Chapter 716: My Daughter is the Heroine Who Runs Away with the Baby (5)
Jiang Zhuyin finally found a job as a clerk in a small company when she was four months pregnant. The boss agreed to let her join the company because he felt sorry for her as a pregnant woman who had to run around looking for a job all day. Having experienced how difficult it is to find a job, Jiang Zhuyin no longer thinks that the job of a clerk is not decent. On the contrary, she is grateful for it.
Zhou Shichu was relieved when she learned that she had a job. She didn't want to see her sighing and feeling sorry for herself at home all day.
However, Jiang Zhuyin had only been working for less than half a month when Zhou Shichu suddenly received a call from a colleague in her company, saying that Jiang Zhuyin had fainted and was sent to the hospital.
As her only relative, Zhou Shichu had to go to the hospital.
"Why did she faint?" After arriving at the hospital, Zhou Shichu asked a female colleague who was guarding Jiang Zhuyin's bedside.
The female colleague said a little stiffly and nervously: "Hello, Auntie, Zhuyin may have made a mistake at work accidentally, and was scolded by the supervisor a few times. She couldn't stand it and fainted."
Zhou Shichu opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that Zhuyin fainted due to momentary emotional excitement and the excessive fluctuations in hormones in her body after pregnancy. It's not serious. She will be fine after she wakes up. She just needs to keep her mood stable." The female colleague told Zhou Shichu everything the doctor said.
Zhou Shichu nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you for sending her to the hospital and staying with her for quite some time. Now that I'm here, I won't take up any more of your time. I'll let Zhuyin thank you after she's discharged from the hospital."
The female colleague said politely: "We are all colleagues, what's the trouble? Auntie, I will go back to work at the company now."
After the female colleague left, Zhou Shichu took Jiang Zhuyin's pulse and found that she was indeed fine and the baby in her belly was healthy and not affected.
"Mom? Why am I here?" Jiang Zhuyin woke up not long after and found herself in the hospital. She asked Zhou Shichu with a confused look on her face.
Zhou Shichu paused the game on his phone and said to her, "You fainted at the company, and your colleague sent you to the hospital. By the way, when you go back to work, you should thank those colleagues who sent you to the hospital."
"I, I fainted?" Jiang Zhuyin finally remembered the scene before she fainted. She felt a little ashamed and her pale face turned slightly red. "It's all because I'm so useless. I did something wrong. I wonder if my supervisor will still blame me?"
"If you make a mistake, you should admit it and correct it in time." Zhou Shichu advised, "It's normal for new employees to make mistakes. You don't need to take it too seriously. Just remember the lesson and correct it. Cherish your job."
Jiang Zhuyin nodded: "I will, Mom, you are right."
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable? If not, please be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. We can't waste money now." Zhou Shichu reminded her.
Jiang Zhuyin then quickly shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I can be discharged from the hospital immediately. I still have to save money for after the baby is born." After that, she got up and changed her clothes. Zhou Shichu went to handle the discharge procedures for her.
It was Zhou Shichu who paid for her medical expenses. After all, Jiang Zhuyin had just started working and had no salary yet, and her previous savings had long been used up. It could be said that if it weren't for Zhou Shichu, she wouldn't even be able to afford to eat.
Zhou Shichu didn't have the heart to charge her for food because she was pregnant.
But now she has found a job and has a source of income, so Zhou Shichu decided to stay away from this heroine.
So after returning home, Zhou Shichu announced to Jiang Zhuyin his decision to go back to his hometown to recuperate: "Zhuyin, I plan to go back to my hometown in a few days. After all, the cost of living here is too high. I don't have a job now, and I've spent all my savings. If I don't go back, I will definitely be penniless soon. It's better to go back to my hometown. The cost of living is relatively low, and I can grow my own food and vegetables."
When Jiang Zhuyin heard her words, it was as if she had been struck by lightning. She couldn't believe her ears: "Mom, you want to go back home? But we haven't been back for a long time."
Zhou Shichu sighed and said helplessly: "Mom doesn't want to go back either, but there's nothing I can do. Without a job, I can't stay in this city."
Jiang Zhuyin blurted out: "I have a job!"
"Zhu Yin, you are too naive. The income from your job is not even as much as my monthly salary as a nanny. How can you support the two of us? What's more, you have a baby who is about to be born. The child's expenses will be even greater. Our family cannot survive just on your salary." Zhou Shichu said to her very calmly.
Jiang Zhuyin's face was already very ugly. She looked at Zhou Shichu with red eyes: "Is there no other way? Mom, I don't want to go back to my hometown..."
"I just said that I will go back by myself. If you don't want to go back, you can continue to stay here." Zhou Shichu said with a smile, "I didn't ask you to go back with me. If you save your salary, it should be enough to support you and the child."
What Zhou Shichu didn't say was that after the child was born, she probably wouldn't have time to go to work because she had to recuperate from her damaged body and take care of the child.
"But I'm going to live here alone? I, I don't know if I can..." Jiang Zhuyin was a little panicked. She and her mother had never been separated. She had followed her mother to this city since she finished elementary school. But now her mother was leaving, leaving her alone with her unborn child. How could she not be afraid?
"You can do it. Mom thinks you have the courage to give birth to a child alone, which shows that you are already a responsible adult. How can you be afraid of your mom not being around?" Zhou Shichu encouraged her, using the same high-sounding words that she had argued with the original owner in order to avoid a miscarriage to shut her up.
Sure enough, Jiang Zhuyin was speechless. Even though she really wanted her mother to stay and take care of her and the child, she couldn't say it. Could she say that she didn't have the courage? She didn't have the responsibility. She really wanted her mother to stay and help her? She didn't have the nerve to go back on her word.
But she was still anxious, looking at Zhou Shichu with tears in her eyes and pleading: "Mom, do you really have to leave? I can't bear to be separated from you... Why don't you stay and find an easier job?"
Jiang Zhuyin was full of expectations, hoping that Zhou Shichu would stay for her, but Zhou Shichu had a heart of stone, so how could he be willing to stay here for her?
Did she stay like the original owner and sacrifice herself to her, willing to be exploited by her? Jiang Zhuyin obviously had many options. She said she didn't want to let the child's biological father know, and didn't want to cause trouble for him, so she wouldn't ask him to take responsibility. But why did she cause trouble for her mother without any hesitation? She chose to exploit her mother with a clear conscience? Could it be that her biological mother couldn't compare to a man?
