Two-one-three
In this way, I finally looked forward to going to work, but I didn't go to work for a few days before I was idle again.
That's when the court came and told me to pay the prosecution fee. Since I didn't go to work, I didn't have to ask for leave, and I didn't delay for a while after receiving the notice, and I went to teach right away. I live not too far from the courthouse, less than an hour away. I can't get through the doors of the courthouse. It is to stand outside the gate, and the judge is inside the gate. After I paid the prosecution fee, the judge asked me if I could ask Zhang Xu to vacate the house, and then he didn't let me ask for money.
I told him no, because I had rented a house outside for more than a year, not only did I spend a lot of money, but also suffered a lot of crimes, and I also communicated with him at the beginning, as long as I was allowed to live in, I would not occupy the room fee, but he did not agree, since this is the case, how can I sue must give me rent money.
I can see that the judge is all towards Zhang Xu in his heart. It's not just him, it's the previous ones. Maybe they listened to Zhang Xu's words and thought that all the fault was me, right? It is also possible that Zhang Xu said that he is a local, and I am a foreigner, so everyone will look towards him and not towards me.
No matter what the reason is, I can feel it when the judge is facing Zhang Xu anyway.
After I came back from the court, I didn't go anywhere else but went straight back to where I rented my apartment. When I got to the yard, I saw a man renting a house opposite washing clothes in the yard. When he saw me, he quickly asked me, "Are you off work?" ”
"Yes." I didn't tell him I was going to court because there was no need to talk to him. In the past, if I knew that he was at home, I would not dare to go out of the house, so I tried not to meet him. For I could see in his gaze what he was trying to do with me.
I don't know if he's single, or if he's working here by himself, and his daughter-in-law is in his hometown. Anyway, since I lived in this courtyard, I haven't seen a woman in his house. He probably guessed that he was single, so I could feel that he was always in the room looking for an opportunity to meet or talk to me.
Now I don't dare to contact any man, and I even have to be careful when I speak, for fear that others will misunderstand. I don't want to look for a man anymore, and I don't want to gossip, after all, there is a saying that "there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door". A single woman like me must be careful everywhere.
I will try to hide from men who have no intentions for me, let alone someone like him who has intentions?
"I heard that you have been working the night shift, you should sleep for a while during the day, otherwise how sleepy will you be at work?" He said.
Listening to him is like some kind of relative to me. I think it's a little unnatural. Now it's just the two of us in the courtyard, and I'm afraid he'll say something else. So, as if running away, he said, "Hmm." Gotta sleep for a while. With that, he ran away into the house without waiting for him to speak. Once inside, I quickly locked the door.
Not that I'm afraid of what he's going to do to me, because I know he won't. But I feel at ease when I lock the door. I don't know if he was resting or what, because this is not a day off. Normally, you don't see him until Sunday. But today is not Sunday, but I saw him.
Of course I don't sleep in the house, because I don't need to go to work, and the factory hasn't notified us for days. Although I stare at my phone every day, I am afraid that I will miss the news of work.
I lay in bed thinking about things. I thought that the man across from me would look at my house every morning when he got up, and at night at night. I closed the curtains when I was in the house, but when I went out of the house, I noticed him looking at my room more than once.
How could I not see such an obvious expression? But. I could see that he was not a bad person, and although he always approached me deliberately, he never said anything out of line, nor did he say it directly.
He only occasionally showed his concern for me every time he met me. But I know it in my heart.
When I'm in the house, even though it's not night, I close the curtains. Although I haven't been to work these days, I don't just don't turn on the lights at night, and I don't listen to music or look at my phone. I don't want anyone to know I'm home. Because the landlord already knows that I am at work. I've been at home again for a few days, will she think I'm fishing for three days and drying nets for two days?
I haven't rented a house before and don't know the difficulties of renting a house. It turns out that you have to be careful everywhere. If you have your own family, how can you worry about so many messy things?
I stayed in the room quietly, not daring to make a sound. In this way, when it was time for dinner, I still didn't want to move, so I just lay on the bed and stared at my phone all the time. Staring at the night shift group of the mask factory.
It wasn't until about eight o'clock that I heard a voice outside: "Sister, are you there?" "As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Sister Li from the same dormitory who used to work in Yanqiu's factory.
She was talking to the landlord's eldest sister. Her husband used to work here, so she and her husband rented a room from our landlord, and she only met the landlord's eldest sister. She introduced me to the fact that I could rent an apartment here. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to rent. This house is very close to Yanqiu's factory.
The landlady hurriedly greeted her from the house. "You're here." spoke politely to Sister Li and welcomed her into the house.
"What about Xiao Ji? Where did she go? As soon as I heard this, I knew that Sister Li was here to find me, not to find the landlord. But I can't go out now. Because I always pretended not to be at home in the house, neither turned on the lights nor made a sound, so I made Sister Li misunderstand that I was not at home. Wouldn't it be nice to go out now? I don't know what the landlord thinks.
Since I can't go out, and I don't know what Sister Li is looking for me for, I can only listen carefully to what she wants to say. In fact, I can also guess eight or nine of him in my heart, if she comes to me, most of it is because Yanqiu's factory has too much work, and there are few people who can't do it, so I'm embarrassed to call me directly, this is for her to say. Because I know the situation of this factory very well.
"Xiao Ji is on the night shift." The landlord replied.
When I heard such an answer, I felt uncomfortable? It's over, just this one answer, I have no hope of going to that garment factory. Since the landlord said that I went to work, how else could I say that I would go to someone's place?
"Really? Where do you work? Why do you still work night shifts? Sister Li asked the landlord again.
"I heard that it was in a mask factory, and it was said that there was too much work and I couldn't do it during the day shift, so I added the night shift."
"Really? Then I'll go back too. Nothing else, I just wanted to come and see her. Sister Li said. It didn't take long for her to come out of the landlord's house, and the landlord's eldest sister sent her to the yard. Then he went into the house by himself.
After Sister Li left, I regretted as much as I wanted in my heart. Secretly complaining to himself, why didn't he go out when he heard his sister's voice? If I go out, maybe I will have hope of returning to Yanqiu to work. Now this mask factory is really unreliable. If people can do it, they don't need us, and they can only let us go when they can't do it. So what do I have to be nostalgic for?
