Chapter 340: Chapter 366 Spending Money to Find a Job?
Speaking of reconciliation, it was really just Yang Yun calling Sun Chan to apologize. No one knew if it was sincere or pretend, but Sun Chan accepted Yang Yun’s apology, without any intention of meeting or dining together.
Now, neither of them seeks the other out. Previously, Yang Dongfeng wanted to arrange a meeting between them, but Yang Yun was unwilling to go and wanted Sun Chan to come to the house. After Gu Juntao returned from a business trip, he took his wife home. To thank Sun Chan, he found her several catalogs and magazines, and the clothes in them kept Sun Chan captivated, drawing material and leaving no time for other thoughts.
Anyway, as the older sister, isn’t it expected for the younger sister to visit? But there were many demands, like not bringing Gu Junming and bringing a gift: "Didn’t I say I was working at the clothing factory? Sending a few outfits wouldn’t be bad, right?"
Sun Chan didn’t want to face Yang Zhen and was busy herself, so when Yang Dongfeng mentioned it once, nobody agreed, and it was not brought up again.
Zhao Jieyun often met with their daughter, and Yang Dongfeng feared if he went, the elder daughter might overthink it, so he didn’t meet with Sun Chan, nor did he want Zhao Jieyun to go: "You don’t have to go every week; once a month is enough. The elder daughter won’t be pleased."
Zhao Jieyun was very angry: "Is it such a big deal for me to see my younger daughter? Now that the two sisters have reconciled, why aren’t you thinking about how to mend their relationship instead of setting such clear boundaries? What’s the reason?"
"Alright, it’s not a big deal."
"What do you mean it’s not a big deal! Sun Chan is about to start school, and you haven’t seen her the entire vacation; is this what a father should do?" Zhao Jieyun stormed off angrily.
Sun Chan didn’t care; she viewed these things with a calm demeanor. After all, she had her mother, Gu Junming, and so many friends. How happy she was! Every day she thought about fun things and had no time to think about these matters.
The two mostly met at Han Dong’s factory, so Sun Chan didn’t have to run back and forth.
Previously, Sun Chan invested her earnings in the factory, so she had a sense of ownership and reported daily, designing clothes and sewing garments.
Of course, she wasn’t a factory worker; she was to first create the patterns for her designs, find the issues, modify them, and finally correct them for production.
After their last meeting, Sun Chan made a piece of clothing for her mother,
a light blue fabric blouse with a knee-length black skirt, very elegant and poised. The fabric was also very nice, giving an airy feeling when worn.
Zhao Jieyun liked it very much, changed into it immediately, and when she returned home, Yang Yun saw it and complained she wanted one too: "Mom, you always buy clothes for me, why did you only buy for yourself this time? How selfish of you!"
Zhao Jieyun said: "This is made by Sun Chan for me, and you agreed last time to go work, why haven’t you gone yet? When you have money, you can always buy nice clothes. You’re over twenty now; when can mom also spend some of your money?"
But Yang Yun just pouted, indifferent.
Zhao Jieyun could only sigh; although her daughter admitted her mistake, she felt like nothing had really changed.
Previously, they had found a school for Yang Yun to study early childhood education, but Yang Yun insisted she didn’t like children and didn’t want to study early childhood education, asking her father to find her a job; she also promised to work hard. Mainly, she didn’t want to be a kindergarten teacher, as that would be losing face to that bitch, Yang Zhen.
Zhao Jieyun and her husband asked around and found a job at the post office, but it turned out to be too exhausting. After working only one day, they felt back pain and couldn’t endure it, so took a leave and never returned.
Yang Dongfeng was now asking around to see if he could find a job at the Women’s Federation, which should be relaxed; besides conveying messages and attending meetings, it involved organizing files. Even the picky Yang Yun was tempted. The job was good; it was considered a leadership position, making matchmaking easier. Her educational background wasn’t great, so this was the best treatment.
Unfortunately, the job was hard to land; the person they were asking for help from subtly hinted at wanting a benefit, asking for at least thirty thousand to arrange this job.
Zhao Jieyun and Yang Xiong firmly refused! Why should they! Buying a job with money, and such a huge sum too. Now if she joined, the monthly salary was a bit over a hundred; it would take years to earn that back!
Yang Yun was angry: "The family doesn’t lack that much money. Grandpa was a leader for so many years; there’s no way he doesn’t have thirty thousand! I’m your only child; what’s more important, thirty thousand or my job!"
"Yang Yun, indeed there’s more than thirty thousand saved at home, but that’s not just for us! It’s left by your grandfather for you, to support the wedding of the Sun Chan sisters! If you use it now, what about the future? Your uncle and aunt won’t be happy either."
"I don’t believe it... "
"Besides, your internship salary is only eighty; it’s hard to support yourself. Which family doesn’t have some spare cash, but giving it all to you, what about our family? Moreover, who knows if that person really can arrange for you to get in? What if it’s a scam; I’m against it, and your grandfather doesn’t agree either. Don’t be so unreasonable!" Zhao Jieyun pleaded earnestly.
But Yang Yun was determined, convinced that her mother and grandfather were partial, unwilling to find work for her. She talked to her father, but Yang Dongfeng didn’t have money either, and when he started to explain, he was shut down.
"That money can’t be given to her!"
Yang Dongfeng struggled: "Actually, I think Yang Yun has a point. If she has a good job, it’s easier for Yun’er to find a partner..."
Yang Xiong irritably interrupted him: "Everything you’re saying is nonsense! I just don’t understand! Why is Yang Yun the only failure among the Yang family’s three children! Yang Zhen found her job and partner without such difficulty, everything went smoothly! Even Sun Chan, from the countryside, with no ability or background, she found a partner and job smoothly, and now she’s even got into school. How did you educate your daughter? Tell Yang Yun to keep wasting her time, just find someone to marry and be a housewife, give her a dowry of ten thousand! But don’t dream of spending money to buy a job! Don’t count on the Yang Family to support her! Giving money is a kindness, not giving is my duty; don’t force me anymore!"
These words Yang Dongfeng dared not tell his daughter, but knowing the family wouldn’t give her money, she sulked all day without eating and started a cold war with her mother.
In a flash, it was mid-August, only a dozen days until school started. Afterwards, the time to work frontline would be limited, and she had been preparing for school these days.
Yang Zhen was also using her summer break to work in the factory. She was now going out with Liao Dongyuan, and things were going quite well; she had already told her parents and grandfather, but hadn’t said who it was, just mentioned he was a soldier, unsure how to explain the rest.
The person set up with Yang Yun was already dating someone, so she could only bear it.
