Don't think about things you don't understand for the time being, not to mention that there is still a month before Chen Ran's repayment deadline, and Lu Shanmin doesn't bother to think about why Wang Dahu is hostile to himself.

Back at the rental house, Zhang Li, Chen Kun and Huang Mei were all there, and Lu Shanmin remembered that tomorrow was Saturday, and Zhang Li didn't have to go to work. However, Chen Kun's work will be busier on weekends, as an English training teacher, Chen Kun will have a full schedule of classes almost every weekend, and Huang Mei's work seems to be busy on weekends, and the two of them have not rested, which makes Lu Shanmin feel a little surprised.

Walking into the living room, the atmosphere in the room was a little cold, the faces of the three of them were not very good, Chen Kun's face was full of dissatisfaction, Zhang Li was a little angry, Huang Mei estimated that she had drunk a lot of wine, and she could smell a smell of wine when she stood at the door, and there was also a trace of dissatisfaction and grievance on her face at this time.

"What's wrong with you", Lu Shanmin asked with some confusion.

"It's time to pay the rent." Chen Kun said lightly, with a hint of indifference in his tone.

It's going to be three months soon, and the rent will be paid once a quarter, of course Lu Shanmin knows, but he doesn't quite understand why the atmosphere of the three of them is so cold.

"There is still half a month to pay the rent, and I will give you 5,000 yuan before the end of the month." Lu Shanmin said

Zhang Li shook her head, "I don't need so much, the landlord came today, the rent of this house is three thousand, and Cousin Chen Kun falsely reported two thousand to us."

Lu Shanmin looked at Chen Kun in surprise, after three months in the East China Sea, Lu Shanmin thought that Chen Kun's cousin might have falsely reported the rent, but he didn't expect her to be able to falsely report so much.

Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly, after that moment of anger and surprise, he felt a lot happier, after all, he couldn't pay the rent so much money in the future.

"Grandpa often said that if you eat a trench and grow wise, you should buy a lesson, which is also a good thing, and we can pay a lot less rent in the future."

Lu Shanmin looked at the three of them, and the expressions of the three of them did not change because of their own persuasion, and even Zhang Li still had an angry expression.

Lu Shanmin frowned and asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Kun took a deep breath and glanced at Lu Shanmin and Huang Mei, "The 2,000 yuan I was cheated of, I will make up for it after I pay my salary this month, and the debt of 50,000 yuan between you and Huang Mei has nothing to do with me."

Lu Shanmin opened his mouth slightly, glanced at Zhang Li, and then understood what was going on, it is estimated that the three of them were discussing the issue of Chen Ran's 50,000 yuan debt just now.

Huang Mei smiled slightly wryly, took out three thousand yuan from her bag and still put it on the coffee table, "This is the rent for the next quarter, I will bear the trouble I caused, so you don't have to worry about it." After that, he walked into the bedroom.

Zhang Li looked at Chen Kun coldly, "I thought that after what happened last time, you would be more mature and responsible, it seems that you are still the cowardly and incompetent Chen Kun."

Chen Kun sneered helplessly, facing Zhang Li, he had very complicated emotions in his heart, on the one hand, he had a crush on this girl, and on the other hand, he knew that Zhang Li would never fall in love with him.

"That's 50,000 yuan, not 500 yuan, if I have 50,000 yuan on me, I will not hesitate to take it out to help Huangmei, but do I have it?"

Chen Kun stared at Zhang Li, and his emotions gradually became a little excited, "I was almost forced to death by two thousand yuan."

"Zhang Li, this is not in school, this is in a world where the law of the jungle is emphasized, righteousness, backbone, can be worth a few dollars, you go and ask the general manager of KTV, see if he can talk to you about righteousness, backbone."

"You're using strong words." Zhang Li said fiercely.

Chen Kun smiled bitterly, "I know you look down on me, you have always looked down on me, but I want to tell you that I am not a ruthless and unrighteous person, I want to tell you that I get up early and work hard day and night, for what, just to live, you want me to do charity, yes, if one day I become a rich man, I will not hesitate to do charity, but you ask a person who can't even support himself to do charity, don't you think it's too much?"

Zhang Li trembled with anger, gritted her teeth and said, "Huang Mei is your classmate for four years."

"Hehe, so what, Li Jing is still my cousin, although she is a distant cousin, she is still a relative, don't you see her means? This is the East China Sea, this is society, Zhang Li, I advise you to wake up too."

After speaking, he looked at Lu Shanmin: "Shanmin, you just came out of the mountains, and you still retain a rare 'pure heart', these four words are very beautiful when you put them in the books." But in real society, it's stupid. I know you're a good person, and I thank you for your kindness, but sometimes good people don't necessarily do good things, and if you hadn't messed up at the time, you wouldn't have the huge debt you have today."

Lu Shanmin looked at Chen Kun lightly, without the slightest anger, and shook his head, "Brother Kun, you have your reason, and I don't think your reason is bad, but if I go back to that time, I will still make a move." As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Li again: "Sister Li, don't force Brother Kun anymore in this matter, he also has his difficulties, and I will find a way to solve the trouble I caused."

Zhang Li smiled bitterly, "Actually, I'm not angry, I just feel cold, it's only been a few months since I graduated from college, how can I feel that so many years have passed, and I have changed so much."

