Chapter 672: Those involved are confused, can they be enlightened?
In the living room, after listening to Ye Zhenzhen's story, both of them looked speechless.
"What are you two doing with those expressions? Just say what you want to say."
"Zhenzhen, don't tell me that you have never lied since you were a child?"
"I'm not a saint?" Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at Yu Chuhui, picked up the skewer and took a big bite.
Yu Chuhui spread his hands, "Sister Zhu, did you see that? You are still being stubborn. Not to mention that handsome Chen saw through this lie, I would also be suspicious if I were in your place."
"Zhenzhen, I think what Ah Chu said is absolutely correct. From a normal perspective, this kind of temporary arrangement is most likely a chance encounter based on temporary information. If it is to ask someone to do something for you, then this kind of chance encounter is very abrupt and will not only fail, but may even backfire."
"The most important thing is that even if it was an accidental encounter, you shouldn't have chosen your identity to do it. But it happened anyway, and you even said that the other party's identity is someone your family can't afford to offend."
"It's full of mistakes and omissions." Zhu Zhe thought for a moment and asked, "After you talked on the phone at noon, have you contacted Xiao Chen?"
"No, I went home and took a nap this afternoon, and I thought he was busy."
"That makes sense. Xiao Chen might have guessed the general idea at noon, and suddenly came to give you a midnight snack. On the one hand, he wanted to see what you were doing, and on the other hand, he wanted to confirm and give you a chance to speak up."
Zhu Zhe spread his hands, "The result is obvious. You are still lying, trying to use everything at home to muddle through. It's normal for him to be angry and disappointed. It shows that he cares about you very much."
"Okay, explain it to handsome Chen later. I think he will understand your concerns."
Yu Chuhui comforted Ye Zhenzhen and couldn't wait to reveal his own problem, "Sister Zhu, Zhenzhen, I am the mouse in the bellows right now, being caught in a dilemma. Not only do I have to deal with my dad's threatening phone calls, but I also have to find ways to make my mom stay."
"As a result, these two issues were not resolved. Today, the people from the building opposite came to my house and wanted to invite my mother to work as a nanny. When my mother told me about the salary of 6,000 yuan, she seemed very interested. Suddenly, I couldn't control my emotions. Sometimes I really feel useless..."
Zhu Zhe is kind-hearted but not stupid at all. He has known Yu Chuhui's character for a long time after getting to know him. Seeing this guy crying again, he can't help but feel helpless. The two roommates, one is silly in every way, and the other is smart everywhere.
"Achu, if you are useless, then I am even more useless, right?" Seeing Yu Chuhui looking at him in confusion, Zhu Zhe pointed his finger and said, "Before I was transferred to this hotel, my salary was 21,000 yuan a month. It only increased by 1,000 yuan here."
"Your work as an engineer pays you 8,000 to 9,000 yuan a month. Add to that your income from the dance class, and you make at least 10,000 yuan a month. Add together, it's almost as much as my salary."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't care about these things before, but after hearing what Zhu Zhe said, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Achu, your income is not bad, it's not worse than mine and Ji Ji's."
Yu Chuhui was very confused. He didn't understand why he was suddenly interrupted by Zhu Zhe when he was trying to be pitiful, but he didn't show it on his face.
"It was only because Zhenzhen reminded me that my income has improved. But it can't be compared with you two. Zhenzhen is a wealthy and beautiful woman whose family bought her a house, and Sister Zhu is an inspirational role model for countless migrant workers in Shanghai, who have settled down.
And my current income is just like what handsome Chen said. If I want to settle down in Shanghai, I either have to marry someone rich and stupid, or earn an annual salary of..." Yu Chuhui suddenly had a flash of inspiration and figured out what Chen An meant by his last sentence yesterday. It was not as simple as encouraging him to change jobs. The key point was this sentence.
But she was a little confused again. What was his purpose in telling her this? Was he stupid and rich? Did he want to introduce her to a boyfriend? No, no, this kind of thing was no joke. No one would do it casually.
So there is a job with a high annual salary that is suitable for her? When this thought came to her mind, she felt a little panicked and excited...
The two girls saw Yu Chuhui suddenly stop talking in a daze with a very strange expression. They couldn't help but exchange glances. Zhu Zhe asked with concern, "A Chu, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, nothing, just something suddenly occurred to me."
They could see that Yu Chuhui was not being sincere, but neither of them pointed it out. The reason why Zhu Zhe interrupted Yu Chuhui's pity-selling just now was because she had her considerations.
In Shanghai, where every inch of land is valuable, the most valuable thing is space. For now, Yu's mother's temporary stay has not caused too much impact on each other's lives, but the signs have already appeared: He Minhong, a man with a strong sense of morals and who likes to meddle in other people's affairs.
The presence of Yu's mother has invisibly increased the chances of conflict between the two. Zhu Zhe can foresee that if this situation does not change, before their different living habits cause trouble, the two of them will be in chaos, which will be enough to make him upset.
For Zhu Zhe, she is very satisfied with the current shared living environment, so she has been trying to smooth things over, not wanting to disrupt this balance. She even understood Yu Chuhui's little tricks before but did not point them out. But now that she has the opportunity to eliminate the hidden danger, she naturally will not miss it.
"Achu, I think your current state is somewhat like being confused by the situation."
"Sister Zhu, I've been so busy these past few days that my head is almost a mess. Can you please give me some advice?"
"You told me before that the main reason why your aunt would rather stay at home and be bullied by your father and even looked down upon by your grandparents is because your house is under the name of your grandparents, and she wants to keep it for you, right?"
Yu Chuhui nodded.
"Then here comes the crux of the matter. If you want to keep Auntie, shouldn't the most important thing you consider right now be how to get her to let go of her obsession with the house and move on from this point of view?"
"Sister Zhu, you're not trying to ask me to agree to let my mother be the nanny, are you?" Yu Chuhui's face was full of confusion and reluctance.
Zhu Zhe smiled and explained, "Achu, how about I say that you are confused now? The two most critical points for the rise of women are independent thinking and economic independence.
Judging from the current situation, only personal financial independence can allow Auntie to let go of her obsession with the house, improve her self-confidence, and understand that she is not a burden to you, but a help to you. Only in this way can your idea of helping Auntie get out of the quagmire be initially realized. "
"But my mother has worked hard for most of her life. I want her to enjoy a peaceful life. Besides, she is already old. I don't want her to have to work to earn money and look up to others."
"How can fifty be considered old? There are many labor service companies now. Cleaners and landscaping workers in their fifties are all happy to work."
Seeing that Yu Chuhui was still struggling, Zhu Zhe added the most crucial blow, "Auntie is a living person. Even if you can stop her for a while, you can't keep her alert all the time. Only by broadening her horizons and letting her know that in Shanghai, she can earn a house for her daughter in a year or two, will her desire to go home fade."
Seeing Yu Chuhui's bitter face, Ye Zhenzhen reminded him, "Ah Chu, actually the job of a nanny is not as bad as you think. Take our nanny for example, whether it's food or accommodation, it's not bad at all, and the income is quite high."
"Now that I think about it, it's still a little funny. My ex-boyfriend broke up with me because he despised me for holding the toilet and serving people every day. But so what? I don't think there's anything shameful about earning money through my own efforts and my own hands."
