Chapter 14: Being and standing at the same time!
The days on the train can be said to be boring yet fulfilling.
Boredom comes from having nothing to do.
It feels fulfilling because I have come into contact with all kinds of people. Here, I seem to be able to see all kinds of human conditions.
When Chen Zhiyu felt that she was about to adapt to the pace of life on the train, she arrived at her destination.
Shen Zhiyu doesn't know much about her predecessor's family. After all, it is not mentioned in the plot, and even her predecessor is not mentioned much. She will only be mentioned when she needs to be compared with the heroine Qiao Xi.
Walking out of the station and standing in the vast crowd, the memories of her deceased previous life emerged. She remembered where her previous life lived and what the situation was like at home.
In fact, its predecessor came from a compound.
But I had a falling out with my family.
She has four older brothers. She is the youngest and the only girl in the family.
According to common logic, she should be the most favored.
In fact, she was indeed favored.
However, Shen Zhiyu discovered that the favor of his predecessor was more like a benchmark.
Her parents used her favor to cover up the fact that they favored boys over girls.
Their predecessor was well-behaved, and they were not happy.
When their predecessor got into trouble, they protected him, but they used this method to show how outstanding and sensible their predecessor's brothers were.
As for the predecessor being sent to the countryside?
It was a play performed by the parents of the predecessor, under the pretext of allowing the predecessor to receive re-education. After all, he was "spoiled" by them.
In this way, the younger son who still has no job can stay in the city and slowly look for a job.
Why did my predecessor's family send letters from time to time and give money and tickets? Of course, it was to maintain their reputation and show that they had not given up on their daughter.
But in fact, apart from writing a letter and sending some money every once in a while, they didn't express any feelings. No one thought of going to see how their predecessor was doing.
The money given to the predecessor seems to be a lot, but for a family with multiple employees like theirs, is it really a lot?
My predecessor's father, Shen Ao, earned more than 100 yuan a month, my predecessor's mother, Li Tunan, also earned more than 100 yuan a month, and my predecessor's four brothers all earned at least 40 yuan a month.
This family's monthly salary is close to 400 yuan.
Over the course of several years, eight hundred yuan was given to the predecessor of the rural program, which was indeed a lot.
Perhaps, this family has sufficient reasons. They are sending their predecessor to receive re-education, so they only need to give some support, but not too much, otherwise it will foster the predecessor's pampering.
Only now did she remember the situation at her previous home, and Shen Zhiyu didn't want to go back there.
Because that family can be summed up in one word: both powerful and insolent!
As a person who doesn't want to be wronged, Shen Zhiyu made a decision in an instant. Instead of going home, she went directly to the factory to report.
Once the work is done, household registration can be handled directly at the street office.
After all, from the moment he and her household registration went to the countryside, they moved out of the Shen family.
So, even if I don’t go home, it won’t have any impact.
The job that the Shen family arranged for her was to work as a worker in a textile factory. There was no specific job position, and it depended on how the factory assigned her.
Chen Zhiyu knew that working in a textile factory was not easy, but she had no other better choice.
The reporting unit was the Seventh Cotton Mill, which was located in the suburbs.
From this point, it can be seen that the Shen family really does not want the predecessor to have too much involvement with the family. Otherwise, why would the Shen family send her to such a remote small factory?
"That's good too!"
Chen Zhiyu thought so.
She is not the predecessor!
Moreover, her predecessor didn't seem to have any thoughts about her family and left any obsessions.
The predecessor was also a pitiful one.
Raised astray by parents.
It was not until she went to the countryside that she finally understood everything, but it was too late.
Her previous life married Qi Huan with the help of Qiao Xi because she really wanted to live a good life with him. That's why she endured the targeting from Qi's mother Zhou Cuihua.
Unfortunately, she didn't understand after all.
If you endure for a while, you will have peace and tranquility; if you take a step back, you will have a broader horizon. There is actually something more to come. If you give in step by step, you will eventually have no place to stand.
Chen Zhiyu quickly completed all the formalities, and with the help of a small amount of money, she was not assigned to the workshop, but stayed in the office.
As for where to live, Chen Zhiyu was also assigned a large house in the west wing of the central courtyard of a large three-story compound.
According to the development process in later generations, this area should be outside the Third Ring Road in the later period.
But it’s still worth the money!
However, she had foresight, but if she had to wait for decades to make a fortune through demolition, then this foresight would have been in vain.
"Little girl, who are you looking for?"
After politely declining the overly enthusiastic male comrade from the Housing Management Department's offer to take her there, Shen Zhiyu found the slum alone. As soon as she entered the door, she was stopped by a kind-looking old lady.
"Old lady, I'm a new worker at the Seventh Cotton Mill, and I've been assigned housing in this courtyard!"
"You're from the cotton mill! Come in quickly!"
When the old lady heard that Shen Zhiyu also worked at the cotton mill, a kind smile appeared on her face, "Most of the people living in our courtyard are from the cotton mill!"
"Little girl, which room did you get?"
"Central courtyard, west wing, big house!"
"Wow, you're really lucky!"
When the old lady heard what Shen Zhiyu said, she also smiled and told her about the situation in the lower courtyard.
The west wing of the central courtyard previously belonged to an engineer. He was promoted and moved into the cadre building, so the west wing became vacant.
Many families in the courtyard were eyeing the west wing, but before they could take action, they were taken down by Shen Zhiyu.
Chen Zhiyu didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to her after she just gave some gifts.
As expected, it is true that the saying goes, "The more courtesy you give, the less blame you will get."
After chatting with the old lady for a while, Shen Zhiyu also knew the old lady's identity.
The old lady's surname was Li. She was the original owner of this courtyard house, but all her family members were gone. Later, she actively responded to the government's call and donated the courtyard.
Now, she lives in the main house in the middle courtyard of a quadrangle courtyard, with three bright and spacious rooms. She also has the status of a five-guarantee household. Her daily life is mostly helped by people in the courtyard, and she helps take care of the children in the courtyard and occasionally plays the role of an aunt who opens the door. In short, her life is still quite leisurely and comfortable.
Chen Zhiyu thought the old lady was a down-to-earth person and liked her very much.
After all, she is a simple-minded person and doesn't like to deal with those cunning people.
Of course, when she first arrived in this slum, she wasn't sure whether the people living there were humans or ghosts!
When doing things, the worst thing to do is to generalize.
When evaluating a person, we should not only look at what he says, but also what he does.
Shen Zhiyu didn't want to be sold out, and in the end, have to help others count money!
