Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Success

If Luo Qiao were here, he would have to clap and praise him, but it’s a pity that they don’t even consider how hard it is to find a job.

Luo Bin is only fifteen years old this year; which family would let such a young kid start an apprenticeship? Don’t they know how lazy the children they raised themselves are? If they really wanted to be good to them, they wouldn’t have left their biological parents so resolutely.

Upon hearing Luo Bin’s words, Zhao Pulin and Gao Suhua felt a bit conflicted. There wasn’t much money at home to begin with, and just a few days ago, they had even made a loss. If it was too much, they really couldn’t afford it.

But they still harbored the hope of having an adopted child to support them in their old age, after all, they had genuinely loved and cared for the child for over a decade. Suddenly, they found themselves in a difficult situation.

Zhao Pulin asked, "How much money is needed to arrange everything properly?"

Luo Bin clenched his fist, brought it to his mouth, and coughed lightly to conceal the nervousness in his heart: "At least one hundred yuan. After entering the factory, the monthly salary is eighteen yuan, along with some coupons.

After three years and becoming a regular worker, the salary will be twenty-six yuan, and one can apply for welfare housing."

Upon hearing that the monthly salary was eighteen yuan, Gao Suhua got excited, thinking that it would take less than a year to earn back the money given as a gift.

Still, Zhao Pulin was more cautious, "But if we don’t let your biological parents know, it won’t be right. What if, in the future, they adamantly deny that they received the money from us and refuse to let you take care of us? Wouldn’t that be a waste?"

Luo Bin didn’t know what to say for a moment, but this time Gao Suhua came up with a solution: "We can have our son write us a receipt, clearly stating the purpose, and get the brigade cadres to witness it. Surely, they can’t refuse to acknowledge that."

Zhao Pulin thought it was a good idea as well. Having the brigade cadres as witnesses would make the Luo Family unable to take the credit without shame. The more he thought about it, the better he liked the idea.

So, without enough funds at home, they borrowed another forty yuan from their neighbors, not even discussing it with Zhao Changlin or the daughters in their family.

They directly had Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang and Zhang Dezheng, who had just returned from the hospital, to witness it. To be extra safe, Gao Suhua also insisted on having the brigade’s official stamp on it.

The Brigade Leader and the Party Secretary were originally against using the brigade’s official stamp, but Gao Su persisted, and Zhang Dezheng was already frustrated due to the hospitalization incident involving Gao Shunyi, so he wasn’t interested in meddling with Zhao Family’s affairs.

Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang said, "Aren’t you going to follow up on this in the city? This isn’t a small amount of money; if something goes wrong, there will be nowhere to cry."

Gao Suhua said, "There’s no need to go. Not only are we unfamiliar with the city, but we’d also have to take a vehicle, which isn’t cheap. We trust him."

The conversation ended there; after all, this was someone else’s family matter, and the brigade cadres didn’t want to interfere too much.

Hence, after staying in Qingshan Village for two days, Luo Bin happily took the early bus back to the city on the third day.

Gao Suhua excitedly told everyone she met that Luo Bin had found an apprenticeship in the city, and after three years of training, he would become a regular worker. She said that they had not raised their son in vain and that he would support them in their old age.

When Luo Bin returned, the villagers crowded around the Zhao Family for a long time. Gao Suhua’s excitement upon Luo Bin’s return sparked a lot of gossip in the village.

At the same time, they learned that after returning to the city with his biological parents, Zhao Guibao had changed his name to Luo Bin. Although the villagers weren’t used to the new name, those who knew about it started using it.

A woman, after listening to Gao Suhua, voiced her opinion: "Don’t be too happy too soon. The boy has even changed his name; if you are still counting on him to come back to support you in old age, you might be getting deceived."
