“Wow This house is not bad! There are even trees! It’s just that there are so many things piled up and it doesn’t feel very clean, but it’ll be alright after it’s tidied up,” Qiao Yu said as she frowned and looked around the courtyard.
Su Yang did not wait for Qiao Yu to walk around the courtyard and just pulled her into the room on the far right. The moment he pushed open the door, the dust in the entire room was swept around, as if it had not been lived in for many years. There were also spiderwebs hanging in all the corners of the room and there were even piles of paper lying around.
Qiao Yu did not want to enter the room. This was completely different from what she had imagined. At the very least, she had secretly come to this area before and knew what Su Yang’s house looked like. The furnishings there were much better than those in the room in front of her. Was Su Yang asking her to live in this dilapidated place?

Su Yang said impatiently, “There’s no other room. This is the only room. The others belong to someone else.”
Qiao Yu walked into the room unwillingly. Although the stove inside was not lit, it was still much warmer than standing outside. Qiao Yu was still wearing Su Yang’s cotton jacket and did not want to return it to him. She felt so bad that she did not even dare to look at Su Yang.
“There’s only one bed Isn’t there another one?” Qiao Yu said fearfully.
“When I rented it, there was only one bed. There’s no other bed. Let’s just leave it at that for now,” Su Yang said.
“Then where are you going to sleep if I stay here? Are we going out to buy another bed?” Qiao Yu asked.
Buy, buy, buy! All you know is to buy! Have I not spent enough money these past few days? All you know is to spend money! He had already spent so much money without reaping any benefits! He felt as if Qiao Yu was not going to look for her relatives again. Instead, it was as if she wanted to rely on him for the rest of her life.
This landlord was not a nice person either. He did not even help to clean up the room and the bedding in the cabinet was already so old. Anyway, Su Yang was not the one who was going to live here so Qiao Yu would have to make do with it.
“I don’t have money! I can’t afford anything! Quickly clean up this house. I’m going back to my mother’s place. You will stay here by yourself,” Su Yang said.
Only then did Qiao Yu feel relieved. She silently used the broom to clean up the cobwebs on the ceiling and then wiped the dust off the table and windows. These were all chores that she often did at Qiao Zhuang’s house. She used to have to do everything in the house herself. Previously, when her eldest sister-in-law was still around, they still shared the workload. Later on, she had to do everything herself.

Every winter, she would get frostbite on her hands. At its worst, she would find it difficult for her to bend her fingers. Qiao Zhuang did not allow her to heat up the water. Even though there were many men in the family, they did not help out at all.
Qiao Yu was also the one who chopped the firewood. Qiao Zhuang felt that it would be a waste of firewood for Qiao Yu to heat up the water, so he wanted her to wash everything using only the cold well water.
At the thought of the hardships she had gone through in the past, Qiao Yu became even more determined not to return to Foshan Village. She decided to live a good life in the capital for the rest of her life and not return to that hellish life.
Su Yang did not wait inside the room while Qiao Yu cleaned up. He put on his cotton jacket and went out to buy some food to eat with Qiao Yu. He had not eaten for the entire day and his body also could not take it anymore. By the time he returned, Qiao Yu had already tidied up the room. He still had to look for the landlord to solve the problem of the bedding.
The landlord walked out of his room slowly and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“The blanket you provide us is covered in dust and it’s not usable. Change it for us,” Su Yang said as he held out the blanket.
The landlord did not even look at Su Yang and simply asked for more money. The monthly rent for the room was four dollars, but the furnishings and utility bills were not included. At that time, Su Yang did not enter the room to check it out. How could it be his problem?
“No! No! Just make do with it! This is what you get for the rent! I don’t have anything extra that I can give you!” the landlord said rudely.
