Chapter 138 Zhou Mingyuan's Self-Righteousness
After a night, the snow finally stopped.
The couple each have their own jobs, and after a day of rest, they each go to work.
After kicking her son and daughter-in-law out, Sun Yurong realized the seriousness of the situation.
Her daughter has gone abroad, her son is unreliable, and although her boyfriend is young and handsome, she has to spend her retirement money to support him.
Compared to herself, no matter how young and handsome a man was, it was useless. After a few days, Sun Yurong dumped the young man. She had no money in her pocket and no longer cared about saving face. She gritted her teeth and sold a set of jewelry.
Zhou Mingyuan looked at the account balance, walked over and sat down next to He Xishan, hesitatingly saying, "You..."
He Xishan looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Mingyuan lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm out of money in my card. I still have to pay for rent and Huihui's baby formula..."
His mother took most of the money from the antique sale last time. They had to rent a house and raise children, and the money was gone in just a few months.
At this moment, he had to admit, whether he wanted to or not, that without his original savings, he might not have been able to support his family.
Nothing could have hurt him more than this realization.
He Xishan also realized that her man might not be suited for business. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Why don't you go out and find a job?"
Zhou Mingyuan's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll go find a job. Don't worry, even if I work for someone else, I can still support you and your daughter."
He Xishan: "Yes, I believe you."
Zhou Mingyuan sent out resumes everywhere. He studied business administration in college, so he looked for jobs in that field. He sent out his resumes, but there was no response for half a month. The rent was due soon, and his baby formula was finished, but he still hadn't found a job.
He frowned and said, "Everyone says it's hard to find a job, and it really is. Not a single company has called me. Is the competition that fierce?"
He Xishan: "Why don't you put in more?"
Zhou Mingyuan: "I've sent out hundreds of copies, even some from neighboring cities, but there's been no response."
He Xishan: "With so many resumes, it's impossible that none of them will call you."
A thought suddenly struck her, and she said, "Could it be that the Zhou family did something to force you to go back?"
Zhou Mingyuan suddenly stood up: "I'll go find them."
He Xishan said angrily, "How could they treat you like this?"
Zhou Mingyuan: "I'll go find them right now."
He finished speaking and walked out.
It's the weekend, and not only are Zhou Mingshi and Lin Yi'an at home, but Zhou Mingyang and his family of three are also there.
Ye Lingzhi made some desserts for them to try, while Zhou Mingshi and Zhou Mingyang talked about company matters.
Lin Yi'an was helping Zhou Songran build Lego, while Yan Shuyan sat to the side watching them.
Grandpa and Grandma sat there drinking tea and playing chess. Zhou Kanghui didn't go out to play either; he stayed to play chess with his parents.
When Zhou Mingyuan arrived and saw them enjoying each other's company, his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
As soon as Zhou Kanghui saw him, he said irritably, "Coming over like this, people who don't know the situation will think we've done something to wrong you."
Zhou Mingyuan wiped his eyes, glaring at them with resentment: "Why are you doing this to me? Do you have to drive me to my death before you're satisfied?"
Zhou Mingyang clicked his tongue: "So dramatic."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Kanghui stood up abruptly. "Who forced you? Who has time to bother with your petty affairs?"
Zhou Mingyuan, his eyes red, said, "It has nothing to do with my mess. Why haven't any companies called me after I sent out so many resumes? You must have done something to force me to come back..."
How did he end up in such a family?
Zhou Mingshi suddenly laughed.
Zhou Mingyuan glared at him suddenly: "What are you laughing at? Was it you?"
Zhou Mingshi glanced at him and slowly said, "I'm not that bored, but two company bosses did call me to explain that their companies don't need managers or senior management personnel for the time being, and told me not to mind. I was a little puzzled at first..."
"Afterwards, I had Secretary Shen find out what happened. You sent them your resume, and the position you applied for was manager or senior management? They felt embarrassed, so they specifically called me to explain the situation."
Zhou Mingyang scoffed: "You've never worked before, and you have no work experience. You want to be a senior manager at someone else's company? What makes you think you can do that? Because you're arrogant? Or because of your experience as a young master of the Zhou family?"
Zhou Mingyuan's face flushed red. He said firmly, "I studied business administration, why can't I apply for a management position?"
Zhou Mingyang laughed loudly: "There are plenty of students in this major outside, who are you?"
Zhou Mingyuan blocked the way.
Zhou Qisheng slammed his teacup down on the tea table and snorted, "Nobody cares about your mess. Do whatever you want. Don't take yourself too seriously. Nobody forced you to come back. What would we do if we forced you back? To annoy us?"
Zhou Kanghui: "Stop making a fool of yourself here. Get out of here. No one in the Zhou family cares what you do, and we won't force you to come back. If we let you come back, we'd have to feed you and take care of you, and you might even annoy us from time to time. What can't we do with that money? Why do we have to support a wretched child like you who annoys us every day?"
Zhou Mingyuan blushed with embarrassment. He quickly walked out of the Zhou family's old house and onto the familiar road. Looking at the familiar scenery around him, he remembered the scene of running wildly here when he was a child. How did it become like this?
He returned home in a daze, and He Xishan rushed over to ask him, "Have they agreed not to interfere in your affairs anymore?"
Zhou Mingyuan twitched the corner of his mouth: "They...they didn't interfere in our affairs, nor did they care about my job search."
He Xishan: "That can't be. You've submitted so many resumes, surely one of them will call you..."
Zhou Mingyuan didn't want to admit it, but he had no choice. He stammered, "Maybe, maybe my expectations were too high, and I don't have any work experience..."
He Xishan: "What are your requirements?"
Zhou Mingyuan opened the resume for her to see, and He Xishan immediately fell silent after reading it.
Zhou Mingyuan sat down again: "But the wages of those ordinary employees are too low, not enough to support a family at all..."
He Xishan asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?"
Zhou Mingyuan looked up at her: "Shanshan, we're going through a tough time right now, so I'm sorry to trouble you. The jewelry I gave you before..."
He Xishan immediately covered her bracelet: "You don't want me to sell my jewelry, do you?"
Zhou Mingyuan: "You don't want to?"
He Xishan let go of her hand and lowered her head: "These are all gifts you gave me, I can't bear to part with them."
Zhou Mingyuan: "Don't worry, I'll buy you a new one when I have money in the future."
He Xishan glanced at him. She knew that if she didn't agree, Zhou Mingyuan would be disappointed in her. Thinking of this, she nodded and agreed.
Zhou Mingyuan held her hand: "I knew you would agree. You've always been on my side."
He Xishan smiled, but the smile seemed somewhat forced.
