Chapter 331: Chapter 331 Choices, Don’t Be Confused

Luo Qiao said with courtesy, "Just consider it an early New Year’s gift. In a few days, I’ll be heading back to Capital City for the New Year."

Yao Lili pouted and said, "Oh, look who’s come to show off."

It was one thing to be polite, maybe twice, but without a third or fourth, Luo Qiao had her temper too. "Sister Lili, you’re really disappointing," she said.

Yao Lili wanted to retort, but she was already dragged out by Yao Chengxuan, who angrily said, "If you have no shame, we still want to save face, can you leave us some?"

Luo Qiao truly didn’t want to stay any longer. She swore that unless there were special circumstances, she would never step foot in the Yao Family’s house again; she was utterly fed up with Yao Lili.

After taking a deep breath, Yao Chengxuan calmed himself down and said, "Luo Qiao, I’m sorry about that. Let me apologize for her on behalf of the uncle."

Luo Qiao merely smiled faintly in response, took out the things she brought and placed them on the table, then gathered up her net bag.

Only then did she say, "Uncle Yao, first, I wanted to see how you and Auntie Yao were doing, second, to bring these things for you to try, and third, I know Brother Pengfei works at the pharmaceutical factory, and by a stroke of luck, I’ve gotten a slot for a permanent position."

As she spoke, she took out the approval slip, "It’s no use to me, so I might as well give it to Brother Pengfei. With it, he can apply for housing from the factory and you all can live a more comfortable life."

The Yao family heard this and reacted with a mix of bewilderment, excitement, skepticism, and disbelief; none of them had a normal reaction for quite some time.

It was Yao Pengrui who reacted first, coming over to look at the approval slip in Luo Qiao’s hand and exclaiming, "It’s real, a permanent position at the pharmaceutical factory! Brother, you’ve struck it lucky, you can really become permanent now, and that means your salary will increase a lot, right?"

Yao Shuangshuang pulled on her babbling second brother and said, "Second Brother, if you don’t know how to speak, then shut up."

Luo Qiao’s lips twitched, thinking if her brother had struck dogshit luck, then what was she?

Now Yao Chengxuan also came around, and said solemnly, "We really can’t accept this."

At that moment, Yao Pengfei, having recovered, stepped forward and asked, "Luo Qiao, what you said earlier is true?"

Luo Qiao handed over the slip directly. Yao Pengfei’s heart ’thumped, thumped, thumped’ as if beating a drum. After reading the approval slip, he actually broke out in a sweat.

Yao Chengxuan frowned disapprovingly at his eldest son, then turned to Luo Qiao and said, "Luo Qiao, this item is too valuable; you’re not working yet, maybe you don’t understand what this approval slip represents?"

Luo Qiao laughed, "I’m still in school right now. All my relatives are in Capital City. This thing is of no use to me. I came today especially to bring this over, so please keep it."

Yao Pengfei, afraid that his father would refuse it and that the slip might slip away, clutched it tightly and said softly, "Dad, how about this? Since Sister Luo Qiao has brought over the slip, and I really need it...

I heard in the factory that a permanent position costs five hundred yuan. Let’s buy this slip with money, that way we won’t let Sister Luo Qiao suffer a loss."

Yao Lili, eavesdropping outside, was amused by the conversation. If her brother became permanent, wouldn’t that mean a position would open up, and couldn’t she also work at the pharmaceutical factory?

So, disregarding the previous unpleasantness, she pushed the door open and said, "Dad, don’t be confused. This is about Brother’s future, about our family’s future livelihood.

Once Brother gets a stable job, he’ll have more options for marriage. As soon as he becomes permanent, he can apply for housing at the factory and even a marriage house when it’s time to get married. Dad, this is such a good thing."

Wu Peiling stood to one side without speaking, but her palms were sweaty, eyes fixed on her husband, afraid that his straightforwardness would lead to another rejection. Yet thinking about the five hundred yuan her son just mentioned...

She was conflicted; firstly, there wasn’t that much money at home, and secondly, her eldest son was not young anymore. If his job became stable, he would certainly have to consider marriage soon. If they spent all their money on this approval slip, her son’s marriage would have to wait another year, and she was almost frantic with worry.

Luo Qiao had remained silent all along; she just wanted to see what kind of relationship this family would choose with her in the future, ordinary acquaintances or a total break-off, and what kind of decision Yao Chengxuan would finally make.
