Chapter 390 Luo Yanni
Chapter 390 Luo Yanni
Upon hearing Zhou Jing's words, Luo's mother felt somewhat uneasy again.
His tone softened, and he said to Luo Yanni, "Go and try it first, and then resign if they hire you."
Luo Yanni bit her lip and said, "Mom, I tried it a few days ago, but they didn't want me."
Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that it was good that she was quick-witted.
It's impossible for Luo Yanni to work for Lin Yuyao. She still has to go to school. The workload at Lin Yuyao's place is too heavy. It's not as easy as working at the bookstore.
Mother Luo: "What? You can't even get a job as a cleaner? How can you be so useless? You brat, I told you girls are useless if they study. Look, after all these years of schooling, you can't even be a cleaner."
Luo Yanni was so scolded that she dared not speak.
Zhou Jing said, "Sister, don't blame Yanni. It's not that she's not good enough, it's just that she's too old."
"What? They require an age limit to hire a cleaner?"
"Yes, I asked their boss, and they plan to hire an older woman who can endure hardship. She will not only have to clean, but also move things every day, and she needs to be strong."
She looked down at herself; she was broad-shouldered and strong, and she felt she could endure hardship.
Do you think I'm suitable?
Zhou Jing: "..."
"Then are you educated?"
“Of course, I graduated from elementary school, I can recognize all these characters.” She looked at it again and said, “Huh, I’m only in my early forties, but they want someone under forty-five, it’s like it was tailor-made for me. Manager Zhou, what do you think of me?”
Zhou Jing's lips twitched violently. "I can't make that decision. How about... you go upstairs and try?"
Mother Luo was overjoyed, "Great! I'll go try it right away."
As soon as she turned and went upstairs, Zhou Jing quickly called the upstairs apartment.
Ye Xiaotong answered the phone, and as soon as the call connected, Zhou Jing said, "Luo Yanni's mother is up here. She wants to apply for a cleaning job. You should figure out how to refuse her."
Luo's mother climbed the stairs very quickly. Ye Xiaotong had just relayed this to Lin Yuyao when she saw that she had already climbed up.
Downstairs, Luo Yanni was extremely worried, "What should we do?"
Zhou Jing patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I believe Yuyao can handle it."
"Sigh!" Luo Yanni sighed deeply.
"Sigh!" Zhou Jing sighed as she looked at her.
Her mother-in-law was the one who caused trouble, but her mother-in-law wasn't her mother, so Zhou Jing wasn't afraid at all.
Her husband wasn't home, and her mother-in-law dared to cause trouble, so she argued back and forth with her. She didn't care if they fell out.
But this is my own mother.
A mother who favors sons over daughters constantly exploits her daughter. She's only seventeen years old. What can she do?
"This can't go on, Jenny, have you thought about what to do?"
Luo Yanni said, "I will take the school exam next June. If I pass, I will go to school."
She never gave up for a single day, and studied diligently whenever she had time.
She bought and read all the new books this year, not many like last year.
With her teacher's help, she memorized all the knowledge perfectly, and she believed that she could succeed.
What if your family doesn't agree?
Zhou Jing felt that the biggest obstacle was her family.
Luo Yanni said, "My teacher suggested that I live on campus. Anyway, if I apply to live on campus, I only get one day off per month. Where can't I go on that day? If it's winter or summer vacation, I'll go to work. I won't go back home."
Zhou Jing nodded. "Alright, if you really have nowhere to stay, come find your sister Zhou. I have a room for you to make do with."
As she spoke, Luo Yanni smiled, as if the road ahead had become bright.
"After I finish high school, I'll apply to a university in another city. If they don't like me, fine, I'll never come back."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered Lin Ping.
"Brother Linping said that parents can't just go to his school. If his parents want to visit him, they have to write an application first."
"seems like it."
"That's it then. Otherwise, I'll apply to military academy in the future, so they won't be able to see me even if they want to."
Zhou Jing smiled with relief, "That's right. You see, as long as you're willing to work hard, there are plenty of ways."
Luo Yanni nodded hurriedly, thinking back to a month ago when she almost died.
Because her parents wanted to buy a house, but they didn't have enough money.
Someone introduced them to a 28-year-old man, who was 11 years older than her.
He said that as long as she was willing to marry him, he would provide the money his family needed to buy a house.
If it weren't for the neighbors all coming to persuade me, saying that housing prices are high now and will drop, and that I should wait a little longer.
Besides, the older man doesn't give much, and the children are working and can earn money for the family, so waiting a couple more years is more worthwhile.
She's too young, not even old enough to get married, so they won't issue her a marriage certificate.
If it weren't for the help of her neighbors, her parents probably would have tied her up and taken her to the old man's house.
Having parents like these is truly the worst luck imaginable.
Upstairs, Lin Yuyao also listened to the story of Luo Yanni's mother.
Well, it does fit all the criteria, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Lin Yuyao knew all about her deeds. She gave birth to Yaozu just before the one-child policy was implemented, and the whole family doted on Yaozu.
The first two daughters were really unlucky, especially Luo Yanni, who, as the eldest daughter in the family, became the first to be exploited.
They came to cause trouble just last month, saying they wanted to take Luo Yanni back to marry someone else.
Who should she marry? He's only seventeen.
Ye Xiaotong was surprised to hear this. She thought that such things only happened in remote mountains and forests. She didn't expect that they could happen in big cities.
Later, upon asking, it turned out that Luo Yanni's mother was someone her father met when he was sent to the countryside.
Her grandfather was quite capable and used some methods to get the whole family back to the city.
However, her grandfather had passed away many years ago, and the family had fallen on hard times.
Lin Yuyao asked Luo's mother some simple questions and found that her thinking was similar to that of Ye Xiaotong's mother.
How could she dare to keep someone like that around?
"Okay, I understand. Go back and wait for further notice."
Luo's mother's smile froze. "Is there something I'm lacking?"
"No, you meet all the requirements."
"I knew it! You were made just for me."
"Auntie, yes, so please go back and wait for our notification."
"If everything is suitable, why do we still need to wait for notification?"
"I see. There are many qualified people, but we only need one. We need to select the most suitable one from among the qualified people, so you need to go back and wait for our notification."
Luo's mother pouted, "It's so troublesome to be so picky about hiring a cleaner."
Lin Yuyao smiled but didn't say anything, instead gesturing for them to proceed.
“My daughter works downstairs, you must choose me so I can go to work with her.”
"Okay, Auntie, we'll try our best to consider you."
Mother Luo then left happily.
As soon as she left, Song Qin came over.
"Yuyao, I thought you would give her a difficult problem directly and make her give up."
She thought so.
"It happened so suddenly, I can't give her a difficult problem on the spot, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if she succeeds."
