Lin Leyou had been trapped by his family his entire life. Right after graduating from high school, he was forced to start working to support them, all because he had just gained a younger brother. ...
Chapter 34 [Seeking support and collection]
What should we do? Lin Leyou is missing. He didn't get off at the station, but halfway there. Who knows where he's gone now!
He was also anxious, since he needed to go to the construction site early to find workers, otherwise he might not be able to get any work. He couldn't go back to find Lin Leyou.
With no other option, he could only rush to the construction site while calling Lin Jiashu.
Lin Jiashu had already returned home and was chatting and laughing with Zhou Meijuan.
Zhou Meijuan, "Have you talked to your Sen about it?"
Lin Jiashu nodded, "Don't worry, it's all agreed. Jiasen will hold his ID card so he can't go anywhere. We'll give it to him when he actually comes back with his money."
Zhou Meijuan happily made him lunch, "Is the construction site really like Jiasen said, where you can earn eight or nine thousand a month?"
Eight or nine thousand? That's almost the same as their combined salary when they were both able to work.
Lin Jiashu: "Of course, would my brother lie to me?"
Just then, Lin Jiashu's phone rang. It was a new phone he had just bought two days ago. He had given his old phone to Lin Leyou. He had originally planned to throw it away, but then he thought he could make use of it.
Lin Jiasen: "Hey, bro, Leyou's run away!"
Lin Jiashu was taken aback. "What did you say?"
"I said, your son ran away! The bus hadn't even reached its final stop yet, and he sneaked off halfway while I was dozing off!"
Lin Jiashu then realized, "Where did it go? Go find it right away!"
Lin Jiasen: "Brother, don't joke with me. I need to get to the construction site right away. This was introduced to me by my wife's relative, and I can't be late. There were supposed to be two seats, but now..."
Lin Jiashu, "Jiasen, wait a minute, I..."
Lin Jiasen didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, it was none of his business. The child was determined to run away, and he could only stop him temporarily, not forever.
Even if Lin Leyou didn't find a chance to leave on the bus, and his ID card was in his hands, he would definitely secretly take it away at the construction site and then sneak away.
If your heart isn't in it, you can't defend yourself at all.
"Alright, bro, didn't you give him your phone? Try calling him. If all else fails... the kid doesn't have any money. He'll come back on his own once he runs out of money."
Lin Jiashu: "Okay, okay, I'll contact you again later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Meijuan rushed over and asked, "What happened?"
Lin Jiashu was furious. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "That brat! I knew he was an ungrateful wretch! He got off the bus and ran away while Jiasen was dozing off!"
"Quickly check the money in the house, see if he's taken it!"
Zhou Meijuan hurriedly ran to her room to search for the money she had hidden, but after counting it herself, she found that none was missing.
Lin Jiashu walked in. "How is it?"
Zhou Meijuan was relieved. "Nothing's missing, nothing's missing. What's wrong with this child...?"
Lin Jiashu said, "This dog is really impossible to tame. He agreed so readily yesterday that I thought he had become sensible! I didn't expect him to still be so selfish."
Zhou Meijuan was at a loss. "What should I do? Is it even possible to get in touch with them?"
Lin Jiashu: "Shut down!"
Zhou Meijuan sat in her chair and slapped her thigh. "What are we going to do? Doesn't this child even consider the family's situation? What are we supposed to do?"
Lin Jiashu: "What else can we do? Let's wait for him to contact us."
Zhou Meijuan: "Will he contact us again?"
Lin Jiashu said, "Unless that brat never comes again."
Zhou Meijuan, "There's nothing we can do about it..."
After arriving in H City, Lin Leyou quickly found an agency to help him find an apartment. More than 20 years ago, rent in H City, the provincial capital, was not so expensive; you could rent a very nice apartment for 1,000 yuan a month.
Of course, a house in the city center wouldn't be suitable, but he still managed to rent a house in a relatively nice neighborhood. It was a spacious two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in a high-rise building, and the renovation was also very nice.
What do you think of this?
Lin Leyou inspected everything in the house, including the kitchen, toilet, doors, windows, and lights. Once everything was in order, she said, "This is fine. I'll rent it for a year."
The agent readily agreed, of course.
After signing the contract, Lin Leyou took the money from his account. The rent was 12,000 yuan, the deposit was 1,000 yuan, and the agency fee was 500 yuan. He only needed to pay him half a month's rent.
That adds up to 13,500. He reached into his bag, took out the money, and placed it on the table. He was still a little nervous, after all, this was the first time he had used this money, and he was worried about it being counterfeit...
Surely they wouldn't be that rip-off?
The small shop run by the real estate agent also had a money counter. After a quick check, there were no problems. Lin Leyou remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was truly relieved.
If you can spend it, then there's no problem.
"Okay, here's the key, keep it safe."
Lin Leyou put away the keys, got up and left. He needed to buy himself some things. The newly rented house had nothing but basic furniture and appliances.
However, he was still a little worried about the situation in the Endless World, so he needed to return to the Endless World as soon as possible. He was already worried on the way back.
So much time has passed, hasn't the endless world also been filled with this much time?
Damn it, if it were the time when the shop opened in the morning... wouldn't we be killed by the Song army?
After returning to the real world, he found himself back in the time right after graduating high school and starting all over again. He was so excited that it took him until now to realize what had happened.
Seriously, if we really go over time, we're 100% doomed.
Lin Leyou was very uneasy. She hurried back to the house, went straight to the bed with only a mattress in the room, and closed her eyes.
"Should we return to the endless world?"
Lin Leyou silently chose yes.
Inside the convenience store room, the person lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes. He looked around in a daze, then slowly got up.
What's going on? The room is still completely dark. Has a day already passed and it's night again?
That's not right either. If that were the case, Song Ying would definitely come looking for me.
He turned on the light and looked at the clock on the wall. "Hmm?"
At this moment, he received the belated notification from the system: "Random time selection, selected... Congratulations, you have selected fifteen minutes."
"The time that resident Lin Leyou spent in the real world this time was equivalent to fifteen minutes of the endless world."
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment. What did that mean?
“Resident Lin Leyou travels between the two worlds each time, and the time spent each time is randomly selected between one minute and ten hours.”
Lin Leyou was stunned. This meant that no matter how much time passed in the real world, when he returned to the Endless World, the time consumed in the Endless World would be randomly selected, ranging from one minute to ten hours.
