Elder Sister Xiao Ya, it's better if you don't go out when you're free. Most of the people on our street are from hell, and a small portion of them are attracted by the magnetic field here, or by some Warlocks or Taoists. Xiao Ya looked at me worriedly.

As expected, this should be one of the most difficult tests the heavens have brought me!

"It's fine. I just need to be a bit more careful."

I said this with a hollow laugh. I didn't know if this sentence was said for Min Min or for myself. In any case, regardless of the difficulty or the suffering, it had only been ten years. Ten years passed quickly!

In the evening, I looked at the money in my phone and sighed deeply. What should I do? I only have 22 yuan in my bank account now, and there's still about half a month before I get my salary.

My family lives in the countryside, and most of the people there don't have much knowledge. In addition, they also have a serious patriarchal mindset, but fortunately, my honest father and my valiant mother didn't care about this. My grandfather was an intellectual, and believed that knowledge could change a person's life, so he insisted on sending me and my brother to school.

Grandfather was a Warlock at that time, and he helped others look after their money as well as took care of some matters related to their funeral. Although we didn't receive a lot of money every time, there were still a lot of things that happened every day. Every day we came and went, and we earned a very objective income.

However, when I was ten years old, my grandfather suddenly died at home. Without the family's greatest source of income, the living conditions in my house plummeted. Originally, everyone was supporting my brother to go to school so that I could earn money, but I will always remember that night when my brother hid from my family and left school. He took a hoe and went to work the next day.

After all, it was different from my grandfather's time. University students were everywhere nowadays, and even if you had a high diploma, you still wouldn't be able to compete with them and leave. Originally, I wanted to take the postgraduate exam, but my mom told me that my brother had gotten married, so the money for the house and the betrothal gift were all problems.

Just as I was looking at my savings and sighing, my cell phone suddenly rang. I was so shocked that I nearly rolled out of bed.

When I saw that it was my mother on the screen, I quickly picked up the phone.

"Hey!" Mom, didn't I buy you a phone? You can call me with your phone, but you don't need to walk so far away from the Village Chief to call me! " I looked at the phone and saw that it was a landline number.

There are no mobile phones in the countryside, and only the village chief's house has a phone. However, it has to be at least several miles away from my home. Every time my mother thinks I have to walk that long a road, I feel sorry for her.

"It's alright, Ya Ya. This National Day, are you coming home? "Mom misses you."

Who doesn't want to go home? But my house is really too far away from B City. I have to pay the train ticket back in the hundreds of dollars, which is equivalent to the cost of my family's food for a month.

"Mom, I'll go back when it's New Year. I'm here to earn money, so I'll go back when I earn a bit more."

"Xiao Ya, come back and take a look …" "Your brother might not be able to make it soon …" As his mother spoke, she began to sob.

I was stunned for a moment. Was I mistaken in suspecting that I had misheard him? Brother, you're going to die soon? But I remember I called my brother not long ago, and his voice was full of life...

"Mom, what did you say? My brother …"

"Mm …" Not long ago, your brother went to the reservoir with a group of people to catch fish. He wanted to sell some money so that you wouldn't have to work so hard, but he drowned. The doctor also came to see him, saying that your brother might be out of breath for too long and might become a vegetable … "

"How can this be! Mom, don't be in such a hurry. I'll be back now, I'll be back now! "

I only found out now that something big had happened at home! My brother could actually become a vegetable! I can't imagine!

Without a word, I left my bed and went to find Feng Chuan. I went to his room and knocked on the door. I only dared to enter when I heard a response from inside.

"Boss, can I take a leave of absence!" As soon as I entered, I spoke directly to Feng Chuan, who was sitting at the window reading a book.

Hearing my voice, Feng Chuan raised his head and looked at me indifferently. "Why?"

"Something happened at my house, I want to take a leave of absence!"

"Alright." There was no sign of movement on his face. After Feng Chuan finished speaking, he lowered his head.

However, I hesitated. I don't have much money on me right now, so even if I go home now, what's the use? Without money, it means that my brother won't be able to receive good treatment.

Seeing that I was standing hesitantly in his room, Feng Jianxue lifted his head and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"..." "Boss, can I prepay my monthly salary?"

"Sure, you can go to Old Wen later to get the money."

I was elated. I didn't think that Feng Chuan would agree to my request so easily. This was really out of my expectations. I immediately thanked him profusely before walking out of Feng Chuan's room.

Fortunately, Grandpa Wen was a person that was easy to find. It wasn't in the main hall of the shop, but in the kitchen. After I found Grandpa Wen, I immediately told him that I wanted to advance the salary as well as the matter of taking a leave of absence.

However, I didn't expect that Grandpa Wen would furrow his brows when he heard of this matter. This made my heart race.

"What's wrong, Grandpa Wen? Is it a bit difficult to suddenly ask for ten thousand yuan?" I looked at him in disappointment.

Grandpa Wen shook his head. "It's not really a matter of money. Don't you know that because the National Day is approaching, many train tickets and high-speed rail tickets have already been sold out. You are a step too late."
