Little Wolf Cub of the Ginger Demon King
Chapter 56
After being pressed by Bei Xiaowu several times, Chi Xiaohong finally spoke.
She said she escaped by stealing 800 yuan from the family a few years ago, because the family was really struggling. In order to relieve the family's financial pressure, her parents let her get engaged to a widowed man who was nearly forty years old in the next village.
But now, my mother said that she was seriously ill, and she called her over and over again to ask her to go back. She also wanted to go back, but she was afraid that the old man would bring someone to the house to ask for someone. A part of the gift.
She is only seventeen, and although she looks average and comes from a poor family and has not read much, she really does not want to hand over her fate to another strange man who is so much older and has two children.
Bei Xiaowu was shocked when he heard this, he thought that this kind of thing could only be seen on TV.
"Are you your own?" Bei Xiaowu regretted the words as soon as he uttered them, because Chi Xiaohong's tears were already in the corners of his eyes, and they were about to fall at any moment.
Bei Xiaowu didn't dare to ask any more, and bowed his head to help Chi Xiaohong wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and cheeks.
Jiang Lai came out of the room and saw Bei Xiaowu wiping Chi Xiaohong's tears. For some reason, he suddenly gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and held it for a while, then turned and entered the room.
"Don't worry, it's illegal for them to do this. You're underage, and you're not even old enough to get married," Bei Xiaowu said.
Chi Xiaohong sniffed her snot, tears in her eyes, "It's the same in our place. No matter who is an adult or not, they will find someone at the age of seventeen or eighteen. It doesn't matter if they have a banquet and get a marriage certificate or not."
"What age is this!" Bei Xiaowu let out a long sigh, suddenly wanting to get angry.
"My mother is also quite pitiful. I am afraid that if the family does not send her to the county hospital, it will be delayed, and I dare not go back."
Bei Xiaowu once again reached out to wipe away the tears overflowing from the corners of the girl's eyes, and comforted her, "Are there any reliable relatives at home?"
"I have a cousin, one year younger than me. We play best together, but we can't get in touch, and she doesn't have a mobile phone." Chi Xiaohong hung her head, staring at the new canvas shoes Xue Man bought for her.
"You call home." Jiang Lai stood in the door and listened for a while, and couldn't help but draw a picture when he heard this, and he lifted the curtain to come out, "I want to ask what's going on?"
Chi Xiaohong bit her lower lip tightly, with fear in her eyes, she shook her head repeatedly at Jiang Lai, "I didn't say what I was doing, I was afraid they would come here to cause trouble for the family."
"Just make a phone call, don't worry about the rest." Jiang Lai walked to the side and pushed Bei Xiaowu to the side.
Bei Xiaowu staggered, he didn't know, so he looked at Jiang Lai, the Demon King Jiang hadn't acted so recklessly for a long time.
"Is it okay?" Chi Xiaohong seemed to be more dependent on Bei Xiaowu, and turned her questioning gaze to Bei Xiaowu.
Bei Xiaowu was still thinking about Jiang Lai's bump into him just now, but he didn't realize it for a while, "Huh? Well, listen to him."
The corners of Jiang Lai's mouth curled up unconsciously, but in a very inconspicuous way, and in Bei Xiaowu's eyes, he also smiled.
Chi Xiaohong didn't understand what these two people were doing at all, hesitantly took out the cell phone Xue Man gave her, and handed it to Jiang Lai, "The phone is stored inside."
Jiang Lai took over the mobile phone that was covered with heat, found "Mom" in the address book, and pressed it decisively.
The phone rang and connected, it was a female voice that sounded a bit old, Jiang Lai reckoned that the other party was about 50 years old.
"Hello, Honghong?" The woman's voice had a natural crying tone, which sounded very uncomfortable and mournful.
"Hello," Jiang Lai cleared his throat, "Is this Chi Xiaohong's mother?"
The woman seemed surprised by the sudden appearance of a male voice speaking Mandarin from her daughter's side. She was stunned for a long time before replying in awkward Mandarin, "Yes, is Hong Hong okay?"
