Chapter Twenty-Seven: Asking for Help from Shangguan
After the conversation, Min Yuhua went back to the ward to visit Mo Lianzhi and sat in front of the bed for more than half an hour.
He liked Mo Lianzhi in his early years, and he has always given the mother and daughter the greatest help after the accident. Love slowly becomes a guardian under the passage of years, and it has also become a habit in the life of this man who values love and righteousness.
Of course, the beautiful Mo Lianzhi he liked had changed now. Half of his jet-black hair has fallen out, and the rest has become ears of corn due to metabolic problems. Although he is not old, his skin is wrinkled, especially the two skinny arms, as if one of them will break if he is not careful...... Every time he saw this, he always felt very sad.
What is even more painful is Yang Qianye, when she thinks of the suffering suffered by her mother, the hatred in her heart is difficult to quell. After Min Yuhua left, she also hurried back to Lucheng, reality did not allow her to be sad in front of the sickbed, she had to make money quickly, make a lot of money!
She can no longer take her part-time job as a regular job, and in addition to the insignificant living expenses, she must also bear the high nutrient solution. Even more urgent than revenge, the maintenance of the mother's life is more urgent.
She plucked up her courage and ran into "One Less Knife".
"Excuse me, I'll find Master Shangguan!"
One of Shangguan Yu's apprentices remembered her, nodded slightly and went up to the second floor.
After a while, Shangguan Yu walked down with a fan.
"Master Shangguan, please help me." She used the word "begging", which was a bit heavy and seemed very anxious.
Shangguan Yu leaned to the side and asked her to go up to the second floor to speak.
Go up the stairs and come to the place where Shangguan Yu rests on weekdays. The ceiling is so low that you can reach the ceiling with your hand. Upstairs, there are two rooms, both of which are covered with straw mats of the same size, one of which is painted black and the other red, creating a very conflicting gloomy atmosphere. There is a Buddhist shrine on the right wall, and the incense burner is still smoking, and the traces of collapse on the futon are also obvious.
Shangguan Yu washed the cup at the Kung Fu teatable, added licorice slices to the tea, and Yang Qianye held it with both hands.
But she had no intention of tasting the tea, and made a request straight to the point.
"Master Shangguan, I know it's a bit ridiculous to say all this, but please believe me, I really can't help it, so I come to you with a shy face. I didn't think so at the time when you offered to say you could help me if I wanted to change jobs, but today, at the moment, I urgently need a full-time job to get through it...... No, it's to live. Master Shangguan, if you can help me, I am willing to repay you as a cow and a horse. ”
After speaking, she knelt down with a thud, and Shangguan Yu hurriedly helped her up.
"Get up, girl, don't do that. Tell me what's wrong, I haven't seen you for a few days, and something big has happened? Looking at her haggard and helpless appearance, Shangguan Yu felt pity and opened his mouth to ask.
And she just bit her lip in embarrassment, and her eyelashes kept shaking.
Shangguan Yu understood her thoughts, nodded and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, back to the topic, what kind of job do you want?" ”
"As long as it's a high salary." She didn't shy away from saying.
"If the salary is high, you must be full-time, can you do it in terms of time?"
"No problem, as long as I can make money, I am willing to work overtime and dirty work."
"Okay, I'll help you ask." Shangguan Yu replied lightly and sincerely. He has an inexplicable affection for her, all because Chiba is a little similar to his daughter Shangguan Luoluo, who died early.
Chiba still told the reason.
"My mother is sick, that's why I'm in such a hurry."
"Hey." Master Shangguan sighed, and there was an indelible sympathy between his eyebrows. He understood too well what it was like for someone close to him to suffer from sin to be a painful and helpless experience, and he felt the comfort of empathy at the moment. "Tell me specifically about your requirements for the job, and the conditions."
"I come here to open a company and make a lot of money, I don't know if there are any ordinary clerks who need to be hired. I can do computers, I can type, and I can do any work that is not very professional. If there's anything I want to learn, I'll do my best to learn it and make sure I get started quickly. ”
"Are there specific requirements for wages, and what is the floor limit?"
Chiba plucked up his courage and said, "Eight thousand." "On the way back from Lancheng, I have carefully calculated the monthly expenses, and eight thousand can basically guarantee Mo Lianzhi's nutrient solution.
"It's not very high, it's simple, those bosses have more than that." Shangguan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and gained confidence in her request.
"Really, the front desk can also give this level?" Chiba couldn't believe his ears, "Then please help me inquire, answer the phone and receive the courier for the bottled water, I can do it." ”
"Girl, I think your future is more than that."
"I don't dare to think about the future now, I can only think about making money." Chiba expressed the difficulty in the most straightforward and even vulgar way, "My mother is lying in the hospital, unable to eat liquid food and can only be maintained by nutrient solution. That thing was very expensive and couldn't be stopped, and if it stopped, her life would be gone. ”
"What about your father?"
"I don't have a father." She said word by word.
Shangguan Yu put down the teacup and looked at her deeply.
