Chapter 039 Laid-off
Naturally, Mother Li couldn't just take the 10,000 yuan. She needed to refuse after three Chinese refusals, and then she accepted the stack of banknotes as high as bricks.
"At noon today, you must come back for dinner. I will make your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for you." Mother Li wanted to turn the son-in-law in front of her into a real son-in-law now, and then she would hear the other party change her words and call her mother. If this matter remains unchanged every day, she will not be at ease every day. If it remains unchanged for a year, she will not be at ease every year.
Mo Youyong smiled and replied with the word "good". Although he knew in his heart that the monthly living expenses of 2,000 yuan was enough to support four adults, he did not feel at a loss.
It is because people like him have a strong sense of Shantou. He and Li Ruoyu are boyfriend and girlfriend, so he will have a sense of responsibility to the point of being more or less.
Even if this strong sense of caring for family members is not as strong as that of the fathers, he will take it seriously. He is completely different from the difference between most people in his peers and is not his wife. Therefore, the investment in her needs to be treated with caution so as not to lose money.
Mo Youy is not the avant-garde idea of the post-00s. Boys and girlfriends only need each other, and there is nothing boys have to take care of girls and her family.
"Then I won't disturb your work. I'll go home first." Li's mother was not here to get money. On the one hand, she wanted to see how big her son-in-law's company was, and she was sure of what the situation was. On the other hand, she mentioned the work matters in a targeted manner. After all, it would not be a pleasant thing to let the couple lay off their jobs.
Even if she is laid off, her family will also be negatively impacted and affected. The only thing she can find, the people she can ask, the people she can rely on, and the people she can count on is Mo Yi.
Even if they can still receive unemployment benefits for two years after they are laid off, they can only make a living. They are still under low pressure, but fortunately their daughter is already working, which is completely different from some people who have old age and young ones.
Especially those who have to support their children in college. The daughter Li Ruoyu has a job and takes the initiative to pay the salary for the family, which still cannot change the spirit of their generation who can't stay idle.
After all, after working for 20 or 30 years, I suddenly got laid off. This is mainly because it is not easy to accept in terms of thoughts and emotions.
Furthermore, if a person has nothing to do, he will be like rootless duckweed, and hesitant all day long. People like Li, who are highly regarded as a local in the Demon City, cannot let go of their faces and do the same job with migrant workers.
As a result, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Magic City. Unemployed people would rather take minimum living allowance than go to some subway stations to clean up.
The reason is that I am afraid of meeting acquaintances, which is too embarrassing. Even if I don’t care, I have to pay more attention to the people at home, especially the children. This is not entirely an excuse to be lazy and eat urban welfare.
In addition, after the original unit goes bankrupt, even if the money for the buyout of working years is in hand, for most people, it is far from enough to use it to renew the annual social security money until the day when they officially retire and receive their pension.
Middle-aged people who are not touched by the sky and do not touch the ground will become headless flies one by one, and they will really not know what to do in the future for a while?
Children are young and ignorant, and they will look down on their parents and think they are useless. In fact, parents have given the best they can.
Children from families and classes like this will almost never ask their classmates to play at their homes. After all, they are really young and there is nothing worth showing off.
The other side of the prosperity and luxury of the Demon City is completely something that these people cannot enjoy at all. It is not surprising that they have developed the face and snobbery of a petty citizen over time. Those who have not had a real experience in living alone will never understand it.
After Mo Youyong personally sent Mom Li out of his company, he turned back to continue working. Mom Li got such an unexpected surprise and felt very light when walking, and she rarely raised her head.
For the first time in her life, she tasted a little bit of wealth. When she passed by a bank, she walked in and deposited the 10,000 yuan of cash she had just obtained from Mo Youyong for a regular period of one year.
When Mom Li returned home, she saw her man at home. She asked in surprise: "Why are you getting off work so early today?"
"Maybe, maybe... I'm going to be laid off." Li Hongqi was particularly depressed and had to tell the truth.
"If you are laid off, just lay off! Just take a break early. At your age, you should be able to apply for a refund within your home." Why should you be the one who did not appear?
You have never been late for work in your life, nor have you left early, and you are advanced every year, and so on.
"I said I would be laid off by the factory." Li Hongqi said completely incomprehensible when he saw his wife's unusual peace.
"I don't have to recite my ears, do you need to say it twice? Could it be that it's quite glorious to be laid off?" Li's mother said bluntly.
"What should I do in the future if I get rid of my post? What if you are laid off again, how can we live?" Li Hongqi said worried about his future life.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs and our family's affairs. Our family can't count on you." Li's mother blurted out.
"Then who else are you counting on?" Li Hongqi suddenly felt that his face as the head of the family had been swept away, and he said sternly unhappily.
"Not my son-in-law is useful!" Mother Li said with a smile.
"Don't be too happy too early." Li Hongqi said straight.
Mother Li was about to say something, but she didn't say it immediately. Instead, she walked to close the door and approached her man, and deliberately lowered her voice. She actively stretched out her right hand and said, "Xiao Mo, have you given me this number?"
"Isn't it just one thousand yuan? As for the closing in broad daylight?" Since Li Hongqi's unit performance was not good, his monthly salary was only about 500 yuan.
Even one thousand yuan is just his salary for two months. The average monthly income of the Magic City in 2001 was only 1,480 yuan.
At this time, there are many people who are less than 1,000 yuan a month, and there are not a few. The salary of seven or 800 yuan a month is the normal level of people living in such alleys.
"It's a total of ten thousand." Li's mother corrected.
