CHAPTER 1068: CHAPTER 1068: HITTING A WALL

In the evening, Bai Na met An Zhiyuan, who immediately decided to tell Bai Xiao about Bai Na’s situation.

He resolved the work issue for Bai Na.

Bai Xiao was surprised that An Zhiyuan would bother with such matters.

Her second brother liked to meddle in her affairs, but other people’s matters were not something he typically involved himself in.

"You! I still don’t know what you’re thinking, but you have ideas, you said letting Bai Na make clothes is not impossible; it’s just you haven’t considered the practical situation. Bai Na’s language barrier is tricky; both of us struggle to understand her. Those Modu people’s tongues twist in such a way that nobody can understand them. Besides, this is Modu.

Bai Na is a country girl, inexperienced. Are you sure the clothes she makes can keep up with Modu’s fashion? She is not like Liu Hong, who has some education! She adapts well, and with your family’s help, she accepts things quickly too.

But Bai Na, you’ve seen it yourself, is illiterate, struggles with language, and has a child. Don’t unintentionally cause trouble; we also have many jobs for family members back home. Departments like logistics always need people. As long as Bai Na doesn’t nitpick, finding a job for her isn’t a problem."

An Zhiyuan feared that Bai Xiao might get into trouble because of this. If Bai Na’s business doesn’t go well, it’s not just about losing money; she might face blame. People’s hearts are unpredictable, and he feared Bai Xiao could be disappointed in the future.

He also worried Bai Na might start off too high, and if she encountered setbacks, resentment might easily build. Starting with some setbacks could refine her character in the future.

"What can be done then?"

Bai Xiao also felt she was being excessive. Though she knew the future direction of national policy development for decades, she couldn’t possibly train everyone into billionaires.

That would truly become like a golden touch, turning stone into gold.

That would be tempting.

"These days, let Bai Na go and face some setbacks by herself first. Only by experiencing setbacks can she learn to cherish. I’ll go and ask around. After all, she has a child, and it’s not very convenient for work. She needs to find a suitable job."

An Zhiyuan cuddled his wife to sleep to prevent her from overthinking.

"I’m going to work tomorrow!"

Bai Xiao told An Zhiyuan in a murmur, their vacation was finally coming to an end.

Last night, Yu Feixue had already called, saying their aunt’s surgery was very successful, and both grandparents had gone to the hospital.

Although Yu Shaoyan hadn’t come out yet, Bai Xiao wasn’t worried; it should happen in the next couple of days.

This time, Yu Feixue had truly grown up, taking good care of her mother and firmly driving away their aunt’s family.

The main concern was that the two uncles were still persistent, trying to persuade Yu Feixue and the aunt to report Yu Shaoyan.

Bai Xiao suspected someone was instigating behind the scenes. After all, Yu Shaoyan’s blemishes had been cleared, and both Wang Ruo’an and Shang Kaiwen might be anxious. They thought attacking from within would work. If Yu Shaoyan had any slight issues, who could know better than his own family, especially his wife and daughter?

Yu Shaoyan probably never guarded against his wife and daughter, which was the best point for attack.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know how resolute the aunt and Yu Feixue were. Because of this, Bai Xiao felt strongly that the Yu family’s moral character was noble. What kind of parents would raise such children?

Yu Feixue was cheerful and warm, with a righteous heart, quite resembling her uncle Yu Shaoyan.

"Be mentally prepared, I’m afraid you might be implicated because of your uncle’s matter. If someone gives you a hard time, just leave. We’re not official employees of Ruiyin Hospital, no need to endure their attitude. Remember you’re the hospital’s chief physician; your position doesn’t allow them to disrespect you. We don’t need to suffer anyone’s anger." An Zhiyuan worried Bai Xiao might be bullied.

"What are you afraid of? Who dares bully me? Have you forgotten I have mentors and senior brothers? They’re not materialistic people; with their protection, who would dare bully me? But my internship is ending, and I have to return to hospital work. Why do I feel my life is always wandering without a place to settle? Another new colleague! A new beginning."

She leaned close to An Zhiyuan’s chin, hugging his neck and complaining. The weather was too hot; squeezed together, they were uncomfortable. But An Zhiyuan had already installed air conditioning and fans at home.

The air conditioning wasn’t for the heat; it was installed because Bai Xiao was always cold.

However, the elders said summer here is hard to bear.

As soon as it started now, they were already sweating profusely. Installing air conditioning indeed proved to be a wise decision.

"Xiaoxiao, since you can’t sleep, let’s do something else."

"Hmm, second brother... you..."

The night passed without words.

In the following days, Bai Xiao took Bai Na to the labor market. Without taking her out, this girl wouldn’t reach the labor market.

Bai Xiao sent her there and went to work. Fortunately, Bai Na was smart enough to find her way back home.

However, as expected by An Zhiyuan, Bai Na faced rejection at the labor market for three days without finding work. People heard her speak, saw her with a child, and immediately waved their hands, saying no.

She even thought of a way, trying to find a job as a mover.

But as soon as people saw the child in her arms and her skinny figure, they waved their hands and shook their heads continuously.

After several days of setbacks, Bai Na felt disheartened.

For days, even eating didn’t taste good.

Sometimes, she would have just a few bites and stop eating.

It’s not that the food here wasn’t delicious. At home, she barely had enough to eat, while here, there was fine grain and meat and fish every time. Yet, the more she ate, the harder it was to swallow.

Staying at Dr. Bai’s place without paying, and being treated to such good food.

She thought she would quickly find work, move out, and repay Dr. Bai in time. No one expected Dr. Bai to be right.

It’s no wonder the villagers didn’t like working in the city, as it barely brought any advantages.

As soon as she opened her mouth, people were visibly displeased, repeatedly saying things she couldn’t understand.

The gibberish those people spat out was incomprehensible to her.

The imagined ways to make money simply didn’t work.

They imagined the city was beautified, thinking money was everywhere, and doing anything would earn it.

In reality, it’s not even as good as their village. At least when they plant grain in the village, they have food, while here, money is needed for everything daily.

Just watching Dr. Bai go to the market daily to buy groceries, she felt so heartbroken she wished she could keep her mouth shut and never eat again.

Living at Dr. Bai’s place, spending her money, Bai Na decided on the fifth day to return.

She made up her mind not to burden others here anymore.
