Chapter 212: Chapter 212: The Female Supporting Character’s Mother Pulls Out Work to Tempt Him

Yun Xiaoxiao had no idea that some aunts had already started discussing her.

She even thought Mother Yun had come to take her back to the city.

When Mother Yun saw those loess houses and the many children wearing patched cotton-padded jackets, she noticed that the children would call out upon seeing Da Bao and Xiao Bao.

"In the village, people live off the land. The mountain behind us is vast. In spring, there are lots of wild vegetables; in summer, there are plentiful mushrooms; in autumn, there are various wild fruits and nuts; in winter, if you’re lucky, you can encounter pheasants and hares when it snows."

Wild vegetables and mushrooms?

These things can be bought with money.

What people work hard for a whole year to obtain in the countryside can be earned in the city in just two months—or even less.

Mother Yun continued patiently persuading, "Do you want to stay here, turning your back on the sun?

Want me to go back to the city?

"If you want me to return, I can, but I must take my family of four with me. When the time comes, have Dad and my eldest brother find us two jobs, preferably with residency in the city. Can you manage that?"

She had rejected the idea several times already, so why wouldn’t they listen to what she said?

It was time to act like the female supporting character.

You want me to go back to the city? Well, I will, but not alone. I’ll bring my family of four with me, and we must have two jobs.

Mother Yun hadn’t expected Yun Xiaoxiao to make such a demand.

Not only to bring her whole family of four back to the city but also to find jobs for them.

These days, jobs are like carrots - there’s only so many holes.

She couldn’t possibly step down and give up her job for Xiaoxiao, could she?

Mother Yun thought about how she was still young.

But if Xiaoxiao returned to the city without a job, wouldn’t she be better off continuing her life in the countryside?

She could give her job to her daughter; her own husband earned a decent monthly wage after all, and it wouldn’t be long before the eldest son’s family moved out.

But as for that bumpkin son-in-law, she was unwilling to acknowledge him.

And she certainly wouldn’t find a job for him.

How should she persuade her daughter?

It seemed like only a job would work.

Mother Yun looked at her daughter, who was calm and unflustered.

She would wait to discuss this until her grandsons weren’t around. How could she bear to see Xiaoxiao stay in the countryside forever? That just wasn’t acceptable.

"Do you need to look around some more?"

Mother Yun shook her head, "No need, let’s go back."

As soon as they got home, Yun Xiaoxiao had Da Bao and Xiao Bao go to her room for a nap.

Suddenly, it was just the two of them left in the Zhao family home.

"Xiaoxiao, if you come back with mom, I’m willing to give you my job. You’re still young and don’t realize the hardship of staying in the countryside forever. I don’t want to see you regret it," Mother Yun reasoned earnestly.

Perhaps she saw that her daughter Yun Xiaoxiao’s current life wasn’t very good.

Perhaps there was also the principle of fragrant from afar but foul up close.

Give her the job?

Did she think Xiaoxiao was so easily fooled?

The job of the female supporting character’s mom was coveted by others.

If she really took it, she feared all the kin of the female supporting character would feel shortchanged.

She did not want to carry that burden of obligation.

Her earlier words were also to deter Mother Yun from continuing her persuasion.

But now Mother Yun was tempting her with the prospect of a job.

"Have me go back alone?"

Mother Yun gently continued, "You go back first. Once you’re settled, then you can have your husband bring Da Bao and Xiao Bao to the city."

Do you think I would believe that?

No good deed goes unpunished, no uninvited favor is genuine.

"If you want me to go back to the city, I must bring the three of them with me—Dad and the boys. Mom, you haven’t lived in the countryside; you don’t know how hard life can be here. But no matter how hard it is..."
