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

Chapter 42 Supporting the Great Northwest

When Xu's mother received the notice that Xu Jianshe was to go to the countryside, her anger was palpable. Xu Jianshe also panicked when he found out.

Xu's parents rushed to the scene that very night, taking money and belongings to plead their case. They were told they found out too late; the list was already finalized and the notices had been issued. Left with no other option, the couple had to beg and plead to have Xu Jianshe's assignment changed to H City.

At first, they thought someone was being jealous and malicious, but when they found out it was their eldest daughter-in-law who was behind it, the elderly couple were even more exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Suppressing her anger, Xu's mother first comforted her fourth son and told him to go back to work. She then spent the next two days preparing supplies for her son who was going to the countryside. Once everything was ready, Xu's mother returned to her son's workplace to hand over her work.

Sure enough, Xu's mother is coming back to work. Her eldest daughter-in-law's whole scheme was just to get rid of her youngest son. Does she even want this job? Pshaw! Dream on!

Since Xu's mother stopped working, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been staying at home. Spending so much time together has led to increased friction.

Many people feel dissatisfied with their current life. Life is full of trivial matters that can drain all your energy. Taking care of three naughty sons every day can wear down even the most ambitious woman.

This isn't the life she wanted. What's the essential difference between her current situation and her life in the Xu family? It's just a matter of moving from one family to another.

Is she going to spend the rest of her life burying herself in endless housework and constant arguments with her mother-in-law?

She had to leave home and go to work to have another possibility. Meanwhile, with the fourth child gone, only the two of them and their three children were left at home. The elderly couple might be angry, but they'd get over it after a while. After all, they would have to rely on themselves for their old age. Their possessions wouldn't be given to others to enjoy.

Plus, there were those envious and jealous people in the family dormitory who would occasionally sow discord between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. There were also well-informed and observant people who knew about the secret registration, but they said nothing. Weren't they also just watching the drama unfold?

After discussing it with her husband Xu Jianguo, Duoduo registered Xu Jianshe's child with their household registration book. These past two days, fearing a beating, the couple took their child and went to Duoduo's parents' house. They even paid the Xu family 5 yuan for lodging!

They had a good plan, but when they returned with their child, they discovered that Xu's mother had taken on a job on her own.

Although disappointed, Duoduo comforted herself: no matter what, at least her mother-in-law isn't home and she doesn't have to face her all day, so the conflict between the two of them can ease.

She had barely comforted herself for half a month when Xu Jianguo received a job transfer notice. Xu Jianguo was completely dumbfounded! What was going on? How could his family have become "advanced individuals" and even strongly requested to go to the Northwest to participate in construction?

Although I'm still a worker and my salary hasn't changed, my job has changed and my surroundings have changed!

Now this family is going to plant trees and green the desert!

The neighborhood committee arrived with a letter written in blood, accompanied by drums and gongs. It was supposedly a pledge from the couple, written in their own blood, to go to the far northwest. How come he didn't know?

Reporters from several newspapers came to interview and take photos; the director of the neighborhood office personally led a team and presented the couple with big red flowers.

At this point, Xu Duoduo wanted a divorce, but she couldn't abandon Xu Jianguo and their child. The letter was written in both of their names. Looking at the large banner in front of her that read "People advance, sand retreats" and "The desert will never turn green, we will never return," Xu Duoduo felt her vision go black.

The Xu family has become famous!

To be precise, Xu Jianguo and his wife, Duoduo, became famous!

Now, Xu Jianguo and Xu Duoduo are in a bind. If they dare to say they don't want to go, no one will agree! They can only grit their teeth and swallow their anger, accepting the situation.

They both knew in their hearts that this was revenge. Only Xu Jianshe and Xu Jingping could have done this. After all, only the second and fourth children in the family could imitate their handwriting to write letters; Xu's parents had little literacy, let alone the ability to write.

Xu Jingping's move surprised many, but upon reflection, it was understandable.

Since their marriage, Xu Duoduo had frequently urged Xu's mother to ask Xu Jingping for favors. Firstly, both families lived in the city and weren't far apart; secondly, even she herself couldn't escape the entanglement of her own family, so what right did Xu Jingping have? Now that the third son, Xu Jing'an, had flown away, Xu Jingping needed to hold on even tighter!

Xu Jingping is also the female protagonist of another novel. Could she be someone who can be easily manipulated? Her greatest strength lies in seizing the opportunity and striking decisively.

Although Xu Jingping's life is not as glamorous as it was in the original novel, she is still living a better life than most people thanks to her careful management.

As soon as Xu Jianshe's trip to the countryside came out, she knew something was wrong. When she found out it was her eldest son and his wife who were behind it, she knew her opportunity had arrived. Did she think she could so easily take advantage of her?

She has to spit out everything she swallowed!

She immediately discussed with the fourth brother how to deal with them.

Otherwise, would Xu Jianshe have left without a word? There's no such person in the Xu family! Including the third son, Xu Jing'an, who has gone far away!

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Duoduo turned around and started packing her things. This family would never be coming back from now on!

After packing everything up, mail it over first. Anything you can't take with you, sell it or trade it for something else, rather than leave it for the Xu family!

She realized that this family was full of ruthless people!

These past few days, Xu's mother has been staying home on leave, keeping a close watch on everything, determined not to let her eldest daughter-in-law take even a single needle or thread!

The eldest son and his wife did do some good things; at least Xu's father was promoted to team leader, and Xu's mother immediately got a less demanding job. When they asked for leave to take their child to the train station, their supervisor immediately agreed.

Duoduo could only feel indignant and return the hammer and screwdriver she had secretly borrowed.
