To please others? It's better to please yourself.

Chapter 24 Household Registration Transfer

"Jing'an, you're capable and young, unlike me. I've had a really tough time since I got pregnant. I'm not going to take advantage of you. Let's switch jobs. Putting everything else aside, you should also feel sorry for your nephew."

Xu Duoduo looked at Xu's parents eagerly: "Mom and Dad, my job is pretty good, I've been doing it for several years now. If it were possible, I would never ask for help, but I have to think about the baby in my belly."

Xu Jianguo chimed in, "Mom and Dad, you saw it all with your own eyes. Duo Duo suffered so much during her pregnancy. And with twins! Her belly was so big! Could she even bend over? Mom has suffered a lot because of her. Besides, what could be more important than our Xu family's grandson!"

Duo Duo's belly was noticeably larger than that of a typical pregnant woman. Some well-meaning people even advised her to eat less, otherwise it would be difficult to give birth.

Did she not even know whether she had eaten more than expected? She was worried, so she went to the hospital with Xu Jianguo to have her checked, and only then did she find out that they were twins.

Making a picture of it is therefore particularly difficult.

"Alright, it's settled then," Xu's mother said decisively. "Tomorrow, your third son and your sister-in-law will switch. You're so old, you can't possibly argue with a child!"

"Young lady, you're still young, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. I'll remember all the kindness you've shown me. When you get married, I'll have your older brother carry you out of the house, and I'll give you a dowry."

Xu Jianguo immediately added, "I will never forget how good you were to me, sister. If your in-laws ever lay a finger on you after you get married, I'll knock their teeth out."

For the first time in so long, both Xu Jing'an and the original owner of this body heard these so-called family members' heartwarming words.

That sounds so nice!

The original owner did give the job to her family members, twice in total, but what did she get in return?

The original owner never received any promise of support after marriage, even until her death.

You see, it's not that people in this family can't say a nice thing to the original owner, but only if there's something to gain from it!

"After these little rascals are born, I'll have your nephews thank their aunt in person." Pleasant words just kept pouring out of her.

Before Xu Jing'an could even say a word, her things had already changed hands. No one asked for her opinion!

Her opinions and thoughts were completely unimportant in this family. Nobody cared, and nobody wanted to listen!

The Xu family, believing that the situation was settled, picked up their bowls and chopsticks again, intending to continue eating.

Xu Jing'an blurted out, "I doubt this will work."

"Third brother, what do you mean? You can't be so selfish!" Xu Jianguo immediately accused him.

Xu Jing'an, who was as tough as a dough figurine, dared to refuse. She was then met with a storm of suppression. Nobody wanted her to stand up!

"What, you think you're all grown up now? Don't you care about home anymore? I've raised you for nothing!" Mr. Xu angrily slammed the bowl down on the dining table.

"Third son, look how angry you've made your father! How can you be so insensible?" Xu's mother glared and continued to question him.

"Third brother, have pity on your sister-in-law and the baby in her belly..."

"Alright," Xu Jing'an quickly interrupted, otherwise she wouldn't even know when it would be her turn to speak if they kept talking one sentence after another.

"I understand what you all mean." Xu Jing'an looked around at these so-called relatives. "But this job isn't here."

"Where is it?" they asked in unison, and Xu Duoduo wiped away the tears in her eyes. Xu's mother rolled her eyes and pursed her lips when she saw this.

"It takes three days by train to get to H city!"

"Why is it so far?" Mrs. Xu asked, frowning.

"There's no way around it, jobs are so hard to find these days. We're lucky if we get one, how can we be picky?" Xu Jing'an said softly, head bowed.

"How did you get this job?" Duoduo asked, still unwilling to give up.

"This month, I was the only one in my family queuing up to buy things. I met an old lady on the street who was lost and carrying a bundle. I asked her her name and where she lived, but she couldn't remember." Xu Jing'an said, reciting her prepared speech.

"I could only take her to the police station, but then we ran into the old lady's son who came looking for her. The old lady had lost four of her five sons, and she was so traumatized that she lost her memory."

"His son asked me what I was doing now, and I said I was a senior in high school. He said he would introduce me to a job, and I didn't take it seriously, but it turned out to be true."

"Can't we arrange it here? You see, if there's anything that's too far from your parents' home, we can't really help you." Xu Jianguo continued to play the emotional card.

"He's from H City, and he came here specifically to see an elderly woman. He doesn't have any influence here; he has no connections!" Xu Jing'an replied helplessly.

Now, everyone had to put aside their current thoughts.

Within two minutes, Xu's mother had gone through the process in her mind. After weighing the pros and cons, she could only let her third son go.

"Then you should send 15 yuan home every month," Xu's mother immediately began to calculate Xu Jing'an's salary.

"Girl, don't always spend money recklessly when you're out, or people will take advantage of you. Bring the money back, and Mom will save it for your dowry."

From the moment Xu Jing'an entered the door until now, one promise after another has been made. Xu Jing'an, head bowed and face flushed, said shyly, "I'll do whatever Mom says."

"When are you leaving?"

"The train departs tomorrow morning."

"Then you can spend the night in the fourth brother's room!"

If Xu Jing'an hadn't promised to send her 15 yuan every month, she probably wouldn't even have the right to sleep at home.

The next day, as expected, when Xu Jing'an left, the box where her mother kept the household registration book was already locked. She left a note for her mother, telling her that she had moved the household registration.

As for what the Xu family would think if they found out, she wasn't going to consider it. All that nonsense she'd said yesterday had given her a headache.
