Chapter 43 - Quit Your Jobs (2/2)
”She is fine, just tired. Let her rest more, she will wake up when she has enough sleep.” Mo Xi stopped the lady who was about to wake Su An An up to see if she was alright.
The lady looked at Mo Xi, then looked at Su An An and decided to listen to Mo Xi as Su An An's face had a look of tiredness.
”Were you the one who sent my daughter here?” The man asked.
”Yes.”
”Thank you! What is your name?” The lady said while she cried out.
”No need to thank me, my name is Mo Xi.”
”Do you know what happened?” The man asked sternly once again, however, one could still see the worries he had for Su An An in his eyes.
”She accidentally poured coffee onto another student's dress.”
Mo Xi didn't want to explain further as she knew that they would understand what happened.
”How much does the dress cost?” The lady asked hurriedly.
”Don't worry, it was a fake dress. They are probably being punished by the Principal right now.”
”Is that true? That's great!”
”Mm. She might need to stay in the hospital for a few days.”
Upon hearing that, their faces turned into another look of worry.
”I will go see how much it is… If the proposal I submitted today passes, we should be able to afford the bills…” The man said to his wife while patting his wife's hands.
”Mm. If it is not enough, I will just take up another job.” The woman said with a resolute voice.
Mo Xi observed the two people quietly while they were talking and hearing that the woman wanted to take up another job, Mo Xi picked up the woman's hand and felt her pulse.
The woman was shocked to see that Mo Xi held her hand suddenly and wanted to retract, but Mo Xi's grip was stronger, hence she couldn't. As Mo Xi expected, her pulse was extremely weak. It was a result of exhaustion and malnutrition probably from having too much work.
After a few moments, Mo Xi put down her hand and said, ”You can't take up any more work. At this rate, you will die of exhaustion in a week.”
”What?!” The man was shocked to hear that.
”What are you working as now? And, for how long?” Mo Xi asked the woman.
”I work as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant in the day and a cleaner in a hotel at night. I have been working there for two years. Previously, I work in the same company as him.”
”What about you?” Mo Xi asked the man.
”I work at the public relation department in an entertainment company in the day and driver at night. I have been working in the company for five years.”
Hearing that, Mo Xi picked up the man's hand to feel his pulse. The man's pulse was extremely weak as well. However, because he was a man, the effects weren't as visible as the woman.
”Education level?”
”We both graduated from Capital Media University.”
Mo Xi was slightly stunned by that as the amount they should be earning for graduating from Capital Media University should be very high.
”How much do you all earn in a day for the jobs?”
The two of them were puzzled by Mo Xi's question but they answered instinctively because Mo Xi had an extremely cold aura around her.
”We earn about fifty dollars a day on average.”
Hearing this, Mo Xi's face turned even colder. The amount the couple was earning was much lesser than the amount they should have obtained from the work they were doing.
”Quit your jobs.”
