Chapter 13: The Poor Alley

Someone ran and splashed the cheongsam on her, "Little cherry? It's raining! You're ......."

Little Cherry stood on her tiptoes and put the umbrella she was holding on her head, "Madame! Aren't you also in the rain? ”

Chen Xin listened to Xiao Cherry's concerned tone, her heart was warm, and she took out a handkerchief to help her wipe the rain off her face.

"Ma'am, have you found a place to go?"

"Not yet."

Chen Xin was a little confused, although she didn't know why, maybe it was because of Chen Aihua that he let her go, but at this moment, it could be regarded as a run, and she was still very afraid that Shen Yiwen would torture her again.

Little Cherry carefully took out the money from her clothes pocket and wrapped it in a floral cloth.

Chen Xin knew what she wanted to do when she saw this, but Xiao Cherry stuffed the money and umbrella into her hands without saying a word, and then quickly ran back to the Shen compound.

The umbrella was not plugged and fell to the ground, the rain wet Chen Xin's hair, she looked at the disappearing back and smiled dumbly, and sighed silently: "Thank you." ”

Looking at the unpretentious red cloth in his hand, his eyes instantly wet.

Suddenly, a car drove past her arrogantly, splashing water head-on Chen Xin because of the speed being too fast, and she was soaking wet.

Shen Yiwen sat in the car without squinting, and when Chen Xin raised his eyes, he only saw his cold side face, and he was stunned for a moment with a wry smile on his face, and leaned down to pick up the umbrella on the ground.

Wiping the rain from his face with his hands, he hugged his bags and walked away.

Chen Xin came to the vicinity of the orphanage, she planned to find a place to settle here, so that she could often pass by the orphanage, and if she was lucky, she could even see Xiaoxiao playing in the yard!

Due to the rainy weather, there were almost no people on the street, so she came to an alley and wanted to rent a place to live, and an aunt happened to be out of the house.

Chen Xin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, hello, is there a house for rent here?" ”

The aunt looked her up and down, she didn't look like a poor family, why was she so embarrassed, it seemed that she should be a down-and-out lady.

"Not here, but there's a house at the end of the alley, and it's full of tenants."

"Okay, thank you!"

Chen Xin was very excited, no matter what the environment was, she didn't care, she was satisfied with a place that was not exposed to the wind and sun.

I couldn't help but feel very relaxed, and after a while, I came to a row of houses, the houses here are all connected, and most of the people who live here are some small traders, newspaper sellers, and some people at the bottom.

Chen Xin looked at the surrounding environment, and it was probably the two-story small attic in front of her, because she saw that the first floor was a large collective kitchen, and many women were sharing cooking.

She put away her umbrella and stepped in, her arrival still attracted everyone's attention, Chen Xin lowered her head weakly, afraid that others would recognize her.

The woman whispered as an old man with a cigarette pouch saw her bag and knew what she was here for.

"Renting a house? Only the room next to me on the second floor is empty, 2 oceans a month. ”

Chen Xin was very excited when she heard that there was a house, but when she heard the house money, she was worried, her entire net worth was not enough for an ocean, and her face was embarrassed.

"Uncle, can it be cheaper? I don't have that much money. ”

"No money? Then how much money do you have! ”

Hearing Chen Xin say that there is no money, she was impatient in an instant, and she shook her hand irritably to push her away, Chen Xin looked at the floral cloth in her hand, which was given to her by Xiao Cherry, and it was also her entire net worth.

The uncle saw that she hesitated, and snatched it directly like a robber, counted it, and was obviously satisfied, but there was a look of disgust on his face.

"Then I'll do it, okay, I'll rent you for so much money." Then he waved her hand and asked her to carry her luggage upstairs.

Chen Xin knew that she was cheated, and all the tenants around her remained silent, and no one wanted to offend the landlord and live on the street because of her.

She nodded, and was led by the landlord to a small room, where she needed to go to the collective bathhouse for bathing, and cooking was also a collective kitchen. Chen Xin touched a handful of tables, and there were still black oil stains on it, mixed with other things I don't know.

Looking around, a small bed took up almost the entire room, she patted the dust, and lay down in her tired clothes.

"It's finally time to rest."

The tense nerves eased, and gradually felt the weight of his eyelids, and Chen Xin fell asleep.

However, at this moment, in the wall, one eye is full of evil and secretly stares at her! When Chen Xin woke up, it was already dark, and there were already sporadic house lights outside the window.

The feeling of homesickness suddenly poured into my heart, the happy past with my parents when I was a child, the bits and pieces of getting along with Shen Yiwen when I was a child, and her daughter Xiaoxiao, all the happiness and beauty seemed to be a dream.

At this moment, the dream was shattered, and there was only one lonely darkness, Chen Xin closed his eyes again, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

After a while, Chen Xin struggled, her body still felt as uncomfortable as carrying a thousand pounds of stones, and she lit the candle on the table, there was no electric light in this house.

Suddenly she felt something strange, as if someone was staring at her, Chen Xin carefully looked around but found nothing, she sat on the chair with a sigh of relief and drank a sip of water.

Chen Xin took another cheongsam and went to the bathhouse to freshen up, the conditions here were naturally very simple, and the women seemed to be particularly curious about her, Chen Xin ignored no one, avoiding anyone's inquiry.

"Why are you so difficult to get along with?"

"It's just that you don't pay attention to the question, do you look down on this place because you're young and beautiful?"

"Do you feel like you've seen her there, though?"

"Don't say it, I feel this way too, but I can't remember it."

Hearing the whispers of the three or two women, Chen Xinxiu tightened her eyebrows, quickly packed up her things and left, and when she returned to the room and closed the door, she breathed a deep sigh of relief.

They probably all saw her in the newspapers, and they used to ...... Chen Xin loves to publicize the most, and the newspaper is naturally one of her stages, reporting her excellent deeds in various ways, but there are only accusations behind her.

Little Cherry stole an ointment to Chen Xin, Chen Xin's injuries on her body were really much better, her clothes were half-faded and leaked out of her smooth and white back, and she vaguely felt that someone was staring at her, Chen Xin hurriedly put away her clothes and turned around! At the same time, I heard a sound of broken water glasses, which seemed to come from the landlord's room next door.

Chen Xin walked to the wall, but there was still nothing different, she sighed, it is estimated that her nerves have been too tense recently, but she did not take it lightly, and after drinking a pot of water to resist hunger, she still slept in her clothes.

The next day, before dawn, Chen Xin woke up, she had to look for work today, otherwise she would really have to go hungry.

As soon as he went out, he actually bumped into the uncle next door at the door, and saw Chen Xin hurriedly turn around, with a little panic on his face.

"Hehe, I'm out so early!"

The tone was kind, but Chen Xin felt inexplicably disgusted, she nodded, and left quickly without planning to be too enthusiastic.

But the landlord actually took her hand and didn't let her go!

“? What do you do here? Chen Xin shook it off vigorously, looking guarded.
