Chapter 87: Announcing to the World - The Daily Life of a Sickly Young Aunt in the Compound, Enjoying the Drama

Wang Ping really wasn't unhappy. After all, the family hasn't divided the household yet, and all the money earned has to be contributed to the family fund. So, having an additional income in the family made her quite happy.

Mother Li looked at Yu Xiaowan and Feng Xiaoli, who followed behind, and asked expectantly, "How about you two?"

Yu Xiaowan and Feng Xiaoli shook their heads simultaneously. Yu Xiaowan said, "Both of us, along with Wang Ping, were eliminated in the third round."

"The third round? I thought there were only two rounds?" Mother Li, as the wife of Old Man Li, knew some of the rules of the assessment.

"Since too many people passed the first two rounds, they added a third one," Yu Xiaowan explained.

Feng Xiaoli also complained a little, "Moreover, the third round was significantly harder than the first two. We didn't do well, so we were eliminated!"

"That's alright, it's not your fault. I never really expected you to pass in the first place. It's fine if you didn't!" Mother Li was quite open-minded. Although she hoped the family could have an additional income, if they couldn't win, there was really nothing they could do!

"Ah, we knew you were the best, Mom! You're the best mother-in-law..." Yu Xiaowan started lavishing praise on Mother Li.

"Yes, yes, Mom, you're the best mother-in-law!" Feng Xiaoli also chimed in.

"You two are such smooth talkers!" Mother Li scolded them, though the corners of her mouth were clearly turned up, making it hard to believe she was truly upset.

Meanwhile, the Sui family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law watched this scene and felt somewhat relieved. After all, Wu Daya and Wang Ping had also been tutored by Old Man Li, which is why they achieved their current results. Now that none of the Li family daughters-in-law were selected, but Wu Daya was, they were somewhat worried that the Li family might be unhappy. However, it seemed that wasn't the case.

The recruitment process was pretty much wrapped up. Once the results for the cadre positions came out tomorrow, everything would be complete!

When Cen Xi got home that evening, he didn't press Lin Qing about her results. His wife seemed too calm, so he thought there shouldn't be any issues.

"Brother Nan, aren't you curious about how I did?" Lin Qing asked before bed, nestled in Cen Xi's arms.

"Well, do you want me to ask?" Cen Xi countered.

Lin Qing buried her face in his chest, shook her head, and mumbled, "No."

"Then I won't ask. I'll check the results myself tomorrow!" Cen Xi said without hesitation.

"Okay!" Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh while in his arms.

Actually, she didn't like people asking about her results right after the exam. No matter what she said, others would think something else, so it was better not to say anything at all!

In contrast to Lin Qing, Lin Shu was eager to announce to the world that she had passed the moment she got back. Mother Jiang and Jiang Yang were thrilled about it!

"I recall your results aren't out yet. How can you be so sure you passed?" Jiang Da Sao, unable to stand Lin Shu's smug expression, directly poured cold water on her.

"..." Mother Jiang also cooled down a bit after hearing her words.

"Second daughter-in-law, are you certain you were selected?"

Lin Shu figured Jiang Da Sao was just jealous of her, but since she had been eliminated, she didn't bother arguing with her.

Lin Shu said confidently, "Mom, I completed the entire exam paper this time. I think my results should be decent, and I'm confident I passed."

Lin Shu was also afraid she might not pass, so she chose the easiest logistics cadre position. Although there were some questions on the exam she didn't know, she filled out everything, so she was confident she would pass. After all, she was heaven's favorite—how could she possibly fail to land a job?

This recruitment was practically tailor-made for her. If she didn't pass, how could that be?

Earlier, Lin Shu had mentioned that her grades were outstanding, always ranking at the top in school, so Mother Jiang and Jiang Yang didn't doubt her words at all. If she said she could pass, then she definitely would.

Now, the mother and son were at ease and began celebrating right at the dinner table!

Jiang Da Sao grew even more irritated seeing them like this.

Seeing Jiang Hai, who was burying his head in eating, she vented all her anger on him!

She pinched his waist, "All you do is eat, eat, eat! You're such a pig!"

"Ah!" Jiang Hai was stunned by his wife's sudden move. He was just minding his own business, eating. What had he done wrong?

"Liang Lili, who are you yelling at?" Mother Jiang was displeased hearing Jiang Da Sao scolding her son.

"Mom, I'm scolding your son for being so lazy! All he does is eat, and he doesn't even try to keep up with the second son!"

Jiang Hai: ??? What did I do to deserve this?

"If you have something to say, say it. Why resort to physical actions? Is this any way for a wife to act?" Mother Jiang frowned.

"Fine, fine," Jiang Da Sao snapped back.

Hmph! Just wait till we get back to the room. We'll see what you have to say then, hmph!

Jiang Hai, who had been quietly eating, suddenly shivered, feeling a chill run down his spine.

The next day, Lin Qing woke up early once more!

This time, she didn't go back to sleep like yesterday. She was too preoccupied with thoughts of the results and wanted to check them early.

But unfortunately, the results wouldn't be posted until 9 a.m.!

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll pass!"

"Mm." Lin Qing's slight anxiety was eased by his gentle tone.

"You should head to work!"

"Okay!" Cen Xi glanced at her a few more times before leaving. Seeing her expression was no longer as anxious, he felt relieved.

Lin Qing felt more at ease now. She had done her best; if she passed, great. If not, she'd look for other job opportunities.

Lin Qing headed out around nine. By then, Lin Shu and Jiang Li from the front yard had already gone to wait for the results.

When Lin Qing arrived at the factory bulletin board, the results had just been posted.

A bustling crowd made it impossible to see the results list.

Lin Qing looked at the surging crowd and realized her frail frame wouldn't withstand the pushing. So, she stayed at the back, not trying to squeeze forward.

She tried tiptoeing, but she still wasn't tall enough to see.

As she tried jumping to catch a glimpse, someone who had just squeezed through the crowd called out excitedly, "Qing Qing!"

It was Wang Jiaojiao, who, despite being even smaller, had managed to squeeze through.

But now wasn't the time to dwell on that. Lin Qing figured since Wang Jiaojiao had made it through, she must know the results. Suppressing her excitement, she nervously asked, "How is it? Did you see the list?"

Wang Jiaojiao's eyes lit up as she said, "I saw it! You're first place, Qing Qing! You're amazing!"

Lin Qing smiled warmly, and Wang Jiaojiao was stunned!

"What about you?" After checking her own results, Lin Qing didn't forget to ask about her friend's.

Wang Jiaojiao snapped out of her daze and laughed, "Hehe, I scored two points above third place."

"That's great, that's great, you passed too!" Lin Qing was overjoyed.
