Chapter 144: The Lowest Level of Society
Chapter 144 The lowest level of society
Three years later.
For the past three years, Iman has lived a 9-to-5 life. She worries about making ends meet every day, but she never regrets her decision. In this way, she can let go of those tired hearts. So there is less complaining and more understanding.
Only this kind of life can say goodbye to everything in the past, and Iman is now a clear one. is no longer the daughter who stretches her hand with her mouth and clothes, nor will she be a down-and-out girl who is sometimes held in the palm of her hand and sometimes trampled under her feet. She needs to constantly worry about her livelihood, and her life is just to live.
The night is dark, and when you look up, you can almost see bright or dark stars in the sky. In this unknown town, the stars are extraordinarily bright at night. The low houses can't block the Suhua pouring in the sky. Such a scene is rarely seen in a bustling city.
However, Iman did not have the leisure to look at the stars, she wrapped her coat tightly, and dragged her almost overdrawn body back to her ten-square-meter home. As soon as he kicked off his high heels, he heard a knock on the door. There were a series of rapid knocks on the door, like a rattle for life, and Iman instantly felt that his head was big.
This month's rent is due again, and Iman scratches his head in distress and loses a lot of good words, but he is extremely dissatisfied with the landlord's aunt.
"Yu Qing, won't you save a little money from travel all day to pay rent! You've been living with me for half a year, and you don't know what your aunt is doing to you. If you don't pay rent this month, you can move out. ”
Iman was quite helpless, but the landlord was telling the truth, what was the use of helplessness, she had to be cheeky and said: "Okay, good, I will definitely work hard to hand it in these days." ”
Such a scene has appeared more than once, as the landlord aunt said, she used all the money for travel and relaxation, but she couldn't even pay the rent. This room is barely 10 square meters, probably the smallest room. But even this smallest room has become a luxury for her. Sometimes life is so hard, and Iman has to face the tribulations of life for the sake of so-called freedom.
By the way, what did Aunt Rent say just now, she has been living here for half a year, and it's time to live in a new place.
Thinking of this, Iman desperately threw himself on her little bed, anyway, sleep first and then talk!
Iman's job is not fixed, she doesn't like the things in the office, and she can't deal with them, so she can only do some odd jobs. For example, going to a restaurant to wash dishes, handing out flyers, etc., although it is tiring, it is enough to make ends meet.
In the blink of an eye, she couldn't remember what she was like three years ago. The things she worries about every day are eating and traveling. After working for one day, Iman would not go out for two or three days until he had spent the money, and then he would look for other ways to earn money.
Days like this are getting harder and harder day by day, and Iman is a little used to it.
Moreover, Iman never stopped too much in one place, at first he was afraid of the entanglement of that person, and in the end he was used to such casualness. I haven't heard from that person for a long time, so I'm afraid Iman has long forgotten about it.
Time takes everything, and forgetting is the best medicine for trauma.
In the middle of the night, Iman suddenly woke up, she was hungry, and then she remembered that she had not eaten dinner at all. She sat up and realized that her eyes were bright. Iman was taken aback, and then despised his forgetfulness. She turned on the lights every day and night, and she even forgot about it.
She hates the night, is afraid of the loneliness and loneliness brought by the night, and is afraid that the secrets brought by the night will be ruthlessly revealed. But now she forgot all about her fears.
This kind of life made Iman feel a little indescribable wry, she was only twenty-five years old, she was still so young, why couldn't she remember.
Iman got up and cooked instant noodles for himself, and when he put the oil, he found that the oil was gone, and when he went to get the salt, he found that the salt had bottomed out. Iman simply put all the condiments into the noodles, and then threw away all the bottles and jars.
Even these guys are going to drive her away, forget it, just pack up tomorrow and get out.
Iman lowered his head and ate the noodles, and there were too many ingredients, which was really unpalatable. But Iman still ate it in one go, and she didn't know how many times she experienced this kind of taste of returning to the pre-liberation period overnight. But it's already good to be full, where else can she ask for.
After eating, Iman suddenly felt that she didn't know what to do, and in the middle of the night she turned on her little antique slap-sized TV. The Midnight Theater was broadcasting the movie made by Yue Jingyan, and when she saw half of it, Iman felt that she missed Jingyan a little. But Yue Jingyan is doing well, and she is thriving in the entertainment industry, and there is no need for Iman to see her.
