Chapter 965: A Greedy Family
Translator: Lonelytree
Because of the large number of people the Green Fresh group recruited this time, the HR department was swamped. Resumes came from all over the country. From several ten thousand people, only a few hundred were selected.
Therefore, the human resources department had to scan and select thousands of resumes every day.
The higher-ups had given the order, and it was better to have quality over quantity.
An Xiaohui, who was mainly in charge of human resources, was so busy. She wished that the twenty-four hours could be turned into forty-eight hours.
On the other hand, she was also troubled by the troubles at home.
Although her father had cut off relations with her, An Yang and her second uncle’s family would definitely not be willing to give up on her because An Xiaohui was a gold mine.
On the surface, An Xiaohui’s second uncle and aunt criticized An Xiaohui for being cold-blooded and heartless. However, when they saw their relatives and friends now, they cried and complained that father and mother An looked down on their family and looked down on An Yang. This was because their daughter was working in a big company, became rich, arrogant, and so on.
In fact, they did not blame An Xiaohui. Instead, they blamed everything on father and mother An. This was because they knew very well that father and mother An would feel guilty. Then, they would think of ways to squeeze more money out of An Xiaohui.
An Xiaohui was a daughter, so why should she be more valued than An Yang. An Yang was a boy, and he was the root of the An family. They had to firmly trample An Xiaohui under their feet. They absolutely couldn’t let An Xiaohui rise above An Yang. Otherwise, An Yang’s parents’ property might be snatched away by her.
They had been able to constantly get money from Father and Mother An, but when they proposed Father An to transfer their county house to An Yang, he hesitated. He said that he would do it later in his life.
When grandfather and grandmother An were still alive, they also persuaded father and mother An to transfer the house to An Yang. In any case, their house and property would all belong to An Yang in the future.
Fortunately, An Yang’s parents were not soft-hearted on this point. This was because they had seen a lot of such situations on television. Many sons would be obedient before they got their hands on the houses. However, after the house was transferred, they immediately turned hostile and chased their parents out.
Father and mother An were also worried about this situation. Moreover, the person they wanted to transfer the house to was not their son but only a nephew.
......
Although they treated this nephew as their own son, they knew very well in their hearts that An Yang had his own biological parents. He would not treat them as his parents at all. He would only treat them as ATM machines.
Moreover, An Yang usually did not treat them very well. Even when he asked them for money, his tone was very bad. He did not treat them like his step-parents.
Therefore, An Xiaohui’s parents were very firm about the fact that they would only transfer the house after they died.
After An Xiaohui rejected An Yang’s parents’ request to arrange for An Yang to work in the company, they wanted to force Father and Mother An to pressure An Xiaohui to compromise.
Fortunately, An Xiaohui, under Xiao Lingyu’s advice and after discussing with her boyfriend, Xiao Wang, immediately called her parents and told them about her idea.
After receiving the call from their daughter, Father and mother An calmed down to think about this problem.
Mother An asked in disbelief, “Old man, what did she say on the phone?”
Father An smoked a cigarette. After a moment of silence, he said, “Xiaohui said that in the future, the first boy she gives birth to would be surnamed an. In the future, this child will take care of us.”
After hearing this, mother An also fell silent.
After a moment, mother An became a little hesitant. She said, “Could it be that Xiaohui wants to find a man to be a live-in son-in-law?” As she said this, she immediately shook her head, “No, this is not only embarrassing for us but also for the son-in-law.”
Father An took a puff of his cigarette and said with a slightly disapproving expression, “If we don’t agree to this, what other choices do we have?”
If they didn’t have any descendants with the surname An, their lineage would be cut short.
Even if they might be looked down upon by others, they would rather have a descendant to continue the family line.
Father An thought for a moment and said, “Previously, we placed our hope on An Yang, but we forgot one thing. What if we have a grandson with the surname an?”
Mother An asked hesitantly, “Why don’t we ask Sister-in-law? In the future, perhaps An Yang will let us adopt one of his sons.”
Father An shook his head and said, “With the character of second brother and sister-in-law, they definitely don’t allow that.”
The rural ideology was that the more descendants, the better.
An Yang was the only child of the An family. They valued him very much. Unless An Yang gave birth to five or six sons in one go, they wouldn’t be able to let An Yang’s son be adopted by them as their grandson.
Mother An fell silent again.
Then, she said, “Then how about we agree to Xiaohui’s suggestion? At least in the future, we’ll have a grandson to take care of us and continue the family line.”
After mother An finished speaking, the two of them fell silent again.
Just then, someone knocked on their door.
Mother An asked, “Who is it?”
“Sister-in-law, it’s me.” It was second aunt An.
Mother An frowned slightly and opened the door. Then, mother An smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, why are you here?”
Second aunt An looked around and frowned slightly. She said with slight dissatisfaction, “Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Can’t I come to visit?”
Mother An immediately smiled apologetically and said, “That’s not what I meant. Sister-in-law, you’ve misunderstood.”
Second aunt An walked in and said directly, “Big Brother and sister-in-law, it’s like this. Yang ‘Er took a fancy to a girl yesterday. The girl is also satisfied with our Yang ‘Er.”
When mother An heard this, she smiled and said, “Is An Yang getting married? This is a good thing.”
Second aunt An looked around and rolled her eyes, “As if. The girl’s condition is that she wants 180,000 Rmb in betrothal gifts. She also wants to buy a new house in the county town and a car. But you know, our family is very poor. We can’t afford to buy a house and a car.”
Mother An frowned and asked, “Sister-in-law, what do you mean?”
