Chapter 2720 Escape From the Slums 04
"I have something to do, I have to go first." Ji Lin was in a good mood, maybe this was the first time he felt happy after coming here.
"Where are you going?" Su Li tilted her head to look at him, "Are you new here? I've never seen you before."
Ji Lin frowned slightly, not willing to think about those bad things. He is no longer that rich young man who can spend money like water, but a poor man who has to live here and find a way to buy medicine for his mother.
Under the pressure of life, the luxurious life in the past is just a dream that has been dispelled long ago. Except for his memories that have been somewhat blurred, there seems to be no trace anymore.
This is a slum area, with potholes and muddy ground under his feet. He is not used to it, but he must stay here. Only in this way, that crazy woman will not continue to hurt his mother.
"Yes, I just came here." But it won't be here forever.
Su Li looked at him and smiled, "If you need anything in the future, you can tell me. I'm the boss in this area."
"Boss? Still being chased by a few hooligans?" Ji Lin didn't quite believe it.
"Believe it or not, I let them do it. Next time I will beat them until they scream, and my little brother hasn't come yet, so they dare to tease me when the time comes." Su Li raised her eyebrows delicately. There was a trace of cruelty on the doll-like face, full of heroic spirit.
"Okay, I'll ask you to help me next time." Ji Lin lowered his eyes, folded his sleeves twice to cover the dirt, "I have to go."
He needs to get a sum of money, which is not easy, after all, Ji's family doesn't know what's going on...
Su Li watched him turn and leave, his back was very straight, his walking posture was a bit chic, and the temperament around him was incompatible with this place.
He was bound to leave.
And so is she.
Su Li turned around, found a faucet nearby, and washed off the mud on her hands and face before returning home.
The original owner, Wen Chaolu, and his grandmother lived on the first floor of this house, with a total area of no more than 60 square meters and very little furniture, which looked cramped.
When Su Li went back, grandma was washing rice and preparing to cook. Seeing how dirty her body was, she immediately walked over, "What's wrong, did you fall?"
Su Li nodded, "I accidentally fell into a mud puddle, I'll go change immediately. Grandma, sit down, and I'll cook."
A little smile appeared on grandma's old face, "I'll just wash the rice and the vegetables."
Su Li changed her clothes and started cooking as soon as she came out. The two of them couldn't eat much, and the family was also poor, so they basically just fried a dish to eat their fill.
When the meal was almost done, Su Li made a tomato scrambled egg and made a bowl of mustard mustard fried dough stick soup. This fritters are still the breakfast that I didn't finish in the morning, so I eat them right now and don't waste them.
During the meal, grandma began to worry about her affairs as usual, "Lu Lu, don't you really want to go to college? It's hard to find a job if you don't go to college. You can't stay here forever."
Su Li paused while holding the chopsticks. The original owner's grades were not good, the university she was admitted to was a third-rate university, and the tuition fee was not cheap, so she didn't want to go to school at all, she just wanted to earn money to support her family.
But now that Su Li has passed through, she will naturally be responsible for the original owner.
It is impossible not to go to college, even if it is a third-rate school, you have to go. Only by getting out of this slum, can we meet more people and have more opportunities.
She raised her eyes to look at grandma and said, "I want to use these two months to earn some tuition fees."
When grandma heard this, she was immediately happy. She went back to the room without eating and rummaged through it, and took out a box.
"There are tuition fees, there are tuition fees."
