Chapter 15 A Happy Ending

Chapter 15 A Happy Ending

Yao Shula watched as Master Sun took out the two large net bags he was carrying.

"Two jars of cream cookies. You're still kids, you should like them. They're from Shanghai!"

There are also two packets of malted milk powder. Shuxin and Shuli are growing, so it's good for them to drink this.

There are two more packs of White Rabbit candy; you can share them.

Here are two packets of steamed sponge cake, two packets of sesame cakes, and two jars of canned mandarin oranges—all things you kids love to eat.

As Master Sun took things out, he smiled and chatted with Yao Shula and her two siblings.

Yao Shula waited until Master Sun had taken everything out before asking with a smile.

"Aunt Sun! Why did you bring so many things?"

This... is too much!

Master Sun, however, pulled Yao Shula's hand and sat down beside her.

Yao Shuxin quickly poured a glass of water for Master Sun and brought it up, then took Yao Shuli to play in the yard.

Aunt Sun brought so many things; she must have something very important to discuss with my sister.

She and her younger brother are children, so it's better if they're not around.

Otherwise, Aunt Sun would be difficult to talk to.

And so, only Master Sun and Yao Shula remained in the main room.

Master Sun held Yao Shula's hand and thought for a long time, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Yao Shula isn't in a hurry either!

Sometimes, it's best to wait for others to speak up.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, Master Sun finally took Yao Shula's hand and spoke.

"Shura, your mother has left. What are you thinking? If you want to work in the factory, then hurry up and get in."

If you don't want to work in a factory...

Aunt Sun came today to discuss something with you. If you don't want to work in the factory, could your mother's position... be given to our family?

Don't worry, Aunt Sun didn't take that position for nothing; we paid for it.

"We pay according to the market rate," Aunt Sun said softly.

Yao Shula chuckled inwardly.

Unexpectedly, the leaders of the machinery factory acted quite quickly! It seems they have already decided to fire Song Yuling.

In order to cover up the fact that Song Yuling was improperly promoted to a permanent position in the past, they now need to quickly promote someone else to a permanent position...

But in order to avoid any future worries, I can only appease myself first.

As for who to appease and whose family members to promote, the factory has really thought about it seriously!

Yao Shula looked at Master Sun in front of her.

This person is my mother's colleague; they even studied under the same teacher and had a good relationship.

When Schumann collapsed at work, Master Sun was heartbroken for a long time and was among the first to come to the Yao family to help with the funeral arrangements.

After Song Yuling openly began seeing Yao Guohua, Master Sun stopped coming to the Yao family's house.

"Aunt Sun, what are you saying? I don't quite understand!"

But...aren't your two sons already working at the factory?

The eldest son took over his uncle's position, and although the younger son is currently on a temporary basis, you can retire in two more years.

"Back then, it would have been the same if your youngest son had taken your position!" Yao Shula said deliberately.

Master Sun sighed.

"Shura, I've watched you grow up, so there are some things I won't hide from you."

Besides those two debt collectors, don't I also have a daughter? She's the same age as you.

My husband and I have given all the work to those two debt collectors, but what about our daughter? I can't just abandon her!

We had originally saved up some money to give as a dowry to our daughter.

I originally thought that even if my daughter didn't have a good job, she would still be able to hold her head high in her husband's family with a generous dowry!

But now that I think about it, no amount of dowry can compare to a secure job!

Think about it, she has a stable, full-time job, goes to get off work every day, and gets paid every month. Doesn't that give her more confidence?

so……

Shura, Aunt Sun is only saying these things to you because she considers you her own child.

If you want to work in the factory, just pretend Aunt Sun didn't say any of this.

If you don't want to work in a factory... how about we transfer this position to your company?

"Once my youngest son gets a permanent position, I'll apply for retirement next year and give my position to my daughter. That way, I won't have any worries." Master Sun looked at Yao Shula cautiously.

Yao Shula looked at Master Sun, feeling a mix of emotions.

Actually, this is the kind of person who truly thinks about their children their whole life!

"Aunt Sun, you really love your daughter!" Yao Shula whispered.

"I gave birth to it, it came from my body, how can I not feel heartache?"

I originally thought that since my two troublemakers had both gone to work in the machine factory, it would be impossible for my daughter to get a job there too.

For the past few weeks, I've been planning to send my daughter to the textile factory when they start hiring temporary workers.

Now that Song Yuling incident has happened at the factory...

Shura, I'll tell you a secret: Song Yuling has lost her permanent employee status and has gone back to being a temporary worker.

The official explanation given was that his improper conduct had damaged the reputation of the machinery factory.

so……"

Master Sun looked at Yao Shula.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shula realized it was exactly what she had thought!

"Aunt Sun, now that you've said that, I really envy your older brothers and sisters. They have parents like you and Uncle who care about them so much!"

Aunt Sun, I'm not going to the factory for the time being.

"Shuxin and Shuli are still young, and the family can't be left unattended. I'm the older sister, and I promised Mom I would take good care of my younger siblings," Yao Shula said softly.

Master Sun immediately relaxed.

She hurriedly pulled a thick kraft paper envelope from the inside pocket of her cotton-padded coat.

"Shura! Aunt Sun said that as long as you agree to give that opportunity to our family, we will definitely do something in return."

The black market price for a regular employee is equivalent to three years' salary.

My youngest son earns 38.5 yuan a month now, so I'll just calculate it as 40 yuan a month.

Three years is 1,440 yuan.

Here's a thousand yuan, and another four hundred and forty yuan. I'll bring it to you tomorrow.

"Is this alright?" Master Sun said, pushing the envelope towards Yao Shula.

"Aunt Sun...this...isn't that inappropriate?"

"The factory won't agree!" Yao Shula said deliberately.

"Whether the factory agrees or not is my business. As long as you agree, I'll handle everything else!"

But Shura, you'll have to write me something in writing later.

"So you're voluntarily giving up the job that would have taken your mother's place at the factory? That... should be okay, right?" Master Sun asked.

Yao Shula nodded immediately.

There's definitely no problem! She hadn't originally planned to work in a factory.

Young people entering the factory all have to start in the workshop first. The workshop is so tough, Yao Shula couldn't stand it.

Besides, she's at the factory every day, how can she take care of her younger siblings?

What if they go astray again?

When Master Sun saw Yao Shula nod in agreement, he immediately felt relieved.

"Shura, you've really done our family a huge favor!"

I don't even know how to thank you...

"Okay, from now on you'll be my goddaughter. Anyone who dares to bully you is going against the Sun family." Master Sun immediately promised.

“Then… thank you, godmother!” Yao Shuli immediately accepted the offer.
