Chapter 765 Unfortunately, it’s true
Shen Lin listened to Chen Feng’s words, and she couldn’t help but show a worried look on her face.
Seeing this, Chen Feng simply suggested: "I advise you to move somewhere else. Just find a community with better security measures in your unit, and the rent will be slightly higher. You are now Just one person, even if he pays rent with half his salary It’s worth it.”
This community is too old, with a history of at least twenty years. A few years ago, there was an old man working as a security guard at the gate. Although he was in his early sixties, he was usually just a security guard. Sitting in the guard box watching TV, but at least there are security guards.
But then he broke his leg and no one took over. The reason was that the property owners committee composed of old men and women in this community were reluctant to give the new security guard a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan. The old security guards are just decorations, almost as if they are there or not, but I have known them for decades and it is not easy to fire them.
If you want to recruit an experienced security guard, the minimum salary is 3,000, which is very unnecessary. The younger ones cost more than 5,000 yuan, and they are even more reluctant to part with it.
So, the owners committee of this old community unanimously decided not to recruit security guards in the future. The money saved would be better spent organizing a few social activities.
The door to the unit building used to be there, but after more than 20 years, of course it was abandoned. The general reason is that these old men and women thought it was too troublesome to open and close it every day, so they simply didn't close it at first. For the large iron door of the unit building, the lock of the large iron door may be broken. Finally, the iron door may be an obstruction, and the rust and decay affect the appearance, so it may be dismantled and sold as scrap metal.
If you want to replace the iron gate with a new one, every household has to pay for it, but not everyone has the organizational and coordination skills.
What’s more, even if you have the ability to organize and coordinate, you will still be blinded when you encounter this large group of shrewd old men and women.
As a result, there are now sixteen buildings in the community, each with three units, for a total of forty-eight unit buildings, and most of them have no doors.
For the small half that have gates, some people took the initiative and went door to door to persuade them, and everyone pooled money to have them reinstalled.
In most unit buildings, even if someone is willing to come forward to do this, as long as one family disagrees and is unwilling to pay, the matter may fall through. Unless someone is willing to pay his share of the money, but how is that possible?
The fact is that these old men and women who still live here basically either don’t have much money, or they are reluctant to spend money.
With the idea of saving money wherever possible, the unit door is certainly within their scope of saving money.
Moreover, many of the older generation feel that it is more convenient and trouble-free to enter and exit the unit without a door. As for security, they don't have much money, so the bad guys won't target them.
This has resulted in the current situation of this community. It is a completely open community without even a minimum access control, which is very convenient for those who come to do sales or post small advertisements.
So, in Chen Feng's opinion, this place is not suitable for a woman like Shen Lin to live alone. That is to say, the old men and women here are relatively united, communicate with each other, and are usually very vigilant. Moreover, these old men and women like to chat in the owner group when something goes wrong. If something happens in the community, everyone in the community will quickly come to the rescue. Can know.
In addition, the overall public security environment in Xiuzhou is also very good. Otherwise, if someone is interested in her, her safety as a woman living alone will really be a problem.
Unfortunately, Shen Lin rejected Chen Feng's suggestion directly: "No. I just bought this house not long ago, how can it be left empty and unoccupied?"
Chen Feng said angrily: "You can rent it out."
After being stunned for a moment, Shen Lin shook her head and said firmly: "That's even worse. I just bought it, how can I rent it to others? Besides, this is my home. How can I not live in my own home but go out to find a house to live in? ”
Chen Feng said matter-of-factly: "Then you can keep this apartment empty for now. It's not very safe for you to live here alone. In addition, Chen Yuanyu is also involved. To be on the safe side, you can go out and live there for a month or two and then check the situation." . ”
Shen Lin was not someone who couldn’t listen, and she fell silent immediately.
Chen Feng ignored her and picked up the water glass, put it to his mouth, blew into the mouth of the glass, and then began to drink slowly.
He knows the goods. Before his divorce, he drank a lot of honeysuckle, bought it frequently and kept it at home.
As soon as you drink this taste, you will know that it is pure natural honeysuckle, without adding high-tech sulfur fumigation technology, and the quality of honeysuckle itself is very good, with a very pure herbal taste.
