Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 882: Chapter 882: Confirmation

”But, after all, he’s divorced. He’s a single man.”

”Isn’t there anyone else at home? Besides, earning twenty yuan a month is much better than working out in the fields under the sun, and you can always go back after a few years, can’t you?” Wang Shulin really couldn’t do anything about his cousin anymore, thinking she was overthinking.

”But I don’t know how to take care of a child. I’ve only looked after nieces and nephews, and that’s different, right? It’s a newborn baby, and I’m scared.”

”What’s so different about it? The mother will teach you, and we’ll go to the Wang Family’s home together to meet the Vice Mayor. If he’s okay, Fengzhen, you should go. Where else would you find such a good job? Twenty a month, over two hundred a year. They also provide food and accommodation, so you can save all of that twenty yuan.

No sun or rain exposure, what a great opportunity! You’d be a fool to refuse, right?”

Lu Fengzhen was persuaded, thinking working for two years could save over four hundred yuan, which indeed was a good thing.

Aunt Wang, seeing her daughter was moved, immediately took her to her nephew’s house.

Wang Shulin’s wife also served them brown sugar water. While the two women were chatting, the Li Family Brothers sat on the side.

Wang Shulin entered the room, followed by his eldest aunt and cousin.

Aunt Wang immediately took a liking to Li Yunqiao, seeing him as a gentle person, and she knew of him—a very capable man in this area. Meeting him for the first time today, she felt he indeed deserved to be a mayor.

Lu Fengzhen glanced at Li Yunqiao and felt he was quite agreeable. As a leader, he didn’t seem difficult to get along with. It’s a job serving others, and if the host was too fussy, the job wouldn’t be doable.

Li Yunqiao looked at the not-yet-thirty-year-old woman who could be treated like a junior. Her clothes, though tattered, were clean and tidy.

Having such a person at home, at least, he wouldn’t have to worry about cleanliness.

He has always been a neat freak, handling the household hygiene himself since he got married.

”My family usually goes to work, but we have breakfast and dinner at home. It’s just the three of us, and later, we’ll have a child.” If one could eat at home, who would want to eat in the cafeteria?

”Vice Mayor Li, I just want to ask, how long do I have to work?”

Li Yunqiao was taken aback, not expecting her to ask this. ”You can work as long as you want. Even after the child grows up, kids still need to go to school and will need someone to pick them up.

Even if the child becomes independent, I’ll be older by then. If I’m still in the city, you can stay; if I return to the village, then there’s nothing we can do.

Besides, my son’s family won’t just have one child.”

What tempted Lu Fengzhen was the two hundred and forty yuan a year. If she could work a few more years, that would be great. With money in hand, there’s no worry about old age.

”But I’ve never raised a child before.” It’s better to state her concerns upfront.

”You can learn at home first. If you’re willing and have learned some skills, you can come to my house before the New Year, or even after the New Year is fine.

Get used to it first, and get to know the family better.”

Lu Fengzhen nodded, ”Okay, I’ll go. Thank you, Vice Mayor Li.”

”Don’t call me Vice Mayor Li anymore in the future. I found someone from my hometown mainly to avoid trouble. Just say you’re my cousin.”

”Okay, I understand.” But calling him cousin was too awkward for Lu Fengzhen.

”Vice Mayor Li, I taught my daughter in two or three days. I’ve had five children and grandkids, and my daughter has also looked after several nieces and nephews, so she’s not entirely inexperienced.”

”Auntie, if you want to go early, find my second brother in our village, and he’ll take you to the city. From now on, I’ll call you Fengzhen.”

Lu Fengzhen nodded. It’s currently a free time, and earning money was much better than idling at home.

Because of her background, she never wanted to socialize, fearing others would mock her or try to set her up with someone.

Since they agreed, Jiang Xinyu and the two others drove away.

In the car, Li Yungui briefed his elder brother about Lu Fengzhen’s situation.

”She’s a pitiful woman who found her childhood sweetheart, but who knew the man passed away suddenly just half a year after they got married.

So all these years, she’s been living on her own, never returning to her parent’s home, as the in-laws don’t dare to provoke the Lu Family. So she’s been occupying the house, saying she’s guarding it for the man.

But she’s still young, and her family is very anxious. Wang Shulin told us to introduce her to a well-known family.

We found one, but she refused to meet them regardless of what was said.

Eventually, Wang Shulin said it was entirely her decision; his cousin never had such thoughts. However, I heard she was interested in Mr. Lv a while back, but he had already left.”

”The couple was deeply in love, huh?” That seemed to be the only explanation.

Jiang Xinyu knew what was going on; it’s just that no one caught her eye, but she had taken a fancy to Lv Beiguang, who wasn’t interested.

”Second brother, when she finds you, just take her there. The house is too quiet. It’s just the three of us; after work, we all retreat to our rooms. If it weren’t for Hong Lin coming home to eat, I’d just live in the office.”

”Big brother, why don’t you find someone else?” Li Yungui sighed.

”No, I don’t want to bother with it anymore. Once the kids grow up, the house will be lively. Actually, I want Hongling to come home too, but there’s no one to cook for him, nor any way for him to study.” Li Yunqiao sighed after speaking.

When they got to the village, Li Yunqiao didn’t go home. He got on a truck and left.

If it weren’t for taking care of the child, he really had no time to go out. Seizing this opportunity, he made a round trip in one day and could see the kids.

After the Li Family Brothers left, Wang Family’s eldest aunt didn’t leave either, ”Fengzhen, you must seize this opportunity. At least you don’t have to toil under the sun every day. They’ve made it clear; they just don’t want to cause trouble, so when you get to the city, just say you’re alone and came to help your cousin.”

”Mom, I understand. I’m not stupid. If I can work for a few years and have money, I won’t worry about getting old.”

”You silly girl, can’t you take another step? What’s so good about that dead man?”

”Fengzhen, actually, Vice Mayor Li’s conditions are quite good. He’s single, and you’re also alone. If something could happen, it would be great.” Wang Shulin’s wife thought this way since she first saw Li Yunqiao. He’s gentle, courteous, and good-looking, knowing her cousin only liked good-looking ones.
