"Village Chief, how can you give the job quota to Chen Shuying?" Wang Changgui exclaimed in surprise.
"This job quota was originally reserved for the women in the village who take care of children, but we haven't found a suitable position until now. Since the Textile Factory needs people, let's give it to Shuying," the Village Chief replied.
"Village Chief, you can't be so obvious in your favoritism," Granny Wang questioned.
"Where am I being biased?" the Village Chief frowned.
"You gave this job quota to Chen Shuying; what about the other Fellow Villagers in our village?" Granny Wang said indignantly.
"Yes, Village Chief, this job quota should be fairly competed for," Wang Changgui echoed.
"Compete? How do you want to compete? Should I ask you to divorce and take care of the children?" the Village Chief retorted.
"I..." Wang Changgui was at a loss for words again.
"Village Chief, what you're doing is unfair to the other Fellow Villagers in the village," Granny Wang stated.
"What do you want then?" the Village Chief frowned.
"Give up this job quota and allow everyone a fair chance to compete," Granny Wang said.
"What do you all think?" The Village Chief looked around at the villagers.
"Village Chief, this job quota should indeed be fairly competed for."
"Yes, Village Chief, you can't favor her just because Chen Shuying is a woman."
"Village Chief, I want this job quota too."
The surrounding villagers spoke up one after another.
"You all want this opportunity; then let me ask you, who is willing to support Shuying and Xiao Liang?" the Village Chief asked.
"This..." Everyone hesitated.
Although Chen Shuying and Xiao Liang were both hardworking and kind people, they were not relatives, and since Chen Shuying had a child to care for, it was difficult enough for her to support herself; who would be willing to support two people for nothing?
"What? No one is willing?" The Village Chief asked again.
Everyone fell silent, each calculating in their hearts.
"Since no one is willing to support Shuying and Xiao Liang, then this job quota will still belong to Shuying," the Village Chief said.
"Village Chief, what you're doing makes us Fellow Villagers feel disheartened," Granny Wang sighed.
"Is there something I did wrong?" the village chief asked in confusion.
"If you do this, it will make everyone lose trust in you," Granny Wang threatened.
"As long as I can face my conscience, that's enough for me," the village chief replied boldly.
"You..." Granny Wang was left speechless.
"Shuying, you should report to the town tomorrow," the village chief said.
"Okay, thank you, village chief," Chen Shuying expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome, this is what you deserve," the village chief replied.
"Village chief, you can't do this," Wang Changgui said anxiously.
"Changgui, since you've already divorced Shuying, don't get involved anymore," the village chief warned.
"I..." Wang Changgui wanted to say more but was stopped by Granny Wang.
"Changgui, stop talking. Let's go home," Granny Wang advised.
"Mom..." Wang Changgui looked at Granny Wang in confusion.
"Listen to your mom; we'll talk about it when we get back," Granny Wang said softly.
"Alright," Wang Changgui nodded helplessly.
Then, Wang Changgui's family returned to their house.
"Mom, why didn't you let me speak just now?" Wang Changgui hurriedly asked after entering the house.
"It doesn't matter what you say now; it's better to save your energy," Granny Wang replied.
"Are we just going to watch Chen Shuying go work in the town?" Wang Changgui said unwillingly.
"Of course not," Granny Wang squinted her eyes and said.
"Mom, do you have a plan?" Wang Changgui asked excitedly.
"Yes," Granny Wang nodded.
"What plan?" Wang Changgui asked impatiently.
"The village chief wants Chen Shuying to work in the town, right? Then we should unite with others in the village and oppose the village chief together," Granny Wang said.
"Oppose the village chief?" Wang Changgui exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, with so many of us, the village chief will have to take us into consideration," Granny Wang said.
"But how can we get the villagers to oppose the village chief with us?" Wang Changgui expressed his concern.
"This is simple," Granny Wang said confidently.
"Mom, do you have a good plan?" Wang Changgui asked eagerly.
"We can do it this way..." Granny Wang leaned in and whispered her plan to Wang Changgui.
"Mom, that's a brilliant idea," Wang Changgui praised after hearing Granny Wang's plan.
"Hmph, this time I will definitely make the village chief change his mind," Granny Wang huffed.
"Yes, we can't let Chen Shuying succeed," Wang Changgui added angrily.
Meanwhile, Chen Shuying returned home with Xiao Liang.
"Shuying, are you really going to work in town?" a neighbor asked worriedly.
"Yes," Chen Shuying nodded.
"What about Xiao Liang?" the neighbor inquired.
"Xiao Liang can come with me; I'll find him a kindergarten at the factory," Chen Shuying replied.
"What about your living expenses?" the neighbor asked.
"I'll figure out the living expenses," Chen Shuying said.
"Shuying, it will be tough for you to take care of a child while working," the neighbor said sympathetically.
"I know, but I have no choice; I have to support Xiao Liang," Chen Shuying sighed.
"If you encounter any difficulties, remember to tell us; we'll help as much as we can," the neighbor offered.
"Thank you," Chen Shuying expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome; we've watched Xiao Liang grow up," the neighbor said.
"Yes," Chen Shuying nodded.
The next day, Chen Shuying took Xiao Liang to town.
In the mayor's office, the mayor asked, "Shuying, have you really thought this through?"
"Yes, I've made up my mind," Chen Shuying replied with a nod.
