ng Yajun, not wanting to see ng Jingfen, swiftly found her a job at an electronics factory the very next day.
To shut ng Jingfen up, he arranged for her a relatively complex job that paid as high as three thousand five hundred.
General employees made less than two thousand, and so even just a few hundred, so three thousand five hundred was definitely a high salary.
Many people wanted it but couldn’t get it.
Of course, these were people who could endure hardships, only fearing they wouldn’t get the chance.
That is to say, this job was actually quite rare.
ng Yajun got Fu Hongfang a job in a restaurant kitchen cooking rice.
It was just cooking rice, and although she needed to cook several hundred kilograms every day, the task was simple, the salary was one thousand five hundred, and it included three als, which made it quite worthwhile.
The places where they worked were very close to each other, less than two hundred ters apart.
ng Yajun rented a small unit for them nearly in the middle of the area.
One kitchen, one bathroom, one room.
Although small, the electronics factory had a cafeteria, and although they had to pay for their als, the charges were very low, with breakfast costing one yuan and both lunch and dinner only two yuan each for a quite satisfying al.
The mother and daughter only needed to cook during holidays.
ng Yajun thought they should be satisfied.
But unexpectedly, while they were satisfied with their jobs and the location of the rental, ng Jingfen complained that the rental was too small.
She loudly rebuked ng Yajun, "Are you even human? You live in such a big, nice house, yet you rent such a tiny place for Mom and , one that’s not even as big as your bathroom. Don’t you feel any guilt?"
ng Jingfen was really angry; not only was the room smaller than ng Yajun’s bathroom, it was also very run-down.
It looked truly shabby.
ng Yajun sneered, "When I first ca here, I had it even worse than you, having to share a place with five people. If I could endure it back then, why can’t you? And you ask if my conscience hurts. Do you know how much rent I pay for this tiny room a month? It’s two thousand.
Do you know how much a regular person earns a month? Around one thousand five hundred.
So, if Mom weren’t here to accompany you, she wouldn’t have to stay, and you could live in an even more cramped workers’ dormitory. I wouldn’t have to spend two thousand every month on this."
ng Jingfen grew even angrier and shouted loudly, "Back then you were poor, and of course, the poor must endure hardship, but now you make twenty thousand a month. You have money to rent a good house for , so why don’t you?"
ng Yajun looked at her, speechless for a mont, and then asked Fu Hongfang, "Mom, do you think this way too?"
Fu Hongfang quickly shook her head, "No, I don’t. I know you’re saving money to buy a house for marriage, but Jingfen has had a rough few years, so please be a little more accommodating towards her."
Fu Hongfang also felt that the house was a bit too small, and she hoped that ng Yajun would rent a place with two or three rooms so that she could bring ng Jinhua and her little son over.
She had initially thought that ng Yajun would do it on his own.
Later, she realized he hadn’t, and she had intended to have a proper talk with him, but hadn’t anticipated ng Jingfen’s temper to be so explosive.
ng Yajun felt cold in his heart and scoffed, "She’s had it tough, who hasn’t? Do you think I had it easy getting to where I am today? Moreover, is her suffering for my sake? If not, why should I accommodate her? Bottom line, I have limited capabilities and can only do so much for you all. You can choose to stay or leave, and if not, you can go back to Hai City."
He said this and was about to leave when ng Jingfen angrily cursed, "ng Yajun, you’re heartless."
ng Yajun turned and laughed, "Am I as heartless as you? You, always trying to take advantage of others, you little... scoundrel."
ng Jingfen hadn’t expected ng Yajun to speak to her like that.
Instead, it frightened her into losing her temper.
She said nothing more and scurried off to the bathroom, pretending to use the toilet.
