Chapter 106 Solving the Recruitment Problem
Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Lin Guiying and the others' eyes again. Look how sensible the child is! Not only does she never complain about them, but she also always thinks of them.
Lin Xi was even angrier at the sight. Who was so blind as to bully her family? "Don't worry, I'll call Brother Yan Feng right now!"
It's no wonder Lin Xi thought that way. Back when her own shop became popular, she had already anticipated that some jealous people might cause trouble.
Isn't this scene a perfect example of what's to come?
Lin Guiying snatched the phone, "Xiao Xi, no one's causing trouble, we're just worried about you! Waaah..."
Lin Xi was extremely anxious. Her grandmother rarely cried. She looked at Lin Dayuan, who was still relatively calm, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Lin Dayuan wiped his nose and poured out his thoughts. Afterwards, the Lin family members apologized together, saying they would care for her more and spend more time with her in the future.
Lin Xi was both amused and exasperated, but at the same time felt a warm glow in her heart.
"That's not it. I really enjoy learning. I'm just too busy to pay attention to them. Over time, people might think I'm too aloof and don't like to interact with others, so they naturally stop talking to me. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Seeing that no one believed him, he added, "Really, it's because I think they're childish and we can't get along. Besides, it's not like I don't have friends. Orange is my friend, and I also have my senior brother and master."
"Think about it, I don't usually like going out during holidays either. With my abilities, how could I not make friends if I wanted to?"
The last sentence is the most convincing. Lin Dayuan and the others thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. Xiao Xi is so smart, how could she not make friends if she wanted to?
Anyone she wants to please is completely won over.
Now everyone was finally able to let go of their misunderstandings, and they smiled through their tears as they busied themselves preparing a big meal for the child.
Lin Xi was relieved.
She really wanted to tell her family that she had been reborn, but if she mentioned being reborn, everyone would definitely ask about the ending of her previous life.
Is she going to say that her father died in a car accident and was never seen again? That her grandparents passed away one after another from the shock? And that she herself was tormented by illness and died at a crossroads?
She didn't want to tell everyone about that tragic ending; it was too heartbreaking.
These are things that only I should know.
As fate would have it, just as the Lin family's shop closed, Yan Feng and Zhao Yang drove over. Seeing that the shop was locked, they figured it had probably sold out early again, so they drove straight to Lin Family Village.
Smoke curled from the chimney of the small courtyard, filling the air with an enticing aroma. Zhao Yang swallowed hard, his mouth watering, and Yan Feng shook his head helplessly.
The door wasn't closed, and the two went straight into the house. Lin Guiying was cooking, and when she looked up, she saw the two burly men again.
I couldn't help but say, "You've come at just the right time. I finally had some time to stew a chicken, and you two just happened to be here. Never mind what's going on, eat before you go!"
As he spoke, he added more mushrooms and potatoes.
Zhao Yang, being the least shrewd, immediately responded with a grin, "Yes, yes, ma'am."
Although Yan Feng didn't value food much, he always found it hard to resist the Lin family's cooking, and a rare smile appeared on his usually stern face. "Thank you, Auntie."
Upon entering the inner room, Lin Dayuan saw the two of them and reflexively asked, "Are you asking Xiaoxi to solve another case?"
Yan Feng nodded sheepishly. Always asking a young girl for help really made them, the police, look incompetent.
But there was nothing they could do. The bureau chief demanded that the case be solved within three days, and they still had no leads. They had no choice but to ask Lin Xi for help.
Seeing that Lin Dayuan looked somewhat dissatisfied, he added, "Don't worry, there's no danger."
Lin Xi came out when she heard the noise and comforted her father, saying, "Dad, I forgot to tell you, I'm a police consultant now, so it's normal for them to ask me to solve cases."
Lin Dayuan found it outrageous to appoint a nine-year-old child as an advisor; this bureau chief was truly... truly unconventional.
Yan Feng cut to the chase, "This case is a bit urgent, we can't wait until the weekend. It might interfere with your studies these next couple of days, I don't know..."
Lin Xi waved her hand dismissively, "It's alright, I can just ask the school for leave. The case is important."
She also knew that they wouldn't be in such a hurry if the case weren't so complicated.
"Don't worry, we'll talk to the school and won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Xi's expression was inscrutable; she wasn't embarrassed at all. The principal and the others always said she was too tense and wished she would take leave.
When the food was served, Yan Feng and Zhao Yang didn't have time to talk about the case and immediately buried themselves in their food.
Finally, all the rice and vegetables were completely devoured, not even a single grain of rice was left, and the vegetable bowl was scraped clean, as if it had never contained any vegetables.
Yan Feng blushed slightly and changed the subject, saying, "Auntie, I saw a job posting on the shop door. Are you short-staffed?"
Whenever this topic comes up, Lin Guiying worries, “Oh dear, it’s not enough, not nearly enough. To be honest, although we’re making money, we’re not living as comfortably as we used to.”
"What I want now is to hire a few more people so I can free myself up to take care of Xiaoxi and raise the chickens and geese every day."
Lin Guojun nodded repeatedly, "Right now I just want to pick up trash. Every time I deliver food, I see bottles on the road and I want to pick them up, but I don't have time. I feel so restless."
"Well, I don't want the two old people to be so tired. It's better to spend money to hire workers so they can do what they want to do. Otherwise, what's the use of me earning so much money?"
Lin Dayuan felt very sorry for his parents every day, seeing them so tired they couldn't straighten their backs, but he really couldn't do anything about it.
Yan Feng and Zhao Yang exchanged a glance. What kind of family was this? They spent a lot of money hiring workers, one to raise poultry and the other to collect scraps.
“I have a comrade-in-arms here…” As soon as he started speaking, the eyes of the Lin family members lit up.
"Ahem, aunties, don't be too happy. His condition is more serious than Tian Lei's. He... doesn't have a right hand, but over the years, he's trained his left hand very well, and he can do some simple work without any problem. You can pay him a little less..."
Lin Guiying accepts all comers, regardless of how much or how little work they do, as long as they can get the job done. Besides, soldiers are generally trustworthy!
Look at Tian Lei, he never slacks off. He works like a little bull all day long, always busy and energetic.
He immediately made the decision, "Come on! What does it matter if I'm missing a hand? I don't mind those things."
Lin Guojun and Lin Dayuan didn't mind at all.
Yan Feng was somewhat moved. He didn't think he had helped the Lin family solve their recruitment problem; on the contrary, the Lin family had taken in his friends who were physically disabled and struggling financially.
His eyes were slightly red, and he bowed solemnly, saying, "Thank you."
Then, as if remembering something, he added, "He also has a father, who is in his forties. He is an honest farmer with a lot of strength, but he sold his land to pay for his child's medical treatment and now works on a construction site."
“I was thinking, could we have him come work here together? You can just pay them the salary of one person.”
Yan Feng was a little embarrassed. One of them was missing his right hand, and the other was quite old. Which company would want to hire someone like that?
