forced to obey

It was almost ten o'clock when Xu Sheng arrived home, Xu Lin was sitting at the table reading a book, when he saw him coming in, he immediately went up to meet him, "Brother, why are you back so late today?"

Some time ago, when the summer vacation was coming to an end, the workload of the restaurant decreased a lot, and Xu Sheng usually got home by nine o'clock.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lin smelled the smell of alcohol on Xu Sheng's body, and raised his voice: "Brother, have you been drinking?"

It was the first time Xu Sheng drank alcohol. Although he had only drunk two bottles, he was already a little tipsy. At this moment, he smirked: "I just drank a little."

Seeing that he was unstable, Xu Lin quickly supported him to sit on the sofa.

Xu Sheng couldn't sit still, and lay down straight, muttering: "I'm really not drunk, I just walked for a long time, I need to rest... rest."

Xu Lin remembered the scene when his mother took care of his father, went to the kitchen and poured a glass of warm water, and twisted a wet towel to wipe Xu Sheng's face.

"Xiaolin." Xu Sheng grabbed his hand and sat up with his strength, and looked at him with bright eyes because of drunkenness: "I, I won't go to the restaurant anymore, I got a raise."

Although the words were a bit out of line, Xu Lin understood: "Brother, have you changed your job?"

"Yeah." Xu Sheng nodded vigorously and grinned: "The salary is high, high..."

"What are you doing?" Xu Lin hurriedly asked.

Xu Sheng answered honestly, "I worked part-time on the construction site, I paid it back, and I also worshiped a master, old, old..."

Xu Sheng's mind was getting more and more chaotic, and he couldn't think of a name.

"Brother, change your job." Even if he had never been there, Xu Lin knew how tiring and dangerous it was to work on a construction site.

"No." Xu Sheng slowly shook his head, lay down on the sofa again, and said to himself with one arm on his forehead, "I want to make money, I want to support Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin still needs to go to college, and I want to start a family. I'm going to make a lot of money..."

Xu Lin's eyes turned red in an instant, his lips trembled slightly, and he controlled himself not to cry, before he spoke after a while, "Brother, I don't need that much money, I will earn a scholarship by myself."

However, Xu Sheng had already fallen asleep and did not reply.

Xu Lin continued to wipe Xu Sheng's face and hands, stared at his face for a while, and finally called out, "Brother."

After going to the construction site for a few days, Xu Sheng fully understood that what you pay for is what you pay for. The money is a little more, but it is several times more tiring than a restaurant.

Especially Qiu Huhu in Yuncheng hadn't left yet, Xu Sheng was sweating profusely every day, and his whole body was going to collapse.

But even so, Xu Sheng never complained about suffering or being tired, even when other adults complained, he didn't say a word.

Seeing that Xu Sheng was thin and weak, Lao Wang sometimes wanted to help him, but Xu Sheng declined.Lao Wang nodded secretly, thinking that this kid Xu Sheng can endure hardships and be responsible, and if he succeeds in the future, he must be a talent.

In less than a month, Xu Sheng had lost a lot of weight visibly to the naked eye, and his skin had turned darker a lot. People in the compound shook their heads while chatting in private. A child without parents is indeed suffering.But even though Xu Sheng was an adopted son, he still had a conscience and didn't ignore Xu Lin.

Seeing Xu Sheng's appearance, Xu Lin's heart ached so badly that he went straight to the vegetable market every afternoon after school, and then rushed home to cook soup, eat some green vegetables by himself, and leave all the meat for Xu Sheng.

After the National Day, the weather began to cool down and became unpredictable, with frequent rain.

When it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, there was another heavy rain, and the work on the construction site could not be started. Xu Sheng couldn't stop for a while, and remembered that Xu Lin didn't bring an umbrella when he went out in the morning, so he told Lao Wang and said it himself. Go to school to pick up Xu Lin from school.
