Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 25: Subjugating Lai San

Lai San looked at the 10 yuan in his hand, and felt indescribably touched. Since his parents passed away, his life has changed. His family lost its mainstay. He felt the warmth and coldness of human nature, and also knew that money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat.

During this period, he lived with his sister alone, which put him under great pressure both physically and mentally. But at this moment, he cried, and he thought that his life had turned around.

He thought to himself: I, Lai San, am a loyal man. If brother Wang Li is really good to me and loyal in the future, I will sell my life to him. This is the truest thought in the heart of an impulsive young man.

After returning home relaxed, Wang Li went to his father's room first, reported to him that he was safe, and briefly told his father what had happened.

His father was also very satisfied with his arrangement: "Then let's see how he performs. After all, such a large recycling station needs someone to help if it gets busy."

The next day, after practicing martial arts with his father, he just opened the door and saw a man squatting in front of the door. When the man turned around, he found out it was Lai San.

Wang Li asked: You came so early, why didn’t you knock on the door?
Lai San replied: I'm afraid of disturbing my boss's rest, it's okay for me to wait for a while.

Wang Li retorted: "What do you mean by boss or not? We are also working for the government. If there is a chance in the future, we will also let you have connections with us and let you eat a public meal."

Lai San was so excited after hearing this that he didn't even open his mouth to say thank you.

Wang Li asked: "Did you have breakfast this morning? If not, let's have a bite together."

Lai San said: I had a quick bite at home, arranged for my sister to stay at my neighbor's house, and then I came here.

Wang Li invited: Then have another bite, don’t be polite, just treat it like your own home.

When Lai San entered the room and saw Wang Li's father and mother, he said very respectfully: Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry for yesterday.

Wang Li's father said: "It's okay, children don't know much, you are still young and should work hard. Now is a new society and you will always have a meal." Lai San saw that Wang Li's father did not discriminate against him, and he was even more moved.

After dinner, Wang Li's father began to arrange the work, which he had discussed with Wang Li during martial arts practice this morning. Lai Sanxian was responsible for sorting and transporting the collected waste, while Wang Li's father continued to be responsible for weighing and paying.

Afterwards, Wang Li and his father took Lai San to introduce the situation of the courtyard house, and emphasized that the back house would be used to store items that were difficult to preserve and were afraid of wind and rain, and other sundries would be piled up in the second courtyard and the garden in different categories.

Lai San's salary is temporarily set at 20 yuan for the probation period, which will increase to 25 yuan after three months. If his performance is good, there will be certain rewards. After all, he is a temporary worker now, and his salary is provided by the father and son of the Wang family. When he really joins the company in the future, he will earn a fixed salary from the government.

After Lai San came to work, Wang Li's father felt more relaxed. Lai San also worked very hard, was conscientious and responsible, and never complained. He did not have any bad behavior, so the Wang family was more relieved about him.

Therefore, when Lai San's younger sister had no one to take care of her, Lai San took her to work at the Siheyuan purchasing station, and Wang Li's mother helped take care of Lai Xiaomei.

Maybe Lai Xiaomei had poor living conditions since she was a child. After she moved to Wang Li's house, she stopped crying and became very obedient and easy to take care of, which made Wang Li's mother like this little girl more. She also said: Oh, this child is just like Wang Li, she has been easy to take care of since she was a child and makes people worry less.

All these touched Lai San's heart even more. He silently remembered this kindness, integrated into the Wang family, and felt a sense of belonging to this courtyard. From then on, he sincerely and steadily followed the Wang family to do things.

When facing various temptations and tests in the society, he was still able to be loyal to the Wang family and serve the Wang family wholeheartedly. The Wang family did not treat him badly, and he became one of the rich people in Longguo after the reform and opening up.

His sister was also well arranged, which meant that Lai San used his loyalty to change the fate of himself and his sister. This can be regarded as a matter of course.

Thanks for the recommendation and collection. I wish you all good luck.
