Chapter 40: Both parents are dead, no brother, no house(2/2)
"It seems that I'm really just here to buy things." Beibei said in a low voice at this time.
"Look again." Boss Jin said calmly.
Beibei nodded silently.
After a while, Nan Xiaonan opened the door again... It had one room and one bathroom, and there wasn't even a so-called kitchen. I could only place a small table directly in the room with some convenient kitchen utensils.
The clothes on the anti-theft net of the window have been collected.
This is what a typical single dormitory in an urban village looks like...it's still a squat toilet type, dark, humid, and stuffy.
Boss Jin didn't say anything, he just carried the washing machine inside and started to install it.
"It's a bit messy...I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
They were chatting about insignificant things outside... It seemed easier for women to communicate with each other.
"Sister Xiaonan, why do you think you want to work here?"
"I've longed for a big city." Nan Xiaonan opened a bottle of beer, sat down, raised her head and looked out the window and said, "I've been longing for it since I was a child, but after arriving in a big city, I found that it's just like that."
"People from home?"
"I have no family anymore." Nan Xiaonan shook her head, "If one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, that's what I'm talking about."
"sorry, I do not know……"
"Yeah." Nan Xiaonan shook her head, her eyes downcast: "It doesn't matter, I've gotten used to it a long time ago... I almost don't remember what my parents look like."
"This key..." Beibei looked curiously at the key pendant tied around Nan Xiaonan's neck.
"This..." Nan Xiaonan lowered his head, stretched out his hand to play with the key pendant, then shook his head and put it away: "It's not an important thing, I just bought it because it looked special."
Beibei didn't ask deeply.
"It's been installed. Take a look. If there's no problem, we'll leave." Boss Jin walked out directly at this time, quite simply.
After Nan Xiaonan looked at it, she said there was no problem, so Boss Jin took Beibei away directly, still looking very straightforward.
"Thank you! If I need anything else, I'll come back to you, boss! Remember to give me a good price!"
She watched the two people leave in the corridor.

Downstairs, Boss Jin raised his head and looked around... He saw Beibei coming back in a circle, shaking his head and saying: "There is nothing suspicious."
At this time, Boss Jin walked directly into a canteen, looked at an old lady hanging a pocket in front of the counter and asked: "Are you the landlord of this building?"
"A housekeeper?" The aunt looked at her suspiciously.
"Let me ask something." Boss Jin thought for a moment and said, "Did the woman on the third floor just move here?"
I saw the aunt frowning at this time and said warily: "Why are you asking these questions?"
Beibei walked up quickly at this time, took Boss Jin's arm affectionately, and said with a sweet smile: "That's right, boss lady, this is my eldest brother... He just met the sister upstairs, which is interesting.
So I want to inquire. My eldest brother is a very nice person, but his family members are a little worried, and he himself is also anxious... Can I help you?"
She gave the boss lady some consulting money... quietly.
"You don't look like bad people." The aunt smiled and took out the money, and then sighed loudly and said: "Speaking of which, this girl is quite miserable. She has been looking for a house here for several days, but it is too expensive.
The deal was settled. I saw how pitiful she was, so I happened to have a room available, so I rented it to her at a cheap price."
"Did she have a miserable life experience?" Beibei asked curiously.
"It's already miserable enough that we lost our parents a long time ago." The aunt sighed and said, "No, I had a boyfriend who we were talking about getting married to, but he died suddenly a few months ago... I don't know the specific reason why.
I don’t know, and it’s hard to ask, right? It’s not easy for this girl. When she moved things that day, the downstairs was full of stuff. I kindly wanted to help her call someone to carry it upstairs, but she had to go alone.
I resisted them all and was very tired, but in fact I didn’t save much money.”
Beibei and Boss Jin looked at each other. Beibei smiled again and said, "Auntie, do you know where she works?"
"I'm not very sure about this...but she goes out very early in the morning these days, and when she comes back, it's probably about this time."
"Okay, thank you, boss lady." Beibei nodded at this time.
"I have her phone number, do you want it? Just don't tell her it was me." The master said with a smile.
"No need." Beibei said casually: "For this kind of thing, it would be more sincere to ask in person. Excuse me, boss lady."
"You're welcome... come to my shop often from now on! Many girls pass by my place!"
They have gone far.
…
…
Beibei is responsible for cooking the meals.
A group of people ate around a wooden table without much conversation.
Maeve was eating and asked curiously: "Where is the boss? Don't you want to eat?"
"I don't know, I went to the small room after I came back." Beibei shook his head.
They looked at Boss Jin's small room at the same time. He never allowed anyone to go in. Of course, there were no secrets in it. After all, they had only been in this second-hand store not long ago.
Including Mr. Jin himself...it was just a second-hand electrical appliance store that was sold in the past half month.
"Speaking of which, isn't this dog... a bit ugly?"
"Really? It's called Xiao Bei!" Bei Bei asked the protester at this time: "What's so ugly about it?"
Just talking about some random things, like a family member.
The sound...if it didn't reach the small room, even if it did, Mr. Jin probably wouldn't be able to hear it clearly at this time.
Because he was wearing headphones at the moment, and there was an open suitcase on the table... eavesdropping equipment.
"Damn cockroach! Beat you to death! Beat you to death!!! Still running! Still running...die!"
"Oh, my feet... my feet..."
"Let's eat instant noodles alone...and of course have a slice of cheese..."
"This rubbish drama is getting more and more ugly! If I replenish my membership, I will be a pig!"
The sound of eating noodles.
Suddenly, the chatter stopped and there was silence.
Mr. Jin frowned and reached out to twist the knob inside the box... Then, a sobbing sound slowly hit his ears.
Chapter completed!
