Chapter 5: 05 Song Suisui's Job

At dinner, the Song father and son heard that Song Suisui was the one cooking.

They couldn't help but show complicated expressions on their faces.

Song Suisui stood with her hands on her hips, threatening them with a "smiling" face: "Dad, Big Brother, why aren't you eating? Do you not like it?"

Seeing Song Suisui's fierce gaze, Song Jianjun and Song Bai decisively brought out their will to survive; both of them smiled brightly, stating they would absolutely finish every bit of the food she made.

"Alright then, I'll be waiting for your clean plates." Song Suisui giggled as she withdrew her glaring eyes.

Hmph hmph~ (。-`ω-)

Seeing such a lively younger sister and family, Song Niannian silently made a determination in her heart: in this life, she must protect the Song family.

...

After dinner, Song Niannian told her parents that she had found a job at the supply and marketing cooperative, including how much money was needed to purchase the position.

At the same time, she expressed her intention to give the job to Song Suisui.

Upon hearing this, Song Suisui immediately refused: "Sister, you found this yourself, why give it to me? Besides, I don't even like working at a supply and marketing cooperative."

If Song Niannian didn't go to work at the cooperative, what would happen to the male lead?

Song Suisui did not want the butterfly effect to prevent Song Niannian and the male lead's first encounter.

Moreover, she already had plans for her own job.

Song Niannian wanted to persuade her further, but Song Suisui quickly interrupted her, stating once again that she did not need Song Niannian's job.

The two sisters argued for a long time, to the point where Ma Xiumei and Song Jianjun couldn't even get a word in.

However, seeing the children's considerate attitude toward one another, the couple felt very gratified.

They had four children, and their relationships were all very good; none of them were selfish.

Song Bai spoke up at this time: "If Suisui really can't find a job, then I'll go to the countryside, and let her take over my position."

Song Niannian cried out in alarm, "No!"

Song Suisui waved her hands and said, "I don't want Big Brother's job!"

Having read the original novel, Song Suisui naturally knew how miserable Song Bai's life was after going to the countryside; how could she let him go again!

Being shouted at by the two sisters, Song Bai couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Sigh~

He was clearly the older brother, right? Why was he so afraid of his little sisters?

So embarrassing.

"You don't need to worry about my job. I'll go out tomorrow to ask a friend for some information."

Song Suisui and Song Niannian's school had been reported in March, so all the eleventh-grade students were graduated early.

That was why they were at home right now.

Additionally, since they were not yet sixteen, and given Song Jianjun and Ma Xiumei's connections, the people from the Street Committee and the Educated Youth Office were not in a hurry to press them.

Therefore, Song Niannian and Song Suisui's jobs had to be settled as soon as possible.

Regarding the five hundred yuan needed to buy a job, Song Niannian could only get it from the family for the time being.

After all, within three days, she truly couldn't scrape together five hundred yuan on her own.

As for Song Suisui, she wasn't in a hurry at all. She remembered that in the novel, there was a black market in an alleyway near the machinery factory, where the boss not only resold supplies but also dealt in real estate and jobs.

However, the prices were a bit exorbitant and might be higher than the price of Song Niannian's cooperative job.

But as long as she could buy a job, Song Suisui could find another way to handle the money.

If all else failed, she could borrow it from the Song parents; she would definitely pay them back in the future.

In truth, the Song family was not poor; they could afford the five hundred yuan to buy a job for Song Niannian.

After all, with four workers in the family, it was impossible that they couldn't save up five hundred yuan.

So, after learning that Song Niannian wanted to buy a job, Ma Xiumei went to her room to get five hundred yuan for her, telling her to finalize the job as soon as possible to avoid any complications.

And if Song Suisui wanted to buy a job, they wouldn't be stingy either.

After speaking, the Song family members went back to their rooms to rest.

Song Suisui returned to her room and looked at the blind box countdown that had already begun.

The nine-grid layout was still glowing with golden light; she chose three of them based on intuition.

This time, the three blind boxes yielded five cans of milk powder, five hundred yuan, and a spatial storage ring.

"Wow, Salty Fish, you're much more generous tonight than you were at noon!"

Song Suisui, who had been worrying about money, had opened five hundred yuan. Combined with the hundred yuan from noon, she now had six hundred, which should be enough to buy a good job.

The five cans of milk powder could be used to nourish her body. She was only fifteen; with some nourishment, she might even grow a few more centimeters.

Speaking of transmigrating into the book, what she was most dissatisfied with was how she had inexplicably become much shorter.

Before transmigrating, Song Suisui's height was 170 cm, but after transmigrating, she was a pitiful 160 cm.

She didn't even hope to be as tall as before; she just wanted to reach 165 cm.

*Sob sob sob~ Who understands her pain?!*

Of course, the thing she was most excited about was the spatial ring she had been longing for.

After Song Suisui followed the instructions to drip her blood to bind and claim ownership, she checked the area of the space.

The storage ring's space wasn't large, only about twenty square meters.

But twenty square meters was enough for her to use; a storage ring was truly an essential item for home and travel.

Oh yeah~ (*/＼*)

...

The next morning, Song Niannian took the money and went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the east of the city.

Song Suisui left just before and after her, taking a bus to the vicinity of the machinery factory.

She circled around several times before finding the extremely secluded black market.

Finding a deserted spot, she took out the cosmetics she had obtained from the blind box that morning and began to transform herself.

After a while, a girl with dark skin, short stature, and protruding teeth appeared.

The cosmetics Song Suisui had drawn this morning were no ordinary cosmetics; they were a professional makeup artist's kit.

Besides the cosmetics, there were also many tools like disguising wigs.

A very thin man was guarding the entrance to the black market. Seeing her approach, he asked in a low voice, "Buying or selling?"

"Both buying and selling," Song Suisui said softly. "But the things I want to buy only your boss has. Could this little brother please introduce me?"

Skinny Monkey glanced at Song Suisui. Seeing her smile and her protruding teeth, he immediately felt it was an eyesore, but he certainly wouldn't refuse business coming to his door. Thus, he told her to wait and walked into the alley.

After a while, he brought a man out to take over his lookout, while he led the heavily disguised Song Suisui into the alley.

Arriving in front of a house, Skinny Monkey knocked on the door.

A voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Skinny Monkey quickly said, "Brother Piao, it's me, Skinny Monkey."

With a *click*, the door opened a crack. Brother Piao glanced at Skinny Monkey and then sized up Song Suisui.

Finally, he opened the door and let them in.

Once in the courtyard, Skinny Monkey whispered a few words to Brother Piao.

Brother Piao looked at Song Suisui and then said, "Skinny Monkey says you want to buy and also sell. Can you say what you want to buy and what you want to sell?"

This Brother Piao had sharp eyes, but Song Suisui was not intimidated at all.

"I want to buy a job. As for the things I want to sell, I can only bring them out once I meet your boss."

Hearing this, Brother Piao gave Skinny Monkey a look, then stepped toward the main hall of the house.

In less than three minutes, Brother Piao opened the door and made a gesture for Song Suisui to enter.

Song Suisui hurried inside. Once in the room, she found two people: one was slightly younger, looking to be in his early twenties, and the other looked to be around the same age as Song Jianjun.

For a moment, she didn't know which one was the boss of this black market.

"Little girl, what do you want to buy?" the older one spoke.

Song Suisui didn't dwell on the question of who the boss was.

"I want to buy a job!"
