    Chapter 365

    He Youde turned to seek help from He Quan. He couldn’t handle such a big matter; only Dad could help by either finding Big Brother or coming up with another solution.

    After all, the idea of the Old Wang family going to the provincial city and asking Big Brother for help was just a pipe dream.

    He Quan also saw some truth in what the Old Wang family said, but… he wasn’t the elder brother, and the factory manager wasn’t his friend.

    If Big Brother found out, it would be really awkward.

    So, they needed to talk to someone else about this. If they could ask Xiao Tian, or have Xiao Tian find another way, it might still work.

    “Don’t ask me about this. Ask Xiao Tian. His job is quite good now; maybe he can help?” He Quan avoided looking at his son.

    Hearing that they would have to ask his son for help, He Youde was reluctant. “How can Xiao Tian do it? The staff in Xiao Tian’s factory are all competing to move up. Their supervisor is about to be transferred.

    Asking him to help with this now would put him in a tough spot.

    What if it affects his career?”

    He Quan also found it troubling.

    “You live in the provincial city, so it’s much easier for you to get us there than for us to figure it out ourselves. You’ll have to find a way,” Zhou Jiaojiao was firm on this matter.

    Once the He family helped them this time, she would definitely ask for their help again in the future.

    By relying on the Old Wang family, these two men wouldn’t be able to get rid of them.

    She planned to use them to slowly achieve her goals.

    After some hesitation, He Quan agreed to this matter.

    “I’ll find a way for you, but it might not be immediate. Maybe one or two will go first. Jobs in the provincial city aren’t easy to find. Have the three of you who want to go finished school?”

    He Quan made up his mind to ask his daughter for help after returning home.

    If she refused, he would threaten to die in front of her.

    “We’ve finished school,” Wang Shoucheng didn’t expect this to actually work. He had just been worried about Fifth Brother's Wife’s request, and now the solution came just in time.

    Fifth Brother's Wife… sure had good timing.

    Wang Shoucheng became more determined to ensure Second Brother went together.

    In the future, if Fifth Brother's Wife and Fifth Brother became successful, as long as Second Brother knew, the family would know.

    This way, the young couple wouldn’t abandon the rest of the family.

    “This matter is settled. We’ll handle it for you as soon as possible, but I’ll give you a fair warning. If you don’t hold up your end of the deal after moving to the provincial city, we can make sure you come back,” He Quan looked at them and gave a stern warning.

    Wang Shoucheng nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, we’re not the type to take money and not do the work.”

    “Hmph, you know how you handled things back then. If it weren’t for you, our family wouldn’t have had these troubles,” He Youde couldn’t help but bring up the past.

    “Enough, you were in the wrong with that mess, and you dare to mention it? Even your elder brother has let it go. You, who caused all this trouble, should know better than to bring it up.”

    If this gets out, neither Old Wang’s family nor you will come out of it unscathed.

    He Quan gave his son a stern talking-to.

    Then, with a forced smile, He Quan turned to Wang Shoucheng. “My son here has a bad temper. But this matter is behind us now. What we need to deal with is Wang Qinghe.

    There are some complications with the job we’re trying to find for you. But we need to address Wang Qinghe’s issue as soon as possible.

    Maybe you can think about any misdeeds or embarrassing incidents from their past?

    We can tell his father, and that might make him less satisfied with his son.”

    He Quan scrutinized them closely, worried they might withhold information.

    He and his son came for this very reason. Unexpectedly, they found themselves outsmarted by this family despite all their efforts.

    Now it was important to get back to the main topic.

    Wang Shoucheng took the request seriously and started thinking.

    Zhou Jiaojiao, realizing her father-in-law was taking this seriously, was taken aback and quickly said she had no idea. “This is really putting us in a difficult spot. When the elder brother and his wife were at home, they didn’t get along with us.

    As for their interactions with others, we have no idea.”

    Wang Shoucheng was puzzled by what Fifth Brother's Wife was saying.

    “You really don’t know? They lived with you for so long, and you don’t know anything about their faults?” He Youde didn’t believe them. They were obviously just unwilling to tell.

    Were they afraid that once they gave information, they wouldn’t help them anymore?

    This family was completely untrustworthy.

    “We really don’t know. All we know is that they have a grudge against us.” Zhou Jiaojiao stuck to her story.

    Wang Shoucheng quickly came to his senses. “My daughter-in-law is right. You shouldn’t push us anymore. Since we’re working together, we won’t lie to you.”

    “Well…” He Youde was reluctant to give up.

    Seeing that they couldn’t get any information, He Quan decided to stop asking. “Then we won’t disturb you for now. But you should go to the provincial city and wait in advance. Even for temporary jobs, they’ll want to meet you in person.”

    After He Quan finished speaking, he turned and left.

    He Youde quickly followed him out.

    “This family is insatiably greedy. Dad, are we really going to cooperate with them?” He Youde felt uneasy.

    How many times have they already played us?

    “Of course we are. Since they tricked us before, this time, whether things work out or not, it’s just a temporary job. Once our matters are settled, their temporary job won’t become permanent.

    Sooner or later, they’ll regret it, and they’ll have to pay us back for what they took from us.”

    He Quan had already made up his mind. After returning, he would beg others for help.

    “Dad, you’re full of good ideas. As long as elder brother is disappointed in his son, and Xiao Tian can remain as he is, I won’t ask for anything more in this life.” He Youde couldn’t help but smile when thinking about his precious son’s future.

    “Alright, we need to hurry back. If we return too late, I won’t be able to explain.” He Quan urged his son to leave quickly.

    In the provincial city.

    As soon as it got dark, Wang Qinghe arrived at the local community center to pick up his wife.

    Bai Xiuxiu had helped Grandma Yang with the family division paperwork and had just returned when she saw her husband coming. She said goodbye to Wang Qiong and headed home.

    "We still need to go to the He family today to discuss the Traditional Chinese Medicine apprenticeship," Wang Qinghe said, feeling a bit worried about her. "If I go to learn, I’ll probably have to go with He Zhifei. I don’t want you to feel lonely or uncomfortable while you’re there."

    "We’ve been waiting for this for so long. You go on ahead, and I’ll wait for you at the He family. We’ll go home together today, and tomorrow I’ll..."

    Before she could finish, Wang Qinghe interrupted with his decision. "Tomorrow, I’ll take you home first, and then I’ll head off to start my apprenticeship."