Jiang Lai glanced at Chi Xiaohong and shook his head, "Oh, she's fine, I'm her employer, and she's working as a nanny in my house. Recently I heard that there's something wrong at home, what's the matter?"
Jiang Lai originally believed that Chi Xiaohong said that her mother was sick, but when she heard what she told Bei Xiaowu just now, which was a plot that only appeared in the 80s TV dramas in the last century, she felt that sickness was probably just a guise.
"Oh, this... this..." The woman began to dodge.
There was a man next to him speaking in dialect, "Ask where she is, tell her to come back quickly?"
Jiang Lai understood, and thought that she was really not sick, and said, "That's right, Chi Xiaohong signed the contract when she came to our house to be a nanny, and if she left midway, we would deduct her money, not only for the past few months. Hard work for nothing, but also to accompany our family."
Jiang Lai thought, people who like money so much must be reluctant to waste money, let alone lose money.
"Ah," the woman exclaimed as Jiang Lai expected, "Oh my God, where is my Honghong, I want to talk to her."
"She's working," Jiang Lai said with a bit of impatience. "I heard that someone in the family is sick. Give me a bank account and send some money there. It's important to see a doctor."
Maybe it was because they heard that they wanted to call money, so the other party replaced a man to answer the phone.
"Hello?" The man elongated his tone, "Honghong's mother has an incurable disease!"
Jiang Lai rolled his eyes, and really couldn't understand how a kind-hearted and hard-working girl like Chi Xiaohong grew up in such a family.
"It can be cured but it can't be cured. What about Honghong, an underage girl who works outside? If it's cured or not, you have to be sent to the hospital first. If you don't want the money, forget it." Jiang Lai pulled the phone away as he spoke. After a while, "Hang up."
"Oh, don't, don't," the man seemed anxious, "The bank card number, right? Okay, I'll ask my son to make up a message and send it to me when I'm done."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lai returned the phone to Chi Xiaohong, "Don't worry, your mother is fine."
As soon as Chi Xiaohong got the phone, a message came with a "ding".
"The speed is quite fast." Jiang Lai shook his head with a smile, "Give me the number."
"No," Chi Xiaohong shook her head, "I can't let you send money to them."
Jiang Lai didn't plan to make many calls at first, and 1000 yuan was enough to let them know that Chi Xiaohong was taken care of by his employer here.
"I'll send money to them. Aunt Xue said she would open a bank card for me." Chi Xiaohong lowered her head shyly.
Jiang Lai sighed, this girl stayed in the backwater countryside until she was 17 years old, she ran to the town for the first time in order to escape marriage, handed her ID card and bought a train ticket [-] kilometers away in the dark, she was not cheated by anyone, even by Xue Man It was a miracle to get it back.
"Don't pay all the money my mother gave you at once. If you are really in a hurry, just call three hundred and five hundred. You have to show that your life here is also very difficult, otherwise they will ask you for money from time to time. Or just take you back and sell you." Jiang Lai knew that what he said was not pleasant, but he didn't say it so clearly, he was afraid that Chi Xiaohong wouldn't understand.
Chi Xiaohong opened her big watery eyes, and nodded gratefully but also ignorantly.
Jiang Lai shook his head, whistled and went back to his room.
Bei Xiaowu comforted Chi Xiaohong a few more words in the yard, and then went out.
Bei Xiaowu recently took a job advertising in the downtown business district, wearing the kind of willful bear clothes, posing in an indifferent and cool pose, passing by and holding out a flyer.
This kind of work looks interesting and pays a lot of money, but it is actually very hard.Wearing heavy clothes to dry in the sun in summer, Bei Xiaowu's T-shirt is always wet.
He found the job from the part-time job website, and it ranged from 200 to 300 a day. If he caught up with a heavy rain or was checked by the city management, he would have to be unlucky and not get a penny.
He didn't tell his family that since he played tricks to get Jiang Lai and Xue Man to support him in going to auto repair school, Bei Xiaowu felt that he seemed to have discovered the potential energy hidden in his body.
