CHAPTER 18: CHAPTER 18: TWISTS AND TURNS OF THE HEART

Lin Ye asked this mainly because he thought, since he accepted their salary, he definitely needed to help them work.

In fact, Jiang Xin had saved his life.

If just now, when he jumped into the river, Jiang Xin hadn’t pulled him up, he would have been dead, gone to meet his late mother.

After Jiang Xin’s enlightening words, he suddenly realized, a miserable life is better than a glorious death.

Only by living well can he make those who abandoned him regret it!

Besides, Jiang Xin trusts him so much, he must not betray her trust.

Jiang Xin offered him a job opportunity, a favor he could never repay.

As a big man, although he had nothing else, he had strength; moving goods was a piece of cake for him!

So, upon hearing Jiang Xin saying she wanted to move the goods herself, he volunteered to help her move them.

With him around, why make the boss do manual labor?

Originally, Jiang Xin hadn’t thought much about it, she wanted to move the goods herself for no other reason.

The items she sold at the market all came from space.

Therefore, when she transported materials from space, it had to be when no one else was around, only then did she dare to take them out.

If Lin Ye was present at that time, how could she proceed?

Although Jiang Xin thought Lin Ye was reliable, it didn’t mean she wanted him to know about the space.

In this unfamiliar era, the only one she could trust was herself.

Currently, she dared not take any risks.

So, upon hearing Lin Ye’s proposal, Jiang Xin decisively refused:

"No need, you just wait at the market entrance for me, when I arrive you can help me move the goods, your main duty is to sell them, you don’t need to worry about anything else."

Anyway, she would operate the goods out of space only after arriving near the market.

In this way, it wouldn’t take much effort.

Perhaps, after earning enough money, she could rent a warehouse near the market to store the goods.

Earn enough money?

Jiang Xin’s head buzzed, how did she become stupid after crossing through the world once?

She was someone with savings now.

She had just counted the savings of the original owner this morning, how could she forget in such a short time!

Using that money to rent a warehouse was a piece of cake!

Currently, she was rich!

Jiang Xin immediately decided to investigate near the market after finishing her handover with Lin Ye tomorrow morning!

If she found something suitable, she would sign for it.

Lin Ye saw Jiang Xin reject his proposal, though not fully understanding, he knew in his heart, it’s better to ask fewer questions about his boss’s affairs.

The employment relationship between him and Jiang Xin was simple; he worked for money and followed commands.

No need for more words, he couldn’t risk annoying the boss.

Lin Ye quickly adapted to his role as a worker.

He nodded and glanced at the sky, which had turned so dark you couldn’t see shadows.

Recalling Jiang Xin’s words that her family required her home before dark.

The time he delayed because of saving him had led to the darkness.

Lin Ye opened his mouth, very meticulously confirming with Jiang Xin the time:

"Nine o’clock tomorrow morning, right?"

Jiang Xin nodded in agreement:

"Yes, it’s nine o’clock."

After confirming the time, Lin Ye suggested leaving:

"It’s getting late, let’s part ways here then."

"I’ll find you at the market tomorrow morning."

Originally, Lin Ye intended to propose walking Jiang Xin to her doorstep.

After all, she was a girl, and it was unsafe to walk home late at night; he didn’t know the situation at Jiang Xin’s home.

He only felt that her family required her home before dark, likely due to concern for her safety.

But this idea lasted only a moment before he dismissed it.

No matter how, he was a man, in the dark walking with Jiang Xin, a young girl, it wasn’t very appropriate.

He had been married and understood how important a girl’s reputation was in this era.

When he dated his ex-wife, he couldn’t help but hold hands and ended up being the subject of gossip, calling his ex-wife shameless and learning to seduce men at a young age.

Those words were as vicious as can be.

Not only that, they spread extravagantly, he still found it hard to talk about to this day.

Moreover, he was raised by a woman after his father passed away early, so he respected and admired women especially.

His mother was a great mother.

So when hearing those rumors, he particularly felt injustice for the era’s treatment of women.

Even though he initiated the handholding with his ex-wife before marriage, the accusations were directed at her.

Why not scold him?

Because he was male?

So he could evade criticism.

He had fought back but had no effect.

How ironic!

So when he briefly considered walking Jiang Xin home, memories from years ago surfaced.

The thought was immediately dismissed from his mind.

To avoid causing Jiang Xin trouble, he decided against it.

Anyway, they already reached the village entrance, where no strangers would enter at this time, it was quite safe.

Besides, being midsummer, every household left windows and doors wide open to catch the breeze, and it was refreshingly cool when the wind blew through.

If anything were to happen, just a shout would bring the whole village out.

So there was no real need to worry about Jiang Xin’s safety.

He thought too much.

Jiang Xin nodded in agreement.

It was indeed late, she still didn’t know what she would face when returning to the Fu Family.

After saying goodbye to Lin Ye, she turned towards the direction of the Fu Family.

Jiang Xin couldn’t have known that just while Lin Ye was talking to her, his mind was turning over so much.

If Jiang Xin knew Lin Ye was worried about her safety.

She would certainly laugh.

It’s a joke; she was the one who had slain the zombie king in the apocalyptic world before, whoever dared to mess with her, she could blow up their house!

Jiang Xin walked along the village path towards the Fu Family.

On the way, she took out the walnut shortbread and pork shoulder she had initially planned to give to Fu Yu’s parents from space again.

Upon reaching the Fu Family yard, she glanced inside the house, it was silent.

Someone unknowing might think Fu Yu’s parents had long gone to bed.
