Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Why Are You Asking So Many Questions?

The father and son spoke on the phone for almost four to five minutes before hanging up together.

Big Brother Kang walked back home as if he had wheels of wind and fire under his feet. As soon as he saw Third Brother Kang, he said cheerfully, ”Third brother, your nephew has got a job in North City, and he got it all by himself. He said the place is called the Cultural Work Troupe.”

”...”

Third Brother Kang was stunned and before he could respond, Big Brother Kang had already whirled away like a gust of wind.

”His mom! His mom!” Stepping into the kitchen and seeing Third Sister-in-law Kang there, Big Brother Kang’s smile faded a bit. After greeting Third Sister-in-law Kang, he told Elder Sister-in-law Kang and Third Sister-in-law Kang, ”Yangyang has got a job in North City, he just passed the exam today, and the unit is called the Cultural Work Troupe. Oh, and Yangyang also said he might get to act in movies!”

Elder Sister-in-law Kang, holding a rice spoon, dropped it with a ”clang” upon hearing the news. She slowly turned her gaze towards Big Brother Kang as if in slow motion and asked, ”I didn’t quite catch that, could you repeat it? What happened to Yangyang?”

It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard clearly; she feared she was hallucinating and wanted to confirm it once more.

”Yangyang passed the exam for the Cultural Work Troupe. It’s a formal position, and he’ll get a salary every month, including rationed grain!”

Big Brother Kang repeated clearly.

”Third sister-in-law! Did you hear that? Yangyang has got a job in North City!”

Snapping back to reality, Elder Sister-in-law Kang excitedly grabbed Third Sister-in-law Kang’s hand, ”It’s Yangyang who passed it himself. He’ll be like his little uncle, eating rationed grain in North City!”

Third Sister-in-law Kang was naturally happy for her nephew, ”I heard it, I heard it, it’s a huge celebration, congratulations to you, big brother and sister-in-law. Our Yangyang is truly capable!”

The few kids playing in the yard jumped for joy when they heard Big Brother Kang’s good news, thinking that their big brother, just like their little uncle, had secured a job in North City, and would surely send them delicious snacks.

After all, the little uncle had followed their little aunt’s example and sent them things before. There was no reason for big brother to have a job and not send them snacks and little toys.

The very next day, almost everyone in Aoli Village knew about the good news from the Team Leader’s house.

Indeed, after lunch, with some time left before the afternoon work, the gossip-loving women gathered in small groups to talk about the good fortune that had come out of the Team Leader’s house.

”How does that Yangyang manage to be so talented? Heading off to North City, he even found a way to apply for something like the Cultural Work Troupe, and he actually got in!”

”I don’t believe for a second that Yangyang found that opportunity all by himself.”

”It must have something to do with Li Bao!”

”Eight to one, it was Li Bao who helped.”

”So what if it was, so what if it wasn’t? Either way, that kid Yangyang is now eating rationed grain!”

”What’s there to envy? If your own kid went to North City, he’d definitely be able to pass the Cultural Work Troupe exam and start eating rationed grain and earning a salary.”

These words were spoken by Xu Chunxia’s mother.

At first listen, it seemed like a casually spoken sentence, but upon closer inspection, it was full of sour grapes.

Li Daniu: ”Keep being sour, Xu’s family!”

”How am I being sour? Is it that your kid, given the chance, would be too dumb to pass?” Mrs. Xu asked, staring at Li Daniu.

”Why bring up my kid when we’re talking about the Team Leader’s family affairs?”

Li Daniu was not pleased. She said, ”Who in our village doesn’t know that you’re looking for a second husband for your Chunxia? But even though you’ve been looking, you haven’t found anyone yet. Maybe you’re being too picky?”

Wang Chunhua: ”What’s there to be picky about? Xu’s family, your Chunxia’s reputation is what it is. It’d be good enough if you could just marry her off quickly and not end up stuck with her at home.”

Mrs. Xu: ”Tsk! Your daughter is the one who’s going to end up stuck at home!” Filled with frustration, Mrs. Xu lost interest in further idle chatter and headed home.

North City.

Wu Yue, with a heavy sigh, looked at her cousin Lin Dan, ”Why are you asking so many questions?”