In fact, missing someone doesn't necessarily have to see each other at all, as long as you know that the other person is doing well.
When he thought of this, Iman felt relieved, after three years, Xiong Xiong must have already cultivated with pork ribs, and Han Tong may also have children. Her friends are doing well, so that's fine.
Like a little fool, Iman laughed when he looked at it. Living at the bottom of her life, she is satisfied with herself in her heart. Even the small packet of instant noodles seems to be exceptionally delicious.
Iman turned off the TV, got back on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and went back to sleep.
Iman woke up early the next morning, and she had been waking up very early every day for the past three years, even when she wasn't working to earn money. She is not in good health, so she gets up early every day to run and breathe fresh air, which can be regarded as saving a lot of money for treatment. She lives alone, and what she is most afraid of is getting sick, and no one will know if she dies in the house.
However, Iman didn't go for a run that day, and she got up early in the morning to pack up her things and leave the hellish place. However, after packing up for a long time, Iman realized that Iman had nothing but two clothes, an antique TV, a bottle of treasure, and only 200 yuan.
Before leaving, Iman also made a special call to the landlord and aunt, saying that she would never default on the rent again. The landlord and aunt can't wait for her to go, this girl is alone, and there is no legitimate industry, maybe it will be a big trouble, and she will be relieved to leave quickly.
Iman tightened the two hundred dollars in his pocket and walked away in high spirits. In fact, she was also at a loss, where was she going.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and Iman confidently often sets off from the station. She chose a more reasonable price and sat in the car.
In this way, Iman arrived in a strange city again, and when she got out of the car, she only had a hundred dollars left. It's getting dark, and I can't even afford to live in a hotel for a hundred dollars. Iman still didn't care, found a nearby KFC store, and ordered a Coke.
Holding this glass of Coke, Iman's day passed for another day.
The waiter at night was somewhat in good spirits, and Iman was also sleepy, but she touched the dozens of dollars in her pocket and felt that she was about to reach the point of exhaustion, and had to be cheeky to be a waiter.
Fortunately, Iman is also a person with rich experience, and he helped overnight, but he was forced to stay as a regular job by the store manager. Anyway, Iman had nowhere to go, so he reluctantly lived here first.
Iman was assigned to a two-person apartment in a dormitory, which looked much better than the ten-square-meter room she lived in. There was a girl in her early twenties, and Iman didn't feel anything special about her appearance. It's just that her explosive head looks quite murderous to Matt.
Iman really wanted to fall asleep, but then she realized that she didn't even have a mattress except for the dozens of dollars in her pocket. It also embarrassed her. So she made do with it and fell asleep on the couch.
After sleeping for less than an hour, the cold wind around him woke up Iman. Iman narrowed his scarlet, sleepy eyes, and realized that it was the "Kill Matt" who was blowing his hair on a hair dryer.
"Kill Matt" was very friendly, and smiled at Iman: "Awake? Let's hang out together, right? ”
In the past three years, Iman has not even had anyone by his side, and suddenly there is an extra roommate, and Iman doesn't know how to get along. She laughed in a friendly way, "That...... You go first, I'll go buy a quilt later. By the way, do you know where things are cheaper, the cheaper the better. ”
"Kill Matt" immediately put on an expression of "ask me, even if you ask the right person", "Let's go, I'll take you there." ”
In this way, Iman was forcibly dragged to the wholesale market, and was taken by "Kill Matt" on a broken tram.
"Hey, my name is Su Yi, your name is Yu Qing, right?"
With a fierce wind in his ears, and hearing such a homely question, Iman seemed to feel a trace of life.
"Well, let's call Sister Qing."
"Why did you come here to work?"
"Life is compelling."
"And what did you do before?"
"Unemployed vagrants, by the way, are you here to investigate your hukou?"
Kill Matt laughed, and the voice of the laugh was particularly hearty, the kind of smile that you can't help but laugh when you hear her laugh.
When I arrived at the wholesale market, Iman felt that he had come to the right place. A mattress costs just over 20 yuan, and a blanket is even cheaper. She weighed the money in her pocket and bought two mattresses and a blanket. The rest can also buy toothbrushes and toothpaste.
Su couldn't stand it anymore, she showed a strong shock, this person is really forced by life, and he has reached the point of being stretched. She carried three points of ridicule and two points of concern, "Sister Qing, are you here to flee?" ”
