Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 207 Missing
For Wang Yinshan, the fact that his eldest daughter had been able to get a job was an absolutely wonderful thing.

This not only means that their family has the ability to earn more money, but also that their status within the family has improved.

Now that a worker has joined the family, I suppose Mother won't favor my eldest brother as much anymore, right?

Thinking this way, Wang Yinshan's mood improved even more.

He rarely took out his own savings, and actually went to town to spend a lot of money on some food. Such an important event was indeed worth celebrating.

However, when Wang Yinshan returned home full of joy, he saw a scene that shocked him to no end.

Today should have been a happy day, but my wife and two daughters were sitting on the edge of the bed, sobbing softly.

The moment she saw Wang Yinshan, his wife, Sun Xiufang, seemed to see a savior. She wiped away her tears and rushed to him, sobbing, "..."
"Honey, we can't live like this anymore."

"If you don't come home soon, the three of us might as well just kill ourselves at home."

Hearing Sun Xiufang's tearful account, Wang Yinshan looked shocked, and he didn't even realize what was happening when the food in his hand fell to the ground.

Wang Yinshan pulled Sun Xiufang into his arms, his face displeased, and said:
"Who dares to bully my family?!"

"Xiufang, tell me, I'm going to cause them trouble right now."

Feeling Wang Yinshan's warm embrace, Sun Xiufang finally managed to hold back her tears and said:

"I'm at home now, who else but your mother and your older brother could bully the three of us?"

"You didn't come back just now, so you didn't see their true colors, just how despicable they are."

With the family's breadwinner back, Wang Dani felt emboldened and immediately stood up to complain, saying:

“Dad, just as you went out to buy things, my uncle and grandma came looking for me, saying that I should give up my job to Wang Chun’an.”

"This recruitment drive at the sugar factory is a matter for the entire Wangjia Village; everyone has a chance."

“They themselves lack the ability and skills to recruit workers, yet they covet the job I worked so hard to get.”

"Dad, do you really think there's such a thing as bullying people like that?"

Sun Xiufang, wiping away tears, began to recount her grievances, saying:

"Our eldest brother always likes to take advantage of us, but for the sake of brotherly harmony, we'll let it go with a little bit of it."

“But this is a job that Da Ni worked so hard to get, how can we just give it away to someone else?”

"With this job, it's not impossible for Dani to find a city man to marry."

"Our family can also benefit from this prosperity and live the good life we've always dreamed of."

"We should find a son-in-law to live with us; that would be the best thing ever for our family."

"And now your elder brother is actually trying to get us to give up our jobs at the sugar factory without any explanation. This is simply outrageous."

Listening to his wife and daughter's tearful complaints, Wang Yinshan frowned.

He never imagined that before outsiders even started bullying him, it would be his own family members who started bullying him.

He immediately began to comfort her in a low voice, saying:
"Don't worry, I will never let my brother take this job away from me without any real knowledge or skills."

“I’ve had enough of this unfair treatment over the past few days. If they keep pushing me, then we’ll split up.”

The idea of ​​splitting up the family had crossed Wang Yinshan's mind countless times, but he had suppressed it time and time again.

He was, after all, a filial son, and often thought of enduring Zhao Yuju's unreasonable demands.

However, he discovered that his mother seemed to be going too far lately, and had apparently driven their family of four to the brink of despair.

Especially now, she's even teaming up with her older brother to try and get Wang Dani's job.

If they lose this hard-won job, the four of them will never have a chance to turn their lives around again, and will only be buried back in the ground forever.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Just as Wang Yinshan was determined to keep his job, even at the cost of breaking ties with his family, Zhao Yuju and Wang Jinshan walked in from outside.

Zhao Yuju didn't seem to understand the concept of politeness and took it for granted, saying:

"Second brother, you've come back just in time. There's something here that needs your advice."

"See those three women in your family who have long hair but short brains? I told them that I wanted Wang Dani to give up her job to Wang Chun'an, but they absolutely refused."

