After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 33 Pei Yingxue was abandoned by her family
As soon as Tong Jia opened the dormitory door, Pei Yingxue threw herself into her arms.
While comforting the crying Pei Yingxue, she also checked on Pei Yingxue's condition.
Pei Yingxue's hair was messy, and her clothes looked like they hadn't been changed for a long time. Her hands and face were a little blue from the cold. She no longer looked like the pampered lady she used to be, but more like a refugee fleeing from war.
Tong Jia comforted Pei Yingxue a few words, but seeing that she was just immersed in her own emotions and ignored her, she simply stopped talking and waited patiently for Pei Yingxue to finish crying.
While waiting for Pei Yingxue to finish crying, she signaled Tao Junle with her eyes to arrange the things in their bags.
Actually, there was nothing much to arrange. I just made the bed and put the clothes in the bag in the closet. It took less than a quarter of an hour to finish.
The other things were all in the RV. Even though Pei Yingxue was crying her heart out, Tong Jia couldn't treat her like a fool and take the big things out of the RV in front of her.
So, after packing up the things in his bag, Tao Junle consciously took a basin to get water outside and started cleaning the dormitory.
Half an hour later, Tao Junle had wiped the two tables in the dormitory as if they had just been polished, but Pei Yingxue was still lying in Tong Jia's arms crying.
Tao Junle scratched his head and looked at Tong Jia helplessly.
He didn't know what else he could do.
Tong Jia was also very helpless. Both of her arms were numb, and her legs could hardly support the weight of two people. She was about to kneel down.
I was even more worried that if Pei Yingxue continued crying like this, she would collapse from dehydration.
In the end, he spoke up to stop Pei Yingxue from crying any further.
She said, "Le Le, it's too cold in this room. Go out and find some firewood. And bring back the small stove from the cafeteria. Let's light the stove and warm ourselves up.
Yingxue, be good, let's stop crying for now. Come on, sit on the chair and take your time.
Tell me, what happened and what are the rumors outside? "
In addition to a few pickle jars and water tanks in the cafeteria, there were also two coal stoves. Tong Jia asked Tao Junle to go and get one for emergency use. It also gave him a reason to go outside so that he wouldn't have to continue listening to Pei Yingxue crying.
Since Tao Junle was not around, Pei Yingxue could speak without restraint.
Sure enough, not long after Tao Junle left, Pei Yingxue poured out all the bitterness that she had been holding in for several days.
She said, "Jia Jia, I always thought my father was a patriotic businessman. This time when I went back, I realized that he... he is patriotic, but it is true that the feudal country in the past was cannibalistic and did not leave any bones.
Did you know? He had actually been sending money and gifts to the man who had escaped from the capital, dreaming not only of becoming a prominent businessman but also of becoming a key figure in restoring the feudal dynasty.
Although I don't have the unique insights into current affairs like you and Gao Chong, I also know that the demise of the feudal dynasty is an inevitable trend and his behavior is retrograde.
I just wanted to persuade him, but... wuwu...
When I went to his study to find him, I discovered that he... he not only sent money and gifts to Jingyuan, but also had connections with several old warlords who were living in Tianjin, and he was even more... even more of a tool of the Fuso people.
Seeing him nodding and bowing to those guests and Japanese people, I was furious and rushed into the study to ask him why he did this.
But he didn't answer me. Instead, he watched those Japanese people knock me unconscious and take me away.
Originally, those Japanese people wanted to get rid of me secretly, but suddenly a big shot saw me, looked at my face for a long time, and finally sent me back.
After I got back, my father said that he did this for the safety of our entire family. He knew where the bottom line was and told me not to worry.
He also said that because of my impulsiveness, he almost spent half of his family fortune to get me back.
I felt extremely guilty and regretful at the time. I wondered why I didn't hold back and wait until those Japanese people and the guest left before asking my father. That way, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
But that night the news that I was kidnapped by thieves spread throughout the streets and alleys of Tianjin.
I…felt that it was because of my impulsiveness that my family not only suffered shame but also lost money, so I thought that as long as I died, all the troubles would be over.
But... wuwu... Jiajia, they are all my family, how could you treat me like that, wuwu..."
Tong Jia never thought that the pampered Pei Yingxue would be sold out by her own biological father. She didn't know what words to use to comfort her, so she could only continue to cry with her.
