Yun Jian's eyelids twitched. The first thing she saw was beer bottles all over the floor.
The strong smell of beer, coupled with the rotting smell coming from inside the house, mixed together to create a strong stench.
There were very few things in the house. There was only one bedroom and one living room. There was only a small table in the living room that looked like it would break at any time. Other than that, there was a low bed by the window in the living room. The blanket on the bed was very thin.
Especially in winter like this, when people were lying on the bed, the cold wind would blow in through the cracks in the window at night.
Other than four to five bowls, chopsticks, and an old stove, there was nothing else.
This was Duan Li's house.
Yun Jian could tell from Duan Li's clothes that she was not a girl from a rich family. Yun Jian would never measure a person's worth with money.
However, Yun Jian did not expect Duan Li's family to be so poor.
In fact, Duan Li was a poor student. She was studying at Wuning Yi Elementary School with the help of the state's financial aid for poor students.
Duan Li's sister, Duan Ya, was also in a similar situation. Without the financial aid from the state, Duan Li's family would not even be able to enter the school.
"Miss, Yunzhu, my dad isn't home. Come in. I'll get you a glass of water." Duan Li pulled her six-year-old sister to the low bed by the window in the living room and let her sit on it. Then, she said to Yun Jian and Xiao Yunzhu.
Duan Li then went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water for Yun Jian and Xiao Yunzhu.
Yun Jian and Xiao Yunzhu took the water.
After Duan Li handed Yun Jian and Xiao Yunzhu the water, she sensibly walked over to pick up the beer bottles on the floor and put them on the stairs in the corridor. She planned to throw them down the stairs together with the trash in the future.
Xiao Yunzhu did not mind the environment here. He even sat on the only bench in the house and chatted with Duan Li.
Duan Li's younger sister, Duan Ya, didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Yun Jian didn't mind the environment here. She was also invited by Duan Li to sit on Duan Li and Duan Ya's small bed.
Needless to say, it was time for Yun Jian to figure it out.
The house had one bedroom and one living room. There wasn't even a toilet. If they wanted to go to the toilet, they had to go to the public toilet downstairs.
Since Duan Li and Duan Ya were sleeping on this shabby bed by the window in the living room, that bedroom must be their father's bedroom.
From this, it could be inferred that Duan Li and Duan Ya's father did not even have the most basic fatherly love for his two children, let alone spoiling them.
Yun Jian suddenly felt sorry for Duan Li.
"Miss, my dad won't be coming home today. Why don't you stay for dinner? I'm a great cook!" Duan Li invited Yun Jian sincerely.
Yun Jian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Yun Jian noticed that every time Duan Li mentioned her father, she would be a little scared.
And from what Duan Li said just now, if her father came home today, Duan Li wouldn't dare to ask her and Xiao Zhu to stay for dinner.
Looking at Duan Li's expression of wanting to show off, Yun Jian finally nodded and smiled at Duan Li.
Then, Duan Li ran to the stove and began to cook as if she was an expert.
After a while, a pot of food that was quite sumptuous for Duan Li and her sister was out of the oven. It was a bowl of porridge with only a small handful of rice. There were also a few vegetables floating on top of the porridge.
The world was so unfair. The rich drove luxury cars while the poor couldn't even afford to have enough food and clothing.
To Duan Li, it was already a sumptuous meal to have vegetables mixed in the food.
