Chapter 737: Getting into trouble
It is better to provide timely assistance than to add icing on the cake. Fu Ling's action can be said to have touched the heart of Chen's mother.
"But 40 yuan is a bit too much, Lingling. You've helped us so much, how can I take advantage of you again? Just give me 20 yuan a month, and I will definitely clean your house for you."
"Aunt, I'll give you whatever you say, not a penny more or less. Of course, if I'm satisfied, I'll give you a raise. Besides, you've been a big help to me. My house isn't small, and it's not easy to take care of."
Women of this era all have the spirit of hard work and perseverance, and Chen's mother would not give up this opportunity just because she felt it was too hard.
"It's okay. I clean at home all the time. I can do it no matter how big it is."
With the hope of survival, Chen's mother's face regained its vitality.
Chen Ting also pulled herself out of the pain. She laughed and cried, finally showing the emotions that a normal person should have.
While Fu Ling wasn't paying attention, Chen's mother fell to her knees.
"Auntie, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
Seeing her mother kneeling down, Chen Ting also got off the hospital bed and knelt down to Fu Ling.
"Hurry up and get up. I can't accept such a big gift."
"Lingling, you can handle this. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do next. You've given us mother and daughter hope for life. If you need us in the future, just ask. I'd be willing to sacrifice my life for you."
Fu Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He helped Chen's mother up from the ground and said, "There's no need for you to risk your lives. Besides, I didn't do anything. I just did what I could."
"It may not mean much to you, but to us mother and daughter, it is like a rebirth. We will always remember this kindness in our hearts."
"Okay, okay, then help me look after the house. That will be the best way to repay me."
Fu Ling helped Chen Ting up from the ground: "You haven't recovered yet, so stay in bed and rest. I've been worried about you a lot, so don't do anything stupid again, okay?"
"Sister Ling, I understand. I won't act stupid again and will definitely be filial to my mother."
Chen Ting is a good student, so getting into university wasn't difficult for her. "After arriving on the island, I picked up my textbooks again. The saying that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent is pure nonsense. Girls should be self-reliant. We are no worse than boys, and we can also change our destiny with knowledge."
These words startled Chen Ting, and she stared blankly at Fu Ling.
Her fiancé once said the opposite, that he only hoped she would stay at home to take care of the husband and children, and that the task of earning money to support the family should be left to the man. Even Chen's mother had never said such a thing.
Chen Ting seemed to have opened the door to a new world and was full of expectations for the future.
She nodded firmly at Fu Ling: "I understand, Sister Ling. I will definitely study hard."
"Yes, that's the look in your eyes, Tingting. You must remember that you are no worse than others. Life has many obstacles, but once you overcome them, you will have a new life. Only after the storm can you see the rainbow."
"Okay, I remember." Chen Ting wiped away her tears, her eyes became clearer, and her face, which was originally full of gloom, glowed again. The seeds of hope were slowly sprouting.
Knowing that they didn't have much money, Fu Ling took out four big unity notes and handed them to Chen's mother.
"Aunt, consider this as an advance payment of your salary."
"This...how can this be? We're getting paid before we even do any work...this isn't the rule." Even though she was short of money, Fu Ling had already helped her a lot, and now he was giving her an advance on her salary, which made her feel a little guilty.
"It's okay. The rules are dead and the living are dead. You are in need of money right now. I trust you so much, so I'm not afraid that you will take the money and run away."
Then he took out a pen and paper and wrote down the Lu family's address, and also wrote down the location of the house on the island and gave it to Chen's mother.
"Aunt, when Tingting is discharged from the hospital, you can come to my house to find me. I will then arrange for you to go to the island."
"Okay." Mother Chen carefully folded the note and put it in her pocket, fearing that she would lose it.
After staying for a while and making sure there was no problem, Fu Ling left the hospital.
With a long sigh of relief, the mother and daughter were finally settled, and Chen Ting's condition had improved.
She was also extremely thankful that Chen Ting was a person who listened to advice. If she refused to listen, she would have no choice but to resort to brainwashing, which would have destroyed her own personality. Fu Ling didn't want to go to this step until the very last moment.
Fortunately, the matter was resolved perfectly.
Today is Saturday and dinner is delayed by an hour.
When Lu Beichen came back, the food was already prepared and they were waiting for him to come back and eat.
"The food is ready and you can eat first. You don't have to wait for me to come back."
"If it were winter, I wouldn't wait for you. You don't know how to hurry up. You didn't come back until 7:30."
The Lu family once again staged the story of "loving mother and filial son".
Lu Beichen just smiled and didn't take over the conversation, then looked at Fu Ling.
Fu Ling happened to be looking at him, their eyes met, and they both smiled.
At this moment, Fu Ling finally felt relieved. He said that the Lu Beichen he knew would not be so fragile. It seemed that he had thought it through. He had been worried that he would get stuck in a dead end, but fortunately he didn't.
After dinner, the two chatted under the moon.
"Honey, what do you think of my arrangement?"
"very good."
Giving a sum of money cannot solve the problem. Fu Ling's move is to arrange a stable place for the mother and daughter of the Chen family. Even if they don't want to live on the island in the future, they will have savings at that time and can go wherever they want.
"I just came up with this idea on the spur of the moment. This way I can kill two birds with one stone. I can help them and take care of the house at the same time."
Then he looked at Lu Beichen and asked, "Husband, have you really let it go now?"
"Are you so unconfident about your husband?" Lu Beichen laughed.
"It's because I'm too confident in you that I'm afraid you'll get stuck in a rut."
He took Fu Ling's hand and clenched it in his palm: "You are the only one in this world who can control my emotions."
Fu Ling smiled.
"Wife, have you found any other invaders in the past few days?"
"Not yet." Fu Ling shook his head.
Points are burned every day in order to search for any further invaders.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan and his group made a lot of money, otherwise they would not dare to do this.
"The key is that there's still no news from the Universe Judge. We don't know what's going on there. If they truly are taken over by darkness, the entire universe will be in dire straits."
This was what Fu Ling was most worried about. She originally thought that God had given her a chance to be reborn, but she didn't enjoy the good days for a few days before problems occurred one after another.
"If the situation really becomes uncontrollable, I will take everyone away from this planet and we will go to Xuanyuan to live. After all, there are always more solutions than problems." Fu Ling joked.
