The women who came with Zhao Guifen all tried to persuade her.
"Guifen, don't cry. It's a blessing that Shishi is alright. Get up and take the child home."
"Although the soldiers ruined Shishi's reputation, they didn't do it on purpose. It's just that Shishi was being immature and insisted on running away."
"Yes, Guifen, aren't you putting the soldiers in a difficult position?"
"If Shishi's reputation is gone, it's gone. We can't force people to change it. Isn't that beastly?"
It sounds like they're trying to exonerate Xie Lin, but their words imply that he ruined the girl's reputation and was irresponsible; he's a complete beast.
It was a clever move to retreat in order to advance; he underestimated the ruthlessness of the village woman.
The woman, who was crying and wailing, was burly and strong, indicating that her life was not very difficult.
The little girl, however, was very thin, her clothes were covered with patches, and her trousers didn't even cover her ankles; it was hard to tell how many years ago those clothes were.
The cloth shoes on his feet were all torn, and his round toes were showing on both feet.
This shows how difficult life was for the little girl at home.
No, given the character of the other two women, one could say that the little girl also had a very difficult life in this village.
Now they're putting on an act of valuing the little girl so much—how ironic!
Seeing that the bad guy hadn't returned the car, Shishi got a little annoyed.
She was hungry.
She's a particular kind of zombie; she doesn't eat rotten flesh or brains.
I only like the bright, round, pork-flavored, crunchy things in my mind.
There are no zombies here, only smelly humans. There's nothing sparkly to eat, so she needs to find brains.
With a fierce expression on her face, she bared her teeth at Xie Lin, thinking she looked intimidating.
"Ho ho, ho ho ho, ho!"
In his panic, he even started speaking zombie language.
Xie Lin looked completely bewildered.
Sorry, he doesn't understand very well.
Glug glug~~~
An untimely noise interrupted her ferocity, and she immediately clutched her stomach, frantically counting on her fingers.
"Shishi hasn't eaten Yuanyuan for three days, she's hungry."
She held up five fingers.
Her eyes, misty with tears, looked pitifully at Xie Lin.
She indicated that he could compensate her with sparkling crystals and use the car to pay off the debt, so she wouldn't have to repay it for the time being.
After finishing the glittery snack, she denied the debt and asked him for the car back.
She's a clever zombie.
Xie Lin: ...Wow, he can even count.
The little girl's clear, innocent eyes, devoid of worldly calculations, softened his heart.
In particular, the cunning little thoughts she thought she had hidden well in her eyes inexplicably added to her cuteness.
For some reason, he couldn't bear to let such a pure young girl stay and be bullied again, so he agreed without thinking.
"Okay, I'll take you to get something to eat."
"Brother Lin."
"battalion commander."
The four men standing nearby grew anxious.
What this sentence means, those who need to understand will understand.
They came here with ulterior motives. It would have been better if he hadn't spoken. Once he did, how could the leeches let go of the blood source?
Xie Lin gestured to his brothers to be quiet; he knew what to do.
He was abandoned as a child, and it was only by good luck that he survived and joined the army.
The kind of suffering of not knowing if you'll live to see tomorrow can only be truly understood by those who have experienced it.
If the little girl stays, she will probably pay with her life.
It's just a matter of sharing a meal; it just means one more mouth to feed in the family.
He receives a monthly allowance of 84 yuan, plus task rewards and other benefits, which is enough to support him.
The girl's injuries were clearly caused by someone, but there's no evidence, and the girl seems rather naive, so it's uncertain whether the perpetrator can be identified.
Furthermore, even if the person who hurt her is identified, can we guarantee that she won't be hurt by a second person?
This village cannot tolerate her!
Only by taking her away can we protect her.
Zhao Guifen immediately stopped howling, wiped her chrysanthemum-like face, nimbly got up, and stretched out her hand.
"Give me 300 yuan, and you can take the person with you."
That little bitch got incredibly lucky. Not only is she a soldier, but she also has a very handsome face. She's so lucky.
Right? Where did these greenhorns come from? They're so dark-skinned, they're just as rough as the guys who work in the fields all year round.
She had seen soldiers before, and they weren't usually this dark-skinned.
Forget it, who cares? It doesn't matter if it's legal or illegal, as long as I get the money.
By the way, since I'm Zhou Shi's mother, I need to bring some practical gifts to win her over.
Ideally, we could get our son a job in the city, save up for now, and when he grows up, he'll be a city dweller.
She's the mother of a city dweller, so naturally she can also receive a government job.
The thought of living a life where you can eat and drink well without having to work is wonderful.
As she stretched out her hand in her dream, she heard: "Lu Fan, I'm going to town to report to the police that someone is murdering someone."
"Take your men and go to the village. You must find the culprit."
After speaking, Xie Lin tugged at Zhou Shi's sleeve and turned to head towards the town.
As a brother, Lu Fan could tell his brother's intentions at a glance.
The person who can extort him is probably not even born yet.
"Okay, I'll take my men to the village now, and we'll meet up in town."
Zhao Guifen turned pale and staggered forward to stop them.
"You're not allowed to leave. I won't let you take Shishi away for nothing."
It has to be said that she does have some brains; she figured out the key point in just a few steps.
If this were reported to the police, she would be in deep trouble.
She regretted it.
If I had known that soldiers were not easy to extort, I shouldn't have said anything. I could have just gone to the next place.
But she wasn't intimidated; the brat had bumped her forehead herself.
She's an idiot and has no idea who pushed her, so how can we find out?
Xie Lin stopped in his tracks, his eyes still as cold as frost in winter.
"Didn't you say she's your daughter? She was injured and fell into the water, and I picked her up. As her mother, shouldn't you seek justice for your daughter?"
"Didn't you say I was being a pervert? Well, here's your chance to report me for being a pervert."
Although he had already planned to take the little girl away from suffering, it didn't mean he would let himself be extorted.
Is his money so easy to take?
Rather than giving it to such a greedy person, it would be better to save it to buy more supplements for the young girl.
Zhao Guifen was so choked up that her face turned red. Why wasn't this person following the script?
If it were anyone else, being labeled a hooligan would have scared them into taking responsibility long ago.
Many young people in the village used this method to scam educated youth.
She opened her mouth, but Xie Lin didn't give her a chance; he heard the little girl's stomach growling again.
They've been starving for days.
"Come on, you come too. Even though family members can't be witnesses, don't you still have a few old friends?"
The two women who came with Zhao Guifen exchanged a glance, chuckled, and left after saying they were going home for dinner.
What a joke! How dare a mouse face a cat?
They were just taking a break from work and came out for a walk. Zhao Guifen said there were people fishing by the river and they might be able to catch a fish or two, so they came along.
As a result, they didn't get any bargains and instead ran into Zhou Shi, that idiot, being pulled out of the river.
Isn't this just asking Zhao Guifen for benefits and acting in her shoes?
Who would have thought I'd have to see the police and the police? What else could I do but run away?
