After Shen Xiaobei left for two days, Ma Deliang found two tutoring jobs.
It was to tutor science for the children of two high-ranking officials in the same compound.
With his two golden reputations of being a graduate of Beijing University and the provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination, he is very popular as a tutor. His employers are very polite to him and his students also respect him very much.
He goes out early and comes back late every day, and only goes back to the courtyard at night to wash up and sleep.
Moreover, Ma Deliang was also very sensible. He took the initiative to tell Gao Hongmian that he would pay the rent to her after his tutoring salary was paid, and he would not live here for free.
Gao Hongmian said that they were all from the same hometown and it was impossible to charge him rent, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Compared with Ma Deliang's diligence and sense of propriety, after a long time, Du Wenli became an eyesore to Gao Hongmian.
He stayed in the courtyard for a few days before finally finding a part-time job as a laborer at a construction site, but he quit after only a few days.
He also told Duan Donglin at the dinner table that the people working on the construction site were extremely rude and he couldn't get along with any of them.
What he meant was that doing menial work was unfair to him as a college student.
But if he doesn't do odd jobs, what else can he do?
No one would hire an ordinary college student like him as a tutor!
Seeing that he was neither high nor low, he was never polite when eating in the courtyard every day, as if Duan Donglin was his brother and he deserved to eat him.
Gao Hongmian finally understood what Shen Xiaobei had told her before he left. She really couldn't treat this person as a real friend or a distinguished guest.
Otherwise, he really regarded this courtyard as his home.
Even though he didn't work every day, someone still provided him with meals, and the meals were quite rich.
Seeing that Du Wenli had been living and eating here for more than half a month, one day during dinner, he saw him and Duan Donglin being brothers again, and talking about military affairs.
Gao Hongmian really couldn't bear to hear it, and didn't want Duan Donglin to get closer to someone like him.
Then he said tactfully, "Brother Du, you've been in Beijing for so long and haven't found a job. Why don't you go home and see your wife and children? Your daughter is still so young and needs her father to spend more time with her. Don't you agree, Donglin?"
"Well……"
Duan Donglin was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
In fact, he has almost seen clearly what kind of person Du Wenli is during this period of time.
Men like Deng Yuliang and Ye Zhicheng go home to see their wives and children as soon as they have a holiday because their wives and children are at home. They are obviously responsible and family-oriented men.
Du Wenli never goes home, and he has been here for so long, but I have never heard him mention his wife and children.
When going out to work, he is picky.
It seems that college students are superior to the lower-class people who do hard labor. They completely forget that before going to college, they were also farmers in the countryside, facing the loess and back to the sky.
However, as a man, Duan Donglin was naturally embarrassed to say these words out loud.
He just felt that he and Du Wenli were not the same kind of people. He treated him like brothers at the dinner table every day, but it was only out of helplessness and he didn't want to offend anyone.
Du Wenli felt a little embarrassed when he suddenly heard Gao Hongmian say this and Duan Donglin did not speak up for him.
He forced a stiff smile and replied, "Haha, sister-in-law, it's mainly because we're too far away. It's too troublesome to go back. I still think it's better to find a job in Beijing."
"But you've been looking for more than half a month and still can't find one! I think it's not easy to find a job in Beijing. Unless you are a top student from a prestigious university like Brother Ma, then it will be easier to find a job."
"Brother Du, I'm really thinking about you. I think it's best for you to go home and see your wife and children."
"Look, your wife and children aren't from the Baiju Brigade. If you're not here, they'll be all alone and helpless. It's pitiful just to think about it!"
"Now is the busy farming season. If you go back, you can visit them and make them happy, and you can also help your wife earn some work points so that they can get more grain at the end of the year. This is killing two birds with one stone!"
"It's definitely better than wasting your time here, don't you think, Donglin?"
"Yes, Wenli, what your sister-in-law said is indeed reasonable. I also think that you should go back to Baiju Brigade for the summer vacation and spend time with your wife and children. After all, it's not easy for them to be alone there."
"If you don't have enough money for the trip, we can lend you some!"
After Duan Donglin finished speaking, he looked at Gao Hongmian.
Gao Hongmian was a little unhappy, but since Duan Donglin had already asked for it, she had to help even if she didn't want to.
Anyway, as long as Du Wenli can be sent away, it would be worth giving him some travel expenses.
"Well... since Brother Duan and Sister-in-law have said so, Wenli will listen to you and return to Baiju Brigade tomorrow. I will find a way to return the travel expenses to you when Wenli arrives."
"Wenli, there's no rush. It's not too late to pay it back when you have money later."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Duan. Wen Li toasts you and sister-in-law!"
Since someone was providing the travel expenses, Du Wenli thought about it and finally decided to return to the Baiju Brigade.
However, he returned to Baiju Brigade not to earn work points for Kong Wanwan, but to make some money from her and take it back to Beijing.
In the past few years since they got married, Kong Wanwan's parents have been secretly supporting her. He knew that her family could afford it, and Kong Wanwan must have some private money.
She has her family to rely on, but he has no one to rely on, so he can only get what he can from her.
After another three and a half years, when he graduates from college, he will no longer rely on anyone and will live a decent life to show all those who looked down on him in the past and now.
The next day, after paying for the journey, Gao Hongmian finally sent Du Wenli, the tactless man, away. She immediately felt that the entire courtyard felt much more refreshed.
She wrote a letter to Shen Xiaobei and told her about it.
In her reply, Shen Xiaobei said that if it were her, she would not lend Du Wenli a penny for the travel expenses, because if she lent it to him, there would be no favor at all, and he would definitely not return it.
Gao Hongmian said in her reply that there was nothing she and Donglin could do, after all, they were from the same hometown.
If it can be settled with money without completely breaking up the relationship, then I have no choice but to settle it with money.
Shen Xiaobei actually agreed with Gao Hongmian's words.
She knew that when a person is already in trouble, you must never push him to the brink of despair, because those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If you push such a person to the brink of despair, don’t you know what he will do?
Or if he turns over a new leaf one day, how will he take revenge on you?
This is also one of the reasons why Shen Xiaobei, although he has always hated Du Wenli and wished to never have anything to do with people like him and never say a word to him, has never completely torn his face with him openly.
He came to the courtyard with several other people, and she didn't just call him out and tell him to get out immediately.
She was not being generous to Du Wenli, she just didn't want to have another person hate her.
