Qiao Ran held the phone and waited patiently for a while.
Qiao Tianai didn't send any other messages. She must have gone to take medicine and prepare to rest.
After all, she is a patient.
Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the house.
There is not much available space in the house, with only a bed and a table.
Besides, there is no space for an extra bookcase.
The kitchen only had a small stove for making fire and a large iron pot. There was no refrigerator, so no food could be stored.
Even to go to the toilet, you have to go to the dirty and smelly public toilet in the alley.
So Qiao Ran usually comes back after eating at the small restaurant where he works part-time and taking care of his physiological needs.
But girls, it is inevitable that there will be a few special days.
So she bought a spittoon and placed it in the house to solve emergency physiological problems.
Her life was worse than most people could imagine.
Life in the alley seems to have returned to the famine years, a backward mountain village where people are so poor that they can't even afford to eat and starve to death every day.
It is hard to imagine that there would be such a slum in the prosperous Yuecheng.
To be precise, this place has already been sold to a real estate developer and is planned to be demolished to build a high-rise building.
However, there are still more than a dozen stubborn households that are unwilling to move, so the demolition has been delayed until now.
But Qiao Ran knew that she would not stay here for long.
When Qiao Tianai comes to Yuecheng from Beijing for treatment, she will move out of here and live in a magnificent villa.
Compared to being a canary in a cage, she actually liked the feeling of living here alone.
At least she had her freedom.
It took Qiao Ran a long time to clean up when he first arrived.
Although she grew up in the countryside and did a lot of odd jobs, because of her pretty appearance, her relatives wanted to sell her for a good price. She was the one who did the least work among the three girls in the family.
I've never caught mice or spiders myself.
She endured her fear and cleaned up for a long time before the place was barely habitable.
Later, she bought a lot of unwanted gadgets from the scrap yard at low prices, and the small shabby house finally looked like home.
Although the house is not hers, her life is hers.
Qiao Ran has always thought so.
So she rarely treats herself harshly.
Everything was fine before except that I was a little poor.
I have a lot more free time in the evenings when I don’t have to work part-time.
But key issues also emerged.
She touched her hungry stomach, then looked at the balance on her bank card and swallowed reluctantly.
She put on her coat and ran out with an umbrella. She found a nearby Shaxian restaurant and ordered a set meal that she usually didn't want to order. She ate it with relish.
After filling my stomach, I went to the bookstore and picked out a few books that I had wanted to buy for a long time, and then returned to the alley.
Qiao Tianai paid her 100,000 yuan, which was enough for her to finish three years of high school and even move to a better place to live.
But she also needs to prepare for the future.
She was in the tiger camp, with no one to rely on. If she took a wrong step, she would lose everything.
The only one who can help her is herself.
She wants to change her life through studying and no longer be restrained by anyone.
But her current grades are not good enough, and it is even a question whether she can get into university.
Fortunately, there are still three years left, so everything is still in time.
Qiao Ran took out her homework from her schoolbag and turned on the children's desk lamp on the desk that she had bought from the scrap yard for two dollars.
The light wasn't bright enough and sometimes flickered, but it was enough for her.
A few papers fell out of the bag.
Qiao Ran took a look and suddenly remembered that he didn't have to go to class tomorrow, but would attend a parent-teacher meeting after the midterm exam.
She has no parents, so naturally she has to go to the parent-teacher meeting by herself.
only……
Since they didn't take the exam, they shouldn't attend the parent-teacher meeting, right?
Qiao Ran gritted his teeth.
She had just promised Qiao Tianai that she would wait at the traffic light intersection tomorrow morning.
Do I have to lie to her again?
Qiao Ran thought deeply for a while and shook his head.
Forget it, let’s stick with the plan.
Qiao Tianai didn't trust her that much and would definitely send many private detectives to follow her. It would be impossible to hide it.
The only way is to play dumb.
So the next morning, before dawn, Qiao Ran went out with his schoolbag on his back.
He walked through the maze-like alleys with ease, bought two meat buns at a roadside breakfast shop, and then sat on a chair in front of a convenience store next to the traffic light outside the school.
wait.
She knew that she might not be able to wait for Cong Nian and He Sui.
She was just pretending to do it for Qiao Tianai to see.
In the early morning streets, there are only drunkards lying on the roadside with hangovers and the busy sounds of breakfast shops opening.
She searched aimlessly.
As expected, several people who looked like ordinary people appeared on the street corners and in the shops, but in fact they were secretly watching her with sharp eyes.
People are always sensitive to the gaze falling on them.
Qiao Ran is no exception.
She curled her lips, knowing that these people must have been sent by Qiao Tianai to keep an eye on her.
Suspicion may be the characteristic of everyone in the Qiao family except her.
Now that she saw them, she felt relieved.
It was too early and Qiao Ran couldn't help but yawn.
Even the big yellow dog tied at the door of the store was still asleep. When he saw her coming, he just looked up at her warily - with a steaming meat bun in his hand.
If she bought Goubuli buns, would the big yellow dog still stare at her?
Qiao Ran looked at the big yellow dog.
There was a heavy iron chain tied around its neck, which made the hair around its neck much thinner, and there were red marks on the skin under the chain.
