December 05, 2024 Am I going to have no place to live...

Am I about to lose my place to live...? My mom called me and asked if I had anything to say. I told her I had found a job.

Then she started talking, saying that my grandpa told her the landlord has been pressuring him to pay the rent. The landlord said it doesn’t have to be paid all at once; we could pay NT$10,000 first. Otherwise, we’d be kicked out of the place we’re living in. But as long as my grandpa is there, he won’t be kicked out.

As for the NT$10,000, my third uncle could pay it first. However, my mom must go to Chiayi to work. She was told to think about it for two days, but then they told her she doesn’t need to think anymore.

My mom said her friend also has a job for her. Her friend is a supervisor in the service industry, but the job is in Taipei. My mom would have to take a train to Banqiao, and her friend would pick her up. After work, her friend would drive her home as well. But what if her friend takes a day off? That would mean my mom has to take a day off on the same day.

Still, my mom says she can’t afford to send NT$10,000 to the landlord by December 15th.

She told me she’s exhausted and that talking to anyone doesn’t help. The family thinks she just doesn’t want to work, but she said it’s not that—she just can’t find a similar type of job. She’s applied to four different companies but hasn’t been accepted by any of them.

The reason she didn’t stick to her previous job was that she got injured while working. It was a work-related injury, so she resigned. She actually got hired for another job, but because her boyfriend injured her hand, my mom ended up losing that opportunity. By Chatgpt translate
