Chapter 62: Seeking Fame
Ye Jinmo asked Tan Qinghuan to take a bath.
She rummaged through the clothes she had brought with her, most of which had no labels since they were custom-made.
This time, Zhong's mother prepared enough clothes for her. She gave half of them to Tan Qinghuan and she couldn't wear all of them herself.
When Tan Qinghuan came out of the bathroom, he saw a pile of clean clothes on the table, and next to it were several sets of underwear with the tags still on.
Ye Jinmo explained: "I see your luggage is all wet. I brought a lot of clothes this time, so I'll give you half. These underwear are all new."
As if she expected the other party to refuse, she raised her hand and shook her index finger: "If you regard me as a friend, accept my help."
Tan Qinghuan pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red.
The two girls chatted until midnight.
Ye Jinmo learned that Tan Qinghuan was already 22 years old. Her mother was trafficked to a remote mountain village in Chun County, Xizhou Province. After giving birth to her at the age of 17, she became pregnant with three babies, all of which were girls. They were drowned by their father before they were born. When her younger brother was finally left, her mother almost died from severe bleeding during childbirth and also lost her fertility.
Her original name was Wu Zhaodi. She started primary school at the age of ten. She attended school intermittently and suffered a lot. She was admitted to a provincial key high school. In this college entrance examination, she scored 720 points and became the top scorer in Xizhou Province.
"Sister Qinghuan, what about your mother?" Ye Jinmo was sad when she heard that.
Tan Qinghuan smiled, his eyes firm: "I used the 500,000 yuan scholarship given by the county to buy my mother's freedom. I brought her to the imperial capital and rented a small house. I was worried about my mother staying there."
"Will they agree to it?" Ye Jinmo has heard too many news reports about human trafficking, but only a few of them can come out.
"They didn't agree at first, but I pushed their good son into the well and almost drowned him, and then they relented."
After a pause, Tan Qinghuan continued, "My mother has lost her fertility and cannot do heavy work. She has lost her value to them. I used 500,000 yuan to buy out my relationship with them. I registered my household registration with my mother and changed my name to my mother's."
She spoke a few words lightly, as if all the suffering she had experienced before was unimportant.
But it took her twenty-two years to walk this road from the mountains to the imperial capital!
Ye Jinmo held her hand tightly, eyes full of heartache.
Tan Qinghuan seemed to be relieved and shook her hand back: "It's okay, you know, my name was given by my mother. At that time, her mental state was still normal. She said that she was born into a wealthy family and had been living a life of luxury since childhood. She hoped that I would be happy in this life. I made up my mind to take her away at that time. When the Imperial University Admissions Office found me, my only request was to help me rent a house."
She was silent for a while, then she spoke again with a choked voice: "I applied to the medical department. I want to cure my mother. She is now mentally ill, has several old injuries and fractures, and it is difficult for her to walk.
I must cure her.”
They talked all night and hit it off immediately.
Tan Qinghuan did not mention the specific condition of his mother, and Ye Jinmo did not ask any further questions.
The two of them tacitly agreed to stop there and there was still a long way to go.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, all the students gathered.
The teacher in charge of this summer camp briefly described the tasks of the first phase: using intangible cultural heritage techniques to make items related to one's own major.
Ye Jinqian and Ye Chong are instructors in the School of Medicine.
After discussion among everyone, the Medical Department decided to produce sachets in a unified manner.
But you need to find the medicinal materials needed for the sachet yourself.
Ye Jinmo found out that there was a century-old pharmacy in Xi Town, and she bought a lot of spices there.
But there is one precious spice missing: ambergris.
She came out of the drugstore carrying the things she had bought.
I saw a group of people gathered not far away, and I could faintly hear words from the crowd.
The old man...fell...
She walked quickly forward and saw a white-haired old man lying in the middle of the road. He was dressed simply, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his right hand was covering his chest.
She could tell at a glance that the man was in an emergency condition and would die if he wasn't treated in time!
She temporarily stored the things in the store she had just been to, turned back, and was about to squat down to check on the old man's condition while calling 120.
The next second, someone grabbed her arm.
"Sister, don't go, be careful of being blackmailed!"
Turning around, she saw Ye Shuran standing behind her, her face full of worry.
People around also began to persuade.
"Yeah, who dares to help the elderly nowadays? Be careful of being blackmailed and losing everything!"
"That's right, I just helped an old lady last month, and she blackmailed me for three thousand!"
…
Ye Jinmo pulled back her arm: "Then we should at least call 120."
"I advise you to leave it alone, so as not to get into trouble!"
Before he could finish his words, the old man on the ground slowly opened his eyes with a look of pain on his face.
"Save me, I...I won't cheat anyone..."
At this time, a mocking voice came from the crowd: "Hey, are you going to be a big victim?"
Ye Jinmo turned around and saw Zhou Yue walking out of the crowd with his arms folded across his chest.
Ye Shuran hurried forward and held her back: "Yueyue, stop talking."
"Shu Ran, is this kind of person worthy of your warning? Humph, this kind of evil-minded old man will only bring bad luck if you help him."
"But I can't just watch my sister jump into the fire. After all, she..."
Zhou Yue interrupted her: "The Ye family only adopted her for a period of time. Don't let this bring bad luck to her."
People around also advised him.
"Yes, your sister is doing this for your own good, go away!"
"In a place like this, the amount of money they extort from you is at least five figures!"
…
Ye Jinmo took out his cell phone, dialed 120, and then squatted down to check the old man's body.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shuran burst into tears: "Sister, why didn't you listen to me? I was doing this for your own good. You can't help an old man like this!"
"I know you're studying medicine, but you can't get yourself into trouble just for fame!"
After hearing this, everyone realized what was going on.
Saving an old man on the roadside for the sake of a good reputation.
Seeing that the thoughts of the people around him were aroused, Ye Shuran's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
"We are all students of the Imperial University. What if your behavior of attracting attention is known to the teachers and the principal?"
Zhou Yue frowned and continued, "I was wondering why you wanted to save an old man who fainted on the road. It turns out you did it for the false reputation. How hypocritical! If you are blamed for this, the school will have to clean up your mess!"
Ye Shuran nodded: "Yes, sister, we are just here for research and study, we can't cause trouble for the school. You have just entered college, and you will have a good reputation in the future, so there is no need to rush."
As the two instigated the crowd, the accusations from the surrounding crowd grew louder and louder.
What's worse, some people even said that she wanted to use this opportunity to become famous, and then become an internet celebrity and sell goods through live streaming to make some dirty money.
Ye Jinmo's eyebrows turned cold.
The more you talk, the more outrageous it gets.
"Just calling 120 is just a way to gain fame?"
