Everything around her was telling her that she belonged here and should be a member of it.
As they walked through this narrow street, several small buildings appeared in front of them.
These small buildings are a bit shabby in appearance, but they still have some of the atmosphere of the past. They were supposed to be good houses, but they have obviously fallen into decline.
"This is the house where a pair of orphans and widows live. They are willing to rent out the room upstairs to support their family." The middle-aged man pointed to a two-story building and said.
"This small building is not bad, but the environment nearby is too bad." Sheng Yi still felt something was wrong. If Du Juan hadn't insisted, she would have gone back long ago.
Entering the courtyard of the small building, a woman with gray hair came out to greet them. Knowing that they were here to rent a house, she quickly took them in and showed them the room on the second floor.
The structure of this small building is very simple. The first floor is the kitchen, bathroom and a utility room, and the second floor is the bedroom.
The residents here moved their sons to the utility room downstairs and rented out the bedrooms on the second floor. The monthly rent is five yuan.
When we arrived at the room on the second floor, it was indeed very clean. It was filled with simple and semi-old furniture, and there was only one large bed. The bed was covered with clean and semi-old bedding. It could be seen that they had all been cleaned.
There is a small bathroom and a water room upstairs, but you can't light a fire to cook here. If you want to eat here, you can pay the landlord, and the landlord will cook the stove for the tenants on the first floor.
"It's good. I'll live here. It's five yuan a month, right? I'll give you three months first." Du Juan said and wanted to take out the money.
"Du Xiangli, have you really decided to live here?" Sheng Yi was not sure and hurriedly stopped her.
"Well, it's quite nice here. I like it very much. It's quiet and clean, and it's close to the factory." Du Juan said with a smile.
"Then stay here for a month, and then I'll try to find a more suitable place for you." Sheng Yi advised.
"No need, this is it. I like it here." Dujuan looked happy and decided on the spot.
Sheng Yi felt something was wrong, but at the same time she relaxed. Since Du Juan liked it here, even if Sheng Di blamed her in the future, she would have something to say.
It wasn't that she had to arrange for Du Juan to live here, but Du Juan liked it and there was nothing she could do about it.
The middle-aged man was even more relieved. He finally didn't mess up the matter, otherwise the meal errand would be lost.
Du Juan wanted to take the money to pay the rent, but Sheng Yi refused, saying that the factory paid the management staff to pay the rent, and she could just ask someone to deliver the money tomorrow.
Du Juan didn't want to owe anyone else a favor, so she gave fifteen yuan to the landlady herself.
"It's okay if you just wait for a while. I'll reimburse you when you go to the factory tomorrow. Who would have thought that you would take a fancy to it?" Sheng Yi said helplessly.
Du Juan stayed that night. Of course, this place was much worse than Wanguo Apartment, but Du Juan felt very at ease and at ease.
She didn't know why, while lying on the bed, even though she was covered with a quilt that had been used by others, she didn't feel disgusted at all, as if she felt that this was her own world.
At noon the next day, she hired a car and returned to Wanguo Apartment to pick up her belongings, mainly her bedding and her own clothes.
Lu Ming inquired about the situation and felt that although it was not good, it was still acceptable. The main reason was that Du Juan was so happy that he felt relieved.
"Master Lu, although I no longer live here, you will always be my great benefactor, and I will always be yours." Du Juan looked at Lu Ming's face and said.
"That's right, you are also considered a member of my family. But you are independent and belong only to yourself and not to anyone else. I have done a little favor to my family, and I don't have to always talk about it." Lu Ming said with a smile.
.
Du Juan had mixed feelings. Is ten thousand yuan just a small favor? It is enough to pay a month's salary for two thousand female workers in the spinning mill.
Lu Ming casually took it out and ransomed it for her. She knew that this kindness would never be repaid.
She actually didn't want to leave Lu Ming, but she knew that if she stayed here, it would make Lu Ming very embarrassed.
During those days, Miss Mingzhu guarded her every step of the way like she was guarding against a thief, which had explained everything and at the same time stimulated her self-esteem.
In addition to the ransom money, this position and this new opportunity were all arranged for her by Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's kindness to her was worth her life to repay. Du Juan thought to herself, it all depends on chance.
"Independent personality, new life." Du Juan remembered Lu Ming's repeated emphasis, which was also a guide for her future life.
Lu Ming did not let her leave by herself. He called Zhang Ziyang and the two of them sent her to her new residence together.
Arriving at the place Du Juan rented, Zhang Ziyang's expression changed.
"I said Sister Du Juan, what do you mean, you live alone in a place like this? What do you want us two to think? Can we bear to let you live this kind of life? If you ask me, you should go back and live in Wanguo
Apartment."
"It's very nice here, I like it very much, and it's very close to the factory, so convenient." Du Juan said happily.
Lu Ming walked around and felt very worried. He felt that Du Juan might be deliberately getting angry with him and using this self-abuse method to torture him.
"Don't live here anymore. It's better to go back and live there. I'll charter a car for you to take you to and from get off work every day." Lu Ming said while standing at the top of the stairs.
"What's wrong with you? Isn't this a place where people live? There are dozens of families living nearby, and they are all crowded into a small room. I live alone in such a spacious place, am I still wronged?" Du Juan
Said bluntly.
"Sister, you can't compare with these people, you have a golden body." Zhang Ziyang advised.
"What am I? I am just a plaything abandoned by my parents in society. This is where I should come. I have found myself here and can live like a human being." Du Juan said excitedly.
Zhang Ziyang's expression immediately changed, looking a little ugly.
"Brother Ziyang, I'm talking about myself, not Sister Cailian. Sister Cailian has already made her own decision." Du Juan knew that what she said was too rash.
After all, she is a girl who has never had a customer, so at least she is clean. Cai Lian has been forced to take customers for several years, and is more like a plaything as she said.
Lu Ming didn't say anything. No matter how you explain this kind of thing, it will only get darker and darker.
"Didn't Master Lu let me start a new life of my own? This is the beginning of my new life. I have a very good job, and I am a good person in the factory. I have free and delicious meals every day, and
I am very satisfied to live in such a good place." Du Juan said sincerely.
Listening to her words, Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang could only smile bitterly and shake their heads. Of course they meant well and couldn't bear Du Juan living such a miserable life.
But Du Juan's perspective is different from theirs. She feels that she has lived a life of superiority, and she has seen what the real life of the lower class is like. After redeeming herself, she already has nothing. Since Lu Ming hopes to be independent, in this way
That's what it looks like.
Du Juan settled down and was tired, so Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang had no choice but to drive back gloomily.
When they came here, the whole alley neighbors were shocked.
One was a wealthy young man whom I had seen far away on the street, and the other was a big shot in the police station. The two of them actually sent a girl to a place like this, and they drove there in a car.
Neighbors secretly found the house where Du Juan rented a house and found out that this young and lovely girl worked at Sheng's Spinning Factory. No one knew what she did.
But since these two young masters made a special trip to send it here, they must not be ordinary people.
