Chapter 026 Jinjiang First Release

"Hahaha, you've gotten into trouble, haven't you?" The lame brother patted the little boy's shoulder. "Don't worry, we will definitely protect your butt! Tell me, what happened?"

The little boy glanced at the phone that was live-streaming next to him and said, "I don't want to be recognized by my classmates, so I won't tell you my name. I'm in the fifth grade of elementary school now. I have an older brother who is a junior in college."

"The thing is, my brother has a female classmate he has liked for more than ten years. This female classmate is very outstanding. My brother feels that he is not worthy of her, so he has never dared to express his feelings to her. He has been secretly in love with her."

"At the beginning of this year, this female classmate took the initiative to add my brother's contact information, and the two resumed contact. After chatting for a while, my brother mustered up the courage to confess to her. The female classmate accepted my brother's confession, and the two officially started dating."

"In the past six months, my brother has been very happy, immersed in the joy of love. My parents give him 3,000 yuan a month for living expenses. Apart from the basic living expenses, he transfers all the rest to his girlfriend."

"But because they were both studying in other cities, they never met in person. It was always an online romance. My brother was waiting to meet his girlfriend after returning from summer vacation this year."

"My brother came home for summer vacation yesterday. He told my parents about his love affair. My mother was very happy and insisted that my brother invite his girlfriend to have dinner at home. So my brother told his girlfriend and invited her to have lunch at home today."

"For this lunch, my family has been busy all day and all night, preparing a table full of dishes. Now it's almost noon, and our whole family is waiting for my brother's girlfriend to come over."

The lame brother asked: "Isn't this a good thing? Why are you so anxious?"

The little boy pinched the corner of his clothes nervously and whispered:

"Because I was the one who had been dating my brother online."

"Pfft——" Lame Brother burst out laughing, "What did you say?"

The little boy hurriedly explained himself: "I'm not a pervert, nor am I deliberately teasing my brother. It's because a new game called "Everyone Sniper" came out at the beginning of this year. It's really fun! There are some really cool skins in it, and I really want to buy them. If I can't buy these skins, I can't even eat!"

"But I'm just a primary school student, and these skins add up to thousands of yuan. My parents can't give me so much money to buy skins, so I thought of my brother. I know he doesn't spend all his living expenses every month and has some left over, so I wanted to use this method to cheat some money from him."

"I know my brother has a crush on a female classmate, so I registered a small account to add him, and then pretended to be a girl and made love with him. During this time, I bought the skin I liked and upgraded several levels in the game. But now the truth is about to be revealed. If my brother knew that I had been deceiving him all along, he would definitely beat me up. And if my parents knew that they had worked in vain, they would probably join the battle. Then it would become a three-way fight. What should I do! Master, help me!"

Everyone in the store burst into laughter, and Bai Mian also laughed. She gently took the little boy's pulse and came up with an idea.

"Go home now and confess everything to your brother and tell him the truth." Bai Mian said.

"Huh?" The little boy was slightly stunned. "If I take the initiative to confess, wouldn't that mean I'm asking for a fight?"

"I haven't finished yet," Bai Mian continued, "Then you stood on your brother's desk, took down the football ornament at the highest point, threw it to the ground and broke it."

Lame Brother burst into laughter: "How shameful! Are you trying to make him die faster?"

The little boy was completely dumbfounded: "Master, I am a primary school student, not a fool."

"Don't be impatient, just listen to me," Bai Mian whispered a few words in the little boy's ear, "After it breaks, you can..."

When the little boy heard these words, hope immediately lit up in his eyes. After thanking Bai Mian, he quickly jumped off the chair and ran home.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Lame Brother complained unhappily, "What can't I listen to? Am I an outsider?"

Bai Mian smiled mysteriously: "Why are you in such a hurry? You will know it in a while."

The little boy took only a few minutes to tell the divination. After the boy left, a pregnant woman sat down at the table in a hurry.

"Finally it's my turn, Master. My dog ​​is lost. Please help me find it!"

The store fell silent. No one made any more jokes. Everyone just listened to the woman talking.

"My name is Mo Yutong. I am now four months pregnant. The dog I raise is an ordinary pastoral dog named Dahei. Although it looks ordinary, it is very important to me. Dahei has been with me since I was in school. It has been with me for more than ten years. To me, Dahei is like a family member."

