Rebirth and making money first

Chapter 193 Don’t expect peace even if you move

Achen's surgery had taken place a week ago, and Zhang Jing hadn't slept all night. She gave Achen some milk, and he slept soundly. Zhang Jing had initially planned not to go to the hospital, but couldn't resist. She stayed outside the operating room, and as a family member, she also had to sign the consent form.

Before, Achen comforted Zhang Jing: "Don't worry, I want to save my father. I can't let my father die."

Afterwards, Achen asked Zhang Jing, "Ajing, am I very brave?"

Zhang Jing held back her tears and nodded, but she felt isolated and helpless in her heart.

Worried and guilt-ridden, the mother-in-law hesitated to speak to Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing closed her eyes, thinking that even if she had money, no matter how much it was, it wouldn't stop her family from plundering her. She felt sorry for Achen, but in his parents' eyes, Achen was the one being sacrificed. She didn't even have the right to object!

If one day, they needed Achen's kidney, would Achen have to sacrifice his life? Zhang Jing felt cold all over when she thought of this. She didn't want anyone to dominate her life, not even Achen's!

I can't be so passive. Looking at Achen's pale face when he was pushed out, Zhang Jing's face was also pale. Hearing that the operation was successful, Zhang Jing was at a loss.

"The operation was successful. Remember to go home and take good care of yourself!" The doctor's words made the whole family breathe a sigh of relief. Only Zhang Jing watched it all silently. She felt that as long as Achen could recover and was still by her side, everything was worth it.

In the following days, Achen slowly recovered from the operation, and her father-in-law also gradually got better. Zhang Jing took care of the two children silently, and her heart gradually settled down. Life returned to the track again. Zhang Jing thought about it and felt that there were some things that she still had to explain to Achen. Looking at Achen's gradually recovered smile, she thought it was better to go home and talk about it.

Achen's work had been delayed for a long time because of his leave. Zhang Jing thought about it and decided to let Achen quit this job. When he returned home, there would be someone to help take care of the children. Zhang Jing discussed this issue with Achen and asked him, "Are you still willing to continue doing this job?"

Achen said he was willing to continue working. He wanted to provide Zhang Jing with a secure home. He felt that as a man, he should take care of his family. He assured Zhang Jing that he would recover soon. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Ajing. I will take care of you and the baby. We will be fine as a family!"

Zhang Jing was deeply moved by this. She felt that Achen really needed this job, so how could she deprive him of his right to work? But she was unwilling to keep it a secret.

Three months passed quickly, and the day for Zhang Jing to move arrived. After some thought, Zhang Jing went back to the new house. She felt that she should find a job for Achen near the new house. Only then would Achen be able to focus on the family wholeheartedly and stay away from her in-laws.

In Zhang Jing's mind, after their marriage, Achen became her property, the one she would protect, including her child. Zhang Jing desperately wanted to keep the person she cared about under her wing. She felt Achen would only be safe with her. Unbeknownst to her, she had unknowingly fallen into a misunderstanding.

Since the cleaning work in the community wasn't going well, Zhang Jing thought about opening a lottery booth. They said that lottery booths were now open for applications, as long as they paid a deposit. But Achen wasn't sure if this was feasible with numbers and computers, and the lottery booth seemed time-consuming. Zhang Jing looked at the shops downstairs in the community and thought, "Opening a snack bar would be fine, but what would you sell?"

Zhang Jing thought about it and decided to ask around. Ah Chen, after all, would only do what you told him to do. He couldn't handle a task that was too complicated, and she didn't know if he'd enjoy it. She thought it would be best to ask him.

Moving was on the agenda, and Zhang Jing decided to move as soon as possible. The new house was already decorated, the air conditioning had been restored, and the furniture and appliances had been moved in. It was just time to move in. Grandpa helped her choose an auspicious date, and Zhang Jing hired a moving company that day. All her belongings had been packed two days before, and Zhang Jing was determined to move everything in one go.

