Meng Lan walked into the ward quickly, and saw Shen Ke lying unconscious on the bed, and Shen Ke's mother was crying and crawling down from her bed.

Meng Lan hurriedly ran in, put the breakfast she bought on the way on the table, and bent down to help her.

The old lady saw that it was Meng Lan, and pushed her and said, "Leave me alone, go and call the doctor over, hurry up and ......."

"Tell someone to ring the bell, why do you have to come down by yourself?" Meng Lan helped to press the bell and carefully helped her to sit on the edge of the bed.

The medical staff rushed to treat Shen Ke and asked the old lady under what circumstances Shen Ke fainted.

The old lady beat her chest and cried, "It's all my fault, I said that I missed my mouth, he couldn't accept it all of a sudden, so he fainted, blame me, blame me......"

"It's okay, it's okay, he's just frightened, and he's not in danger." The doctor reassured.

The old lady still cried.

Meng Lan was in no mood to persuade her, so he stood aside silently.

After a while, Shen Ke woke up, looked at the medical staff gathered in front of the bed, and opened his mouth to ask, "Am I going to die?" ”

"No, it won't." The doctor comforted him, "You are not seriously ill, you are not yet to talk about life and death, don't scare yourself." ”

Shen Ke was suspicious, his eyes swept around, and he saw Meng Lan standing not far away, and called her weakly, "Ah Lan, I thought you really didn't care about me anymore." ”

"......" Meng Lan couldn't say anything in front of the medical staff, and reluctantly smiled at him, "Don't think about it, the doctor said that your illness is caused by overthinking and too much pressure, you have to correct your mentality, relax your mood, and everything will be fine." ”

Seeing that Shen Ke was fine, the doctor explained some precautions and left.

When everyone was finished, the old lady trembled over and grabbed Shen Ke's hand, and the old tears were rampant, "Son, it's not good for your mother, your mother scared you, and your mother was almost scared to death just now, you said that if you have three long and two short, how can you live if you call your mother!" ”

Shen Ke hugged his mother's hand and his eyes were red, "Mom, it's my son's unfilial piety, which makes you worried, don't cry, listen to me, in case my illness doesn't get better, you follow Ah Lan and Xiao Yu, they will take care of you." ”

"......" Meng Lan was speechless, Shen Ke didn't treat himself as an outsider too much, and arranged the old lady without asking her opinion, why was he so confident that he would definitely support the elderly for him?

The old lady was not as confident as Shen Ke, she looked at Meng Lan with teary eyes, thinking that she had sworn in front of the doctor last night that Meng Lan was not her daughter-in-law, and turned her face back in embarrassment.

Meng Lan didn't bother to bother with her, opened the breakfast and handed it to her and Shen Ke, and said, "Hurry up and eat, it's not delicious if it's cold." ”

The mother and son took the breakfast, and each had mixed feelings in their hearts.

Meng Lan waited quietly for them to finish eating, packed up the lunch box, and offered to help them hire a nurse again.

The old lady was particularly surprised, "Isn't there you, why do you need a nurse?" ”

The natural appearance made Meng Lan can't help but want to brush his sleeves away.

"I have to take care of Shen Yu, I can't stay here all day long." Meng Lan said unhappily, "If you think you can take care of each other, it's okay not to ask a nurse, but I suggest that it is more convenient to ask for one." ”

"What are you talking about, no matter how much you take care of the children, you can't ignore your own man, right?" The old lady felt guilty about her previous attitude towards Meng Lan just now, and when she heard that Meng Lan was unwilling to serve Shen Ke, her face suddenly changed again.

Meng Lan couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a straight face, "If I'm not mistaken, it was your old man who told the doctor last night that I wasn't your daughter-in-law, to tell you the truth, if it weren't for the sake of you being Xiaoyu's relatives, I wouldn't have come at all, I don't like to care about trivial matters, but it doesn't mean that I'm a soft persimmon at your disposal, I'm all I say, don't ask you to do it yourself, don't count on me, I don't have time!" ”

She finished speaking in one breath, without giving the old lady time to get angry, got up and strode away.

Shen Ke shouted at her one after another from behind, until he couldn't hear the footsteps, and then fell on the bed in frustration and complained to his mother, "You are really my own mother, and you will not be able to help you when you go back." ”

The old lady was also full of grievances, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to persuade her to let her take care of you......"

"Are you persuasing?" Shen Ke was not angry, "I'm begging you, don't do it again next time, okay?" ”

Meng Lan left the hospital, seeing that the time was still sufficient, he was not busy taking the car, and walked slowly along the sidewalk for a while.

The weather was gloomy and the smog was serious, she seemed to be walking in a fog, her breathing was not smooth, the direction was difficult to identify, and the pedestrians around her were in a hurry, with expressionless faces and dull eyes, like a group of zombies who were in a hurry to go to different places to bite people.

