While Kishimoto's cause is in full swing, the Sakai family, who are far away in Kochi Prefecture, are about to fall into economic difficulties.

Although the Asian financial crisis has passed, the actual feeling of the economic recovery has not been felt by the vast majority of people.

If there is no money in the pocket, who will take the initiative to travel? The ancestral folk inn run by Aiko Sakai can no longer support it and is about to close down.

At the same time, a local bank in Kochi Prefecture, where her husband Masao Sakai works, is also struggling. After all, local banks and local economies are mutually reinforcing.

If the local economy is not in good shape, businesses will close and go bankrupt one after another, which will naturally have a negative impact on the local banking industry.

Whether it is a bank or any company, as long as there are operational difficulties, the most direct and effective way to balance the financial income statement is to lay off employees.

In the event of a layoff within a Japanese company, the first choice is to lay off those who are over 40 years old, have no relationship, no performance, and no technical ...... But old employees with higher salaries.

Masao Sakai is on the list of layoffs. The reason why he knew in advance was that he had been called by the Minister of Personnel for an interview.

The Minister of Personnel meant nothing more clearly, that is, to let him hurry to find the next home. Not only is the overall economic environment not good, but the local economy is not good, so how easy is it to get re-employed?

Even young people in their twenties in Kochi Prefecture are not able to find jobs locally, and an old man like him, who is over 50 years old, has no strong skills, what other jobs can he do?

Since graduating from university, Masao Sakai has not been spared even if he has never been late or left early, and has been rated as an advanced employee every year.

At this time, Sakai and his wife sat face to face in the living room of their home. He looked at her, and she looked at him, but there was nothing he could do.

"If there is really no other way, go and talk to justice. Now, he's a great man. Aiko Sakai had to worry about her future livelihood.

"It's not right for me to go! It's up to you to go! In some things, it is much more convenient for a woman to come forward than for a man to come forward.

You don't need to talk to Justice directly, just talk to Rie first, and then let her blow the pillow wind to Justice. "Masao Sakai really can't let go of his face. Even if he doesn't have much money, he is the quasi-father-in-law of Kishimoto Justice.

In his opinion, as long as an individual has not begged each other in a low manner, then he can maintain the majesty that he should have as an elder. On the contrary, it is another thing, after all, it is to take people short and eat people softly.

"I'm afraid you've forgotten about us a long time ago. She certainly doesn't care about our lives or deaths. Aiko Sakai blurted out.

"What do you mean by that?" said Sakai Masao, who didn't know what he meant.

"I told Rie about the difficulties of running an ancestral folk inn a long time ago, and I made it clear that I asked her to go and talk to Justice, hoping to get an investment from him and tide over the difficulties.

Guess what Rie ended up answering me?" said Aiko Sakai who told the truth that her husband didn't know.

"Before the dead child had officially married into the door of Kishimoto's house, he began to bend his elbows towards her husband's house. Why didn't you tell me sooner that I knew?

From next month, don't send her living expenses. Besides, don't send the tuition fees in the future. Let her know that one is awesome. Sakai Masao suddenly said angrily.

"It's not like I haven't thought about your financial punishment for Rie. Now, Rie doesn't like the little money we gave her. Not only that, but she is not short of money at all. Aiko Sakai smiled bitterly.

"She's not short of money, so where does her money come from? Is it to steal or to rob?" said Masao Sakai a little dizzy.

"Where can Rie's money come from, isn't it all righteous money?, haven't you listened to what Mirei says every time she comes home from Tokyo?" reminded Aiko Sakai.

"Damn, after raising Rie for twenty years, I actually raised a white-eyed wolf. Knowing that it was today's result, Lao Tzu should not have personally sent her to Kishimoto's house in Tokyo. Sakai Masao said indignantly.

"Honey, I know you're in a bad mood because of the bank layoffs. However, Rie is our daughter after all.

What's more, she has a clear and tall character, you don't know, and you'd rather bend than bend. "Aiko Sakai is more rational than her husband.

"Now, you regret it, if I were Brother Justice's fiancée, I would definitely help you. Mirei Sakai suddenly opened the bedroom door and walked out of her room.

When Mr. and Mrs. Sakai saw her appearance, they were immediately stunned. They didn't expect their second daughter to be at home, and they mistakenly thought that she was still in Tokyo.

Aiko Sakai looked at Mirei Sakai and asked, "When did you come home?"

"I'll be home before you come back. Mirei Sakai told the truth.

"You heard everything I said to your father?" asked Aiko Sakai knowingly.

Mirei Sakai didn't deny it or say, "I heard it all." You just want Brother Justice to help you tide over the difficulties!

But you're too embarrassed to open your mouth directly at him. So, I thought about asking my sister Rie to talk about Brother Justice.

I didn't expect my sister to be reluctant to help with this. I can go to Brother Justice for you and tell him about the practical difficulties of our family. ”

She paused deliberately here, and then continued, "I have a small request for you. Actually, for you, it's not a difficult thing, it's just an objective statement of an established fact in front of Brother Justice.

The marriage contract between our Sakai family and the Kishimoto family didn't say that it had to be my sister to marry Brother Justice, so my marriage was exactly the same.

This will not be a loss for the Sakai family. Both me and Rie are the daughters of the Sakai family. For you, however, there is an essential difference.

If I marry Brother Justice instead, I will definitely always help my mother's family. You will have endless blessings in the future. Not only you, but also my younger brother Shota will be stained with me.

Besides, I've always felt that my sister is reluctant to marry Brother Justice. Since she doesn't want to, then don't force her!, not to mention that grandpa did say on his deathbed that if Rie didn't want to marry Brother Justice, I could replace it. ”

Meiling said this, but it is a good way. Sakai Masao began to have disappointment in his eldest daughter, and it was only then that he was moved.
