The main problem was that the two of them had very little savings; this thousand-plus yuan was money they had saved from their wages at the workshop.
Fortunately, both of them were very frugal. Apart from a small amount of expenses, they saved most of their monthly salary. In a year, they only saved 1,300 yuan, which was far from 3,000 yuan!
Chen Jing patted him on the shoulder: "All you need to do is tell me, do you want to stay in the capital?"
"Of course I want to, I dream about it."
Hou Fang's lips moved, and after a long while, he finally made up his mind to ask, "Brother Jing, can I borrow some money from you? I promise to pay you back with my monthly salary."
"I can pay you back with my salary too," Hou Xiaolian replied firmly.
Chen Jing nodded in satisfaction: "Since you have this idea, I will naturally help you. In a couple of days, I will take you to the housing management bureau. Bring your money with you. If it's not enough, I will make up the difference. From now on, you and your siblings will have 200 yuan deducted from your salary every month until the debt is paid off."
The brother and sister went to the capital in August and received their first salary in mid-September. Several managers received a salary of 100 yuan plus performance bonuses, and 200 yuan was deducted from their salaries each month, leaving them with at least 30 yuan to spend.

In fact, even for locals in Beijing, their wages are not very high; most ordinary people only earn thirty or forty yuan a month.
In the first month, the female workers in the small workshop only worked for about ten days. In September, they received a little over ten yuan in wages, and the female workers were quite satisfied with the job.