"She's just a good-for-nothing girl who'll be married off sooner or later. What right does she have to take a job in the Wang family? Does she even know how to do this job properly?"

"I'll make the decision: Wang Dani should give up her job to Wang Chun'an. What do you think?"

Looking at his mother, who was so self-righteous in taking away his job, Wang Yinshan felt completely alienated.

When did the other party become so terrifying, attempting to take away the job that Wang Dani had worked so hard to obtain with just a few words?

In a daze, Wang Yinshan felt that he seemed to understand why Wang Chengpeng was willing to give up everything to separate the family. Living with this kind of vampire, his family would be sucked dry sooner or later, leaving not even a trace of skin.

Previously, it was because Wang Chengpeng's family had always been the ones being taken advantage of and exploited.

Although Wang Yinshan occasionally suffers some grievances, he can endure them if he just bears it.

But now that he has lost Wang Chengpeng's family as his biggest suckers, he only realized how much injustice his third brother had suffered after the vampires started eyeing his flesh and blood.

No, no, I absolutely cannot give up this job!
Thinking this, Wang Yinshan immediately retorted, "Mother, there's something wrong with what you're saying. What do you mean by 'Does Da Ni understand what she's doing'?"

"Since she has the ability to pass the recruitment test, she is naturally capable of doing this job."

"On the contrary, those who cannot even pass one round of testing are probably not good enough for this job and will be fired sooner or later for failing to meet the assessment standards."

Wang Yinshan only felt pain when the vampire sucked his blood. This time, he could no longer sit idly by and watch the show, and he began to argue his case.

Even his words were extremely impolite, and the person he was referring to who couldn't even pass the first round of tests was naturally Wang Chun'an.

Faced with Wang Yinshan's rebuttal, Zhao Yuju immediately seemed offended and flew into a rage, roaring:
"Second brother, how dare you speak to me like that?"

"It's your daughter's good fortune that she's willing to give up her job to Chun'an. Don't be ungrateful."

“Chun’an is my eldest, most capable, and most filial grandson. How could your Dani possibly compare to him?”

"With this job, the family income will increase significantly, and won't you benefit from it too?"

When his own interests were at stake, Wang Jinshan also spoke up to offer advice:

"Chun'an is a member of the Wang family, and will always be a member of the Wang family." "Chun'an is the most filial. He will surely remember this small favor from you, and you will surely benefit from it in the future."

Looking at Zhao Yuju's statement that "asking your daughter to work is a huge compliment to you," Wang Yinshan felt utterly absurd.

When did my mother and older brother become like this?

Or perhaps they've always been like this, only they weren't targeting themselves before.

Frowning, Wang Yinshan politely declined:

“Even if my daughter gets married, she will still be my daughter for life and will take good care of us.”

“This is my daughter’s job. She earned it through her own abilities, and no one can take it away from her.”

"Mom, if you really want to find Chun'an a job, why don't you just donate money to the sugar factory?"

"As long as you make enough contributions, you can get a job at the sugar factory whenever you want, right?"

Since Wang Fucheng has already made this matter public, it has naturally become common knowledge.

Since Wang Fucheng's actions were reasonable, no one dared to say a word against them.

Anyone who can donate a few hundred dollars to the sugar factory can get a job there.

However, the sugar factory is only so big, and even if it needs workers, it can't need too many, so the number of places to contribute is becoming increasingly scarce.

Especially after recruitment has ended, those who were hoping for a lucky break have no other choice but to take this path, and have even raised the price of their contribution to over a thousand yuan.

Since Wang Chun'an was interested in Wang Dani's job, it's clear that he's the type of person who has high aspirations but low abilities.

They were quite confident, believing they would definitely be able to get a job at the sugar factory.

Unexpectedly, not only did the entire family perish, but some people even failed the first round of testing.

It's truly laughable that someone who doesn't even know how sugar is made would participate in a sugar factory's recruitment drive.

Unable to recruit any workers and unwilling to contribute financially, they naturally set their sights on Wang Dani's job.

In response to Wang Yinshan's rebuttal, Zhao Yuju said irritably:
"Don't you know how difficult things are at home? How dare you say such nonsense?"

