Chapter 045 Jinjiang Debut
Cai Youming was shocked again, and finally solved the mystery in his heart: "So that's it, Jiazhen's parents went to work in other places, and she and her grandmother were the only ones left at home. Her grandmother is hard of hearing and is very slow every day. If Jiazhen was really harassed, I'm afraid her grandmother wouldn't be able to notice it, so my mother has to stay here to protect this little girl."
Bai Mian: "That's right. After all the residents of Gucheng Street moved away, Old Man Luo set his sights on Jiazhen. Firstly, he was too old and weak to deal with adults, so he could only target children. Secondly, Jiazhen was a left-behind child, so it was easy for him to target her. If your mother hadn't still lived here, Jiazhen would have been killed by him a long time ago. It was because of your mother that Old Man Luo never succeeded."
Lame Brother was a little skeptical: "Can a sixty-year-old lady calm down Old Man Luo? After all, she is a woman, and her strength is definitely less than that of a man..."
Cai Youming smiled and said, "You are wrong. My mother is a well-known tigress. When she was young, she was nicknamed 'Sun Erniang'. When Luo Laohan followed me, my mother rushed to his house with a kitchen knife and scared him a lot! My mother is in good health now. Although she is old, she is still as majestic as before. No matter how old she is, Luo Laohan is afraid of my mother!"
Lame brother exclaimed: "What a heroine, she has been living in the old bungalow for a little girl who is not related to her by blood. She really has the spirit of Liangshan! But the family next door to you is really bold. They dared to let the little girl be a left-behind child. There have been so many news reports in recent years. Left-behind children are the easiest targets for bad guys."
Cai Youming said helplessly: "It's all for living. The couple next door are decorators. They went to big cities to do decoration work, earning more money, and it will be convenient for their children to go to school in the future. If the family was not poor, why would they and their grandsons live in Gucheng Street all the time?"
Bai Mian: "Jiazhen won't have to be a left-behind child anymore. Your mother has called to tell Jiazhen's parents about the situation here. The couple will go home after they finish their work. Since Gucheng Street caught fire, they don't dare to let the child continue to live here. When they come back, they will rent a better house and stay with the child instead of going out to work."
Cai Youming: "That's good. At least the child's safety is guaranteed. It turns out that my mother has been living here to do good deeds. Why didn't she tell me? I was left guessing."
Bai Mian: "If she told you the truth, you would definitely not support her."
Cai Youming thought about it and agreed with this point: "I really don't support it. Jiazhen is very pitiful, but after all, she has no relationship with us. Why should my mother care about this? She wants to stop Old Man Luo from harming people, but if something happens to her and she gets injured, won't I have to pay for the medical expenses?"
Bai Mian: "Because when she saw Old Man Luo following Jiazhen, she thought of you in the past. At that time, you were also a little child, hiding from Old Man Luo in fear. This scene aroused her maternal instinct. She is a mother and will not allow any child to be hurt."
Cai Youming spread his hands: "Well, maybe it's because I've never been a mother, so I can't understand it. But now that Old Man Luo is dead and Jiazhen's parents are coming to pick her up, my mother's worries are finally gone. Can she live with me?"
Bai Mian nodded: "Call her now, she will definitely agree to move out with you."
Cai Youming called his mother expectantly and tried to bring up the matter of moving again:
"Mom, I'm worried about you living here alone. My house in Beijing is pretty big. I think..."
Before he could finish, his mother's voice came over the phone that day: "Where have you been? I have packed all my things."
Cai Youming jumped up in surprise: "Mom, what did you say?"
His mother said calmly, "I asked you where you went today. You disappeared early in the morning. I packed my things and was ready to go with you. Isn't today the last day of your annual leave? When are you leaving?"
Cai Youming said happily: "I lined up this morning to calculate... Never mind, the matter has been resolved anyway, as long as you are willing to come with me, Mom, wait, I will go home now!"
After hanging up the phone, Cai Youming's face was filled with smiles. He paid the pulse diagnosis fee and bowed to Bai Mian repeatedly: "Master, thank you so much, what the Internet said is true, you are really as good as a god. I won't say much, I will go back to find my mother first, and bring my mother to visit you when I have the chance in the future!"
Bai Mian smiled and said goodbye to Cai Youming.
After seeing off the second customer of the day, it was time for lunch in the store. Everyone took a comfortable nap and the store did not open until two in the afternoon.
As soon as Que Ge opened the door of the shop, it was surrounded by old men and women waiting to eat melons. Que Ge nicknamed them "Retired Intelligence Bureau". In order to take care of their throats, Weng Xuhua also placed a water dispenser and disposable paper cups at the door to make it convenient for them to pour water.
