Qiao Zuwang sat on a chair and cried for a long time. Seeing that no one cared about him, the four children were doing whatever they were supposed to do, and the conversation was quite lively.
"Brother, you will graduate from graduate school in the second half of the year! Have you thought about what you will do in the future?"
"My mentor recommended me to intern at a TV station. I plan to be a reporter in the future."
"Provincial Taiwan or city Taiwan?" Wang Gang asked.
"Provincial TV station, I will start as an intern reporter, and I will become a regular reporter in three months."
"That's pretty good. I know the deputy director. Do you want to help you connect?" Wang Gang said with a smile.
"No need, my tutor has made arrangements. I don't need to take a test and can enter Taiwan directly. With my master's degree, I can earn five to six hundred yuan a month after becoming a full-time employee. If I travel for interviews, there will be subsidies."
"You studied literature in college, and you are destined to write in the future. The job of a reporter is very suitable for you."
Qiao Simei interrupted and asked: "Brother, will you interview celebrities in the future?"
"I want to do social news and I won't meet celebrities." Qiao Yicheng thought for a while and said.
Qiao Simei said excitedly: "You can always meet the TV host! Can you get me an autograph?"
"This is fine. I'll ask for it if I get a chance." Qiao Yicheng readily agreed.
"By the way, I bought some tofu and I'll share it with you."
Qiao Yicheng took out a large bag of tofu and distributed it to his younger brothers and sisters. Even Qiao Qiqi received two pieces and asked him to take them back to his aunt's house later.
"Brother, why did you buy so much tofu?" Qiao Simei looked at the dozen pieces of tofu in front of her and asked in confusion.
"I recently found a tofu shop. The owner is honest in his business and the tofu is delicious, so I bought more." Qiao Yicheng said subconsciously.
"I never thought you liked tofu before?" Wang Gang said as he took the tofu.
Qiao Zu stopped crying immediately when he saw the four children leaving him to dry and sharing the tofu.
"You kids, why are you so heartless? Do you really want to see your old father die?"
Wang Gang sneered and said: "Good people don't live long, but harm will last for thousands of years. Don't worry, old man! Your appearance will make you live a hundred years."
Qiao Zuwang said angrily: "I don't even have the money to buy rice now, and I still owe a huge debt. What else can I do if I don't die?"
Qiao Yicheng said speechlessly: "You only owe a few hundred yuan. Find a job and you can pay it off soon."
When Qiao Zuwang saw someone talking to him, he suddenly became energetic and complained: "I also want to work! Isn't my original job gone?"
Wang Gang said with a cold face: "You still have the nerve to mention it. I put a lot of effort into finding a job for you in the sports team. You just refused to do it. I can't even explain it to the people in the team."
Qiao Zuwang licked his face and approached Wang Gang and said, "Can I still go back to work in the sports team?"
Wang Gang frowned, covered his nose and said, "What makes you smell so bad?"
Qiao Zuwang said with a bitter face: "I haven't taken a shower since the Chinese New Year, how can I not smell?"
"Why don't you take a shower?" Wang Gang fanned the air and kept a certain distance from Qiao Zuwang.
"I want to take a shower too! But the door is blocked by creditors every day. Where can I take a shower?"
Qiao Zuwang asked pitifully: "Why don't you go back and talk to the leader and let me go back to work!"
"Don't think about it. The salary of the sports team is so good. The guards can get two hundred a month, and they also have food and accommodation included." Wang Gang sneered:
"To tell you the truth, if you step forward, someone will take over your job the next day, and you will never be able to go back."
Qiao Zuwang cried again: "Then what should I do? I don't have a job, my savings have been defrauded, and I still have a few years until retirement. How can I live my life like this!"
Wang Gang sneered: "You have hands and feet, can't you go out and find a job by yourself?"
"I'm over 50 years old, so how can any employer want me?" Qiao Zuwang said.
Qiao Yicheng frowned and said: "You used to work as an electrician in a factory, so you have skills, so it won't be difficult to find a job!"
As long as you survive these few years, life will be easier after retirement."
Although Qiao Zuwang was laid off, he did not buy out his seniority. When he turns 60, he will receive his retirement salary.
After all, Qiao Zuwang didn't want to endure hardship and wanted his son to find an easy and profitable job. It would be great if he could have children to support without working.
"I've taken care of you for more than 20 years. Now that I'm old, it's time for you to take care of me!" Qiao Zuwangtian said shamelessly:
"Boss, you can earn five to six hundred yuan a month from your future work. It won't be difficult to give me one hundred yuan for living expenses!"
And secondly, you can earn tens of thousands by shooting an advertisement, so give me two hundred a month, which is not much!