"Dahei is very active and likes sports. I used to take him out for a walk every morning and evening. But since I became pregnant, I have been very weak and had severe morning sickness. I could only stay in bed and rest every day. I didn't have the energy to take him out for a walk. Then my mother-in-law suggested that I take the dog to her place to raise it. She is retired and has plenty of time to walk the dog. My mother-in-law has always been very good to Dahei, so I agreed."

"I originally wanted to take Dahei home after I gave birth, but my mother-in-law actually lost Dahei while walking the dog. But to be honest, it's not her fault. She said that she put the dog on a leash when she went out for a walk today. When she walked to the Flower Sea Park, Dahei smelled something and suddenly became irritable. He broke free from the leash and ran forward at a high speed. My mother-in-law is an old lady, so of course she couldn't catch up with him, so Dahei was lost."

At this point, Mo Yutong stretched out his hand eagerly: "Master, please check my pulse and tell me where Dahei has gone to now?"

Bai Mian took Mo Yutong's pulse and said, "It's in Lao Li's restaurant now, but it didn't go there on its own. Someone sold it there."

Mo Yutong's heart suddenly lifted up: "Could it be that Dahei was caught by a bad guy after he ran away, and then sold to a restaurant? How abominable! Master, can you figure out who this bad guy is? I want to settle the score with him!"

Bai Mian shook his head: "There is no bad guy at all, and Dahei didn't run away. Your mother-in-law made up all this. After she left the house this morning, she sold your dog to the restaurant owner."

Mo Yutong hesitated for a moment, then immediately denied it: "Impossible, my mother-in-law wouldn't do that. She's a very good person, she--"

"Don't explain," Bai Mian interrupted Mo Yutong, "It's too late to explain anymore. If we don't save Dahei, he will die."

When Mo Yutong heard this, he immediately stood up and rushed to the Lao Li Restaurant that Bai Mian mentioned. Lao Li Restaurant was on a busy food street, and the owner himself was sharpening a knife at the door of the store.

When Mo Yutong arrived, he saw a large cage at the door of the store. His own dog Dahei was trapped in the cage pitifully, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Next to the cage was a large pot of boiling water. It looked like the boss was going to put the dog in the pot soon. Just as Bai Mian said, if she had been a little later, Dahei would have been in danger of his life.

The restaurant owner sharpened the knife and walked towards the cage with it. Dahei shrank into the corner of the cage in fear, making pitiful howling sounds. Mo Yutong immediately stood in front of Dahei:

"stop!"

"What are you doing?" The boss looked at the woman who suddenly appeared.

"This is my dog, where did you get it? You black-hearted dog dealer!" Mo Yutong shouted at the boss.

The boss wanted to scold her, but because she was a pregnant woman, he had to suppress his temper and explain: "Who are you scolding? I didn't steal it. The owner sold the dog to me voluntarily. I paid for it, okay?"

Mo Yutong asked: "What does the person who sold the dog to you look like?"

The boss thought for a moment and said, "It was an old lady wearing a sun hat and a big mask. I didn't pay attention to her appearance."

"Let me see your payment record." Mo Yutong suddenly thought of this idea.

The boss took his phone and searched for a while, then found the payment record: "Here, look, I bought this for fifty dollars. I don't know what's wrong with you, selling the dog to me and then regretting it!"

Looking at the profile picture of the payee, Mo Yutong recognized that it was her mother-in-law's account. She clenched her fists and her joints crackled.

"Can you please stop blocking my business? The customers inside are waiting for me to serve them food!" Seeing that Mo Yutong was determined not to give way, the boss had to take a step back. "Alright, alright, I'm really scared of you. How about this, you give me money and I'll sell you the dog!"

Mo Yutong finally agreed. She transferred a hundred yuan to the boss, and the boss let Dahei out of the iron cage. Dahei ran towards his owner with eager eyes. Mo Yutong hugged Dahei and burst into tears.

After crying, Mo Yutong brought Dahei to Cixintang again. She did not go home. That home was now extremely terrifying in her eyes.

Mo Yutong sat back on the chair in front of Bai Mian and said in a daze, "Master, you are really spiritual. I believe it now. It was my mother-in-law who did it. She sold Dahei to the hotel without telling me. But why did she do that? Before I got pregnant, she always liked Dahei. Before we got married, I had already agreed with them that I would live with Dahei, and she agreed. How could it become like this now?"

