Jian Ye gave an awkward laugh. He really did know where Zuo Hui was, and he also knew that Zuo Hui had recently rekindled his relationship with a former lover.
Chen Zhizhi was willing to get pregnant out of wedlock, and Zuo Hui had previously told Chen Zhizhi that if she wanted to continue being with him, she had to tolerate his philandering. It is said that the two of them agreed on this point and that's why they didn't break up.
But Jian Ye felt that she couldn't bring herself to tell Li Ke about their chaotic private lives.
“Then I’ll go talk to Zuo Hui and ask him to spend more time caring for his wife and children,” Jian Ye replied with a somewhat dry smile.
“Okay, tell me his address. If it’s not helpful, I’ll go check on him when I have time,” Li Ke said, staring at Jian Ye.
Jian Ye already knew from the other team members that Li Ke was very skilled, and he was a little reluctant to give it to him, since Zuo Hui wasn't very tough.
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to go back and rest, the power's going to go out soon," Li Ke urged.
Having no other choice, Jian Ye got up, found a pen and paper, wrote down Zuo Hui's address, and handed it to Li Ke. Still worried, she instructed, "If you're really angry and want to go find him, you must take me with you. With me there to keep things under control, you can vent your anger."
Zuo Hui may not be skilled in combat, but the Zuo family is not to be trifled with. Jian Ye felt that Li Ke was somewhat outmatched against the Zuo family.
"I'm not just doing this for fun. If your message works, I won't interfere. It doesn't really concern me anyway." Li Ke got the address and immediately became indifferent.
Jian Ye watched Li Ke return to her house next door, then stood at her own door and sighed deeply. She had intended to make things convenient for herself, but it had ended up making things convenient for someone else.
Li Ke returned to his room, secured the door, and entered the space. He had made considerable progress today, confirming Qin Mingyue's existence, the layout of the Seventh District, the location of Chen Ziyue's house, and information about Zuo Hui. Now he had a clear idea of what to do next.
Li Ke decided to first eliminate the Zhuang family and Tian Zhong. If the Qin family had any problems, he would eliminate them as well. Then he would deal with Chen Ziyue and the Zuo family. It was already the end of the world, and everyone should learn to endure hardship.
When Wang Zhuo returned to his new home after dinner, he was in a good mood. Li Meng was coaxing the child to take his medicine. Thanks to the work points given by Li Ke, they had also been able to exchange them for some purified water, and the child's condition had stabilized a bit in the past two days.
But it's only slightly better. The child's spirits have always been poor. The child is just over a year old, can't speak, can't stand up, and sometimes doesn't even have the strength to crawl on the bed.
Looking at her tiny son, Li Meng couldn't help but feel sad and heartbroken. She always felt that the child might not grow up. But as a mother, watching her child grow up little by little, becoming round and cute, and then thinking about the possibility of losing him, she would feel a pain in her heart.
When Xiangxiang saw his father come back, the bitterness on his face from taking medicine subsided a lot, and he even showed some smiles. Wang Zhuo looked at his son's cute appearance and sat down in front of him to play with him for a while.
Before long, the child fell asleep again. Li Meng put the child on the bed and carefully covered him with the blanket.
Wang Zhuo watched as Li Meng settled the child before pulling her aside. Li Meng, seeing that he had something to say, followed him.
"I saw a job posting today for a maid. It pays 120 work points a month. The requirements aren't many: four hours a day, cleanliness, and quickness are all you need. The only downside is that the job is in the Seventh District, which is a bit far, but it includes room and board and two days off a week. I signed you up, and the recruiter asked about your details and said you're qualified. You can start tomorrow." Wang Zhuo told her about finding his wife a good job.
Li Meng was a little skeptical of his words: "The conditions are so good? I've never worked as a maid before, and my health isn't very good. They approved me without even meeting me? I've never seen a recruitment like this before. Besides, my mom and I are currently working as kitchen helpers in the cafeteria. I work three hours in the morning, and she works two hours in the afternoon. We can take turns taking care of each other. Thinking about it, we can manage for now."
Wang Zhuo only boasts about his abilities to her, but when things actually happen outside, he becomes completely silent, only pushing his wife to the front.
After getting to know him, Li Meng realized he was unreliable and a Monday morning quarterback. Every time he pushed a problem onto her to solve, after she finished and went home, he would start pointing out her shortcomings and areas for improvement. Eventually, Li Meng became increasingly reluctant to talk to him.
Li Meng simply couldn't believe that someone like that would suddenly come back and tell her that he had found her a high-paying job that was perfect in every way, and that he had even passed the interview without her even having one.
Her biggest concern right now is her son. The weather is cold now, so she has to be extra careful. Even if she were to go out to work, she wants to wait until this cold winter is over.
Not wanting to argue with this person, Li Meng didn't explain in too much detail, nor did she say she didn't believe him. Because no matter what, if this person had made up his mind, it would be completely different in his ears.
Wang Zhuo sensed the reluctance in Li Meng's words and his face turned cold: "What do you mean? Don't you trust me or do you want to work me to death? How can you be so selfish? You have such a good job now, and you still want to be picky. What do you want to do? Can't you contribute more to our family? Think about our current situation. It's a problem whether we can even support our son. We should be earning more work points now. If things don't work out, we can always find a way to have another one."
Hearing Wang Zhuo's words, Li Meng felt a surge of anger and slapped him across the face: "Don't curse my son! Think about it, if things really don't work out, then get out of here and we'll break up right away! You're tired? You only work half a day, four hours a day, and spend the rest of the time out and about, not lifting a finger around the house. How are you tired?"
