Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1075 The Heroine’s Vicious Adoptive Mother (14)
"Wow! Look at what kind of shoes that guy is wearing? He can actually skate! There are two wheels underneath..." The classmate named Li pointed at a young man wearing roller skates who was speeding past them with a look of surprise, and asked excitedly.
"That's called roller skates." Xiao Shichu replied.
"This is so amazing, it must be fun, I also want to have a pair..." Student Li said enviously.
"It must be very expensive, right?" Another classmate named Wen said rationally, although his eyes also lit up.
"This South City is more advanced and fashionable than our inland cities. They have shoes like this. You don't have to walk on tiptoes, you can slide on wheels. I want to have one too." Teacher Wang sighed, "I just don't know how much it costs. If it's not too expensive, I will save money for a few months to buy a pair."
Teacher Wang has not yet married and had children, so this is the time when he is willing to spend money on things that interest him.
"You are all very interested in roller skates, so we can go to the sporting goods store to have a look." Xiao Shichu said when he saw them all staring at the direction where the other person's back could no longer be seen with envy.
"Okay, okay!" Everyone agreed quickly, as if they were afraid that Xiao Shichu would change his mind, and they even ignored their hunger.
Xiao Shichu didn't say much, asked around in the shops nearby, and then headed for the nearest sporting goods store.
The five of them walked for more than ten minutes and crossed two streets before they found a large sporting goods store. Without Xiao Shichu's greeting, Teacher Wang and his three students excitedly went in.
South City has a strong business atmosphere, and the waiters in the shops have a relatively high sense of service. Therefore, Xiao Shichu didn't even need to ask, as the waiters in the shop took the initiative to entertain Teacher Wang and the three little classmates.
Xiao Shichu was not interested in roller skates. She walked around the store, picked out a yoga mat, and decided to take it home to exercise.
Teacher Wang and Xiao Jie surrounded the waiter and asked a lot of questions about roller skates. Fortunately, the waiter was not impatient and answered them patiently one by one. After asking all the questions, they learned that the cheapest pair of roller skates would cost three or four hundred yuan, which was almost the same as Teacher Wang's salary. The three elementary school students immediately stopped asking. But Teacher Wang, although he was a moonlighter, he could still save three or four hundred yuan by gritting his teeth and living frugally for a few months. So he gritted his teeth and borrowed money from Xiao Shichu to buy a pair.
When coming out of the sporting goods store, Teacher Wang became everyone's focus.
Student Li looked eagerly at the shoe box that Teacher Wang was holding tightly in his arms and said, "Teacher Wang, when we get back, can you lend me these shoes to wear?"
"Teacher Wang, Teacher Wang, I want to borrow it to try on too!" Student Wen also said quickly.
Even Xiaojie, although he didn't say it out loud, looked at Teacher Wang expectantly.
Teacher Wang shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to lend them to you. The roller skates I bought are for adults like me. You are still young and can't wear them at all."
"Ah? Then why don't we stuff some tissues into our shoes so we can wear them without them falling off?" Student Wen was smart and said immediately.
"Yes, you can stuff tissues or socks in them. My sister can't wear my mother's high heels, so I stuff her socks in them." Student Li immediately agreed.
Teacher Wang felt embarrassed when he heard this. Seeing their eager looks, he couldn't bear to refuse them, but he also didn't want to see his precious shoes being ruined like that.
Finally, it was Xiao Shichu who rescued him. He said to the three students, "Forget about stuffing tissues and socks. If they were ordinary shoes, as long as your feet could support walking after stuffing them, there would be no danger. But these are roller skates. If you don't wear them properly, it will be very dangerous to stand on them. You won't be able to control the wheels on the soles freely, and you will fall down if you are not careful. Fractures are not a big deal. The worst thing is to fall on the back of your head. If you are unlucky, you will be reincarnated directly."
"Yes, your Aunt Xiao is right. This kind of roller skates can't be worn casually. Even if it's the right pair of shoes, you still need practice before you can skate on the road. Isn't that what the shop assistants just told us?" Teacher Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
The three students were immediately disappointed. Xiao Jie suddenly said, "I really want to grow up soon. It would be great if I could be as tall as Teacher Wang. Then I can wear his shoes."
"Yes, when can I grow as tall as you, Teacher Wang?" Student Li immediately understood what Xiao Jie meant and couldn't wait to grow taller.
Teacher Wang was at a loss for words and said, "No matter how much you wish, it will take you several years to grow as tall as me. By then, my shoes might even be broken."
As they were talking, several people suddenly pushed towards them. There was clearly empty space on the road, so there was no need to squeeze with them, but they pushed towards them anyway, rushing around recklessly and rudely dispersing Xiao Shichu, Teacher Wang and the others.
Xiao Shichu immediately felt something was very strange, but she didn't think about anything else. She thought these people were local thugs who wanted to pick a fight with them, the outsiders.
However, before she could come up with a proper solution to the problem, she suddenly heard Teacher Wang shouting in panic: "Xiao Jie! Someone is snatching the child away!"
Xiao Shichu's heart sank suddenly. She angrily pulled the person who was blocking her aside and ran towards Teacher Wang, but there were still one or two people around who wanted to catch her.
She immediately understood that she was also one of the prey and these people wanted to do more than just steal a child.
The three people who had seen through their true intentions immediately wanted to catch Xiao Shichu, but Xiao Shichu was not a weak woman who could not even tie a chicken. In addition, she was now in a state of rage, so she showed no mercy at all and used ruthless moves. After a few moves, the three people who came to catch her fell down wailing, some covering their legs, some covering their arms, and some covering their stomachs...
After killing the three men, Xiao Shichu ran towards Teacher Wang and looked up just in time to see two men carrying Xiao Jie into a van on the street.
"Xiao Jie!"
"Help! Someone is snatching the child!"
"Help to stop them!"
…
Teacher Wang and students Li and Wen chased after Xiao Jie while shouting in panic. However, the people around them either turned a blind eye for fear of being dragged down, or were already accustomed to such things and were indifferent. Only three or two people came to help.
Xiao Jie was quickly stuffed into the van, and the two men also got in quickly. Then the van whooshed and drove forward at a speed as if it was risking its life.
