Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

The youth seemed to have something to say to Tong Hua privately, but Zhong Ran was not very willing to let that happen. Tong Hua could see that he expressed no signs of maliciousness, and everyone around here were his men. There was no need for this little youth to harm Tong Hua.

“Zhong Ran, go inside. I’d like to speak to him in private.”

“Is that okay?”

“No problem!”

Zhong Ran was worried. He retreated but still stayed close enough such that he could get there in time if there was any danger.

Tong Hua asked, “What is it?”

“I didn’t do that on purpose,” the youth said.

“I did not take it to heart.”

The youth seemed to have some difficulty speaking up. “Someone in my family is sick. No money. They gave me money. Asked me to come here. I didn’t know that it is you.”

“Don’t take it to heart. Mommy and I are fine. I know you did not mean to.” Tong Hua replied. If he did it intentionally, he would not have asked Tong Hua to run. “I have to thank you. If it were not you, they would get another person to come anyway. But, they would not be nice enough to warn me. Who knows? Mommy and I could have been met with something even worse. So, don’t feel bad. It’s common to do things for the sake of money.”

The youth looked down, and his ears turned red.

Tong Hua said, “I’m more fortunate than you. I do things against my own morals too and not even for the sake of living. So, you are way better than me.”

“Really?”

“Really!”

“I-I’ll repay,” The youth said, stuttering. “Although I don’t have anything now, I will repay next time.”

“You don’t have to. I didn’t do much.”

The youth bowed deeply. “Bye!”

Tong Hua yelled at him. “Wait!”

Tong Hua’s heart softened. “Do you need help? Money, food… or maybe…”

The youth shook his head. “No, I will find my way.”

A one-time offer of help was but a drop in a bucket to them.

“I can give you a job,” Tong Hua said. “At least, you won’t starve.”

AG had a factory here. Gulas had always been in the Golden City too. Finding a job vacancy for him was no big issue. The youth was shocked, and he seemed to be hesitating on whether he should pick up the job. Tong Hua said calmly, “If I were you, I’d agree.”

“Thank you!”

Tong Hua asked Gulas to offer the youth a job. It was a really simple task. In the AG company here, even getting a job as a mover would be good.

After all, the unemployment rate here was way too high.

The labor wages were really cheap too.

This matter had finally come to a close. Tong Hua felt way better too. He felt as if he was fated to meet the youth. Since the first time they met, this was already their third time. Since they had fate, helping out was no big deal.

Shen Qianshu was really pleased with Tong Hua’s act of kindness. No matter what, anyone who tries their best to help another person was a good child. Her child had good moral values. If this was someone else, they might not have bothered about him or worse, they might have hated this youth.

It could be clearly seen that her son was very open-minded.

“Mommy, when are we going home?”

Tong Hua was starting to feel homesick. Indeed, they had been away from home for long. It was now when he noticed that no matter where he went, home was the best place!

“Soon.” Shen Qianshu was starting to feel a little homesick as well. This time, they had gone through a lot while abroad. It was like a nightmare, and this nightmare was finally coming to an end.
