Tangtang and Guoguo, the two sisters, had great ideas, but while their ideals were full, reality was grim.
Because Tangtang and Guoguo didn't have much money on them, the place they rented wasn't very good, even in the suburbs.
It was a broken tongzi building, the room was damp and cramped, and stepping into it felt like walking into a basement.
No, it was even worse than a basement; at least, a basement wouldn't be so noisy.
And in the room they lived in, the soundproofing was terrible, they could hear everything the neighbor said from their room, leading to them having to endure all sorts of noise when they got back from work every time.
The sounds of couples arguing, children crying, and the children cursing the elderly surrounded them day and night, making their heads hurt and disrupting their rest.