白眠：“她從未變過，她一直都很讨厭動物，之前的那些好都是裝出來的，在你們戀愛的時候，她就已經計劃好了，婚後先讓你養一段時間狗，等你一懷孕，沒有精力照顧大黑了，她就以幫你的名義把狗接走，然後除掉這只狗。”

“可是，”莫雨童反駁道，“婚前誰也不知道我會懷孕啊！結婚的時候我和丈夫都說好了的，我們是丁克族，堅決不要孩子，我們兩個在同一個外企工作，平時工作很忙，誰也沒時間照顧孩子，這一點我婆婆也知道，她怎麽可能提前估計到我會懷孕呢？”

瘸哥實在忍不住插嘴：“你說你是丁克，但你現在這不還是懷孕了嗎？”

“這——”莫雨童一時語塞，“這是個意外！我丈夫同房的時候一直有帶安全用具，我也在吃長期避孕藥，我們什麽措施都做好了，可我還是懷孕了，檢查出懷孕之後，我不忍心打掉這個孩子，所以我們才決定留下他的。”

瘸哥皺起鼻子：“你們都做得這麽全面了，還能懷上孩子，這孩子是葫蘆娃嗎？水火不入的。”

莫雨童摸了摸自己的肚子：“也許是命運的安排吧，我丈夫說，這孩子是上天送給我們的，不如我們就把他生下來。”

白眠連連搖頭：“上天可沒有送個孩子給你，你也沒有懷上葫蘆娃，你的‘意外懷孕’本來就是被設計好的，你丈夫提前在安全用具上紮了洞，并且把你吃的避孕藥都換成了普通的維生素，他也根本不是什麽丁克族，只不過是因為你堅持不要孩子，他才假裝與你一心，為的就是等到婚後引你入局。”

莫雨童難以理解：“我不明白，我在談戀愛之前就已經和他說過了，我是不生孩子的，為什麽他要費盡力氣改變我呢？如果他想要孩子，直接找願意生孩子的女性結婚不行嗎？”

白眠沒有直接回答這個問題，而是從側面提醒：“如果你沒有懷孕，按照你原定的命數，你此刻已經進入了公司的管理層。”

“我知道，太可惜了！”莫雨童遺憾地說，“結婚之前，我領導是和我說過，公司的管理層空缺出一個位置，公司看我資質不錯，有意栽培我，但是條件是必須去國外鍛煉一年，我當時本來想同意的，但是很快我就結婚了，婚後不久又懷孕了，只好拒絕掉公司給的這個機會。”

“而且因為孕期虛弱，我提前休了産假，現在我在公司的地位也大不如前，真是可惜，失去了這麽好的一個機會，是懷孕改變了我的人生……”

“那你失去的那個機會，現在落在了誰手裏？”白眠問。

“啊！”莫雨童驚叫一聲，“是我丈夫，公司現在打算栽培我丈夫！他說在我拒絕之後，公司領導把出國鍛煉的機會給了他，難道——他做的一切都是為了升職？”

白眠：“他騙了你，不是在你拒絕之後，公司領導才把這個機會給了他，而是領導同時找到了你們兩個，你們是同齡人當中的佼佼者，管理層決定選擇從你們當中二選一，你們誰能夠去國外鍛煉一年，誰就可以獲得管理層的位置。”

“原來領導同時還找了他，我怎麽一點都不知道？”莫雨童瞪大了眼睛。

白眠十指交叉：“領導當然不會讓你們知道，但是你丈夫留了個心眼，他趁在衛生間上廁所的時候，偷聽了領導們聊天，所以掌握了更多的信息，他知道你就是他唯一的競争對手，只要讓你無法出國，管理層的位置就是屬于他的。”

莫雨童一拍桌子：“難怪他會那麽急着向我求婚！我剛被領導談完話，當天晚上他就向我求婚了，我們當時正在熱戀中，我想着結婚了也不影響我出國鍛煉，就答應了他的求婚，誰知道後來……”

莫雨童悔恨地咬着嘴唇，說不下去了。

“懷孕，一直以來都是把女人踢出職場的利器，”白眠一針見血地說，“果然如他所猜測的一般，因為激素的原因，你懷孕之後對肚子裏孩子心軟了，決定留下這個孩子，你請了長假，完全放下了手頭的工作。”

