Chapter 235 Terminal Illness
For several days, Zhang Kun rested at home, and even Ji Ziang noticed that something was wrong.
When he returned home that day, he looked at Zhang Kun who was cooking in the kitchen with tears in his eyes.
Li Xu came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes and saw his bitter expression at a glance.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Li Xu asked in surprise.
It shouldn't be like this. With Ji Ziang's personality, how could he allow others to bully him?
Sure enough, Ji Ziang shook his head and choked up, "No one bullies me!"
"No one bullies you, why are you crying?" Li Xu quickly put the dishes on the table and went forward to wipe Ji Ziang's tears.
Ji Ziang looked at Zhang Kun and sniffed: "Is Dad sick?"
Zhang Kun came out of the kitchen and heard Ji Ziang's words. He asked in surprise, "What's wrong? I'm fine, right?"
Ji Ziang broke away from Li Xu and hugged Zhang Kun's thighs: "If you are not sick, why have you stayed at home for so long? Liu Peng said that adults would not rest at home for so long without a reason. You must be sick, or even terminally ill!"
The more Ji Ziang spoke, the sadder he became, and he finally burst into tears: "Dad, I don't want you to die, please don't die!"
Zhang Kun and Li Xu looked at each other, feeling both amused and touched.
"Liu Peng is talking nonsense. Your father is fine and is very healthy." Li Xu explained quickly.
Ji Ziang still had a look of disbelief: "Liu Peng also said that adults would not tell the truth in order not to worry their children, and they would definitely find some excuses. Dad, if you die, I will not live either."
He hugged Zhang Kun's legs and cried loudly.
When Ji Zixuan listened to Ji Zixuan's words, the expression on his face was a little surprised at first, and then his eyes turned red.
Ji Yuanyuan stood nearby, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
Although she knew that Dad was fine, after all, if something really happened, Mom wouldn't be so relaxed. But her two brothers were so sincere and affectionate, if she didn't act, wouldn't it seem too heartless?
Just when Ji Yuanyuan was thinking about it, Zhang Kun said, "Dad is in good health. He is resting at home because he has things to do. When you are not at home, I am outside."
Seeing this, Zhang Kun simply picked up Ji Ziang and tried to wipe his tears with his hands.
Ever since Zhang Kun moved in, Ji Ziang's appetite has skyrocketed. He has grown a lot taller and gained a lot of weight recently.
Zhang Kun felt a little tired while holding it.
So, when he raised his hand, he staggered and almost failed to hold it.
Ji Ziang was stunned for a moment, with an expression of "as expected" on his face.
Liu Peng also said that generally sick people will have some abnormalities, such as their bodies suddenly becoming fragile.
In the past, when his father held him in his arms, it was always very easy.
But now...
I can’t hold you anymore!
"Zi'ang, you've gained weight!"
Ji Ziang was still preparing to cry, but Zhang Kun's words stopped him in his tracks.
"Your mother and I are planning to open another store, and we've been looking for a suitable store recently!" Zhang Kun gave Li Xu a look.
Li Xu quickly responded: "Yes, your dad goes out every day and his legs are almost broken."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ziang looked at Zhang Kun with doubt: "Really?"
Zhang Kun nodded vigorously: "Of course this is true, why would I lie to you?"
Ji Ziang blinked and became happy again: "Are you really not sick?"
Zhang Kun answered seriously: "Of course, I'm in good health and not sick."
Ji Ziang burst into laughter and wiped his tears: "Tomorrow I will tell Liu Peng that my father is not sick!"
Li Xu shook her head and went to the kitchen: "Your deskmate Liu Peng has a very rich imagination."
He had only rested at home for a few days, but in his eyes, he had become a terminally ill patient.
Zhang Kun patted his head and said, "Put down your schoolbag quickly. You can eat later."
He leaned over and put Ji Ziang down.
Ji Ziang raised his sleeves, wiped his face, and ran back to the bedroom happily.
Zhang Kun and Li Xu returned to the kitchen.
This matter was quickly resolved for Ji Ziang, but Zhang Kun had some ideas.
In the evening, he discussed with Li Xu: "How about I ride my bike to look around tomorrow, if there is a suitable store, we can rent it. Now we have seven acres of greenhouses at home, and you can't sell them all in one store."
Li Xu was a little hesitant. "If we open a branch, we will definitely have to recruit people. I don't know if it will be easy to recruit people at this time of year."
After a pause, she whispered, "This person has to be trustworthy. I originally wanted to hire someone to work in this store for a while to see what his temper is like. Otherwise, if the new store opens and there is no one to look after it, then..."
What if I have a bad temper and drive all the customers away? Wouldn’t that ruin the new store?
Thinking of this question, Zhang Kun didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Li Xu wanted to change the subject, Zhang Kun suddenly spoke up: "I do have an idea. How about you listen to it and see if it's suitable?"
Li Xu looked up: "You say!"
"There is a trustworthy person right in front of me, but I don't know if she is willing or not." Zhang Kun said mysteriously.
Listening to Zhang Kun's words, Li Xu hit him with some dissatisfaction: "If you have something to say, just say it. What's the point of saying half and keeping the other half?"
Zhang Kun smiled, reached out and hugged her tightly, then said, "Hu Chunli!"
Hearing this name, Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Chun Li is a college student, can she do this?"
"You're thinking the wrong thing." Zhang Kun shook his head, "I think this opportunity is just right for Hu Chunli."
Seeing that Li Xu still looked confused, Zhang Kun asked, "Didn't you say that Hu Chunli has decided to divorce Yang Junying?"
Li Xu hasn't met Hu Chunli recently, so it's not known whether the couple has divorced or not.
But looking at Hu Chunli's expression at that time, she had already made up her mind to divorce Yang Junying.
"Yes." Li Xu nodded.
"If they really get divorced, what will Hu Chunli do if she loses her source of income? The older the children are, the more things they have to spend money on. She has to find a job and save some money." Zhang Kun analyzed the situation to Li Xu in detail, "If she has an ordinary job, will she be able to go home in time to cook for Jingyi at noon and in the evening? Will she be able to pick up the children in time?"
Li Xu listened and felt that what Zhang Kun said made sense.
If Jingyi was an ordinary child, then it would be fine.
Find a daycare center to eat at noon and go home by yourself at night.
But Jingyi is not an ordinary child, and Hu Chunli is absolutely unwilling to let her be left alone like this.
In this situation, it is difficult to balance work and family.
"But if you hire her, noon is not a peak period and closing time is not a problem, so her hours will be flexible. She can even bring her children to work on weekends."
