Chapter 455: One month has come, who will leave and who will stay

Chapter 455: One month has come, who will leave and who will stay
Time flies, and it's another weekend.

After working for a week, Bai Xiuwen was able to collect waste from his own area independently.

The more I do, the more comfortable I become, and the more shocked I am by the work of the scrap collection station.

In just one week, Bai Xiuwen thought that he could only earn two or three dollars in extra money at most, but he didn't expect to earn twice as much.

At least 5 yuan, which Bai Xiuwen did not expect.

"Oh my goodness, I didn't expect to make so much money in just one week?"

Bai Xiuwen looked at the pile of loose change he had earned lying on the bed.

"It should be because business has been good recently. Yes, that's it. It won't be like this after a while."

Bai Xiuwen immediately extinguished his anxious heart and shifted his mind to think about other things.

"Come to think of it, I almost forgot. It has been a month since I came to this yard. It's time." Bai Xiuwen suddenly muttered to himself.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

"Bai Xiuwen, Xu Sinan, Song Qiunan, Zhao Sinan, all of you come out for a moment."

Suddenly, Director Wang's voice came from outside.

Bai Xiuwen immediately packed up and pulled Bai Chi out.

Director Wang was seen with people from the street office and police, and behind him was a group of onlookers, all gathered in the back room.

Soon, all six people in the backyard arrived. Originally there were seven people, but Ma Xu was eliminated early because of stealing and went to jail, so only six of them were left.

"Now that everyone is here, I won't waste any more words. Today marks your one-month anniversary in this yard."

"Why are you here today? I think you all know what I said at the beginning. Only those who find a job can stay. Those who don't find a job will leave."

"Do you remember this?"

Several older ones nodded repeatedly. How could they forget about this? Bai Xiuwen had flexible working hours and deliberately did not go to work on this day.

"Okay, let's get this straight." Director Wang prepared the file, "Song Qiunan, Song Yujie, Zhao Ruonan, I'm sorry, you guys have to leave."

After Director Wang finished speaking, the back room suddenly became quiet for a moment.

Yan Bugui asked: "Director Wang, did you say something wrong? Why are there only three people? There are three more people?"

Director Wang explained: "Since the three of them have jobs, they naturally don't have to leave."

These words shocked the whole audience again, and everyone looked at Bai Xiuwen and Xu Sinan in disbelief.

"They have jobs? Both of them? How is that possible?"

"Yeah! How did they find jobs? My Jie Cheng couldn't find one either, so how did they find one?"

"Yes, considering their status as refugees, without any roots or whereabouts, how could they be found? Director Wang, did you see it wrong?"

Director Wang shouted to suppress the whole crowd: "What are you arguing about? They are both already working in the company and everything is on record. How can it be fake?"

After hearing Director Wang's confident words, everyone had to accept this unacceptable fact.

"No, how did you two find the job? When did you know about it? Why haven't you made any move?"

Song Qiunan looked at Bai Xiuwen and Xu Sinan with shock on her face, and even Zhao Ruonan was the same.

Neither of them has found a job yet, but these two found one quietly.

"Sinan, when did you find a job? Why didn't you tell me about this good news? Are we still sisters?" Zhao Ruonan asked close to her face.

"I..." Zhao Sinan hesitated, not knowing how to explain.

Director Wang at the side looked at her with even more curiosity. She knew that Bai Xiuwen got his job with the help of Li Kailang.

But she had no idea where Xu Sinan was working and could only get it by pretending to be one. Only a few days ago, someone from the textile factory sent her a certificate of employment.

She knew nothing of the details.

"Stop hemming and hawing. Tell me how you got this job. Didn't we agree on this at the beginning? We'll share the good and the bad. Now that you have a job, why don't you think of me?"

Zhao Ruonan pressed the issue closely, feeling very unwilling to accept the fact that apart from the difference in appearance, she was no worse than Xu Sinan.

"It was just a coincidence. Remember I came back soaking wet a few days ago?"

"I know, I thought you were going to play in the water." Zhao Ruonan nodded.

"Who are you trying to fool by going into the water?" When Director Wang heard that they were going into the water, he glanced at Zhao Ruonan who was taking it for granted.

It's only early spring, how cold is it? Who has time to go in the water? Are you sick?
"and then."

"Then I saved a person, and that person's parents helped me find a job," Xu Sinan told what he knew.

Simply put, Xu Sinan got her job by saving people, and the person she saved happened to be the child of the director of a textile factory.

