Chapter 655 Girls Have No Home
Halfway through the meal, someone came, it was Qiuyu.
She changed a car, most likely she called the housekeeper to send it over. With a cigarette in her mouth, she walked into the house and complained to Zhang Ran who opened the door: "The roads here are too bad, full of potholes, and my car broke down."
The country roads are bumpy and rugged, and almost all of them were built at the expense of each village itself. Large vehicles will naturally have potholes when running on them, and the villagers will have to pay for repairs again when the time comes.
Zhang Ran remembered that the villagers paid for the repair of the rural road in their area three times, but the road was damaged within half a year at most. So some villagers would take extreme actions, blocking the road and charging tolls, and not allowing large vehicles to pass, which caused some disputes and was only settled after several villagers were arrested.
But because of this, the villagers were completely disappointed and no longer willing to pay for road repairs. The road became worse and worse, with big potholes everywhere. Almost no buses were willing to run, so sometimes the villagers had to wait for two or three hours and still no bus came.
In another ten years or so, the situation will be completely improved after the government pays for the construction of asphalt roads.
After entering the main hall, Zhang Ran looked at Gao Yunfeng and introduced: "Fifth Aunt, this is my benefactor. It was she who used her own car to crash into the robber's car on the day of my college entrance examination and successfully subdued a robber." He turned his head and looked at Qiu Yu and introduced: "This is my Fifth Aunt."
Seeing the pregnant woman, Qiu Yu immediately put out the cigarette.
Gao Yunfeng greeted her warmly and even went to the kitchen to get a bowl of rice for her.
"You are heavy, I will help her serve the rice." Zhang Ran reached out and pushed Gao Yunfeng back onto the chair, took Qiuyu to the kitchen, and stood by to instruct her to use the bowl and chopsticks to serve the rice.
"I heard that this big pot rice is the most delicious." Qiuyu picked up the spatula and scooped the rice.
"The most delicious thing is the rice crust, which is usually eaten by children as a snack after dinner. You can try a piece after dinner." Zhang Ran said, leaning closer and lowering his voice, "You were not discovered by my uncle's people when you came, right?"
"They left the hotel right after you left. I left after I had breakfast." If Zhang Ran hadn't slipped her the note, she might have still taken the risk of following them, but now that she knew her boss was not in danger, she naturally would not put herself in danger again.
After dinner, Gao Yunfeng helped clean up the dishes and went home holding her daughter’s hand.
The bed in Zhang Ran's room had been made at some point. It was obvious that Gao Yunfeng had helped make it while she was cooking.
Qiu Yu lay on the bed and looked around.
A shabby wardrobe with broken doors.
The walls were not even painted, revealing bricks. Apart from that, there was no bedside table. Even the windows were made of wood, not glass. Qiuyu was amazed.
At this moment, she finally understood the origin of the idiom "a family with nothing but four walls".
Robbers occupied this house a few days ago. When she was lurking outside, she didn't realize that the house was so dilapidated. It looked more like a haunted house than those old houses used for filming.
Her eyes turned to Zhang Ran who was sorting his clothes and teased, "Is this really your home? The doghouse my dog Dahuang lives in is better than your house." Dahuang is a dog she raised. He is very human-like. When she is sick, Dahuang will worry about her and stay with her all night.
Zhang Ran answered without even looking up: "It's not my home." From childhood to adulthood, everyone told her that this was not her home, but her parents' home where she was temporarily staying, and that they could kick her out at any time.
Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, "It's not your house?"
"In rural areas, in families that favor boys over girls, girls have no home," Zhang Ran explained calmly.
