1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Although Qin Huairu knew the importance of this job to the Jia family, if she lost it, the family's life would be in dire straits.

But in her heart, Banggeng is always the most important.

She is willing to pay any price as long as she can save her son.

Qin Huairu took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to walk into the inner room, and said to Jia Zhang who was sighing, "Mom, I have an idea, maybe I can raise the money."

Jia Zhang raised her head, looked at Qin Huairu, and said unhappily, "What ideas do you have? It's already this late, and you're still thinking about it."

Didn't Li Huaide reject her? What else could she think?

Qin Huairu bit her lip and said, "Mom, why don't you sell your job and raise enough money to redeem Banggeng."

"What? Selling jobs? Are you crazy?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes widened and she jumped up, "If we lose our job, will our family be left with nothing?"

She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, her face turned red, and she started cursing at Qin Huairu.

"You are such a shameless slut that you don't know how to live. Without a job, you've left your children to starve!"

Qin Huairu just lowered her head silently, tears welling up in her eyes.

But her tone was unusually firm, and she interrupted Jia Zhang: "Mom, I know what you said is true, and I am also worried about my future life. But Banggeng is my son, and I can't just watch him being sent to a juvenile detention center. As long as Banggeng can get out, I am willing to live a hard life."

Jia Zhang cursed for a while, and when she saw Qin Huairu's determined eyes, the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

She sat down helplessly, lowered her head and looked at the ground, lost in thought.

She knew that what Qin Huairu said made sense, but she just couldn't get over it.

After all, that job is the family's only source of income and can be passed down from generation to generation.

If they sell their jobs, how will they make a living? Will the whole family have to return to the village to live?

However, now that Banggeng has gotten into such a big trouble, he won't be able to hold his head up even if he is released. Instead of his family living here under the criticism, it would be better for them to live in a different environment.

By then, Qin Huairu will work with her to earn work points and raise the children, and Banggeng will be able to forget the bad memories in the city.

As for Xiaodang and Huaihua, she had never thought about them and they were not within her consideration at all.

They are two little girls, and their lives will be the same no matter where they go.

After a long time, Jia Zhang slowly raised her head and looked at Qin Huairu, her eyes full of helplessness: "Huairu, have you really thought it through? This is not a trivial matter."

Qin Huairu nodded: "Mom, I've made up my mind. I can't give up Banggeng, otherwise how can I be worthy of Dongxu."

Jia Zhang sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll just do as you say. This is fate."

So, Qin Huairu spread the word in the courtyard: whoever can pay a thousand yuan will get her job and the two rooms in the Jia family.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the hospital.

Everyone was talking about it, some were shaking their heads and sighing, while others were making their own calculations in their minds.

At this time, Li Weiguo was carrying a bucket and walking slowly towards the central courtyard.

Although he seemed casual, he actually had a plan in mind. He deliberately chose this time to come to the Central Courtyard to fetch water, just to find out what people in the courtyard were saying about the Jia family selling their jobs.

He knew very well that this might be a good opportunity for Xinchuang's family to change their destiny, and they must not miss any news.

In the middle courtyard, neighbors were gathered together talking.

"Have you heard? In order to redeem Bang Geng, the Jia family is going to sell Qin Huairu's job for only one thousand yuan!"

Aunt Wang was standing in the middle of the yard, holding a few freshly washed clothes in her hands and putting them on the clothesline. While she was busy, she turned her head and talked to her neighbor who was picking vegetables next to her.

Her eyes were wide open, full of surprise and curiosity.

Qin Huairu really wants to sell her job? She thought it was just a rumor!

"One thousand dollars is not a small amount. I don't know who can afford to buy that job."

Grandma Yang stopped what she was doing and looked up, her eyes filled with confusion and amazement, the wrinkles on her forehead appeared even deeper because of her frown.

A family like theirs can't afford a job that pays a thousand dollars, it's so expensive, and the Jia family really dares to take it!

"It's not easy for Qin Huairu. As a woman, she would never resort to such a desperate measure unless she had nowhere else to go."

Uncle Liu, who was walking through the main room, was sitting on a small bench at the door, puffing on his pipe and shaking his head, his face full of sympathy and regret, the smoke slowly swirling above his head.

That is a formal job that can be passed down. If you sell it now, it will be difficult to buy it back in the future.

After all, there is no man in the family, so women are just short-sighted.

"Humph, Banggeng is such a loser. He doesn't learn his lesson at such a young age and steals things. Isn't this a burden to the whole family?"

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family leaned against the door frame and spoke with a pout, with obvious sarcasm in her words and a hint of disdain in her eyes.

What’s the point of Qin Huairu being able to seduce men no matter how beautiful she is? With a son like this in the family, the whole family will lose all their wealth.

"But then again, if this job is sold, how will the Jia family live in the future?"

Uncle Meng in the backyard frowned and asked worriedly, his hands folded across his chest, his eyes full of doubt.

"How else can we live? The Jia family had a house in the countryside. If things don't work out, we can just go back to our hometown!"

Li Weiguo was collecting water on the side, his ears keenly capturing every piece of information, and his eyes occasionally glancing at the expressions of the people around him.

When he heard these discussions, he was secretly happy, knowing that things were developing in the direction he expected, and it seemed that his previous plan had worked.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

After he had listened to almost everything, he picked up the bucket full of water, turned around and walked towards the front yard. His steps were a little more brisk than when he came here, thinking to himself: Now everything is ready, all I lack is the east wind, and I just have to wait for the new uncle to come with my aunt and money to buy a job.

The news of Qin Huairu selling her job also spread to the old Yan family in the front yard, causing quite a stir.

The air in the Yan family's house seemed to be frozen, and the atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring about to break.

Yan Jiecheng's face flushed red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he looked at his father Yan Bugui and mother Yang Ruihua anxiously, his eyes showing both fervent anticipation and a hint of anxiety that was hard to conceal.

"Dad, Mom, do you know about the Jia family selling jobs? This is a great opportunity for me to change my destiny! If I get that job, our family will definitely have a better life in the future, and I will be able to be filial to you."

"Besides, I won't let you spend this thousand dollars for nothing. Can't I just consider it as a loan? Can't I pay you back when I make money in the future?"

"How about this, from now on, I'll give all my salary to my parents, and I won't keep a single cent. Is that not okay?"

Yan Jiecheng spoke until his mouth was dry and he said so many nice things that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He kept rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, trying to calm himself down, but his slightly trembling fingers still revealed his inner tension and anxiety.

He really felt unsure because his parents didn't say anything!

He really wanted this job, but his parents didn't support him and he couldn't raise that much money.
