Chapter 1157 There will be no pie in the sky
Red Star Hospital
In a hospital room
Sun Xiaomo, who has recovered, is drinking the porridge her mother bought...
"Mom, do we have enough money to go back to Jinling?"
Chen shook her head helplessly: "It's enough, but what can we do if we go back? The Sun family has completely collapsed, and your cousin, that bastard, tricked us here. Now he's actually run away..."
Chen started to babble and scold her unreliable cousin...
Sun Xiaomo's mood, which had just recovered, became depressed again. She was an 18-year-old girl... She really didn't know what to do. She lost her job, and her cousin ran away with the money! Now in the city of Beijing, she and her mother didn't even have a place to stay...
Without the letter of certification, it would be difficult for the mother and daughter to find a place to live, let alone find a job.
Seeing that her daughter was sad again, Chen patted her on the shoulder.
"Xiaomo, don't be sad, dear child... Take care of your health first, your health is the capital of the revolution. Mom will find a way... Do you remember the man who saved you yesterday? I have already found out that he is the deputy secretary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and has tens of thousands of people under him! When he comes to the hospital again today, let's ask him for help..."
Sun Xiaomo was reminded by her mother and remembered what happened in the treatment room yesterday... The person who encouraged her to live well turned out to be a senior official.
"Mom, they are not even related to us... How can we ask them for help? Forget it!"
Chen sighed helplessly and said, "Mom was able to raise you even in the war. Now it's a new society. How can we starve to death? You were right to listen to mom... You are shy, so I'll go and beg him! We have to give it a try now, no matter if it works..."
While the mother and daughter were talking, Lin Chen walked into the ward...
"Comrade Sun Xiaomo is recovering well!"
The mother and daughter looked towards the door at the same time...
Chen hurried forward: "Secretary Lin, you are here. Thank you for saving my Xiaomo. I..."
Lin Chen raised his hand to interrupt the other person: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I can't just stand by and watch when I encounter this."
Chen found that the young man had no affection for her and was always cold, so she made eyes at her daughter...
After Sun Xiaomo realized what her mother meant, she quickly handed the porridge in her hand to her mother.
"It may be a trivial matter for Secretary Lin, but it is a big deal for ordinary people like us. Thank you for saving me..."
Chen quietly left the room with the empty bowl in her hand. She hesitated at the door of the ward...
"It seems that I am not popular! I don't know if Xiaomo dares to ask. Now even if I return to Jinling, I will have nothing. The house given by the Sun family has also been taken away..."
In the ward, Lin Chen walked to the bed and took out the needle bag...
"You will be almost recovered after one more acupuncture treatment today. Don't be so emotional next time... Your illness won't be cured in a short time, but I am confident that I can control it with a few more treatments."
Sun Xiaomo nodded slightly and sat back on the hospital bed.
"I remember! Yesterday I was really... I was deceived and I got so emotional that I had an epileptic seizure."
While performing acupuncture, Lin Chen asked, "Tell me what's going on. I'll see if I can help you."
Now that Lin Chen asked, Sun Xiaomo did not hide it...
She told Lin Chen everything about her illegitimate child, and she herself didn't know why... These things hurt her for the rest of her life, and she was usually most afraid of others knowing. But when facing Lin Chen, she didn't want to lie to the person in front of her...
Lin Chen asked deliberately to see if she was honest. If she dared to be clever like her mother... that would be a different matter.
"So what are your plans for the future? Will you stay here or go back home?"
Sun Xiaomo shook her head: "I don't know why I want to go back but my mother doesn't want to go back... She may want to change my environment and start a new life for me."
……
ten minutes later
Lin Chen turned and shouted towards the door: "Come in!"
At this time, Chen walked in with an awkward smile.
"Secretary Lin, you must save people to the end. I heard that you are a senior official. Can you arrange a way for my mother and me to survive? If the hospital kicks us out again, we will really have to live on the streets... I don't mind losing my life, but Xiaomo is still young."
Although Chen's words were pitiful, Lin Chen's principles would not change...
"How about this! I'll arrange a temporary job for you to do odd jobs in the canteen of the steel mill. You can stay in the factory dormitory for now, and Comrade Sun Xiaomo can wait until you recover. Do you think this is okay?"
Lin Chen didn't want Chen to be idle now. It would be strange if he didn't get reported if he did nothing every day without a job.
Working as a handyman in the canteen of a steel mill is not an easy job...but it is enough to support myself through labor, and most importantly, it allows me to separate mother and daughter.
After hearing this, Chen immediately looked at her daughter, and then expressed her gratitude to Lin Chen...
"Okay, okay, I can do it... I have been doing odd jobs to support my daughter and me over the past few years. But where will Xiaomo live in the future?"
Sun Xiaomo was also very moved at this time. She didn't expect that the senior cadre in front of her would not only save her life... Now she felt really sorry for herself and her mother. The job could be arranged as soon as she said it. Although it was a temporary job, she would not end up living on the streets...
"Comrade Sun Xiaomo is definitely not capable of doing physical work. I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll go back and take a look! You can report to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill tomorrow. When you get to the gate, tell them I asked you to come and someone will arrange for you."
Chen was so excited that she knew she had made the right choice... He was young and handsome, so she looked like a bad guy. Being able to be a manager of a large factory with 10,000 employees at such a young age was not something that everyone could do.
ten minutes later
Before Lin Chen returned to the steel rolling mill, he arranged for Sun Xiaomo to stay in the inpatient department for another three days and sent her meals from the hospital cafeteria.
As for Chen, he should just go to the steel mill and be self-reliant! There is no such thing as a free lunch…
Chen was so excited after Lin Chen left!
"How is Xiaomo? I always say that there is always a way out. Don't be so depressed in the future. You scared your mother to death yesterday! How can I live if you lose your mother? There is no such thing as a dinner without a reason. You are so beautiful, you should seize this opportunity..."
When Sun Xiaomo heard her mother was about to say something nonsense again, she glared at her. Now she didn't know what the other party was like, and her mother actually wanted her to go...
Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be angry if mom doesn't say anything. Don't be angry... I don't want you to suffer either!"
Sun Xiaomo sighed helplessly: "Mom, you are still young, why don't you find a reliable person to marry! You don't have to worry about me. If you get married now, maybe you can have another child. It will be no good to get married in a few years..."
Sun Xiaomo had advised her mother to remarry more than once, but Chen had high standards! She didn't even look down on ordinary men...
"Why are you talking about me again, kid? I will consider it...I will definitely not wait any longer if the Sun family is finished."
