I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl
Chapter 56 I Have a Relative
"They kicked us out of the house without saying a word, and didn't even give the children thick clothes to wear, let alone food. If it weren't for us neighbors helping out, Qirui would have either frozen to death or starved to death."
"That's right. They were so cruel back then that they didn't even leave Qirui any job. Now that Qirui has finally found a shop that's willing to keep him as a handyman, they have the nerve to come to Mr. Geng's house and ask for his wages!"
The child was young and weak, and most importantly, he had such adoptive parents. With multiple negative buffs stacked on top of each other, even if he didn't want money and just wanted something to eat, it would still be difficult for him to find a job.
Finally, a family called Geng took him in and let him help with odd jobs in the carriage shop. However, after hearing about what happened, his adoptive parents came over immediately and forced Geng to give him the wages he "deserved".
Mr. Geng said that he had no wages, he just took Ning Qirui in out of pity for him, gave him food and a bed so that he wouldn't have to sleep on the streets and die of hunger and cold.
Geng Dongjia asked them in return, "If it were your family, would you leave plenty of strong laborers unused and instead pay a tiny child to do the work?"
His question was reasonable, but the child's adoptive parents refused to listen to reason. They were unreasonable and insisted on getting money, and even threatened to smash the store if the child didn't.
The kid was so angry that he almost died. He had finally found someone who was willing to take him in, but his adoptive parents seemed to be afraid that he would be forced to death by them. They just smelled the smell and came to the store to make trouble.
They are not afraid of losing face, but he is afraid that they will delay his benefactor's business!
In a rage, the child exposed everything the couple had done in front of all the customers in the inn.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked. Wow, this couple is capable of doing anything bad and taking advantage of anyone. This is really like a knife stabbing one's ass.
His adoptive parents' shortcomings were exposed, which led to everyone pointing fingers at them and making all kinds of ridicule and mockery. The couple was so angry that they wanted to beat to death the child who exposed their shortcomings.
But the child is not stupid. Before he was sold to that family, he had to make a living under their hands and had to swallow his anger no matter how much grievances he suffered. But now it is different. He has been kicked out by that family.
So before the other party could hit him, he cleverly jumped out of the inn and ran away like the wind.
His adoptive parents were both in their forties and could not match him in terms of speed. They both ran until they were almost out of breath, but the child was always out of their reach, sometimes far away, sometimes close, deliberately provoking them, making them angry and helpless.
The couple couldn't catch up with him, and the people around them kept pointing and mocking them. They couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to support each other and leave while cursing.
Seeing that they had indeed gone far away and had no intention of making a comeback, the child quietly returned to the inn with a heavy heart and trepidation.
Although it was a bit shameless to do so, he still wanted to try to beg Mr. Geng, the owner of the inn, to see if he could continue to stay in the inn to do odd jobs.
He was willing to work in the kitchen, stable, etc. in the backyard from now on, and never show up for outsiders to see. He could also just eat the leftover noodle soup from the guests, and he didn't want any wages.
Yes, Geng Dongjia, the owner of the inn, actually paid him a salary. The reason why they said that he was only provided with food and lodging was because Geng Dongjia had always been wary of his adoptive parents.
Geng Dongjia hoped that he could save some money for himself, so that even if he encountered any misfortune in the future, he would have money on his side and at least he would not be like this time, where he almost died of hunger and cold.
He was very grateful to Geng Dongjia, and even secretly made up his mind to work in Geng's carriage shop for the rest of his life to repay Geng Dongjia's kindness to him.
But now, he felt that there was a high probability that he would lose this job. After all, his adoptive parents were not easy to deal with. As long as he was still in the inn, they would definitely come to the inn to make trouble again.
The young boy, who was in his early teens, was torn between two thoughts in his mind.
One of them said that if he knew how to be grateful, he should quit the job on his own initiative, so that the two people would not cause trouble again in the future and affect Mr. Geng's business.
Another said, "You are only eleven years old. Where else can you go if you leave here? You can't always expect the kind neighbors to help you. Have you forgotten the hardship and despair you had when you were looking for work everywhere but were rejected every time?"
Two voices that no one else could hear buzzed in his head, slowing him down. He didn't know when two tear marks appeared on his face, but he was unaware of it.
"Young man, can I take up a moment of your time?" A clear and gentle voice suddenly sounded. He raised his head and saw the dark and thin young man whom he had met once before.
Oh, and there was also a thin dark girl who was looking back and forth between him and the thin dark boy.
Although he was in a bad mood, he still stopped and replied, "Okay, tell me what you want to say."
The dark and thin boy, Bai Jingzhou, asked the child inconspicuously, "What's your name, little brother? How old are you this year?"
The child was a little confused and alert. "Why are you asking this?"
Bai Jingzhou did not hide it from him, "I have a relative who got lost about five years ago. After hearing about the little brother's life experience from the neighbors around, I thought maybe you might be the person I'm looking for."
When the child heard this, his expression changed several times and he seemed to be in a very complicated mood, but he quickly lowered his eyes and said in a somewhat cold voice, "Then you probably have the wrong person. I'm not lost." He was deliberately abandoned by his own grandmother.
He thought that after he said this, Bai Jingzhou would leave disappointed, but unexpectedly, the other party became more interested in him.
Although Bai Jingzhou only received part of the little original owner's memory, he still remembered the two things his mother hated most about his grandmother.
He stared closely at the other person's face, which was about 50% similar to his older cousin and younger cousin. "What a coincidence! My cousin didn't get lost on his own. He was deliberately left behind by his grandmother."
The child suddenly looked up and stared at Bai Jingzhou with disbelief in his eyes.
Bai Jingzhou stretched out his hand to him. "My last name is Bai, and my given name is Jingzhou. I wonder if you have any impression of this name, little brother?"
The child shook his head subconsciously.
