Chapter 458: Just call me Sister Yaoyao like Wenwen does!
The agreed time was two days later. Tong Yao thought that Jian Jun and Liu Sanwa would arrive on time, or perhaps a little later.
To her surprise, they were already waiting at the entrance when she arrived at the milk tea shop the next day.
They were still in the same dirty and tattered clothes they had on the day before, although their hands and faces were exceptionally clean. They seemed nervous when Tong Yao approached.
"Why did you guys come so early?" Tong Yao found it strange, wondering if the money she gave them was insufficient for Jian Jun to get his leg injury examined.
She cast her gaze on Jian Jun’s leg, "Jian Jun, have you had your leg checked?"
"I have." Jian Jun hastily nodded, his hands awkwardly clutching onto his clothing, "My leg injury hasn’t reached the bone, it was an external wound. They applied an anti-inflammatory medication, it’ll be better in a few days. Sanwa and I discussed it, we have nowhere else to go, we thought we’d start work at the breeding farm today. Do you think that would be okay?"
Jian Jun and Liu Sanwa had no one to rely on and no place to live. They were sleeping under the bridge and surviving day by day.
The spring and autumn seasons were still manageable. But summer was unbearable, with the mosquitoes and sweltering heat, it felt like being roasted alive. And winter was akin to falling into an ice cave, the cold penetrating so deep into the bones that even piles of straw offered little warmth.
It was a miracle that Tong Yao was willing to hire them, and the salary was so substantial that they barely slept that night due to excitement. They were afraid that they might wake up to find it all a dream.
Only when they arrived at their place of work, would they feel at ease.
