Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Jia Zhang also applauded the idea proposed by Yi Zhonghai.

The work of the Jia family was in the hands of Qin Huairu. He was like a grandson in front of her and didn't dare to say a word.

But if Banggeng takes over this job, his position in the Jia family will definitely change.

After all, Banggeng obviously works harder in the Jia family.

By then, it would be difficult for Qin Huairu to boss me around like before.

Maybe he could become the head of the Jia family again and boss Qin Huairu around.

With this thought in mind, Qin Huairu stood on Yi Zhonghai's side without hesitation and followed his advice.

"Huairu..."

"Bang Geng is your own son!"

"If you don't believe him, you can still trust others!"

"Our Bang Geng is a good boy, and he will definitely be filial to you in the future!"

"Besides, you're still so young. Even if you lose your job at the steel mill, you can still find other jobs. If all else fails, you can still make matchboxes. Anyway, you can make money no matter what you do."

"Bang terrier is different!"

"If he loses this job at the Jia family and cannot work at the steel mill, he will have to go to the countryside in a few days and won't even have the chance to find another job."

"Huai Ru, you are Bang Geng's biological mother. You can't just watch Bang Geng suffer in the countryside!"

"For Banggeng, as a grandmother, I am willing to sacrifice my life, let alone a job!"

"Huai Ru...just agree to Bang Geng!"

Qin Huairu's mood at this moment is so complicated that it is hard to describe in words.

There is despair, reluctance, and roguery...

Faced with the double pressure from her son and mother-in-law, if she chose to refuse, not only would her son hate her to the core, but Jia Zhang would also become her enemy.

And given Jia Zhang's personality, he would definitely find ways to force himself to give the job to Bang Geng.

After all, Jia Dongxu exchanged his life for this job, and as Jia Dongxu's only son, Banggeng should take the job for both moral and legal reasons.

But Qin Huairu didn't want to give this job to Banggeng from the bottom of her heart.

Although from the perspective of income and benefits, Banggeng would be better off working in a steel mill than himself.

But once he lost this job, his status in the Jia family would definitely be greatly affected. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a plummeting status.

More importantly, without income, he would become a dispensable person in the Jia family and might be kicked out of the Jia family by Jia Zhang at any time.

Although she could earn money by doing odd jobs on the streets and pasting matchboxes, the money was too little and obviously did not meet Qin Huairu's expectations.

Just when Qin Huairu was struggling and didn't know what to decide, Yi Zhonghai spoke again: "Huairu!"

"Even if you give up your job at the steel mill to Bang Geng, the pension agreement between you and me will not be affected!"

"Besides, without the burden of work, it will be more convenient for me to make matchboxes at home and take care of us old people!"

"Besides, I have become Director Li's man now. I just need to continue suppressing Director Yang and his men in the workshop. Maybe it won't take long for me to recover to level eight fitter!"

"As long as my salary at the steel mill increases, I will increase the living expenses I give you every month."

To put it bluntly, Yi Zhonghai's words were telling Qin Huairu that as long as she took good care of them in their old age, the cost of living would increase in the future, and Qin Huairu would be able to put more of the living expenses into her own pocket.

Faced with the combined threats and inducements from her son, mother-in-law, and Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu was no match for them and could only sigh and answer. "Great..."

"Since this job is the only way for you to stay in Forty-Nine City, I will give it to you!"

Seeing Qin Huairu nod, Yi Zhonghai was very happy. Fearing that something unexpected might happen, he immediately replied, "Banggeng, come with us to the steel mill tomorrow morning to complete the formalities as soon as possible, in case the policy changes!"

"When Bang Geng enters the steel rolling mill, I will personally ask the workshop director to transfer him to the fifth group and teach him locksmithing skills in person!"

"When I become the official team leader of the fifth group in workshop one in the future, I will find a way to make him a regular employee in advance!"

Jia Zhang's face was already beaming with joy, especially after hearing Yi Zhonghai's promise, she was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth.

Immediately replied: "My Huairu is still sensible..."

"Great! Once you enter the steel mill, you must listen to your grandfather and get a permanent job as soon as possible!"

"Huai Ru, after you retire from the steel mill, take a rest for two days and then go to the streets to find a job!"

"If you can't find a job, just make matchboxes at home!"

"I, an old lady, will cook the meals at home, so you don't have to worry about it!"

It was rare for Jia Zhang to be smart.

Knowing that Qin Huairu had just lost her job and was unhappy, she deliberately said that she would still cook the meals at home in the future to comfort Qin Huairu and prevent her from changing her mind after being provoked, otherwise her happiness would be in vain.

…………

Because Qin Huairu was an apprentice at the steel rolling mill, and Banggeng entered the steel rolling mill as an apprentice, the procedure for Banggen to replace Qin Huairu and enter the factory was very simple.

In less than half an hour, Bang Geng became a formal worker in the steel rolling mill.

The Qinhuai family transformed themselves into the life-saving people of Sijiucheng Property. They left the steel mill in despair and returned to the courtyard.

In a workshop of the steel rolling mill, Bang Geng finally became a member of Yi Zhonghai's team.

On the way back to the workshop, he had already found out the situation clearly.

The former director Yang and deputy director Zhang of the steel rolling mill were demoted to a workshop for making mistakes and remained under Yi Zhonghai's command.

Because Yi Zhonghai assigned the most tiring work in the workshop to Director Yang and Deputy Director Zhang, and did everything he could to suppress them and draw a clear line between himself and them, he has won the favor of Deputy Director Li and may be promoted to the official team leader of the fifth group in a workshop at any time, and then become Director Li's confidant.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Banggeng's mind: Grandpa Yi Zhonghai gained the trust of Director Li by torturing Director Yang and Deputy Director Zhang, and suddenly became the leader of the production team.

Could he also get into Director Li's sight by torturing Director Yang and Deputy Director Li?

I don't ask to be a cadre, but it would be good to be able to become a regular employee in advance.

After confirming that he would replace his mother and work in the steel rolling mill, he had already made up his mind that during his apprenticeship, he would earn 18 yuan a month, give 15 yuan to his family as living expenses, and keep the remaining 3 yuan for himself as pocket money.

If I could get the favor of Director Li and become a regular employee of the steel rolling mill ahead of schedule, my monthly salary would increase to 22.5 yuan.

After deducting the fifteen dollars I give to my family, I can save seven dollars and fifty cents for myself every month.

Bang Geng has never had more than two dollars on him since he was a child.

If I could save seven dollars and fifty cents of pocket money every month in the future, it would be absolutely a blessing that would never befall me.

So before returning to the first workshop, he had made up his mind: he must ask Uncle Gan to assign him to the same group with Factory Director Yang and Deputy Factory Director Zhang, so that he would have the opportunity to torture them severely and show his loyalty to Deputy Factory Director Li!
