Chapter 154: It Is Not Easy Being the Head of the Family

Chapter 154: It Is Not Easy Being the Head of the Family

In the past, when she was working, she would go home and cook dinner. Her children could do everything else by themselves.

It has been easier for her these past few years. Before, when they were small, they could only handle half the work of an adult.

Su Danhong was very happy that sister He was willing to do it and didn’t complain. That’s why she continued to speak and said, ”Sister, please talk it over with brother and see if he wants to go too.”

“See if he wants to go too?” Sister He was shocked.

“Well, it’s not safe for you to be there alone, sister He,” Su Danhong said.

“No, I can do it myself. You’ve never seen me take on a man trying to choke me with a knife, have you?” Sister He said brashly.

Su Danhong laughed and said, “Sister, ask him if he wants to do it. He can quit the job in the county. You and your husband can go to the college town and get paid 60 yuan a month, and you don’t need to separate. You will also get a living allowance of 10 yuan a month. It’ll be 70 yuan in total. If you want to live in the shop, Jianyun will find a spacious one. Since he is asking you to do this, he will never let you live badly.”

Sister He was speechless, but understood. Danhong came to help her, but she was also content with things. She promptly said, “If we go together, we should be paid 40 yuan. It doesn’t need to be that much. My husband works in the county, and he only gets paid 23 yuan a month. I used to be in the department store, but I wasn’t paid much.”

She only wanted 40 yuan, and taking into account the current price of things, they could live a good life at 40 yuan a month. Also, if they could save some of the money, they would still have more than enough!

“I have my own reasons for making it that high. Sister, when it gets really busy, please make sure you do your share of the burden,” Su Danhong said with a smile.

“That is definitely a guarantee. Don’t worry, Danhong. I will be clear with you about the financials. We will not be careless. You don’t need to say more about this!” Sister He immediately said.

Before, she also had to keep track of the accounts in the department store. She clearly remembered what was sold, for how much, and so on. When she made an inventory, it was very organized and easy to check.

She used to be paid for the same type of work in the department store. This time, the husband and wife would work together for 70 yuan a month, which was almost 100 yuan. The salary was absolutely top-notch, so she had to be more thorough.

She knew that some things might not need to be so perfunctory, but with this job, it was absolutely not allowed. One line per number. It should be clear, it must be clear!

In addition, it was good for both sides to talk openly about such matters.

Su Danhong smiled and said, “Since I’m taking this chance to give you this job, it’s natural to treat you as my own sister and trust you.”

“Then I must live up to your trust. Don’t worry, we will do it. My husband and I will definitely do a good job for you and Jianyun!” Sister He exclaimed.

Su Danhong talked with her again for a while, and then took Qiqii back.

Elder sister He began to tidy up the house. Afterwards, she went out to visit her mother-in-law to tell her about it.

“Are they reliable?” her mother-in-law couldn’t help saying. ?????*:??.??:*?:*:?? ??????? ??? ?????????? ??? ???? ?? ?????????.??? ??:*?:??.??:*?????

“Mother, how can they not be? Su Jindang’s shop on West Street is where you go to buy vegetables every day. Danhong is his sister. The eggs and chickens he sells in his shop are from Danhong’s chicken farm,” Sister He rushed to explain.

“Oh, so she is Su Jindang’s sister. Su Jindang and his wife are reliable. They see that I am old and give me a free tomato or two and some spring onions every time I shop there. Last time I went to his shop to buy eggs, he personally picked out the ones with double yolks for me. It was not bad,” her mother-in-law praised.

“Mother, this job must be reliable. I’m going to take Dashan to the college Town. In the future, our three children will have to stay with you and father to watch over. I’ll come back to take them to the college town to live for a while during summer vacation,” Sister He said.

Her mother-in-law agreed. “Don’t worry, but you have to send money back.”

“I will send back 30 yuan a month!” Sister He vowed.

“That’s fine. Dashan is our only son, and we only have three grandchildren. We will treat them well.” Her mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction.

She and her husband had ailments when they were younger, and they didn’t give birth to their only son until she was 30 years old.

Fortunately, their daughter-in-law was lucky and gave birth to two grandsons and a granddaughter. Now they wanted to go out to earn money, so the old couple naturally wanted to help them. Otherwise, who would support them in the future?

In order to live well in the future, the elders must treat the younger generation well.

At about seven o’clock in the evening, sister He’s husband, Sun Dashan, came back. He came back by bike. He was tired after working all day and didn’t have much energy

Sister He brought him water, and a towel for him to wash his face. Sun Dashan then became more energetic.

“Dashan, I have something to tell you,”Sister He said with a smile.

Sun Dashan looked at her and said,””I saw you smiling as soon as I entered. What’s going on?”

Sister He smiled and told him what Su Danhong had said today. Sun Dashan was dumbfounded. “Really? Paying us 70 yuan a month?”

“It’s true. This is what Su Danhong personally said to me. Dashan, you can quit your job. Let’s go live in the college town. If we can settle down there in the future, we can have our children study there. The education there is much better than ours,” Sister He suggested.

Sun Dashan shook his head.“Don’t talk so far ahead. The shop in the college town has not been bought yet. Also, I still have work to do at my job.”

The whole family depended on his job. How could he quit this job so easily? Unless the shop at the college town was really successful, he had to hesitate. He couldn’t quit right now.

“Then you should go ahead with your work and leave later,” Sister He said. “But do you agree?”

“If it’s true, then how can I not agree? I only get paid 23 yuan a month, while the job over there pays more. I’m afraid the work won’t be good though.” Sun Dashan said. How could Su Danhong and Ji Jianyun pay that much for these jobs?

“It’s basically selling goods at the shop. How is that not a good job? It’s not like they are asking you to steal and rob others. Do you think your factory job is that good?” Sister He retorted.

“That’s true.” Sun Dashan nodded.

Seeing the strawberries on the table, he asked, “Where did you get the strawberries? They are not cheap now.” He was a little worried about money. His family’s financial situation was not as good as before.

“I didn’t buy it, Danhong brought it,” Sister He said.

“She brought that much? It’s more than two jin, isn’t it?” Sun Dashan ate one and nodded. It was delicious.

“It’s about four jin. I took one jin to my parents. Your sons and daughter just ate a lot,” Sister He said.

“Well, if the job is as good as you say, I’ll quit my job. It’s so tiring over there. If it wasn’t for our big family, I wouldn’t do it,” Sun Dashan sat down and said.

Sister He also knew that it had not been easy for her man. She nodded and said nothing else. She hoped that the job Danhong had talked about came true. If she was managing the shop to sell things, how tired could she get? It would be better than their current situation.
