Chapter 15 Cornered

When I returned to the rental house and lay on the sofa, I wondered why the other party was dissatisfied after she kindly helped Sister Wang with her kindness. I didn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, and finally I had to shake my head helplessly and stop thinking about it.

Early the next morning, after sending the purchased dishes to the barbecue restaurant, Lu Shanmin didn't bother to clean and wash the vegetables in the store, and went back to the rental house to make up for sleep. Zhang Li should have an interview this morning, and Huang Mei has been swiping up recruitment information on the Internet recently, and she usually has to sleep until noon before getting up.

I don't know how long I slept, but the sound of opening the door woke Lu Shanmin from his sleep, and he sat up, it turned out that Zhang Li had come back from the interview.

Rubbing his eyes, he asked, "Sister Li, did the interview go well?"

Zhang Li smiled and nodded, stretching out two fingers to make a victory gesture.

"I'll be officially going to work tomorrow as an administrative assistant in the External Relations Department. ”

Lu Shanmin didn't understand what the position of administrative assistant in the external relations department was, but it sounded very good.

"Congratulations, Sister Li, you are so amazing."

Zhang Li hung her backpack behind the door, "It's nothing bad, I'm just in charge of translating some simple materials." ”

During this period of time, Lu Shanmin knew that Zhang Li and the three of them studied English, and in Lu Shanmin's mind, it was definitely a great thing to be able to understand foreign languages. When Bai Ling was in junior high school, he returned to Mazui Village on weekends, and occasionally spoke a few words of English in front of him.

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Sister Li, you are too modest, you can understand foreign words, and you can speak foreign words, isn't it amazing."

Zhang Li sat on a stool and poured a glass of water, and said with a smile: "In the eyes of foreigners, Chinese is much more difficult than English.

While the two were talking, Huang Mei walked out of my bedroom with her fluffy hair and yawning.

"You're back, have you had an interview?"

Zhang Li hummed, Huang Mei screamed, rushed over and hugged Zhang Li and kissed her. "Honey, you're amazing".

Zhang Li wiped her saliva with a smile, "Pay attention to the image, the mountain people are still here." ”

Lu Shanmin just smirked, Zhang Li found a job, which is a great thing for the four of them, at least in the short term, everyone doesn't have to worry about life anymore.

Huang Mei glanced at Lu Shanmin with a smile, "It's not suitable for children, don't look at indecent things."

The three of them were in a good mood, talking and laughing, and after a simple lunch, Lu Shanmin told his doubts about last night, thinking that Zhang Li and Huang Mei are college students, educated and knowledgeable, maybe they can know the reason.

After listening to what Lu Shanmin said, Huang Mei thought about it for a long time and didn't understand why she angered the other party even though she was helping Sister Wang to work. In the end, it only came down to the fact that the old aunt had reached menopause, and asked Lu Shanmin to deal less with her.

Although they are all recent college graduates and have not officially entered the workplace, due to family reasons, Zhang Li has been going out to work to subsidize her family during the winter and summer vacations since high school, which can be regarded as having some social experience.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Li seemed to think of something, and asked rhetorically: "Shanmin, if you are the boss, when you find that you only need one person to do the work in your store, will you hire another person?"

Lu Shanmin frowned, and suddenly realized, "So that's the case, Sister Wang is afraid that I will rob her of her job."

Zhang Li nodded, "Even if she doesn't lose her job, she has less work to do, and your boss will definitely reduce her salary when he finds out."

While the three of them were talking, Chen Kun's face turned pale and he stumbled into the house.

Zhang Li chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, aren't you supposed to be at work now, why did you come back so early?"

Chen Kun sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette with trembling hands, and didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Shanmin glanced at Zhang Li with some concern, Zhang Li's heart had fallen to the bottom at the moment, and he tried his best to comfort himself, only hoping that his worries would not become a reality.

Lu Shanmin secretly said badly, could it really be that he was hit by the old god's words, and his steps were too big.

After being silent for a few minutes, Zhang Li finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you have something to say?"

Chen Kun lowered his head, his face was full of shame, and slapped himself in the face: "It's all my fault." ”

"Ah, it's really," Lu Shanmin couldn't help blurting out.

Zhang Li and Huang Mei didn't think about what Lu Shanmin's words meant, they were just stunned by such a thing, the two thousand yuan was the living expenses of four people this month.

Zhang Li pulled Chen Kun up, "Let's go, let's go ask for money." ”

Chen Kun shook off Zhang Li's hand, tears burst out of his eyes, and he shouted hoarsely: "It's useless, the door was locked when I went this morning, and the building was already empty." ”

Zhang Li roared angrily: "Then we will call the police." ”

Chen Kun sat on the sofa to hide his face and cry, "There are dozens of people who have been deceived, and when we found that something was wrong, we called the police in the morning, and the police have filed a case for investigation, let us wait for news."

Zhang Li frowned angrily, sat on the stool, Huang Mei was also shocked and overwhelmed, now Huang Mei only has two or three hundred yuan of public money left in her hand, which is enough for a few days' living expenses for four people at most, and she has to pay water and electricity bills at the end of the month, Lu Shanmin and Zhang Li only found a job, at least until next month to get their wages, during this time they are looking for jobs everywhere, and they have little money left. Now, even if you eat porridge and pickles every day, you can only survive for a week at most. was still waiting for the 2,000 yuan borrowed by Chen Kun to come back next week to survive, but now it was all lost.

Lu Shanmin's brows were furrowed, his eyes were angry and fierce, as a mountain man who hunted diligently for a living, he couldn't understand how there could be such a wolf-hearted person in this world, who even dared to cheat others with the least food money.

The joints of Lu Shanmin's hands clicked, but the strength of his body could not find a place to vent.

Chen Kun kept his head down and sobbed in a low voice, his whole person was like a deflated ball, completely devoid of his former vigor.

The air in the room was lifeless, so oppressive that only the sound of breathing could be heard, and everyone was silent for a while, three college students who had just graduated, and one mountain man who had just come out of the mountains, no one had any idea in the face of such a reality.

Huang Mei shouted vigorously, "What should I do now"?

Chen Kun stood up weakly and slowly walked to his room, "I will find a way to pay back these two thousand yuan", and slammed the door behind him.

Huang Mei angrily yelled at Chen Kun's door, "You can find a way, this is our life money this month." ”

Zhang Li sighed and looked at Lu Shanmin, who gritted his teeth and looked fierce, " Mountain people, don't blame Chen Kun, how can a rich and powerful person in the family go into the outside world alone with a bag like us, a few of us can't rely on our parents, we can't rely on friends, only on ourselves, although Chen Kun owes a little bit, in fact, the essence is not bad, his family background is not good, his parents are farmers, and he has planted the land all his life, that is, a few years ago, his father went to the city as a part-time worker to provide him with college, but he also fell ill, the reason why he wants to be in the limelight everywhere is because he has been looked down on for too long and wants to prove himself in a hurry。 ”

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I hate the people who cheated money, those who were deceived were all people who were as eager to find a job as we were, and the situation was estimated to be similar to ours, and those scammers actually drove so many people to a dead end for their own selfishness." ”
