Chapter 359: 342 Can I hug them? (Second Update)
Xiaofeng was stirred by Luo Yuzhu’s words.
The clothes she had been wearing when she was stolen?
After so many years, Luo Yuzhu hadn’t thrown those things away?
"Xiaofeng, I’ve never had the heart to throw these clothes away. I was also thinking that if your birth parents ever came looking for you, they should be able to find you. To be frank, back then, I was just confused and made a mistake. I’m not an evil person, just vain, and I always wanted to live a good life," Luo Yuzhu started pulling out piece after piece of small clothing from the bag: "If you ever want to find your birth parents, take these things with you. If they see them, they will definitely recognize them."
Luo Yuzhu laughed bitterly as she said this: "Back then, a young man had left you by the side. At the time, they all had their backs to me, so I didn’t see their faces. But from their accents, I knew they weren’t locals."
As she spoke, she handed the bag to Xiaofeng, with an expression that said more than words could: "Xiaofeng, I’m sorry."
Xiaofeng slowly accepted the bag Luo Yuzhu handed over and looked at the few exquisitely made doll clothes inside, as if she could see herself back then.
The original owner had always thought Luo Yuzhu was her real mother and had never expected that she wasn’t.
It was just that now she herself had been replaced and wasn’t the original owner.
"What’s the use of saying all this now?" Xiaofeng set the bag aside: "From now on, our debts and grievances are settled. You can go and live your lives."
Not forgiving Luo Yuzhu, so what? Things had already gotten to this point.
As for the path Lin Yue would take in the future, that was for Luo Yuzhu to worry about; it had nothing to do with her.
"Sister Xiaofeng," Lin Yue said with her head lowered: "You are a good person. You didn’t ignore me or wait to laugh at me because of Mom’s incident. I’ll come back to thank you when I’m capable."
"Alright, I’ll be waiting," Xiaofeng didn’t make things difficult.
When Luo Yuzhu came out, she saw the two little dolls in He Ximei and Guaizi’s hands, and tears just started flowing. How good it would have been if she hadn’t made mistakes back then.
She asked tentatively, "May I hold them?"
The fat woman hesitated a bit.
Xiaofeng came out of the house: "Mom, let her hold them."
Luo Yuzhu held the older child and then went to hold the younger one.
Looking at the tiny human in her arms, the scene from years ago felt like it was right in front of her. She had hastily stuffed Erbao into Guaizi’s embrace and runaway in panic.
She couldn’t bear this scene any longer.
"Mom." Lin Yue saw Luo Yuzhu walking away and hurriedly said goodbye to Xiaofeng: "Sister Xiaofeng, thank you for forgiving my mother. We’re leaving."
After speaking, she ran off after Luo Yuzhu.
He Ximei was somewhat puzzled: "What’s going on with them...?"
"They said they’re leaving this place and specifically came to say goodbye," Xiaofeng didn’t mention the doll clothes. Some things are best left in the past when they’re past.
"It must be a guilty conscience," Guaizi stood up. "If you had known this would happen, why did you even start."
Guaizi also remembered the little baby that had died in Luo Yuzhu’s hands. How young she had been, not even having seen the world before she was gone.
...
"Yuzhu, Yuzhu, you can’t leave. If you go, what will I and Jingjing do?" Granny Lin held onto Luo Yuzhu’s hand, pleading: "Yuzhu, how well has Jianguo treated you over the years? You tell me."
Luo Yuzhu looked at Granny Lin, no longer with fear in her eyes but with a sense of resignation: "I can confidently say that I haven’t let down the Lin family, nor have I wronged him, Lin Jianguo. But seeing me in there, Lin Jianguo not only didn’t save me, he even wanted to send me in. As husband and wife, our affection is also over."
Seeing that she couldn’t retain the other party, Granny Lin didn’t plead anymore: "If you want to leave, you can do so, but leave the money you have. Don’t think I don’t know how much money you’ve taken from the Lin family over the years."
This Luo Yuzhu was a thankless wretch, a greedy wolf.
"I’ve spent so many years in the Lin family, and I’ve worked hard without much reward," of course, Luo Yuzhu wouldn’t hand over the money: "You and Lin Jing should live a good life and wait for Jianguo to come out."
Having said that, she didn’t look at Granny Lin again and left with her suitcase.
"Luo Yuzhu, you heartless thing, you will regret this." Granny Lin stomped her feet in anger as she watched Luo Yuzhu truly leave.
She had long known that Luo Yuzhu was unreliable. Look, as soon as Jianguo had a mishap, she immediately took flight to enjoy her carefree days.
"Granny, let them go. With the way she and her daughter are, they will come back sooner or later even if they leave," Luo Yuzhu knew too well that she wasn’t one to endure hardships.
