"I understand, I understand. I told your in-laws at the time that since we're the ones asking for the favor and you're the ones helping us, we'll definitely cover any fees or expenses involved. Mubo's Second Uncle, just tell me what you need, and I'll go get it." The old woman was more than willing to pay the money.
Li Wantun rubbed his hands together and said in a low voice, "A job at the textile factory is considered top-tier these days. They're asking for quite a bit. My father-in-law has a good relationship with the contact, which is why they finally relented a little. They're asking for twenty yuan and fifty jin of grain."
For an ordinary family, this was no small sum of money and grain. But to his surprise, the old woman agreed instantly.
"Alright, that's not much. Wait here, I'll go get it for you right now." The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, having expected a much higher price.
