Chapter 411 She is under a lot of pressure
Lin Siyu put down her pen and opened the lunch box. She frowned at the wonton inside, but still picked up the chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.
I really want to eat rice and the braised pork in the canteen of the military family compound.
"How was your job search today?"
It's too tiring for her to support two people by herself. Another of her manuscripts was rejected the day before yesterday, and she is under a lot of pressure.
Besides, the baby in her belly is five months old, and she will give birth in another five months. She doesn't want the baby to be born in such a dark and damp room.
Therefore, she needed Lu Tianyou to find a job as soon as possible and share the burden with her.
When Lu Tianyou heard her asking about finding a job again, he scratched his hair in annoyance.
"There's no factory hiring right now. Many educated youth are buying jobs in the city to get back. Street sweeping jobs are being snapped up. How can I find a job?"
Lin Siyu frowned. "Even if we can't find it, we have to find a way. I can't support us living in Rongcheng and raising a child by myself. Then we will have no choice but to return to Yucheng."
If they go back to Yucheng, it means that everyone will know that they have been expelled from school. They will be ashamed and looked down upon by everyone. They will also be mercilessly ridiculed by their enemies and even relatives and friends, and they will never be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.
It is precisely because they do not want to face all this that they choose to stay in Chengdu despite the difficulties.
No matter how difficult it was, they had to hide the fact that they were fired and live in Chengdu until they graduated from university before they could return to Chongqing.
Lu Tianyou was very upset. "What can I do? I'm a stranger in Rongcheng. Do you think I'm not anxious? I'm in pain too."
He regretted every day that he chose to rekindle his old relationship with Lin Siyu after returning to the city. He really had stayed in the countryside for too long, and he just felt that Lin Siyu was better than those country girls, so he plunged into it.
But after entering university, there were many women who were better and more outstanding than Lin Siyu. If it weren't for Lin Siyu, he wouldn't have to go through all this.
He could divorce Bai Chunhua and find a young, beautiful and innocent girl in college to marry and have children. He would still be a young and promising college student.
He would have a bright future instead of living in this dark and damp little house and being complained by her about not being able to find a job.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Siyu and Lu Tianyou looked at each other. Could it be the old landlady?
The house they rented belonged to an old lady. Her sons all moved into the houses allocated by the factory, so she rented an extra room to the two of them.
"Who is it?" Lu Tianyou asked as he stood up to open the door.
When the door opened, four people wearing red armbands appeared, both men and women.
They first looked at Lu Tianyou, then at Lin Siyu in the room.
"Comrade, you are..."
Lu Tianyou and Lin Siyu's hearts were in their throats.
A woman wearing glasses said, "We're from the subdistrict office. We received a report from the public that some educated youth who secretly returned to the city are illegally staying here, so we came to verify it."
In this era, educated youth could only return to the city by taking college entrance exams or finding jobs in the city.
Of course, educated youth could also return to the city to visit their families, but their stay in the city could not exceed one month.
If you stay in the city for too long, the street office will come to your door to urge you to return.
Lu Tianyou quickly waved his hands and said, "No, we are not educated youth. We are college students who came to Chengdu to study."
"College students?" The comrades from the street office looked at the two of them carefully; they didn't look alike.
Besides, university students have dormitories, so why would they want to live in a house like this? Furthermore, this place is very far from the universities in Chengdu.
"Please show me your student ID cards."
Lu Tianyou & Lin Siyu: "..."
The student ID card has been taken back by the school.
Seeing that they didn't move, the comrades from the street office knew that they were lying.
“What’s a college student without a student ID?”
Lin Siyu felt insulted. "We are college students. We just didn't want to continue studying so we dropped out. The school has also taken back our student ID cards."
"These days, everyone's eager to become a college student. How could anyone drop out after becoming a college student? You, a lesbian, lie without even thinking."
"That's right, you guys don't look like college students."
"From your accent, you don't seem to be from Chengdu. Show me your letters of introduction."
Lu Tianyou took out her and Lin Siyu's letters of introduction, which stated that they were going to Chengdu to study at university.
"Are you really a college student?"
Lin Siyu stiffened her neck and said, "I've already said that we are college students, we just dropped out."
The comrades from the street office looked at the two of them as if they were fools. They thought that they were good college students who dropped out of school and lived here. What was wrong with their brains?
"Since you've already dropped out of school and don't have a formal job in Chengdu, you should return to Chongqing. According to regulations, we have to deport you."
"We'll give you three days to leave Chengdu, otherwise we'll forcibly repatriate you." After saying that, the comrade from the street office left.
As soon as the comrades from the street office left, the old landlady came to kick them out. It happened that the rent had already been paid for a month, so she refused to refund it and asked them to leave quickly.
"Tianyou, what should we do now?" Lin Siyu asked Lu Tianyou in despair.
Lu Tianyou gritted his teeth and pounded the wall, his hands covered in white ash. "What should I do? What else can I do besides returning to Yucheng?"
"But how do I tell my family?"
Lu Tianyou gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, "Just say that your pregnancy reaction is too severe and you can't continue studying. I will take a year off with you and return to school after you give birth."
"So, what happens after the baby is born?"
"You can find excuses later after you give birth, let's get through this now!" Lu Tianyou yelled.
Lin Siyu's eyes turned red and tears rolled out. Unlike before, this time when he saw her crying, Lu Tianyou did not try to comfort her.
In a supply and marketing cooperative in Yucheng, Qin Shulan was asking the salesperson to help her dial the number she had asked for, that of Rongcheng University.
When Siyu left, she clearly said that she would send them living expenses every month, but it has been almost two months, and not only has she not received any living expenses, she hasn't even received a letter.
There was another child in the family, and the police had to come to follow up every now and then. She didn't dare let that dead girl Lin Chengfeng go hungry, and the living expenses Wei Jingfen gave her were not enough.
So she found out the phone number of Rongcheng University and called the school directly to ask Lin Siyu for it.
After the call was answered, the salesperson handed the phone to Qin Shulan.
"Hello, my daughter Lin Siyu is a student at your Rongcheng University. I want to talk to her about something."
Qin Shulan's expression suddenly changed, not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone.
"Are you mistaken? My daughter is Lin Siyu and my son-in-law is Lu Tianyou. They are both college students at your Rongcheng University. How could they be expelled?"
The salesperson was startled, and the gossip fire in his eyes suddenly ignited.
