Chapter 381 The Bankbook is Missing

Even if Huo Chunyan's family is doing well, so what? They won't help him find a job, so there's no point in him continuing to associate with them.

It's better to cut ties.

The young man said thoughtfully, "She looks quite pretty; she must have married someone very important."

Lin Jidong immediately exclaimed excitedly, "What do you care who she married? It's none of our business, and I won't have anything to do with her either!"

Anyway, he wouldn't try to please Huo Chunyan anymore, so let them be.

The young man smiled and said nothing more. He knew that Lin Jidong was now his big client, and he couldn't afford to offend him. He had originally thought that Lin Jidong knew some powerful people, but judging from his appearance, he wasn't familiar with Huo Chunyan, otherwise he wouldn't have approached him. So he could confidently swindle Lin Jidong.

After all, people in their line of work are most afraid of the other party having powerful backers.

After Huo Chunyan returned, she first played with the child.

Just then, Sun Baojun arrived, carrying a large basket of mulberries. Each mulberry was round and wild. Mulberries were plentiful and worthless these days, as the leaves were all picked to feed silkworms.

"Wow, there's so much! Take some and give it to your sister-in-law."

Huo Chunyan thought Shen Zhixia would definitely like it: "Sister-in-law lives in the city, she probably has never seen mulberries before, let's take them to her and let her have a taste."

Sun Baojun said, "There's too much. I'll make it into mulberry jam and then give it to her."

Huo Chunyan said, "Then I'll do it."

She was worried that Shen Zhixia wouldn't like the jam Sun Baojun made, so she decided to cook it herself.

Making mulberry jam is actually quite simple; you just need to add sugar. Since she was going to send it to Shen Zhixia, she was quite generous with the amount of sugar.

Just then, a sudden inspiration struck her, and she remembered.

She had previously felt that the young man who was with Lin Jidong looked familiar. It turned out that the young man had a dispute with someone at the clinic. The young man was feeling unwell and came to the clinic for treatment, but he didn't pay. When she asked him for the money, he insisted that he had no money and argued for a long time.

Such a person is certainly of very poor character.

Huo Chunyan immediately told Sun Baojun about it.

Sun Baojun hadn't expected Lin Jidong to quit his job. At his age, finding such a job was already quite good.

He has backbone; he resigned as soon as he said he would.

After resigning, he got together with someone who had very bad character.

Huo Chunyan said, "Although I don't know that person, he seems like a swindler. I've seen him outside the clinic many times. He's always doing nothing. Do you think Lin Jidong might be deceived by him if he's with him?"

Although she wasn't familiar with Lin Jidong, he was over fifty years old and no longer young. It wasn't the outcome she wanted to see him being deceived.

She thought she should remind Lin Jidong.

Sun Baojun thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I've been to Lin Jidong before, and I don't plan to associate with him anymore. He's dishonest. Although I got to know him because of Xiang Yang, that's the end of it. Besides, I don't think he's a grateful person. Even if you remind him, he might not be grateful to you."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I'll have someone else remind him a couple of times; whether he listens or not is up to him."

In short, he would no longer get involved in Lin Jidong's affairs, and he didn't want Huo Chunyan to get involved either.

Huo Chunyan thought it made sense, so she agreed.

After she finished making the mulberry jam, she put it in jars. She made seven jars in total, and gave two of them to Shen Zhixia.

Shen Zhixia was delighted to see the mulberry jam: "I just steamed some buns today, so we can eat them with the jam."

She gave Huo Chunyan a few more steamed buns.

Shen Zhixia had certainly seen mulberries before. Mulberries were still sold in later generations, but the price was much higher, unlike now, when they were everywhere in the wild.

When Sun Baojun found an opportunity, he mentioned it to Zhang Junying, telling her to be careful, as Lin Jidong had recently been associating with a person of very poor character, and that Lin Jidong had also resigned from his job, so she should be careful not to be deceived.

Zhang Junying was completely shocked: "Lin Jidong resigned?"

Lin Jidong had never told her about resigning, and he had been going to work as usual every day, so she assumed he was working.

What exactly are they doing?

Sun Baojun was somewhat surprised. He thought Zhang Junying already knew about this, but he didn't expect her to be completely unaware. However, he didn't say anything, but simply nodded and said, "He didn't like this job and resigned several days ago."

Zhang Junying: "..."

She was so angry she laughed.

Lin Jidong is really interesting; what exactly is he planning to do?

That same day, Zhang Junying went back and questioned Lin Jidong. When Lin Jidong realized he couldn't hide it any longer, he admitted, "Yes, I felt the pay for that job was too low, and I was too uncomfortable doing it, so I resigned."

So what if he resigned? It's his own job; can't he just quit?

Zhang Junying said angrily, "Do you know how easy it is to find you a job? Now that we finally have a suitable one, you actually refuse to do it."

Lin Jidong said, "Where would be suitable? I just don't like this job. By the way, you don't need to worry about it. I'll find a suitable job soon."

Zhang Junying asked warily, "What have you been doing these past few days?"

Lin Jidong said proudly, "I'm going to be a manager at the cannery next door. I'll earn over two hundred a month."

Zhang Junying looked at him as if he were a fool.

"What? You don't believe me?" Lin Jidong lowered his voice: "I found someone who has connections. As long as I pay two thousand yuan, he can buy me a job."

Two thousand yuan is a lot, but it can buy a factory management job, which isn't much. Anyway, Lin Jidong thinks it's a good deal.

Zhang Junying spat and said, "Have you been seeing a young man in his twenties lately?"

Lin Jidong frowned: "How did you know?"

Zhang Junying said, "Someone told me that person is a very bad person and a liar. You must not believe what he says. He's the one who told you that you can buy a job for two thousand yuan. He's lying to you."

"Anyway, I won't give you the money, and you don't have it."

A hint of guilt flashed across Lin Jidong's face.

A bad feeling crept into Zhang Junying's heart. She immediately opened the cabinet and then used a key to open a box.

Her heart sank.

"Where's the passbook?"

Lin Jidong remained silent.
