"No, didn't Brother Meng tell me before that we had guests coming home, so he asked me to go back first and then come back to feed them after the guests left? Why did you suddenly give them away?"

"This is the city, not the countryside. We can't keep so many chickens and ducks at home all the time, right?

"There happened to be a car available that day, so I asked someone to take him away. Meng Ge also said at the time that he would let you know when he had time. I guess he's been busy lately and forgot."

Although Menzi refused to let her in, his attitude was acceptable and he patiently explained things to her.

But at this moment, a chicken ran out from the door.

Seeing this, Menzi yelled, "Red Dot, go back quickly, or the neighbor's cat will take you away!"

The chicken seemed to understand what people were saying. It flapped its wings, turned around and ran back.

When Mrs. Guo saw this, her face changed.

Menzi was about to explain, but she didn't listen and left without looking back.

"What else can I say? They clearly don't want to use me anymore!"

After returning to her residence, Mrs. Guo cleaned the house while complaining to her son.

"Do you think it was Boss Ye and his wife who stole my job?"

"Mom, I think you're just thinking too much." Guo Shijie was copying a book and comforted her, "People in the capital can't raise such a large flock of chickens and ducks, right?

"Besides, you said before when you came back that the chicken called Red Dot is very smart. Maybe they kept that one!"

"Anyway, I always feel that something is not right. If not, why would Boss Ye and his wife appear in the Cen family?"

"Oh, Mom, how would I know that?" Guo Shijie said helplessly, "No matter what the reason is, it's come to this, don't think about it.

"Now that my father and I have a more stable income, you don't have to work so hard.

"If you want to do something, find something easy to do. If you don't want to do anything, just rest at home."

"Why are you taking a break?" Mrs. Guo was not willing to sit idle. "I'll go out and find a job soon."

Although the basic food and accommodation for the family of five are now guaranteed, Mrs. Guo still has some money saved.

But this amount of money is not enough in Beijing. If something happens at home, it will be emptied out immediately.

Besides, Mrs. Guo didn't want to live such a cramped life in the capital for the rest of her life.

She wanted to save some money, buy a house in the countryside, and buy a few acres of land to live on.

However, having experienced such a great job with little work, Mrs. Guo's job search this time was not very smooth.

Most of them are jobs with little pay, and she now looks down on them.

It’s not that there aren’t jobs that pay more for less work, but Mrs. Guo just doesn’t like such employers.

After looking around for a while, she failed to reach an agreement with any of them. In the end, she was even ridiculed by others. Mrs. Guo was so angry that she turned around and went home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got home, Meng Yu came over asking for directions.

"Aunt Guo." Meng Yu saw Mrs. Guo washing clothes in the house and knew she had come to the right place. She walked in and said, "I heard from the doorman that you came to see me."

"Meng'er." Mrs. Guo stood up quickly when she saw Meng Yu, and rubbed her wet hands against her waist repeatedly. "What brings you here? Come in and sit down."

"I won't go into the house."

When Meng Yu looked up, he saw Guo Shijie, who was busy copying books, through the open window.

"Aunt Guo, it's just what Menzi said. All the chickens and ducks in the house have been sent away, leaving only the red dot.

"It's just that there have been too many things going on at home recently. First, I was busy with the store opening. The store just opened yesterday, and the old man fell ill in the evening.

"But it's my fault for not informing you. I guess it delayed you from finding other work, didn't it?"

Meng Yu said, pulling out a large bunch of copper coins from his pocket and handing them to Mrs. Guo, saying, "To make up for it, I'll give you my wages for these days, how about that?"

He has done so much, what else can Mrs. Guo say?

She accepted the copper coins with profuse gratitude, sent Meng Yu out, and then walked back with a worried look on her face.

Guo Shijie, who saw and heard everything in the yard, said, "Mom, although this young man is young, he speaks and acts very openly and generously!"

"Who says it's not?" Hearing her son say this, Mrs. Guo felt more and more regretful. "This is a good job that is hard to find even with a lantern, and I met a good boss.

“But I originally thought that this job could last at least until the Mid-Autumn Festival!

"Who knew they wouldn't need me so soon?"

Thinking about the people she met when she went out to look for work today, Mrs. Guo felt more and more that she had suffered a great loss.

She suddenly asked, "Shijie, did Mr. and Mrs. Ye never have children? Am I remembering correctly?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Guo Shijie's heart was pounding when he heard what Mrs. Guo said. He thought to himself, could it be that she was thinking of giving her own child to someone else to raise?

Although he had two sons and his family lived in extreme poverty, he never considered giving his sons up for adoption.

"I saw the couple at the Cen family's house today. They were holding a child who looked about four years old.

"She was well dressed, but unfortunately she was covered by her cloak, so I couldn't see her clearly.

"Where did they get this child? Did they kidnap him and sell him..."

As soon as Mrs. Guo finished speaking, Guo Shijie interrupted her speechlessly, "Mom, what are you thinking about?
