Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 294: World of Ages 46: Job Lost

Gu's parents made up their minds that they couldn't keep this son with them. Although it was a little late, it was still much better than later.

"Old Gu, go see if you can find a house for them tomorrow and let them move out!"

Mother Gu was really angry. She didn't expect that her son was such an ungrateful person.

Father Gu was not in a good mood either. He leaned against the wall, drinking water and nodding calmly!

Keeping these two around would only make them angrier by the day.

So it would be best to take advantage of the opportunity and drive them out.

Anyway, these two people are not young anymore, and it’s time for them to go out and be independent.

Since the second brother and his wife can live well on their own, it doesn't make sense that the eldest brother's family can't.

Whether they are sons or daughters, they are all debts. Staying away from them may help them live a better life!

Neither of them showed it, so Gu Jilin always believed that his parents had agreed to all his requests.

They were urged openly and secretly to find furniture tickets, sewing machine tickets, and bicycle tickets.

After all, these are all what Luo Qiuxin asked for, and none of them can be missing.

Mother Gu glanced at her son and said, "Ji Lin, you've been working for such a long time. How about I give you this ticket?"

"How could I possibly get so many tickets?"

"You don't have this ability, but I do?"

Gu Jilin finally realized that his parents were angry, and then he whispered, "But you clearly agreed before..."

"When did we agree to this?"

Gu Jilin gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that he thought his parents had already agreed, so he made a promise to Luo Qiuxin.

I didn't expect that his parents would suddenly quit. Where would he find so many bills?

Gu Jilin had no choice but to rush to find Luo Qiuxin, hoping to resolve the matter.

Luo Qiuxin disagreed a thousand times. She had finally come back to the present and thought she could live a happy life. However, she didn't expect that even if she asked for such a small thing, the other party would just make excuses!

Luo Qiuxin couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she should not have registered for marriage with Gu Jilin just to come back. Now she was being controlled by his family and couldn't even ask for more betrothal gifts.

After the baptism of later life, Luo Qiuxin did not think that he wanted too much, because these were basic and ordinary things. Moreover, the Gu family's situation was not bad, so it was no problem to come up with this money.

Therefore, she simply thought that the Gu family was unwilling to pay this money because they saw that she was already married and therefore no longer valuable.

Although I don’t know how much money Zuo Zhizhi and Gu Jiqing spent on their wedding, it was definitely not less than this.

Although he was extremely dissatisfied, the marriage still went on.

After all, the two have already registered their marriage, and now at best they are just holding a wedding to let the neighbors know about the new daughter-in-law.

Even if it was just to save face, the wedding of the two was still done in a proper manner.

Of course, the one who was trying to save face was Luo Qiuxin, because she was not satisfied with the betrothal gift. The other party only gave her 88 yuan, and this was something she had to beg and cajole to get.

As for the three turns and one ring that he wanted, there was nothing new to add besides what he already had.

This made him even more dissatisfied. He originally thought that he got married to gain face, but he didn't expect that he was just ordinary, no different from other people!

But in the eyes of others, this marriage is still very impressive!

Not to mention that the Gu family decorated the new house early and installed a full set of furniture in the room, even the betrothal gift given to the Luo family is worthy of praise.

It’s just that the information asymmetry between the two sides caused everyone to be very dissatisfied.

Especially after the others left, Luo Qiuxin's expression became very obvious.

But she also knew that she had not found a job yet, so the most urgent thing was to get the job as soon as possible.

"Mom and Dad, we finally got married, but it's been so long and we don't have any money, so I think I'd better go to work quickly, otherwise it's not a good idea to eat plain rice at home every day!"

Gu's father and mother did not say anything. Instead, they looked at Gu Jilin. Seeing that he lowered his head and refused to speak, they spoke lightly.

"So what kind of job do you want?"

Luo Qiuxin obviously didn't understand what Gu's mother meant. After all, in her opinion, didn't she still have the salesperson job that had been agreed upon before?

Since she thought so, she naturally said so.

But his parents snorted coldly: "You think this is picking cabbages? It's good enough that they can keep you for a few months. I didn't expect you to come back after a year. Who would keep a job for so long!"

Mother Gu didn't look too happy. They had gotten this job with great difficulty and originally wanted to give it to the second son's wife, which would be considered respectable.

It’s just that I have already said it, but the boss’s family specifically asked for this salesperson’s job.

At that time, they were blinded by greed and did not expect that the eldest brother's family was such a bad person. Therefore, they agreed without hesitation and asked the second brother's family to make concessions.

Thinking of this, Mother Gu couldn't help but get angry: "How dare you say that! We said you would be back soon. We happily renovated the house for you, let the second son and his family move out, and even kept your job. But after so much time, there's still no response. If you hadn't called us every day, I would have thought something had happened to you."

When Luo Qiuxin suddenly heard that she had lost her job, she was immediately dissatisfied, but after hearing what her parents said, she was able to suppress her anger.

"Mom, how can you say that? We're both over there, and haven't we finished handing over our work yet? That's why we're delayed!"

"And why did the promised job suddenly disappear? Did you give it to someone else?"

Mother Gu snorted coldly, and she became even more furious when she saw Luo Qiuxin's indifferent attitude towards superiority or inferiority.

"Handing over your job? That sounds better than anything else. Who would wait over a year to hand over their job? You said you wanted to come back at the beginning of last year, and we prepared a house for you right then and there. We even had your wedding supplies ready, and we even arranged jobs for you in advance!"

"You've been so good! There hasn't been a single word from you in over a year! That's a sales job! It's a popular job for everyone. I've been trying to save my reputation by telling them to wait a few more months, but you keep putting it off. How can I find another sales job for you?"

When Mother Gu thought of this, her face turned even uglier.

The boss had said at the time that he would return, so they thought of leaving this job to him, as a compensation for his hard work away from home for so many years.

In the end, it was all in vain!
