Chapter 184 I Won't Go Back
"So do you live alone?"
“Yes, I live alone.”
In front of Chen Li's camera, a short-haired woman wearing a light green long skirt sat. The woman has big eyes and a fat figure. What attracted Chen Li the most was her fascinating baby sound.
"Your voice is a bit like Sister Zhiling," said Chen Li.
"Is that?" The fat woman's cheeks were a little red. "Many people say this, saying that my voice doesn't seem to grow big."
Because Ren Tianxing was on a business trip and Chen Li's things were at his house, Chen Li decided to move at Ren Tian Xingjia for a few days after returning from her hometown.
Chen Li did not sign a lease with 3428's landlord or Dandan Apartment at the beginning, so her rent was actually paid to Guan Sha one month by one.
Guan Sha knew that it was not easy for Chen Li, so she took the initiative to transfer the remaining rent for that month to Chen Li on WeChat, but Chen Li did not collect it.
After returning to Yanzi Valley, Chen Li looked for a house near Yanzi Valley during the day and conducted an interview at night.
Chen Li’s interview time is often after 10:00 pm, because usually the lights in each rental house will light up only after this point.
Most of the interviewees of Chen Li were landlords and tenants affected by Dandan Apartment's run away.
Chen Li knocked on the door of 3413 on the 41st floor of Building 3, Yanzigu tonight. The fat woman sitting opposite her was open at this time.
When the fat woman learned about Chen Li's purpose, she enthusiastically invited Chen Li to sit in her rental house.
There was only a wooden chair with a backrest and a small plastic stool in the room. The fat woman insisted on sitting on the small stool herself, letting Chen Li sit on the wooden chair.
"How did you coordinate with the landlord after the incident?" Chen Li asked. Her mobile phone was turned on in video mode and was placed horizontally on the only desk in the girl's room. In the camera, she and the fat girl both faced the audience with the side face.
The fat woman did not answer Chen Li’s question first, but pointed at Chen Li’s phone, “Will you show that my face is bigger at this angle?”
"It shouldn't be. You sit low, the camera is above you. If you really look big, my face will definitely be bigger than you in the camera." Chen Li said as she moved her chair one step closer to the camera.
The fat woman felt relieved when she saw this, but she couldn't help but pluck the hair behind her ears forward.
"How did you coordinate with the landlord?" Chen Li repeated.
The fat woman sitting on a small stool put her elbow on her knees and sighed, "How can I coordinate? I just take a step back. I paid the rent for one year, but I only lived for 4 months. For the remaining six months, I continued to live for three months and then moved out."
"That is, the landlord loses for three months, and you also loses for three months?" Chen Li confirmed.
"Yes, because I and the landlord are both victims, so don't make things difficult for the victims. It's not easy for everyone."
"Then have you started looking for a house now?"
"I'm watching, but I didn't go there on site. The project was too busy and I couldn't get enough time. It was late when I got home." The fat girl with big eyes was wearing glasses on the bridge of her nose. "I must have looked for nearby ones. It's at the subway entrance. It's convenient to go to the company and there is no need to change lines. Besides, I can't afford the rent in other places except for urban villages."
"But now, many properties here have signed Dandan Apartment before," said Chen Li.
The fat woman sighed, "Yes, I know, so if there is no house, I might have to look for it in the next farmer's house."
At this time, Chen Li noticed the shallow wrinkles on the corner of the fat girl's eyes and couldn't help asking, "Do you mind if I ask a sensitive question?"
"You ask." said the fat woman.
"I'll say first, I'm 36, I have a child, a girl."
The fat woman was surprised when she heard this, "I can't tell...you look..."
"My face is square, but it's shorter, so it may look younger, but it's not the age of 20." Chen Li said with a smile, "So I'm asking about your age?"
"I'm younger than you, but I'm over thirty." The fat girl replied, "I'm an auditor, the hardest job, I don't have time to maintain or fall in love. I'm on business trips every day, and I'll only be half a month after I'm back this time."
"Then your rent..."
"Yes, it's all for nothing." The fat woman interrupted, "I'm a little more luxurious now and live in such a house... When I was young, I rented a farmer house next to me when I first came to Qingyang. My mother said I was miserable, but who told me to choose Qingyang and chose a city very close to the sea."
The fat woman said and pointed out the window, "At that time, this new-style community had not been built yet. The entire Yanzi Valley was like that kind of house. It was 1,000 yuan a month. More than ten years ago, the staircase entrance of that kind of house opened the door and was black, and there was no light at all. There were so many cockroaches that I didn't dare to cook..."
"Is it because I am afraid that the cockroaches will crawl first as soon as I buy the vegetables?" Chen Li asked with a smile, empathetic.
"Yes, yes!" The fat woman was a little excited, "And one day on the mat, I fell asleep and saw a cockroach lying beside her..." The fat girl shook her head helplessly when she said this, "It's because of that, I swear that I must move, and I don't want to save those hundreds of dollars a month. If it were replaced by this community, I just wanted to use the money I earned in the past few years to improve my life. Now I live in such a house. Although it is small, it is bright outside the window."
"I can't go back again, right?" Chen Li asked.
"Yes." The fat woman nodded one after another, "and if Dandan Apartment doesn't run away, their previous butler service is really good. My air conditioner broke down and I came here to repair it in an hour in the morning. And these decorations are actually very clean..."
Guan Sha saw this video from Chen Li’s official account. At the end of the video, the fat woman took out a piano mat. It was not a piano or an electronic piano, but a plastic mat with piano keys printed on it.
The fat woman picked up the plug and pushed her glasses habitually, "I only have this hobby left now... If I weren't that busy, I would like to have a child like you."
"Do you want to get married?" Chen Li asked.
"I don't want to." The fat woman shook her head, "I don't want to get married, nor do I want to fall in love, but I want a child."
At the end of the video, the fat woman was playing the piano mat while singing a very popular online song:
You said you want to buy a house by the beach
Live there with your cute Chow Chow
...
Life is getting more and more depressing
You're becoming less and less like yourself
Standing alone in the miserable wind
Where are you
You always like things you can't catch
Please don't cry
We are all left with a bunch of memories made of youth
Life is getting more and more depressing
You're becoming less and less like yourself