Fortunately, Pei Yingxue didn't cry for long this time, and she finished telling the rest of the story while sobbing.
Pei Yingxue thought that if she died, the negative public opinion about her family would end, so she bought poison and prepared to commit suicide by taking it.
Before she committed suicide, she said goodbye to her family members one by one.
In her father's study, she saw the former guest who had been with the Japanese. It was at this moment that the medicine bottle in her hand fell to the ground, and she accidentally took the wrong medicine from one of the guest's.
So, after she took the medicine, she didn't die, but fell into a deep sleep.
In her dream, she heard the attitudes of all her relatives towards her.
She also knew that her family wanted to send her abroad to avoid rumors, but it was just to have a legitimate reason to send her to Japan.
The Fuso man who was particularly interested in her was said to have a high status in Fuso and was particularly fond of delicate and tender girls.
Although they knew that her fate would not be good after she went to Fuso, her family members who loved her very much still coaxed and deceived her into sending her away, just to get the support of the Fuso people, hoping that one day their whole family could become founding heroes of the restoration.
What an absurd and ridiculous thing, yet it happened to Pei Yingxue.
Pei Yingxue finally said bitterly: "Since they don't treat me as a relative, then I don't care about them anymore.
The gentleman who gave me the wrong medicine should be dead by now.
He is the only impoverished warlord who still has a guard. Without his help, my father would not have so many people to come to me.
Tomorrow is the day when that Japanese man returns home. As long as I am not discovered by them before then, that Japanese man will not easily forgive those who deceived him."
Her words were harsh, and she hoped that the Japanese man could punish her family for betraying and selling out her, but her trembling hands and voice still exposed her inner fragility.
Tong Jia held her hand, giving her strength, and said, "It's okay, Yingxue. You did a great job by escaping and not just sitting there waiting to die."
You still have us. Whatever you want to do next, whatever plans you have, I will fully cooperate with you."
“I don’t know either. When I was running, I had only one thought.
Even if I die in Tianjin, I cannot be sent to Fuso for no apparent reason.
When I came out, I took with me all the savings I had accumulated since I was a child, as well as the dowry my grandmother had saved for me.
I really don't know who to look for, so I can only come to you.
But you were not there. I remember when you were joking with Lele, you deliberately went through the window instead of the door, so I came in according to your method.
When I saw that there was nothing in the dormitory, I almost despaired.
If I hadn't thought that dying of starvation or freezing here would be better than being found and taken back, I wouldn't have seen you.
Jia Jia, where have you been?
I've been cold and hungry these past two days, and the bed is so uncomfortable.
When I heard the door open just now, I thought I was done for, but I still couldn’t hide…”
"Two days? Do you mean you came here two days ago?" Tong Jia heard a key question.
Pei Yingxue nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tong Jia said: "You and I have a good relationship in school, which is known to everyone. Now that the school is on vacation and the students are not concentrating, there may be a certain lag in information, but sooner or later your family will come to find you.
You can't stay here any longer, I have to find a way to send you away.
Do you have any trustworthy friends or family outside of Tianjin?"
Pei Yingxue said with despair: "My relatives in Tianjin are like this, how can I believe my relatives in other places? I..."
Tong Jia's hearing was more sensitive than Pei Yingxue's. When she sensed some movement outside, she immediately covered Pei Yingxue's mouth.
Soon there were footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door.
The person who knocked was the door of Tong Jia's dormitory, and both of their hearts almost jumped into their throats.
Tong Jia asked, "Who is it?"
A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door, and he said, "Hello, Miss Tong.
I am the housekeeper of Miss Pei Yingxue's house. On the night when Miss Pei went home for vacation, I accompanied her to Miss Tong's place.
I didn't want to disturb Miss Tong, but my young lady ran away from home because of a disagreement with the master.
For the sake of the young lady's safety, I have come to disturb Miss Tong again.
Please open the door, Miss Tong. We need to check if my daughter is home."
Tong Jia glanced at Pei Yingxue and saw that Pei Yingxue had lost all her energy and spirit, and even the hand that was holding Tong Jia was slowly losing strength.
There was no time and no possibility to calm Pei Yingxue down now. Tong Jia took a handful of sleeping pills from the RV and gave Pei Yingxue the knock. Then he moved her and the small box she brought with her into the RV, and then pretended to be weak and powerless to open the door.
