"Ah Wan, what's wrong?"
Due to inertia, Fu Ming was thrown out violently. If it weren't for the seatbelt and his quick grab on the car door, he would have almost suffered a serious injury.
"Someone is going to jump into the river!"
Fu Wan threw down a sentence, then quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and ran outside.
Fu Ming belatedly looked in the direction Fu Wan had run, and unexpectedly saw a figure wiping away tears as she slowly waded into the river.
Oh my god, someone actually jumped into the river!
Fu Ming hurriedly unbuckled his seatbelt and followed.
"Comrade, what are you doing!"
Fu Wan waded through the river and ran over, grabbing the person without saying a word and dragging him to the bank.
The man tried to break free, but Fu Wan's hands were like iron clamps, and he couldn't break free no matter what he did.
Fu Wan pulled her ashore before letting go. Fortunately, the water where the person had just gone in wasn't deep, and Fu Wan herself only got her trousers a little wet.
"Comrade, what foolish thing are you doing? Have you encountered some difficulties?"
Fu Wan spoke softly. The person in front of her was a young girl who was not yet twenty years old. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her bangs were a mess.
Fu Ming also ran over at this moment, but when the girl saw Fu Ming, a look of fear flashed across her face.
Seeing this, Fu Wan simply turned to Fu Ming and said, "Brother, go wait for me in the car!"
Fu Ming could tell that the little girl was afraid of him, so he nodded and turned to leave.
“Don’t be afraid, that’s my brother. We just happened to be passing by and saw you…” Fu Wan paused, then reached out to brush the leaves off her hair.
"Have you been bullied? Should I call the police for you?"
The woman seemed dazed and confused. Fu Wan had to ask her several times before she finally shook her head.
Then she replied in a weak voice, "No, thank you."
Although the voice was soft, Fu Wan could hear the certainty in her tone.
"No one is bullying me, comrades, you can go now!"
Although she said she hadn't been bullied, Fu Wan could hear the despair in her tone. She was pretty sure that if she left, the girl would probably run into the river again in the next second.
“Young lady, I’m probably a few years older than you. The despair you’re going through now is something I’ve also experienced before.”
But death cannot solve the problem; it only brings pain to loved ones and joy to enemies. I see you're educated, so you should understand what this means.
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl's expression changed, and the resentment in her eyes became obvious, clearly indicating that she had been wronged.
Seeing that it was effective, Fu Wan continued, "I also know some people in the police station. Tell me what happened to you, and I'll see if I can help you."
Meeting is fate. The girl in front of her is so young, Fu Wan absolutely cannot watch her jump into the river and end her life.
Unexpectedly, after Fu Wan said this, the girl's face first showed a hint of expectation, which was then immediately replaced by disappointment.
"Thank you, but you can't help me. The police have no jurisdiction over my case."
Fu Wan almost laughed when she heard this. In this day and age, is there anything the police can't handle?
Perhaps seeing that Fu Wan didn't seem like a bad person, the young girl also wanted to confide in someone. After hesitating for a few seconds, she began to recount her experiences in fits and starts.
The little girl's surname was Li, and her given name was Ruonan. This name sounded much better than those of the other girls in the village, such as Pandi and Zhaodi, but the underlying meaning was almost the same.
Li Ruonan was born into a dual-income family. She is the second child in her family, with a younger brother who is two years younger than her.
From a young age, Li Ruonan knew that she was different from her younger brother. Her brother could eat meat and eggs, while they could only eat vegetables and cornbread. Her brother could wear new clothes without patches, while she and her older sister had to wear clothes that were patched and altered by the adults.
It's called clothes, but it's actually more like a rag.
But Li Ruonan didn't care. As long as her family could let her study, she didn't mind eating vegetables and cornbread, or even just drinking plain water.
Fortunately, Li Ruonan's younger brother wasn't a good student. To save money on a tutor, her parents gritted their teeth and let her go to school with him. Because of Li Ruonan's outstanding grades, she was admitted to high school with excellent results.
Her high school waived her tuition fees, hoping she could get into university and make the school proud.
Li Ruonan lived up to the school's expectations and completed the college entrance examination with good results. In order to get away from her suffocating family of origin, she specifically applied to Shanghai, which is very far away from Longhai City.
However, while her classmates were receiving their university admission notices one after another, she did not receive one from a university in Shanghai until the start of the semester.
It was at that time that Li Ruonan's younger brother, holding his admission notice from Shanghai, boarded the train triumphantly.
Li Ruonan is not stupid; on the contrary, she is very smart.
Given her brother's intelligence, it would have been impossible for him to get into a university in Shanghai. After she graduated from high school, her parents frantically introduced her to potential partners and arranged blind dates for her.
It was as if they were already certain that she wouldn't be able to go to university.
Li Ruonan still had expectations for family ties, but those expectations vanished completely after she realized that her younger brother had snatched the university she had worked so hard to get into.
Li Ruonan caused a scene at home twice, but her parents and grandparents ignored her completely. Her father even bluntly said that she and her sister were born to be sacrificed for her brother.
In a moment of panic, Li Ruonan wanted to report the incident to the police, but after she arrived at the police station and explained the situation, the police contacted her family and sent her home.
Li Ruonan's parents told the police that she failed her college entrance exam and had gone insane.
After that, Li Ruonan was locked in the house by her parents, unable to go out or communicate with the outside world.
Li Ruonan attempted suicide by cutting her wrists twice, but was saved each time. This time, if it weren't for the fact that they needed Li Ruonan to go on a blind date, she wouldn't have had a chance to escape.
But without identification or a letter of introduction, and knowing that reporting to the police would lead to her arrest, Li Ruonan, who had escaped, felt that she had lost all hope of survival.
For some reason, in a state of utter despair, she walked to the riverbank. Looking at her disheveled reflection in the water, she once again contemplated suicide.
Unexpectedly, Fu Wan, who was passing by, saw them.
After saying all that, Li Ruonan's mood improved considerably. Fu Wan reached out and wiped the tears from her face, then sighed.
"Comrade Li, if you really die like this, do you think your family will be heartbroken?"
Li Ruonan paused for a moment, then shook her head with a mocking smile.
Heartbroken? How could those people be heartbroken? Even if they were heartbroken, it would only be because their precious son lost a blood pack.
Fu Wan patted her shoulder, "That's it. Although what you're doing is also resistance, the price of resistance is too high."
Things haven't reached the point of no return. How about this, let me first check if you've actually been accepted into a university in Shanghai.
