Aunt Lu Baiwei came to Beijing this time to assist Su Changyao in handling various procedures and documents. She did not stay in Beijing for too long and soon went south with Su Changyao.
At the same time, in a remote village near the provincial capital railway station.
From the shabby house came the sound of a man beating and scolding a woman with a child.
If Lu Baiwei and her aunt were here at this moment, they would find that the woman who was tied up and beaten was Lu Jiaojiao, the one who had cheated people in the square of the provincial capital railway station.
"You only managed to swindle this little money in one day. Did you hide the money?"
Under the dim light in the shabby house, the muscular man looked ferocious and lashed Lu Jiaojiao with the whip in his hand without mercy.
Lu Jiaojiao screamed: "Brother Shan, stop hitting me, I didn't hide any money."
"I ran into some cops today. They were chasing beggars at the train station and they chased us everywhere."
"I was afraid of being caught by the police and exposing our place, so I hurried back. I really didn't hide any money."
The man who beat Lu Jiaojiao whipped her and said, "What did you say? Are we being targeted by the police?"
"How did the police target you?"
She was beaten so hard that Lu Jiaojiao gasped.
She pretended to be pitiful: "Brother Shan, how could I know that I would be targeted by the police?"
Lu Jiaojiao tried to get away with it, but the woman who was tied up with ropes in the corner of the room betrayed her.
"Brother Shan, I know what's going on."
"She caused the trouble. She ran after a woman a few days ago, calling her aunt and asking someone to take her to the capital to find her sister."
"The man with that woman is a big guy. He looks very impressive. He is no ordinary person."
The tied-up woman glared at Lu Jiaojiao with hatred: "We have been doing this at the train station for so long, and we haven't been discovered by the police."
"She took her child out to beg for food a few times and was immediately targeted by the police."
"She must have provoked someone she shouldn't have provoked, and the police came."
The kidnapped woman expressed her sincere feelings: "Brother Shan, she is the one who harmed us."
"You trusted the wrong person, Brother Shan. He is not like me, who is loyal to you..."
As the woman continued to stir up trouble, the man whipped Lu Jiaojiao with the whip again.
Lu Jiaojiao jumped up from the ground in pain, but the whip followed her like a shadow and she had nowhere to escape.
"Brother Shan, listen to me, I didn't."
However, no matter how Lu Jiaojiao tried to explain, the man in front of her, named Shan Ge, kept chasing her and whipping her.
"Okay, I saved a white-eyed wolf, right?"
"If I hadn't taken you in when you were stranded at the train station, you would have been kidnapped to some remote mountain area by someone."
"You're repaying kindness with enmity. You want the police to arrest me, right?"
"no."
Lu Jiaojiao covered her face with her arms and howled in pain: "Brother Shan, you bitch, you are talking nonsense. The police are recently carrying out a special operation to crack down on fraud and deception. All those who work in our industry have withdrawn from the train station."
"You have to believe me, Brother Shan."
"If you go to the train station and take a look, you will know that I am not lying. I really am not lying to you..."
Finally, after Lu Jiaojiao's repeated assurances, the man named Shan Ge stopped whipping her.
When the door of the dilapidated house was locked again, Lu Jiaojiao was not only tired and hungry, but also felt dizzy from the pain.
No one sympathized with her. She fell on the floor of the broken house like a dead fish, cold and hungry. Lu Jiaojiao trembled and fell to the ground.
Just now a whip hit her head and it was burning with pain. She was really cold and hungry, her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness and passed out.
Before she lost consciousness, she told herself that she must escape from this den of wolves.
Why was she sold to a remote mountain area and tortured to the point where she was neither human nor ghost in her previous life?
In this life, he repeated the tragic fate of his previous life. First, he was imprisoned. After finally completing his three-year sentence, he fell into the hands of a group of kidnappers at the train station and was forced to do fraudulent work.
How nice it would have been if Lu Baiwei's soft-hearted aunt had been willing to take her to the capital a few days ago!
She might have a way out...
Lu Jiaojiao dreams of having a way to survive, but when she wakes up she has to repeat the life of being forced to cheat and defraud others.
If they didn't get any money out of scams, they wouldn't be given any food, and they would often go hungry one day and full the next.
In addition, the provincial police launched a two-month special campaign to crack down on fraud and deception, and she was often forced to hide from place to place.
As a last resort, in order to evade arrest by the police, the people who controlled her moved her location, changing her base where she rummaged through garbage cans from the provincial capital train station to a department store near the bus station.
It was this change of location that rekindled her hope for life.
I don’t know when it started, but the usually empty department store was cordoned off outside, and the square was crowded with people queuing up every day. There was also a red silk cloth hung with words like “Pengcheng Job Fair” written on it.
Lu Jiaojiao was rummaging through the trash can mechanically while the child in her arms was crying loudly.
An old lady passing by felt sorry for her and stopped.
"Girl, what's going on between you and the child?"
Business is coming.
Lu Jiaojiao's tears welled up in an instant. With a dirty face, she looked up pitifully.
"Sister, I was kicked out by my man, and he beat me and the child."
Lu Jiaojiao hugged the child and rolled up her sleeves to show the aunt: "Sister, look at the wounds on my body, they were all caused by my man."
"If I don't take my child and run away, he will beat my mother and me to death."
"I haven't eaten for a few days since I escaped. I'm starving."
The aunt accompanied her daughter to attend some kind of job fair in the provincial capital, which was organized by the provincial labor bureau. I heard that they were recruiting people to work in Pengcheng, and the monthly salary was 100 yuan.
I heard that many of the companies cooperating with the provincial labor bureau are foreign-funded enterprises from Shenzhen.
If you work there, you will not only get a salary, but also overtime pay for overtime work.
Seeing that Lu Jiaojiao and her daughter were pitiful, the aunt stuffed two leftover steamed buns into her arms and said, "Poor girl, hurry up and give the child some steamed buns to fill his stomach."
"Thank you, sister. You are so kind. My mother and I have been begging for food for a few days, but no one paid attention to me..."
Lu Jiaojiao cried and wanted to ask the old lady for money.
Seeing how pitiful she was, the old lady gave her some advice: "Girl, I'll show you a way."
"It's not a good idea for you to continue like this."
The old lady pointed to the job fair in the square and told Lu Jiaojiao: "Do you see that? They are recruiting people to work in Pengcheng. I heard that the monthly salary is 100 yuan. You work eight hours a day, and you get extra overtime pay for overtime."
"I heard from the person at the Labor Bureau that they provide food and accommodation, and with the monthly salary and overtime pay, I can save more than 100 yuan!"
Finally figured out what this job fair was all about.
If she could go to Pengcheng, she would be able to completely get rid of the gang that controlled her.
Lu Jiaojiao dreamed of changing the current situation. When she heard the news, her eyes lit up.
The old lady felt sorry for her and took out fifty cents from her pocket and said, "Girl, I'll give you fifty cents to buy an admission ticket. Come on and try it."
