Helen, who came back from the interview, stood outside her home and waited for a while. After the people from the second-hand recycling company left, she sighed and asked her father, "What did we lose this time?"

The old man standing on the withered yellow lawn was her father. The withered yellow lawn they stepped on had not been changed for more than half a year.

Originally, the community had specifically talked to them. If they could not afford the money to replace the lawns that had turned yellow, the community company could lend them part of the money first.

In the Federation, except for those low-end and unpopular communities, mid- to high-end communities have very strict requirements for residents. It does not mean that if you buy a house in a mid-to-high-end community, you are really a member of this community. You must

You are the one who obeys the rules of the community, otherwise everyone will unite and kick you out.

The appearance of the house, the vegetation in the yard and the lawn are the most basic requirements for residents. You don’t have to buy a house here, but you must abide by the rules here.

Some of the contents are written in the house purchase contract, and some are re-signed when moving in. In short, people must abide by it.

But soon the community company stopped mentioning this matter because they found that more residents did not have the funds to replace their lawns. If the community service company advanced the money for a certain household, others may also ask the community company to advance the money.

They are almost bankrupt themselves, how can they have so much money to take care of everyone?

Now the main road entering the community from the main road is lined with yellow and withered lawns on both sides of the road. The image of the entire community has plummeted. Coupled with some "For Sale" signs on the lawns, this community that used to be a mid-range community looks particularly special.

The desolation.

The old man standing on the withered lawn smiled, "We just lost our washing machine and lawn mower..." He looked apologetic, "Sorry, the new bill will arrive soon, I have to pay those bills

, and we can’t use those things very much now.”

"I noticed that there is a laundry room and coin-operated washing machine next to the community service company. It's very close to here. It won't be too much trouble for us to wash clothes. As for the lawn..." The old man lowered his head and kicked the lawn on the ground.

I flew some pieces of dirt and couldn't find anything green at all here.

This was originally a relatively wealthy family, but the sudden economic recession directly brought down the family. When they could barely pay Helen's college tuition, the outbreak of the economic recession directly caused them to lose their ability to resist family risks.

Due to the continuous unemployment and the fact that their youngest daughter needed medical treatment, they had replaced the weekly physical therapy performed by a specialized doctor in the hospital with Helen doing it at home, but their lives still did not improve at all.

Continuously selling off property has almost become the only way for similar families to survive now. TV always says that the economy has improved and factories have started operating, but some people always seem to be missed by these good news.

When they can't find anything else to sell, they sell their homes for less than a third of what they paid for them.

Then they will move to a not-so-good neighborhood, or simply move to downtown, find some connections to rent a soup kitchen, and the family will huddle in a small room and wait for the end of the economic winter.

This sad, sad, and helpless situation has happened to countless people.

The old man was silent for a few seconds. He felt very guilty and said, "I'm sorry!"

"It's not your fault." Helen walked over and hugged the old man, "Tell me something to be happy about. Do you know Mr. Billionaire?"

The two of them talked and walked towards the room. As they walked, the old man said, "Of course, Mr. Lynch, the youngest billionaire. TV has been reporting on him during this time. What happened to him?"

"I'm going for an interview!" Helen decided to tell her about it. She had just told her family that she was going to attend an interview, but she didn't say where she was going to attend the interview. She felt that the chance was not high and she didn't want her family to

Sometimes I feel happy and sometimes I feel disappointed.

But at this moment, she realized that she needed some good news to cheer up everyone in her family, so she chose to speak out. Nothing could inspire her family more than participating in an interview with Mr. Billionaire. Even if this matter did not succeed, it would not be successful.

What a bad thing.

At least she went to participate, which is an experience in itself and can make her resume look better.

The old man suddenly became interested, "So what's the result? Did you get the job?"

Helen shook her head, "I don't know, but Mr. Lynch said that my interview left a deep impression on him, and he will consider me when he makes a choice!"

"This is really good news. I have to tell your mother to give us some delicious food tonight!" The old man seemed very excited. His guilt for this family did not continue to affect him. Maybe this incident would not happen.

