Seeing a group of people pretending to be deaf and dumb, Chen Ruixue could only turn around.
I didn't want to have any conflicts with everyone, but if we don't have conflicts now, we won't even have a place to sleep tonight.
Chen Ruixue didn't speak, but simply looked calmly at the group of women in front of her.
She doesn't want to cause trouble, but she's not afraid of trouble either.
Even if you are a subordinate.
We can't let anyone bully us right now. Once bullying becomes a habit, we'll have to back down in every situation.
This is a society where kindness is often taken advantage of.
Several women felt his gaze on them, and one of the young women, unable to bear it any longer, immediately slammed her chopsticks on the table.
"What are you looking at? Why are you looking at us?"
This large dormitory can sleep ten people, and now that you're here, we have to squeeze in.
There's nowhere to go. Why don't you go to the supervisor and apply to change your dormitory?
Otherwise, you'll have to figure it out yourself; we can't help you anyway.
Seeing the young woman step forward, the other women immediately chimed in.
"Yeah, this dorm is already crowded enough with ten people, and with you on top of that, how are we supposed to fit in?"
"You should go and ask the leader to let you go to another dormitory. It's so crowded here, and they can't just bully the ten of us. This is a dormitory meant for ten people."
"Yes, yes, you should go talk to the manager. Otherwise, we really can't do anything."
Chen Ruixue felt frustrated. Of course, she knew that these people who asked her to go to the leader had no good intentions.
If someone who has just been transferred here goes to the leaders to ask for special treatment, they'll be scolded and sent back in a sorry state.
And these people don't make room for themselves.
It's really just a disguised way of kicking me out.
“If you guys don’t do it yourselves, then I’ll have to do it myself.”
If I accidentally break someone's things, it's not my fault.
As Chen Ruixue was about to lift the blanket, the girls immediately stood up.
"You dare? Who gave you permission to move?"
We told you that you're not welcome in this dorm.
Are you deaf? Can't you hear me?
“If you have any shame, go where you belong. We don’t want to sleep with someone like you.”
Several people were shouting, and some even tried to pull or shove them.
“The leaders assigned me to this dormitory, so I belong here. It’s not your place to tell me if I can sleep here. If you’re so capable, go find the leaders.”
"It's none of your business to judge me. I haven't done anything immoral."
“If you don’t make room, don’t blame me for really throwing these bedding aside.”
Chen Ruixue wasn't afraid of others taking action; in fact, if someone did, it would actually make things easier to handle if it alerted the leadership.
It's unacceptable for the leader to show favoritism and punish only himself.
If things get out of hand, it might be a good thing to assign her to a less crowded dormitory.
Just as the young woman was about to attack Chen Ruixue, she heard a woman's voice.
"What are you doing, Xiao Wu? I just deducted your bonus the day before yesterday, and you've already forgotten and are about to start another fight."
The young woman immediately withdrew her hand, turned around with an embarrassed expression, and saw a woman in her thirties walking in with a lunchbox.
"Sister Wei, it wasn't me who wanted to do it, it was... it was her who wanted to throw our blankets out."
"This dorm room was originally only meant for ten people, and now they're forcing one in. Do you think we can all fit?"
Sister Wei glanced at Chen Ruixue.
"Whether it's squeezed in or not is none of your business to decide."
Since the leadership has assigned us to this position, we have no choice but to accept it!
Alright, stop causing trouble here.
From now on, everyone will be sharing a dorm room and a bed. Please make some room for her by clearing out your things.
Clearly, Sister Wei held considerable authority in the dormitory. With just a few words, the few who had been trying to cause trouble obediently moved their bedding further inside.
They managed to squeeze a spot for Chen Ruixue near the entrance.
However, that position is only half a position.
One person can't even lie flat on it; they can only lie on their side.
Chen Ruixue didn't argue with the others anymore. This was already the best-case scenario, and if she pushed her luck any further, she would easily offend people.
She spread out her bedding, though it was only a narrow strip, but Chen Ruixue knew that at this moment there was no other way but to accept it.
After packing up their things, everyone else had finished eating and lay down on their bunks, obviously to rest for a while before going to work in the afternoon.
Only Sister Wei was still sitting alone at the dinner table.
Chen Ruixue placed an apple in front of Sister Wei.
"Thank you, Sister Wei."
Sister Wei looked at the apple, picked it up, and wiped it on her clothes.
Take a bite.
"No need to thank me, I'm not trying to help you. It's better to avoid trouble. There are often conflicts in our dorm."
"They've already registered them at our chicken farm, and I don't want our glorious dormitory to slip away again."
"I can tell you're a troublemaker too. They're not bad people."
Chen Ruixue nodded but didn't say anything more; there was no room for her to disagree here.
Chen Ruixue did not rest, but simply ate a bite of dry biscuit.
These are the dry rations I brought with me before I came.
There are lockers in the dormitory.
However, all the cabinets were locked, and Chen Ruixue had nowhere to put her things.
Sister Wei glanced at Chen Ruixue's pile of things.
"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative later and buy a wooden box and a lock. Just leave it in the corner for now."
no way.
Back then, this dormitory housed ten people, so they made ten lockers.
"People can squeeze in, but there's nothing we can do about this cabinet."
Chen Ruixue nodded. What the other person said made sense, and she didn't plan to rest.
He ran straight out and found the supply and marketing cooperative.
Sure enough, there were large wooden chests for sale there. Although they weren't camphor wood chests, they were good quality and inexpensive.
It's quite big; one person could fit inside this box without any problem.
I borrowed a wheelbarrow from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Chen Ruixue figured one suitcase might not be enough, so she decided to buy two.
I pushed the box I bought back, placed it against the wall, and packed everything inside, categorizing it into different types, including food and daily necessities.
The other one is for storing one's own clothes.
After locking them, they looked quite sturdy, and it was obvious that these two boxes were much larger than the other person's cabinet.
By the time I finished here, it was time to go to work. The loudspeaker would go off to signal that it was time to start work.
Like everyone else, Chen Ruixue quickly tidied up, locked the dormitory door, and went to the chicken farm.
Although this place was designed according to Ouyang Zhenyu's original modern chicken farming concept, the smell alone upon entering the chicken farming workshop is enough to drive people away for miles.
