Lin Yuyao looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar place and felt as if she were in another world.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that this town looks shabby now. When it is demolished in the future, every household will become a multi-millionaire.

It is a developed city in the east and is developing rapidly.

This place looks remote now. In the future, houses nearby will have to sell for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and the more expensive ones may cost more than 50,000 yuan.

If it weren't for Lu Jiangting, she really wanted to stay here and develop.

Seize the opportunity, make more money, and don't let yourself be as poor as you were in your last life.

"Yuyao, we had a fight a few days ago, and I thought you wouldn't come with me, so I haven't applied to join the army yet. You may... not be able to live in the military compound for the time being, so I can only rent a house for you in this town."

That's great, just what she wants.

"Yeah." Lin Yuyao responded casually.

"I borrowed some money from my sister, but it's not too much. I'll rent it to you for a month. Is that okay with you?"

Lin Yuyao ignored him and walked forward with the box.

She had been here in her previous life and knew where the cheap houses were.

Soon she arrived at an old five-story house.

It's a tube-shaped building and you have to climb stairs.

There are many factories nearby, and people who come from other places to work like to rent houses in this area.

Lu Jiangting looked up and said, "Want to rent here? It's also good. I'll go ask."

Lin Yuyao still ignored him. He asked her to wait here for a while and went to ask.

There is a special person to manage the house here. After Lu Jiangting entered the management office, he came out after a while and waved to her.

"Yuyao, come here quickly."

Only then did Lin Yuyao walk over.

Lu Jiangting said to her excitedly, "I asked, there is one house on the first floor and one on the fifth floor. I think the first floor is quite convenient, what do you think?"

Lin Yuyao said directly, "I want the fifth floor."

"Ah? The fifth floor is hard to climb, and sometimes there's a lack of water. It's hot in the summer."

Then she also wanted the fifth floor. She was a single girl and the first floor was too unsafe.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Jiangting had no choice but to compromise.

"Okay, the fifth floor is the fifth floor."

Lu Jiangting showed his ID and the other party offered a suitable price.

A house of more than ten square meters was rented for ten yuan a month.

Because there is a small, independent bathroom.

This is very rare in a single-room rental in this era.

The lady in charge of renting the house smiled and said, "The fifth floor is good. Young people have nimble legs and can climb stairs easily. This girl is so pretty, the first floor is not safe. Eighty percent of the people living on the fifth floor are girls, and the remaining 20% ​​are young couples who work nearby. The fifth floor also has an open-air balcony, which is good for drying clothes."

Lin Yuyao thanked the old lady with a smile, signed the rental contract, paid the money, and changed the key.

The ten yuan was given by Lu Jiangting, and he still owed me three hundred yuan.

Three hundred yuan, but it was the dowry that my parents had saved for me for a long time, and he gave it to Fang Qing. It was really infuriating.

He should pay the rent as interest.

Lu Jiangting wanted to help her carry the suitcase, but she refused.

She climbed the stairs quickly with the key and the box.

Lu Jiangting also followed her, carrying a box.

After Lin Yuyao opened the door and went in, she was about to close the door.

Lu Jiangting leaned against the door and found that she was not letting him into the house. The anger he had been holding in for the whole journey finally exploded.

"How long are you going to make trouble? I have already put up with you all this time."

Lin Yuyao: "I didn't ask you to endure it. If you don't want to endure it, just leave now."

"You..." I really lost to her.

"What do you mean I can leave if I don't want to endure it?"

Lin Yuyao just found it funny. He had said this to himself countless times in his previous life.

Do you feel uncomfortable when you talk about him?

Unfortunately, I have been enduring it all my life.

Lu Jiangting took a deep breath and said patiently, "Yuyao, we can't keep living like this. How are we going to live?"

Still living?

She told him more than once that she didn't want to live with him anymore, but he didn't listen.

Lin Yuyao loosened her hand and turned back into the house.

Lu Jiangting wanted to say something but stopped.

Seeing her like this, she finally said nothing.

He dropped his box inside the house and looked around, checking the doors and windows.

When he saw the lock, he frowned and said, "Yuyao, this lock needs to be replaced."

He didn't even need a key. He just pulled hard and the lock opened.

Lin Yuyao looked at the fragile lock and decided to change it.

Lu Jiangting looked around and said, "The doors and windows need to be reinforced. I can't come back every night. If I'm too busy to take care of you, it won't be safe for you to live here alone."

Um?

He still wants to live here?

He wishes.

Lin Yuyao said nothing, thinking that she would ask him to reinforce the doors and windows first.

It was still early, so the two put down their luggage and went to buy daily necessities, as well as sturdy locks and tools for reinforcing doors and windows.

He didn't have much money to begin with, and all of it was gone in one go, leaving him with only two dollars.

"Yuyao, we only have two dollars. Let's just have something to eat tonight. What do you think?"

"Hmm." She hummed softly.

Seeing how cold she was, Lu Jiangting had no choice but to endure it with a sour look on his face.

In her previous life, Lin Yuyao had suffered a lot of cold violence from him, and now she wanted to see how long he could endure the cold violence.

Dinner was steamed bread and porridge, eaten with salted vegetables brought from home.

Lu Jiangting said that he would not get his salary for another ten days, so it would take another ten days to spend the two yuan.

He won't have breakfast tomorrow and will go back to the army to eat.

Does this mean I have to sleep here tonight?

Lin Yuyao strongly objected, "You can't live here, fix the window and then leave."

Lu Jiangting, who was repairing the window: "..."

"You want me to leave so late?"

Lin Yuyao dragged the box over and stuffed the clothes she had just taken out back into the box.

Lu Jiangting put down his tools and came to stop her, "What are you doing?"

Lin Yuyao said, "If you don't leave, I will leave."

"No, where can you go so late? I'm leaving. Can't I just leave after I'm done with it?"

Lu Jiangting couldn't defeat her, so after fixing the doors and windows, he slammed the door and left with a dark face.

As soon as he left, Lin Yuyao quickly locked the doors and windows.

After sitting on the train for three days, my feet are swollen and my body smells bad.

She boiled a large pot of water, took a good bath, and then did some laundry.

The small house she lives in has a small balcony, which is really convenient for washing clothes.

However, there is only a wall less than two meters high separating it from the balcony next door. You can just climb over it using a stool, which feels very unsafe.

And she could hear clearly the voices talking next door.

Of course, she felt relieved after hearing the voices next door.

It sounded like they were two young girls, who seemed to be migrant workers from the countryside who came to the city to work. They were female workers in a nearby factory.

In 1988, there were already many factories in the developed cities in the east.

She didn't get a good night's sleep during the three days on the train.

After I finished my work, I felt sleepy and fell asleep on the bed almost immediately.
