Chapter 222 Refusing the Work Arranged by Old Master Gu (2/2)

On the contrary, fools are easier to manipulate.

After she marries into the family and has children, won't she be the one calling the shots in the Feng family?

From now on, the Feng family will all belong to Feng Yuanbao, who is the only son. Isn't Feng Yuanbao's child Xiaoya's child?

Xiaoya laughed out loud on her way home.

After arranging her marriage with Feng Yuanbao's aunt, she felt like she was floating on air.

Around lunchtime, Grandma Jiang went to the kitchen and saw that Xiaoya hadn't even turned on the stove. An hour had passed, and she was still holding a pile of vegetable leaves, grinning foolishly.

She was too lazy to ask, but the people who were going to work would be coming back soon and would need to eat.

So she called Xiaoya out, put on an apron, and started cooking.

Xiaoya was still immersed in the joy of her upcoming marriage and couldn't pull herself out of it, thinking about how to tell the Gu family about it during dinner later.

Will the Gu family agree?

It doesn't matter anymore. Even if they disagree, she's going to marry him anyway. This is her only chance.

After Qin Shuman and the other two returned, Grandpa Gu also came out of his study and sat down at the dining table.

Xiaoya's job has been secured; they just gave her a reply.

He didn't really want Xiaoya to stay at home for too long; having an outsider in the house was always inconvenient.

"Xiaoya, your job has been secured. You will be a family planning officer at the Linjiang Road Subdistrict Office."

You can pack your things and go report for duty tomorrow. The dormitory will arrange everything for you; just follow their instructions.

Grandpa Gu really put a lot of effort into arranging this job for Xiaoya.

Xiaoya didn't receive much education, and she simply couldn't handle complex jobs such as clerical or financial work, or technical jobs.

Even if you use connections to get her in, she'll still have a hard time because she's illiterate and doesn't understand technology.

The family planning workers in the neighborhoods are different. They have a respectable job, some power, and they don't need any special skills. All they need to do is be able to talk and communicate with people.

The most basic task is to fill out a form with numbers indicating how many children someone has.

After much consideration, this studio was the best fit for her.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoya asked, "The neighborhood office?"

Although she didn't know what a neighborhood office was, the address didn't suggest it was located in the military area.

She wanted to stay in the army.

"Grandpa Gu, can you arrange a job for me in the military? I might not be able to go to such a far place right now."

"Inconvenient? Why is it inconvenient?"

Grandpa Gu was surprised that Xiaoya was unhappy with her job. He couldn't understand what was bothering her.

"The neighborhood office provides staff dormitories and a canteen, and the salary and benefits are good. It's a great place, but many people want to go but can't."

Xiaoya was determined to stay in the army and even felt that Grandpa Gu was deliberately making things difficult for her.

"Let me be frank with you. I'm going to marry Feng Yuanbao. After we get married, I'll be living in the family compound, so it won't be convenient for me to go to work at the neighborhood office."

"What? You mean marriage?"

"Feng Yuanbao? You're going to marry Feng Yuanbao?"

"Are you kidding me? Feng Yuanbao has a disability, and he's over thirty and still hasn't found a partner. What are you thinking, a perfectly fine young woman like you?"

The Gu family was startled and completely baffled.

Has Xiaoya gone mad?

If the Feng family were truly a good place to live, Feng Yuanbao wouldn't still be single at such an advanced age.
