On the other side, Xia Ru was waiting anxiously when Li Jin returned home. When she saw Li Jin return, she quickly came over to welcome her.

“Grandma, how was it?”

Li Jin frowned. “Xia Wan is really shameless. She happens to know someone, and she thinks she’s capable. She actually said that she wants me to get you a chance to work in the factory in the south, but we have to foot Xia Hai’s medical expenses first.”

Song Yan, Chen Lian, and Xia Ye also came over and expressed their opinions after hearing this.

Song Yan naturally sided with her daughter, Xia Ru. She calculated in her heart and said, “If Xia Ru can work at the factory, she can transfer 400 yuan a month to her home. That would be 4800 yuan a year. I remember that she only owes 3000 yuan for Xia Hails medical expenses. As long as Xia Ru can work at the factory, she would be able to make more than that in less than a year.

“Besides, Xia Hai owes the hospital 3000 yuan. It’s been so many days since then. Xia Wan’s stall is packed with customers every day, and they must have made a lot of money. Didn’t you hear that Yan Han joined them at the stall, selling clothes?”

What she meant was to let Xia Ru go to class first.

Chen Lian was unhappy when she heard this and immediately retorted, “Sister-in-law, I don’t agree with what you’re saying. Your Xia Ru wants this opportunity, yet you want our family to pay for Xia Hail s medical expenses. We don’t mind if your family takes the money, but the money can’t be taken out of our family’s pooled assets.

“Getting this job is good for Xia Ru, but Xia Ye is still studying and doesn’t need such an opportunity. Why should our family pay?

Xia Ye nodded as well. “That’s right. I’m still studying. There will be plenty of opportunities to earn money in the future. You guys aren’t my concern. Our family doesn’t have money now, so we’re just trying to get a job for Xia Ru.”

Song Yan and Chen Lian showed no sign of caving in to the other, and another quarrel erupted.

“Shut up!” Li Jin shouted impatiently. “I’m here to discuss things that haven’t been decided yet. Why are you arguing? Are you happy to be a laughingstock?” As soon as Li Jin said that, they immediately stopped arguing.

Chen Lian said, “Anyway, our family doesn’t have money. You can do whatever you want as long as you don’t use out common assets. If Sister-in-law’s family has money, then let her pay for it.”

It was rare for Xia Yu to go up to Li Jin and butter her. “Grandma, all the money at home is supposed to be mine. I want to eat meat and buy nice outfits. I won’t spend on women. Grandma, didn’t you say that they are all losers and I am your good grandson?”

After Xia Yu said that, Xia Ru and Xia Ye’s expressions turned ugly.

Song Yan knew that there would be no result from the dispute now, so she said, “Mother, let’s leave this matter at that for now. I will discuss it with Xia Ru. I know that you have tried your best to help us.”

Seeing that Song Yan had taken the initiative to give in, Li Jin’s expression softened a little. “Okay, then you people discuss it. If there’s still money, send it all to Xia Wan. With this job, Xia Ru can earn more money in the future.”

“Yes.” Song Yan brought Xia Ru back to her room.

Xia Ru’s face was full of unwillingness. “Mom, I want to go to work. The salary there is high, and the people there don’t know about me. I can make a good living there and find you an outstanding son-in-law.”

Song Yan sighed and said, “I want you to go too, but the problem now is Xia Wan. You can see that Xia Wan is not relenting at all. Liu Shi, who has been causing trouble for Xia Wan, is now in prison. Mom heard some news about you and Liu Shi after I came out. Don’t go and cause trouble for Xia Wan directly. What if you are also at the police station? What will Mom do?”

Xia Ru nodded. “I know, Mom. I didn’t expect Xia Wan to be such a ruthless person. No matter what, Liu Shi grew up in the same village as her, but she’s so merciless.”

Xia Ru leaned closer to Song Yan. “Mom, how much money have you and Dad saved? Is it enough to pay for Xia Wan’s medical expenses?”

Hearing Xia Ru mention money, Song Yan immediately became nervous.

She wanted her daughter to go to work because she wanted her to be the family’s breadwinner, not because she wanted to give her money..
