Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Looking for a Job

Shen Mianmian took Zhu Yun to another restaurant, hoping to get her a job as a waitress serving dishes, but Zhu Yun complained about not wanting to serve tea and water.

"If you don’t want this job or that job, then you should go work in a factory," Yang Xiaoxi said. "There are some garment factories around here, the pay isn’t bad, and they like hiring young girls like you, plus food and accommodation are included."

"I don’t want to," Zhu Yun flatly refused. "Those places barely give any days off each month, and the hours are too long."

In reality, Zhu Yun wanted to act in films like Yang Xiaoxi, naturally looking down on those kinds of jobs.

"Then tell me, what can you do?" Yang Xiaoxi was furious with Zhu Yun, finding herself yelling every time she spoke to her.

Zhu Yun thought for a moment and said, "We’ve been out for more than two hours, I’m tired to death. How about we just go back and rest for a while? What’s the rush! It’s not like a day or a half-day will matter."

"No." Yang Xiaoxi insisted on finding her a job. "You have to find a job and move out today, otherwise I’m buying you a ticket back home."

Zhu Yun was angry, but helpless, so she said, "Then find me something closer to where you live."

Shen Mianmian thought for a while and had an idea, "There’s a restaurant near the neighborhood. If you don’t want to serve tea or water, then go wash dishes! The pay is okay for a month."

"Washing dishes?"

Zhu Yun looked disdainful.

"That’s settled."

Yang Xiaoxi didn’t care about her opinion and asked Shen Mianmian to lead the way, as the three of them headed directly to the restaurant.

The restaurant was hiring dishwashers. Seeing that Zhu Yun was neat in appearance and likely efficient, they agreed to take her on with food and accommodation included, paying sixty a month.

Zhu Yun initially didn’t want to do it, but upon hearing about the sixty yuan, she agreed.

In Licheng, a month’s pay was thirty yuan; here, it was double. Moreover, washing dishes was simple and not mentally taxing.

Once the job was settled, Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi helped Zhu Yun move her things to the lodging provided by the boss and even bought her two large cotton quilts.

Upon entering, Zhu Yun immediately disliked it.

The tiny space could only fit one bed, there was no bathroom, the wall plaster was peeling and old, clearly from many years ago, and it probably even leaked when it rained.

Compared to Shen Mianmian’s house, it was like heaven above and a stinking ditch below, utterly incomparable.

"How can anyone live in this house? I don’t want to stay here." Zhu Yun’s eyes reddened and she suddenly cried, "Cousin, I came all this way and you’re making me live here? Even beggars wouldn’t want to live in this."

"If you have money, you can rent a place yourself. I have no objections." Yang Xiaoxi stood firm, "You’re here to work and earn money, not to enjoy yourself. Stop thinking about living in a nice, big house all the time. If you want to live in one, you have to rely on your own abilities."

If Zhu Yun had been a bit more diligent and not so difficult, Yang Xiaoxi believed that Shen Mianmian wouldn’t have minded letting another person move in, but Zhu Yun herself was disappointing.

Even if Mianmian permitted it, she wouldn’t allow it; she simply didn’t have the leisure to support someone idle.

"Are you still my cousin?" Zhu Yun cried heavily, "You live in a nice place, eat well, drink well, and you set me up in a place like this, how can someone live here?"

Yang Xiaoxi was not swayed by her act, "Stop making a fuss, Mianmian and I still have school to attend. We’re leaving now, you better tidy up and hurry to work!"

After that, she pulled Shen Mianmian and they both walked away.

Zhu Yun’s cries could be heard from behind; her steps did not even pause.