Sanli is in school, working part-time, and if she pays a little less every month, she can always get out of fifty!
When Si Mei becomes an adult, she will also give me fifty yuan a month."
Qiao Zuwang settled the accounts on his fingers, which made Qiao Yicheng very angry.
"Old man, do you really not know or are you just pretending to be confused? Don't you have any idea how our brothers grew up?"
Qiao Yicheng said: "If Erqiang hadn't had the ability to fish when we were young, we would all have starved to death. How can you have the nerve to say you raised us!"
Qiao Zuwang said confidently: "Before you went fishing, I didn't support you. Besides, I paid you living expenses every month. What, do you want to admit it?"
If you have the ability, let’s go to the neighborhood committee and argue, and then we’ll see who loses face.”
Wang Gang clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to give Qiao Zuwang a shot of secret energy.
Living with this kind of scourge is a waste of food.
"Old man, who did you learn this craft from? The living expenses you gave us before are not even enough for our tuition." Qiao Simei said angrily:
"If my second brother hadn't paid for our tuition these years, we wouldn't even be able to go to school."
"Then I don't care. Anyway, I used to provide money to support you, and now it's time for you to repay me." Qiao Zuwang said shamelessly.
Qiao Yicheng snorted coldly: "It's not impossible for us to pay, but it's impossible for you to want so much every month."
Qiao Zuwang was unconvinced and said: "You all make so much, why don't you give me some money?"
Qiao Yicheng said: "It's our business whether we can make money, it has nothing to do with you."
"Without me, where would you come from?" Qiao Zuwang said stubbornly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qiao Yicheng knows that the old man is tough and not soft. The more he talks nicely to him, the more he gets angry.
"The second strongman has paid too much for this family, and he also has to support his younger brothers and sisters in studying. It is impossible to give you money." Qiao Yicheng said directly:
"There is no need to discuss this matter, otherwise you will go to the neighborhood committee. You let an eight-year-old child earn money to support the family. Let's see what the neighborhood committee says."
Qiao Zuwang shrank his neck and knew that he was being unreasonable.
If things really get messed up, Wang Gang will have a good reputation for taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, and he, Qiao Zuwang, will be in infamy for eternity, and he might even be accused of child abuse.
"From now on, I will give you fifty yuan for living expenses every month. Sanli and Simei are in school, and each of them will give you twenty yuan. I will temporarily pay this money on their behalf."
"Send away the beggar!" Qiao Zuwang stood up excitedly and shouted: "Ninety yuan a month is not enough for me to drink."
Qiao Yicheng said coldly: "You have the hands and feet. If you find a job, plus the living allowance we give you, it will be enough."
Qiao Zuwang said: "Ninety is too little, at least two hundred a month, you have one hundred, three beauties and four beauties are fifty each."
Wang Gang said coldly: "You are not old enough to raise children yet. If you continue to make trouble, my eldest brother will not give you a penny. You will still have to pay Simei and Qiqi's child support."
"Why?!" Qiao Zuwang said with wide eyes.
"Just because Simei and Qiqi are not yet adults, as a father, you have the obligation to support them," Wang Gang said:
"If you refuse to support her, we can go to court to argue."
Qiao Zuwang's momentum weakened, and he lowered his head and settled an account.
Ninety a month, find another job, earn a hundred or so, no problem.
If I really fall out with my children, I won’t even get 90 yuan, and I’ll have to pay child support.
"Okay, ninety is ninety, but after Sanli Simei works, you must give me fifty every month. This money cannot be less." Qiao Zuwang said.
Qiao Yicheng and Wang Gang looked at each other and felt that the money was not much, so they should just pay it out, so as not to cause any trouble to the old man again, so they should use it to buy peace of mind.
"Okay, in that case, let's make a document and sign everyone's names to save you from regretting it later or temporarily increasing the price."
Qiao Zuwang thought for a while and decided to give each child fifty yuan, which would be two hundred a month later. Although the second son would not be given any money, it was still a lot.
"Okay, let's create a written document." Qiao Zuwang readily agreed, and then found paper and pen.
Before Wang Gang wrote the note, he said: "Fifty per person. This price has been set and cannot be changed. Whoever reneges will be responsible."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Zuwang asked confused.
Qiao Simei rolled her eyes and said, "It means that if you want to increase the price in the future, we won't give you a dime."
Qiao Zuwang thought about it and didn't feel anything was wrong, so he quickly wrote the document.
Qiao Yicheng vaguely felt that something was wrong. Prices in the city had risen sharply in the past few years. Two hundred yuan seemed like a lot now, but it might not be worth much in a few years!
Wang Gang secretly gave Qiao Yicheng a wink, telling him to see through it without telling him.
