospital, last year she pretended to be sick, this year why she can not pretend to be sick again!
Because Zhu Yan Shu has found her pretending to be sick, but also feel that after the education of Mr. Su, Yang Yu Yan is no longer the previous weak little pitiful, has grown up, but also skinny, completely can go to see the pro-daddy one side and not be angry to death.
Nor will she be angry enough to swallow pills again.
Zhu Yan Shu finished eating and wiped her mouth, making a closing statement, “On the morning of the first day of the year, you go with big sister.”
Yang Yuyan firmly resists, “I-no-go!”
Su Chunjun felt that the second young lady’s small hand that slapped on the table was white and crunchy, just don’t know if the slap hurt or not.
