Chapter 377 I Won't Be Fooled by Cookies
At Huo Chunyan's introduction, Lin Jidong took a temporary job in the clinic's canteen.
His job was simple and not too strenuous, but because he was a temporary worker, his wages were not high at all, and he was not very satisfied with it.
Actually, at his age, it's already quite good that he was able to find this job. After all, if he had to look for this job on his own, no one would have wanted him. He's only doing this because of Huo Chunyan.
But people are never satisfied.
He knew the Huo family was capable; they could have promoted him further and found him a better job, but the Huo family didn't do that.
He was furious when he got back.
Zhang Junying was somewhat puzzled: "The Huo family is quite powerful, and Huo Chenzhou's official position is getting higher and higher. They must be very resourceful, but our relationship with them isn't that good. How could they possibly give us all the best resources?"
"Besides, you're not an important person they care about. Having a job is enough for you. Don't ask for too much."
Lin Jidong said, "My job is a low-level job. I don't think they even bothered to find me a proper job."
Zhang Junying thought for a moment and said, "Then let's try to build a better relationship with them. Maybe they'll be able to help you find a better job in the future. As long as Xiangyang is around, we'll always have a connection with the Huo family."
She said, "After you get off work tomorrow, go visit Xiangyang and bring him some things. Of course, I'm asking you to get along well with Huo Chunyan and Sun Baojun. If you're lucky, you might even run into Huo Chenzhou, which would be even better."
"Um."
Zhang Junying also had to go to work, so she gave Lin Jijun a box of cookies in advance. The cookies weren't bought by her; someone had given them to her before, and she decided to give them to Huo Chunyan instead.
Lin Jijun hummed in agreement.
He didn't actually want to see Huo Chunyan. After his brother died, he always felt that Huo Chunyan's family must have embezzled a lot of the inheritance, which was why they adopted Sun Xiangyang.
However, he didn't pursue the matter further, since none of them were willing to raise Sun Xiangyang.
When Lin Jijun went to Huo Chunyan's house, he saw Sun Xiangyang. He was squatting on the ground, watching ants. Since he moved into Huo Chunyan's house, he had been very clean and was wearing new clothes. He even looked more presentable than when he was at home.
It's clear that Huo Chunyan's family has taken good care of him.
Huo Chunyan clearly has her own child, a daughter, but she is still her biological daughter. Unexpectedly, she actually treats Sun Xiangyang with genuine affection.
Lin Jijun felt uneasy, so he beckoned to Sun Xiangyang and said, "Come here."
Sun Xiangyang glanced at Lin Jijun, but neither spoke nor made a move.
Lin Jijun immediately got angry: "Call me Uncle. I am your uncle. Have you forgotten?"
The child used to call him "Uncle," but ever since he was adopted by Huo Chunyan, he seems to have forgotten his former identity and no longer greets him. It's really speechless.
He looked at Sun Xiangyang and immediately became angry.
Sun Xiangyang didn't want to pay attention to him. He was very young, but he was old enough to remember things, and he wasn't stupid at all.
He still remembered that when his parents died, Lin Jijun rushed into their house and started looking for valuables everywhere. Of course, he didn't find anything like a bankbook.
His family was already very poor and always struggled financially, so they naturally didn't have any savings accounts. So Lin Jijun took their television set and sold all sorts of furniture. He pocketed the money, but he claimed it was to pay for his parents' funeral.
His parents were indeed buried, but it was just a simple burial that didn't cost much money. Later, at the funeral, they received a lot of money, which they all pocketed. Even so, when Lin Jijun mentioned him, he looked disgusted and said he would never support him.
At that moment, he felt no affection for his uncle.
What's the point of having an uncle like that?
However, Lin Jijun is his uncle by blood, and he has the right to decide his life. If he hadn't been adopted, he wouldn't have been able to resist if Lin Jijun had sold him. But now it's finally over, and he doesn't need to pay attention to Lin Jijun anymore.
Lin Jijun frowned at him, then took out the biscuits to show him: "See? These are scallion biscuits. You've probably never had them before, right? Call me Uncle and I'll give you one."
This was obviously a lie to Sun Xiangyang. The cookies were a gift, and he certainly couldn't give them to him. But Sun Xiangyang's attitude of ignoring him made him very angry.
Sun Xiangyang didn't care for cookies; he had already eaten them.
Sun Baojun treated Huo Chunyan very well, often buying her all sorts of snacks, such as canned goods, biscuits, and candies. Huo Chunyan was also generous and would give him all of these things to eat.
Take scallion pancakes for example, he ate them many times.
A few days ago, Shen Zhixia also brought a box of cookies to Huo Chunyan, and Huo Chunyan invited everyone to eat them.
The cookies were delicious.
He won't be fooled by a box of cookies.
Lin Jijun frowned and said, "You really have no manners. Your uncle is talking to you, can't you hear him? Or have you become mute these past few days?"
"You haven't really become mute, have you? I think you're a really unlikable mute. I think Huo Chunyan will kick you out if you keep acting like this."
Chun Ya had just arrived when she heard these words, and she immediately retorted with displeasure, "Xiang Yang is very obedient, he's not mute, what nonsense are you spouting?"
After she arrived, she got to know all the members of the Huo family. She didn't know Lin Jijun, and since Lin Jijun had spoken rudely to Sun Xiangyang, she didn't think he was a good person. Therefore, her attitude towards him wasn't very good either.
Lin Jijun didn't recognize the woman in front of him either. He said coldly, "Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"
Chun Ya said unhappily, "You're such an old man, I just can't stand seeing you bully children."
Sun Xiangyang glanced at Chun Ya, then slowly stood up. He grabbed Chun Ya's sleeve and said, "Sister Chun Ya, I'm fine."
Chun Ya immediately softened: "You're so good."
Sun Xiangyang is so cute and gentle-looking. She loves children and just wishes she could have such an adorable son someday.
Of course, Shen Zhixia's twins are also good-looking, but they are a bit too mischievous.
Sun Xiangyang met Chun Ya yesterday, but he didn't remember her. However, Chun Ya spoke up for him today, and he could tell that Chun Ya was a good person.
