Chapter 374 Introducing You to My Mom
Lin Jidong is not young, and he still has aftereffects from his injury. It is very difficult for someone like him to find a job. If it weren't for Huo Chunyan's introduction, no one would hire him even if he were to do odd jobs.
Unfortunately, Lin Jidong was completely blind to the facts before him and still thought he was young and capable.
Lin Jidong looked at her, very dissatisfied: "I still have a lot to say to them today, why are you stopping me? I think they must have embezzled my second brother's inheritance, so they are pretending to adopt children. As long as I expose them, they will definitely give us a lot of benefits out of fear."
Zhang Junying rolled her eyes: "I think you're dreaming. You think they took my second brother's inheritance, but do you have any evidence? You don't have any evidence, so why should they be afraid? Let me tell you, if you break ties with them, not only will they not admit it, but you won't get any benefits either."
"So you should just shut up and not offend them. That's the best thing to do. I'm thinking of getting along well with them and communicating with them often in the name of the child. That way, we can ask them for help if we need anything in the future. That would be great."
"Don't underestimate this job. Not just anyone can work in the military medical station. Even if you're just a temporary worker, it's still pretty good. And you should know that you were recommended by Chunyan, so out of respect for her, people won't dump all the dirty and hard work on you. Your work will be much easier, and you can still get some pay. Isn't that a good thing?"
Lin Jidong asked suspiciously, "It's not as good as you say. It's just a low-class job."
He even suspected that Huo Chunyan did it on purpose. With such a capable brother, wouldn't it have been easy for Huo Chunyan to arrange a decent job for herself? Instead, she only let her work in the cafeteria.
Zhang Jun said earnestly, "Ji Dong, you should know that Huo Chunyan doesn't owe you anything. The reason she's willing to find you a job is twofold: first, because of that child, she doesn't want things to get too strained with us; and second, because she is indeed a good person, a respectable one."
"If she were a calculating person, she could have easily refused our request, so you shouldn't be too picky about jobs. After all, no one else would be willing to find you a job besides her."
Since Lin Jidong was injured, she has asked other people to help him find a job, but even something as simple as sweeping the floor could not be found for him.
Lin Jidong snorted: "Then I'll reluctantly go."
Zhang Junying is currently in charge of the household because she is the breadwinner. Since Lin Jidong lost his job, he basically stays at home and rarely goes out. Even when he occasionally runs into neighbors, he is often ridiculed.
He knew his situation, but he was just stubborn and refused to admit it.
Zhang Junying nodded: "I'll go to the cafeteria with you the day after tomorrow. It seems that the child is still somewhat useful. I was originally planning to sell him to the old man, but I didn't expect him to have the ability to get someone to adopt him."
She could tell that Huo Chunyan genuinely liked the child, so the child would definitely have a bright future, and as the child's aunt, she would certainly reap some benefits.
When Zhang Junying learned of her second brother and sister-in-law's death, she fell into deep thought upon seeing the boy they left behind. If her second brother and sister-in-law had left an inheritance, someone might have been willing to adopt them. But the problem was that they hadn't left any money, so the child would be a burden.
Everyone was passing the buck, and no one was willing to adopt the child, fearing they would be entangled with him.
Zhang Junying, as a relative of the child, was also pushed forward, and everyone urged her to adopt the child.
Adoption is impossible.
It just so happened that there was an old man in the next village who was a bachelor who had never had a wife or children. After learning about what was going on here, he offered to give one yuan and take the child over so he could raise him himself.
The old man was a poor bachelor who couldn't even support himself. In his old age, he wanted a child to take care of him in his old age, and everyone thought it was a good idea.
Even if they didn't receive a single yuan, they would still be willing to let the old man raise their child.
So everyone decided to give the child to the old man.
Even Zhang Junying thought it was acceptable.
After all, as long as the child doesn't become a burden to oneself, that's fine.
However, when Sun Baojun learned of this, he quickly took the child away. At that time, everyone knew about this matter, but they all turned a blind eye. After all, if they got involved in this matter, what would happen if they were to take care of the child? That was absolutely unacceptable.
So, whatever, it doesn't matter who takes the child away.
On the other side.
Howard actually started spending time with Chun Ya.
He originally thought the two of them would never have any interaction, but they were actually from the same village.
After that incident, Chun Ya would often run into him.
She would sometimes talk to Howard for a few minutes, and sometimes help Howard with some housework.
Initially, Howard refused to let her help, but the puppy liked her very much and would rub against her every time it saw Chun Ya, so Chun Ya would come over and feed the puppy every time.
Over time, the two of them became familiar with each other.
Howard also discovered that Chun Ya was actually a very talkative person. She had a great personality, got along well with everyone, and was also quite intelligent, able to do many things very well.
Her ex-husband didn't cherish her; it was entirely his fault.
Speaking of Chun Ya's ex-husband, the incident of them reporting him for assault was very serious, so her ex-husband stayed in the police station for quite a while, but it wasn't a big deal, so he wasn't sentenced.
The day her ex-husband was released, he came to harass Chun Ya again, but this time he didn't dare to make any rash moves. Chun Ya also quickly hid inside the house. Later, the group of debt collectors found her ex-husband and told him to pay back the money or they would break his hands and feet. Her ex-husband was frightened this time, so he knelt down and agreed to everything.
Then her ex-husband ran away.
Chun Ya said, "He has already run away to another place. He said he went to work there and would pay back the money when he earned it. But he owes so much money that he probably won't be able to pay it back in this lifetime. I don't think he will come back."
After all, if he came back, he would be killed. He wouldn't dare to do that.
For Chun Ya, this was also a good thing; she could finally get rid of this person.
These past few days, Chun Ya has been in a good mood. She seems to have gained some weight, and her face looks rosy. She's also talking more than before. She's found that she really enjoys spending time with Howard, even if it's just being friends with him.
She felt very comfortable with Howard.
It's a wonderful feeling. Maybe there isn't a very strong emotional bond between the two of them, but they get along well in all aspects and can live a long and peaceful life together. They also share many of the same habits and behaviors.
So the two of them ended up spending time together without really knowing why. Chun Ya tentatively asked Huo Hua, "Brother Huo, have you ever thought about what it would be like if we were always together?"
Howard thought about it carefully for a moment and said, "I've thought about it."
Chun Ya's heart immediately began to beat.
Howard wasn't stupid. He initially rejected Chun Ya, but later he acquiesced. After all, he found Chun Ya to be a kind girl, and he naturally thought about how peaceful their life would be after marriage.
In his youth, he pursued passionate love, but now, perhaps because he's older, he finds this kind of simple, ordinary love quite nice too.
Perhaps Mrs. Huo is right; marriage is about finding someone you can live with.
Howard said, "This Chinese New Year, I want to take you to meet my mother."
Spring Sprouts looked up in surprise.
