Chapter 6: Doesn’t it hurt?

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, An Wen came to the house that Jiang Wei was interested in and found that the house was older and smaller than the photo, almost like a garbage dump.

The mottled walls and fallen wall powder all tell the story of its vicissitudes over time.

What made it even more unbearable was that the toilets were shared and bathing had to be done in the shared toilets. Not to mention the stench inside, the tiles were all black, yellow and slippery, making An Wen feel like vomiting just by looking at them.

"This house is not good." An Wen shook his head, "I want to see that house worth a thousand and a month."

When he heard that he wanted to rent a more expensive house, the agent smiled and said, "Okay, it's just around here, just a few steps away."

The houses with more than 1,000 are indeed in the same area, but it is a clean community. The houses are much better than those with more than 500. The community environment is good and the trees are shady. Although the house has no elevator on the fifth floor, the space of the house is more than half as big. , the walls are clean, and the bed is not an antique bed that has been passed down for generations. There are not many traces of time, and it looks very comfortable. The most important thing is that this suite has a separate bathroom and kitchen, and the inside is also clean. Net.

At first glance, it is simple but bright.

An Wen nodded, "That's it. In this way, we sign two contracts, one for one thousand as you said, and one for five hundred a month to show to my sister. Because this house is It is rented to my sister, who will come to live in the afternoon. I don’t want her to know that the monthly rent of this house is one thousand a month. After one year, you and her sign a new contract and you can mention another thousand.”

The agency wanted a commission, so I readily agreed.

An Wen thought for a while and directly paid one year's rent.

She knew that Jiang E asked her to borrow five thousand, which was five thousand, and he would not take any more from her.

This is Jiang E's stubbornness. She doesn't want Jiang E and her children to live in such a bad environment. Now she pays the rent for her and finds a kindergarten for her children, hoping to make Jiang E's life less miserable.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, An Wen came to the high-speed rail station and stood at the exit. After waiting for a long time, he did not see Jiang E.

It has been thirty minutes since the high-speed train Jiang E took took arrived at the station, and the passengers inside had already come out.

The next high-speed train has arrived at the station, and passengers are flocking out.

An Wen was a little worried and called Jiang E, but she didn't answer. When she was anxious, she saw a woman in the crowd holding a child with one hand and dragging her luggage with the other hand into her sight.

An Wen couldn't believe her eyes. The once fashionable and delicate girl had become like this. Not only were her clothes baggy, her hair was messy, but she was also skinny and haggard.

The loose and washed-white clothes put on Jiang E's body were like a child wearing an adult's clothes.

If it weren't for the familiar facial features on Jiang E's face, and if it weren't for her being the only one with the child, she wouldn't have believed that the woman in front of her was Jiang E.

Did she... escape from famine? An Wen's heart was filled with shock.

She thought she was in a bad situation, but she didn't expect that Jiang E was even worse than she imagined.

An Wen hurriedly went up to meet Jiang E, who was sweating profusely and struggling to drag her luggage over. The two-year-old child lay on her shoulders, pulling her hair, pulling her sweaty hair into knots. Looking messy and giggling.

An Wen:...

"I'll come, I'll get the luggage." She rushed forward and took the luggage, "Why did you let Xiaobao pull your hair? Doesn't it hurt?" An Wen looked at the hair in the child's hands and felt a headache for Jiang E.

"I can't help it. She was upset and crying all the time on the high-speed train. It was probably the first time she left home and the first time she went to such a crowded place. She was so frightened that she had to hold me and pull my hair along the way. Please be quiet, I'm afraid of disturbing others and getting scolded, so I can only let her pull me like this."

Jiang E gasped as she spoke, "I'm exhausted, An Wen, find me a place to eat. Well, just eat some rice noodles or porridge ."

Fans will definitely be cheaper than eating, this is what Jiang E thought in her heart.

"Okay. Follow me." Seeing that Jiang E was very tired, An Wei didn't care about teasing the child, so he took Jiang E to take a taxi.

An Wen reported the address and the car set off soon.

Xiao Bao in Jiang E's arms started crying, "Mom, I'm hungry..."

"What's wrong?" An Wen couldn't take care of children and was at a loss.

"It's okay. The child is hungry. Just wait until we get him some food." Jiang E hugged the child and coaxed him.

An Wen was helpless. She was really not careful enough and didn't think of bringing food to her children. Fortunately, the restaurant she went to was not far away. Five minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of a restaurant.

Jiang E held the child in her arms, and An Wen paid an extra two hundred yuan before the driver agreed to stop for a meal and wait for them to finish eating before leaving.

After all, it's difficult to take a taxi here, and Jiang'e has so much luggage that it would be too embarrassing to carry it into the hotel.

Jiang E looked at An Wen's operation and was stunned, "Isn't it the house you rented? Why don't you take the luggage down and spend an extra two hundred? What a waste. You can take it with you even when eating. "

"It doesn't matter." An Wen comforted her. Although she also felt pain for the two hundred yuan, she would rather pay two hundred yuan more than drag the heavy luggage.

In addition to the luggage cream, Jiang E's luggage also had a big bag. She felt that her legs were hurting and her shoulders were hurting. She really couldn't carry it anymore.

"Fanfan...fanfan..." Xiaobao was so hungry that he drooled and shouted for food.

Jiang Wei wanted to let An Wei hold the child and pick up the luggage. An Wei immediately took her hand and walked to the hotel, "The child cannot be hungry."

Jiang E looked up at the decoration of the hotel and was shocked. "This hotel is so high-end, it must not be cheap. Let's find another one."

"It doesn't matter, we can afford it." An Wen squeezed her hand, feeling sour in her heart. Three years ago, Jiang E went to a restaurant to eat as easily as buying groceries, but now she even looked at it and was shocked.

Jiang E bit her lip and said nothing more.

An Wen asked for a private room. Since it was not a meal, there were not many people and there was room in the private room.

Jiang E took a look at the vegetable price list and was shocked, "A piece of garlic lettuce costs sixty yuan? Why is it more expensive than meat? I remember it only cost twenty yuan a piece before..."

"Now that prices are skyrocketing, consumer prices in restaurants will naturally follow suit." An Wei said helplessly, "Jiang E, how could you be like this in the past two years? Yang Zian only cares about paying off the mortgage, and doesn't even care about the quality of life? I won’t give you any money?”

Xiaobao started crying again. Seeing this, An Wen had to ask the waiter to bring the water as soon as possible.

When Jiang E poured the milk powder and mixed the rice cereal, Xiaobao ate it with big mouthfuls.

An Wei found that Jiang E was skinny, but Xiaobao was not thin. He seemed to be well-raised. He was fleshy and pink all over, with big eyes that were twinkling. He was well-behaved and cute. He looked like he had been carefully fed. grown up.
