Back to when the Great Demon King was a child

Everyone in the courtyard knew that Teng Jing had lived with Jin Chu in the imperial capital for almost ten years, and that Jin Chu had a biological father who came from a wealthy family and lived a superior life of a rich man.

Therefore, they naturally thought that Jin Chu before the age of ten lived a very happy life. He was served by a nanny at home and picked up by a driver outside.

However, only Jin Chu himself knows——

For him, the ten years he had walked were like walking on a single-plank bridge surrounded by darkness, with abysses on both sides, and the bridge surface was covered with sharp thumbtacks, and every step he took was a pain in the heart.

In Jin Hailin's eyes, Teng Jing is just a worthless plaything. He can spend time and money on Teng Jing, but he will never allow Teng Jing's existence to affect his relationship with his fiancée, even if Teng Jing lives for him. gave birth to a son...

The Jin family behind Jin Hailin has always paid attention to reputation and face. After being made a fuss by Teng Jing's beggars, they directly blocked Teng Jing's relationship network and pushed Teng Jing every step of the way in life.

In order to resist, Teng Jing made a lot of crazy moves. She deliberately pinched out blue and purple marks on Jin Chu's body. In the cold winter, she stripped Jin Chu's shirt and threatened him to guard at the door of Jin's house.

Jin Chu, who was only five or six years old, had no ability to resist. He cried and cried, shivering and squatting beside the flower bed outside Jin's house.

Later, he watched Jin Hailin's car stop in front of him, the window was lowered, revealing Jin Hailin's surprised face, Jin Hailin asked him: "Where's your mother?"

Jin Chu's fair skin was covered with horrific marks. He folded his arms, his lips were purple from the cold, and wept bitterly, "Mom, mom is at home."

Jin Hailin showed a disgusted expression: "Oh, I want to see what else that crazy woman wants to do."

After all, the window was raised, and the car slowly drove out of Jin Chu's sight.

Jin Chu squatted in the snow all night, until the next morning he couldn't bear it and passed out, and was taken home by Teng Jing. Of course, he was scolded again, scolding him for being stupid, scolding him for not being able to keep him. Dad's heart.

From that moment on, Jin Chu realized that his life would never be the same as that of other ordinary children. Even if he came to Qiao Jianuo's house now, he also brought with him the strange eyes and feelings of others looking at Qiao Jianuo's family. Discussion behind the scenes.

He also didn't want Giorgano to sympathize with him.

Whenever he found traces of sympathy in Giorgano's eyes looking at him, he wanted to cover Giorgano's eyes hard.

Don't look at him, don't pity him...

He does not need it.

Qiao Dong and Chen Yue are activists. After discussing it, they went to the leader to talk about their thoughts at the first time at work. To be on the safe side, Chen Yue also shared the matter of Ji Jian's promise to give his family compensation .

The leader lives in the community across the street from the Dazayuan, and has a lot of contacts with the people in the Dazayuan. He also heard the gossip that Qiao Dong and Chen Yue's family has fostered a child, so he nodded understandingly: "Now you have more people in your family. Eating with one mouth is costly and stressful, Ji Jian should give you a compensation, and I will go and talk to him later, so that this matter can be implemented as soon as possible."

During this period of time, because Ji Jian made a fuss about running for section chief, the leader had a headache when he slept at night, and he always felt guilty towards Qiao Dong and Chen Yue. Their favorability increased even more, and their dislike for Ji Jian also increased a bit.

Anyway, Ji Jian likes to make troubles, and even makes a fuss in the unit, how can we not let him bleed?

After making up his mind, the leader took the initiative to undertake the task of urging Jijian to give money.

At noon that day, when everyone was eating in the cafeteria, the leader found Ji Jian who was about to find a seat after eating with his colleagues, and told everyone about the 800 yuan in front of everyone.

Ji Jian had a guilty conscience, and his complexion was not very good at the time. He complained intentionally or unintentionally: "Old Qiao and I are competing fairly for the position of section chief. If it wasn't for my wife's soft heart, she felt that their family was not easy, so let me give them some subsidies. Should I pay 800 yuan for it? They are fine, they are afraid that I will renege on the debt, and they actually ask Brother Li to come and be a lobbyist."

After listening to Ji Jian's words, the leader Li Ge was not happy, and said with a straight face: "What's wrong with me being a lobbyist for them? You haven't allowed them to speak out of the promise you made yourself?"

Ji Jian was originally a bullying person, and he was stunned when Li Ge yelled at him so suddenly.

The colleagues next to him saw that the situation was not right, and they all stood up to persuade Ji Jian.

"You really want to give Old Qiao 800 yuan? Hey, it's nothing to say about it."

"Brother Li is also kind. He has been in a dilemma these days. Of course, he hopes that this matter will end soon."

Some people also felt strange: "I said Ji Jian, isn't your family so poor that you can't even afford your mother's medical treatment? Where did this 800 yuan come from?"

Ji Jian was speechless, his face turned blue and white.

