struggle in a small town

Chapter 87 Are You Treating Yourself Like This?
Zhang Xuejiao put her arms around Zuo Ting's shoulders, and persuaded her earnestly: "If he really has no relationship with his wife, but cannot divorce because of interests or children, then to him, you are just a tool to release pressure, a means to pursue excitement, and satisfy you." objects of selfish desire."

"If you really love someone, how can you not want to stay with her forever? How can you be willing to let her see the light?"

Zuo Ting cried even harder.

Zhang Xuejiao swallowed the rest of the words, for fear that she would not be able to bear the stimulation.

It took Zuo Ting a long time to sob and choke: "He bought me food and took me out to play. When talking to me, he spoke softly."

"I will also buy you food, I can also take you out to play, and I will pay you wages, why don't you treat me well?"

Zuo Ting raised her head in a daze: "What?"

"What's your size!" Zhang Xuejiao really hated iron and steel: "A little favor and little favor bought you? I'm so mad!"

"No one loved me since I was a child."

Zhang Xuejiao probably knew that Zuo Ting's family didn't care about her and asked her for money.

Now, from her weeping confession, I heard a vulgar and common story.

Like most patriarchal families, Zuo Ting has two older sisters, a younger sister and a younger brother.

From the number of children alone, we can see Zuo Ting's parents' desire for a boy.

Zuo Ting is caught in the middle, neither father nor mother nor love, life can be imagined.

If the country did not provide nine-year compulsory education, she might not have the opportunity to go to school at all.

Stumbled and stumbled, and finally finished junior high school, her parents kicked her into the society with only one requirement: work, earn money, and raise a younger brother.

In the past few years, Zuo Ting earned very little, and after handing in the share of confession to her parents, her life was very tight.

Since joining Zhang Xuejiao, Zuo Ting, who has more money and a better life, no longer worries about food and clothing, naturally expects someone to love her.

The family can't give her warmth, so she can only find it from the outside.

When she met a man who was willing to buy her things and take her out to play, even if he could only bring a faint warmth, she quickly sank into it.

Zhang Xuejiao felt distressed after hearing this.

She is also a woman, she lives under the protection of her parents, and it can be regarded as smooth sailing. When she was a child, she had nothing to do except worry about her test scores.

Later, when she entered the society, thanks to her insensitivity to emotions, she avoided many hidden pits in a daze.

Now with Lin Zhiyuan, it is estimated that on the road of love, one can see the end at a glance.

I really can't feel Zuo Ting's pain personally.

But she is willing to give her kindness: "Tingting, do you think I'm doing well?"

"it is good."

"How I live every day, have you seen it?"

"Ah."

Zhang Xuejiao took a deep breath and began to pour chicken soup for Zuo Ting: "I read a lot of books, I won't lie to you. Women must be self-reliant and self-reliant. With money in hand, after broadening your horizons, many temptations are in front of you. I can see the trap behind it."

"But I"

"Don't be so!" Zhang Xuejiao really felt that she was a master of chicken soup at the moment: "You are only 20 years old, and your life has just begun. As long as you are willing, it is not too late to start changing from now on."

Zuo Ting was silent.

Zhang Xuejiao patted her on the shoulder: "Go to the hospital for a reexamination tomorrow, make sure you've recovered, go to the office to work, and I'll teach you how to use a computer."

Zuo Ting nodded.

Zhang Xuejiao put down a big stone in her heart, and finally showed a smile: "We will have hot pot tonight, and I will go buy ingredients, and you can rest for a while."

"I can work."

"That's fine, you help peel some more garlic, and take care of the ginger and green onions by the way, I'll be right back."

After examination, Zuo Ting did recover.

Zhang Xuejiao didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart that it was different from what was shown on TV.

After leaving the hospital, Zuo Ting said that she hadn't returned to the rental house for a long time and wanted to go back.

Zhang Xuejiao went with her.

Only then did she know that there was a village in the city behind the row of exquisite facade houses opposite the Yuanyuan shopping mall.

This is the city center, and there is actually a village in the city.

The house that Zuo Ting rents is here, the area is only ten square meters, and it only costs 200 yuan a month.

There was only electricity in the house.

There is a pool in the yard, where washing and washing dishes are done.

Since the public toilet is still at the end of the alley, some lazy people will pour their night urine into the pool.

The weather is hot, and the smell is particularly refreshing.

Zhang Xuejiao used to rent a one-room apartment in Shanghai at worst. She has never lived in such a dilapidated place.

When she stepped into the hut, she made a decision in an instant. She wanted to pay for the girls to rent a house.

In any case, the community is safer than the village in the city.

Moreover, when the girls live together, they can take care of each other, so that no one will be cheated.

There is a bed in the room, with blue checked sheets, pink quilt, and flowery pillowcases.

Next to it was a dilapidated small table with a green thermos pot, a stainless steel kettle, and a water cup that was obviously a gift.

Other places were littered with little things, and there was a suitcase open on the floor, and balls of clothes thrown around.

Zhang Xuejiao's head hurts: "I send you so much money, and you treat yourself like this?"

Zuo Ting lowered her head and said nothing.

Zhang Xuejiao had a bad feeling in her heart: "You won't give flowers to that man, will you?"

Zuo Ting lowered her head.

Zhang Xuejiao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

She is not the type who only let men spend money, but Zuo Ting's situation is obviously not right.

It's too late to scold her now, and it will make her feel even more uncomfortable, forget it!
Zhang Xuejiao frowned and said, "Tingting, don't stay here, pack up and follow me back."

"But Miss Jiao, I can't live with you forever"

Of course Zhang Xuejiao knew, but the situation in front of her was more urgent.

"There are vacant rooms for rent in my neighborhood. I'll pay for it. You, Li Ping, and Tiantian, the three of you live together, it's better than here."

Zhang Xuejiao was so stubborn that she pulled Zuo Ting to pack up her things and asked the landlord to refund the rent.

Back in Dongfeng Luyuan, she made a phone call according to the small rental advertisement on the wall, and quickly settled on a house with three bedrooms and one living room.

Because on the 32nd floor, the top floor, there is only simple decoration in the house, and it only costs 700 yuan a month.

Zhang Xuejiao made an appointment with the homeowner and hung up the phone.

Turning her head, she looked at Zuo Ting: "A house with three bedrooms and one living room is only 700, which one do you think is the best deal?"

"I can't bear to spend 700 to rent a house."

Zhang Xuejiao really wanted to take a look at her head, was she willing to spend money on scum, and not be willing to treat herself well?

Alas, I don't know how long it will take to correct her mentality that she feels unworthy.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xuejiao met the owner and went to see the house together, only to find that the floor was laid and the walls were painted, and nothing was left.

The owner said he bought it for his son to marry, but the son married a foreign girl and never came back, so the house can only be left empty.

After some bargaining, Zhang Xuejiao cut the rent down to 600 per month at the cost of installing electrical appliances and buying furniture herself.

To be on the safe side, she signed a five-year lease contract with the landlord, and the liquidated damages were set at half a year's rent, for fear that the landlord would go back on his word.

Well, I learned this from Lin Zhiyuan.