“If you don’t want your daughter to give up her job, then you can donate a thousand yuan to Chun’an to give her a job at the sugar factory.”

"When the time comes, Chun'an will remember your kindness as her second uncle and may even help you in your old age."

Not having a son is probably Wang Yinshan's greatest pain. Using his retirement as leverage against him is like rubbing salt into his wounds, which is extremely cruel.

Having brought the conversation to this point, Wang Yinshan decided to drop the pretense and lay his cards on the table:
"Difficulties at home? Only my honest third brother and my self-important father would believe such nonsense."

"Mother, I'm not stupid. Don't tell me this nonsense."

"I'm telling you right now, I have no job and no money."

"I couldn't even afford to buy some food to celebrate such a big event today, and you're asking for a thousand dollars? That's really unreasonable."

At this point, Wang Yinshan had already decided to separate the family business, and he spoke recklessly.

Anyone who tries to mess with him today shouldn't blame him for messing with them in return.

Faced with Wang Yinshan's unequivocal refusal, Zhao Yuju suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears, repeatedly shouting:

"Where is my dutiful second son? I raised you with great difficulty, and now you won't even grant such a simple request. I am truly unfortunate."

"I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore, I'm going to kill myself in your house, you unfilial descendant."

Despite shouting that she would smash her head against a wall and die, Zhao Yuju did not take any action; she just kept howling.

But Wang Jinshan, as if he had found an opportunity, began to loudly berate Wang Yinshan, saying:

"Second brother, I'm not criticizing you as the eldest brother, but how could you put your mother under such pressure?"

"Listen to me, apologize to your mother, and then obediently give up your job or pay the money, and that will be the end of it."

"Otherwise, if word gets out that you've forced your own mother to die, it will have a huge impact on your reputation."

"Even if I have a good reputation, it will be difficult to restore your reputation, and the two girls will have no chance of finding a suitable family to marry into."

Wang Jinshan perfectly exemplifies the saying "it's easy to talk when you're not in the situation." Naturally, he wanted to offer advice, since either of these two options would be beneficial to him.

On the contrary, Wang Yinshan, who was forced to make a choice, would either lose money or lose his job; either way, he would suffer a huge loss.

The more Wang Yinshan looked at the two people in front of him, the more irritated he became.

Seeing his wife and daughter huddled together, crying as they were being bullied and their heads were about to explode, Wang Yinshan's anger surged even higher.

Since these two women aren't going to let him off the hook, then they shouldn't expect to have an easy time either.

Thinking this, Wang Yinshan disregarded everything else, opened the door, and walked towards the main house.

Old Man Wang Degong lived there, and he was Wang Yinshan's last resort.

Although Wang Degong was a bit old-fashioned, he could still be considered fair, though he was often deceived.

Furthermore, since he is the head of the Wang family, with him standing up for him, such a ruthless act of sucking his blood would be impossible.

One of them was howling on the ground, while the other stood on the moral high ground watching the show.
Caught off guard, they were unable to stop Wang Yinshan and could only watch helplessly as he went to Wang Degong for help.

But Zhao Yuju seemed unfazed, and chuckled softly:
"They really thought the old man would side with him? That's ridiculous."

"Jinshan, come with me."

"Don't worry, no one can take away the job that belongs to Chun'an."

After saying that, Zhao Yuju simply patted the dust off her clothes and calmly stood up from the ground, as if she wasn't the one who had just been wailing.

Seeing Zhao Yuju's determination, Wang Jinshan stopped panicking and quickly followed.

For a moment, the room that originally belonged to Wang Yinshan's family was now empty except for three people still crying.

They were rather weak-willed; despite being so oppressed by the two men, they couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Perhaps because this matter concerned his wife and daughters, and the future of his entire family, Wang Yinshan acted extremely quickly, soon knocking on the door of the main house and shouting loudly:
"Father, are you there?"

"There's something we need you to decide for us, otherwise Xiufang, Dani, Erni, and I will be bullied to death."
