Dad can't work anymore, and Mom is just a temp, and all my younger brothers and sisters are still little. We might not even be able to live in these workers' quarters soon, let alone survive.
Once people find out, the consequences could be big or small. Xia Xiao thought about the current era, unsure if it would become a huge problem.
So she asked, "Dad, Mom, does anyone else know about this?"
"Your grandparents, uncles, aunts, and Mom's relatives should all know," Li Wenjuan said.
Xia Weiguo obviously caught Xia Xiao's drift and nodded; family matters indeed can't be kept secret among relatives.
Xia Xiao's heart sank at the thought. If this was exposed during a special period, it would spell big trouble.
Xia Weiguo said, "It's not a big deal; at worst, I'd lose my job."
"Big sis, it's alright. These things happen all the time, and besides, if our family loses the power plant job, what will we do? We definitely won't be able to live here anymore."
