Through Jiang Yu’s reaction, Jiang Chun could tell that this was Old Madam Jiang’s improvisation again. She had an idea and said, “Then it’s best if you stay at my house. My mother has to work during the day and rest well at night, so she can’t keep watch. My father might have to go to the bathroom at night. It’s best if you sleep on the floor, so you can get up at any time.”

“You must do daily maintenance for him twice a day. You have to help my father exercise his joints every day to prevent muscle atrophy and joint stiffness. By the way, you have to turn him over regularly every two hours to avoid bedsores. Also…”

Before Jiang Yu could figure it out, he heard Jiang Chun’s blabbering. He had yet to even remember the first part, but Jiang Chun kept blabbering on and on. Jiang Yu was befuddled. “Stop, stop, stop! It’s so troublesome. I can’t remember it all. Whoever wants to do it can do it. I can’t do it!”

Jiang Chun nodded in understanding. “You’re a man who does great things. It’s indeed a waste of your talent to stay at home all day to serve others.”

When the eldest son and his wife heard Jiang Chun’s words, they found her much more pleasing to the eye than before.

It was indeed a waste of their son’s talent to serve others, but they could understand Old Madam Jiang’s actions. They knew that it was most likely to trick Jiang Chun into leaving first. If it really didn’t work out, Jiang Yu could come here every few days to put on an act.

Jiang Yu was excited when he heard this. “Of course! Jiang Chun, I realize that you’re quite discerning. With my talent, I have to stay in the city to showcase my skills.”

Jiang Chun replied supportively, “Cousin, you’re more suited to working in an office. To put it bluntly, my father’s job is to check inventory in the warehouse. How bright of a future can you have? All you’ll ever do is deal with a pile of goods. You won’t even have a chance to meet the higher-ups. You won’t even have a chance to show off.”

Jiang Yu felt that Jiang Chun had hit the nail on the head. “That’s right! I had no choice. The recruitment time…”

“Cough, cough, cough!” When Old Madam Jiang heard that things were going in the wrong direction, she hurriedly coughed violently.

Mr. Jiang and his wife also reacted and hurriedly tugged at Jiang Yu’s arm while thinking about how to smooth things over. “Jiang Yu is a child, so let him start from the basics and get some training experience.”

Although Jiang Yu didn’t finish his words, Jiang Chun still remembered the keywords and understood that their eagerness was related to the registration time of the intellectuals being sent to the countryside.

At this moment, Old Madam Jiang also said in dissatisfaction, “Jiang Yu is a down-to-earth child, so he will start from the bottom, unlike some people who are already in charge of the department at such a young age. If people attain success too easily, they’ll become arrogant. For example, a certain someone has only been a small leader for a few months, but she already dares to get aggressive with her elders.”

“I wonder what the factory’s leaders are thinking. How can they choose a woman?! My poor grandson. He has talent, but nowhere to showcase it!”

Sometimes, Jiang Chun was impressed by how deeply-rooted Old Madam Jiang’s misogynistic mindset was.

She was clearly a woman herself, but no matter what she said, she always discriminated against women.

Jiang Chun was already used to it and retorted calmly, “Grandma, then I’ll swap places with my cousin. I’ll give him the position of a small leader in the countryside. I believe that with my cousin’s participation, the food factory will definitely be raking in money every day! Since I don’t have the capability, I’ll just make do with staying in the city.”

Old Madam Jiang immediately spat. “In your dreams!”

Jiang Chun smiled insincerely and said, “Grandma, you made it sound so good that I really thought I got a bargain.”

Although it was summer, the cold air on the floor still seeped into Old Madam Jiang’s body through her clothes. Her legs began to feel a little uncomfortable, and she became frustrated.

Seeing how stubborn Jiang Chun was, Old Madam Jiang knew that she wouldn’t be able to achieve anything even if she continued to argue with her, so she didn’t want to waste time talking to her.

Old Madam Jiang targeted Jiang Wu again and said angrily, “Don’t say that I didn’t give you a choice. Either give Jiang Yu your job or let Jiang Chun buy a ticket back to the village immediately.”

Jiang Wu didn’t want to choose either option, but when he saw his mother sitting on the ground with an unyielding attitude, he was also in a dilemma. The room fell silent.

Jiang Chun sighed. Her father was too filial. Fortunately, ever since her malnutrition incident, he had started to think more about his family, so there was still hope.

Jiang Chun looked at Old Madam Jiang, who was already fidgeting a little. She knew that she definitely wouldn’t be able to hold on for long. Therefore, she couldn’t let her get up immediately. Otherwise, once she recovered, there was no telling how long she would cause trouble in their house.

“Grandma, don’t make things difficult for my father. He’s most worried about your health, so aren’t you forcing him to compromise?”
