Chapter 024: Difficult Decisions

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening, but Zhang Yadong did not go home, but wandered in the small streets of the wine city, in the night market; Zhang Yadong had not eaten for almost a whole day, and he was hungry and screamed, but looking at the restaurants in front of him, the rows of snack stalls, and thinking about the banknotes in his pocket, Zhang Yadong did not dare to go in.

'Money is not everything, but no money is everything!' Zhang Yadong didn't believe this sentence originally, but now he has to believe it.

'A dollar can force a tough guy to death!' Zhang Yadong never believed that money would force a living man to death, but now Zhang Yadong feels that he is a little forced to a dead end.

With a look of helplessness, Zhang Yadong walked into a small shop, bought two loaves of bread for two yuan, and then turned around and left, but stopped just a few steps, and his eyes were attracted by a familiar figure in the alley in the distance.

It was the figure of a woman, the figure was busy working, sweating profusely cleaning the dishes and chopsticks; that figure was very familiar, that figure Zhang Yadong knew, it was none other than Zhou Zhilan, a female college student who met in the "Zero" nightclub that day.

"Zhou Zhilan?" Zhang Yadong called out, hid the bread in his hand behind him, and walked quickly to Zhou Zhilan's side. "Why are you here?" In fact, Zhang Yadong knew why Zhou Zhilan was here, for money, for his younger brother's college tuition, but it was only in the middle of the night, but he was still a student, and he had to go to school tomorrow......

"Brother Zhang, it's you!" Zhou Zhilan raised her head, without any embarrassed expression on her face, and even showed a hint of excitement. "I'm working here, hehe. What about you, why haven't you come home so late?"

"I ...... I just came out to wander around, I ......" Zhang Yadong felt a sour place in his heart, Zhang Yadong didn't know how to explain, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by another voice.

"Xiao Zhou, hurry up, there are not enough dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen!" A man's head stuck out of it and shouted angrily at Zhou Zhilan. "What's the matter with you, why are you still chatting with others during work hours, you're too lazy!

"Don't, boss, I'll do it, I'll do it!" Zhou Zhilan looked nervous, and after finishing speaking, she hurriedly squatted down and continued to clean the dishes and chopsticks in the basin.

Zhang Yadong didn't speak, just said hello to Zhou Zhilan and turned around and left; Zhang Yadong didn't go home, just finished nibbling the two breads in his hand, and then continued to wander around the night market. Zhang Yadong didn't go far, almost just wandering around, looking at Zhou Zhilan who was busy from time to time.

Zhou Zhilan's simplicity, encounters, and personality made Zhang Yadong feel deeply, and Zhang Yadong naturally remembered Wen Jing. Zhang Yadong just couldn't figure it out in his heart: why is there such a big difference between Wen Jing and Zhou Zhilan who are both women, one is born in happiness and doesn't know how to cherish everything in front of him, while the other is still in trouble and struggling for his studies, for his younger brother, and for life.

Zhang Yadong didn't go home until after three o'clock in the morning, until the guests dispersed and the night stalls closed, and Zhang Yadong walked up slowly after Zhou Zhilan was busy with everything.

"Zhou Zhilan, you ...... You got off work so late?" Zhang Yadong was in an unusually heavy mood, Zhang Yadong knew that Zhou Zhilan would not dare to go to work in entertainment venues, but she would not talk about the hard work when she worked in the night stall, but how to get up tomorrow and how to go to school.

"Brother Zhang, haven't you gone back yet?" Zhou Zhilan was actually very tired, but due to Zhang Yadong's appearance, her face showed an excited expression again.

"I ...... I mean, you're still in school tomorrow, and you're working so late......"

"Hehe, it's okay, it's good to get used to it!" Zhou Zhilan smiled and behaved very relaxedly, in fact, in her heart......

"How much money does your boss give you a month?"

"Eight hundred, although it is very small, but you don't have to go to work during the day, it's just at night. ”

"Eight hundred?" Zhang Yadong smiled coldly, although the money was not much, but he knew how important the salary of eight hundred yuan was to Zhou Zhilan, and how much it would cost, and even ruin his studies and future.

"Okay, okay, Brother Zhang, don't worry about me, I'm very satisfied with this job, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Zhang Yadong looked anxious, and wanted to help Zhou Zhilan in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

"It's just that in a few days the school will be closed, and no one can live, and ...... And I can't live where I work......" Indeed, Zhou Zhilan can endure hardships and is very satisfied with her salary of 800 yuan a month, but the place where she lives is ...... If you still have to rent a house, you have to pay rent......

"Where to live?" Zhang Yadong has no money, and now Zhang Yadong is even poorer than Zhou Zhilan, but Zhang Yadong wants to help the little girl in front of him, but when he thinks of where he lives, he thinks of having two bedrooms...... "I'll help you find a way to live, but it's a little far from here." ”

"Really?" Hearing Zhang Yadong say this, Zhou Zhilan immediately showed an excited expression on her face, but then an embarrassed expression appeared on her face. "It's just...... I just don't know if it's going to be inconvenient?"

"Inconvenient?" Zhang Yadong also showed an embarrassed expression on his face, after all, he is still a college student, and he is still a big girl, and he lives with his own big man...... "Zhou Zhilan, don't worry, I ...... I'm not that kind of person, I ...... My house has two bedrooms and you can ......"

"No, no!" Zhou Zhilan hurriedly interrupted Zhang Yadong's words. "Brother Zhang, I didn't mean that, I meant ...... Is your wife going to ......?"

"Wife?" Zhang Yadong smiled coldly, as if he didn't understand what Zhou Zhilan meant until now. "I'm not married yet, where is my wife?"

"Huh?" Zhou Zhilan looked surprised, but her heart ...... At least the embarrassed expression on his face was more obvious, at least there was a hint of blush on his face, at least a ripple in his heart.

Considering that Zhou Zhilan still has to go to school tomorrow, Zhang Yadong reached out and stopped a taxi and sent Zhou Zhilan to the gate of Jiudu Normal College, and left slowly after Zhou Zhilan walked into the school gate, did not dare to call a taxi again, and had to walk back, because the only twenty yuan on his body had been spent on the taxi just now.

When Zhang Yadong returned home, it was almost five o'clock in the morning, but he didn't feel the slightest sleepiness when he fell on the bed.

Zhang Yadong didn't know why Li Chenggang was so good to himself, why he had to keep himself by Wen Jing's side; Zhang Yadong actually didn't hate Wen Jing so much, but he didn't know Li Chenggang's intentions, and he didn't know if Li Chenggang wanted to use himself, so Zhang Yadong didn't want to go back and didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs......

Zhang Yadong doesn't love money, but when he thinks of his mother's surgery fee, what happened to Zhou Zhilan, the place in front of him, and the only thing he can help Zhou Zhilan is to provide a place for the other party to live...... Zhang Yadong let out a long sigh and made a difficult decision in his heart, that is, according to Li Chenggang's meaning, tomorrow, no, it should be said that today, this morning will go to Wen Dabao's villa.
