Scumbag Handbook

"I said in case, not sure," Grandma Yang refused to admit it, then glanced at the room where Yang Lixin was, and said in a low voice, "Third Uncle, do you think you can talk about it?"

After all, this job is really good, close to home, and I get off work on time. What if the new job requires overtime or something?

She has heard that most of these places where martial arts are practiced are at night.

"When the third uncle and aunt found out about this back then, they were a little unhappy." Grandpa Yang shook his head, "This time there is probably nothing to do. If Ding Lan doesn't take the initiative to leave, believe it or not, the third uncle and aunt will leave tomorrow." Came to the door to make it clear?"

"That's so embarrassing," Grandma Yang frowned subconsciously.

"So Ding Lan said that if she quit, she should quit. Later, you and her will go to the third uncle's house, and I will watch the child at home."

"understood."

Ding Lan called there first, then bought some supplements, and went there with Grandma Yang. When she came out, Grandma Yang asked her.

"Just that girl who looks to be in her early twenties?"

Grandma Yang talked about the girl she met just now.

Ding Lan nodded.

"Yes."

Seeing her silence, Grandma Yang sighed, "How is Yang Jun?"

"...go out drinking every day and barely see anyone."

Ding Lan twitched the corner of her mouth and turned back.

Grandma Yang didn't know what to say. After Ding Lan and Grandma Yang separated, she went home directly. There was no one in the house. After taking a shower, Ding Lan went back to her room and sat in front of Yang Lixin's desk in a daze.

After thinking about it carefully, Teacher Xiao's work really moved her heart, so let's try it. What she was afraid of was that she hadn't done it before, and Teacher Xiao would be embarrassed to let her go.

So I sent a message to Xiao Le, saying that I want to practice for a month.

Xiao Le will recover naturally.

Just as she was about to put down the phone, Mother Ding called. After the daily greetings, Mother Ding asked about Yang Jun's work situation.

Ding Lan told the truth.

Mother Ding seemed to have something to say, but she didn't know how to say it.

Ding Lan who noticed it asked, "Is there anything else?"

"...Your sister is in her third year of college. Their school is arranging an internship. She doesn't want to find a job through the school's recruitment fair. I want her to live with you and find a job along the way."

Before Ding Lan could speak, Ding's mother hurriedly said, "I was still thinking, since there is a sister-in-law at home, it would be difficult for Yang Jun to do anything, right? You can live in peace."

"Yang Jun, who has been drinking, doesn't care if there are outsiders in the house." Ding Lan looked at the night sky outside the window, feeling so powerless, "Mom, I don't even dare to keep Lixin at home now. He wants to go to his mother-in-law I live there, and I don’t have a job anymore, and I’m looking for it now, I can’t help with my sister’s affairs.”

"Hey, as long as he finds a job and thinks about it, he won't do it again. Man, if you are unhappy, you should talk back less, and naturally it won't happen."

Mother Ding's words made Ding Lan extremely irritable, and after saying a few words, she hung up the phone.

"How about it?"

Father Ding asked.

Ding's mother put down her phone and told about Ding Lan's situation. Ding's father frowned.

"Her job was given by her relatives. I told you not to go at the beginning, but you didn't listen. Now they want you to go, so you have to go."

"She didn't agree with Ding Mei's matter. I think Yang Jun is going too far. She is afraid that something will happen to Ding Mei in the past..."

Speaking of the youngest daughter, the two began to worry about each other's work again.

Regarding the eldest daughter who was subjected to domestic violence, even her grandson did not dare to continue to live at home, but they felt that the matter was not as serious and urgent as the younger daughter's work.

Ding Lan also discovered this.

She fell asleep.

When Cheng Mo sent Yang Jun back in the middle of the night, she still had her eyes open, picked up her phone and checked, it was a quarter past three.

this late.

Ding Lan turned over and let out a long sigh.

The next morning, I went directly to the martial arts gym. She was received by a woman with long hair. She first introduced the job content and requirements to her, and then talked about the salary of the intern and the salary after becoming a regular.

"Is the internship period only one month?"

Ding Lan also pricked up his ears when he heard the two women who had just been recruited ask questions in a low voice.

"Yes, so you must work hard. Although the internship is only for one month, it is decided in this month whether you can stay or not. Okay, let's go to work."

I thought that the newly opened martial arts gym had no business, but I didn't expect that there were nearly a hundred people holding the martial arts leaflets in the morning.

And most of them are women.

One-third wanted to learn by themselves, and two-thirds wanted to enroll for their daughters.

Looking at the recorded list and information, Ding Lan was surprised to find that there were 86 members.

At noon, the staff ate in the small cafeteria of the Wuguan. The taste was good, and Ding Lan couldn't help eating half a bowl of rice.

There are no fewer people coming in the afternoon than in the morning.

Ding Lan, who got busy, temporarily forgot those troubles. At 05:30 in the afternoon, Ding Lan wanted to pack up her things and leave, but she didn't want Xiao Le to come.

"Skipping dinner?"

Ding Lan was taken aback, "Meals are also included in the evening?"

"Of course," Xiao Le was also taken aback, then pointed to the second floor with a smile, "After all, there is an adult class from 06:30 to 08:30 in the evening."

