The boss snorted coldly and said in a tough tone, "He hasn't worked for a few days. My business is good here. Where can I find someone temporarily? If you want him to leave, then you have to pay liquidated damages."

If the boss is good at talking, Lu Yongfei won't be angry with others. But when he encountered someone who was not easy to speak, he thought about the scene he saw in the lobby just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more angry.

"Where is the penalty for the part-time job? Did you sign the contract? Have you seen my child's ID card? Do you know how old he is?"

The boss hesitated: "He said he was eighteen, eighteen is not considered child labor."

"Then do you know that he is disabled?" Lu Yongfei raised his voice and asked aggressively: "He has a prosthetic leg, he can't run or jump normally, even if he doesn't bump or touch, his old injury will recur when he is a little tired. You asked him to carry such a heavy dish and do the work of running the hall for you?"

"How could this be the case... He didn't tell us."

The boss was completely defeated: "I looked at his feet and it was a little lame."

Knowing Jiang Haoyue's situation, he did not dare to use this person in his shop.

"Forget it, don't want your liquidated damages, when I am unlucky. I will settle his wages for the past few days to him."

Lu Yongfei found a food stall with few people and let Jiang Haoyue sit down. He needed to chat with him.

The boy followed behind him without saying a word to him since they came out of the restaurant.

He poured a cup of tea for Jiang Haoyue and asked him, "How much does your dad owe?"

"Uncle Lu..."

The young man's eyes were pale, looking in, it was terribly quiet.

"That's the loan shark he owes, and there's no reason for anyone else to pay it back for him. They beat him to death because they couldn't get the money. That's his own fault."

Lu Yongfei rubbed his aching temples.

"Then you don't want to tell me that you work in a restaurant. How long will it take you to pay back the money he owes?"

"I'm not working to pay off his loan sharks."

Jiang Haoyue said word by word, "I am earning living expenses for myself, as well as living expenses for my university."

Lu Yongfei was stunned, their family couldn't even take out the money... Jiang Yi really was a jerk without a bottom line.

As for university, it is indeed necessary to enter into the consideration of the child's future. In another semester, Jiang Haoyue is about to go through the legendary college entrance examination, "one test for life".

"You work part-time and are so influenced by your family. Can you get into an ideal university?"

"can."

Under the warm light of the food stall, his young face seemed to glow, Jiang Haoyue said loudly, "I'm going to the best university."

Lu Yongfei couldn't help being touched by him.

Seeing that he had gone through so many hardships along the way, he only remembered that he was an eighteen-year-old, disabled, half-eldest child from a rough family; but he accidentally forgot that he was Jiang Haoyue—his self-confidence was sufficient capital support.

Going to work in a restaurant is not what Lu Yongfei thinks is "mistaken and self-destructive", Jiang Haoyue has her own plans.

"There are scholarships and bursaries for going to school, and you can also get bonuses for participating in competitions. When I go to school, I don't work full-time like in the winter vacation. I only work part-time for a few hours after class. I have already thought about it. Nothing to worry about..."

"I'll pay."

Lu Yongfei interrupted him: "I will pay for your living expenses."

Jiang Haoyue shook his head: "No need for Uncle Lu, you have helped me a lot over the years, you don't have to worry about what happened back then..."

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. If you feel bad about taking the money, then I should lend you your right."

Lu Yongfei is a mature man with more life experience than him.

"Your method may be able to barely maintain your life, but it is still very hard and overloaded. Even if you can really balance your studies and part-time work, in case your body breaks down again due to fatigue, it will If you get injured at work, it's just the medical bill, have you ever thought about it?"

Jiang Haoyue couldn't deny it.

Lu Yongfei happened to see a red string on his wrist.

"Miao Miao made it up for you?"

Jiang Haoyue pulled up his sleeves and protected the safety rope: "Yes."

"She also made one for me."

Lu Yongfei happily pulled out his wallet and put it in the wallet's sandwich: "Her mother has it too."

In the photo slot of the wallet, there is a baby photo of Lu Miao. The little guy had only a few sparse strands of hair, and clenched her chubby little fists towards the camera.

The safety rope she made for Dad was placed under the photo, and he always carried it with him.

"I won't help you today. You continue to hide from Miao Miao. Sooner or later, she will find out. She will still come to me, make trouble with me, and ask me to help you."

He looked at Jiang Haoyue.

"In her heart, you are one of the family members."

Jiang Haoyue stared at Lu Miao's baby without blinking.

"I don't plan to remarry, Lu Miao has only one daughter in this life, and you are my son."

Lu Yongfei patted his shoulder.

"Xiao Jiang, listen to Uncle, you have to take my money."

Jiang Haoyue asked herself: Why don't you want to accept it? Obviously if you accept the money, life will be much easier, and the last time Aunt Fang gave him the red envelope. Why don't you want to take it?

After thinking about it, he wanted to understand: the money is not his, if you receive it, you will owe it.

To add another heavy debt to the debt he owes the Lu family, in that case... he will be further away from Lu Miao.

Chapter 48 Dreams
