He quickly found the room number Zhou Yuanyuan had mentioned after walking through the bustling streets.
Knock knock knock!
He knocked on the door.
Who is it?
A woman's voice came from inside.
"I'm looking for Yin Jiajun!"
Wang Qian responded immediately.
"etc!"
As the footsteps approached, the door quickly opened from the inside.
But what appeared before Wang Qian was a woman in her thirties.
The clothes he was wearing were relatively clean, but they had many patches.
The room behind the woman seemed very narrow, with various pieces of furniture piled up layer upon layer, making it seem as if one would have to be careful when moving around in the room.
At first glance, Wang Qian knew that this family must be living in very poor conditions.
"Excuse me, is this Yin Jiajun's house?" Wang Qian asked politely.
"Yes, but he went out to work and hasn't come back yet."
The woman looked Wang Qian up and down, then cautiously asked, "What do you want with him?"
"I……"
Just as Wang Qian was about to explain his purpose, a childish voice came from inside the house, "Mom, is my dad back?"
The voice appears with the person.
From the aisle behind the woman, a little girl of about eight or nine years old walked over barefoot.
She had two little braids and was very cute, but her clothes were patched and her skin was a bit dark, probably from being out in the sun all year round.
The little girl, who had been beaming with anticipation, was startled when she saw Wang Qian. She quickly shrank behind the wall at the corner of the corridor, peeking out only her head to steal a glance at him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person!"
Wang Qian subconsciously offered this explanation.
It would have been better not to explain; the explanation startled the little girl, who then quickly withdrew her head behind the wall.
"The child is shy, please don't mind."
Seeing all this, the woman smiled sheepishly.
"fine!"
Wang Qian waved his hand and immediately got to the point, "By the way, big sister, when will Yin Jiajun be back?"
"It should be soon!"
The woman replied, "He comes back from work around this time every day."
"Get to work?"
It wasn't until the woman repeated it a second time that Wang Qian realized something was wrong.
Isn't Yin Jiajun a bus driver?
Even if you go out to drive, you should still call it going to work or doing your job.
Why do we say "doing work"?
Moreover, in this day and age, being able to drive is a remarkable skill.
Moreover, being a bus driver is a highly sought-after profession.
Correspondingly, the wages are also shockingly high.
However, Yin Jiajun's family was destitute, even more so than ordinary residents of the county town.
"Excuse me, are you here to collect a debt?"
Then, the woman asked this question cautiously.
When she asked this question, the woman's face was filled with unease and fear.
"Don't worry, sister, I'm not here to collect debts."
Realizing the other party had misunderstood, Wang Qian hurriedly explained, "I was looking for Yin Jiajun because I wanted to ask him to drive for me."
"Will you drive?"
The woman was taken aback at first, then frowned. "You're not welcome in our home. You'd better leave now!"
After saying that, the woman immediately closed the door.
"Big sister, listen to me..."
Wang Qian wanted to explain, but fearing that the door panel would hit his nose, he had to quickly take two steps back.
Bang!
The door closed, and the sound of the bolt locking could be heard from inside.
What's going on?
Wang Qian stood outside the door, his mind filled with questions.
I didn't say anything offensive, and I wasn't there to collect a debt, so why did the woman's attitude change so drastically just because I asked Yin Jiajun to drive for me?
Tap, tap, tap...
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from not far away.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw a middle-aged man covered in mud and ash, his face so dark that his original color was unrecognizable, walking wearily toward where Wang Qian was.
He's a person with a tragic fate!
Thinking this to himself, Wang Qian subconsciously stepped aside to make way for the other person.
Judging from their attire, they must be doing some kind of physically demanding work.
He sincerely admired people who could endure hardship.
After all, people are born lazy and averse to work. If they were not forced by life, who would want to do a dirty, tiring job with low pay?
However, when the man approached, he didn't pass in front of Wang Qian. Instead, he showed him a row of neat teeth and said, "Sorry, did I get you dirty?"
"It's nothing!" Wang Qian quickly waved his hand.
"Oh, then I'll let you pass first."
The man pressed himself against the door, gesturing for Wang Qian to go first.
"You are... Yin Jiajun?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Wang Qian asked with a mixture of astonishment and uncertainty.
"You know me?"
The man was stunned.
Wang Qian suddenly realized, "I was just looking for you."
"You were looking for me?"
Yin Jiajun sized Wang Qian up and down, a look of wariness immediately flashing in his eyes. "I have no money right now, and forcing me won't work."
"Don't misunderstand!"
Wang Qian hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm not here to collect debts."
"Then who are you? What do you want with me?"
Yin Jiajun still looked at Wang Qian as if he were a thief.
"I heard from others that you can drive a bus, right?"
Fearing the other party might misunderstand, Wang Qian explained, "I came to see you because I wanted to... help you find a new job!"
Wang Qian originally wanted to ask the other party to help him drive.
