On the other side, Yun Shan started to look for a new job. However, after trying to contact the boss of other shops in the county, he found out that his professional knowledge was so weak.
Although he had worked as an accountant in the Jing Family Pharmacy for a period of time, compared to those who had gone to school and had a certain level of education, it turned out that the advantage of competing for a job was so little.
“I’m sorry, sir. I think you might not be suitable for the job of an accountant in our shop, but I think you have been looking for a job for a long time! I have another job here that might be suitable for you. I wonder if you would like to try it?”
Yun Shan walked to the side of a shop selling chemical fertilizers and saw that the shop was covered with a red paper for hiring, so he went in to try his luck.
However, after Boss Fu learned about his education and work experience, he still felt that Yun Shan was unsuitable for this accounting job.
However, Yun Shan did not earn a single cent now. His wife was still in a cold war with him. On one hand, it was a face challenge for him to not earn money. On the other hand, not earning money would also give him a challenge to survive. If there were other jobs now, he would be willing to try.
“May I ask what kind of job?”
“I see that you’re in your 40s now, so you should be in your prime. Our shop is recruiting people to do odd jobs, which is to come to the shop every Saturday to unload fertilizer from the truck. You’ll need to carry the fertilizer from the truck to the back of the store’s warehouse, and this is calculated by the day’s pay. I can pay 15 yuan a day. What do you think about this job?”
The owner of the fertilizer store said the content of the job and the main salary.
15 yuan a day was only half of the easy work he had done before. Moreover, this job was only available on Saturdays, so it was only 60 yuan a month. Compared with Chen Li’s salary of nearly four figures a month for her family, he was a joke.
However, he still had the Old Madam to support, so he could only agree to this job first. Then, he would take advantage of the other six days when he did not have to move goods here to find another job.
“Okay, I’m willing.” Yun Shan nodded.
“If that’s the case, then tomorrow is Saturday. You can come to the door of the shop to move goods at eight o’clock in the morning. It’s almost winter now, and our fertilizer shop’s business has reached the low season. Compared to the summer and spring, we have to move a lot less goods. This is a good time for you.”
The owner of the fertilizer shop asked him to register his information and then muttered.
“How is it? Have you found a job yet?”
The first thing the Old Madam did when Yun Shan got home was not to ask how tired her son was, but to ask if she could get a sum of money next month.
“I found a job moving fertilizer, and I can get 60 yuan a month,” Yun Shan told the truth.
“What kind of job is this? It doesn’t sound decent, and the pay was relatively low. Can’t you find a job that earns a little more money and is decent, like your old accounting job? Why are you so useless? Don’t you have that Boss Jing? Can’t your family survive in this county?”
The old lady heard that there was only 60 yuan, and immediately flew into a rage.
“You only know how to urge. It wasn’t easy for me to find such a job. If you don’t even let me go to this job, then the two of us will have nothing to eat.”
Yun Shan had been mentally and physically exhausted by the Old Madam these days, and his tone towards the Old Madam was getting worse and worse.
“When we were living in the county town, every month we would send back a portion of the living expenses for you two. But now? Father came here to treat the illness. It should have been almost two months, but I’ve never seen Yun Gang’s and Yun Lin’s families send a single penny here.”
It was not that Yun Shan did not care. It was just that he felt that a family should be amiable. Since he had that condition, he would spend more.
However, now that his finances had become so tight, he had never seen the Old Madam speak up for him and ask the people from the other two families for money.