Ding Lan followed Xiao Le to dinner, and wanted to stay and continue working, but Xiao Le looked at her and the other two newcomers with a puzzled expression, "Why don't you get off work?"

"...Didn't you say you have classes in the evening?"

One of them wondered.

"It's fine for us to be here for the evening class, you don't have to be busy," the long-haired woman smiled.

Her name is Chen Yan, she is a martial arts master and the head coach of the martial arts gym.

Ding Lan followed her off work in a daze, and when she went to see Yang Lixin, Grandma Yang invited her to eat, and she said she had already eaten.

"The company provides two meals," Ding Lan replied.

"That's not bad. Tomorrow is Saturday. Can I take Lixin there to have fun?"

Grandma Yang asked.

"Yes," Ding Lan nodded. When she was about to get off work, Xiao Le specifically said that if the children had nothing to do tomorrow, they could come and play.

Grandma Yang actually wanted to see her working environment and that male friend.

When she went to the martial arts gym the next day, Grandma Yang found out that the male friend was actually her grandson's class teacher, and he was very young, several years behind Ding Lan, and also good-looking.

Grandma Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but became worried again.

Looking at Ding Lan who sent Yang Lixin back in the evening, she hesitated for a while, then said, "This is an acquaintance again, and Lixin's class teacher, if I let you go..."

"Let's talk about the future. I can't find a suitable job now." Ding Lan is in a very good mood today. "Besides, Lixin likes it very much. Not only did he exercise, but he also made friends, right?"

"Yes," Yang Lixin nodded, and called out the names of those little girls with an excited smile on his face.

When Ding Lan saw him laughing, she laughed too.

Seeing this, Grandma Yang stopped talking.

When Ding Lan returned home, he still had to pass by the martial arts gym. Xiao Le went to buy a barbecue again, and happened to meet him at the door, "Let's have some together?"

"No," Ding Lan was really embarrassed to eat.

"It's okay anyway, go follow and practice?"

Xiao Le laughed again.

This moved Ding Lan's heart, she didn't want to go back to that cold home at all.

So he accepted Xiao Le's suggestion, went to the second floor, chose a corner and practiced clumsily.

It was already 07:30 when she came, and it was only 08:30 when the class ended. For an hour, Ding Lan felt that she couldn't breathe.

"Are you all right?"

Chen Yan smiled and brought her warm water.

"Thank you," Ding Lan tried to calm his breath. After drinking some water, his dry throat felt better. "Salt water?"

"Well, it's your first time exercising so much, it's better to drink some salt water."

Chen Yan and Ding Lan sat and chatted for a while, and after Ding Lan recovered, they locked the door and left together.

At this time, Yang Jun was still drinking outside, and Mo Cheng accompanied him.

"This time is the happiest time for me!"

Yang Jun was still expressing his recent feelings there, and Mo Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, "I have a lot of credit for this, right?"

"That's it," Yang Jun laughed loudly, and touched his growing beer belly, "To be friends with you, I have accumulated virtue in my previous life."

"I'm ashamed to say that," Mo Cheng pointed to the night snack shop they ate at, "I opened this shop, and there's not much money to eat and drink."

"You own this store?"

Yang Jun was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the supper shop they come to every day belongs to Mo Cheng's.

"Brother, I also want to live. I must have a job, even though I'm a shopkeeper," Mo Cheng said with a smile while eating peanuts.

"It's very, very good."

Yang Jun also couldn't tell how he felt now, anyway, it was just... not very happy.

At first, he thought that the other party was a vagrant like himself, eating, drinking and having fun every day was not a serious business, but it turned out that he was the one who opened this night snack shop with such a good business.

Just the diners I saw during this period of time, the income of this store cannot be less.

"Drink," Mo Cheng told him to continue.

"Oh," Yang Jun took a sip of beer numbly, looked at the family of three eating crayfish together, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't spent a good time with his wife and children during this time.

He scratched his head, feeling that he didn't want to continue drinking with Mo Cheng, and left with the child on the pretext of going home this weekend.

Mo Cheng waited for him to leave for a while before following him.

Ding Lan didn't expect Yang Jun to come back so early, she opened the door and looked at Yang Jun suspiciously.

Seeing her expression, Yang Jun was inexplicably annoyed, "What are you looking at? I can't come back by myself today?"

"Oh."

Ding Lan replied perfunctorily.

"Where is Lixin?"

Seeing that there were no cartoons in the living room and no shadow of children, Yang Jun frowned and said.

"I'm going to my parents'." Ding Lan didn't want to quarrel with him, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I'm not full, give me a bowl of egg noodles with more noodles."

After lying on the sofa like an uncle, he said in a commanding tone.

Ding Lan endured the anger and slapped him.

Staring at Yang Jun who was eating noodles, Ding Lan told herself silently that she couldn't beat him now and could only bear with it.

After Yang Jun noticed her unkind eyes, he immediately became angry, and when he was about to slap her a few times, the doorbell rang.

Ding Lan quickly opened the door.

"Sister-in-law, I'm looking for Brother Yang."

Smiling Mo Cheng stood at the door, and said to Yang Jun, who was still angry, "Brother Yang, my friend has a job and asked if you are interested. If so, let's go out and talk in my shop."
