Lu Xiangnan nodded.
"Okay, I'll ask around for you then. You can discuss with your sister whether you want to go or not; she might not agree."
"That's why I came to see you secretly. Don't tell her."
Zheng Feifei gave her a complicated look: "Can we hide it from her? She's very meticulous."
"We'll keep it a secret as long as we can, and we'll make as much money as we can."
Zheng Feifei sighed: "Okay. If my live stream goes well, I'll give my sisters some flowers. But right now, I can barely make ends meet."
Not long after, she gave Lu Xiangnan the news.
"They're hiring temporary workers over there. No ID is needed, but they only pay 200 yuan a day for ten hours. Why don't you quit this job and find something else?"
Lu Xiangnan shook his head: "Everything else requires an ID card, but I don't have one."
Zheng Feifei was speechless: "Alright then, I'll tell Jiang Tian that you've been helping me out during this time. Just be more careful."
"Thank you, Sister Feifei."
Lu Xiangnan's features still had a touch of youthful innocence, but his eyes already held a hint of maturity.
After arriving there, Lu Xiangnan realized that Zheng Feifei hadn't lied; the work there was indeed extremely demanding.
He was tall and looked to be in good shape, so people treated him like livestock.
He carried sand, piled cement, and even learned to build walls from others. Despite the cold weather and the sun shining down, sweat streamed down his face.
Lu Xiangnan used to pay a lot of attention to his appearance, but now he just lifts up his shirt, wipes his sweat, and continues working.
He was quick-witted and soon mastered the tasks that a senior engineer could do.
He was initially paid 200 yuan a day, but it was later increased to 300 yuan. After working for more than ten days, he earned 4,000 yuan.
It was all paid daily, and although it wasn't much, Lu Xiangnan was very happy. He planned to go to the market to buy some bones for Jiang Tian to help her recover.
Having just received his money, he walked to the other side of the construction site and saw Jiang Tian standing there with a cold expression.
In an instant, it's no exaggeration to say that Lu Xiangnan wanted to run away.
"Lu Xiangnan, you stop right there!"
Lu Xiangnan stopped in his tracks, looked at Jiang Tian, and forced a smile.
"sister."
Jiang Tian sneered: "If I hadn't suddenly had the idea to hitch a ride with my neighbor to deliver fruit to you, I would never have known that you two were putting on this elaborate deception for me."
Lu Xiangnan paused for a moment, then walked towards Jiang Tian, whose hand was still wrapped in bandages.
He looked a little lost: "Sis, don't be angry."
"I knew it! You got so tanned and thinner in the warehouse. Lu Xiangnan, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
As she spoke, tears welled up in Jiang Tian's eyes.
Lu Xiangnan's heart suddenly ached, feeling both bittersweet and tender.
He opened his mouth and tried to explain, "Sis, I just want to earn some extra money, don't be upset."
"How can I not be upset? My brother has been working on construction sites for my sake." Jiang Tian pulled his hand and walked away. "Let's quit."
In fact, Lu Xiangnan wanted to object, but he didn't dare to say it because Jiang Tian was very angry, and he could tell.
But he couldn't help but say, "Don't hold my hand anymore, my hands are covered in dust."
Working on a construction site, what dignity is there? Every day is filled with dust, and people naturally look dusty and grimy.
Actually, he's been keeping it a secret quite well these past few days. The first thing he does when he gets back is take a shower and make sure he's clean and tidy.
"You're my brother. If I were to look down on you, do you think I would have any conscience?"