“而他則接下了出國鍛煉的機會，等他結束了一年的國外鍛煉之後，國內等待他的是升職加薪的機會和一個已經出世的孩子，他家庭事業雙豐收，幾乎沒有任何損失。”

“可是我不僅要承受生育損傷，還會成為職場上的邊緣人，”莫雨童徹底想明白了，“這不是什麽家長裏短的事，他讓我懷孕，是一種職場鬥争！”

她把大黑抱在懷裏：“幸好大黑的丢失讓我發現了這一切，否則我還被蒙在鼓裏呢，一旦這個孩子出生，他的小算盤就得逞了，不，我不能讓他得逞，大師，我不要這個孩子了，我要打胎。”

瘸哥一臉嚴肅：“妹子，你真的想好了嗎？這可是一個生命啊！”

莫雨童搖搖頭：“不，他現在只是一個胚胎，我才是一個生命，和胚胎相比，我的前途和命運更為重要！”

“而且，我是被算計才懷上這個孩子的，現在那個男人讓我惡心，我更不可能生下他的孩子了，如果真的生下這個孩子，我和他們一家人只會糾纏得更深，只有打掉這個孩子，我才能痛痛快快地離婚，與他們一刀兩斷！”

見莫雨童這麽堅決，瘸哥也不好再勸，莫雨童擡眼，鄭重地問白眠：“大師，你剛才說的這一切，有什麽證據嗎？就算你是算命大師，我也不能只聽了你幾句話就相信你說的一切，我想看看證據。”

白眠看了一眼時間：“正好，既然想要證據，不如讓他們親口說給你聽吧。”

“什麽？”莫雨童問。

白眠：“你家不是安着寵物攝像頭嗎？打開看看。”

莫雨童拿起手機，從監控APP上看到了家裏的實時畫面，她的公公和婆婆正坐在客廳的沙發上聊天。

“咦？”莫雨童眉頭一皺，“他們怎麽會在家？”

莫雨童記得出門之前，她明明囑咐過公公婆婆幫着一起找狗，公公婆婆也都答應了，沒想到他們現在卻都坐在沙發上喝茶。

莫雨童調大音量，聽清了公公婆婆的對話內容。

公公：“兒媳婦找狗找到現在都沒回來，她該不會是發現了吧？”

婆婆：“害，怎麽可能，現在那條狗應該都已經被人端上桌了，她上哪發現去？”

公公：“她找不到狗，一會回來的時候肯定要大哭大鬧了。”

婆婆：“讓她鬧去呗，一條狗而已，真是的，至于嘛，我早就看那破狗不順眼了，終于把它弄走了！”

公公：“雖然你是這麽想，但是一會當着兒媳婦的面，你可不能這麽說啊！”

婆婆：“知道了，我又不傻，我一定會好聲好氣地給她道歉，我一個老太婆，都這麽卑微了，她也不好意思再責怪我吧？”

公公：“那倒是，要說你對兒媳婦的态度是真夠好的，我跟你過了半輩子，也沒見過你的好臉色。”

婆婆：“去你的，那還不是因為兒媳婦懷孕了嗎？你有本事也懷一個！成天在她面前表演，演得我累死了，我這還不是為了咱兒子嘛，只有穩住她，兒子在外面才能安安生生工作，等到撐過這一年，咱們家的好日子就要來喽！”

公公：“嘿嘿，咱兒子真有出息，能想出這麽聰明的法子，拿下這個升職的機會。”

婆婆：“那是，也不看是誰生的，現在咱們兩個都老了，以後全指望兒子生活，等兒媳婦生下孩子，她再帶兩年孩子，工作估計也要丢了，到時候兒子就是咱們家的頂梁柱，等到那時候，我哪還用這麽哄着她呀！”

莫雨童退出了監控APP，她不再需要什麽證據，真相比白眠說得更殘忍。

店裏一屋子人都被這一家子的惡毒給震驚到了，一時之間無人說話，白眠開口：

“你看到了，他們想讓你失去的，何止是一條狗呢？”

莫雨童眼裏再也沒有一絲猶豫，她幹脆利落地說：“我要打掉這個孩子，和他離婚，重新回到職場，拿回我原本的命數”

“另外，其實我一直都知道他倒賣公司機密資料的事，但是我沒忍心揭發他，今天回去之後，我會寫一封郵件把這件事報告給公司，我看，他的國外之行得提前結束了。”

白眠沒有勸她，只是淡淡道：“祝你好運。”