Hearing what everyone said, Brother Li softened his tone and said: "You misunderstood, they didn't mean what you thought at all, they told me this, they didn't just want to let everyone know that you are good! Otherwise, who do you think is willing to go around Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

"Brother Li is right." The colleague patted Ji Jian on the shoulder, "It's not that you don't understand how old Qiao and his wife are. They even raised the neighbor's children together. How could they have the kind you mentioned? Thoughts? You must be thinking too much."

I don't know where this sentence hit Ji Jian's weak point. I saw that Ji Jian's chubby face was covered with dark clouds. He raised his hand and patted his colleague's hand on his shoulder, and turned his head to sneer at his colleague. : "Don't worry, I'll give them the 800 yuan. You don't need to whisper in your ear about how Qiao Dong is."

After finishing speaking, Ji Jian looked at Brother Li, his arrogance restrained a lot, but he still said with a cold face: "I really don't have much money at home, I want to go back and get together with my wife, but I will definitely get the money within a week." Give them to Qiao Dong."

Brother Li nodded, and wanted to say something, when Ji Jian walked away without looking back.

It seems to be miserable.

The rest felt strange.

"Ji Jian wasn't such a stingy character before, did I say something wrong just now? Why did he lose his temper so much?"

"Maybe he has a guilty conscience?" The female colleague standing on the far side said with a fake smile, "Two months ago when I was visiting the furniture city with my sister, I ran into Ji Jian and his wife buying furniture. 1000 You can buy a yuan sofa if you say it, without blinking your eyes. Now that you are running for section chief, you suddenly become poor. You honest people not only believe his words, but also help him canvass everywhere. As a result, he just remembered Are yours alright?"

After speaking, everyone fell silent.

Especially Brother Li, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong—800 yuan is not a small amount, it is worth the salary of a couple with dual careers. Where did Ji Jian give so much?

No!

He has to check it out!

Since that day, some gossip has been vaguely circulated in the unit, saying that in order to become the section chief, Ji Jian pretended to be poor on purpose to win everyone's sympathy votes.

It's a pity that this matter has been settled. Even if some people feel worthless for Qiao Dong, they can't say anything. They can only rejoice for Qiao Dong that he can still get 800 yuan from Ji Jian.

But can 800 yuan buy a good future?

Speaking of this, some people shook their heads in regret, and some regretted that they had eaten the food of Ji Jian and his wife, so they could only vote for Ji Jian because of face.

However, neither Ji Jian nor Qiao Dong knew about the existence of the gossip. Five days later, Ji Jian knocked on the door of Qiao Dong's house again.

It's just that this time Ji Jian is no longer smiling like last time. Brother Li has already reported his name and information. He is a sure thing as the section chief. There is no need to please Qiao Dong or worry about Qiao Dong telling his secrets. .

Looking at the face of his former friend, Qiao Dong felt sour in his heart. He tried to stay calm and made a gesture of invitation: "Come in and sit down."

"No, I'll be leaving soon." With a cold expression on his face, Ji Jian took out an envelope from his cloth bag and handed it to Qiao Dong, "This is 800 yuan, you keep it."

Qiao Dong hesitated for a moment, but after hesitating, he reached out and took the envelope. He suddenly remembered Chen Yue's advice, so he opened the envelope in front of Qiao Dong and counted the money inside.

If you don't make it clear on the spot, if you find the problem later, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Ji Jian watched Qiao Dong counting the money with a blank expression, and a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he took out the letter paper and ballpoint pen from the cloth bag: "Since you have done it so directly, I will not hide it anymore." Don't waste your time, just write a statement to me here."

Qiao Dong put the 800 yuan back in the envelope: "A statement?"

Ji Jian said: "It means that you have received my 800 yuan, and you will no longer covet my things in the future, and the position of section chief has nothing to do with you."

"..." Qiao Dong sighed, "I should, I'll write it now."

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

When Qiao Dong and Chen Yue rode bicycles to pick up Qiao Jianuo and Jin Chu from school, they both had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Seeing them like this, Qiao Jianuo guessed that it should be Ji Jian's matter.

Sure enough, just after thinking about it, he heard Qiao Dong say with a smile: "We won't go back for dinner tonight, the whole family will go to the restaurant together!"

"Okay, okay!" Giorgio slapped his hands straight, bragging about his dad's rainbow fart, "Dad is so kind, I haven't eaten out for a long time!"

Qiao Dong hummed and pedaled his bicycle, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed into a straight line, he turned his head to look at Jin Chu who was quietly sitting on the back seat of Chen Yue's bicycle: "Xiao Chu, what do you want to eat? Uncles and aunts will take you Go with Kano."

"Dad! How could you do this?!" Qiao Jianuo puffed up his cheeks angrily, and said angrily, "I was praising you just now, but you turned around and asked Jin Chu what he likes to eat!"

Qiao Dong laughed loudly: "Who makes Jin Chu more obedient than you?"

Giorgio yelled, "It's not fair."

"Stinky boy." Qiao Dong scolded with a smile, "If you want to be fair, be honest with me, don't be mischievous all day long."
