Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child
Chapter 46 The Ex-Husband in the Historical Fiction 12
The grain depot was located next to a main street in the north of the county town, and the entrance led to a very spacious courtyard.
To the left of the grain station stood a wall three or four meters high, protecting the warehouses inside, while to the right were several rows of family quarters.
The pregnant woman led Shao Linshen to a residential building. They went up the stairs to the innermost door on the second floor, took out a key from her pocket, opened it, and led the man directly into the house.
The room still smelled strongly of Chinese medicine. Someone peeked out from the kitchen, saw the woman leading Shao Lin Shen in, gave him a strange look, wiped their wet hands, and came out to ask:
"Juan'er, you're still at get off work at this hour, why are you back? Is the little one in your belly making you restless again?"
"No, Mom, I brought this young man here to talk to Dad about something."
Wang Juan, supporting herself on one hand against her lower back, briefly recounted what had just happened before saying:
"Only Dad has seen the young man who rescued the person. We only identified him based on Dad's description of the man's clothes and appearance. We still need to find out the truth before we can say anything."
Wang Juan was still feeling lingering fear.
What if their family really repaid the favor in the wrong way? How aggrieved they would feel!
It's all thanks to that gossipy old woman at the station; otherwise, she wouldn't have come out to check on things.
The middle-aged woman patted her chest and looked at Shao Linshen standing to the side, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Seeing the sweat on his forehead, they kindly poured him a glass of water.
“Young man, I can tell at a glance that you are an honest and good boy. Don’t be afraid. Even if this is a mistake, we won’t blame you.”
"Come, come, sit down and rest for a bit. I'll go check if your uncle is awake."
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman opened the cookie box on the table and generously stuffed several cookies into Shao Linshen's hand. Without waiting for anyone to refuse, she hurriedly opened a wooden door and strode inside.
Wang Juan is heavily pregnant and her lower back is sore from walking such a long distance, so she's sitting down on a chair to rest.
Although Shao Linshen was dressed plainly and came from the countryside, he was generous in his manners and had a clear and upright gaze. Since entering the house, he did not look around like the others, appearing petty and narrow-minded. She inwardly thought more highly of him.
Shao Linshen had no idea that the other party was thinking so much. He had even been an emperor in the previous world. If he hadn't been constantly restraining himself, and his aura had truly been unleashed, who knows who would have scared whom?
As for the cookies in his hand, he was tired of eating all kinds of delicacies, so why was he tempted by these few dry cookies?
Just as he put the things back on the table, the middle-aged woman who had been inside for a while came out at the right time, raised her hand and gestured to the room behind her, inviting Shaolin Shen to come in.
inside the house.
On a wooden bed about two meters wide, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a bandage wrapped around his head was leaning against the headboard.
Hearing footsteps, he was just taking his glasses from the bedside table and putting them on when he looked up and saw Shao Linshen coming in from outside against the light.
The familiar attire and figure instantly excited the man. He originally wanted to stand up and invite Shao Linshen to sit down, but he felt dizzy and fell back onto the pillow behind him.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman quickly went over and patted the man's chest, complaining:
"I told you to be careful. Your head injury hasn't fully healed yet. Why are you making such a big movement?"
The middle-aged man didn't reply, but looked at Shao Linshen excitedly and said:
"Young man, I'm so glad to see you again. Last time, I was really grateful that you took me to the hospital, otherwise I would have lost my life."
It's a pity I only saw your wife visit once recently, otherwise we would have definitely treated you to a proper meal. Luckily, it's not too late now. I'll have them prepare some good food and we can have a nice drink together.
Before Shao Linshen could speak, the middle-aged woman opened her mouth in astonishment:
"What? Old man, you're saying he's the one who saved you?"
She pointed at Shao Linshen, then looked at her husband, and seeing him nod earnestly, she turned to Shao Linshen in surprise and said:
"Didn't you say your family had never saved anyone? No, wait a minute, since you're the young man who saved my old man, then what about the woman who came to my house last time, and what about your sister-in-law coming to work at the grain station? Doesn't that mean..."
The middle-aged woman slapped her thigh, suddenly realizing:
"So you were the one who saved the person, but you didn't know we were looking for you. Instead, your sister-in-law took the credit and pinned the blame on your brother."
"My God, this woman has some nerve! She actually dared to deceive our Chen family; she's got a death wish!"
As the woman recounted her story, Chen Feng also came to his senses, and his face turned frighteningly dark.
But seeing that Shao Linshen was still there, he forced a smile, quickly gestured for him to sit down, and after gathering his emotions, he spoke:
"Today's events were all a happy accident, a perfect coincidence that brought us together. Since you were the one who saved me, you should be the one to take over your sister-in-law's job."
Shao Linshen sat in the chair, but upon hearing this, he did not readily accept as the other party had expected. Instead, he directly shook his head and refused.
“I saved people purely out of the goodness of my heart, and I didn’t expect anything in return. The reason I came to the grain station this time was to see if I could get a job on my own.”
"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't take this job."
After saying that, Shao Linshen stood up with an upright expression, nodded to the couple, and turned to leave.
Chen Feng and his wife were truly surprised by his reaction and were momentarily stunned. They exchanged a glance, and their impression of Shao Linshen improved even more.
The middle-aged woman quickly stopped him, pulled Shao Linshen's arm, and asked him to sit down.
He smiled and said, "Hey, why are you so stubborn, child? Of course we know you don't expect anything in return, but we should at least have a chance to thank you, otherwise we'll feel bad."
“However, since you are not willing to accept this job, I happen to know that the supply and marketing cooperative is recruiting. Here’s what we’ll do: you stay at my house for a while, and after lunch, I’ll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative for an interview to see if you can get the job.”
Chen Feng, lying on the bed, also spoke:
“Your aunt is right. This job is open to everyone, not something we arranged for you behind the scenes. You can’t just walk away like that now, can you?”
As for whether the supply and marketing cooperative has hired anyone or not, that's just a matter of a few words. As a station chief, he still has that much influence.
However, this matter cannot be revealed to this fool.
"When the time comes, we can just put up a temporary notice at the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative."
The couple exchanged a glance, both thinking the same thing.
The simple-minded Shao Linshen had no idea about the subtle strife between the two. He was just an honest and straightforward country boy, how could he understand so many complicated matters?
Of course, he listens to whatever everyone says.
"Brother Shen, you're such a good actor. If I didn't know what kind of person you are, I would have been completely fooled."
Pangu Banner, staying within his sea of consciousness, was utterly awestruck by what he saw.
