I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week Novel - Chapter 645

645 Leave Them Some Dignity

Lin Yi’s expression froze in an instant.

Fear and anxiety filled his heart, and he gently held the old lady’s hand.

“Everything will be fine. For Dongdong’s sake, you have to live well. You still have to watch him go to university and marry a wife.”

The old lady smiled again. “We’ll take things day by day. Try to save more for him.”

!!
“We all have to work hard to survive.”

The old lady handed the red cloth bag to Lin Yi and said seriously, “You can definitely help me keep this.”

“Alright, I’ll keep it for you,” Lin Yi said, “But you have to come over tomorrow morning.”

“As long as you can help me save this money, I’ll listen to you.”

“Then it’s settled.”

The old lady grinned. “It’s past eleven. I won’t disturb the two of you anymore. You have to live a good life in the future. Don’t make a fuss.”

“Okay, got it.”

“Grandson, let’s go. Your brother and sister are going home.”

“Got it, Grandma.”

Wang Dongdong walked out of the kitchen with a large bag of food that Ji Qingyan had prepared for him.

Ji Qingyan checked the water and electricity while Lin Yi locked the doors and windows. The four of them walked out of the shop.

“Grandma, look, there are so many scraps today. There are so many things. I think we can sell them for at least 80 yuan!”

After he finished speaking, Wang Dongdong took out the sack he had prepared beforehand and began to fill it with the scraps.

“Auntie, there are so many things. You can’t carry it all at once, right? We’ll drive you back.”

“No need, no need.”

The old lady said as she packed her things, “If we can’t finish it in one trip, we can come back to get it.”

“That’s troublesome. You guys have to go through a lot of trouble to do that. Let us send you back. The sooner we’re done, the sooner we can rest when we get back.”

“No way.”

The old lady smiled and said, “You two have already helped us a lot. You have your own lives to live, and we have ours. As long as we don’t die, we have to work hard to survive. Don’t you agree, young man?”

“You’re right.” Lin Yi laughed.

Hugging Ji Qingyan’s shoulder, Lin Yi gave her a light pat. “Let’s go home.”

“Yeah.”

“Goodbye, Brother and Sister.”

“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”

Ji Qingyan reluctantly left. She still wanted to help.

The two of them drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion. Ji Qingyan took off her sneakers and untied her long hair that was tied behind her head.

“Do you think Dongdong and his grandma can finish selling the scraps?”

“It’ll probably take a while,” Lin Yi said.

“There’s more and more trash these days. They have to make another trip. How can they finish it so quickly?”

“If the two of us had helped, we would probably be done by now.”

“Forget about helping them, leave them some dignity,” Lin Yi said.

“All these years, even if the old lady went to pick up trash, she never thought of living as a beggar. She must have a strong backbone. They can accept a portion of our help, but they can’t accept everything. She still wants to live on her own. This is also why she didn’t want us to send her even after we tried so hard to pursued her.”

“I got it.”

Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief as the old lady’s words echoed in his mind.

“The human world is too bitter. I don’t want to come back.”

If not for the fact that she really couldn’t take it anymore, she wouldn’t have said such a thing.

“By the way, what did you say to Auntie when Dongdong and I were in the kitchen?”

Lin Yi took out the red cloth bag from his shirt pocket and poured out the money inside.

“This.”

“Money?” Ji Qingyan was surprised. “The old lady gave it to you?”

“Yeah.” Lin Yi said, “She said that her health is deteriorating day by day. She was afraid that she would suddenly run out of money, so she left the money with me.”

‘You’ll have to tell the aunt not to say anything so unlucky.’

“That’s true, but she’s already in her 80s. Her bodily functions have degenerated. She can’t eat or sleep well. It’s already pretty impressive that she could maintain her current state.” Lin Yi said.

“I’m going to take her to the hospital tomorrow and arrange a cardiac stent surgery. It can relieve her current issues.”

“That’s fine, but you have to do it well.”

“I’ll do it myself. What are you afraid of?”

“Hehe, then it’s as good as done~”

Ji Qingyan planted a kiss on Lin Yi’s cheek. “Doctor Lin is the best.”

“In what way?”

“In every way.”

Lin Yi rubbed his chin. Tsk tsk tsk, what a compliment!

Ji Qingyan sat on the sofa and pushed Lin Yi aside with her butt.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Go wash up.”

“What’s wrong? You can bully others just because you have a big butt.”

“Yes, it’s bigger than yours. Go wash up.”

“Don’t you usually go first?”

“I want to count the money. I’ll get the finance department to get a bank card tomorrow to save it all.”

“Fine.”

The two of them split up and did their own things before resting.

Back in the bedroom, Lin Yi called Li Chuhan and told her what had happened.

Li Chuhan happily agreed and said that she would arrange for a checkup and surgery as soon as possible.

After arranging everything, Lin Yi put on his clothes and lay down, preparing to wake up early tomorrow.

After this, he would take them to the hospital.

…

Outside the store, the old lady and Wang Dongdong put all the waste into a sack.

“Grandma, let’s pack this much first,” Wang Dongdong said as he wiped his sweat.

“Lock the box and come back for it later.”

“Huh.”

In the beginning, due to time constraints, Lin Yi had only prepared a few cardboard boxes.

However, due to problems with the quality of the boxes and the increasing number of waste products, he got someone to prepare a few larger wooden boxes for them. He even added a lock.

When the shop was empty, it would be locked. When there were people, it would be opened for people to recycle old items.

After locking the wooden box, the grandmother and grandson carried the sack on their shoulders and walked towards their home under the light of the street lamps.

The night was a little cold, but the smiles on their faces were indeed warm.

At one in the morning, the liveliness and prosperity of Zhengyang Street came to an end.

Other than the chirping of crickets and night cicadas, there was no other sound.

However, at this moment, three sneaky figures walked out from a small alley at the side.

The three of them were dressed uniformly. They were wearing wide hoodies, masks, and sunglasses. They covered themselves tightly without showing any identifying features.

In addition, the three of them carried some things to the entrance of the store.

“Brandon, are you sure this is okay?” Lewis whispered.

“What could possibly go wrong?” Brandon said disdainfully. “Later, we’ll break the glass and pour gasoline into the house. Then we’ll leave.”

“Lewis, you’re really a coward. Our procedures have been completed. We’ll be flying back to Meiguo at eight o’clock tomorrow morning. Even if they know that we did it, what can they do to us? The Meiguon law of will protect us.” Zach said.
