“If you really want to leave home, I can help you!” Yun Xi continued.
“I have a lot of small shops in the city. If you are willing to take this step, I will provide you with a job in my shop. The salary in the city is not low. If you work there for half a year, it will even be worth the income of your brother and sister-in-law who work hard for a year.”
The ideal country that Yun Xi had built for Zhang Cui was very dreamy. Zhang Cui stopped in her tracks and seemed to have forgotten about the things around her.
“But my brother and sister-in-law won’t agree to me leaving home to work like this.”
Those who were used to being enslaved would always have some fear in their hearts.
“You are now an adult. You have the ability to control your own life. Only you have to need to agree to it. Why do you need others to agree?”
Yun Xi patiently explained to Zhang Cui.
“But…” Zhang Cui seemed to have a lot of worries.
“Don’t have too many buts. When you get to the city, I’ll help you arrange a place to live. This way, your work, and place will be settled. It’s a legal society now. Even if your brother and sister-in-law come to cause trouble, you can still call the police.”
After Jiang Meng died, the apartment they had rented previously became vacant. Jing Ning was now rushing to work at various venues. The hotel had almost become Jing Ning’s home. Under normal circumstances, she would not return to this apartment.
Jing Yu also did not want to stay in this sad place anymore. He took his luggage and moved out to live with Qin Hai.
It just so happened that the two of them could discuss things with each other, and the two bachelors stayed with each other.
The empty apartment was just right for Zhang Cui to live in.
Yun Xi almost felt like she was worrying for Zhang Cui like an old mother.
“If you want to change your current life, the most important thing is to take the first step to change it. If you keep hesitating here, then it’s impossible to change the life you hate now.”
Yun Xi’s last words seemed to have given Zhang Cui a lot of courage. Zhang Cui stood there in a daze for a long time. Yun Xi’s words echoed in her mind again and again.
“Good! I’m willing to take the first step!” Zhang Cui gritted her teeth and said.
“I’m afraid that I’ll regret it later. I should take the first step in time now. I didn’t have any luggage at home to begin with. I only had a few sets of clothes to change into. I don’t want to go back home either. Just help me book a ticket right now and let me leave this place!”
Yun Xi was a little shocked. She did not expect Zhang Cui’s yearning for a new life to be so urgent.
“I’ll return the money for the ticket after I earn my salary. I’ll take these cloth with me first. I’ll make two sets of new clothes, so I’ll look better for work.” Zhang Cui took the cloth from Yun Xi’s hands.
Seeing that Zhang Cui was willing to make a change was something to be gratified about. Leaving now was not much different from leaving in two days. Yun Xi managed to convince Zhang Cui to be so enthusiastic and immediately pulled her to the train station, they booked the earliest ticket and left.
Looking at Zhang Cui’s back view on the platform, Yun Xi’s eyes were filled with tears.
Amidst the flickering tears, Yun Xi saw her past self through Zhang Cui’s back view. If she had received the help of such a person back then, would the stories of her past life have had a different ending?
The mission that Yun Yang had given her had finally been completed. Yun Xi was about to go home.
“Hey, you’re finally back. Where did you take my sister? Why did you come back alone?”
It was almost evening when Yun Xi returned home. Brother Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were waiting for Yun Xi in the Yun family courtyard.
“You didn’t sell my sister, did you? Or did you trick my sister to elope with your uncle? I didn’t expect you to be such a bad person. If I knew you would kidnap my sister, I wouldn’t have let you bring her to buy some cloth.”
Mrs. Zhang made a racket at the door.
