Xia Youyou stopped when she didn't expect Zhang Yun to recognize her.
Zhang Yun had only just glanced at the child in pink and wondered who was so wealthy to dress their child in that color. Unexpectedly, he saw the face, and a familiar feeling lingered. Then he noticed the red mole on the forehead. Suddenly, he remembered: it was that demon Liu Daya!
She stopped fighting for candy and squeezed through the crowd to catch Liu Daya.
"Mom, don't make any noise over there." Xia Youyou pushed Liu Hui out of her way and turned to face Zhang Yun. She looked at her coldly as she approached her. Was she no longer afraid of him?
Zhang Yun's eyes were full of the clothes on her body, and he didn't even remember if she was a monster. Damn girl, she must have done well in the city, wearing such nice clothes, her pillars didn't even have new clothes. Regardless of anything, he reached out to rip off her clothes. "Where did you get these clothes? Take them off! Do you think you deserve to wear new clothes!"
Xia Youyou waited for her to come closer, pinched her wrist with her small hand, and with her other hand, she took out a needle from the space where she couldn't be seen through the crowded crowd and was about to inject her with it.
Unexpectedly, his hand was held by Liu Hui who was standing next to him.
"Don't be impulsive!"
Seeing everyone around him looking over, Zhang Yun began to curse non-stop. Xia Youyou was held by Liu Hui's hand and had to put the needle into the space under her concealment. She looked at Zhang Yun who was spitting with frustration.
"Who are you? I don't even know you!"
Zhang Yun didn't expect that she would pretend not to know him, "Who am I? What a joke! I am your mother, and you ran away without saying a word. Now that you have a good life, you don't recognize your biological mother? You bastard, how can you be so heartless? I raised you for more than ten years, and you just leave like that? Your father is still sick in bed, and you don't even go back to see him. You even have money to buy new clothes, take them off quickly!" After saying that, he started to strip her.
Xia Youyou couldn't stand it any longer and didn't want to listen to her nagging anymore. She suddenly shook her hand off and pushed her to the ground. She looked around and saw more and more people gathered around and started pointing fingers at her.
"I'm not your biological child, so stop pretending in front of me. Have you forgotten how you kicked me out?" He was so angry that his heart began to ache. He grabbed the needle and pricked his chest. "You didn't treat my illness and threw me to the dilapidated temple to fend for myself. Where were you when I was half-dead and begging for food? Now that I look good, you say you raised me? I was picking grass for pigs at the age of three and cooking at the age of five. Is this how you raised me? You might as well strangle me to death! I promise to thank you a thousand times!"
Zhang Yun watched as people around him started pointing and talking, and he stood up anxiously. "You silly girl, why didn't I raise you? You complain when I asked you to do something. Who hasn't lived like this these days? What's wrong with collecting grass for pigs? What's wrong with cooking? What girl doesn't want to work?" He pulled the hand of the aunt who was watching the fun, "Do you think your girl should work? You can't deny your parents just because I asked you to work, right?"
Xia Youyou was so angry that her liver hurt. More and more people gathered around her, pointing fingers at her and whispering to her.
"Okay, so what do you want now?"
Seeing her compromise, Zhang Yun looked at her proudly, sizing her up and down. "Your clothes must have cost at least a few dozen yuan, right? You're doing well if you can afford clothes worth a few dozen yuan. So, just give me 200 yuan and we'll call it a day. I won't argue with you."
There was an uproar around them. A hundred yuan at home was a lot of money these days. But this guy asked for two hundred yuan!
Xia Youyou squeezed out two tears, "Which uncle or aunt can buy me? I will repay my adoptive mother's kindness and work like a slave for you. Anyway, I am destined to be a slave no matter where I am. Please have pity on me and let me escape from this sea of suffering."
"Why don't you just rob a bank and ask for two hundred? Who has that much money?"
"Exactly! How shameless! He's still asking for two hundred. It's hard for me to even come up with twenty!"
Zhang Yun waved her hand fiercely, shooing away those who were accusing her. "What do you know? Look at the clothes she's wearing. Someone must be supporting her, otherwise where would she get the money? What are you doing here? Go away, get out of here!"
The commotion here attracted the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative, who rushed over with a group of thugs.
"Who dares to cause trouble in the supply and marketing cooperative? Arrest them all and send them to the police station!"
Zhang Yun quickly fell silent, hiding behind the crowd like a quail. Someone pushed her from behind, and she stumbled and fell in front of the manager.
"She's the one who started the trouble! Take her to the police station! She's trying to kidnap people." Liu Hui suddenly spoke up in the chaotic crowd, and those around her echoed her. They were all afraid of being taken to the police station, so since they had already pointed someone out, they should arrest her.
"That's her. She wants to sell this little girl. Two hundred dollars!"
Without a word, the manager waved his hand and had the men behind him tie up Zhang Yun. "Send him to the police station and claim he's a human trafficker!"
Seeing himself being caught, Zhang Yun started throwing a tantrum on the ground, "I didn't do it! You're wrongly accusing me. That's my daughter. I didn't sell her!"
Unfortunately, no matter how much she screamed, it was useless. She was carried out of the supply and marketing cooperative by four people. After the crowd dispersed, Xia Youyou took Liu Hui's hand and looked at the girl who had pushed Zhang Yun out.
"He Mei!"
The round-faced girl blushed a little, her face still showing the excitement of having done something bad just now, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Xia Youyou, who had become fair and tender.
"Xia Youyou."
Xia Youyou held her hand and said, "Let's go out and talk. It's too noisy here because there are too many people."
She pulled them out of the supply and marketing cooperative, one on each hand, and stopped in a sheltered area. "Thank you for what you did."
He Meiyuan's face flushed red as she shook her head repeatedly, "It's okay, I just can't stand it. You look really good now, not as skinny as when I first saw you."
Xia Youyou pulled Liu Hui out and said, "I had just arrived in Bao City and had no place to stay. Later, I met a public security officer, and her family took me in. Now I am her daughter."
Liu Hui clapped her hands in amusement. "Your name is He Mei? Come to my house for dinner today and hang out with You You. We're right in front of us at No. 28 Fengshu Lane."
"No, no, I've finished shopping and am about to go home. My mom is still waiting for me at home."
"Then come and play with me some other day. I was thinking of visiting you at your factory, but I was afraid of interrupting your work." Xia Youyou pulled her along and took out two goose eggs from her bag. "Take these home and eat them."
He Mei refused repeatedly, "I can't take it. I already took one from you last time."
Xia Youyou insisted on putting the egg into her shoulder bag and said, "We will be friends from now on, remember to come and play with me!" After that, she took Liu Hui and went back to the supply and marketing cooperative.
He Mei looked at the two huge eggs in the bag, and felt a warm feeling in her heart. Then she looked at Xia Youyou's petite back and smiled shyly. She was so cute!
