Chapter 386 I came here today to tell you something.

In a large courtyard, a middle-aged woman with a thin face led two people to a small room in the corner of the courtyard.

She searched for a long time among the bunch of keys in her hand before finally finding a key with some rust on it.

“Ahem…”

The moment the door was opened, dust blew directly in my face, along with a damp and musty smell.

After the woman opened the door, she walked to the side and waited until she stopped coughing before turning around and speaking to the person behind her.

"This is the place we want to rent. Come in and take a look!"

"This room has not been occupied for a long time. It's normal to have some dust. Can you please move in?"

After the woman finished speaking, she couldn't help but cough twice. While coughing, she complained in her heart about her mother-in-law who was obsessed with money.

This is called a room, but in fact it is just a shed built by oneself, with only enough space for a bed.

And because it was built right next to the sewer in the yard, it was extremely humid, and from time to time a foul smell from the sewer would float up.

Especially during the rainy season, when the rain is too heavy and the drainage cannot be timely, the water in the room can reach up to the ankles.

This place was originally built as a storage room, but because it was too humid, the things stored inside always got moldy and rotted, so it has not been used for a long time.

But her mother-in-law was greedy. When she saw someone looking for a house to live in on the street today, she became interested and brought the person home.

If such a shabby house could be rented out, it would be a blessing in disguise.

However, the next second, she discovered that today's sun seemed to really rise from the west.

"Sister, is this house really three dollars a month? If it's really that price, I'll rent it."

"If you don't like it, I'll lock the door. This..."

When the elder sister heard someone talking, she reflexively thought that the person disliked the house, but she only realized it halfway through the words.

Has their shabby shed been rented out?

The eldest sister was afraid that they would go back on their word, so after quickly finalizing the agreement, she took the key and handed it to them, then turned around and left with the first month's rent, smiling happily.

Oh, I didn’t expect her mother-in-law to rent out this shed!

Even though three dollars may not be a lot of money, it is enough to buy a lot of eggs! Then, not only will the men and children in the family be able to eat an egg every few days to replenish their nutrition, but maybe the mother-in-law will also be able to cook one for her!

In the narrow room, Wang Dahu rolled up his sleeves and wiped the bed board with a towel.

But because there was too much dust on the bed board, it was still wet after wiping it.

Wang Dahu thought for a while, took out a patched piece of clothing from his bag, spread it on the bed, then smiled and looked at the person who had been standing at the door with his nose covered.

"Aoxue, there is no stool here right now, so I have to ask you to sit on the bed first."

"But don't worry, I just saw a few big rocks by the door. When the time comes, we can move them in and use them for the time being.

"When I find some wood, I can make a stool myself."

Song Aoxue didn't hear what he said at all. She just felt that even through the handkerchief, the musty smell still penetrated into her nose.

It is accompanied by the sour smell of the ditch, which is simply disgusting!

To be honest, if she hadn't needed to see Wang Dahu for something, she would have turned around and left long ago.

How could she, a top student from Peking University, come to a place like this!

But there was still something else to do, so Song Aoxue paused, but still walked in patiently and carefully sat on the clothes that Wang Dahu had laid out.

"ah!"

However, the moment she sat on it, the bed suddenly creaked a few times, and the bed board under her buttocks instantly tilted in one direction.

Song Aoxue jumped up almost instantly, touching her chest in shock, and even the handkerchief she used to cover her nose fell to the ground.

"Aoxue, how are you? Are you okay?"

Wang Dahu was also shocked at first. After making sure that Song Aoxue was standing firmly, he bent down to check her. After a moment, he stood up with a smile.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the bed legs are a little soaked and rotten, I'll clean it up when I get back!"

The bed in this house is not a bed, but it is just a wooden frame with a simple piece of wood board on it.

This room had been uninhabited before, and the bed legs were flooded during the rainy season, and they were not dried in time, so the wood was corroded over a long period of time.

However, Wang Dahu was already very satisfied with the room in front of him.

The house he had inquired about before, even for a single room, cost about eight dollars a month.

Even if the house in front of me is not good, it is still cheap. Three dollars a month, eight dollars is enough for three months of rent.

Before, his mother had always been reluctant to let Aoxue go to college. After finding out that he not only secretly let his wife go to college, but also wanted to support her studies, she got angry and directly split up the family.

He took all the money that was divided up and sold the house that was allocated to him, and only then did he raise enough money for their travel expenses and tuition.

Yesterday, because Aoxue wanted to buy a thermos, he spent a lot of money, and now he only has seven dollars left.

If I hadn't come across this house, I would probably be sleeping on the streets today.

Wang Dahu has made up his mind. He will go find a job in the afternoon.

When he was wandering around here before, he happened to meet a guy who was looking for someone to cover the night shift. If he could find a daytime job at that time, it would definitely be enough for him and Aoxue to live on.

The current difficulties are temporary. Aoxue said that after she graduates, she will naturally be assigned a job and they will be able to settle down in Beijing.

In this way, when their children are born in the future, they will be city dwellers and will no longer have to live a life of hard work like him.

"Aoxue, are you hungry? I have a steamed bun in my bag."

"No, I'm not hungry."

Because she didn't have a handkerchief to cover her nose, Song Aoxue felt like she was suffocating because of the stench, and she looked around with disgust.

But thinking of his purpose, he still smiled and moved closer to Wang Dahu.

"Da Hu, I came here today to tell you something."

"Now that I've been admitted to Kyoto University, I just want to study hard so that we can live a good life."

"So, I think you shouldn't come to school to see me on weekdays, otherwise it will distract me."

"Besides, if other people knew that I brought my husband to school, there would inevitably be some gossip, which would also affect my studies. What do you think?"

"Aoxue, you are right, your study is definitely the most important thing."

"But if I don't go to school, then your monthly living expenses..."

"It's okay, I will definitely make time to come and see you every month, just give it to me when the time comes!"

"Okay, then if you have time, come back often, and I'll buy you something delicious!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say! Da Hu, you're so nice!"

"You are my wife. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
