A Farm Girl: Three Acres of Fertile Land Can Be Exchanged for a Country

Wutong pulled her hand away and said, "I'm not looking for any difficult job. It's just an interview for a supermarket stock clerk position. It's not difficult at all."

Dr. Su patiently and earnestly persuaded her.

"Don't think of things as so simple, Wutong. This world isn't all good people. Even if you don't get caught by those people, what if you run into bad guys on your way to or from get off work?"

Wutong asked, "So you absolutely forbid me from going out to work, is that right?"

Dr. Su gritted her teeth and said, "That's right."

Wutong took a few steps back and said coldly, "If you insist on this, then we can only part ways. Dr. Su, I am very grateful for your help during this time, but Duan Fufeng will not wake up in a short time, and I am idle all day long. Such days are too hard to bear."

Dr. Su stared at her blankly: "Are you leaving?"

"Yes."

He lowered his head in disappointment, unable to believe her decision.

Wutong said, "I've kept a record of all the money you've spent on me during this time, and I'll definitely pay you back when I have the chance... Although it's hard to believe such a thing, I have no other choice. Dr. Su, thank you so much."

After she finished speaking, she walked to her room, closed the door, and began to pack her things.

There wasn't much to pack; everything she owned was bought by Dr. Su, so it wouldn't be appropriate to take it with her. The only thing that truly belonged to her was the clothes she'd stolen from someone else's car. Wutong changed into them, walked out empty-handed, said goodbye to Dr. Su who stood motionless, and was about to open the door to leave.

Dr. Su moved swiftly, blocking her path.

"You can't go."

Wutong thought he was going to force himself on her, and her face darkened. She clenched her fist in the pocket of her trench coat, ready to fight back at any moment.

To everyone's surprise, his next sentence was: "I promise to let you go out to work."

"……are you serious?"

Dr. Su nodded and asked earnestly, "So, can you stay?"

His concession put Wutong in a difficult position, leaving her unsure of what to do.

Dr. Su must have some ulterior motive. She knew there was danger, yet she still stayed here. Isn't she too oblivious?

But if she left him, she really wasn't sure she could find another person who could contact Duan Fufeng and who would be willing to tell her.

If you go to the hospital on your own, you're more likely to be recognized.

Seeing that she remained silent, Dr. Su's expression gradually turned sad, and he sighed heavily.

"Forget it, just go. I don't care anymore. You've never believed me anyway..."

In her haste, Wutong blurted out, "I'll stay."

"really?"

Dr. Su looked at her with surprise, his intense gaze leaving her no choice but to nod stiffly.

Dr. Su leaned against the wall and chuckled sincerely a few times.

"Haha...that's great..."

Wutong nervously tugged at the hem of her clothes and said, "Let's not mention this again. I'm going to sleep. See you tomorrow."

"Sleep? No way."

"how?"

"You haven't eaten dinner yet, but I've already made it. Here..."

Dr. Su pulled her to the dining table, pressed her shoulder to sit down, and handed her chopsticks.

Looking at the light and delicate dishes in front of her, Wutong felt a pang of hunger.

He called out loudly, and then stopped thinking about anything else and focused on eating.

The next day, Dr. Su went to work. Before leaving, he told Wutong to contact him anytime if she had any problems, and that he would answer her calls no matter how busy he was.

Wutong agreed, but he was still a little worried. He gave her a few hundred yuan and a bank card before driving away, looking just like a lover who deeply loves his girlfriend.

If they had just met, Wutong would have been touched by his warm hospitality and thoughtfulness. But she had already noticed something amiss, and no matter how much he did, it was only a cover-up.

Wutong put the few hundred yuan into her wallet and took the bus to her interview location—a department store.

Li Ran has a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance. After graduation, she has worked at the same company without ever changing jobs.

The HR person took the resume from Wutong, glanced at it, and asked in surprise, "Did you fill in the wrong job title? Why would an experienced accountant want to be a stock clerk?"

The difference in salary between the two is significant.

Wutong had anticipated this question on the way, so she came up with an excuse she had prepared beforehand.

“I had insomnia for a while and used some strong medication. I always felt overwhelmed when doing accounting. My doctor suggested that I switch to a simpler job. Also, accounting work is very stressful for me, which is the cause of my insomnia. I value my health, so I took my doctor's advice and decided to become a stock clerk.”

The HR looked at her with some skepticism, "Are you capable of doing this job?"

Wutong smiled and said, "No problem."

The HR went through her resume carefully but couldn't find any faults. She herself looked clean and neat, not like someone who was troubled by an illness.

It would be great to be able to hire a decent college graduate as a stock clerk. The HR thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you can work a three-day trial period, with a salary of 100 yuan per day. After these three days, you will become a full-time employee with a monthly salary of 4000 yuan, including meals, and a six-day work week with one day off."

Wutong began to make plans in her heart.

A salary of 4000 yuan is not much in Shanghai; it's barely enough to feed one person. But since she's staying with Dr. Su, it means she can save all her money. Once Duan Fufeng is rescued, she can at least rent a decent place and avoid having to sleep on the streets with him.

Something is better than nothing, thinking that Wutong raised her head and said, "Okay."

The job was settled, and I started work that same day.

The job of a stock clerk involves trivial tasks such as shelving inventory, restocking, labeling, and checking expiration dates; there is almost no difficulty involved.

However, since it was her first day at work, she wasn't familiar with the layout and misplaced an item in the afternoon, which resulted in her being reprimanded by her supervisor.

When I got home from get off work, Dr. Su was already sitting in the living room looking at medical records. Hearing me come in, he looked up, glanced at me a few times, and asked:

How was your first day at work?

Wutong changed her shoes and came in, put her bag on the coffee table, and lazily lay down on the sofa.

"good."

"If it's too hard, don't do it. I really don't care about the money."

Wutong lifted her eyelids to look at him, thinking to herself how wonderful it would be if he were really as gentle and kind as he appeared on the surface.

But where in the world are there truly pure and kind people?

No, that's not entirely true; asking your own conscience is one example...

Thinking of Wenxin, Wutong felt a little sad, wondering if she would ever have the chance to see him again in this lifetime.

Ruolan's son is still with him. If she doesn't go back... there will probably be another Wenxin in the world.