The third client today was an honest middle-aged man with rough and dark skin, and he looked like a manual laborer. Before Bai Mian called him, he took the initiative to sit down and start talking. His words were mixed with some dialect, but they were generally understandable.
"Master, hello, my name is Fang Xingye. I came here mainly to help my son's fortune. My son is Fang Qiong. He is very outstanding and has been a good student since he was a child. He is the first college student in our village to leave the mountains. Do you know where he was admitted? Let me tell you, Nancheng University! This is a 985 university!"
Everyone around him praised him very respectfully. Hearing everyone's praise, Fang Xingye became even more proud. He raised his head, patted his chest and said, "I have lived an ordinary life, just a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky. But my son has a promising future and was admitted to Nancheng University. It's really a blessing for my ancestors! It's worth it for me to farm the land all my life!"
Bai Mian: "Congratulations, what is the question you want to consult?"
Fang Xingye instantly became sad and said, "Master, tell me, my son is so outstanding and has such a good education, but he just doesn't want to find a job. After graduating from college, he just found a security guard job with a monthly salary of only 3,000 yuan. He doesn't make any progress every day and just eats and waits for death. I really don't understand. With such a high education, he should at least find a decent job. Isn't it a waste to be a security guard?"
"Maybe he just let it go. Being a security guard is so good. He can save 20 years of detours compared to others. I can't wait to envy him!" Lame Brother wanted to tease him, but seeing Fang Xingye's serious face, he quickly changed his words, "Forget it, I take back what I said just now, uncle, relax, maybe he just regards this job as a stepping stone, doing it first while looking for a better job."
Fang Xingye said distressedly: "It would be great if it were so, but he has no ambition at all. He actually said that he plans to be a security guard for the rest of his life and never change jobs again. This really makes me anxious!"
"Have you talked to him? Why does he insist on being a security guard?" asked Lame Brother.
Fang Xingye shook his head: "I asked him, but he didn't want to talk. He said he had nothing to talk to me about and I wouldn't understand him even if he told me. He told me to leave him alone. But I'm his father, how can I leave him alone? If this continues, I suspect that this child has psychological problems, so I came to ask the master, why does he insist on being a security guard?"
Bai Mian placed two fingers on Fang Xingye's wrist, felt his pulse, and said, "My dear, please take a few deep breaths."
Fang Xingye was stunned: "That's not right, I see others don't have this step, in the past you always tell the result directly after taking the pulse."
Bai Mian: "Because what I am about to say may irritate you."
Fang Xingye laughed: "Hey, I've lived half my life, I've seen everything, are you afraid of hitting me? It's okay, just tell me directly!"
Bai Mian paused and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you - your son didn't get into Nancheng University."
Fang Xingye glared and asked, "What university did he go to?"
Bai Mian: "He didn't get into any university. He only graduated from high school."
Fang Xingye was furious: "Impossible, you don't know anything, you don't know my son at all! He studies so well, and he always ranks among the top in the class in every exam, how could he not be admitted to university?!"
Bai Mian: "He got his previous test scores by cheating. He got close to the good students in the class and copied their test papers every time he took a test. But he couldn't cheat in the college entrance examination, so he failed."
Fang Xingye said unconvincedly, "Nonsense! I clearly saw his admission letter. The courier handed it to me personally. On the day I received the admission letter, I killed the pig at home and held a graduation banquet for my son. The whole village came. How could this be fake?"
"Also, two years ago my son invited me to South City and took me around South City University. I even ate at the university cafeteria! How could all this be fake?"
Bai Mian felt a little reluctant, but still said: "The admission letter is fake. Fang Qiong knew that he would not be able to get into the university. In order not to disappoint you, he asked someone to make a fake certificate and sent it to you by express delivery."
"The day he took you to visit South City University was the university's open day. Anyone could enter the campus, so he was able to take you in. This doesn't mean he is a student there."
Fang Xingye became more and more angry: "Don't talk nonsense, little girl. You have to provide evidence when you speak. You said my son lied. Do you have any evidence?"
Bai Mian: "The official website of Nancheng University has the admission list for each year. You can open the list for the year your son enrolled and see if his name is on it."
After hearing this, Fang Xingye nervously took out his mobile phone, went into the official website of Nancheng University, and struggled to find the list of students who attended school that year. Then he opened the list and started looking for the name in it.
Fang Xingye looked through thousands of names one by one, but didn't see his son's name among them. He became panicked and looked again without giving up.
He watched it over and over again for more than ten minutes. Just when everyone was getting bored of waiting, a loud "bang" was heard in the room. Fang Xingye dropped his mobile phone to the ground and the screen was cracked.
"This bastard dared to play tricks on me. When I find him, I will break his legs!"
Fang Xingye roared, turned around and was about to go out to settle the score with his son.
Bai Mian held him back: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. This is just the beginning. Next, please take a few more deep breaths."
