Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, understanding in his heart.
Wherever there are people, there will be class distinctions, and where there are classes, there will be exploitation. This kind of thing is normal.
If you want to continue working here, you have to endure it.
"Okay, are the wages correct? Come here tomorrow at this time and I will arrange work for you."
Foreman Mao Guangfei paid the wages and left here with his bag under his arm.
Lu Feng also said hello to several workers and quickly left the construction site.
It was now five o'clock in the afternoon. He had to buy something quickly and then return to his residence.
…
A women's clothing store.
As soon as Lu Feng walked in, he was stopped by two shopping guides.
"Hey, hey, don't go in, what are you doing?" a girl asked with a frown.
Lu Feng's body was now covered with cement dust, and there was even a lot of it on his face. This image was really shocking.
"I'm going to buy some thicker clothes." Lu Feng paused and stood at the door of the store.
"Hey, isn't this, isn't this a fool...?" Suddenly, a cleaning woman in the store came over.
"Sister Zhang, do you know him?" A shopping guide was stunned when he saw this.
"Ah, it's from our compound." Sister Zhang glanced at Lu Feng and knew that Lu Feng had recovered.
Lu Feng glanced at the aunt and said, "I want to buy some clothes."
"A piece of clothing here costs hundreds of dollars, you..." The aunt didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was obvious.
Who in the compound doesn’t know about Ji Xueyu and Lu Feng’s conditions!
"How much is the most expensive one?" Lu Feng asked with a frown.
"Five hundred and sixty-eight!" the shopping guide replied without hesitation.
In this remote place, clothes worth more than 500 yuan are already very high-end.
After all, Ji Xueyu worked as a waiter in a hotel, and his monthly salary was only 1,800 yuan.
"Okay, then I want the best."
Lu Feng only had so much money, but he still didn't hesitate.
The two shopping guides were stunned when they heard this, and Aunt Zhang also looked at Lu Feng with some confusion.
A piece of clothing costing more than 500 yuan, just buy it?
Lu Feng's current behavior makes him a real fool, right?
After all, the consumption level in this place is really not high.
However, when Lu Feng took out the money, several people fell silent for an instant.
According to the size Lu Feng said, the shopping guide quickly wrapped Lu Feng's clothes, issued a receipt, and handed it to Lu Feng.
Although Lu Feng's clothes were worn out, he was still a customer who spent money, so his attitude immediately changed.
"Where does this kid get the money? Renting a house only costs 200 yuan a month. How dare he buy such expensive clothes?"
Seeing Lu Feng carrying the clothes and leaving, Aunt Zhang muttered in confusion.
…
Lu Feng found a public restroom on the road, washed his face, and patted the cement dust off his body.
After it didn't look so dirty, I hurried home.
Ji Xueyu, on the other hand, had already prepared the meal and was waiting for Lu Feng at home.
"Xiao Feng, why is there so much cement on you?"
Seeing Lu Feng come back, Ji Xueyu was a little confused, but still hugged Lu Feng without hesitation.
"I went to the construction site for a walk, and there was a lot of dust there."
Lu Feng explained with a smile, then raised the things in his hands and said, "Look what I bought you?"
However, Ji Xueyu didn't even look at it. Looking at Lu Feng's red hands, his eyes were filled with distress.
"I checked on my phone today. There are a lot of jobs I can do around here," Ji Xueyu said in a low voice.
"No, you must listen to me on this matter."
"I'll save some money, and then we'll change places to live. If we contact Mr. Liu after a while, we can go back to Jiangnan City."
Lu Feng reached out and scratched Ji Xueyu's nose, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"All right……"
Ji Xueyu lowered his head slightly, his tone a little disappointed.
"Look, this." Lu Feng patted Ji Xueyu's head and opened the packaging bag in his hand.
Lu Feng took out a beige velvet jacket from the packaging bag.
"Wow, where did it come from?"
Ji Xueyu's eyes lit up and he asked with some surprise.
"I said I stole it, do you believe it?" Lu Feng said pretending to be mysterious.
"Hey, you know how to lie! But does it cost a lot of money?" Ji Xueyu touched the fabric of the coat and asked with some worry.
"No, the discount at the clothing store is less than a hundred yuan." Lu Feng waved his hand indifferently.
"Really?" Ji Xueyu didn't believe it.
Although the consumption level here is not high, you can't buy such clothes for one hundred yuan.
"Really, I won't lie to you." Lu Feng said seriously.
Ji Xueyu nodded, but still kept complaining that Lu Feng spent too much money.
"I have clothes, you should buy them for yourself first."
"You still have to go to work. What if you don't wear enough clothes and get cold?"
Lu Feng listened to Ji Xueyu's constant chatter, touched the tip of his nose and smiled without saying anything.
Although Ji Xueyu kept nagging, the happiness in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
A warm atmosphere unique to the two slowly filled the small room.
“I found a job, the salary is decent, and I’m not tired!”
"It's just that the working environment is a bit unclean, so you can't dislike me." Lu Feng rubbed his palms and sat in front of the dining table.
"No, why would I dislike you?" Ji Xueyu glanced at Lu Feng angrily, and then folded the clothes carefully.
"It's getting cold, so I need to put it on tomorrow." Lu Feng said.
"I know, I know, let's eat first!"
Ji Xueyu came back, and the two of them had a simple dinner together.
In the next few days, Lu Feng went to work at the construction site every day and gave all the money he earned back to Ji Xueyu.
Ji Xueyu is like a parent, more like a real big sister, calculating the expenses of the two of them and putting away the remaining money.
When they save enough money, they can move to another place to live.
In the past few days, Lu Feng had been contacting Liu Wanguan, but he couldn't get in touch at all.
In Jiangnan City, the information blockade is also very strict, and it is impossible to find any information at all.
However, Ji Xueyu was a little relieved that Hou Yuanhang did not come to cause trouble again.
Ji Xueyu knew that it wasn't that Lu Feng didn't want to avenge him, but that he didn't dare.
Although Lu Feng had the courage to kill Hou Yuanhang, he did not have the confidence to kill him.
After all, in order to help Lu Feng and Ji Xueyu hide their names, countless Lu family soldiers sacrificed their lives. Lu Feng could not let those people's sacrifices go in vain.
Therefore, Ji Xueyu knew that Lu Feng could not act willfully.
Hou Yuanhang no longer brings trouble, which is what Ji Xueyu wants most.
But Ji Xueyu never knew that Hou Yuanhang, who bullied him, was no longer in this world.
"Xueyu, when I come back from work today, our money should be enough to exchange for a house."
That day, before leaving for work, Lu Feng thought about it and said.
