Chapter 618: Getting Away with It
When patrol captain Sun saw the pale and skinny girl wake up, he tried his best to put on a kind face and asked:
"Are you Xiaoyu?"
Yun Siyu nodded in confusion but said nothing.
She was not stupid. She just heard the other party say that the old woman was dead, and she felt happy.
Because Xiaoyu's nominal mother-in-law was an old haggard woman. Xiaoyu did all the dirty and tiring work at home, and all the money was earned by Xiaoyu from washing clothes. However, she could not eat enough or wear warm clothes, and just lived on the edge of starvation.
Today, Xiaoyu spent the whole morning washing clothes and was so hungry that she fainted from hunger while sitting by the stove. That’s why Yun Siyu came.
After she replaced Xiaoyu, she fell down because she got up too quickly and had hypoglycemia. However, when she fell, she grabbed the old hag as a scapegoat, so she was fine. But the other woman died from the fall, which was what she deserved.
Yun Siyu didn't feel guilty at all. Facing the man's question, she had already prepared her words. In addition, her skinny appearance would definitely win sympathy, so the first thing she said was:
“I’m hungry!”
Then they huddled together, staring blankly at Captain Sun in front of them.
Only after seeing the blond and blue-eyed Dr. Rosen did she know for sure who had made the strange accent she had heard before.
As a little girl who had never seen the world, she immediately covered her head with the blanket in fear, and then said in horror:
"Monster! Don't eat me! I don't have any meat."
Rosen shook his head helplessly.
"Doctor Rosen, this little girl never goes out. She just works at home. She has never seen foreigners. Don't be angry."
Captain Sun said with a smile.
"Never mind! God have mercy on the poor fellow."
At this time, a nurse came in with a plate with a few slices of black bread.
Rosen asked the nurse to give it directly to Captain Sun.
"She should trust you. Give her something to eat and then ask her questions. She should tell you."
After saying that, Rosen shook his head and walked away.
"Thank you, Dr. Rosen."
Captain Sun also knew that Rosen was here, and the little girl must have been scared and dared not show her head. He couldn't ask anything, so Rosen closed the door of the ward considerately. Captain Sun then said:
"Xiaoyu, don't be afraid! That's not a monster, it's the doctor who saved you. He's gone. Aren't you hungry? Eat something."
Yun Siyu felt that her acting skills were okay, at least she hadn't revealed any flaws at the moment. She slowly pulled down the quilt, looked around secretly, and found that the foreign doctor had really left. She immediately glued her eyes to the black bread on the plate and subconsciously licked her lips. She was really hungry.
Then the next second, her stomach started growling. Everyone knew she was hungry without Yun Siyu saying anything.
"It's okay. Eat first. When you're full, I'll ask you a few questions. You have to answer me truthfully."
Yun Siyu just stared at the food, nodded her head unconsciously, and slowly sat up. When Captain Sun handed her the plate, she immediately grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth. The burning sensation in her stomach was too uncomfortable.
Yun Siyu wolfed down the bread on the plate and even licked the plate clean. Her body was seriously lacking in nutrition and these pieces of bread could only barely relieve her hunger.
After Yun Siyu finished eating, she looked at Captain Sun eagerly, and it was obvious that she wanted to eat more.
"After you answer my questions, I'll give you food."
Captain Sun tempted.
Yun Siyu nodded, holding the plate with her withered hands, looking at the other party, waiting for questions.
"Did you push your mother-in-law over?"
After hearing this, Yun Siyu immediately waved her hands in panic, still holding the plate in her hand, and said in a hoarse voice:
"My mother-in-law felt dizzy and fell down! I went to help her because she was hungry and had no strength. She didn't know what was happening until her eyes went black!"
Yun Siyu gestured and spoke, three words at a time, but Captain Sun still understood. He had also been to the scene, so he organized his words and said:
"You mean your mother-in-law, Mrs. Feng, felt dizzy and was about to fall, so you wanted to help her up, but you were too hungry and had no strength, so you didn't hold her back, and you also blacked out and fell down, and you didn't know anything in the end?"
Yun Siyu nodded, and then continued:
"I'll get beaten if I don't hold on!"
As she said this, her face looked visibly ugly. After all, she probably didn't know that the old hag was dead.
"Does your mother-in-law often beat you?"
"Well! There is no work to do. I am hungry."
Yun Siyu said immediately.
"Where did she hit you?"
After hearing the whole question, Yun Siyu tilted her head with a confused expression, as if she didn't understand what the other party meant.
Captain Sun also noticed that Yun Siyu seemed to have some problems with her brain, so he made a gesture of hitting someone, pointing at his head and body, indicating the location.
Yun Siyu understood this time. She straightened up and took off her rag-like coat, revealing a body covered in bruises and old and new wounds, looking horrible.
Of course, Yun Siyu was not really stupid, because there was no one else in the ward, and she could feel that Xiaoyu was wearing a bellyband, so she dared to take off her clothes boldly to gain sympathy. Besides, in her current skinny state, it was estimated that no one would even look at her twice.
Sure enough, when Captain Sun saw the injuries on Xiaoyu's body and that Xiaoyu was about to take off his pants, he immediately stopped him.
"I know, put your clothes back on, it's cold!"
Yun Siyu nodded obediently, then put her torn clothes back on and licked her lips. The meaning was very clear. She answered the question obediently. Where is the food?
"Just lie here and wait for me. I'll get you some food. Don't run around, or I won't be able to find you when I get back, and the food will be gone."
Captain Sun emphasized.
Yun Siyu lay down obediently, covered herself with the quilt, and acted as if she would wait here obediently.
Captain Sun went out for a while and came back to give Yun Siyu two steaming buns.
After Yun Siyu took it, she ate another steamed bun and felt a little better. Then she fell asleep hugging the other steamed bun. Anyone who saw it would understand that the little girl was afraid that she would have nothing to eat tomorrow, so she left one steamed bun.
Mrs. Feng's death was finally ruled an accident, and Hu Zi was the only one left in the Feng family's yard.
Yun Siyu stayed in Edward Hospital for three days to make sure that she would not faint as soon as she went out. Then on the third night, she slipped back to the Feng family's residence. She went back this time to get the money.
In Xiaoyu's memory, she once accidentally saw the place where the old woman hid her money. She wanted to get her ID and money before Hu Zi found out, so that she could get rid of that family completely.
When she finds a place to recover her health, she will apply for a job in a hospital run by foreigners. She will never starve to death.
When Yun Siyu climbed over the wall and entered the yard, it was pitch black. It was obvious that Hu Zi had not returned yet. Since Mrs. Feng passed away, he must have become a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
See you tomorrow~Good night~
