"Sigh, it's not easy to find work these days," the woman said to herself. "Don't just look at how big the Luzhou City is, it's hard to find work, and it's not easy to find work outside!"
Lee Yifann smiled and followed her.
The room was divided into several parts: a small kitchen, an earthen stove, a living room, three bedrooms, and a bathroom.
The woman led him to the furthest bedroom. It wasn't too big, about twenty square meters. There was a wooden bed, a small wooden table about a meter long, and on it was a black-and-white TV from the last century, along with a small wardrobe.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
The woman was beaming with joy as she introduced the place, "Young man, what do you think about this place? "Although it is not as good as those hotels, it is still a place to live."
Lee Yifann's eyes swept across the small room. He had noticed something along the way, as if this was the only room with tiles on the floor. The other places were made of normal concrete. There was a window in the wall of the room, and the light was not bad. He nodded, "Yes, it's alright. Although it's a little small, but it's enough to accommodate people."
The woman was quite satisfied with him, so she took the opportunity to say, "Since you're satisfied, then let's live here. From the looks of it, you should still be a student, right? I don't want too much, just fifteen yuan a day. "
Lee Yifann frowned, he calculated in his heart and revealed a troubled expression, "Auntie, to tell you the truth, I don't have much money, and I haven't even found a job yet. "I might have to stay here for quite a few days. Can it be cheaper to stay here?"
"Young man, do you think fifteen yuan is too much?" The woman was obviously surprised. She sighed, "Let me tell you, this room was cleaned by me alone. Tiles were put up, painted, and made for other people to live in. My own bedroom isn't as good as this. Fifteen dollars is really not expensive. "
Lee Yifann was actually very clear about this, but he really did not have much money right now, so he could not afford to waste it. Following the principle of saving energy, he scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I only have a few hundred dollars with me.
"Sigh …" When the woman heard his words, she revealed a look of understanding, "They are all people who only want to live, it's not easy! How about this, since you don't want to live here for a day or two, then it will be cheaper by five yuan, and ten yuan a day should be fine, right? "
"Alright, thank you Auntie!" Lee Yifann heaved a sigh of relief, ten yuan a day would save him a lot of money.
Lee Yifann first paid his a month's lodging fee, three hundred yuan, and carefully stored the remaining money. When the woman received the money, he revealed a happy smile. No matter what, she had earned money.
He packed his things simply, took his luggage to his bedroom and arranged his things. Then, he sat down on the bed and began to meditate.
However, he soon heard strange coughing sounds coming from the bedroom next door while he was meditating.
Cough …
Cough cough …
They were intermittent, some were gentle, and some were intense.
He frowned and jumped down from the bed. He opened the door and shouted, "Auntie!"
The woman rushed over, "Young man, what's the matter?"
"Auntie, is someone sick at home? I just heard someone coughing. " Lee Yifann frowned and asked.
Hearing that, the woman's originally happy face suddenly darkened, "It's my little Child that's sick."
"Is the child sick?" Lee Yifann was startled, "Why don't you go to the hospital to take a look?"
"He went, he didn't look too good!" The woman shook her head with a dejected expression. "You didn't see it properly even after spending all the money. The doctor said there's a problem with your heart and liver, so you should change it …"
If he was going to exchange it, it would cost at least several hundred thousand yuan. To a woman, this was an astronomical figure.
Lee Yifann frowned, he wanted to say something, but a few people suddenly walked into the house.
The three of them were acting very insolently. One glance was enough to tell that they were young men. They walked like octopus crabs as they barged in.
"Yo, there's a guest at Auntie Wang's house?" The young man in the lead, with a head full of provocative Yellow Hair s, jumped in front of the woman and observed her condescendingly.
The woman's expression changed and she quickly tried to please him, "Pao Zi, why are you here? He's not a guest of mine, he's a relative of mine in the country. "
"Bah!" Yellow Hair snorted, he pointed at Lee Yifann, "How is this brat similar to your relative? You opened a small inn and pretended that your father didn't see it today, so he dragged his luggage in? "
"Bian Zi, he really isn't my guest. He's my nephew from the countryside!" The lady looked anxious as she stood in front of Lee Yifann.
"F * ck!" "Cut the crap!" Yellow Hair cursed angrily, "You have a guest here. Quickly hand over this month's protection fee!"
The woman's expression changed, "I, I don't have money …"
"No money? Damn, this brat didn't pay the rent to stay the night, did he? "Stop lying to me!" The Yellow Hair snorted, "Hurry and take out the money! If you don't pay the protection fee, I'll smash your shitty place! "
"I, I really don't have the money …" The woman shook her head.
"F * ck you! Cry for your father's poor mother!" The Yellow Hair was furious and rushed forward to push the lady down, snatching the three hundred yuan worth of cash from Lee Yifann, "I told you you are rich and you dare to say you don't have any!"
The woman became anxious and pounced on Yellow Hair's legs, begging him, "Please, I beg you to give me back the money, Child is sick, I need the money to treat it …"
"Bah!" Yellow Hair kicked her away, "Only three hundred is enough to see my ass! That sick brat of yours, it's fine that he died long ago. Isn't it a fool for him to waste money to see a doctor?! "
The woman started to wail and beg, "Child's sickness requires money to buy medicine, if there is no medicine, he won't be able to live on, I beg you to return the money to me …"
Yellow Hair had an impatient look on his face as he kicked him away, "Scram!"
Lee Yifann hurriedly helped the woman up, "Auntie, how are you? Are you alright? "
The woman's tears fell like rain, "My money, the Child's medical fees …"
Yellow Hair snorted disdainfully as he turned around to leave.
"Halt!" Lee Yifann shouted coldly.
Yellow Hair stopped in his tracks, looked at him with a pair of triangular eyes, and sneered in disdain: "What, brat, you want to meddle in other people's business?"
Lee Yifann gritted his teeth: "Return the money to Aunt Wang!"
"What if I don't? You still want me to spit out the money that came into your father's hands? Do your dreams! " Yellow Hair did not even put Lee Yifann in his eyes.
"Say it again, return the money to Auntie Wang!" Lee Yifann slowly clenched his fists.
Yellow Hair seemed to have heard a funny joke and laughed coldly, "Hahaha! It looks like you two are tired of living! You two, go for me and give me a good beating! Let him know the consequences of meddling in others' business! "