"I admire you, and I admire you for carrying such a heavy burden on your shoulders at such a young age. In this society now, there are not many filial and sensible children like you. I didn't look away, the last time I saved the child, I knew that you were a kind person, with righteousness, courage, and the strength to not admit defeat. ”
"You praise it falsely, I don't have any ability at all, and it is really desperate to make such a request to you without shame."
"I don't have the ability either, I can only shave people's heads, don't I survive and have a small achievement. There's a saying out there that if I shave my head, I'll be transferred, and you believe me, it's not superstition. Maybe you feel like you're at a low point right now, but the worst has already happened, and the next one will get better and better. ”
"I lend you good words."
"Don't worry, this matter is on me, I will definitely find a decent and profitable job for you, and I believe you can do it well."
"Thank you, thank you......" Tears finally fell from Chiba's eyes.
She never had any hopes for money, but now things have changed. The focus of life shifts to the search for wealth, and other problems that you want to solve can be solved. This kind of target switching and position switching are compatible, and the so-called what kind of space you live in has to do what kind of thing, which is really an irrefutable truth. The city of Lucheng is developed and excited, vain and flashy, and the people who live here must establish an ambiguous relationship with money, and she is no exception.
……
I didn't see Yang Qianye last night, and I didn't see the lights of 1101 during the night patrol, and Da Mao looked absent-minded all day. He was worried that something would happen to her, not in terms of personal safety, of course, but whether it would have something to do with the landlord's son.
As soon as he thought of Song Yingchen's outstanding appearance and elegant temperament, his heart was full of jealousy. Of course, he can't compare to Song Yingchen in any way, but people are like this, they never know the height of the sky in the wrestling of love.
He sounded the alarm bell to himself in his heart more than once: "What do you compare yourself to others, don't think about it in the next life." At the same time, another voice whispered: "Is that how you admit it, bastard?" ”
The person who was concerned finally appeared, and Yang Qianye walked towards the gate of the cherry blossom apartment with his bag on his back. She was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and she looked calm on the surface, and Da Mao felt a little relieved. Without waiting for her to get closer, an arrow rushed out of the sentry box.
"Where did you go?" He didn't expect that he would omit the polite salutation between the property and the owner, and ask questions bluntly.
"Huh?" Chiba was lost in thought all the way, and when he saw him standing in front of him, he didn't come back to his senses for a moment.
"You didn't go back to your apartment last night."
Da Mao kept telling himself to smile in his heart, but the muscles on his face became more and more tense disobediently. He wasn't angry, but he wasn't sure whether he was concerned or questioning, curious or complaining.
"How do you know I didn't reply?" Chiba hadn't yet sensed his thoughts.
"I was at the sentry box yesterday and I didn't see you pass through the gate. I usually turn on the lights in the house quite brightly, but I didn't have one last night. ”
"Oh, I'm out."
"Where did you go?"
"Didn't go anywhere......"
She walked around Da Mao, but Da Mao caught up and grabbed her.
"What do you mean by not going, I'm asking you."
"Where do I need to report to you?"
Chiba was also annoyed, her mood was already low, and when she saw Da Mao's reckless interrogation, she lost her patience and walked straight forward without looking back.
Realizing the rudeness, Da Mao chased after him again.
"I'm sorry, don't get me wrong, I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Chiba didn't bother and quickened his pace.
"We will develop a habit after working in this industry for a long time, when the owner will go out and when he will come back, what clothes he will wear when he leaves, and whether he will bring anything when he comes back......"
"Then I wasn't the only one in the community last night?"
"No, no, no, yes." Da Mao quickly recalled, "Mr. Qiu from Unit 2 of Building 3, Uncle Fang from Unit 4, Miss Zhao from Unit 1 of Building 1, Building 4, Building 4 ......"
He scratched the back of his head vigorously, as if the more he remembered, the more he could dispel Chiba's misunderstanding. The honest and embarrassed appearance is really unbearable to blame, Chiba couldn't cry or laugh, and said angrily: "Isn't the community monitored, why are you remembering this, are you tired?" ”
"It's my job, and the more I remember and observe, the less likely it is to have an accident."
"And how many days do you format your brain?"
Seeing her joking with herself, Da Mao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he was no longer in a hurry to catch up between his words.
"Hehe, I can't actually remember it for everyone." His subtext is that I only remember the people I care about.
"I went back to my hometown to take care of something."
Returning to the original question, Chiba thought it would be best to answer it this way.
However, what he didn't expect was that Da Mao actually took out the posture of breaking the casserole and asked again: "What's the matter, is it important?" ”
Chiba looked at him, his eyes not hostile, but they made him realize his recklessness again.
"I mean, if it matters, you can tell me and see if I can help. People are unlucky to get up and drink water and stuff their teeth, don't always think about carrying it yourself. ”
Once again, Chiba showed resistance.
"I'm unlucky to look at, isn't it?"
Da Mao hurriedly put a hand over his mouth, meaning "I'm sorry, I'm not talking." ”
Chiba didn't say anything more and went upstairs directly.
Looking at her angry back, Da Mao couldn't help but smack himself.
