Chapter 66: Incitement Successful
Luo Qiuju had just finished washing the family’s clothes when she was called over by her parents and younger brother.
“Mom, I’m still hanging the clothes, why are you calling me?” she asked as she entered the house.
Mother Luo smiled and pulled her over to sit down, “Qiuju, your younger brother is counting on you.”
Luo Qiuju thought her mother was, as usual, asking her to take care of her two younger brothers.
She smiled and said, “Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely take care of them.”
“Then go back to your husband’s family and ask for a spot.” Mother Luo’s face was full of a kind smile.
“Ask for what spot?”
Luo Qiuju had been working from dawn till dusk every day recently and was completely unaware of what was happening outside, so she was a little confused.
Mother Luo looked at her exasperatedly, “The worker spot at the pig farm, of course. Are you saying you don’t want to ask?”
“You just said you would take care of your younger brother. Was it easy for me to raise you? Now that I’m asking you to do something, you’re playing dumb.” Mother Luo’s smiling face darkened.
Luo Qiuju was used to being spoken to like this since she was a child, so she didn’t mind, “What worker spot at the pig farm? Mom, I haven’t been out lately, explain it to me.”
Seeing that she really didn’t know, Mother Luo’s expression softened a little, “Your little sister-in-law is starting a pig farm. She said that not only will they distribute goods like at the oil pressing workshop, but they will also pay wages in the future.”
“I was thinking, since she’s opening a pig farm, she should let your two younger brothers go and help out. It would also be considered as helping your husband’s family.”
It was clearly taking advantage, but in Mother Luo’s words, it was helping them instead.
Luo Qiuju’s heart skipped a beat. She had only just found out that her little sister-in-law had done something so big again.
But she had been kicked out of the house precisely for trying to get a worker spot at the oil pressing workshop for her brother. If she went back to ask for a spot at the pig farm, given her little sister-in-law’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t agree.
She হেসে হেসে said awkwardly, “I can’t decide this. You know how fierce my little sister-in-law is.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Luo slapped her, “You can’t decide? Then why don’t you go back to your husband’s family and fight for it?”
Then she pinched her again, “You gave birth to the Old Song family’s only grandson. You are a meritorious member of the Old Song family. If they don’t agree, then you make a big fuss.”
“If your two younger brothers go to the pig farm, get goods and wages, won’t they remember your kindness as their older sister? They will be able to support you in the future.”
“Second sister, don’t worry. As long as we can work at the pig farm, if the Old Song family dares to treat you badly, we’ll go to their house and stand up for you,” Luo Lao San said.
Luo Lao Si also said fiercely, “That’s right, you just go and make a fuss. We’ll take care of anything that happens.”
They were both driven by self-interest and didn’t like to work. Anyway, they had two older sisters and two younger sisters who often subsidized them.
Now that they heard about the benefits of the pig farm, they were tempted.
They were all relatives anyway, and their second sister was a meritorious member of the Old Song family. What’s wrong with letting them in? It’s only right.
Then they would help manage the pig farm, and the Old Song family would have to thank them.
The two sisters-in-law also chimed in, “Second sister, you are Song Chu’s eldest sister-in-law. People say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so you should act like one.”
“If she doesn’t agree, go outside and say that you’ve been bullied by your little sister-in-law. Ruin her reputation, and see if you can’t control her then?”
Although Song Chu didn’t have a good reputation in the first place, they felt that women still cared about this.
“That’s right, eldest sister, with your abilities, controlling a Song Chu is easy. If she’s unreasonable, you can be even more unreasonable.”
In their minds, Song Chu was still that lazy, notorious, and brainless person.
Being told this by everyone, Luo Qiuju instantly felt confident. She had her family’s support, what was she afraid of?
Her little sister-in-law was indeed tough, but she could also throw a tantrum. What’s wrong with helping her younger brothers get two spots? Didn’t the Song family and the Tang family have several people working at the oil pressing workshop?
If outsiders could benefit from such a good thing, why couldn’t her family?
Besides, wouldn’t it be better to have relatives help out than outsiders?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense. She was a meritorious member of the Old Song family.
◈◈◈
“Alright, I’ll go back and ask for spots at the pig farm for Lao San and Lao Si.” She said firmly.
The Luo family was finally satisfied.
Mother Luo smiled and took Luo Qiuju’s hand, “Mom knew you were the most considerate and capable one.”
“Second sister, we remember your kindness. In the future, we will be your support,” Luo Lao San said.
Luo Lao Si also said, “When I get my wages, I’ll buy clothes and food for you and my nephew.”
They were just saying that to appease her for now. Who would remember this later?
Luo Qiuju was flattered and smiled, “That’s great. Your nephew and I will be counting on you then.”
“I’m going back now.” She stood up and thought for a moment, “I’ll leave Erwa here for now, it will be easier to pressure them.”
The Luo family naturally wouldn’t object, “Right, leave Erwa here. If the Old Song family dares to disagree, tell them they won’t have a grandson anymore.”
This was a sure-fire tactic in the countryside, especially since the Old Song family only had this one grandson.
The Luo family’s incitement was successful, and Luo Qiuju was full of fighting spirit, “Wait for my good news.”
“Alright, go and come back quickly.” The Luo family even saw her off at the door.
In Xiaba Village, Song Chu had just returned home from the pig farm construction site.
In her previous life in the apocalyptic base, besides working at the research institute, she was also responsible for infrastructure construction.
Therefore, she had also learned about architecture. She planned to build the pig farm properly in one go so that it wouldn’t need to be modified in the future.
So she drew up blueprints, asked the villagers who knew how to build houses to follow them, and went every day to guide them on how to do it. If there were any problems, she would have them corrected immediately.
Not long after she returned home, Song Lao Si also came back from the county town.
Taking the water Song Chu handed him, Song Lao Si drank it in one gulp, “Sis, I went to the county town today and asked Boss Hu. He said he can exchange watches for goods.”
Song Chu smiled and asked, “Did he say what he wants in exchange?”
“I told him you’re very good at hunting. He wants you to hunt for meat in exchange. Wild boar, big snakes, pheasants, and wild rabbits are all acceptable.”
“But if it’s pheasants or wild rabbits, the quantity will have to be quite large.”
“Oh, right, he said if you dare to go into the deep mountains, if you can get good medicinal herbs like ginseng, you can also exchange them, and he might even give you extra money.”
He had bragged a lot about his sister’s abilities to Boss Hu. He had told him all about her hunting snakes, killing wild boars, and going into the deep forest.
Boss Hu and the others didn’t quite believe it, but they agreed that she could hunt these things in exchange for watches.
Song Chu thought this condition was acceptable, “No problem, I’ll go to the mountain tomorrow to have a look around.”
“It’s not easy to find ginseng and the like. I’ll see if I can find any snakes or wild boars,” she added.
Song Lao Si grinned, “Wild boars and big snakes are good too. They can show how capable you are.”
This way, Boss Hu and his gang would see that he wasn’t exaggerating or bragging. They would see how sharp his sister was.
