Lin Yuyao looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar place as if she had been transported to another world.

Don't be fooled by how dilapidated this town looks now. When it's demolished in the future, every household will become a multi-millionaire.

It is a developed city in the east and has developed rapidly.

This place looks remote now, but in the future, houses nearby will sell for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per square meter, and some more expensive ones could exceed 50,000 yuan per square meter.

If it weren't for Lu Jiangting, she would have loved to stay here and develop her career.

Seize the opportunity, make more money, and don't let yourself be as poor and destitute as you were in your previous life.

“Yuyao, we had a fight a few days ago. I thought you wouldn’t come with me, so I haven’t applied for you to accompany me to the military. You might not be able to stay in the military dependents’ home for the time being, so I can only rent a house for you in this town.”

That would be perfect, just what she wanted.

"Mm," Lin Yuyao replied casually.

"I borrowed some money from my sister, but it's not a lot. I'll let you rent it for a month first, is that okay?"

Lin Yuyao ignored him and walked forward with her suitcase.

She had been here in her past life and knew where there were cheap houses.

She soon arrived at an old five-story building.

It's one of those tenement buildings where you have to climb stairs.

There are many factories nearby, and migrant workers from other places like to rent houses in this area.

Lu Jiangting looked up and asked, "Would you like to rent here? That sounds good. I'll go ask."

Lin Yuyao still ignored him. He told her to wait there for a while while he went to ask.

There are people who manage the houses here. After Lu Jiangting went into the management office, he came out a while later and waved to her.

"Yuyao, come here quickly."

Lin Yuyao then walked over.

Lu Jiangting excitedly told her, "I asked around, and there's one room on the first floor and one on the fifth floor. I think the first floor is quite convenient, what do you think?"

Lin Yuyao said directly, "I want the fifth floor."

"Oh? Climbing to the fifth floor is difficult, and sometimes there's a water shortage, plus it's hot in the summer."

She also wants the fifth floor; it's too unsafe for a single girl like her to be on the first floor.

Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Jiangting had no choice but to give in.

"Okay, fifth floor it is."

Lu Jiangting took out his sergeant's certificate, and the other party offered a reasonable price.

A room of about ten square meters was charged ten yuan a month.

Because there is a small, separate bathroom.

In this era, single-room rentals are extremely rare.

The old lady in charge of renting out the apartment smiled and said, "The fifth floor is great. Young people are nimble and can climb the stairs without much trouble. This girl is so pretty, it's not safe on the first floor. About 80% of the people living on the fifth floor are girls, and the remaining 20% ​​are young couples who work together nearby. Plus, the fifth floor has an open-air balcony, which is good for drying clothes."

Lin Yuyao smiled and thanked the old lady, signed the rental contract, paid the money, and got a new key.

This ten yuan was given to me by Lu Jiangting; he still owes me three hundred yuan.

Three hundred yuan, but it was a dowry that his parents had saved for him for a long time, and he took it and gave it to Fang Qing. It's infuriating.

He should pay the rent; consider it interest.

Lu Jiangting offered to help her carry her suitcase, but she refused.

She quickly climbed the stairs with the keys and her suitcase in hand.

Lu Jiangting also carried a suitcase and followed behind her.

After Lin Yuyao opened the door, she went inside and was about to close it.

Lu Jiangting stood at the door and realized that she was not letting him into the house. He finally exploded with anger that he had been holding in all the way.

"How long are you going to keep making a scene? I've put up with you the whole time."

Lin Yuyao: "I didn't tell you to endure it. If you don't want to endure it, then leave now."

"You..." I'm truly defeated by her.

"What do you mean, 'I'll leave if I don't want to put up with it'?"

Lin Yuyao found it amusing; he had said this to her countless times in her past life.

Do you feel uncomfortable talking about him?

It's pitiful that I endured it all in my past life.

Lu Jiangting took a deep breath and said patiently, "Yuyao, we can't keep going like this. How can we live like this?"

How can we still make a living?

She had told him more than once that she didn't want to be with him anymore, but he wouldn't listen.

Lin Yuyao let go of her hand, turned around and went into the house.

Lu Jiangting hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Seeing her like this, she ultimately said nothing.

He left his suitcase inside the house and then looked around, checking the doors and windows.

Upon seeing the lock, he frowned and said, "Yuyao, this lock needs to be replaced."

He didn't even need a key; he just pulled hard, and the lock opened.

Looking at the fragile lock, Lin Yuyao knew it definitely needed to be replaced.

Lu Jiangting looked around and said, "The doors and windows need to be reinforced. I can't be back every night. If I'm too busy to take care of you, it won't be safe for you to live here alone."

Ok?

Does he still want to stay here?

He's dreaming.

Lin Yuyao didn't say anything, thinking that she would ask him to reinforce the doors and windows first.

It was still early, so the two put down their luggage and went to buy daily necessities, sturdy locks, and tools to reinforce the doors and windows.

He didn't have much money to begin with, and now he's spent it all, leaving him with only two yuan.

"Yuyao, we only have two yuan left. How about we just grab something simple to eat tonight?"

"Mmm," she murmured.

Seeing her so cold, Lu Jiangting had no choice but to endure it, his face was so sour.

In her past life, Lin Yuyao suffered a lot of emotional abuse from him, and now she wanted to see how long he could endure it.

Dinner was just steamed buns and porridge, with some pickled vegetables we brought from home.

Lu Jiangting said he still had ten days until he got paid, and he would need to spend those two yuan for ten days.

He won't eat breakfast tomorrow; he'll go back to the army base to eat it.

Does this mean I have to sleep here tonight?

Lin Yuyao strongly objected, saying, "You can't stay here. Fix the windows and then leave."

Lu Jiangting, who was fixing the window: "..."

"It's so late, you're telling me to leave?"

Lin Yuyao dragged the suitcase over and stuffed the clothes she had just taken out back into it.

Lu Jiangting put down his tools and tried to stop her, "What are you doing?"

Lin Yuyao said, "If you don't leave, I will."

"No, where can you go so late? I'll leave, I'll leave once I've fixed it, okay?"

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Lu Jiangting repaired the doors and windows, then slammed the door shut with a dark expression and left.

As soon as he left, Lin Yuyao quickly locked the doors and windows.

After sitting on the train for three days, my feet were swollen and I smelled terrible.

She boiled a big pot of water, took a good bath, and then did the laundry.

Her small apartment has a small balcony, which makes doing laundry very convenient.

However, it's only separated from the balcony next door by a wall less than two meters high. You could easily climb over by putting up a stool, which feels very unsafe.

Moreover, she could hear everything the neighbors were saying.

Of course, after hearing the voices from next door, she felt relieved.

They sounded like two young girls, who seemed to be from the countryside who had come to the city to work, and were female workers in a nearby factory.

By 1988, many factories already existed in the developed cities of the east.

She didn't get a good night's sleep for three days on the train.

After finishing my work, I felt sleepy and fell asleep almost instantly when I lay down on the bed.
