Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 279 This Dad is Yours 4

"Let's pinky swear, whoever goes back on their word is a little dog."

"Okay, whoever goes back on their word is a little dog." Father Jiang said affectionately, making a pinky promise with Jiang He.

"I didn't sleep in today. I went to school by myself. I'm a brave big kid now. From today on, I'm going to go to school by myself."

“Our Xiaohe is so amazing, she can go to school by herself.”

Father Jiang and Jiang He chatted happily.

Jiang Mu was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

A heartwarming scene of a family of three.

"Dinner is ready."

Jiang Mu brought the last dish to the table.

"Xiao He, let's go eat first."

Mr. Jiang's phone rang.

Mr. Jiang did not take out his phone to look.

He had been busy all day and was starving.

Have a nice meal with your family.

They must have been terrified when I left in such a hurry last night.

Mr. Jiang still remembers that when he returned, Mrs. Jiang had a relieved expression on her face when she saw him.

She lived in constant fear at home.

The three of them sat down at the dining table.

Jiang's father's phone kept ringing with messages.

Jiang's mother asked worriedly, "Someone is looking for you, are you alright?"

Mr. Jiang took out his phone, saw the message, and frowned.

Messages kept coming in during that time.

"Has something happened?"

Jiang's mother put down her chopsticks with concern.

The messages kept coming in, and Mr. Jiang's expression remained solemn.

Could it be that something bad has happened again?

Jiang's father did not reply to the message.

I put my phone away.

"It's nothing serious, let's eat."

Father Jiang picked up his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Jiang's mother nodded and put a piece of fish on Jiang's father's plate.

I specifically chose fish with boneless meat from the belly.

"You've worked hard, eat more."

"Xiao He, you eat too."

Jiang's mother put a chicken leg in Jiang He's bowl.

Jiang He picked up another chicken leg and placed it in Jiang Mu's bowl.

"Mom, you eat too."

"You've worked hard too."

Father Jiang picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks and put it in Mother Jiang's bowl.

A happy smile appeared on Jiang's mother's face.

The family of three looked at each other and smiled.

"Ring ring, ring ring..."

Jiang's father's phone rang.

Mr. Jiang picked up his phone and saw that the number was...

Who called?

Seeing that Mr. Jiang wasn't answering, Mrs. Jiang asked him why.

"You guys eat first, I'll take this call."

Mr. Jiang took his phone and went into the room, closing the door behind him.

Jiang's mother watched as Jiang's father closed the door.

Is it because you don't want her to hear what was said on the phone?

Is the matter still unresolved?

So you don't want her to worry?

Jiang Mu immediately lost her appetite.

"Mother."

Jiang He looked at her mother.

Jiang's mother came to her senses.

"Xiaohe, you eat quickly. Dad needs to take a call. You eat first, have the chicken leg."

Jiang's mother smiled at Jiang He.

Jiang He is still here; she can't let Xiao He worry or be scared.

"Mom, let's eat chicken legs together."

Jiang He picked up the chicken leg and looked at her mother expectantly.

"Okay, let's eat together."

Jiang's mother nodded and picked up the chicken leg from the bowl.

"Then let's make chicken drumsticks."

The two were eating chicken legs.

Although Jiang's mother didn't have much of an appetite, she ate the chicken leg with the same gusto as Jiang He.

When Mr. Jiang hung up the phone and opened the door, he saw his mother and daughter eating chicken legs.

Upon seeing the message "I'm sorry..." sent to his phone, Mr. Jiang suddenly felt sorry for the other person.

They might be in their cold, quiet homes at this moment, weeping bitterly.

Mr. Jiang picked up his phone and replied.

"I'll come over and take a look later."

Father Jiang came out.

"I have some things to take care of, so I need to go out. You guys eat first, don't wait for me. I'll just grab something to eat outside."

I realized that driving there would take an hour round trip.

An hour later, the food was long gone.

Mr. Jiang simply said he would eat something outside.

Otherwise, Jiang's mother might wait for him to come back before eating.

"What happened? I'm worried, can you tell me?"

Jiang's mother was a little scared.

Last night, Mr. Jiang left in the middle of the night and didn't return until the afternoon.

I'd only rested for a few hours when another phone call came in, and I had to go out again.

I don't know how long it will be before I come back this time.

Jiang's mother was genuinely worried.

I don't know what exactly happened at the construction site.

After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Jiang pulled Mrs. Jiang into the room.

"Last night, an accident occurred at the construction site. A worker fell from a height and was rushed to the hospital, but he could not be saved."

Someone died on the construction site, and there are many things to deal with.

The worker's family also needs to be taken care of.

I'm the contractor, so I can't just ignore everything.

But don't worry, I'll be fine.

I will go see the family members later, and I will try my best to make it up to them.

Try to calm Xiaohe down. Once I've completely resolved this, I'll take her to the amusement park.

When Jiang's mother heard about the big incident at the construction site, she was also quite frightened.

I also feel sorry for the worker's family.

They definitely need to be comforted.

The pillar of the family is gone. They have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. They are all pitiful people.

Jiang's mother hugged Jiang's father and told him that she would take good care of the family and Jiang He.

Tell him to relax at home and focus on handling things outside.

If the worker's family is in dire financial straits, they will try to provide as much compensation as possible.

"I won't tell Xiaohe later. Don't let Xiaohe know about these things. You can coax her later."

"I know, go in peace."

Mr. Jiang hugged Mrs. Jiang, changed his clothes, and left.

"Mom, is Dad coming back?"

"Xiaohe, of course Daddy will come back. Daddy just has some things to take care of."

Dad will be back when he's done with his work.

Jiang's mother held Jiang He in her arms.

"Is Dad going on another business trip?"

"Ah, yes, Daddy has to go on a business trip, so he's been quite busy lately. Xiaohe is a big girl now, she can understand Daddy, right?"

"I understand. I'm a big kid now, and I can stay with Mom too."

"Okay, then let's wait for Dad to come back together."

Jiang's father originally only planned to go there to take a look.

Julie kept messaging him, and he understood.

The man died, leaving behind a daughter.

Life had to go on, and they had no other source of income, so they naturally clung to him tightly, afraid that he would run away and not provide compensation.

He was willing to give them more compensation.

The original plan was to discuss this matter properly during the day tomorrow.

But they were really worried, so he came over tonight to have a proper talk with them about compensation.

The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner both sides can feel at ease.

However, Mr. Jiang did not expect that Zhu Li's current place was so simple; they lived in a basement.

This basement is only about 20 square meters in size.

The family of three lived in such a small space.

It can be said that the three of them eat, drink, and relieve themselves all within this small 20-square-meter space.
