Man in thirties

Chapter 4 A Bud

Then he understood and shook his head hurriedly, "No, no. I don't want it."

Of course it was a lie. But in the face of a pregnant woman, he was not so bad.

"I'll use my hand." She whispered.

"No, no, no, no, I'm afraid that there will be an accident."

"Oh."

"Go to sleep. I'm really fine."

"Honey, if you need it, don't hold it in your heart. I can help you with my hand."

"OK, OK... I'm a little tired these days. Wait, wait two days. I'll tell you if I want it."

"Yes."

Seeing that Josie did not insist, David secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His real age was only 16. His palm was full of sweat and his back was soaked in sweat.

The next day, David got up early and went outside to buy a nutritious breakfast, egg, porridge and steamed buns with meat stuffing. He forced Josie to finish it.

With yesterday's change, Josie sincerely felt that he began to change and ate her breakfast happily. She was rarely cheerful.

When Josie left, David cleaned up the house, turned around and saw neatly folded clothes at the head of the bed.

Strange and awkward, he put on the suit. David took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

"It's strange that you come out." Jessie looked up and down at David and mocked.

At the thought of her mockery yesterday, David was a little embarrassed, but he forced a strong smile and said, "Jessie, please forgive me. From now on, I'll change. Don't mention the previous things. I'll invite you to a meal another day!"

Josie was slightly surprised,

she gave a cynical smile and said, "OK, I'm waiting for your treat."

According to the information found last night, David went directly to the nearest talent hostel to see if he could find some work which was paid by day. Even if he needed to do hard manual work, as long as he could get the money, he could accept it.

When he came to the talent hostel, he knew that manual work was not so easy.

These work needed either skilled welders or masons who could paint. Occasionally, some work had no requirement for skills, but these hardworking manual workers got it.

David was in a suit, which had become an obstacle to his application.

No one on the construction site would consider him.

"No one wear a suit on the construction site." Someone sneered.

All day, David was looking for a job.

In addition to the talent hostel, he also went to several other labor markets and human resources centers.

But in addition to seeing all kinds of ricks, he got nothing.

Only then did he know that the world of adults was so difficult.

At the thought of the landlord's urging and Josie's growing belly, David was burning with anxiety.

He searched the address book blankly to see if there were any people he knew. But he was surprised to find that there was no contact information of his parents in the whole mobile phone address book.

It seemed that the owner’s parents were still alive from his talk with Josie. Why didn’t he even have his parents' phone numbers?

He was addicted to games and he and his parents no longer contacted each other?

Thinking of this guess, David couldn't help smiling bitterly and shaking his head, If so, this scum would really deserve to die.

Passing by a restaurant which had the good smell of food, David subconsciously touched his belly, then thought of Josie who was pregnant, turned and walked in.

In the evening, Josie came home from overtime. Her expression changed when she saw the food bought by David on the table.

Before Josie said anything, David interrupted her, "You are in urgent need of nutrition now. No matter how hard life is, you and the kid can't suffer. If you are good, I can be at ease."

Josie had to be silent and ate the food he bought for her carefully.

The two ate silently, but no one spoke.

David didn't know what to say, but Josie had something in mind and was struggling and hesitating.

After a while, she finally put down her chopsticks and said,

"David, I asked a friend who is a doctor today. She said that when the child is seven months old, I should go to the hospital for examination at least once a month. When giving birth, I may have to prepare some money for emergency..."

David paused and he said softly, "Don't worry. I'll find a way."

He had no job and he and Josie needed to eat. After Josie gave birth to the kid, there would be more living expenses... All these were like a big stone and pressed heavily on his chest, making him out of breath.

After making an excuse, he got up and went to the bathroom, looking blankly for the call records on his mobile phone.

He found that there were call records with the remark "Tim Garcia", who he called the most frequent except Josie.

According to common sense, this should be his best friend.

After a little hesitation, he called Tim.

The phone was soon connected, and then a man's voice came,

"David, you finally think of me. How are you recently?"

"Tim, I'm in trouble." David rubbed his forehead and didn't know how to speak.

The man's voice immediately became serious, "What's the matter?"

Taking a deep breath, David hesitated and said, "Can you... Lend me some money?"

"How much?"

David was pleasantly surprised by his straightforwardness. There was still someone who was willing to help him!

"Ten thousand is OK!"

There was a brief silence, followed by some suppressed quarrels, and then the phone was hung up.

David was a little stunned. Although he couldn't hear clearly what the quarrel was, it wasn't difficult to guess.

That was something that could happen in every family.

He was hesitating whether to all her again. He found that his phone screen was on and Tim sent a text message with several words,

"Send me the account number."

This message made David relaxed. Anyway, the most difficult part at present had finally been dealt with.

He was about to edit the text message. Josie's voice sounded outside, "Are you looking for Tim again?"

"Again?" Tim was stunned, and had a bad feeling.

Was it...

Josie looked at him with a slight reproach look and said softly, "Tim's daughter, who was diagnosed with leukemia six months ago, has been living in the hospital waiting for bone marrow transplantation. She has to get examination and test every day for treatment. He almost has out no money. You're still asking him for help at this time... Alas. You didn't return the 20000 you borrowed from him last time..."

David couldn't hear Josie's following words clearly. He sat there dejectedly, looking at the short message. He wanted to cry and laugh: What bad things did they do in their last life and would meet such a bastard as me.

Finally, David still didn't reply to the message.

He couldn’t be that bad.

Fortunately, it was still more than two months before Josie gave birth. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t even find a job for such a long time.

After finishing everything, David turned on the computer again and looked for job information on the recruitment website.

His daytime experience made him understand that direct employment of some companies was much better than the tricks of intermediaries.

At least he didn’t need to pay money in vain.

After looking for a long time, he finally found a recruitment advertisement from XH Investment.

The position was also a very simple clerk, which did not require too much work experience and education background. Although the salary was lower, David felt that the success rate was relatively high.

In short, the work was finalized first, and the future development could also be planned slowly.

He worked on the resume until midnight and finally finished it.

He sent an email and made an appointment for the interview. Everything seemed to be going well.

This relieved David. Seeing Josie who had already fallen asleep, he clenched his fist secretly:

Now that I have become your husband, I will try my best to make you live a good life.

Early the next morning, David found the XH Investment Company he applied for according to the address.

Looking at the tall investment building and white-collar workers going around, David took a deep breath and walked in.

"Hello, sir. How can I help you?"

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a job."

"Please go this way and wait in conference hall 3."

"Thank you."

Following the instructions, David came to hall 3.

There were fifty or sixty people sitting in such a big hall. They were all here to apply for the job.

David immediately felt that it was not likely for him to get the job!

Could he defeat so many people?!
