Chapter 1414: Hide Some Of Your Salary

Indeed, to Wang Xiaoqin, these were excellent terms.

She had never left before. She had always stayed at home with her husband and child. Actually, she was rather nervous about leaving. But now, a job had been arranged for her, and it was just washing dishes and chopping vegetables. She knew how to do such things even at home, so she was not so nervous.

Besides, it was 75 yuan a month!

To her, this was excellent.

Han Jing deeply respected this uncomplaining and hard-working sister-in-law.

She held her hand and said, “Sister-in-law, this is just the first step. You’ve never left the village before. I don’t know if you will be able to adjust if I place you in a large restaurant, so this is just a small restaurant where the interpersonal relationships are simpler and there are few rules. When you get there, you will just have to do some simple work. It might be tiring but simple, pretty much what you do at home.

“Do that first and get used to the environment out there. Actually, even chopping vegetables requires some technique. Besides, the restaurant will need you to add trimmings and other things. When you’re more experienced, I’ll find a way to get you a better job next year.”

Wang Xiaoqin smiled, “This is already very good. Oh, where will I be staying?”

“For now, you will stay in the hostel that they provide. I’m mainly worried that if they have nothing to do during the winter, my parents will look for you and then refuse to come back, so I did not find you a room for yourself. It’s a hostel, and you’ll share the rent with others. Even if my parents go over, they will have nowhere to stay.”

Wang Xiaoqin instantly understood.

…

Han Jing continued, “I’ve already asked around on Elder Brother’s behalf. There’s a place nearby where there is work for men. But Elder Brother can’t leave for now. You go first, and Elder Brother will follow soon.

“When you’ve settled down, you can find a suitable house next year. Then the two of you can stay together and bring Yu’er over.”

To Wang Xiaoqin, such a life would be bliss.

Although her in-laws were so difficult, her husband protected her and her adult sister-in-law was also on her side. Wang Xiaoqin felt that life had been good to her.

“I understand. I will work hard. Don’t worry, Jing Jing!”

The next day, Han Jing brought Wang Xiaoqin to the restaurant in the city. The job had been arranged, and it was Li Qinglang who found it!

So everything was settled very smoothly. The hostel was also arranged. Wang Xiaoqin would start work the next day.

It went so smoothly that Father and Mother Han did not know what to say.

They had always felt that women were useless and could not achieve anything. They felt that even if Wang Xiaoqin left, she might not be able to find a good job and would certainly prefer to remain at home.

But they also hoped that Wang Xiaoqin would earn money out there. Their conflicting desires made them feel uneasy.

When they heard that Wang Xiaoqin had found a job, they did not know how to feel.

“Mother, Sister-in-law will start work tomorrow. I’ll help her pack some clothes and bring them to her. Sixty yuan a month! It will be New Year’s Day soon. Sister-in-law’s salary will be enough to buy each of you a set of new clothes and buy Chuanzong some new clothes to celebrate the New Year.”

Wang Xiaoqin paused. Her salary was 75 yuan a month. But since her sister-in-law said so, she did not protest.

The capital was so big and the city was so far away. Father and Mother Han would never know just what Wang Xiaoqin’s salary was. But if she quoted a figure that was too low, Father and Mother Han probably would not accept it.

But they would not notice 15 yuan less.
