Chapter 302
After returning home, Yunmian dragged the plush bear, which had been wet and dirty by the snow water, to show it to her grandfather as if she were presenting a treasure. Then she approached her mother and asked her to open her palms mysteriously.
Yun Mujin tilted his head slightly, listened to his daughter's voice, and opened his palms towards her direction.
The next second, something hard was gently placed in his hand.
Yun Mujin tried to hold it tightly, and from the shape he felt that it should be a candy.
She was slightly stunned, probably because she didn't expect that what her daughter promised before leaving in the morning would actually be fulfilled for her when she came back.
The surprise that she had not expected but suddenly got made her subconsciously tighten the candy in her hand.
"Mom, I picked the watermelon flavor for you. Watermelon flavor is the sweetest~" Yunmian whispered in her mother's ear, and then shared: "I bought lychee flavor for grandpa, blueberry for grandma, and orange flavor for me. This way we can have four flavors of lollipops at once!"
Yun Mujin's scary empty eyes looked in the direction of his daughter who was talking in his ear. A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he praised without hesitation: "Mianmian is great, thank you Mianmian."
Upon hearing her mother's praise, little Yun Mianmian couldn't help but hold her face and smile foolishly. She sat on a small stool and obediently helped her mother to unwrap the candy wrappers. Then she went to get the lollipops that her grandparents had left on the table.
Yunmian knew that her grandparents would be reluctant to eat it and would definitely leave it for her and her mother.
So she tore it open first, and then when Grandpa was sitting beside her washing vegetables, she quickly held up the candy and touched his lips. When Grandpa wanted to refuse, she held up the candy and said confidently: "Grandpa, this candy has already touched your lips, you can't give it to others!"
It’s the same routine at grandma’s place. Anyway, the whole family must eat the candies that Yun Mianmian bought with the hard work of picking up garbage tonight!
Looking at the scene of her grandparents and mother all holding a lollipop in their mouths, Yun Mian proudly stood with her hands on her hips, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"Uncle, when I have money, I will buy you a lot of candies. I am too poor now..." At night, Yun Mian sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, counting her one yuan and fifty cents back and forth, while making a serious promise to the system uncle.
She wanted to buy candy with her uncle this afternoon because Uncle System helped her find the big bear and a lot of things that could be sold for money, but Uncle System refused.
It said it couldn't eat human food and that it was still a poor cub, and that she would buy it some candy when she earned more money.
Poor boy Yunmian compromised at once, and now he was holding his one dollar and fifty cents and sighing in worry.
"Mom, how can I make more money?" Yun Mian puffed her cheeks and rubbed her body against hers. Before she knew it, she rolled into her mother's arms. She wanted to stick close to her mother anytime and anywhere.
Yun Mujin patted her daughter's body and asked her gently, "Does Mianmian really want to make money?"
Yunmian nodded vigorously and said in a firm tone: "We have to make a lot of money. With the money, we can buy mom a new pair of glasses, let her read more books, and let grandpa and grandma no longer have to go out and pick up trash."
Even though she seemed carefree and happy the whole day, how could a five-year-old child not be tired after following her grandmother around the streets of the community and rummaging through trash cans all day?
She was so tired that her hands and feet were weak, but grandma and grandpa were so tired every day...
"Mom, grandpa and grandma have worked so hard to raise us..." Yunmian muttered softly while lying in her mother's arms, "I feel so sorry for them, but I can't make any money. I don't want grandpa and grandma to pick up trash forever to raise us."
Yun Mujin paused for a long time while patting her daughter on the back because of what she said. After a while, she resumed her action and comforted her, "Mianmian is still a child now. What a child should do is to sleep well, eat well, and grow up safely. This is the best reward for the hard work of grandparents."
Yunmian listened to her mother's words, but couldn't help but think of the security guard's casual sigh in the morning.
She perked up a little and asked her mother, "Why can't grandpa and grandma do something else? The security guard said we can set up a stall to sell vegetables. That way we can earn more money than picking up garbage."
And you don’t have to wander around the streets and communities all day, enduring the unpleasant and disgusting smell from garbage cans.
why not?
This time, Yun Mujin was silent even longer than before.
It took so long that the little one in the quilt could no longer hold on to her sleepiness and took long, slow breaths. Only then did she wake up from the memories that she thought she had long forgotten and let go.
Both her parents are highly educated professors who have made their own achievements in their respective fields. Even she herself was once a praised genius in the legal profession.
So what caused this family to fall to the point where they have to make a living by picking up garbage?
It is the hatred of innocent people being implicated, the oppression of those in high positions of power, and the desperate situation of being forced into a dead end by those with all-powerful hands...
Overnight, the entire family fell apart, her parents were fired from school, and filthy rumors were spread everywhere. She was dragged into a dark alley and raped, and her eyes were gouged out while she was still alive. She finally survived, but it seemed as if the whole world could no longer accommodate their family.
