Pei Xin gripped the envelope and note, looking at Annie’s back. With the new support, the flickering flame in her heart suddenly ignited into a giant blaze. She had hope again, the hope to fight on!

“Annie, why didn’t you just tell her that you helped her with the money?” The younger policewoman followed behind Annie. The rubbish on the ground made her extremely uncomfortable.

“She wouldn’t have taken it if it was from me,” said Annie. “We didn’t do our jobs well enough to protect people like her.”

The policewoman pursed her lips. “But you went against our leader and got punished for it. It’s not like you let her down.”

Annie stopped in her tracks and looked back at the young lady who had just joined the police force. She sighed in her heart. “But I still had to compromise. This goes against my professional philosophy. Besides, she needed help. Our job is to help others.”

The sunlight was shining just right. The policewoman looked at Annie in so much awe.

After Annie left, Pei Xin took out 2,000 dollars from the envelope and gave the rest to Ling Jin along with the phone number.

“Pei Xin, this is all yours. You can keep it for yourself. You can buy a phone and some new clothes.” Ling Jin looked at Pei Xin’s outdated clothes and couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

Pei Xin shook her head. “Clothes are for covering the body and keeping warm. It’s not like I don’t have any now, so I don’t need to buy new ones. As for the phone, I only need to contact you and Ling Lin. No one else needs me, so there’s no need to have one right now. I’ll consider it when I find a job.”

As she spoke, she pushed the money in her hand forward. “The family needs money now. You can go easy on yourself. Please don’t tire yourself out.”

After the incident with Sun Yue, Pei Xin was no longer desperate to find Ling Lin’s father. What if he turned out to be a jack*ss like Sun Yue? What if he was a terrible person like Lu Li?

Ling Jin was working overtime taking care of her and Ling Lin’s daily life. Moreover, her heart disease medicine was also a huge expense. Pei Xin could not put all the pressure on Ling Jin alone, so she wanted to find a job as soon as possible to help him share the burden.

Pei Xin hit a dead end again when she thought about finding a job. Before she went to prison, she lived a luxurious life and did not have to lift a single finger. When she went to prison, she didn’t manage to complete her university degree. She was not sure what type of job she could find.

“Hey, you have a lot of work experience. What kind of work do you think best suits me?” Pei Xin rubbed her hand to her neck.

Ling Jin thought about it seriously. Thinking about Pei Xin’s physical condition and her history. Then, he shook his head. “You don’t have to work. You just have to stay at home and take good care of Ling Lin. I can support the two of you on my own!”

Pei Xin didn’t expect Ling Jin to say that and quickly retorted.

“Don’t be stubborn. You have your own life to live as well. In the future, you’ll get married and have your own children to take care of. I can’t let you support me forever.”

Ling Jin’s hand paused and he lowered his head. He didn’t want his sister to see the tears in his eyes.

Once upon a time, when Ling Jin had a stable job, he actually had a fiance. They were even about to get married that year. Later on, the people he cared for went to prison one after another, and Pei Xin even left behind Ling Lin with him. Under such circumstances, no woman in the world was willing to marry him.

The girl’s family strongly opposed it, and the two eventually broke up after countless fights.

Ling Jin also had a grudge in his heart, but it wasn’t towards Pei Xin or Ling Lin. Instead, it was towards Ling Xue, the pressure he received from the Lu family, and his unfairness towards fate and the heavens.

“It’s okay. I just need you and Ling Lin in this life.”

Ling Jin tried his best to calm himself down, trying his best to stabilize his tone.

There were many things that Pei Xin didn’t know, such as Ling Jin’s love that ended without a cause. She was touched by the sacrifice of this brother whom she hadn’t known for many years, but she didn’t want to accept it with a clear conscience.

Ling Jin didn’t owe her anything. He shouldn’t spend his entire life supporting the mother and son.

In the end, Pei Xin and Ling Jin did not reach an agreement on the topic of finding a job.

After dinner, Ling Jin went to work at the construction site as usual. After Pei Xin cleaned up, she taught Ling Lin some vocabulary. After assigning some homework, she left home to look for a job.
