Initially, because Zhihao was supposed to join the supply and marketing cooperative as an accountant, she and her mother-in-law, Liu Sanmei, decided to split Xu Qinghe's family from theirs, ensuring that they wouldn't benefit from Zhihao's eventual gains!
Zhihao's father-in-law had intended for him to be an accountant, but somehow, things went awry, and Zhihao failed to secure the position, dashing all hopes they had pinned on it.
Just today, Zhihao came back. Although he didn't become an accountant, he still got a job at the supply and marketing cooperative. His salary, though temporarily only thirty yuan, suggested more expenses in the future. So, Liu Sanmei felt it might be better for Xu Qinghe's family to come back.
"Wasn't it you who wanted to split the family in the first place?" Liu Sanmei said irritably. These days, either she or Zhao Juxiang was stuck working in the vegetable garden and the house, no longer able to casually snack on sunflower seeds like before!
