67.69 Her unspeakable secret

She looked at me and shook her head, and I realized that she must have something difficult to say, and maybe it was inconvenient to tell her. [ ] I did not continue to ask, and wanted to wait until I found a suitable opportunity to ask more clearly.

One day during the lunch break, I chatted with her in the office and talked about her family situation. She said that her family situation was not good. During the four years of college, she earned her tuition through work-study studies. She worked four part-time jobs in a row and never worked on weekends.

Never rested.

Hearing about her hardship, I felt sad. Children from poor families have already taken charge of the family and shouldered the burden of the family prematurely.

At work, I try my best to take care of her and prevent her from working too hard. I don’t know why, but I still see her looking very tired, with fatigue written all over her face.

I asked her: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

She said: "It's nothing, it doesn't matter."

I said: "If you are very tired, just rest and I will give you a few days off."

"It's really okay."

"Don't tire yourself out."

I observed her later and found that she always hurried out after get off work. That day, after get off work, I followed her in my car and saw her entering a restaurant.

I followed closely into the restaurant, and the waiter immediately came up to me and asked, "Sir, who are you?"

Following the waiter, I entered the back room and saw the kitchen of the restaurant behind me. The chefs and workers were all busy. Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure in the crowd, washing dishes there. I took a closer look.

, isn’t it Jiang Yan?

"Jiang Yan, why are you here?"

"Ah? Director Bai..."

"I came here to eat, but I didn't expect to see you!" I said this deliberately because I was afraid that she would be embarrassed.

"When did you get here?"

"It's been more than half a year."

"Can you come out for a moment?" I asked her.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

She wiped the water on her hands and came out. When she got to a corner, I asked her: "Why are you here washing dishes?"

She said: "I work part-time here."

"Why?"

"Both my parents are in poor health, my father has a protruding waist and shoulders, and my mother has a heart disease. I have been delayed until now because I have no money. I want to make some money and treat my parents as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's okay. As long as my parents' illnesses can be cured, I'm not afraid of them no matter how hard or tiring they are!"

Looking at her thin figure, I felt sad and my nose was a little sore. What a good girl. Can she bear such exertion? If she couldn't hold on and fell down, that would be bad. Thinking of this, I decided to let her
