After leaving Mr. Fox, Lynch walked around the street. After the deal was settled, he would soon have his first income, and the amount of this income was directly related to how much he invested.

The more he invests, the higher the profit. In fact, even the top consortia will be very greedy for this kind of business.

During this period, he has been reading newspapers. Even if the whole world is engaged in development and construction, how to improve the financial economy, the annual return promised by some funds does not exceed 15%.

Some detailed data of last year were disclosed in the trading newspaper in the first quarter of this year. The foundation with the highest actual rate of return has only 9.74 per cent a year, less than 10 per cent. It has become the most profitable fund last year.

So this deal is very important, but at the same time, there is a new problem. He needs a "principal" to exchange for those change and coins.

Mr. Fox did not talk about the money. Based on his investigation of Lynch's background, it is impossible not to know that Lynch doesn't even have 100 yuan in his body and bank account, let alone the scale he promised to help Mr. Fox complete the "transformation" as soon as possible.

He had to get another sum of money, not too much. A few hundred dollars or one or two thousand was enough, because once it turned, the speed would only get faster and faster. A small sum of money. He planned to talk to Catherine when he went back in the evening.

Although he felt that he did have some..., he couldn't help it for the future.

Time passed bit by bit in the stroll. Today Lynch returned home early. At 6:30 p.m., Catherine came back from the outside with a bag.

Inside are the shredded meat and some vegetables that she works in the supermarket. These things will basically be divided up by employees. After all, the purpose of oppression and exploitation here is to get these things for free.

As soon as she returned to the apartment, Catherine was surprised. During this period, Lynch always came very late. It was the first time for him to come back early like today.

At first, she also imagined that Lynch could honestly find a job, preferably in a factory.

Although the work in the factory is very hard and dangerous, it has to be said that the workers' welfare and social security are the best.

Those big business owners not only need to take care of all aspects of them, but also can join organizations such as trade unions. Catherine, who works in the supermarket, can't join them because she's not a worker.

Moreover, there is no unofficial organization such as the cashier Association.

Nightmares are always immersed in them, but good dreams are easy to wake up.

For a week in a row, Lynch, who seems to have just revived, has returned to the original starting point, but now he has changed a pattern. He is no longer staying at home, but an excuse to find a job and go out to spend time.

At the thought of this, Catherine became discouraged. She felt that her past choice was not only stupid, but also blind.

It was also because of these things that she realized how correct what her mother said - it's no use looking good. Life needs the foundation, not looking good.

She looked up at Lynch, changed her shoes, carried the bag into the kitchen and began to clean the meat crumbs.

These meat scraps are picked from the bone shelf and do not form a shape. Most of them are the size of fingers. For some reasons, they look darker than those neatly stacked beef.

Therefore, even if their price is very low, it is difficult to sell them. Most people buy them not for their own food, but to feed dogs.

In fact, there is no problem with these minced meat.

The silence in the room was filled with something uncomfortable, which was still spreading and surging.

Lynch sat on a sofa they picked up from the garbage and looked at his girlfriend who was silently handling food. It was clear that the distance between the two was less than ten meters, but it seemed that an abyss appeared in the middle.

"Do you... Have any extra money?" Lynch asked.

Catherine paused slightly. She didn't look back and didn't say anything. After a short pause, she continued to deal with her work. "There are some, less than 500 yuan, which was saved this year."

Saving money is not easy, especially for young people with only a high school degree.

Rent, electricity, water, heating, some necessary expenses and losses, plus two people living with only one person working, it is not easy to save more than 400 yuan.

Suddenly, there was a heavy thing in the strange atmosphere, pressing on the two people's chest.

Neither of them spoke again until Catherine cooked dinner.

The usual crumbs, fried eggs, some broken vegetable leaves and some noodles broken into one or two centimeters.

These are the things that supermarkets need to abandon every day. Now they feed many poor families.

"Today, my mother came to me..." while eating, Catherine broke the peace. "She doesn't want us to continue like this, but I can't convince her..."

Lynch put down his knife and fork and watched the plate in front of the girl add some fresh "spices", transparent, bitter and slightly salty.

In fact, Catherine has made it very clear that she can't convince her mother, so one of them must be convinced by another, and only she can be convinced.

What was not delicious in the plate became even worse. Lynch sighed, "when are you leaving?"

Catherine almost collapsed. "Tomorrow, my mother and brother will pick me up. I'm sorry, I don't want to, but..."

"OK, you don't have to apologize. I should apologize!" Lynch reached out and touched the girl's tears wet cheek. He needed to pay for what his body had done before.

For more than two years, all the burden of life has been on the 20-year-old girl.

There is no doubt that Lynch is a scum man, very scum.

Such a life gradually dissipated all the girl's fantasies about romance and the future. After these, she began to bow to reality and destiny, even if she might retain a trace of fantasy in the deepest part of her heart.

For example

No, for example, Lynch won't ask the girl to stay. Whether she says she wants to leave first or is uncertain in the future, it is definitely full of some uneasy and dangerous life, which is not suitable for the girl.

Although it's cruel to say so, the truth is the truth.

After an unforgettable night, Catherine left early the next morning with her things, but she also left some things for Lynch.

A passbook and the key to the apartment.

Thanks to the fact that the bank doesn't care who will deposit and withdraw the money in the passbook, it may also be the assurance of Catherine's farewell to her past life.

After cleaning up his own, Lynch took out all the money in his passbook in the morning, 449 yuan and 35 cents.

Then he found the landlord, talked with the landlord for about half an hour, and returned the house with half a month left a hundred yuan - it was 75 yuan, but Lynch didn't want all those things.

The landlord felt that the deal could not be regarded as a loss. Finally, he agreed and gave an extra 25 yuan.

The change is kept to meet the needs of life in the first few days, and the rest will roll into his plan. He can't wait. He urgently wants to learn a lesson for this simple world.
