Han Ze is simple, honest, filial, and stubborn. This is the impression he gives to everyone.
Such a character is easy to be ignored and not easy to please others. When Han Ze was a child, Mrs. Han once disliked him because of his character, and even tried to make him livelier, but failed.
Later, when Father Han passed away, Han Ze’s honesty and filial piety made Han’s mother-in-law taste the sweetness. She found that among several children, only this honest eldest son listened to her the most and worked wholeheartedly for the family. The other children more or less had their own little thoughts and her most beloved youngest son and daughter were no exception. At that time, she was very fortunate to have such an honest and filial son as Han Ze. Although his personality was not pleasing, as long as he listened to her in everything, she felt that she had someone to rely on in the future and she was satisfied.
In the morning, she and Xilan left the old house angrily, but the eldest brother acted as if nothing had happened and still asked Zhaodi to send them meat. This shows Han Ze’s filial piety to her. If it were the second and third children, she knew in her heart that they would definitely not be as good-tempered as the eldest brother.
Thinking of this, she had confidence in asking the eldest brother to pay for Xilan to find a job. With the eldest taking the lead, the second and third sons would pay some money even if they were unwilling. So, after lunch, she asked her grandson to call Han Ze and his wife over. While the three sons were all there, she had a good talk with them. Brothers and sisters should help each other, and they should help their younger sister to get through this difficult time.
When the three sons and their wives were all gathered, Mrs. Han told them that they needed to collect money to find a job for Han Xilan. After that, she stared at the three sons and their wives. Han Ze and his wife didn’t react much, and their expressions were almost the same as when they came.
Han Hai, Han Yang and their wives had the same reaction on their faces. When they heard her words, they were all dissatisfied.
Mrs. Han’s face sank: “Why are you all silent?”
Han Hai and Han Yang looked at Han Ze. He was the eldest brother, so he had to speak first at this time. Han Ze glanced at his two younger brothers and let him do the offending things, but he still spoke, because he was the eldest.
“Mom, as a brother, helping our sister and pay for her to find a job. It’s actually nothing.”
As soon as Han Ze’s words came out, Han Xilan and Mrs. Han’s faces lit up. Han Hai, Han Yang and their wives were full of regret. If they had known that their eldest brother would say this, why would they let him speak first?
Han Ze touched his nose and continued, “But mother, Old Blind Han told my younger sister that she is the most promising among us brothers and sisters. Since my younger sister is the most promising, if we brothers pool our money to find her a job, will it delay her…”
Mrs. Han: “…”
Han Xilan: “…”
Han Ze continued, “Mom, people say that there is bitterness before sweetness. My younger sister has graduated from college now. She is much better than many rural girls. With the fortune told by the Old Blind Han, why should she worry about finding a job? I believe that as long as my younger sister works hard, it is only a matter of time before she gets promoted and gets rich… Besides, if my younger sister was supposed to be in this unit, and we pay to get her to another unit, what if my younger sister has a greater chance of promotion in this unit than in other units? Wouldn’t that destroy her original destiny? ”
Mother Han was stunned by what her eldest son said, while Han Xilan’s face turned pale.
Han Yang breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes turned, and he said with a smile: “Mom, eldest brother is right. Old Han said that my sister has the most promising future, but this has to be achieved through her own hard work. If we help my sister solve everything, won’t that harm my younger sister?”
Han Xilan looked at the third brother and curled her lips: “Third brother, you should know…”
Han Yang looked at the younger sister with a smile and asked: “What should I know?”
Han Xilan stopped talking, feeling very aggrieved. The third brother clearly knew what Old Han said, but now he used that to block her. It was obvious that he was relying on her not daring to tell the truth and was fearless.
Han Hai quickly agreed: “Yes, yes. College students are assigned jobs. Whatever job my younger sister is assigned to, she should just go to work. Why bother to spend money to find other jobs? Besides, even if you spend money, you may not be able to find a good job. What if that job is not suitable for my younger sister? … What’s more, Old Blind Han said that my younger sister will have a promising future. Gold can shine everywhere. I believe that my younger sister can have a promising future even if she works in a bad unit. ”
Han Xilan: “…”
Mrs. Han came back to her senses and pointed at them: “So, you don’t plan to pay?”
Han Yang stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Han’s arm: “Mom, like my Eldest brother said, we don’t need to pay for my younger sister to find a job. After all, she has a promising future. No matter which unit she works in, she will develop well. You can rest assured.”
Han Hai said: “Yes, mother.”
Mrs. Han glared at her two sons, looked at Han Ze, and asked: “What about you? Do you think so too?”
Han Ze nodded and said sincerely: “Mom, my younger sister is a college student, she is capable and promising. Do you really have the heart to let us spend money to buy her a job and ruin her life? Besides, it is wrong to spend money to buy a job. We can’t do this.”
Han Hai followed and said: “We are doing this all for the good of my younger sister. Mother, you don’t know anything, don’t hurt my younger sister. It’s not nice to say that you paid for a job. What will others think of my younger sister? She has been in college for so many years, and she still needs family money to find a job?”
Han Ze continued, “Mom, my younger sister was able to get into college on her own, so she will definitely be able to get a good job on her own. Let’s just let nature take its course. After all, Old Han is not talking nonsense about my younger sister having a bright future. We just need to wait for her to have a bright future. If we interfere too much in my younger sister’s work, what if we change her fate?”
Han Xilan clenched her fists. If she couldn’t even get an ideal job, what kind of fate could she have?
Han Ze emphasized, “We are all farmers. Who knows if paying for a job is illegal? ”
Han Hai was shocked. Han Yang’s job was bought, so he didn’t think it was a big deal.
Mrs. Han was upset. She didn’t think buying a job was illegal. She was filled with remorse. Why did she team up with Old Blind Han to cheat several children just to let her daughter go to school?
Han Ze was honest and filial. If she proposed that they let the brothers pay for Xilan’s schooling, they would probably agree even if they were unwilling.
In that case, the eldest brother would not believe that he would have no son because of Old Blind Han’s words. They would also help Xilan with her job, and there wouldn’t be so many issues. Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
When she fainted, Han Ze and the others were in a panic. Some pinched the Ren Zhong point, some looked for doctors…
Mrs. Han fainted and lay in bed for a few days. Her lie not only harmed her eldest son, but also her youngest daughter who went to college. The more she thought about it, the sicker she felt, and the angrier she became. In the end, she really fell ill. The eldest and second daughters who were married were alarmed.
The eldest and second sisters of the Han family knew the reason for their mother’s illness, and they were dissatisfied with their youngest sister. They were honest farm women. They didn’t care whether the Old Blind Han was telling fortunes or not, and they didn’t care whether it was true or not. In their opinion, the three younger brothers were married and had children, and they had their own families. They could also support their youngest sister to go to college, which was a very rare thing.
The younger sister is a college student and is more capable than many rural girls. After graduation, how can she have the nerve to ask her three brothers to pay for her to find a job? Will she be satisfied only if the three brothers spend all their money on her?
They think the younger sister is greedy and now that their mother is sick because of this, they are even more dissatisfied with the younger sister and even blame her for being ignorant.
Faced with the blame from her brothers and sisters, Han Xilan dared not mention the matter of finding a job. She could only accept the job assigned by the original school with bitterness and be a teacher in Shuangji High School.
