Someone else quietly raised the question, "Did the blogger get the owner's consent to post this photo?"
Li Li was stunned and silently deleted the high-definition picture again.
Jiang Xi naturally had no idea that the girl she had so eagerly sought out for a photo had actually done something like this online, sparking a small but lively discussion. In the koala's pocket in front of her, the Fruit 6 was vibrating happily.
As an unwritten rule, most service industries do not allow employees to use communication tools during work hours.
But this is Jiang's mother's phone call...
"Take it." Lu Yuan, the coffee shop boy who was greeting her, said blushingly, "The manager is a good person, he won't mind these things."
Jiang Xi then covered her skirt pocket and went to the corridor to answer the phone. It was indeed Jiang's mother, asking her when she would be back.
"Mom, I'm afraid I'll be back a little late today, you and Dad should eat first."
The coffee shop has two shifts: morning and evening shifts and a regular day shift. At Jiang Xi's insistence, Cheng Cheng only assigned her to the regular day shift, but it would be at least 5:30 when she got off work.
"It's okay. Do you want Dad to pick you up?"
Jiang Xi refused outright. Not long after she returned to her post at the door, the glass door was opened from the outside. A tall figure walked in slowly with his hands in his pockets. She raised the corners of her mouth and bowed:
"Welcome!"
The sound seemed to attract the visitor's attention. The man lowered his eyes and only saw the top of the dark chestnut hair.
"Han Chen, here!"
It took Jiang Xi less than an hour to confirm that she was not hallucinating - she was indeed reborn.
There is still time for everything.
Jiang Xi didn't ask why the thief God didn't just be kind and send her to the time before she was abducted. Instead, she felt that the timing was just right, and she felt a little indescribable sense of security: perhaps after being abused for so long, being too lucky made her feel uneasy, and a little bit of luck was enough.
Jiang Xi had a deep memory of this tile-roofed house. During the countless days and nights she was beaten and abused in Sangjia Dang, she had simulated escaping countless times in her mind and knew the experience almost by heart.
"Xiaoling, go back and sit down, someone is coming soon."
Sure enough, not long after Jiang Xi finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "clang", and the old wooden door in the countryside bounced on the wall.
A rural woman in her thirties with hair like a chicken coop came in, thrashing around: "What are you howling for? Are you all howling? If you howl again, I'll send you to see the King of Hell tonight!"
With a "clang", an iron basin fell to the ground.
Of course, it’s not like at home, where a meal of rice is served with several dishes, and you can pick and choose, and if you don’t like it, you can put down the bowl.
There was a big pot of thin porridge, made from old rice from who knows when, with a few rotten leaves floating on top. Occasionally, you could see the corpses of insects floating there dejectedly. It was common to get your teeth broken by stones when you took a bite.
I ate thin porridge every meal, barely enough to avoid starvation.
Don't want to eat? Sure.
I continued to be hungry for the next two meals.
The beggars will not feel pity for the poor and weak just because you are young - apart from the little bit of human skin on the outside to deceive people, the heart in your chest is probably rotten long ago.
When the iron basin came down, the children who had been crying just now all gathered around and waited to be served porridge.
Most of them were young children like Xiaoling, at the age when they could run and jump and be hated by everyone, but they were all as quiet as chickens and too well-behaved. There were not many children as old as Jiangxi.
There are certain rules for beggars when they kidnap people; they won't take just anyone.
Young girls her age were the most popular; a fresh, juicy flower with many buyers, easy to sell, and fetching a high price. However, they wouldn't take older teenagers, as they were difficult to manage and had nowhere to go. Then there were the five- or six-year-olds, still naive and ignorant, who were also in season, often eager to buy them from families unable to bear sons.
It's Jiangxi's turn.
Jiang Xi lowered his head and took the chipped porcelain bowl, and for the first time he started eating honestly on the spot.
The porridge-delivering girl snorted coldly, apparently very satisfied with the quietness of this troublemaker, and said in a roundabout way:
"In my place, even if you were a fairy before, you have to behave yourself when you come here! Only when you are obedient can you have food to eat, otherwise..." Looking around with slanted eyes, the children couldn't help shivering and quickened the speed of eating porridge.
Of course Jiang Xi wouldn't argue with her——
That was something she had only been able to do in her previous life.
No matter how powerful the talk is, it’s useless. These people have plenty of ways to deal with troublemakers.
It was only her second day here, and she was being slammed against the wall. She needed to learn her lesson and lower her opponent's guard. As for the children around her—Jiang Xi tightened her already pitiful sympathy and pretended not to see it.
"Xiaoxi...are you full?"
A timid voice sounded, and Jiang Xi knew without turning around that it was her deskmate who was abducted together with her: Sun Ting.
In this room, there are three people of the same age as her, all women.
A female college student, who was said to have had too much fun in a nightclub and came here under the influence of drugs, had an ordinary appearance and her thin clothes had become tattered and smelly after being tossed around for a long time. She was currently thinking about something with her head down.
But Jiang Xi knew: this person is definitely not an easy person to deal with.