It was a frustrating day.

Passing by a talent market, it seems that there is an on-site job fair, the people are black, and the heads of black crows are all over the place, and each recruitment position is crowded with people, like a group of zombies besieging the only fresh humans.

Meng Lan paused for a moment, thinking that although he had moved out to live, he was still spending Shen Ke's money, Shen Ke's current situation, he didn't know how much money he had to throw into it, and he was dismissed and lost his financial resources, so even if he didn't go through the formalities, he couldn't spend his money anymore, and he had to find a way to earn his own money.

Thinking like this, Meng Lan followed the crowd into the venue, intending to find out if there was a suitable job for him.

I didn't feel anything from a distance, but when I looked closer, I found that there were all young girls and guys coming and going, holding various resumes, shuttling through various recruitment positions, and communicating with recruiters in young fashion mixed with English.

Meng Lan heard from their conversation that some of them had just graduated from university, some had several years of work experience, what was the background of the company they worked for, and what position they held in the company.

These people, who are already very good in Meng Lan's opinion, did not get hired on the spot in the end, some were directly rejected, and some were given notice, and many people submitted countless resumes and couldn't get a job.

Looking at the young faces who walked in with hope and walked out dejectedly, Meng Lan felt inferiority that he had never felt before.

She has graduated for eighteen years, and she has never stepped into the workplace for eighteen years, and the only time she wants to go to work is when Shen Yu was in kindergarten, when Shen Ke's mother was still very tough and could help pick up and drop off the children, she discussed with Shen Ke that she wanted to find a job.

Shen Ke was not at ease, and accompanied her to the interview, but the interviewer only said a few more words to her, and Shen Ke decided that she was an old pervert and was not allowed to go to her.

After trying several in a row, Shen Ke was always not at ease with this, and when he got home, he found that Shen Yu had broken his forehead while playing in the community, and from that day on, Shen Ke no longer allowed her to mention finding a job.

Eighteen years have passed, and the things I learned in school have long been forgotten, plus I revolve around my children's husband all day long, and the whole person is out of touch with society.

She is like this, let alone asking, even if she walks in the venue, she feels embarrassed, and then looks at the age limit on each recruitment poster, which is even more desperate, let alone forty years old, it is difficult to find anyone over thirty years old.

Meng Lan felt like an old woman who had traveled from ancient times, crowded in a group of well-dressed young people, ridiculous and pathetic.

She couldn't go any further, so she fled the venue in a hurry, and a young man who failed to apply for a job on the way probably took her as a cleaning staff and stuffed her with unfinished resumes and collected recruitment leaflets.

Meng Lan was stunned, holding a handful of paper and trying to find a trash can to throw it away, but she didn't expect more people to start stuffing the paper into her hands, and when she walked out of the door, she couldn't hold it in her arms, and she was an aunt who picked up waste.

What's even more infuriating is that a little girl even gave her two empty drink bottles out of kindness.

Meng Lan was devastated, found the trash can and threw away his things, and took the car back to his residence in despair.

When she moved out of the house, although she had already considered that her life in the future would not be as easy as before, and it would not be so easy to earn money to support her children on her own, she did not expect that the reality was even more cruel than she thought.

She remembered what her mother had advised her before, saying that at her age, it was unclear whether she would be able to find a job.

At that time, she confidently assured her mother that she would still be able to live well without Shen Ke.

Now it seems that her big words are still too early.

I was depressed for a while, looked at the time, and when it was time to cook again, she had to put aside the job search for a while and go to the kitchen to get busy.

When she picked up the kitchen knife, she thought to herself that she was really the kind of woman who couldn't do anything but cook.

But she is unwilling, she doesn't believe that she really can't find a suitable job, people in the world, there are young and old, and there are countless people like her, don't everyone have a job?

It's still a majority with jobs, right?

She tried to reassure herself that maybe the job fair was too high-end, and she could go to a slightly lower place.

So, after delivering food to Shen Yu, she went to the ordinary labor market again.

There are age-appropriate jobs in the labor market, but she is not interested in either domestic service or supermarket tally clerk, or where the staff canteen recruits a cook.

She is not interested, and people don't look down on her, saying that she looks like a pampered Mrs. Kuo, with fine skin and tender meat, she doesn't look like a person who can work at all, even if she is hired, she can't run for two days.

Coming out of the labor market, Meng Lan's enthusiasm was completely cold, and the world was so big that there was no job she could do.

It is said that there is no endless road, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, but she can't even find a place to launch the boat, how can she not despair.

What's even more desperate is that she is already depressed to the extreme, Shen Ke is still not worrying, early the next morning, Shen Ke's mother called, crying heartbreakingly, Shen Ke committed suicide by cutting his wrists.