The whole family busied themselves helping out, and Zhang Jing moved to a new neighborhood with great fanfare. The neighborhood had a high occupancy rate, with many people already moving in. After arranging her belongings in the spacious house, Zhang Jing decided to slowly tidy things up.

Since the new house was getting warm, it was necessary to invite everyone to have a meal. Zhang Jing thought about it and decided to book a meal at the restaurant. She just boiled a pot of water at home and invited everyone to come and warm the house.

Gatherings are always joyful days. Everyone came to see Zhang Jing's new house. Including Zhang Zhi, Zhang Xiaobing, Director Chen, and Alan and his wife, they all praised Zhang Jing's house. The neighborhood environment, including the kindergarten's move-in, made everyone envious. Having paid hundreds of thousands for nearly a million yuan for this house, Zhang Jing felt that this was the home she truly wanted.

After warming up the house, everyone went to the restaurant for dinner. Achen was also very happy, but this place was still a bit far from Acheng's workplace, so they had to discuss how to get back.

Director Chen approached Zhang Jing and asked if Achen wanted to continue working. Zhang Jing said she hadn't asked Achen yet, as his condition hadn't fully recovered. However, she didn't want Achen to continue working and wanted to find him a job nearby. They would discuss the details later. Director Chen said he could only keep Achen for a while; if he decided to quit, he could find a replacement.

Before going to bed that night, Zhang Jing asked Achen if he was willing to continue working in his previous job or find a job near home. Achen said he didn't know and would have to wait and see what Ajing thought. Zhang Jing looked at Achen and said, "I actually hope you can stay home and help me take care of the two children. It's too far away and I'm afraid I won't be able to find you if something happens. After all, my mother-in-law lives far away and Zhang Zhi is not close by either. If the children have any problems, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

Achen said, "Then we should find a job nearby."

Zhang Jing asked: "If I ask you to make and sell sesame cakes or cold noodles, would you be willing to do it?" Achen said, I haven't learned that yet, I don't know how to do it!

Zhang Jing asked, "If I want to open a lottery shop and sell lottery tickets, do you know how to print them? How about typing numbers?" Achen said, "I think I can. Can you teach me?"

Zhang Jing took out her computer, turned it on, and said to Achen, "Come here, I'll teach you. It's very simple. Type these numbers for me." Achen thought for a moment and then typed them out as Zhang Jing asked. Zhang Jing pressed and asked again, explaining which key was the Enter key, which was the Return key, which was the Delete key, and how to move the cursor. After a few simple operations, she asked Achen to learn as well.

But Achen couldn't do it, and asked curiously, "Can I get a job just by learning all this?" Zhang Jing thought that this job wouldn't be easy for him to master for a while. The thought made her feel overwhelmed. Well, forget it, she should find him a simpler job. Achen asked Zhang Jing guiltily, "Am I stupid?" Zhang Jing could only comfort him.

When Zhang Jing and Zhang Zhi talked on the phone about Achen's work, they were also worried. She said Achen's workplace was too far from home, but she couldn't stop him from working. She really didn't care about the little money he made. But she couldn't let him sit idle for too long; he wouldn't be happy that way.

I originally wanted to open a shop, but he couldn't get to the lottery shop. I was worried I wouldn't be able to handle the complex operations and have to keep someone else around. This neighborhood only has him cleaning, and he doesn't have social security. I really don't know what to do.

Zhang Zhi laughed at Zhang Jing: "You, your expectations are too high! What's with that social security? Just pay for it yourself! As long as he cleans, any fool would do it, right? He's a cleaner to begin with, and he can do it at work. I don't believe he can't do it in the community! Just let him clean the community too. Sweeping the floor, isn't that an easy job? It doesn't matter how much money he makes."

