"I know you and Brother Fu were married. On the day of your wedding, the wedding car parked half the street. I saw it on my way to work. You are also a member of the Fu family now, and my last name is Pan. I... I actually saw you recruiting people a long time ago, and I was entangled for a long time before I came to your door."

Talking about these things in the bookstore would affect other people's business, so Lin Yuyao asked her to go upstairs.

"Come with me, we'll talk upstairs."

"Why."

The upper floor has been renovated and the windows are open for ventilation, so there is no smell.

Pan Xiaohua looked at the spacious and bright office in a daze, "Is this the office of your studio?"

"Yes, but it's not in use yet. Please take a seat."

Pan Xiaohua nodded and sat down opposite her.

Lin Yuyao had heard from Fu Leyi that the two sisters in the Pan family were actually pretty nice people.

She didn't spend much time with Pan Xiaohua, and during the days when they lived across the street, it seemed that Pan Xiaohua was indeed different from her family, so Lin Yuyao was willing to let her come up.

"You're selling clothes in a department store. I remember the commissions for men's clothing are very high. You should be making a lot of money a month. Why did you suddenly quit and come here to look for a job? I can't afford to pay you that much here."

"Alas!" Pan Xiaohua sighed and said, "It's all my fault that I owe a debt, a debt that I will never be able to pay off in my lifetime."

Lin Yuyao was puzzled when she heard this. "What debt have you owed that you can't pay off in your lifetime?"

"What other debts could there be? The debt of giving birth to my child, the debt of raising my child. I have to give them my whole self to pay off this debt."

Lin Yuyao: “…” Is she being held hostage by morality?

This trick can only be defeated by morality.

No one can help her, she can only save herself.

"I did make a lot of money there. The commissions for the expensive men's clothing were really high. In the best month, I made more than 150 yuan. My base salary was only 50 yuan, and the commissions were more than 100 yuan."

That's a lot.

"I earned more than 150 yuan and sent 100 yuan back to them, but they still felt it was not enough and asked me for more money. I got angry and refused to give them money. When I didn't give them money the next month, my eldest brother called and scolded me."

"Wait." Lin Yuyao interrupted her and asked, "How did your brother know your phone number?"

Pan Xiaohua said: "I told them because I was afraid they would worry. I told them the phone number of where I work, where I rented a house, and where I still work."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"I thought that since our family is in such a state, we all need to work together to deal with it. But I didn't expect them to squeeze me so hard and always ask me for money with various excuses. I was so angry that I refused to give them money, and they called me to scold me. My eldest brother even threatened to come to me and let my boss judge."

"So you're afraid she'll come looking for you, so you'll quit?"

"No, our boss is a man. One time, our boss answered the phone and he scolded me. He also said that I made so much money because I slept with him..." Pan Xiaohua's face turned red when she said this.

I guess she didn't say anything more unpleasant.

Lin Yuyao knew how much her elder brother, who had learned a lot from the old lady, could mess around.

"My boss has a family, and he scolded me like that. Others also pointed fingers at me, and my boss was also pointed at. I was too embarrassed to stay there, so I resigned."

Rumors can kill people these days, and when such words get out, it is indeed a very serious problem.

Such behavior problems can be classified as hooliganism, and the maximum penalty for hooliganism is the death penalty.

"But if he really comes looking for you, won't he find you here too?"

"I told him I got news about my second brother. I said I went to Guangzhou to look for him and I would call him when I found him."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Can he believe it?"

"Then he can't really come to see me. The round-trip ticket is not cheap. Besides, even if he really comes, food and drinks will cost money, so he can't stay here for too long."

"But can he trust you to go to Guangzhou? Your mother is still serving her sentence here."

"No, no, my mother went back to her hometown."

Um?

"Can I change my prison?"

"Yes, in some special cases, such as when the person is elderly, in poor health, or when it is inconvenient for family members to visit. I have been applying for her to be transferred to another prison for the past few months, and I finally succeeded last month."

so it is.

"Did you move to your hometown?"

"Yes, my eldest brother and his friends can go visit her in the future, and I won't have to waste time here."

"That's great, so why do you choose to stay here?"

Pan Xiaohua thought for a while, then frowned and said, "I don't want to stay in my hometown anyway. They can suck my blood dry. Actually, I also want to go to other places, but I'm a young girl, I'm alone, I don't dare to go to unfamiliar places. Apart from my hometown, I'm only familiar with this place, I don't dare to go anywhere else."

Looking at her making so much noise, I didn't expect that she would also say that I was timid.

But then again, it is indeed unsafe for single women to be out there these days, and it is hard to guard against all kinds of scams targeting young women.

Besides, she is pretty, the type that would be easily targeted by dangerous people.

She probably hadn't talked to anyone she knew for a long time, and she couldn't tell her new friend about her family matters, so she started talking to Lin Yuyao.

After my mother was imprisoned, my eldest brother became more and more violent, and my eldest sister-in-law lived a miserable life with him.

I thought I could stand up straighter after having a son, but my life got worse and worse.

Poor little niece, she has to work with her mother using only one arm.

Last year, I wanted to treat her arm injury, so I dropped out of school and she has not been to school since then.

"And my little sister will graduate after this semester. I want to bring her out when the time comes. Otherwise, if she stays in my hometown, my eldest brother might sell her off for a dowry."

"How old is your little sister?" Lin Yuyao asked.

"Seventeen."

Seventeen?

"What did she graduate from?"

"junior high school."

Lin Yuyao: “…” Another one who started studying late.

Her younger sister is considered the older daughter in their family.

She talked a lot and finally asked about her second brother.

I felt a little embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before asking.

"My second brother, did he contact my second sister-in-law... no, did he contact Miss Fu?"

This is her purpose today, right?

"Never heard of it." She was telling the truth.

After Pan Hong left, it was as if he had disappeared, and there has been no news of him since.

Of course, Fu Leyi had her own new life and didn't ask about him.

"Alas!" Pan Xiaohua sighed, lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then asked, "Ms. Lin, do you think I can do it?"

Lin Yuyao said, "To be honest, you are not suitable."

"Ah? This... serving tea and water, I can do that too."
