Chapter 156 - 156: 156: Only Over Two Thousand Left on the Body

Translator: 549690339

After searching all morning, the siblings still couldn’t find a house. They finally found a satisfactory one, but they had to give it up because they didn’t have enough money for the deposit.

Now, Emily Walker had only a little over two thousand dollars on her. Where could thev find a house that was both cheaD and not too remote?

Even if they found one, once they paid the rent, they would have no money left for living expenses for her and her little brother.

“Sis, why don’t we go find work first? Maybe we could even find a job that includes room and board.” Despite the scorching sun, Wallace Carter didn’t feel tired at all. Instead, he tried to lift his sister’s spirits.

However, such jobs that include room and board were scarce in the flourishing city. With house prices so high, which boss would be willing to do that? Business people were notoriously stingy, who would buy a house for their employees to live in?

Of course, there were some in suburban factories… Maybe…

Emily suddenly had an idea. What if she and her brother moved to one of those remote development zones? News on TV often reported about them. The working hours were longer, but the salary was not low, and there were collective dormitories available for living.

Thinking about this, Emily turned her head and looked at her brother Wallace, “Wallace, would you like…to go check out a factory?”

Wallace was taken aback, not expecting his sister to lower their standards like this.

Although their family, the Carter Family, was not considered as aristocratic, the servants back home would at least call her “Lady” and he was a bona fide rich second generation in the campus.

Now, were they really going to fall to working in a factory?

But there was nothing wrong with that, as long as they could earn money, anywhere would do!

“Okay!” Wallace agreed immediately. As long as his sister could live a better life, he would do anything.

Then, the two went to a Labour Services Office where there was plenty of factory information from the suburbs.

They saw an advertisement for a factory, saying: Work 15 hours a day, basic salary ranging from 3,000 to 6,000, the more you work, the more you earn, room and board included.

Seeing this information made Emily hesitate for a moment. The salary might be higher than her job at the Milk Tea Shop. But it meant working 15 hours a day, from 8 AM till 11 PM.

Though the hours were long, having room and board was not bad either.

She turned and looked at her brother, “Wallace, should we go to this one?” Wallace checked the blackboard and nodded, “Okay.”

15 hours a day was not a big deal; he was mainly worried about whether his sister could handle it physically.

After all, they had both been raised in relative comfort and had not experienced much hardship in their lives.

Having made this decision, the siblings returned to Adrian Nash’s small manor.

It was already noon, so the two simply cooked two instant noodles as their lunch for the day.

Boys usually have a bigger appetite, so Emily gave half of hers to Wallace.

Life might be a bit tough, but every time she thought of her brother who had been lying in a hospital bed, now able to sit beside her and eat, all of Emily’s bitterness vanished.

In this world, at least she was not alone; at least she still had her brother

Wallace.

After they had lunch, Adrian Nash came to visit.

It was perfect timing because Emily wanted to return the key to the small manor to him.

Looking at the key, Adrian hesitated for a moment and then looked up, “Have you found a house?”

Emily smiled and shook her head, “No, my brother and I decided to work in a suburban factory. They provide room and board so we won’t need to find a house..”
