Chapter 766 [(*^▽^*)]
Logically speaking, even so, there shouldn't be such a frantic search for Lin Leyou. It's actually because Lin Letian caused trouble. He got into a fight with a classmate at school and broke someone's arm.
Now their family members have come knocking on our door, asking for 100,000 yuan right off the bat.
Just kidding, let alone 100,000, she can't even come up with 10,000. She only has a pitiful 1,000 left in her card, which was earned by Zhou Meijuan from odd jobs last month.
This amount of money isn't even enough to cover medical expenses. Now they have to stay at home, and the children are kept indoors because if they go out, people will come to their door begging for money.
Finally, having no other choice, they planned to call the police. Of course, before they could, the child's parents did so. If they had been any later, the perpetrators might have filed a complaint first.
After the police arrived, they obviously couldn't keep the door closed, since the matter still needed to be resolved.
Lin Leyou kept an eye on their situation using the mechanical spider. In the end, the matter was resolved, but they only received compensation for medical expenses and some nutritional expenses, and that was it.
Neither side was satisfied, but the matter officially ended there. It can be said that although Lin Letian was not expelled, his days at school were certainly not as good as before.
Of course... right now, the most important thing for Lin Jiashu and his wife is not this matter, but that they are out of money. They had borrowed a lot of money before to pay for the compensation.
They even owed money because of this. They said they would lend it to us for a month. What if we can't pay it back after a month?
"What do I do now? I need the money from odd jobs to cover my daily expenses. Am I supposed to just stop eating?"
Lin Jiashu puffed on his cigarette, looking very annoyed, but Zhou Meijuan saw this and became very angry, "You still have money to buy cigarettes? Where did you get the money?"
Lin Jiashu, with a volatile temper, yelled, "Did you see I have a cigarette pack on me? Someone gave it to me! This is the only one; do you want to sell it?!"
Zhou Meijuan backed down, "Otherwise, we could sell all the furniture in the house. We could get several hundred yuan for this set of table and chairs secondhand, and then buy a cheaper table to make do, plus the air conditioner..."
Lin Jiashu had no other choice but to do this, but after selling the goods, he found that the money was still not enough!
After checking the house and finding nothing of value, they frantically called Lin Leyou that night, knowing full well that Lin Leyou wouldn't answer.
Xue Rui found it annoying, so he picked up his phone, silenced it, and tossed it aside, letting Lin Leyou continue what he was doing.
When Lin Leyou woke up the next day, he picked up his phone and pressed a couple of buttons but nothing happened. He then realized that his phone was out of battery. Goodness, how many calls had he made last night?
He used the mechanical spider to check. After the couple sent their child to school, they went back to the village to borrow money from the villagers.
The first place they went to was Qian Feng's house. After all, everyone in the village knew that Qian Feng had become successful and made a lot of money. This time, they didn't mention a short time for repayment, only saying that they would repay the money during the Chinese New Year.
The Qian family doesn't particularly value a few thousand yuan anymore; they'll just celebrate the New Year.
So Lin Jiashu and his group returned to town with several thousand yuan. They first paid back the money they had borrowed in town, and then calculated how long the remaining money could last.
The two of them quickly looked for jobs. Originally, Lin Jiashu worked outside while Zhou Meijuan did odd jobs and took care of the children. However, Lin Jiashu's situation was not good, so they had to switch jobs.
Lin Jiashu found odd jobs near his home, paid daily, earning a few dozen yuan a day. Zhou Meijuan, on the other hand, went out and found a full-time job. Although it was also quite tiring, she could earn three or four thousand yuan a month.
In this way, Zhou Meijuan became the head of the household.
The person who picks up and drops off Lin Letian every day has also become Lin Jiashu, and the person who cooks at home has also become Lin Jiashu, whether the food is good or not is another matter.
If they had continued living like this, although life would have been a little tight, they could still have managed. However, Zhou Meijuan gradually changed her mind.
After paying off her debts before the Lunar New Year, Zhou Meijuan started buying herself some new clothes and small pieces of jewelry, including some silver jewelry, which weren't very expensive.
However, this still gave Zhou Meijuan a lot of confidence, especially now that she is the one earning money for the family.
At this time, every household outside was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, preparing for the New Year. However, Zhou Meijuan had just returned from outside. When she entered the house, she found her father and son sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for her.
Feeling a little guilty, she took the things she was carrying to the kitchen and then brought out several plates of meat and vegetables. "I was just too busy today, that's why I'm back late. Luckily, there are meat vendors on the way. Come and eat!"
Lin Letian was already starving. The food Lin Jiashu had prepared was barely edible. He had lost weight from hunger recently, so he couldn't wait to get some meat and start eating.
