?Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Would Someone Help Decide on This Matter?   Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Would Someone Help Decide on This Matter?                                   Nowadays, with both his parents gone, only he was left all alone. If the boy in front of him was taken away by his family, he would once again be a solitary person.


    “The woman who gave birth to me would rather see me dead; they won’te looking for me. Even if someone does think of me because of our blood ties, I wouldn’t follow them.”


    Feng Yi’s gaze grew colder and more detached: “I’ve already severed ties with that family, and I will never return in my lifetime!”


    “As long as you don’t leave, you can stay at my house as long as you like.”


    The tension eased, and Mo Yan changed the subject: “Scavenging isn’t reliable; we need to think of another way to make a living.”


    Currently, recycling stations were under governmental control, and even if they wanted to collect scrap, without a government-issued permit, those who had trash wouldn’t dare sell it to them.


    Not to mention, with the recent scarcity of materials, how many households would casually throw away their discarded items for them to pick up?


    As for the asional bits of scrap metal and misceneous items he had previously found, he actually sneaked into abandoned factory buildings to scrounge them up behind everyone’s back.


    When selling to the recycling station, the transactions were also done quietly and sneakily, likemitting a theft.


    Otherwise, once discovered, they would certainly face severe consequences.


    “Factories aren’t easy to get into.” Feng Yi thought for a while and said, “Every job has its candidate. To be a worker, one either needs a recruitment slot or connections, and for connections, you also need money to clear the way.”


    Mo Yan: “I know.”


    Feng Yi: “Aunt used to have a job; why didn’t you take over her position?”


    “My mom was seriously ill, and we didn’t have money for her treatment, so… I sold my mom’s job.”


    As soon as Mo Yan said this, he noticed the surprised look Feng Yi gave him. He red, “What, do you think I did the wrong thing?”


    Feng Yi: “Not exactly, I just think you’re killing the goose thatys the golden eggs.”


    “In that situation, nothing was more important than my mom’s life.”


    “But do you regret it now?”


    Mo Yan became agitated and stared intensely at Feng Yi: “No, I don’t regret it, and I never will.”


    “You… don’t stare at me like that; I misspoke. How about we try going to the countryside? At least we’d have something to eat.”


    Upon hearing this suggestion from Feng Yi, Mo Yan seriously considered it. After a moment, he looked at Feng Yi, “With your physique, don’t exhaust yourself before earning a few work points.”


    Feng Yi blushed: “I am sturdy enough! Besides,pared to me, you’re just as skinny as a rake.”


    Mo Yan didn’t respond.


    Feng Yi huffed and said, “I’ll ask Sister Kang Liter; she can help us figure things out.”


    “Will she even bother to advise on this matter?”


    Mo Yan threw cold water on Feng Yi’s idea.


    “If I say she will, she will. Sister Kang Li is a kind person, otherwise she wouldn’t be helping us like this today.”


    “Hearing you say this, I feel like we might be trouble she rescued.”


    “Do you think of yourself as trouble? I don’t. Anyway… anyway, we already owe Sister Kang Li a lot, and we could owe a bit more until we’re able to repay her slowlyter.”


    The two youths talked back and forth about Kang Li and their future livelihood while in the hospital room, and sparks of tension began to surround them.


    In the courtyard, after having lunch at the Song Family, Kang Li and Mrs. Qi were sitting on a couch, coincidentally talking about the two youths, Feng Yi and Mo Yan.


    “How did that kid, Feng Yi, end up going to such a distant ce in the suburbs?”
