Chapter 270 Bai Yiyi's Past Life
"Comrade, I also saw a woman picking up vegetable leaves every day. Don't they want these leaves? If they don't want them, it's not a big deal for the child to pick them up. It can't be called stealing! Just forget it and let the child go."
"I've seen it too. Every time they pick up a big bag. If you can't pick it up, why didn't you stop that woman? I saw you talking and laughing with her. Could she be your relative?"
The eyes of the masses are sharp, don’t tell me, the truth is out!
The salesperson was anxious.
If this gets to the ears of the leader, I'll be doomed.
"Don't talk nonsense. That person is either a relative of mine or an employee of the factory. His family is not well off. He just picked some vegetable leaves. Vegetable leaves are...unnecessary..."
He couldn't continue talking. If he didn't want it, why was he holding on to Bai Yiyi and not letting her go?
At this time, I still didn't understand that the salesperson was deliberately trying to be nice to me.
"Oh! I see. If it's unwanted, then it doesn't matter who picks it up. Why did you keep nagging a little girl for picking it up? You treat her like a thief and insist on dragging her to the security department. You didn't say anything or ask questions when someone else picked it up."
"Needless to say, this is definitely bullying. Haven't you heard about that little girl's mother? Some people are sincere."
"This is too unfair. I know this little girl, but her mother is actually a good person. I don't know why she was caught red-handed and then sent to the police station, where she was convicted."
"Alright, alright, little girl, hurry up and go home. Your family must be waiting anxiously."
The people around them all started talking and immediately made decisions for the little girl.
Although in this day and age, if someone in the family goes to jail, it's like the sky is falling.
No matter what other people say, they always talk about my family. There will be finger pointing and gossip.
But at least people still have conscience.
Such a young girl didn't really make any mistake, so people will still sympathize with her to some extent.
The little girl was carrying a basket filled with vegetable leaves, not knowing whether she should leave or not.
The salesperson patted his sleeves and said, "Alright, alright, go away, go away, don't come here to pick up vegetable leaves again. Look at what you have caused."
The little girl took the basket and went away.
Because he walked too fast, he almost tripped and fell to the ground. Jiang Xiaoxiao helped him up, picked up the basket from the ground and put it into the child's hand.
"Go slowly, don't rush, go back and take good care of grandma."
How can she help the child?
Bai Yiyi smiled at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Thank you, sister! You are a good person!"
The child's smile is so innocent and pure, but the child's future path is so difficult.
Jiang Xiaoxiao watched her walk away.
Bai Yiyi had told her that she was from northern Beijing, but she didn't know that Bai Yiyi's ancestral home was actually Beihe.
Song Moting pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao and said, "Why are you staring at that child? Do you know that child?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I don't know him. We just met for the first time. The child is very pitiful. He looks only five years old. He was picking up vegetable leaves in front of the vegetable stall and was wrongly accused of stealing."
Song Moting saw the pity in Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"Okay, okay. There are many poor people in this world, and you can't help everyone. Now you should go back and cook. Otherwise, Brother Jin and I will have to go hungry. Help ourselves first and then help others.
If we have the chance to meet this little girl again next time, we will try to help her."
Song Moting couldn't bear to see the light in his wife's eyes go out. If she wanted to help, then let her help. But there would be no chance this time, as the child had already run away without a trace.
You can't just go looking for this child like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded. She also knew that she had hesitated just now.
She didn't even know Bai Yiyi's home address, so going to look for her like this would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But since Bai Yiyi came here to pick up vegetable leaves, she should live nearby.
Jiang Xiaoxiao plans to go take a walk around here after visiting Jia Shu tomorrow. Maybe she can run into this kid.
If she could be sure that this Bai Yiyi was the Bai Yiyi she had met, she would definitely help this child.
Bai Yiyi is the most outstanding among his disciples and is gifted in medicine.
But this child has experienced a lot of hardships since childhood.
When she was young, her mother was thrown into prison and her father left her and her grandparents to go to another place alone. No one knew what happened to her father in the end. Until Bai Yiyi became famous, no one knew whether her father was dead or alive.
Bai Yiyi said that when she was young, she lived with her grandparents and had a relatively happy life, but her grandparents passed away when she was five years old.
Her uncle and aunt were supposed to take care of her, but they ended up meeting human traffickers.
There aren’t many girls this young that can be sold, and no one wants a girl.
The human traffickers kept her in their hands, forced her to go out to beg on the streets every day, and forced her to learn how to use three hands.
Otherwise, you would have no food to eat when you come back and you would be beaten.
Bai Yiyi had been hanging around on the streets for several years. When Jiang Xiaoxiao met her, Bai Yiyi was just a small gangster on the street. The relationship between the two of them as master and apprentice is really amazing.
Bai Yiyi stole Jiang Xiaoxiao's wallet and was caught by Jiang Xiaoxiao.
At that time, Bai Yiyi was like a wild beast, wild and unrestrained.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took her home and made her a member of the family. The three children in their family accepted Bai Yiyi and warmed her with family love. Apart from that, nothing could restrain her.
Like a semi-tamed wild animal, the boundaries of civilization are not very clear to her.
That process gave Jiang Xiaoxiao a headache.
But for Bai Yiyi, she had no way to deal with Jiang Xiaoxiao from the very beginning.
How could a strange woman, upon meeting someone like her, immediately surround her with immense love and concern, and even though her unruly eyes reflected her fear and embarrassment, she was completely unable to resist her attention.
If Jiang Xiaoxiao went to catch her, Bai Yiyi would go home without resistance, but with a helpless expression on her face, as if saying, "Oh, damn! This woman is so annoying."
I even walked back into the house somewhat helplessly.
Bai Yiyi would submissively let Jiang Xiaoxiao take care of her wounds, dote on her, and suffocate her with maternal love.
When Jiang Xiaoxiao discovered Bai Yiyi, the child was already fourteen years old.
Bai Yi relies on constant wandering to avoid well-meaning social welfare agencies, stealing anything she needs: food, clothes and money.
She was very smart and learned by herself from discarded newspapers and magazines. The scrapyard became her favorite place to hang out. If possible, she would stand at the newspaper column for a long time, trying to read those obscure texts word by word.
From what she read and the little television she saw and the radio she heard, she understood the concept of family, but it was just a concept.
The child only trusted herself.
If Bai Yiyi hadn't stolen Jiang Xiaoxiao's wallet, she would have fallen down the stairs while escaping, breaking her leg, bleeding from her head, and falling into a coma.
Jiang Xiaoxiao racked her brains to drag the child into the car and sent her to the local hospital. The doctor diagnosed that her lungs were injured and she was bleeding severely, so she was quickly sent to the largest hospital 80 kilometers away.
