Chapter 341: Can't Let Her Be Homeless
The film and television industry was hit hard by the epidemic, and various crews were unable to start work. Naturally, Tao Mindai was temporarily out of work.
But when she returned to Anjing and prepared to take shelter in her small rental house, the lease on her house expired.
Because Tao Mindai had been a resident of the crew since the second semester of her third year of graduate school, in order to make it convenient to travel back and forth on weekdays, she rented a house near the airport in the second semester, almost half a year earlier than Jiang Baige and the others.
If it is a normal situation, you can just renew the lease normally, and add a maximum of one or two hundred yuan in rent.
But because of the epidemic, the landlord insisted that he didn't want to rent the house to so many people at the same time - it was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, with a total of three people living in it.
If Tao Mindai wants to continue renting the place, she must rent the entire place.
Half a year ago, Tao Mindai would have been able to come up with the money.
The problem is that she and several friends invested in a project at the end of last year, but it has now suddenly been shelved. Maybe she can make the money back when it gets up and running later, but now the funding chain is definitely broken.
Not only that, before the landlord said he would not renew the lease, she had just received news from home that someone in the family was infected with the disease and asked her not to go back as it was not safe.
As a result, she was too embarrassed to even ask her family for money.
But if she doesn't renew her lease, she'll have to move all her belongings out in the next two days...but now she's homeless.
"If I wasn't desperate, I wouldn't want to trouble you..." Tao Mindai's tone was very humble.
She knew that Jiang Baige and Xin Zhiping were roommates.
"Pingping and I haven't returned yet, so only Sister Mo lives there." Jiang Baige couldn't agree directly, "Well... I'll give Sister Mo a call and see what she says."
What else can Mo Songru say?
Of course it means to help those in need when seeing injustice - well, that's not how the idiom is used, but it doesn't matter.
Jiang Baige quickly sent Mo Songru's contact information to Tao Mindai and asked them to contact each other as soon as possible.
According to the current situation in Anjing, it may not be easy to find a car if you want to move.
Fortunately, Tao Mindai had not lived in Anjing for a long time, so she didn't have so many clothes. If it really didn't work, she could just find a taxi and move there.
Moreover, although the epidemic is rampant, people need to spend money to live, and there are many people who are willing to take risks to make money.
As long as you can give money.
Jiang Baige finished dealing with Tao Mindai's affairs, and then went to have lunch with a tired face. —— Jiang Huatao had called him three times, and the last time he was directly scolded by Jiang Baige: "I said I was doing business, eat later!"
Seeing Jiang Baige coming out of the room, he couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Miss, are you here after finishing your business?"
Before Jiang Baige could say anything, Bai Yunqing had already spoken: "Can you please stop looking for trouble..."
But Jiang Baige was still a little absent-minded and didn't say anything. When she sat down at the table, she realized that Bai Yunqing and Jiang Huatao had already eaten.
Although Jiang Huatao was mumbling, he was still very quick and had already brought the hot food out of the pot. He then found that one of the meat dishes was a little cold, so he turned around and went to the kitchen to heat it up again.
The roar of the range hood covered Jiang Baige's voice. Bai Yunqing walked over from the sofa and sat down next to her: "What are you talking about?"
"I can only say... it's sad to live in Beijing without a house."
"What kind of statement is this?"
Bai Yunqing vaguely felt that her daughter was going to talk about the house, but she had not yet connected the two things together, showing a kind of naive ignorance.
Every time she sees this expression, Jiang Baige would wonder if not waking up is also a kind of "lucky"?
She wasn't saying they were right.
It's like sleeping on the edge of a cliff.
If I don't wake up, I might fall off a cliff in my sleep and die, but it won't be painful.
If you wake up, you will be afraid, terrified, and anxious, and you may still fall down if you are not careful, which would be a very painful death - but waking up and struggling is the only way to survive: because only by waking up and opening your eyes can you find a way to stay away from the cliff.
She chose the latter, but she couldn't stop others from choosing the former.
And she didn't want to be too harsh: Aren't women criticized enough in their lives?
Sometimes, even though she knows that they are not the same kind of people as herself, she is willing to "tolerate", "understand" and "recognize" each other no matter what they do, just like men are willing to do so, at least not to blame them.
Jiang Baige's tone softened a little - perhaps it was because she had eaten something: when people are full, they will hate the world less.
"My classmate, who rents a house, is not usually in Anjing. As a result, he encountered an epidemic, the project was suspended, and the return on investment was nowhere in sight. He returned to Anjing to take a break, but was kicked out by the landlord."
"How could this landlord do this..."
"The lease has expired and the owner doesn't want to rent it anymore. What can I do?" Jiang Baige picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and put it in her mouth. "If she wants to continue renting it, she has to rent the whole thing for several thousand yuan, and it will take several months. Her funds are locked up in the project, so how can it be that easy?"
"Looking for your parents?"
Jiang Baige laughed again - how should I put it, her mother is indeed a great mother: "Every family has different situations, not every family supports their children to work hard... You are so open-minded, don't you also support me buying a house?"
Bai Yunqing and Jiang Huatao looked at each other: Good fellow, waiting here. She is worthy of being their daughter, worthy of being a novelist, worthy of being...
She is worthy of being Jiang Baige.
But before she complained, she would first give a compliment, so even if people wanted to get angry, they couldn't get angry halfway through, so they gave up.
"After all, you still have to buy a house." Bai Yunqing sighed.
"I am going to buy it." Jiang Baige said firmly, "But to be honest, before today, I didn't really want to buy it."
This is the truth.
Because in her previous life she didn't know that Tao Mindai had encountered such a crisis of homelessness caused by eviction.
At that time, she and Tao Mindai did not become close because of Xiao Bei's affairs, nor did she share a house with Xin Zhiping.
Maybe that happened, too, but she didn't know it.
So many things have changed in this life.
"Just buy it." Bai Yunqing said suddenly, without even looking at Jiang Huatao or Jiang Baige, "You are my only daughter in this life. Your happiness is more important than anything else."
Jiang Baige didn't say anything, she was stunned.
Is this still the mother in her previous life who almost stopped contacting her because she quit her job to choose full-time writing?
Unfortunately, she will never get any answer to this question.
All I can say is that although it is still the same mother, she has changed because her daughter has become better at guiding and "brainwashing" and more powerful.
As the saying goes, "Children are people from the future" - in this sense, it is normal for her to assist her mother in her "growth".
If successful, there will be unexpected surprises.
If it fails... well, it won't be any worse.
But before Jiang Baige could say "Mom, I love you", Bai Yunqing asked again: "Are you buying a house because you don't want to get married?"