Xu Sinan got an order at the textile factory, but she couldn't stay there just by relying on the orders, so she went looking for a job while there were no orders.

When passing by Shichahai, a child was playing on the lake and accidentally fell into the water. Xu Sinan, who was passing by, immediately jumped into the water and rescued the child.

After that, she was very grateful to Xu Sinan, but she was cold and didn't say much. She just went home immediately after saving the man.

The child's parents called their friends to look for her, and finally they found Xu Sinan and learned about her situation.

The child's mother pleaded, "I think this little girl is clever and kind, and she jumped into the lake to save someone in such a cold weather. I think we should help her and find her a job."

The factory manager originally wanted to give some money to repay the child's life-saving grace. Since the child's mother had spoken and Xu Sinan's craftsmanship was good, he decided to help.

The factory director spent several hundred dollars and made a promise to get a veteran worker who was about to retire to retire immediately, leaving the job vacancy for Xu Sinan to take over.

Later, Xu Sinan was found, and after some rejections, Xu Sinan finally got a job.

After listening to Xu Sinan's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I was wondering why this girl came back so wet. It turns out she came to save someone."

"Why didn't I think of this? I saved a life and got a job in return. Isn't this better than buying a job?" Yan Bugui was very annoyed and wondered why he didn't think of this method.

"Dad, I can't swim. It's so cold, I'm not afraid of freezing to death!" Yan Jiecheng said hurriedly. As soon as Yan Bugui opened his mouth, he knew what was going on.

For the sake of work, he jumped into the river in the cold weather, risking his life.

Hearing this, Yan Bugui was almost mad to death: "You, you don't understand at all."

Xu Sinan's working hours are about the same as Bai Xiuwen's. The two meet every morning, but neither has seen the other wearing work clothes. Each of them is more secretive than the other.

Zhao Sinan pressed on: "What about me? What about me? Have you mentioned me to the factory manager? I'm not bad either."

Xu Sinan shook his head: "No, I wouldn't dare to mention that."

Hearing this, Zhao Sinan went crazy and grabbed Xu Sinan by the collar and asked, "Why don't you mention me? I'm no worse than you. Why?"

Director Wang quickly called the police: "Quick, catch her!"

The police immediately stepped forward and separated the two people.

But at this moment, Zhao Sinan was already mad, struggling and questioning: "Why don't you mention me? Don't you say we are good sisters? Didn't we agree to share happiness and hardship together?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said, "Sharing happiness and hardships? Come on, with your condition, it's not certain whether you can share happiness, but it's hard to say whether you can share hardships."

"What did you say?" Zhao Sinan looked at Xu Damao with bloodshot eyes.

Xu Damao said sternly: "What? What's wrong with what I said? The girl got soaked in the cold weather, and you think it's nothing. Is she sick or are you sick?"

"Why would anyone jump into the river in such a cold weather? You think it's nothing and don't even care about others. What if they get sick?"

Everyone nodded, "You are like this. The girl can't even take care of herself, and she still wants to help you. What can you help me with? You are such an ungrateful bastard."

"That's right. You can't find a job and you blame others. You don't think about why and look for the reasons from yourself."

"Wrong? What did I do wrong?" Zhao Sinan pointed at his face hysterically: "If it weren't for this mole on my face, I wouldn't be able to find a job!"

"Why am I inferior to them? It's because of this mole. It's because of this mole!"

As he spoke, Zhao Sinan grabbed the mole on his face with force.

"Catch her and don't let her hurt herself." Director Wang said, they would send her away soon, and if she got injured she would have to be taken for treatment.

Several policemen held Zhao Sinan tightly, preventing him from moving.

Looking at her, Director Wang frowned slightly, thought it was unlucky, and waved his hand.

"Just take it away. It looks terrible. I'll have someone pack your things for you later so you don't have to come all the way here."

After saying that, the police took Zhao Sinan away.

"Director Wang, what's that guy's job? How did he get it?" Sha Zhu pointed at Bai Xiuwen and asked.

"As for him, he works at a scrap collection station. As for how he got the job?" Director Wang looked at Li Kailang.

Li Kailang stepped forward to explain: "I got it for him."

"Li Kailang, how did you get this job?" Sha Zhu couldn't help but ask

"This is all thanks to Uncle San. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to get this job."

"Uncle, how did you get it?"

This job was originally obtained by Yan Bugui, but Yan Jiecheng didn't want it, so he sold it to Li Kailang, who then bought it.

