The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 960

Soon, John had someone arrange the chairs outside the workers’ quarters for everyone to sit down. Then, Sophia

caringly asked them whether they were happy and used to the job. In response, the workers nodded and replied,

“We have a stable job here, unlike our hometown, where we had to stay home during the winter.

Besides, we make a lot more with our current job. Apart from that, there is nothing much we can spend on other

than a few bottles of beer since the rules around here have made our lifestyle more disciplined and frugal.

Furthermore, we’re given gifts during every festive season, which we think is a lot better than working in our

hometown.”

Upon hearing their feedback, Sophia heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Buddy said, “There are a few ladies

from my village who are asking whether there are any more vacancies left by chance. If there are, they’d like to

come over.”

Unable to decide, Sophia shifted her gaze to John, who answered, “Well, the kitchen could use some extra hands, so

perhaps you could bring this matter to your supervisor’s attention. If he says yes, that’s your green light to bring

your people here.”

Buddy happily smiled and said, “Wow! Sophia, you’re really our lucky star! Our life wouldn’t be so much better if it

weren’t for you.”

Feeling touched, Sophia answered, “It’s the least I could do to repay everyone’s kindness.”

Back then, the villagers would help out when they saw Sophia and her grandfather busy handling their crops.

Because of that, their kindness had since etched in their minds in the years to come. Meanwhile, Buddy gazed at

Sophia and said, “I heard your dad returned to the village after all of us left. I was even told that he wants to sell

the house.”

Sophia responded with a smile. “That’s up to him. I don’t really care anyway.”

Upon hearing Sophia’s reply, the others didn’t seem to look happy

“Well, he should have at least considered what the others would think about his decision before going about it. That

ungrateful b*stard had better pray no one blows his deal when someone wants to buy that house.” In fact, Sophia

couldn’t care less about Walter’s deal to sell the house since she had decided to put the matter behind her and

move on. He can have the house all he wants. I’m not planning to go back there anyway since it’s empty. Walter

wants a better life, so just let him be! After all, cutting ties with him is all that matters to me. John held Sophia’s

hand and placed it in his palm. “Just let things play out the way they will. After all, there is really nothing much he

can do either. Look at him now! He is so poor that he needs to desperately sell the house for cash.” Buddy sighed

and said, “I heard he’s been having a tough life recently. Some of us said they’ve seen him working at the

construction site.” While John had previously found out that Walter had been struggling to make ends meet, Sophia

curled her lips and answered, “I don’t care how much struggle he is having in his life because what I care about is

how well you guys are living.” Putting her point that way, she managed to distract everyone and change the

subject. Meanwhile, the rest of the people began thinking about making more money for the sake of their future

and their children. After chatting for more than an hour, Sophia and John decided to make a move since everyone

else still had work to do. As they got into the car, Sophia sentimentally opined, “I’ve never had a smile on each and

every one of their faces before. You have no idea how it’s like to live with uncertainty back in my hometown, where

people have to suffer because they can’t put food on the table. Who would have thought that the luxury of talking

about the future together would turn into reality today?”
