Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Two Things Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Two Things She wanted to use the guise of an “immortal” to create an aura of reverence around herself, so that as long as her grandparents believed this explanation, she could do whatever she wished in the future using the immortal as an excuse.

Jiang Mianmian understood Zhaodi’s reasoning; her situation along with several other girls was truly dire, so as long as it didn’t harm her family, she could pretend to be completely unaware.

Only Su Wanyu looked at the dark and thin Zhaodi with surprise several times, struggling to change her long-held perception of her.

“Indeed, our family now has two child prodigies, truly a blessing from our ancestors,” Zhang Guihua said as she put her palms together and bowed to the east.

After his mother finished praying, Jiang Changhai cleared his throat and said, “Dad, Mom, I also have some good news to tell you.”

“Oh? What good news?” Zhang Guihua asked eagerly, loving to hear positive updates.

“Starting from tomorrow, I’ll be working at the transport factory in our town,” Jiang Changhai announced with pride, his back straight as he beamed.

The Jiang family members, upon hearing this, were all dumbfounded, their faces brimming with disbelief.

Sun Lixia, filled with envy, blurted out without thinking, “Impossible, those factories in the town require at least a junior high school education for their workers. You didn’t even finish primary school, which factory would hire you?”

The Jiang family members were all aware of the employment requirements of the town’s factories, and they too felt that Jiang Changhai was talking nonsense in broad daylight.

Jiang Changhai replied calmly, “Hey, why the rush? I haven’t finished speaking. I’ve been hired as a temporary worker, and they don’t require educational qualifications for that. I bought the lamb both to treat mom and dad to something nice and to celebrate getting the factory job.”

“A temporary worker? Even that is good enough. Eldest, how did you find out the transport factory was hiring? Are they still looking for people?” Zhang Guihua immediately thought of her other two sons and asked impatiently.

“Mom, didn’t I go to a friend’s place for a meal today? I just happened to hear from my friend that the transport factory was recruiting, and since I was idle, I thought of giving it a shot. I didn’t expect to actually get it.”

Jiang Changhai didn’t tell them that he got the job through Yu Cheng’s connections; sometimes less was more.

He didn’t want to be bothered if they wanted to get into the factory and insisted on him asking Yu Cheng for a favor.

After all, favors could be used up, and there was a difference between being offered and asking for one.

Upon hearing that being a temporary worker didn’t require educational qualifications, the second and third branches of the family were immediately interested.

They believed themselves to be more skilled and willing to endure hardship than Jiang Changhai, and if he could get in, they were confident they could too.

In the evening, Zhang Guihua stewed the lamb Jiang Changhai had bought; the fragrant meat was mouth-watering.

The hot lamb satisfied the Jiang family members immensely.

After dinner, back in his room, Jiang Changhe sat on the kang bed thinking about what Jiang Changhai had said earlier and discussed with his wife, “Xiao Juan, I want to try going to the transport factory with big brother tomorrow to see if I can also get in as a temporary worker. Just being able to get into the factory means steady income, rain or shine, receiving money monthly. It’s far better than scrabbling for food in the fields.”

“Yes, I think it’s a good way out too. I see that Changtao is also interested. If the three of you brothers could get in, you could support each other and not be easily bullied,” Zhao Xiaojuan nodded and said.

Zhaodi, however, said, “Dad, don’t go with Uncle to the town tomorrow. The transport factory won’t hire you.”
