Chapter 23: Run away if you have money and a household registration
Ye Na took a lot of photos, and her mother flipped through more than a dozen of them, her face looking ugly.
"It seems that for women, if they still want to work locally but don't need a permit, they can only go to the dangerous area."
"That's about right. But if you go to a dangerous area, you can only rent a house outside. Otherwise, the time for the commute is unbearable. Otherwise, you can only go to another place. I'm sure someone will hire me to carry bricks at a construction site."
Her mother was silent for a moment. It was difficult to find a job in the city, but there was no doubt that she would let her eldest daughter go to other places, or to the dangerous areas outside the city.
"Eat first, and then I'll check the rental information in the danger zone."
"Why look for a job? Your grandparents are coming, so you stay home and take care of them."
Her father heard his wife's tone was not right, as if she supported his daughter to leave home and rent a house and work outside. Then who would be at home to take care of his parents when they came, so he quickly objected.
"You're supporting her at home? Have you returned to work? Let me make it clear, you only earn 800 yuan a month now, and you still dare to brag at home."
"You go to work, I recover from my injuries, and the three little ones can't do anything. What will she do if she's not at home to take care of grandparents?"
"Do you know how much a full-time nanny who takes care of the elderly costs? Or two elderly people, your full-time salary will be enough."
Her mother Yu Qing picked up Ye Nai's phone, flipped through a few photos and took them in front of her father.
"Look carefully, this is the current price for a nanny who takes care of the elderly. You are so arrogant. You want to keep your daughter at home to take care of your parents. Doesn't she want to earn money to eat and drink?"
Her dad grabbed the phone and took a look, as if he had discovered a loophole.
"Look carefully, this is the price for a certified babysitter."
"Oh." Her mother sneered, "What do you want to say? You don't have to pay your daughter to stay at home as a babysitter? Housework within the family should be free, is that what you mean?"
When it comes to money, someone who has been an accountant for half his life is really quick on the ball.
"It's so crowded for six people to live in our house of less than 60 square meters. I feel bad for my daughter who has been sleeping in the living room since she was a child. But I feel bad for your parents who come to live here and need someone to take care of you. You are such a filial son."
"Your parents are coming to live here, but you still ask your eldest brother and sister-in-law for living expenses. They used the old man's big house and pension to marry off their eldest daughter and then renovate the house for their eldest son's wedding. We are living in poverty and don't get any help, but you are still pretending to be rich. You are so brave."
Her mother took the phone back and gave it back to her daughter.
"Don't listen to your dad. It's more important to find a job and support yourself. An adult without money is nothing. Marriage is a secondary issue. You are poor, so you can only find a poor man. Why would a man with conditions fall in love with a poor woman? Are you a fairy or a genius?"
Her mother had something else to say. She was really worried when she saw her eldest daughter's muscular body. It would be difficult for her to find a man in the future. Which man would not be scared when seeing her figure?
Ye Nai agreed very much with what her mother said. Money is a person's courage. She has money in her hands, so she is not panicking now.
Dinner ended in such an atmosphere of complete disagreement. Her father went back to the bedroom after dinner. Her mother sat on the sofa and searched for rental information in dangerous areas on her mobile phone. Ye Na sat beside her with a pen and paper in her hand, writing down useful information for comparison.
The mother and daughter studied for more than an hour and found that considering Ye Na's average income for the past two months, if they wanted to survive, they could only go to the three dangerous areas 5, 6, and 7 near the plane channel.
"Only these three dangerous areas have cheap rents. A deposit of one thousand yuan can be paid in full, and there is still some change left for daily necessities." Her mother took the paper from Ye Nai's hand and said, "Houses without appliances are even cheaper. A deposit of one thousand yuan can be paid in full."
Ye Nai doesn't want a house with appliances at all. Wouldn't it be better for her to buy brand new ones herself?
"No, a house without appliances doesn't even have a separate toilet. You're a girl, safety is important, you can't save money on this."
"......?" Yenna pinched her biceps, "...Oh."
When her mother saw her movements, the lines of her arms seemed to be smoother and stronger than the last time she saw them. She suddenly felt that if her eldest daughter was harassed, it would be hard to say who would be more likely to be in danger.
After a moment's silence, her mother operated a few things on her phone, and then Ye Nai's phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that her mother had just transferred two thousand yuan to her.
Ye Na was stunned for a moment. This was such an unexpected surprise.
"Mom, do you want me to go out and be independent?"
"What else can we do? You stay at home without a job and eat for free, adding burden to the family? If you leave, there will be one less person, and the family expenses will be reduced."
Yu Qing's mind is now filled with money, and she has completely ignored the fact that once her eldest daughter, the strong labor force in the family, leaves, all the housework will fall on her alone and she will be exhausted.
"Oh." Ye Nai immediately accepted the two thousand yuan. She would not remind her mother to take a rest and not to overwork. If she reminded her mother, she would regret it and would not be able to leave.
"When you rent a house outside, you need money for everything at the beginning. You need to buy this and that to decorate the house. Later on, you need to work hard. Don't work so hard that you can't even pay the rent for a month."
"Okay, Mom, if I have savings in the future, I will definitely transfer it back to you."
"No, keep it. You'd better spend it yourself. If you come back and let your dad know, he will definitely go out to smoke and drink. You know how much he spends on this every month, right? He spends even more on the electrician team. Since we got married, if I hadn't forced him to take a sum of money every month to pay for the mortgage, water, electricity, and property, he wouldn't have expected to have any extra money on his own. He likes me because I can manage the money."
"So what did you like about him in the first place?"
"I like his high salary in the electrician team. I'm looking for a husband to be the father of my future child, not to be his mother. If I were his mother, I would marry his father. It's one thing for a man to earn a lot, and it's another thing how much he is willing to spend on the family. I have the account book here. There are so many fixed expenses in the family. Your father will send the money every month without hesitation, that's all."
"……Oh"
The mother and daughter agreed that there would be no obstacles for Ye Na to move out, but she still had some little ideas of her own.
While her father was taking a shower and her mother was busy on the balcony, Ye Nai slipped into her parents' bedroom, quickly opened the drawer of the closet, took out the household registration book, pulled out the loose-leaf pages, removed her own page and put it into the space, then restored everything, and then took out her pillow and blanket as if nothing had happened and placed them on the sofa in the living room.
The collective household registration moved into the Awakener Center allows free movement and temporary residence throughout the country. If you want to settle down one day, you can directly settle down. Dongling City is too small. Although there is a plane channel, it will take many years to clear the surrounding dangerous areas to the extent that infrastructure can be built. Ye Nai knows that he will definitely have to go out and venture in the future, so he should be prepared in advance to avoid trouble in the future.
The next morning, Ye Nai went out for the usual shopping. In addition to the vegetables and eggs for daily consumption, she used the remaining money in the public account to purchase household daily necessities. She then used her own money to buy her mother some new clothes, her father his usual cigarettes and alcohol, and popsicles and cold drinks for her younger siblings, and put them all in the space.
When she got home, everything was back to normal. Her father received a call from her uncle and arranged a day to pick up her grandparents to come over. He directed Ye Nai to work all day to make room in the living room for a bed. Not surprisingly, her suitcase and wire bed were stuffed under the dining table. He wanted her to sleep in the kitchen tonight to avoid cluttering the living room.
