Tian Xiaocao has been living in the Chu residence for more than half a month.
The continuous supply of high-quality medicine and meals every day helped her recover from her injuries very quickly, and now she is basically as healthy as before.
But the guilt in her heart grew deeper and deeper.
Sister Chu is already very busy as the factory manager, and she also has to take great pains to take care of her. Her pretty face has looked much more haggard in recent days.
Taking advantage of the factory's closure today, Tian Xiaocao found Chu Xi early in the morning to explain the situation.
"Sister Chu, I'm planning to go back. I've troubled you for so many days..."
"You and I are both sisters in the Women's Federation. We should help each other. Why are we so polite?"
"Sister Chu, I know... but you've helped me enough. I can't push my luck and shamelessly stay here and eat and live your life."
Chu Xi looked at the woman who had just recovered from a serious illness, and after seeing her extremely determined eyes, he sighed helplessly.
She is not a kind-hearted person, nor does she help everyone. Xiaocao is a tough woman with her own principles.
As soon as his injury healed a little, he rushed to do the housework, and often cared for and supported her. Although they had not been together for long, the two were really like sisters.
However, since Xiaocao has made up her mind, she will respect her wishes, but she still needs to consider her future residence.
"Okay, but now that you and Gou Shi are divorced, where are you going to settle down?"
"I...I plan to live with my parents for a while. Once I save enough money, I'll buy a house in Xianyang."
"Going back to my parents' home?!"
"You just walked out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den?"
After hearing the answer, Chu Xi couldn't help but exclaimed, her brows tightly furrowed. In the past half month, she also learned about the situation in Xiaocao's family.
Her parents were small vendors in Xianyang. They were extremely patriarchal and would either beat or scold their daughter. They had her do all the dirty and tiring chores at home since she was young, and if she didn't finish them, she wouldn't even have anything to eat.
He treated his youngest son like a treasure and was reluctant to let him do any work, and he almost always granted his requests.
In order to find him a wife, she even married her daughter to a rogue in exchange for a high betrothal gift.
If Tian Xiaocao really went back to her parents' home, let alone saving money to buy a house, she would probably be sold by her parents again for money. With the word "filial piety" weighing on her, she would be at the mercy of others.
"...Sister Chu, you are right..."
“They won’t let me go…”
It was as if a basin of ice water had poured down upon Tian Xiaocao, chilling her to the bone and extinguishing the last shred of ridiculous hope in her heart. All the cold treatment and calculations she had endured for more than twenty years came to mind.
She was like an outsider in the Tian family, working day and night to take care of household chores, but what she got in return was not respect and care, but ridicule and humiliation.
If she hadn't entered the factory and met Sister Chu and the others, perhaps Tian Xiaocao would have lived a life worse than an old ox...
Chu Xi looked at the depressed woman, walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder, then smiled brightly, and the girl's youthful voice sounded particularly lively.
"Xiaocao, I have an idea of a good place that is perfect for you."
"Where's a good place to go?"
“You’ll know when you get there!”
Tian Xiaocao was pulled away by Chu Xi with a confused look on her face. When they arrived at the destination, she looked at the factory gate and scratched her head in confusion.
Sister Chu wouldn't let her sleep on the floor in the factory, would she?
Fortunately, the expected thing did not happen. The two went deeper into the factory. After a moment, Tian Xiaocao looked up at the tall and magnificent building and was shocked.
"Is this... Is this the Asgard?"
"Oh, this is the staff dormitory. It's been under construction for almost a year. It's so noisy, you didn't notice it before?"
"No, no... I used to go home and cook right after work..."
Seeing the woman's head gradually drooping, Chu Xi slapped his forehead in annoyance, thinking that he had touched Xiaocao's sore spot.
Gou Shi was such a person that he even beat his wife. One can only imagine how he treated her on a daily basis...
In order to make up for his mistake, Chu Xi hurriedly took Tian Xiaocao to the office on the first floor to go through the procedures for checking into the dormitory.
Although it was still early, a large group of young men and women had gathered here, scrambling to check in.
After getting an iron key from the dormitory manager, the two of them squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty and came to the dormitory assigned to Tian Xiaocao.
The dormitory is located on the third floor, which is neither too high nor too low, just the right height. The corridor is very long, but there are large glass windows at both ends, so you can still see clearly when the sunlight comes in.
"Wow! Sister Chu, look outside the window, we're standing so high!"
"Yes, this is only the third floor. If we were on the top floor, it would be beautiful to watch the stars at night."
"But the top floor is too high. Climbing up and down every day is exhausting."
Tian Xiaocao was obviously allergic to romance. She didn't know what was so beautiful about the stars hanging in the sky every night. She only knew that climbing ten flights of stairs every day would make her exhausted.
Hearing this, Chu Xi looked down at his thin arms and legs, was silent for a moment, and quickly closed the window.
There is a public restroom on each floor for daily washing and using the toilet. In addition to the two people, there were many young women visiting in groups.
The first thing you see when you enter the door is a row of spacious washbasins, followed by independent bathrooms. Each bathroom has a squat toilet, which is both hygienic and ensures privacy.
The women looked at the spacious and tidy space and the clean and sanitary environment with surprise on their faces, and some of them couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh my god! This is actually 匽?!"
"I've never seen such a clean toilet. I'm afraid this isn't used by noble people..."
