Chapter 1246 Emotional Belonging

Xiaotong came back from Hainan and invited Zhao Aimin, whom he hadn't seen for many years, to have a Western meal together. Sitting at the dining table, they recalled the past and lamented the changes over the years. Xiaotong's eyes revealed an indescribable emotion and nostalgia, as if at this moment, he had found the long-lost emotional belonging.

At the same time, the relationship between Da Guo and Xiao Tong is also quietly growing. Their conversation was full of sweetness and romance, and their affection for each other grew stronger, as if the whole world had become better because of them.

Zhao Aimin's heart is full of responsibility and responsibility for the junior Xiao Leng. As an uncle, he is willing to provide help and guidance to the younger generation so that he can embark on the right path towards a better future.

However, tragedy in the family is approaching unknowingly. Daxue became ill due to overwork and was overly sad. He actually contracted leukemia and needed surgery. This news made Zhao Aimin and his family feel heartbroken. They tried their best to save Daxue's life. However, the fate was so cruel and unacceptable.

In front of Aihua's hospital bed, the family members gathered together, their eyes filled with helplessness and anxiety. Zhao Aimin held his sister's hand tightly, feeling an unspeakable sadness in his heart. He didn't want to see his sister leave him, but he couldn't stop the attack of the disease.

In order to find a glimmer of hope, Zhao Aimin sought medical advice everywhere, and even prayed to gods and Buddhas, hoping to find a miracle to cure Aihua. He desperately searched for remedies, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping to save his sister's life.

However, fate was so cruel that Snow finally left them. Xiaoshu stood beside the hospital bed, tears falling from her eyes. Her cries were full of helplessness and despair, as if the whole world was collapsing. Zhao Aimin's heart was as sharp as a knife. He felt the tremendous pain of losing his loved ones and could not bear the huge impact on his soul.

Zhao Aimin divided the 30,000 yuan left by Daxue into four parts, one to deal with the funeral, one to be deposited in the bank as a backup, one to be given to his parents, and one to be left for Aihua's treatment expenses. After dividing the money, he felt empty inside, as if he had lost everything, leaving only worries for his family and endless sadness.

At the same time, the behavior of the demolition company made him furious. They merged a three-bedroom apartment into a two-bedroom apartment without authorization. This unscrupulous violation of their family rights made Zhao Aimin feel angry and helpless. They were kicked out of their home. Faced with the pain of losing their home, Zhao Aimin was filled with anger and unwillingness.

Just when he thought life couldn't get any worse, he received shocking news: despite being just promoted to deputy section chief, he was declared honorably laid off. This sudden blow plunged him into unprecedented despair. He felt that everything was collapsing and there was no longer any hope in life.

Zhao Aimin walked on the street with a heavy heart, replaying in his mind the unreasonable behavior of the demolition company and the news that he had been laid off. He felt ruthlessly knocked down by life, as if all his beautiful illusions were shattered in an instant. Zhao Aimin tried to calm down by taking a walk in the park, but the irritability in his heart could not be dissipated.

Without telling Yun Fang, he walked alone in the bustling shopping mall, hoping to find some spiritual comfort. However, when he was eating the fragrant stinky tofu in the mall, he encountered the embarrassing situation of being scolded by the clerk and asked to leave. This unwarranted humiliation made him feel angry and helpless, and the frustration in his heart became even heavier.

He then tried to find a job near the station as a cement hauler. However, even for such a seemingly simple job, he showed incompetence and was ridiculed and criticized by his colleagues. Zhao Aimin felt as if he was worthless and every step in his life was full of difficulties and challenges, which plunged him into deep despair.

Zhao Aimin left the train station with a heavy heart. After being kicked out of the lounge by the police, he felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and was full of helplessness and disappointment in life. In this case, he hopes to relieve some family pressure through Xiaotong's help.

However, when he borrowed money from Xiaotong, he felt a little guilty. He felt that he had borrowed money from Xiaotong many times, and this time he caused trouble for him again. But in order for Yunfang to get his salary in time, he had no choice but to lend a helping hand to Xiaotong again.

At the same time, Li Muchao had a fierce quarrel with Aihua about having a son. Zhao Aimin felt dissatisfied and angry when he saw this. He stood up again and taught Li Muchao a lesson, telling him that he should respect Aihua's choice and not impose things that the other party was unwilling to accept because of his own selfishness. The lesson this time was not gentle, and Zhao Aimin's inner dissatisfaction and anger could be felt in almost every word.

Yunfang returned home depressed. She tried to hide her loss, but Zhao Aimin was keenly aware of her emotional changes. He walked up to Yunfang, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Yunfang, if you didn't do well in the exam, it doesn't mean you didn't work hard. You will do better next time."

Yunfang's eyes were a little red after hearing Zhao Aimin's comfort, but she tried her best to smile and nodded gratefully. Zhao Aimin was secretly proud of his sister's efforts.

At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Chairman Zheng stood at the door. After learning about the family's situation, he also showed deep concern and sympathy. Yunfang showed a surprised expression. She never thought of the fact that Zhang Damin had already been laid off.

At the same time, the relationship between Xiaotong and Daguo gradually changed, and they became a pair of lovers who never knew each other. With the help of Zhao Aimin, Xiaotong finally opened his heart and expressed his feelings to Daguo, and the two embraced happily.

However, the arrival of Gu San broke this happy atmosphere. He came to Shasha's shoe store to borrow money, but was firmly rejected by Shasha. Gu San left the shop angrily, while Shasha firmly guarded her principles.

Upon seeing this, Daguo felt a warmth surge in his heart. He decided to invite Xiaotong to watch a movie again. This time, they were able to get along with each other with equality and respect, and they were full of understanding and support for each other. This scene made Zhao Aimin feel a touch of warmth, and he felt gratified and satisfied with his efforts deep in his heart.

When Zhao Aimin heard the news that Chairman Zheng had also been laid off, his heart sank. He lamented the changes of the times and thought about how to deal with the next challenges. At the same time, he realized that the financial pressure on his family was now even heavier and he had to find a way out as soon as possible.
