Women's Struggle to Change Their Destiny
Entering the Village
After school, Xia Qinghuan, Jian Ai, and Guan Tao boarded the bus to the South City together.
As soon as he got into the car, Xia Qinghuan looked around with wide-eyed eyes, her face full of curiosity.
Seeing this, Jian Ai smiled helplessly and asked in a low voice, “You have never taken this before?”
Xia Qinghuan nodded excitedly.
The daughter of the Xia Group always travels in her family car when out. There were countless luxury cars in the garage at home, so why would he take public transport?
Let alone the bus, Xia Qinghuan could count the number of times she sat in the taxi with her finger.
The bus moved and stopped. Xia Qinghuan found it quite interesting. Also, this direction is the opposite of his home. After half the bus ride, the buildings became older and the streets became narrower.
As soon as they entered Zhonglou District, Xia Qinghuan could not help but say, “So Zhonglou District is very dilapidated.”
“Is this your first time in Zhonglou District?” Guan Tao was slightly surprised and asked with a surprised expression.
Xia Qinghuan nodded without hesitation.
Guan Tao: “...”
Jian Ai: “...”
Guan Tao and Jian Ai could not help but look at each other, thinking that this was too much.
After all, he was a resident of Baiyun City. Although the economy of Zhonglou District was lagging behind, it was still neighboring Haicheng District. Moreover, many tall buildings, so it is not considered dilapidated.
This was the first time Xia Qinghuan had come to Zhonglou District in fourteen years…
Jian Ai could not help but look at Xia Qinghuan and give her a warning. “Not that. When we reach South City, you will know what true depravity is.”
Xia Qinghuan smiled indifferently and thought to herself, “Everyone knows that South City is a slum. Even if they are not there yet, they are already mentally prepared.”
Twenty minutes later, as Xia Qinghuan stood at the intersection and looked at the short flat houses, fences, and courtyards that could be seen everywhere, as well as the holes in the large dirt road, which was a huge, he froze on the spot as if someone had pierced.
Did he…
Entering villages?
Jian Ai and Guan Tao looked at the dumbfounded Xia Qinghuan and could not help but look at each other and smile. Guan Tao is the first to say, “Nona Xia, South City welcome you.”
gu gu…
An old chicken passed by them casually. The corner of Xia Qinghuan's mouth twitched without feeling.
“Come go. My house is in front.” Jian Ai did not tease him. Instead, she naturally pulled Xia Qinghuan's hand and walked home together.
After a while, Xia Qinghuan regained her senses. The shock in his eyes faded, and it was replaced with curiosity and scrutiny.
South City is an old district. Although poor, the population is very dense. Therefore, once destroyed, these people would flood the city in groups.
Under a tree by the roadside, on a stone bench at the entrance of the courtyard, the old man could be seen everywhere. Sometimes, a child covered in mud would run past him.
Looking at the small and dark houses, Xia Qinghuan's heart was pounding. Jian Ai and Guan Tao grew up in such an environment.
Xia Qinghuan was born into a prominent noble family, so she naturally had never seen the plight of the people below. At that moment, his emotions were complicated, and he felt a prolonged heat from shock.
When they reached Jian Ai's house, Guan Tao said goodbye to the two of them and went home. Jian Ai explained to Xia Qinghuan, “ Old man Guan Tao came home from work relatively late. Normally, after she finished school, she would go home and cook dinner for Uncle and Auntie.”
Xia Qinghuan nodded with a blank expression, and she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
Although he had been good friends with Jian Ai and Guan Tao, he had never really understood them.
After bringing Xia Qinghuan into the house, Chen Jin stuck his head out of the kitchen as usual. When he saw Jian Ai back with a girl, he was first surprised, but then he smiled and greeted, “You're back!”
