Mo Yan watched the little girl slowly speak. It wasn't that the little girl was bad, but she subconsciously wanted to be helped by others without thinking about what she could do herself.
Is she pitiful? Of course she is.
But is she pathetic? Yes, she is.
She placed her hopes for the future on others, never thinking that she could do anything herself. Don't underestimate her; Xiaoyu was already able to find a way to survive back then.
"But I'm afraid if I do that, they won't recognize me anymore. Auntie, please give me a job. I can help out here. Can I work here?" The little girl shook her head; she was too scared.
“I don’t need anyone here, and your parents will find you soon anyway, and they can take you away. You can rest here and think about what you’re going to do.”
No one can help you for a lifetime; you can only rely on yourself.
And she's just a little girl, working here? That's really not acceptable; we can't have child laborers. It's not that she wouldn't help; she's already told her how.
Xiaoyu remained silent and obediently helped tidy up, even though she had been a little angry earlier.
She didn't know that Xiaohua would say something like that, asking her mother for help. Her mother had already said that they could find a policeman.
Moreover, Xiaohua's mother is very fierce. What if she hurts her mother?
So Xiaoyu was a little angry, and she regretted bringing Xiaohua along. She had only asked her to come because she thought Xiaohua seemed very sad, but how could she make things difficult for her mother?
Someone spoke up for Xiaohua before, and her mother immediately led a group of people to smash that person's house.
"Auntie, you could have helped me. You could have just given me a place to stay and let me work here. When my parents come over, you could have just told them I could earn money here, or you could have just scared them away."
The little girl looked at Mo Yan with tears in her eyes and said these words.
Mo Yan: "??????"
"Why should I? Little sister, those are your parents, they are your guardians. How could I leave you here to argue with them? What are you thinking?"
I told you, if you think they want to sell you, you can call the police or find the police. What can I do if you don't go yourself?
What if you were here, and your parents accused me of kidnapping you?
When Mo Yan said this, she saw a hint of guilt flash in the girl's eyes.
"Is that really what you're thinking? Are you planning to stay at my house for a couple of days, then have your parents come looking for trouble, accusing me of using child labor and demanding money from me?"
The little girl felt even more guilty, and her whole body was trembling.
Seeing this, Mo Yan had no doubts and immediately told Xiao Yu to call the police.
After hearing this, Xiaoyu quickly went outside and ran to call the police.
"Auntie, please don't call the police. I'm telling the truth."
"Whether it's true or not, you can tell the police later." Mo Yan said coldly. She thought this girl was pitiful, but she didn't expect her to be so cunning.
The little girl was even more frightened, and her body was trembling with fear.
When the police arrived, she immediately told the truth.
“My parents really want to use me to get a dowry, but I don’t want to. They said… well… my parents said that as long as I work for you, they’ll come over in a couple of days… to sue you for using child labor, and then you’ll have to pay compensation, and I won’t have to…”
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately slapped him.
With a loud slap, Xiaoyu was startled. She had never hit anyone before, but today she had.
"Xiaohua, you've gone too far! I only helped you because I considered you a good friend, but you lied to me from the very beginning. How could you do this to me?"
Xiaoyu's tears kept falling. She was so regretful, so very regretful. How could Xiaohua have done this?
"What can I do? You have a mother who loves you, while I can only find a way on my own. It's just a matter of asking for some money, since your mother has money anyway."
In Xiaohua's mind, since their family is rich, why can't they give her that money?
Letting her not have to get married, letting her have a future—that's what good friends are for, isn't it?
"What does my mother's wealth have to do with you? You're really strange. So, you think my treating you as a friend is your excuse for scheming against me?"
Mo Yan watched Xiao Yu perform without saying a word. She would eventually grow up, and it was better to let her grow up on her own than to keep protecting her.