Yan Bugui waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't mention it, don't mention it. The past is too painful to recall. Besides, it's just a job at a scrap recycling station. What's there to say?"

When everyone heard that it was a job at a scrap station, they immediately lost interest: "A job at a scrap station, that's true." "Tsk, it's just a job at a scrap station, there's nothing to be proud of." Yan Jiecheng knew that it was a job he didn't want, and did not hide his contempt at all.

Bai Xiuwen smiled and said nothing. He earned 5 yuan after working for just one week. This good thing must be kept secret and not told about.

When his life gets better, Yan Jiecheng will regret it one day.

At that time, he will definitely cry and ask why he looked down on this job in the first place, just like Cui Yuan who looked down on the job of a loader.

"It's a scrapyard. You better stay away from it. You don't want to get yourself into a weird smell."

"I just knew it. Why does this guy smell weird every time he comes back these days? It turns out he works at a scrap yard. He smells really bad."

A few people waved their hands unhappily, as if they could fan away Bai Xiuwen's scent.

"Okay, you're the only one left. You can pack up and follow me, or we can take you away." Director Wang looked at Song Qiunan.

"I, I." Song Qiunan's eyes flickered, "I won't leave. Wait a little longer. Wait a little longer."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Song Qiunan hurriedly said, "Wait until someone comes. I told him that I will leave today. As long as he comes, I won't have to leave. Just wait a little longer."

Hearing this, Director Wang frowned slightly, wondering what Song Qiunan was up to.

"Who are we waiting for? How long are we going to have to wait? We have so much time to wait."

Song Qiunan pleaded, "It will be fine in a moment, it will be fine in a moment, Director Wang, please wait a little longer."

"Let me tell you first, who are you waiting for?"

"Wait." Song Qiunan looked at everyone and seemed to be hesitant to speak, too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Let's talk inside."

Song Qiunan and Director Wang entered the room. "Tell me, who are you waiting for? I don't know what you have been doing for the past half month."

Seeing Director Wang's serious expression, Song Qiunan confessed the truth: "Wait for my lover to come. He told me that he will definitely come today."

"As long as he comes, I don't have to leave. He asked me to wait a little longer."

"Lover? Which lover?" Director Wang was amazed. He didn't expect that Song Qiunan would find time to be someone's mistress. But looking at her beautiful appearance, it's no wonder.

Not everyone is like Bai Xiuwen and Xu Sinan, who got their jobs by chance. With Song Qiunan's looks, what could be faster than finding a lover?

"He's a wealthy businessman in Wangfujing." Song Qiunan named the thug he knew.

After hearing this, Director Wang gave a death order: "Okay, don't worry about it, he won't come."

"Ah? Why? He told me that he would come today."

"Humph, you didn't even know you were cheated. Are you dead?"

Song Qiunan's face turned red instantly and she nodded slightly.

"No wonder you waited. You were cheated of your body. Don't you know what kind of person your lover is? Didn't you ask around?"

Song Qiunan nodded gently and said aggrievedly: "I know, but I want to stay in Sijiu City. Apart from him, I have no chance."

"Ah, why are you so stupid? He is a wealthy businessman with plenty of money. He just wants to play with you. Can't you guess it?"

"He has plenty of money, why would he want to hang himself on your tree? Don't you know how old his children are? Do you think he can be of any use just by relying on his body?"

Song Qiunan felt even more aggrieved: "I know, but I can't do anything. I have nothing but my body."

Seeing this, Director Wang was too lazy to talk nonsense.

"I think you don't need to wait. If he wanted you to stay in Sijiu City, he would have arranged it for you the day after you handed over your body."

"He hasn't made any arrangements for you yet. He just wants to have some fun. Come on, pack your things and get ready to go."

"No!" Song Qiunan hurriedly grabbed Director Wang's hand and said unwillingly, "Director Wang, please wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

"Wait? How long do you want to wait? It's already past 9 o'clock. If you wanted to come, you would have come a long time ago. If you wanted to arrange it, you would have arranged it a long time ago. You know it's impossible."

Director Wang gently pushed his hand away. "There are many girls with the same idea as you in Beijing, but few of them can succeed. They are just for fun."

After saying that, Director Wang left without paying any attention to Song Qiunan.

No matter how unwilling Song Qiunan was, he already knew it clearly in his heart.

"Excuse me, does Miss Song Qiunan live here?" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

Song Qiunan came out with a loud bang.

"Butler, you are here to take me away?" Song Qiunan was overjoyed and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"It seems that the master has not forgotten me and sent the butler to pick me up."