As for Lin Yue, as dumb as a pig, she was even less likely to achieve anything significant.
"It’s not that I’m upset she’s leaving, but rather that she’s taking our family’s money with her." She didn’t feel the slightest sadness about Luo Yuzhu leaving.
"Granny, don’t worry." Lin Jing picked up a small pack: "You can rest assured, I definitely won’t let you suffer."
"Jingjing, what is this?" Grandma Lin only then noticed that Lin Jing was dressed very nicely, seemingly ready to go out.
"I’m going to the hospital to see if there’s a need to go out." Lin Jing came from a medical school; even though she still had six months to go, she was confident that she could secure a position at the hospital.
"Right, you are a medical school graduate. If you can get a stable position at the hospital, then our lives, as grandmother and granddaughter, would be settled," Grandma Lin had almost forgotten that Jingjing had graduated from medical school; if she could get a job at the hospital, it would be a steady source of income.
"Grandma, don’t worry. The father of a friend of mine is the hospital’s dean, and I’ve already asked her to talk to her dad. I just need to follow the process, and then I can start working," Lin Jing was very confident in herself.
"Okay, you go on then." Grandma Lin didn’t want to delay Lin Jing’s hospital interview: "Perform well, Granny will wait at home for your good news. I’ll go to the market in a bit and buy some nice food to prepare a special meal for our Jingjing tonight."
...
"Hello Uncle Niu, I’m Lin Jing, Xuanxuan’s classmate. Xuanxuan must have told you already, I will graduate in half a year; but due to my family’s financial situation, I would like to start working at the hospital ahead of time," Lin Jing believed her speech was succinct and her manners impeccable, surely leaving a good impression.
"Ah, Lin Jing." Dean Niu looked up and gave her a quick glance: "Xuanxuan did mention you, but what I care about is ability."
"Don’t worry, Uncle Niu, I can definitely do it," Lin Jing believed her professional skills were up to par and could withstand any test. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Alright, you can start by doing odd jobs around the hospital. We’ll see how you perform," Dean Niu had heard from Xuanxuan that her family used to be well-off before falling on hard times.
Currently, they had no source of income, and the grandmother and granddaughter were depending on each other, living a very difficult life. He wanted to help as much as he could.
Being new, she definitely wasn’t qualified for other positions, but doing odd jobs, running errands, and such should be possible.
Lin Jing had thought that Uncle Niu would let her go straight to the nurses’ station, but after all the talk, she was only asked to do odd jobs in the hospital.
She smiled: "Uncle Niu, Xuanxuan and I are not only good friends but also classmates. We..."
"What, are you looking down on doing odd jobs?" Dean Niu had seen more types of people than Lin Jing had read books about. How could he not understand what she meant by her words?
"That’s not what I meant," Lin Jing said with an awkward smile. "I just think my professional skills should be sufficient to start work immediately."
To put it kindly, it was odd jobs; to speak harshly, it could even mean cleaning up the hospital’s trash.
"Fine then." Dean Niu handed her a case file: "Prepare the IV fluid according to what’s written here."
Lin Jing was a bit stunned as she looked at the order.
During school, she hardly ever attended practical classes and had no idea how to proceed; she...
"You think being a nurse is as simple as just administering injections?" Dean Niu laughed: "If you can’t even mix an IV fluid, how can I trust you?"
If she couldn’t handle the most basic tasks, letting her administer injections to patients was definitely out of the question.
Lin Jing still didn’t want to give up: "Uncle Niu, as Xuanxuan must have told you, my family is in particular hardship right now, and I have a grandmother above me. If I don’t work, our life will be very difficult, see?"
"I didn’t say I wouldn’t give you a job." Dean Niu stood up: "If you want to work here, I’ll welcome you at any time, but you’ll have to start from the most basic tasks in the hospital."
Lin Jing imagined herself transforming into a cleaning lady and couldn’t help but feel disheartened; she didn’t want to become a cleaner.
"Okay, Uncle Niu. I’ll go back and think it through properly," Lin Jing had come thinking that with her relationship as Niu Ningxuan’s classmate, getting a job at the hospital would be easy.
She hadn’t expected Dean Niu to be so difficult to persuade, undoubtedly because he knew her father had lost his influence, so he dared to treat her this way.
"Uncle Niu." Xiaonian and Xiaoyan knocked on Dean Niu’s office door: "Uncle Niu, mom sent us to ask if we can leave now?"
"Sorry to keep you waiting, I’ll be right down," Dean Niu picked up his coat and removed his white coat: "Ms. Lin, you head home and think about it. When you’ve decided, come back and see me, I have to step out for a moment now."
Xuanxuan said she was very eager to find work, but now it seemed, she wasn’t all that desperate.