There is no further news, but at least the family will have a brief moment of relaxation and joy in this silent and depressed life.

During dinner, some beef appeared on the table. Helen's mother introduced it a little, "We bought these together, and I grabbed the best piece!".

Helen's family is not alone in this situation in the community. Bu Payne has been hit harder than other places during this financial disaster!

You must know that in other places the main economic pillars are industry and a small amount of agriculture and animal husbandry, but in the city of Bupen, the industries in which people are most engaged are the financial industry and the service industry, so the financial disaster has a great impact on people like Bupen.

The impact caused by people is also greater and more direct.

Therefore, a phenomenon similar to "group buying" has begun to appear. Ladies in the community will pool their money to buy large packages of ingredients. Such large packages of ingredients that have not been simply processed are cheaper and have more weight.

One person can't afford it, but several people can afford it. Of course, dividing the ingredients in the end requires a certain amount of physical strength and vision. Helen's mother was particularly satisfied with her results today. She grabbed the fattest piece of meat.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This made Helen's father feel even more guilty. He could only smile reluctantly, rubbing his hands back and forth restlessly under the dining table. He was laughing, but it made him feel more guilty than crying.

Uncomfortable.

Everything seems to be going well on the table, just like a few years ago. Helen's parents are not unemployed. They have enough income to support Helen to go to college, and they also have enough money to treat their little daughter's illness. They have never lost their jobs.

Don't worry about these things.

Just wait until next month and everything will be solved.

Toward the end of the dinner, Helen's sister asked a question, "Will you get the job?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Helen almost at the same time, and for a moment, a weight she had never felt before weighed on her shoulders.

She looked at her father. The old man's eyes were filled with an indescribable color, despair, expectation, and some contradictory things mixed together.

Helen nodded subconsciously, then nodded hard again, promising in words that she didn't even believe, "I will, I will!"

The brief and suffocating calm at the dinner table was instantly broken by the little girl's laughter. She may not have known how difficult this was. She just naively thought that everything would be fine, just like TV.

As mentioned above 1.

After dinner, Helen's mother was clearing the table. Her father called her over and wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled and said, "Don't push yourself too hard. We can hold on until we get better!"

That night, Helen felt a weight, responsibility, and a feeling of suffocation that she had never felt before.

They have nothing left to sell. Maybe next time, they will sell this house.

Early the next morning, Helen went to Lynch's residence, which was a house on the hillside near the inner bay of Bupain. It was also the best location in Bupain.

With the bustling metropolis on one side and the ocean in the distance on the other, there is no better location than this. Of course, its price is also disappointing.

Many locals pass by here occasionally or even often, but they are never qualified to enter, even as guests, they do not have such qualifications.

Money draws a line in the world. Inside the line is heaven, and outside the line is hell.

Helen asked the doorman for help, hoping to see Mr. Lynch, but unfortunately, Mr. Lynch didn't seem to want to see her, which made her feel even more desperate.

If she doesn't get the job, what should she do, what should her family do, what should her sister do, and what should she do?

It's very confusing. Sometimes people are like this. Before a critical point in time, they may not have felt this way.

But after this critical time, the whole world suddenly became unfamiliar, and everything was overwhelming and impossible to face.

She didn't want to go home because she would have to face the disappointment of her family after she went back. She continued to look for opportunities outside, but unfortunately, in the current environment, most companies have no plans to recruit new employees.

Cutting down a portion is already worthy of recognition.

In this way, Helen, who had wasted a whole day, finally had to bite the bullet and return home to tell her family the depressing news. She didn't even know how she got home!

After a long period of psychological preparation, she opened the door. The aroma from the restaurant made her even more anxious. This was originally prepared to celebrate her finding a good job, but she brought back

Bad news.

She walked to the living room with heavy steps, ready to tell everyone that she had disappointed them, but what she didn't expect was that she actually saw Lynch here.

Lynch was eating the beef ribs that her mother was good at cooking. He sat on the edge of the table without any image, grabbing the bones with his hands and chewing hard, leaving a mouth full of grease.

Seemingly seeing the girl, Lynch put down his bones and greeted the girl with a smile on his face, "Hi!"