The housekeeper smiled slightly, did not answer, and took out a few food coupons from his pocket, "Miss Song, these are the five jin national food coupons that the master prepared for you, please keep them."

When everyone heard that it was 'National Food Coupons', they couldn't help but exclaimed: "National Food Coupons, wow, are you so generous?"

You should know that it takes several times more food coupons to exchange local food coupons for national food coupons.

In the old city, 2 jin of local food coupons can be exchanged for 1 jin of national food coupons, but it is not so cheap in other places.

The more remote the area, the higher the exchange rate. A ratio of one to ten is more than enough. The most important thing is that fine grains must be used to exchange for national food coupons.

In addition to being able to exchange for fine grains, you can also receive one or two ounces of cooking oil. Having both grain and oil is no small matter.

Song Qiunan didn't care much about the national food coupons. She just wanted to stay in the old city.

"Butler, has the master ever asked me if he has given me a job?"

The housekeeper smiled slightly, "Miss Song, you are a good person and a smart person. Since the first day you approached the master, everyone knows what you think."

"We are all just playing around. The master asked me to come because we have grown close over time. He asked me to come and see you off. He gave you the food coupons in the hope that you can have a better life."

Now that things have come to this, no matter how dumb Song Qiunan is, he understands what is going on.

"Yeah, everyone knows that."

Song Qiunan fell to her knees with a thud. Her hard work for a month was just a joke in the eyes of others, so she took it seriously.

"Miss Song, take care!" The housekeeper stuffed the national food coupons into Song Qiunan's hands and turned around and left decisively.

If it weren't for the fact that Song Qiunan gave her first time to him, the rich man wouldn't have let the butler come.

"Take it away." Director Wang waved his hand, signaling to take Song Qiunan away.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Song Qiunan stood up and was about to go back to the house to pack up his things. "Director Wang, can I ask you a favor?"

"You said."

Song Qiunan looked at his younger brother Song Yujie, saw his chubby appearance, and waved for him to come over.

"Director Wang, can you please not let my brother be with me?"

"why?"

"Why?" Song Qiunan's eyes revealed a fierce light, and he slapped Song Yujie on the face, leaving a slap mark.

"what--"

Song Qiunan pointed at her brother angrily and said, "Because of this burden, I will never get married. Look at him, he eats so much every day, who can support him and afford it?"

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be unable to get married, and I wouldn't be despised by others. Now I don't even have a body, who would want me! He follows me and is a burden to me!"

"Ah, sister, I want you! I don't want to leave you." When Song Yujie heard that his sister didn't want him, he burst into tears and grabbed Song Qiunan's thighs.

"Get out of the way!" Song Qiunan kicked him away. If she didn't have a burden with her, she didn't believe that she couldn't get married with her beauty.

With Song Yujie being such a big eater, who can afford to feed him?

Director Wang was in a dilemma. She knew Song Yujie's appetite and he definitely didn't want to keep him.

But Song Qiunan didn't want his brother to follow her. Even if he forced her to follow him, who knows what would happen if he got lost one day or died somewhere. It would be better to keep him than to lose his life.

"Okay, I'll put him in an orphanage."

"Thank you, Director Wang." Song Qiunan knelt down to express his gratitude and glanced at his distressed brother.

Perhaps this is the only way to keep Song Yujie alive. Even if he doesn't have enough to eat, it is better than starving to death.

Song Qiunan looked at her crying brother coldly, without any emotion, turned around and went back to pack her things, looking at the 5 kilograms of national food coupons in her hand.

Song Qiunan struggled a lot, and finally handed it to Director Wang, "Director Wang, please take care of my brother."

The 5 kilograms of national food coupons are of no use to Song Yujie. He can't keep them, only Director Wang can.

As for herself, she will just wait until she moves to another place and find someone to marry. She doesn't have any survival skills, but she hopes she can find a good family.

Director Wang looked at the food coupons that were stuffed into his hands, and his eyes flashed. Song Qiunan's behavior must show that she is still worried about her brother.

If she was forced to take him away, perhaps...
In the end, Director Wang did not choose to do so: "Okay, I understand. I will go back and take a look when I have time."

"They're all gone."

Everyone in the yard looked at the deserted back room. There were seven people when they first came, but now only Bai Xiuwen, Bai Chi, and Xu Sinan were left.

Several adults watched the three of them leave, and sighed in their hearts. If they didn't have jobs, they would definitely be taken away like them.
