Rebirth starts with financial freedom

"Stop!" Just as the car was driving, Chen Ze suddenly shouted.

Lin Feng stepped on the brakes without any hesitation.

Because it was a mountain road, the car was not traveling very fast, so even if Lin Feng suddenly braked, Chen Ze was not affected by the inertia.

Opening the car door, Chen Ze saw the reason for him to stop the car at a glance.

I saw a dirty little girl at the front of the motorcade following an old man with a stooped body and a limp when walking.

The old man has gray hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a pair of cloudy eyes full of bloodshot eyes. He looks like he is in his seventies or eighties. The little girl looks about four or five years old. She is as thin as a bamboo pole due to long-term malnutrition and her complexion is dull. She was a little blue and black, but even so she was carrying a very small baby on her back.

The clothes the two of them wore were all in tatters, the toes of their shoes were exposed, and even the clothes wrapped around the baby were dirty.

Because the motorcade was passing by, the little girl and the old man hid tightly on the side of the road, not daring to move.

After discovering that Chen Ze got out of the car and looked at them, the little girl, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, had a panic look on her face. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the clothes of the old man next to her with some fear. She lowered her head as if she had done something wrong. , eyes began to shed tears.

Her reaction made Chen Ze stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand why the little girl was like this.

Even if you meet a stranger, you shouldn't be so scared, right?

Did someone get out of the car and beat her?

After walking over and coming to the side of the old man and the young man, Chen Ze met the old man's puzzled eyes and asked, "Hello, old man, what are you planning to do?"

After hearing Chen Ze's question, the old man said a few words awkwardly. As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and pointed into the distance.

Because what the old man said was not Mandarin, Chen Ze couldn't understand it at all, but it was certain that he could understand Chen Ze's words.

Following the direction of the old man's finger, Chen Ze only saw the winding mountain road and trees, and nothing else.

According to the old man's reaction, the direction he pointed should be his home.

Looking at the old man and the young man who were all dirty, Chen Ze felt a little bad.

He knew that some places in Qiongdu were very poor, but he didn't expect that he would encounter them just on the road.

"Little girl, can you speak Mandarin?" Chen Ze looked at the girl behind the old man.

Maybe he realized that Chen Ze didn't understand what he said. Seeing Chen Ze talking to his child again, the old man quickly pulled the little girl out from behind, and then said a few words to her.

With the old man's signal, the little girl nodded and said, "I can speak Mandarin, my father taught me."

Although the little girl's pronunciation was very non-standard, Chen Ze could understand it.

"What are you doing here? Where are your parents?" Chen Ze asked gently.

Although Chen Ze spoke very gently, after hearing Chen Ze's words, the little girl had tears in her eyes again, and replied with a tearful voice: "My mother died when she was giving birth to my sister. My father came from the mountain a few days ago." It’s gone even if it falls, and now it’s just me, my sister, and my grandpa.”

After saying that, the little girl burst into tears, but she didn't know if it was because she was afraid of Chen Ze. She held it back as soon as she cried. Because of the discomfort, her little body started to tremble.

Seeing the little girl's trembling body, Zhao Li, who had not said a word since getting off the car, immediately took out a tissue from his bag, then squatted down and carefully wiped the little girl's dirty cheeks with the tissue.

Perhaps feeling the kindness conveyed by Zhao Li, the little girl couldn't help crying loudly anymore.

But as soon as she cried, the baby she was carrying also cried out.

Hearing the baby's cry, the little girl immediately stopped crying, then turned around and began to comfort her sister.

Chen Ze was already a little uncomfortable, but when he saw the little girl being so sensible, his heart trembled suddenly.

The old man also reached out and stroked the little girl's head, and gently said a few words, which should also be words of comfort.

"Let's go, brother, I will take you home." Chen Ze suppressed his emotions and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately turned to look at the old man.

The old man waved his hand to Chen Ze and then said a few words.

The little girl translated with a cry in her voice: "My grandpa said no, it's already very close to our village from here."

"It's okay. My brother wants to take a look around, and he just happened to take you back on the way."

The old man waved his hand and refused again, and then said a few more words.

The little girl continued to translate: "Grandpa said thank you, brother, but we can just walk by ourselves. We really don't need to take a car."

Chen Ze knew that this was because the old people disliked their dirty clothes and were embarrassed to ride in the car because they were afraid of getting the car dirty.

But how could Chen Ze take such a thing seriously?

"Old man, don't refuse. There should be poverty alleviation cadres in your village, right? I just want to do some good deeds when I come here. Can you get in the car and lead us?" Chen Ze said directly.

Hearing this, the old man hesitated, and Chen Ze did not urge him. After a while, the old man nodded and agreed.

"Let's go then." Seeing the old man nodding, Chen Ze immediately extended his hand to invite the old man.

Then the group of people arrived at the leading car. Chen Ze waved the people who were sitting in this car to go to the car behind him, and then he personally helped the old man sit on the passenger seat.

Chen Ze and Zhao Li took the little girl and the baby and sat in the back seat of the car.

After getting in the car, the little girl became more reserved and did not dare to move while sitting in the car for fear of staining the interior of the car.

Chen Ze didn't ask the little girl any more questions, nor did he talk to the old man. Instead, Zhao Li started chatting with the little girl.

The old man knew that others could not understand what he said, so he did not speak. He just sat in the passenger seat and pointed at the road from time to time without making any unnecessary movements.

I don't know how long it took, but the vehicle finally stopped.

After pulling Zhao Li out of the car, what came into view were several low and rotten bungalows. The dilapidated scene made people a little sad.

He had seen similar videos and pictures on the Internet before, but the videos and pictures were just videos and pictures. When this scene really appeared in front of him, the feeling was indescribable.

It’s already 2019, and I didn’t expect such a dilapidated scene to exist in China.

With the support of Lin Feng and Wang Tie, the old man and the little girl also got out of the car with the baby on their backs.

"Sha Xue, would you like to take your sister to your house for a visit?" Zhao Li squatted down and asked the little girl with a smile.

"Okay, okay." The little girl named Sha Xue nodded happily.

Zhao Li had been chatting with her along the way, so the two of them got to know each other so quickly.