A trace of shame flashed on Chen Kun's face, just like he said, if he had 50,000 yuan, he believed that he would take it out, but now he can't do it, he can't bear it, and he feels very uncomfortable in the face of the double torture of reality and soul.

"I have to go to work tomorrow, I'll sleep first", Chen Kun got up, turned around and walked into his bedroom.

Zhang Li lowered her head, her face was full of sadness, she was originally a very beautiful girl, but in the past few months, Lu Shanmin hadn't seen her smile much. In the past, when he was in the mountains, if any man made his own woman sad every day, he would be looked down upon by the whole village, although he and Zhang Li met in Pingshui, but now after all, they also live under the same roof, Lu Shanmin's idea is very simple, as a man, he should not let the women around him be sad all day.

"Sister Li, you don't have to worry too much, there will be a way."

Zhang Li shook her head, "Mountain people, there is still a month to go, it's too late."

"Since last month, after I became familiar with the work, I worked overtime to help people translate documents, I calculated, even if I added overtime pay, I could only get more than 5,000 yuan this month, Huang Mei also asked, some time ago she signed a big order, the commission is more than 6,000, plus salary, you can get about 13,000 this month, you are now about 10,000 a month, and there is only more than 30,000 yuan in the next month, and we have to pay rent at the end of this month, we still have to eat, we have at least 30,000 yuan."

Lu Shanmin nodded, thought for a while and said, "Isn't there still a month to go? You don't have to be too anxious, you still have time to figure out a way."

Zhang Li smiled bitterly, "Mountain people, you are always so optimistic."

Lu Shanmin grinned: "There is an old god stick in the mountain, who used to always like to say, 'Five words floating in the sky, that's not a thing'."

Zhang Li smiled, "He must be a very wise person."

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "He is the laziest, dirtiest and most shameless person in our village, but he is also the one who smiles the most." "Sister Li, you should smile more, you look much better when you laugh than the old god stick."

Zhang Li stroked her hair, a hint of blush flashed on her face, and she smiled slightly, "Shanmin, rest early, you have to go to work at the construction site tomorrow."

On the construction site for almost a month, in addition to the coolies to move bricks and sand and ash, under the careful observation of Lu Shanmin, he gradually learned to lay bricks and walls, with Lu Shanmin's physical strength, after doing miscellaneous work, occasionally can spare some time, using these time, Lu Shanmin will also help the 'masters' to build bricks and lay walls, Chen Dali looks at Lu Shanmin is more and more satisfied, Lu Shanmin does the work, far beyond the salary he deserves, and is also happy to teach Lu Shanmin some handicrafts. No matter what kind of work, Lu Shanmin can almost learn it as soon as he learns, and several 'masters' praise Lu Shanmin for his high understanding and flexible mind. In fact, it's not that Lu Shanmin is really smart, he has been paying close attention to the work in the hands of the 'masters' for nearly a month, plus he can bear hardships and stand hard work, and he naturally learns quickly without caring about doing these extra jobs.

After a period of rush work, the whole building has risen from the ground, and now it has been successfully capped, the work done these days is some outer powder and inner powder, at the end of the day, the body is full of sand mortar, and even the face is covered with a big flower face.

When he got off work in the afternoon, walking out of the building, Lu Shanmin walked to Chen Dali's side. Said a little embarrassed

"Uncle Dali, I want to tell you something."

Chen Dali smiled, "What's the matter"?

"Look at this month's salary"?

The smile on Chen Dali's face became a little embarrassed, for several months in a row, the contractor only paid some living expenses, did not pay the salary, and he did not get the money himself.

"Mountain people, you may not know much about the things on the construction site, under normal circumstances, it will not be settled on a monthly basis, but only pay some living expenses in advance, and the rest of the money will not be settled until the Chinese New Year or the end of the project."

Seeing Chen Dali's embarrassed expression, Lu Shanmin knew that what he said was the truth, and he had heard from his co-workers about this situation some time ago.

Lu Shanmin touched his head embarrassedly, "It's okay, I'm just asking, don't go to your heart."

Chen Dali patted Lu Shanmin's shoulder, "You are very good, don't worry, uncle will never cheat you, I don't have any money with me now, tomorrow I will take 2,000 yuan for you as living expenses, and as long as the contractor hair comes down, I will give it to you."

Lu Shanmin smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Strong."

The two walked towards the outside of the construction site, and not far away, a limousine stopped on the auxiliary road outside the construction site. A strange woman walked down from the car, the reason why it is strange is because she wears a pair of exaggerated sunglasses, which can almost cover half of her face, so that people can't see her face clearly, and she is also wearing a dark black coat, although it is autumn, but it is not cold enough to wear an overcoat.

As a hunter, when he sees strange people and things, he habitually likes to observe, Lu Shanmin stared at the woman in a daze, and the person also turned his head, although he was wearing sunglasses, with the hunter's intuition, Lu Shanmin could feel that the other party was also looking at him. Lu Shanmin couldn't help but sigh, at such a distance, the person could actually feel that someone was looking at her. I am more vigilant, that is because of the habit of hunting for many years, and a woman on the other side can have such vigilance, which makes Lu Shanmin feel a little surprised.
