Wealthy Love

Chapter 8

Zhang Chi thought that he didn't get off the bus in City C, but arrived at the North Station of City C, the previous stop of City C, which is a suburb of City C.

If you take the bus, it takes about two hours to get to the city center.

Zhang Chi didn't want to go to the urban area, it would be difficult for her to find a job there.

Now she only has RMB 110, [-] and [-] cents. Not only does she need to find a place to live, but she must also not let herself be hungry until she finds a job and gets her wages.

When the purpose of one's life is only one mouth, everything becomes very simple.

Find a job, find a place to live, and be able to fill his stomach. These are Zhang Chi's goals in life now.

Zhang Chi searched for a whole morning, only to find that even in such a suburb, it was impossible to rent a place to live with the hundred yuan she had on her.She found a very dilapidated apartment with extremely poor conditions, and the rent was at least five hundred yuan a month, and the rent had to be paid first.

"I only have one hundred yuan with me, can I pay one hundred first, and then I will pay the rent to you when I find a job?" Zhang Chi wanted to plead to the proprietress, this is the cheapest place she has found now .

The proprietress looked at Zhang Chi and wanted to sigh softly, "Girl, it's not that I don't want to rent it to you, it's that I'm really in a hurry to use the money now. My son is going to college, so I'll live on this rent." The proprietress could tell that Zhang Chi Thinking about Zhang Chi's difficulties, but she also has her own difficulties.

Everyone has their own life, and everyone's life has its own twists and turns. Zhang Chi wants to understand that this is what she knows best during the three years in prison.

"That's it...that's bothering you..." Zhang Chi wanted to reveal endless disappointment in his eyes.

Just when Zhang Chi was about to turn around and leave, the proprietress suddenly stopped her: "Girl, I know there is a place that is very cheap, only 200 yuan a month... But, the conditions there..." The proprietress stopped talking.

Zhang Chi couldn't imagine that there was a place even simpler than this place.

Hearing what the proprietress said, Zhang Chi's eyes that were about to dim became bright again, "Really? It doesn't matter what kind of conditions...as long as you can live..."

In that iron house, she slept in the "bed" made of two wooden boards for a month. Zhang Chi wondered if there were any conditions that she could not adapt to.

The proprietress took out a piece of paper, wrote an address and handed it to Zhang Chixiang, "Go here and have a look."

Zhang Chi wanted to take over the address, with joy on his face. For her, what the proprietress did was like sending charcoal in a timely manner.

"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Chi wanted to say repeatedly.

The proprietress was not too excited, after all, the conditions there were not suitable for a woman like Zhang Chi. "Go and have a look before we talk."

Zhang Chi wanted to say goodbye to the proprietress, and went to find her according to the address.

This place is really hard to find.

Almost at the edge of the city.

When Zhang Chi wanted to find this place, it was already evening.

A few dilapidated one-story houses are rare in today's cities.If someone hadn't told her that this was the place, Zhang Chi would have thought it was an abandoned place.

Yes, it was originally an abandoned place.It is a corner forgotten by modern civilization.

Zhang Chi wanted to knock on the old iron door.

"Come in, don't knock!" A rough voice came from inside.

Zhang Chi wanted to push the door and walk in.There was a faucet in the courtyard, and four or five men in their 40s and [-]s, without shirts, were washing their faces and arms around it. Two men were sitting on a stone in the corner and playing chess, and three people were watching.

Seeing that it was a woman who came in, those people had a hint of surprise on their faces.

"Excuse me, is there still a room for rent here?" Zhang Chi wanted to ask timidly.

The men in the yard looked at Zhang Chi and thought, one of them shouted into the house: "Landlord, someone is renting a house!" The voice was so loud that it seemed to shake the house down.

After a while, an old man in his 60s and [-]s came out of the house, and a man who was washing his face pointed at her, "Landlord, here is a renter, a woman..."

The uncle looked Zhang Chi up and down and thought, "Girl, are you renting a house?"

"Yes, sir."

"I have another one here... Come and take a look, okay..."

It turned out that the so-called rented place was a warehouse in front of the house, only about [-] square meters, but the small rooms were separated by thin composite boards, and there was the rented place.

Not even a door, just a curtain.

Each room is less than four square meters and has only one bed.To be precise, what she rented was just a bed.

The people living here are all temporary migrant workers working in this city.

"How much does it cost here?" Zhang Chi wanted to ask.

"Two hundred yuan a month, water, use the faucet in the yard."

"Master... can I pay one hundred yuan first...the one hundred, after I find a job..."

"Okay." Before Zhang Chi wanted to finish, the uncle agreed.

The old man had seen such things a lot, he knew that Zhang Chi thought he was really in trouble.It is very difficult for the people who live here.

The old man also understood that if it wasn't for lack of money, a woman like Zhang Chi Xiang would not have found such a place.

"Thank you uncle."

"Those people in the yard, although they are all rough and uneducated, they are not bad people...you don't have to worry..."

"I see……"

Suddenly the old man seemed to have remembered something, and said to Zhang Chi, "Girl, it may be inconvenient for you to live here... I still have a place where the girl can live alone... I can only charge Half the money... except there's no water or electricity..."

Is there any place cheaper than here?
"Where is it?" Zhang Chi wanted to ask.

"It's a warehouse for old things, come and take a look with me."

It was an old warehouse, about 10 minutes away from here. It was full of waste and old sundries, but there was a bed made of wooden boards inside.

"Girl, can you look here? I'll charge you half of the money, and the other half will be counted as your fee for taking care of the warehouse... Although this place is far away, it's very safe..."

"Okay...Master, I'll just live here..."

Zhang Chi wanted to take out the only one-hundred-yuan bill and hand it to the old man, but the old man looked at it and didn't answer it, "Girl, pay at the end of each month... I'll get you a quilt Come……"

Zhang Chi wanted to take a look at this place full of sundries, but her heart was full of excitement. She finally found a place where she could settle down. Tomorrow, she would go out to find a job again, as long as she could fill her stomach. ...