莫雨童感激地看了白眠一眼，在交過錢後離開了店裏。

她走後店裏的氣氛格外沉重，白眠本以為師父會譴責自己，畢竟師父他們這些老一輩都喜愛孩子，沒想到翁旭華卻說：

“你救了她。”

“哦？”白眠頗為意外。

翁旭華笑道：“她沒能成為一個媽媽，可是她成為了真正的自己呀！”

白眠如釋重負，店裏沉重的氣氛終于變得輕松起來。

Lame Brother looked at the time. It was not yet noon. He said:

"You were really quick today. You finished calculating all three hexagrams in just one morning. Looks like you can slack off in the afternoon!"

Gao Jin snorted twice: "Go away, do you think everyone is like you? Our little apprentice is very studious. Whenever she has free time, she reads medical books by herself."

Lame Brother bowed and said, "Of course, I am just a salted fish, how can I compare with the Little God of Wealth? By the way, Little God of Wealth, can you tell me what you said to that little boy?"

Bai Mian looked at the live broadcast screen: "It should be here soon."

"What's coming?" asked the lame brother in confusion.

As soon as Lame Brother finished speaking, Bai Mian's live broadcast room received a live connection request. The other party's avatar was exactly the little boy who came to ask for help this morning.

Bai Mian answered the call, and the little boy came up and shouted at Bai Mian: "Master, my butt is saved, thank you so much!"

"What's going on?" Lame Brother asked frantically.

The little boy on the other side of the screen recounted what happened. After he returned home, he first listened to Bai Mian and honestly confessed everything to his brother. His brother was furious and wanted to hit him with his hand. He dodged flexibly, then climbed onto his brother's desk and knocked down the football ornament that was high on the desk.

The football figurine was smashed to pieces, and a bunch of small things fell out with a clang. It turned out that the football figurine was actually a storage box, which contained things related to the female classmate, a pen she lent to her brother, a hairband she used, and a simple sketch she drew...

The elder brother looked at the things on the ground and became even more furious. He grabbed the little boy by the back of the collar and pulled him down, ready to teach him a lesson. The little boy jumped to the ground, quickly picked up a piece of paper from the ground and held it in front of his brother.

"What is this?" The elder brother was stunned for a moment, not knowing what his younger brother was going to do.

The little boy unfolded the paper. It was a class record. At graduation, his brother asked all the classmates to write a class record. But in the end, he only kept the female classmate's. In the place of the graduation message, the female classmate wrote four big words: "Study hard".

"What's the use of this..." said my brother with his head down. There is probably no more official message in the world than this.

The words "Study hard" were written on a thick layer of correction tape. It was obvious that the female classmate had modified the message she left. The little boy used his fingernails to scrape off the thick layer of correction tape, and a line of old words appeared under the correction tape -

I like you.

The elder brother's pupils trembled when he saw these four words. He snatched the class record from his younger brother's hand and read it again and again. Then he let out a strange cry and jumped up like a monkey:

"Ah! Ah! It turns out that she liked me back then too! But she was such a good student, it was impossible for her to fall in love too early, so she hid her feelings, and we missed each other like this. Really, why did I realize it only now, am I stupid? I, I, I..."

The elder brother squatted on the ground, holding his head and babbling nonsense. He was as excited and nervous as if he had found out that he had won an expired lottery ticket, and he completely forgot about being angry with his younger brother.

"Brother, how about you try to contact them again?" the little boy suggested.

My brother rubbed his hair shyly: "I don't have her contact information at all. Besides, so many years have passed. What if she has a boyfriend?"

"Isn't it here?" The little boy pointed to the phone number on the class record. "Give it a try. Even if you fail, it's not shameful."

Encouraged by the little boy, the brother nervously took a few deep breaths and then tried to dial the number on the class directory. Ten years later, the number still worked.

As soon as the call was connected, my brother said nervously:

"Hello, is this Jiang Rui? I'm Geng Minghao, I don't know if you still remember me, I just found out the words below the class record, I'm so stupid, I'm a fool... I just found out your feelings now, is it too late? Sorry, my mind is a mess, I don't even know what I'm saying... I mean, I know this is very presumptuous, but I want to ask you, are you single now? Can we meet?"

The female voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then said:

"I'm not single, I'm Xiaorui's mother. Wait a minute, I'll ask her to answer the phone."