Zhang Zhi thought her daughter's kindergarten would also benefit from living in the community. She tried to persuade Zhang Jing, who agreed that it made sense. She decided to let Achen do the cleaning work in their own community. It was close to home, and he could go home for dinner after work. It would also be convenient for taking care of the children, and it wouldn't affect anything. Except for the lower salary and the lack of social security, she didn't mind.

Zhang Jing found Achen again and said to him, "Achen, I want you to work in this community. What do you think of cleaning here? If you can do it, I'd like you to be transferred here. It's closer to home, the work environment is better, you can see your children more often, and you don't have to go out for a commute. What do you think?"

Ah Shen thought about it and said, "Okay, but will they want me?" Zhang Jing said, it's none of your business.

The property management asked Achen to come in for an interview. After an assessment, they felt he was qualified for the job. Since he was the owner, he was easily hired, but the salary was indeed very low. Zhang Jing thought about it and repeatedly asked if he had social security, as Achen had always had it at his previous employer.

The head of the unit thought about it and said they wouldn't make a decision until after the two-month probation period. Because it depends on your work performance, not everyone can buy it; it depends on your individual circumstances. So Achen stayed there, cleaning. His shard happened to be a section, and the working hours there were irregular, so he just had to clean in the morning and evening.

Zhang Jing thought about it and decided it was a good idea. Ah Chen had finally started work, and he felt it was nice to slowly get acquainted with the place. Director Chen, relieved after receiving the call, was looking for someone and asked Zhang Jing to meet up again when she was free.

In their new neighborhood, Zhang Jing and Achen quickly became familiar with the surrounding grocery stores, hospitals, kindergartens, and other locations. Zhang Jing was grateful that she could finally live a life without being disturbed by her family.

Zhang Zhi kept urging her to enroll her little one in a local kindergarten. After some thought, Zhang Jing decided to go to the kindergarten and ask about it. Since her household registration wasn't local, she would have to attend a higher-priced kindergarten. The tuition was incredibly unaffordable, so she decided to ask Zhang Zhi to come over and see for herself.

"You guys always say tuition is expensive! No matter how expensive it is, we Hong Kong people can afford it! You just don't want your niece to go to kindergarten here, right? I've already agreed to pay the tuition, so everything else is fine! Okay, I'll go talk to the teacher myself."

Zhang Zhi disagreed, believing Zhang Jing simply didn't want to take care of her daughter. After hearing her complaints, Zhang Jing told her to find a kindergarten. After Zhang Zhi visited the kindergarten and saw everything there, she discussed it with her husband and decided to send the child there.

But she needed Zhang Jing's help to pick up the child, so after thinking about it, she softened her tone and said to Zhang Jing, "Sister, from now on, our daughter will rely on you as her aunt to help take care of her! As an aunt, you can't just ignore her, right? You've been taking care of this child for most of the time, and in fact, I've been with you. To be honest, it's no different from having a biological child, right? For the sake of sisterhood, can you help me? I'll give you some extra money every month!" Zhang Jing knew it was useless to refuse, so she simply agreed. She found that it was not easy to leave her family behind.

The mother-in-law came to visit Zhang Jing and the children, bringing many things with her. Knowing that Achen was already preparing for work, the mother-in-law said, "You all need to be well from now on. Don't worry about your dad; we'll take good care of him. Grandpa is also thinking about you, so go back and visit him when you have time. If you need any help, just let me know. Alas! Mom knows there are things I'm sorry about, but there's nothing I can do. Don't hate Mom or Dad; there's nothing we can do."

Zhang Jing said, "Mom, don't say that. We are all family and should help each other. Now that Achen and I have started our own family, we can live our own lives. After all, we are a little far from your place. Once we move back to our house, if there are any problems, we can still be together."

The mother-in-law said, "That's good. I came here today to tell you something. Xiaoxu is getting married! Your father has been recuperating since he was discharged from the hospital. It's just the right time for a happy occasion, not a big one. I wanted to discuss with you whether Xiaoxu could use the house that your family bought for Achen when you got married? You guys won't be using it anyway!"
