Ma Xuezhen came out of the station last night without a dime, not to mention staying in a hotel, she didn't even have money for a steamed bun.

With her luggage on her back, she asked people how to get to Gujing Street, and then relied on her own two legs to walk abruptly for more than two hours to the side of Gujing Street.

When she came here, it was pitch black, but just like that, Ma Xuezhen took advantage of the moonlight to look from house to house.

After walking back and forth on Gujing Street, she finally understood what Lin Xiang said about her shop being different from others.

"You've been here since last night?" Lin Xiang's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ma Xuezhen is really powerful, she is not afraid of encountering people traffickers and the like.

She is such a little girl sleeping on the street carelessly?No sense of crisis at all?
"Sister, I have nowhere to go, and I don't have a cent on my body." Ma Xuezhen said with her head slightly lowered.

Lin Xiang is also convinced, why is Ma Xuezhen so courageous?
How did she escape to the capital?

With Ma Xuezhen here, Lin Xiang naturally wouldn't watch her go hungry.

After opening the store door, Lin Xiang asked Ma Xuezhen to put down her luggage, and took her to the ramen restaurant next door, where she ate a bowl of warm beef ramen.

Ma Xuezhen was really hungry, she devoured the ramen noodles, almost without chewing, she ate up the ramen noodles and even the noodles with soup.

After she was full, Lin Xiang asked about Ma Xuezhen's condition.

It turned out that Ma Xuezhen was not a child of a poor family. She was born in a worker's family in Gobi City, but she had a bad life and lost her mother since she was a child.

When there is a stepmother in the family, there is a stepdad, who does not go to school at a young age and works at home.

"My hands were frozen by my stepmother's washing and cooking in winter. The water outside froze in the cold weather, and she wouldn't let me boil some water to wash them. Many times I just rubbed my clothes directly on the ice. "

When Ma Xuezhen talked about what happened to her, she had a dull expression on her face.

"I couldn't bear the abuse at home, so I stole my dad's salary and ran away."

"When I bought the ticket, I was too nervous and forgot to leave some money for myself, so I had no money to eat." Ma Xuezhen laughed embarrassedly when talking about the stupid things she did.

"Are there no other relatives in your family? Do you want to report that you are safe?" Lin Xiang said helplessly.

"It's gone. My grandparents were defeated by the fight a few years ago, and the family property is gone. My grandparents, they don't care about my life at all. Who made me a girl."

Lin Xiang saw that Ma Xuezhen was brave, careful, and pitiful, so she wanted to keep her, but where she lived made Lin Xiang feel worried.

Originally, the courtyard house that Yu Haisheng rented was vacant, but Yu Haisheng lived with a man, and she was an unmarried girl, so it was really inconvenient for the two to live in the same courtyard.

Even if she didn't care about it, the neighbors around watched them move around, and it was inevitable that they would gossip.

"Sister Xiang, can I stay in the store? I see a cubicle at the back of the store, where I can sleep." Ma Xuezhen said cautiously.

Lin Xiang shook his head. The small compartment behind the clothing store was specially used for storing goods, and it was really not suitable for living in.

Considering that he still needs to recruit two people who know how to make clothes with sewing machines, Lin Xiang took Ma Xuezhen to the alley full of courtyard houses behind Gujing Street in the afternoon.

She wants to rent a courtyard again, which can be used as a temporary processing plant, and it can also be used as a place for the employees of the store to live.

It was not difficult to rent a vacant courtyard, and soon Lin Xiang rented a quite large courtyard.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Lin Xiang thought that building a temporary shed in the yard would be more comfortable than making clothes in the house.

"Xuezhen, you stay here first, I guess the goods will arrive tomorrow, I will give you the key to the clothing store."

"You go and clean it tomorrow morning. There is also the other side of Gujing Street. The Lin family clothing store is also ours. You cleaned everything together."

Ma Xuezhen had a place to live, so she did everything Lin Xiang said, and Lin Xiang knelt down.

Before Lin Xiang left, he gave Ma Xuezhen 10 yuan.

"You pay 15 yuan a month, I will give you 10 yuan first, and the remaining five yuan will be paid on the 1st of next month." Lin Xiang said.

"Sister Xiang, you paid too much. It's been less than half of this month." Ma Xuezhen said.

"I'll give you the more, you just bring a quilt, you don't have anything, and you need money to buy daily necessities." Lin Xiang said.

"Sister Xiang, thank you."

Ma Xuezhen grew up so big, this was the first time someone treated her so well, she took the ten yuan, and her eyes were reddened.

Lin Xiang came back from Gujing Street, but still didn't go back to school, but lived with Yu Haisheng.

There are four main rooms, and Lin Xiang chose the West Room as her room because she didn't come to live long.

Lin Xiang felt that Yu Haisheng would not come back tonight, she went to bed early.

Unexpectedly, she was in a drowsy sleep when she heard the sound of a car and the door opening.

When she changed her clothes and came out to look, Lin Bochong and two strange men had already started unloading.

"Brother, where is Haisheng?" Lin Xiang asked.

"Hey? Xiangxiang, why are you here? I thought you were at school." Lin Bochong was surprised to see Lin Xiang coming out of the room.

Lin Xiang didn't see Yu Haisheng's heart skipping a beat, she asked again, "Brother, why did Haisheng go?"

"Haisheng is as strong as a bull. What can he do? The few of us haven't eaten all day and night. Haisheng went out to buy something to eat." Lin Bochong said.

Lin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Bochong say this, she was scared to death, and she thought something had happened again.

After a while, Yu Haisheng came back shirtless with a bag of stewed meat in his hand.

When he saw Lin Xiang at home, his face showed ecstasy, and he even walked a little faster.

"Xiangxiang, why didn't you go back to school to live, it's dangerous for you to live alone." Yu Haisheng said worriedly.

"It's okay, there are so many neighbors in the neighborhood, who dares to run here."

"I'm going to get a basin of water, you hurry up and wash up." Lin Xiang took the stewed meat in Yu Haisheng's hand, took it to the kitchen, fetched him another basin of water, and took a clean towel.

She could smell the towel hanging on Yu Haisheng's wrist just now, and she didn't know how long it hadn't been washed.

Yu Haisheng watched Lin Xiang busy, and the smile on his face deepened. His wife said she disliked him, but she probably liked him in her heart.

Thinking that Lin Xiang might like him, Yu Haisheng's exhaustion seemed to disappear, and he felt light and light.

Taking advantage of Yu Haisheng's washing time, Lin Xiang cut up the stewed meat and put it in a big basin, and took out the steamed buns she just bought in the afternoon, and asked them to fill their stomachs quickly.

While eating, Yu Haisheng told Lin Xiang about the journey northward.

The road was still extremely uneven. At first, only Yu Haisheng and Lin Bochong escorted the cart, and their cart was stopped several times.

Seeing that this was not going to work, Yu Haisheng asked his two retired comrades to help escort the car.

The five burly men in the car looked like they were not easy to mess with, but they caused them a lot of trouble along the way.

"Next time I go to buy goods, Miao Kun and Luo Zhong have to run with me. Having the two of you on the way really saves a lot of trouble." Yu Haisheng said.

"Brother Haisheng, if you have anything to do, just tell us. We can go south with you to see the world and get money. Such a good thing is beyond our wish." Miao Kun said with a smile.

When Yu Haisheng was talking to a few people, Lin Xiang asked about the newly bought sewing machine.

"I bought these from the Shanghai stock market. That industrial sewing machine was the most expensive, costing me more than 500 yuan."