Chen Feng drank while blowing a cold drink, and soon drank less than half of it. It may have been a long time since he drank, and once he drank, he couldn't stop.
After putting the cup down again, Shen Lin looked at him with a smile and asked: "I'm right. The quality of this honeysuckle is the best. I asked someone to bring it directly from the place of origin. The ones you buy and send over are not the ones bought in online stores.”
Chen Feng thought to himself: You don’t drink honeysuckle, so why bother to buy it? Are you just waiting for me to come back one day and then specially entertain me?
Not to mention that this possibility is quite high.
However, of course Chen Feng would not be stupid enough to ask directly. He pretended that he didn't know what she was thinking, and instead of answering her question, he brought the topic back to the previous issue.
"How have you considered it? Do you want to move out for a while?"
As soon as Chen Feng said this, the smile on Shen Lin's face naturally faded and she sighed. : "I used the money you gave me to pay the down payment for this house. Now I have to repay the mortgage of more than 5,000 yuan a month. You also know that my salary is only 8,000 yuan." Thousand, after paying the mortgage, there won’t be much left. If we rent a house again, there won’t be much left.”
Chen Feng frowned slightly and said, “It’s true that your monthly salary is eight thousand, but don’t you still have a bonus? The total of the others is 170,000 to 80,000, right? And you have saved some money in the past few years.”
Chen Feng wanted to say that he had basically paid for the family's living expenses in the past few years, and she usually bought her own clothes and care products.
But it makes no sense to say this now, not to mention that when two people live together, according to Chinese customs, the man must pay, at least a big share, otherwise he will be looked down upon and gossiped about.
When two people live together, it is normal for Chen Feng to be responsible for their living expenses.
It’s just that after so many years, Shen Lin really didn’t spend much on him with her own money. She occasionally bought him some clothes when she felt like it, but it was very little.
Of course, Chen Feng didn't go out of his way to buy her clothes, and he wouldn't buy them either. But every year on birthdays and festivals, there are always red envelopes given to her.
Even though their relationship was not so good in the next two years, Chen Feng still habitually gave her red envelopes during Chinese New Year and holidays. The problem was that the amount of red envelopes was reduced.
But she basically never sent him any red envelopes, not even on his birthday.
At first, Chen Feng felt that there was no need for her to send any birthday red envelopes, but then she really felt that there was no need to send them to him, so she didn't send them.
This is the experience of many male compatriots. It can only be said that the inequality between men and women is vividly reflected in this aspect.
Many times, when it comes to money, men and women are really unequal.
It is natural for men to spend money on women, but not necessarily the other way around. Do you think it's fair?
Chen Feng thinks he is not a stingy man, but they have been together for so many years, so they should love each other, right? But she didn't spend much money on him.
So can it be said that she prefers money, or does she feel there is no need to spend money on him?
In short, these two guesses and judgments are not good for him.
This is a small resentment that Chen Feng has always had in his heart.
However, now that both of them are divorced, this little grudge no longer needs to be mentioned. "Actually, I have to give my parents a fixed amount of 5,000 yuan every month. I started giving it since I found this job, but it was less at the beginning."
Shen Lin suddenly said this, and Chen Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. He didn't know anything about it. Shen Lin never told him this, and Chen Feng never asked her how much savings she had.
This seems to explain that except for buying some necessary daily necessities and clothes for herself, she didn't spend any more money. It's not that she doesn't want to, but that she really may not have much money left.
Besides, Chen Feng’s husband doesn’t make much money, so she has to save some money for emergencies, right?
In the past, Chen Feng didn't think deeply about why she saved money, he just stared at how much money she didn't spend on him.
Actually, if you really want to talk about it, after the two got married, Chen Feng, the son-in-law, should also bear the five thousand yuan per month from Shen Lin's parents.
But Shen Lin concealed the matter at the time and paid the money silently by herself.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand that her parents originally looked down upon Chen Feng as their son-in-law and did not recognize him as his son-in-law. Suddenly they asked him to pay them 5,000 yuan in monthly pension. Even if Chen Feng said so, If I don't say it, I will definitely not be happy in my heart.
In addition, Shen Lin may have done this to ease the relationship with her parents.
"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Chen Feng asked with a complicated expression.