The door had just opened a crack when it was pushed open forcefully by someone outside.
A middle-aged man and four burly men rushed into the dormitory and turned the dormitory, which Tao Junle had just cleaned up not long ago, into a mess.
Naturally, nothing was found in the dormitory, which could be seen through at a glance.
The housekeeper was somewhat reluctant when he left, but in order to find Pei Yingxue as soon as possible, he still gave Tong Jia a hypocritical smile that was not very friendly.
He said, "Miss Tong, this servant is worried about his master and has no sense of proportion. Please don't mind it.
I see that Miss Tong doesn't look well. It must be because the weather is too cold and she is frozen.
These two dollars are to calm Miss Tong down and apologize. I hope Miss Tong can take good care of herself.
If our young lady comes to see you, I hope Miss Tong can keep her and inform me as soon as possible. Then our master will be doubly grateful."
Tong Jia naturally agreed and sent the person away with a smile on her face.
When Tao Junle came back with a coal stove and some dry wood, he was still wondering why Pei Yingxue was not there.
After Tong Jia and Tao Junle communicated with pen and paper, Tao Junle went out to buy food and deliberately observed the situation around the dormitory. The Pei family did leave someone to keep an eye on them.
Someone was watching her, and Pei Yingxue's time in the RV was limited. Once she came out, she would most likely be discovered.
In order to resolve the current crisis, Tong Jia felt that she should be sent away.
But in today's world, where can we go?
Suddenly, the shadows of Yuan Shengnan and Yang Jixia flashed before Tong Jia's eyes.
Their place might be the best destination for Pei Yingxue now.
It’s just that Yang Jixia’s place is too far away, so it’s unrealistic to send him there. But it’s still possible to send him to Yuan Shengnan.
But Tong Jia’s level is not high now, so she can’t directly decide to send people over. She must go through her superior Gao Chong.
Thinking that she still had something to give to Gao Chong, Tong Jia went directly to the student dormitory to find Gao Chong.
She had just entered Gao Chong's dormitory when Butler Pei rushed in with his men.
In addition to Gao Chong, there were two other girls in Gao Chong's dormitory who had not returned home. When they saw someone suddenly rushing in, they were all scared and cried.
This dormitory is even more obvious at a glance, there is not even a cabinet to hide people.
Butler Pei repeated to Gao Chong what he had just said to Tong Jia, and gave each of the three girls a silver dollar, both to calm them down and to bribe them.
But the other two girls didn't know Pei Yingxue at all, and Gao Chong couldn't be bribed by money.
Considering that some things were not convenient for roommates to know, Gao Chong went back to Tong Jia's dormitory with Tong Jia.
On the way, she learned the whole story from Tong Jia. She was so angry that her teeth ached. She immediately said that she would find an opportunity to tell Yuan Shengnan about this matter.
But Tong Jia said, "This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. Yingxue has been under a lot of mental pressure these days and may collapse at any time."
"But now the Pei family is keeping an eye on us, and my cousin has connections in the organization.
You can't expose the organization's affairs just to help Pei Yingxue, right?
We can't rush this matter, we still need to take a long-term view." Gao Chong disagreed.
Tong Jia also knew that this was not a good opportunity, but if she didn't send the person away, she would be exposed.
Either she couldn't hide the fact that Pei Yingxue was with her, or she couldn't hide the fact that Pei Yingxue herself had space in the RV.
Although Pei Yingxue is older than Tao Junle, she is not as reliable as Tao Junle. Tong Jia is worried about exposing such a big secret in front of her.
The most important thing is that Pei Yingxue is not a wicked person. The drug given by Meng Po is only for emergency use once, but using it too much will backfire on her.
Unless the medicine is sprinkled on bad people and a small number of good people are accidentally injured, that situation is inevitable and she will not suffer backlash.
But it’s difficult to find people in school now, let alone bad people.
Those people in the Pei family are indeed not good people, but if you want to use drugs on them, you have to use forgetfulness powder.
This is not a big deal. The problem is that she doesn't know how many people in the Pei family know that Butler Pei brought people to find her.
If there is someone who knows about this, and when these people return, they find that they have forgotten the memory of this period of time, they will also be suspected.
So, after much thought, Tong Jiasi decided that it would be best to send Pei Yingxue to a safe place today.