He understood the fact that he was maturing and growing up day by day, as long as it was something he wanted to do, no one could interfere.
This can also be regarded as the only wealth left to him by Bei Tiangui's departure, allowing him to grow into a much more mature mind than his peers in a short period of time, learn to endure hardships, and learn to face an unpredictable future.
Jiang Lai also had to prepare for the final exam, and was terribly annoyed. He closed the door and started scratching his head at various papers.Although he doesn't like reading textbooks, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like reading. History, literature and art reviews and even novels, he doesn't care about meat and vegetables, but he is still very tedious to fill in the blanks on the roll paper according to the standard answers.
While facing the textbook secretly distressed, the phone buzzed.
Jiang Lai saw that it was Wang Yue.
Could it be that the chips have new news?
Jiang Lai was so excited that he quickly picked up the phone.
"Lai Shuai?" Wang Yue was in a good mood, startled, "Guess where we are?"
"Ah..." It turned out to be just chatting, Jiang Lai was a little frustrated, and asked in agreement, "Where is it?"
"TRAIN STATION."
"Oh." Jiang Lai thought Wang Yue had taken his graduation trip early.
"The train station near your house."
"Ah?" Jiang Lai opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"Hurry up and pick us up, who and I are with several former classmates." Wang Yue lowered his voice, "Isn't it a bit of a surprise?"
"Surprise? Get scared."
Jiang Lai was very happy to see Wang Yue suddenly, but Jiang Lai, a former classmate in that class, had almost forgotten about it, mainly because his emotional foundation was not solid when he took a year off from school.Going to meet a group of people suddenly can be a little awkward unconsciously.
"Are you coming?" Wang Yue deliberately used a threatening tone, "I'll only wait for you for half an hour."
"Come, come." Jiang Lai hung up the phone, changed his clothes and went out.
Coincidentally, at the entrance of the alley, a taxi released passengers, Jiang Lai rushed into the co-pilot and went directly to the train station to pick up the passengers.
Not long after, the car stopped at the square in front of the station, and Jiang Lai saw Wang Yue and several boys and girls of similar height from a distance.
He walked over, a group of about ten people, well matched, basically a boy and a girl standing together.They greeted Jiang Lai with a smile.
They are all classmates who have studied together for a year before, and they still have impressions to some extent.
One of the fat men waved to Jiang Lai as a greeting, then smiled and said to the others: "Then let's go first."
"Ah?" Jiang Lai asked Wang Yue with his eyes.
Wang Yue hooked the schoolbag strap of the girl next to him, winked at Jiang Lai, and replied to his classmates: "Okay, then we will go to Jiang Lai's first, and see you tomorrow."
"Ok."
Jiang Lai understood a little bit that Wang Yue wanted to be alone with the girl, but he had no excuses, so he had to pull Jiang Lai out as a shield.
Jiang Lai glanced at the girl next to him with a smirk.He remembered that Wang Yue called this girl "Xiaoxin".
Xiao Xin's face had already turned red, and she smiled shyly at Jiang Lai.
For a moment, Jiang Lai didn't blame Wang Yue for not contacting him in advance.
She said she escaped by stealing 800 yuan from the family a few years ago, because the family was really struggling. In order to relieve the family's financial pressure, her parents let her get engaged to a widowed man who was nearly forty years old in the next village.

"Don't worry, it's illegal for them to do this. You're underage, and you're not even old enough to get married," Bei Xiaowu said.
Chi Xiaohong sniffed her snot, tears in her eyes, "It's the same in our place. No matter who is an adult or not, they will find someone at the age of seventeen or eighteen. It doesn't matter if they have a banquet and get a marriage certificate or not."
"What age is this!" Bei Xiaowu let out a long sigh, suddenly wanting to get angry.
"My mother is also quite pitiful. I am afraid that if the family does not send her to the county hospital, it will be delayed, and I dare not go back."
Bei Xiaowu once again reached out to wipe away the tears overflowing from the corners of the girl's eyes, and comforted her, "Are there any reliable relatives at home?"