Shen Lin smiled bitterly and said: "What's the use of telling you? Besides, they are my parents, not yours. It is right for me to spend my salary to give them monthly pension. Let you join us If you don't say anything about sharing, you will definitely feel unhappy in your heart. Besides, you won't be able to pay the money later."
Shen Lin said it very directly. Chen Feng might have thought this was harsh before. , which hurt his self-esteem. Because he really has no money.
But now he is very rich after all. When he heard her words again, he just smiled and shook his head: "It's all your fault. I was so unlucky at the beginning and couldn't make any money. I let you bear it silently. So, you chose me then. I really made the wrong choice to be your husband.”
“I made the right choice. I have never regretted marrying you. Aren’t you already famous and on the hot topics? What about the scandal?”
At the end of the sentence, Shen Lin couldn't help but her tone became sour.
Chen Fengxin said: When you got divorced, you were very decisive. If you had no regrets, would you have divorced so decisively?
"There is no point in saying this. We all have to move forward."
Chen Feng can only say this. He can't say that I will divorce you and things will start to change immediately. Great luck and lottery winnings are all possible, and I have also won more than 60 million grand prizes. If I remarry you now, my good luck may be gone.
Isn’t this the same as saying that Shen Lin is a broom star? It was she who brought Chen Feng down. Otherwise, Chen Feng would have developed long ago.
This was also a problem that Chen Feng was aware of. Otherwise, he would not have been so determined not to remarry her without any hesitation.
I am afraid that after remarrying, not only will his wealth and love luck be gone, but he is also worried that his own life will be lost.
If you lose your life, you really have nothing. There is a high probability that your wife will remarry. Even if you don't remarry, it will be equal to harming her.
You really can’t say anything about luck.
Now Chen Feng must not only rely on luck to live a good life, but also rely on good luck to save his life.
Otherwise, how could terminally ill patients who have been declared by doctors to have only two to three months to live alive now, more than a year ago, and their symptoms actually getting better.
This can only be explained by miracles and luck, and cannot be explained by medicine and science.
“We have to look forward, but we should cherish the present more.”
Shen Lin said pointedly.
Chen Feng didn't want to be ambiguous with her, so he turned back to the topic and said: "Actually, I have a store that has been vacant. I haven't rented it out, and I don't plan to rent it. It has been vacant. Probably. It's only about thirty square meters. The original design is that the front half is a store and the back half is a residence. There are bathrooms and even stoves. It's just a little small. If you don't mind, you can live there first. some time.”
Chen Feng knew that he had misunderstood her before, and also knew that he could not remarry her. He felt a little guilty, so he planned to use this to make up for it.
"Of course I don't dislike it!" Shen Lin's face suddenly burst into laughter. It was obvious that she was very happy, extremely happy.
Chen Feng was actually willing to let her live in his house (shop), which undoubtedly showed that he was slowly accepting her. He no longer avoided her or even ignored her like before.
This is undoubtedly a very good start.
"Then I will take you to have a look now, and find someone to clean it up by the way."
Chen Feng didn't want to stay with her in her original home any longer, so he stood up immediately and said.
"Ah, are you going now?" Shen Lin was a little hesitant. She wanted to stay at home with Chen Feng for a while longer.
"Can't you?"
"Okay then."
So, Shen Lin just dressed up a little, then took her bag and went out with Chen Feng.
At the same time, at the Los Angeles Airport on the other side of the ocean, it was just past ten in the morning. After two years of recuperation and self-salvation, Brina was passing through the security check and starting to board the plane. She was brand new from the inside out, like a new life.
Although the face is still the same and the person is still the same, the personality, world view, and outlook on life have long changed.
Ever since she was deceived by that scumbag two years ago and got pregnant, and was finally forced to have an abortion by the scumbag, who even made nasty remarks to her, she couldn't think of committing suicide by cutting her pulse.
As a result, he did not die, but the child in his belly died prematurely.
The double blow, both physically and mentally, caused her to suffer severe depression.
After that, he tried to commit suicide many times, but he was always stopped in time by his family members who closely monitored him.
Then, one day a childhood friend heard about her, found her, and asked her: "Do you want to take revenge? For you and for your unborn child."
Brina answered without any doubt: "I want to!"
The childhood friend said: "Since I want to, I must make myself stronger, not only in my body, but also in my heart. Just keep getting stronger.”