Without their original jobs, the family could no longer find any work. Even jobs like cashiering, washing dishes or even cleaning would be unreasonably fired the next day if they had just agreed to them the day before.
Of course, I tried setting up a street stall, but after just three or four days, a group of hooligans would rush over and overturn the stall again and again, and drive away all the customers...
Before he went blind, Yun Mujin was the most outstanding young lawyer in the industry and a legendary winner of every battle.
But after she became blind, she couldn't even keep a small stall for her parents.
She had completely become a burden to her parents. Not only was she blind, but her hands and feet seemed to have been cut off by invisible knives. She tried to commit suicide, but her young daughter was in her cradle, and her parents were old and had no one to rely on...
Yun Mujin was trapped in a dilemma. She didn't dare to die, but she was living a miserable life.
Six years ago, she never dared to dream that one day she would want to eat candy and would have to rely on her daughter to work hard to pick up garbage to buy it for her.
As for her parents...she had lost her eyes, so she couldn't even see how these six years had worn down her once easy-going and elegant parents into such a miserable state.
The saddest thing is that she has no way to get revenge. She knows who the enemy is, but she can only listen to him getting higher in position, while her family has become ants that can be easily crushed by the other party with just a slight move of his finger.
Yun Mujin withdrew her thoughts from the bloody, tearful and hateful past. She quietly exhaled the foul air that was so stuffy in her chest that it hurt, and gently hugged her daughter who had been sleeping in her arms. Her heart, which had been aching with anger, slowly calmed down.
It was a new day. Yunmian was ordered by her grandparents not to go out in the wind and snow, and could only stay in the house to take care of her mother.
Before leaving, Grandpa left some warm steamed buns in the pot for her and her mother, as well as two small bags of soy milk powder. When Yunmian and her mother were hungry, they could just soak the milk powder in the steamed buns and have a bite.
As soon as his grandparents left, the little kid who had promised them to stay at home and not run around immediately jumped up, dragged out the stuffed bear he had picked up yesterday, fetched water from the pipe, and squatted aside to wash it carefully.
Yun Mujin sat not far away, listening to his daughter's movements, fumbling with the process of picking vegetables in his hands, so that when his parents passed by the house at noon, they could still have a bite of hot meal.
The mother and daughter were busy with their own things and didn't seem to be working hard to make money.
I have to say that this picture of peaceful days really hurts the audience's eyes.
[I just can’t understand, their family is so poor, aren’t they worried?]
[…What’s the point of being anxious? Can being anxious make you rich overnight? Well, I really want to be anxious.]
[No, I seem to have some impression of this blind woman... Her eyes seemed to be blinded by a high-level player among the first batch of players, and now that player is still high up on the game leaderboard.]
[Hiss, now that you mentioned that, I seem to vaguely remember that the guy wanted to pursue this woman back then, right? But he was rejected, and there was some other grudge, so he killed this family.]
[Fuck, I think I know who you are talking about. If I remember correctly, the reason why this kid named Yunmian became a player this time was because he nominated her!]
[…When you think about it, it’s terrifying. This person is really a scumbag who is rotten to the core, much more cruel than us. No wonder he is ranked third on the list.]
[Wouldn't the family and the child be in danger? Facing such a behemoth, the thought of it makes me despair.]
[I feel a little pity for him. The little guy must not know how much terrible hatred his mother and grandparents carry, right?]
[When she thought about how this child would be bullied and oppressed by that scumbag in the future, even her current satisfaction and happiness would become completely unrecognizable...]
[That would be more fun, wouldn't it? This game is so cruel, who can blame him for being the third-highest player? If you control money, you control the lives of the lower class. I like this kind of player who will do anything to achieve his goal. I can't wait to see that scene.]
[Ah, so this child named Yunmian was destined to be a cannon fodder from the beginning? I thought she would be different, but she was controlled and played with by others from beginning to end. How pitiful...]
The system was originally teaching children how to use laundry detergent to wash the plush bear more cleanly, but the constant comments in the live broadcast room made its inner anger accumulate more and more, and finally the whole ball emitted a mess of light and flew around in the air as if its hair exploded.
Finally, it calmed down a little in the face of Mianmian's puzzled and innocent gaze, took a deep breath and told itself not to be impulsive, and then when the child turned his back and tried to squeeze out the water from the plush bear bit by bit, it suddenly opened the player wealth rankings.
Take a second to lock the target and click on the details.
Third place on the list, Tang Chen.
More information is hidden, and with the host's current level being the last, he can't see anything.
But the system still stared at the name fiercely. After more than ten seconds, it recorded the name in its system library, marked it in red, bolded it, and enlarged it!
From now on, this name is the only deep enemy between it, Mianmian, and the Yun family!
System: Mianmian rush, defeat him!
Mian Mian: (holding 1.5 yuan tightly) Hmm!!
You're late! Freshly baked cotton balls, 50 cents each, first come first served!
