Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"Hehe!" Li Dongfang smiled and stole a glance at You Fengxia and said, "Aunt You, I'll take my leave today. Thank you so much for today. I'll come visit you another day. You guys have a good rest. You still have to go to work tomorrow."

Aunt You looked at the pitch-black night outside, hesitated for a moment and said, "It's still a while before dawn, why don't you wait until dawn before leaving?"

"That's embarrassing. I hope I can't disturb Aunt You and your rest." Li Dongfang just made a gesture. After all, there were no male members in the family, and he couldn't just stay there.

"We are fine, and we won't go to work. We are just worried that you will not be in the mood for work tomorrow." You Fengxia felt it was a bit funny to see Li Dongfang giving in, but she didn't expose him.

"My work is very easy, and my boss would rather I have nothing to do every day." Only a fool would leave if he could use this opportunity to chat with beautiful girls of all ages.

"Not going to work?" Li Dongfang asked with some confusion.

You Fengxia looked at Aunt You hesitantly. Aunt You didn't have any concerns and said directly, "Your Aunt You's background is not good, and no unit is willing to hire her. She can only do odd jobs on the street to barely support us. But it's hard for Fengxia, the child, to suffer with me."

"Mom, I don't care about any job. I can make the same money working at home with you. I'm happy with my freedom." You Fengxia pursed her lips.

Aunt You sat on the edge of the kang, patted You Fengxia's little head lovingly, then looked at Li Dongfang and continued: "My original surname is Yehenala..."

Li Dongfang understood immediately after hearing it, and there was no need to explain the rest. This surname was the biggest sin in these days. Just because of this surname, 99% of people would avoid them as much as possible. If they were not afraid of people starving to death, the street office probably wouldn't want to care about them.

Of course, these are nothing to Li Dongfang, who came from later generations. On the contrary, they can be said to be a plus. Who doesn't have some thoughts about the princess and the county lord?

After listening patiently to Aunt You (Aunt You's real name is Yehenala Shuyi, hereinafter referred to as Shuyi), he said, "So even this house is rented." Li Dongfang sighed that this era is indeed full of malice towards some people. What does the affairs of the ancestors have to do with the descendants?

Li Dongfang had originally thought of using his position to get a job for Aunt You or You Fengxia when the steel mill recruited workers next year. But now it seems basically impossible, as political review is of paramount importance these days.

Li Dongfang's mind was racing. He had to tie the mother and daughter to his side so that he could get close to them. However, this road to work was blocked. Did he have to ask Director Wang from the Street Office for help secretly?

You Fengxia looked at Li Dongfang's eyes with her big watery eyes, and murmured with a pout: "His eyes move so fast, I can tell he has bad intentions. I have to be careful."

Got it, Li Dongfang's eyes lit up. Since the official job can't give us, we can hire privately. I'm going to find someone to help take care of Qin Huairu. It's not a problem to let Aunt You come. Qin Huairu is not incapable of independence. Cooking and housework are not heavy work. Besides, my three main rooms are more than enough for the mother and daughter to live in. But I don't know if Aunt You is willing, so I asked tentatively:

"Aunt You, I have something I would like to ask you for help with... Of course, I will pay you for it. I wonder if you are willing to help me."

When Aunt You heard this, she understood that Li Dongfang wanted to help them, so she smiled and said, "Dongfang, can I call you that? Most people don't want to have anything to do with us in our situation. Are you sure you still want my help?"

"Aunt You, why don't you listen to me first and then make a decision." Li Dongfang looked at Aunt You and continued when she nodded, "I have a neighbor who is pregnant and not in good health. Our compound held a meeting and asked me to take care of her. I can't do anything myself, so I plan to find someone to help. Food and accommodation are provided, and the salary is 30 yuan a month. I wonder if you are willing to do it."

When these words were spoken, both Aunt You and her daughter were shocked. 30 yuan a month, even if you work in a factory for a few years as a formal worker, you only get 23 yuan. He asked for 30 yuan. Why did he sound like a liar?

The two of them couldn't help but look at Li Dongfang with strange eyes, which made Li Dongfang feel creepy. "Aunt You, Fengxia, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that? I'm a little scared."

Aunt You was obviously too embarrassed to say anything, but You Fengxia had no worries and said directly: "You are a liar, right? How could you find such conditions in our house? I'm afraid that people who want to do it will fight for it. Tell me, what is your purpose?!"

Li Dongfang realized when he heard this. It turned out that the treatment was too good, which made them feel like it was fake. He was relieved and looked at You Fengxia with a smile and said, "If I say I like you, do you believe me?"