"Mom, when are you coming back to cook for me? Dad's cooking is terrible."
Zhou Meijuan looked at Lin Letian and reached out to touch his hair, but when she saw how greasy and matted his hair was, she withdrew her hand halfway and tucked her own hair behind her ear.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Mom has to go to work to earn money. If she doesn't go to work, we won't be able to eat this meat anymore."
Lin Letian wavered between eating meat and having his mother stay home from work to take care of him. In the end, he decided to eat meat. "Then why doesn't Dad go to work?"
Zhou Meijuan: "Dad's health isn't good, and besides... Dad also has a job."
She thought to herself that it was just a little less money, but she didn't say it out loud. What if Lin Jiashu got angry and beat her up if she did?
She still clearly remembered how Lin Jiashu used to hit people, especially recently... Every time she bought new clothes or some cheap jewelry, Lin Jiashu's eyes would be filled with daggers when he looked at her!
Looking at her son, she thought of the money she had secretly saved, and a different thought began to form in her mind. However, this thought was merely the first seed planted.
For it to take root and sprout, it will probably take quite a while, maybe one or two years, maybe three or four years. When the time will come depends on how the family develops.
After reading it, Lin Leyou stopped paying attention. The family of three was still getting by, but the once all-powerful head of the household was now reduced to taking care of the child at home, while his original wife was supporting the family. Such a change was enough to torment Lin Jiashu, a man with a strong sense of male chauvinism.
Just wait and see. Lin Jiashu can endure it now, but that's only for now. When his headaches get worse, his temper will become even more volatile, and that will be when his whole family will fall into hell.
What kind of life did he live in his past life?
He works tirelessly day and night, desperately trying to earn money, but none of the money belongs to him. Even if he wants to buy a second-hand phone, he has to tell his family in advance. He doesn't buy new clothes for years, and he continues to wear clothes that are as worn as rags. Even so, he is not allowed to keep any money in his pocket.
All his money came from these people...
In this lifetime... at least let them experience what it's like to have only a few hundred dollars in living expenses for the whole year. He lived like that for decades.
Xue Rui grabbed his hand, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Leyou snapped back to reality, looked at him, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Oh no, she had been thinking about things from her past life again. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something bad."
Xue Rui knew that he was probably thinking about his hometown again. Lin Leyou would always feel down whenever he recalled the past.
He had tried many times to persuade Lin Leyou to let go, but upon reflection, he realized that he himself felt the same way when recalling past events. It's not that once a person dies, things will truly be over.
Many wounds can last a lifetime, and people can only try their best to avoid recalling them. Therefore, he can now understand Lin Leyou's current situation.
Lin Leyou touched his face, "Are you thinking about it too?"
Xue Rui looked at him, and he was right; he had also thought of the past. "I don't want to think about it anymore."
Lin Leyou didn't even have time to feel sorry for herself, "I don't want to think about it anymore."
Don't think about it in front of him. Talk about it when you're sleeping, for example, after you close your eyes, or when you're at the company, when Xue Rui is working and you're resting.
This year, they don't need to go to the old house for the Lunar New Year, because Grandpa has passed away. Death can be very simple sometimes; people just disappear without a trace.
Lin Leyou couldn't help but think that if they didn't seize the opportunity of the Super Star Dungeon this time, Xue Rui would one day end up like Grandpa Xue...
He took a deep breath, determined... absolutely had to succeed!
Although the New Year was somewhat lonely, they were fortunate to still have each other.
It was time for Lin Leyou to find himself a job in the Endless World. After graduating, he didn't go straight to work, and his teachers at school said they could arrange something for him anytime.
This is the advantage of the infinite world: here, you can use points to get by no matter what. He has already been making exceptions for a while, but he needs to save his points and can no longer make exceptions.
Of course, he could choose not to go to that Peace Hospital, which would eliminate the need for leniency, but... in Endless City, this hospital is one of the top-ranked, and he even participated in a dungeon there before.
I'm quite familiar with this place, and it's actually quite nice to be able to work here.
Staying in the Endless World, you can't just stay at home every day without finding something to do... right?
When he arrived at Peace Hospital, he suddenly felt that he might have been a bit silly, rushing to find himself a job? He suddenly thought of those students who had just entered the hospital in the real world, so busy that they wished they had three heads and six arms.
So it should be similar in the endless world?
But since he's already here, he'll give it a try. If it really doesn't work out, he'll resign. After all, his relationship with Xue Rui is the most important thing.
He thought the hospital in the Endless World would be very busy, but he didn't expect that working in the hospital here would be so easy. Even though he was just a recent graduate, he wasn't assigned a lot of work.
