Xu Youyou frowned slightly and asked, "Why did you run away from home?"

The child said, "My mother died of illness. My father took 50,000 yuan and wanted me to marry the lame old bachelor in the village. I didn't want to, so I ran away."

Xu Youyou frowned immediately, and then she remembered the child mentioned his sister: "You seem to have a sister."

"I was afraid that after I ran away, my father would force my sister to marry him, so I took her with me. We walked for a long time before we got to Shanghai." After the child said this, he looked at Xu Youyou timidly, afraid to see disapproval in her eyes.

Xu Youyou patted her shoulder and praised her, "Well done on your run! You even thought of your sister. You're so thoughtful!"

The child's eyes lit up instantly.

"Why did you come to Shanghai?"

The child explained, "I heard from the villagers that Shanghai is a land of gold. If you work here casually, you can earn several thousand yuan a month!"

Xu Youyou saw that she seemed young and asked, "How old are you?"

The child said sullenly, "Fifteen years old."

Xu Youyou sighed: "Doesn't child labor exist everywhere?"

The child nodded vigorously and said, "Shanghai is different from my home. I don't have an ID card and I'm small. They won't hire me no matter what."

Xu Youyou couldn't help but think of her previous life. Because of the suppression from Lu Shaoyan and the Gu family, she couldn't find a job anywhere. She was in the same situation as the child in front of her.

"You and your sister are living by picking up trash in Shanghai now?"

The child said, "Yes! We can pick up trash! We can earn at least 20 or 30 yuan a day!"

"Where do you live?"

"Under the bridge... We were so lucky. We found a place to stay right after arriving in Shanghai. Inside the bridge, there were quilts left by others! There were also pots and pans, everything. No one wanted to fight with us!"

Although it is an extremely tragic thing, the child feels that she is very lucky. She does not show any complaints about life, which makes people feel that she is really happy about these things.

When Xu Youyou heard this, she felt it sounded very familiar and couldn't help but ask carefully about the location of the bridge hole.

She didn't expect that things in this world could be so coincidental.

The bridge arch where the child and her sister lived was the one where Xie Ran lived before. They used the miscellaneous things that Xie Ran did not take away. Calculating the time, the two children moved in almost two days after Xie Ran was taken away by her.

Xu Youyou felt bitter in her heart. She still couldn't figure out what was so special about this child, but she had already decided to help them.

"Do you know any celebrities?" Xu Youyou asked.

The child nodded and said, "I know. I found a celebrity autograph last month, and someone at the scrap yard bought it for ten dollars. It's really valuable!"

Xu Youyou felt that the child had been cheated by the people at the recycling station, but it was not easy to help settle the score with the people at the recycling station as it had been so long.

"I think you can be a star." Xu Youyou said.

The child wondered: "Is it really that easy to be a star?"

Xu Youyou said, "I opened a company that trains celebrities. I think your eyes are very beautiful. You can start as a child actor. If you believe in me, I will take you to the company to have a look."

The child was actually quite alert, but she really liked Xu Youyou and instinctively didn't want to doubt her friend: "Now? But I want to give the multi-grain biscuits to my sister first. She didn't eat much last night."

Xu Youyou nodded.

Xu Fang drove the car over, but the child refused to get in. She was too dirty. Xu Youyou's car was not only clean but also smelled good, and she was afraid of getting it dirty.

"I'll walk over there, I can run so fast!" said the child.

Xu Youyou shook her head: "Get in the car first, I have other things to do today, I'm in a hurry."

The child climbed up reluctantly, but after getting on the bus, even though she was very curious, she didn't dare to reach out and touch anything. She placed her hands politely on her knees, and she was so restrained that she wanted to curl up and hide in the corner.

Xu Youyou said helplessly: "Relax, don't eat people."

The child tried to nod, but his movements showed no sign of relaxing.

Seeing her like this, Xu Youyou didn't try to persuade her anymore, but just told Xu Fang to drive towards the bridge where the child lived.

Before the car reached its destination, we saw a child halfway along the road who was dressed the same as the child but was shorter.

"That's my sister!" said the child.

Xu Youyou took a look at the child. Judging from her figure, she seemed to be only seven or eight years old. She cursed the child's father in her heart, saying he was a beast for forcing such a young child to get married.

Ye Xiaomei was dragging a fertilizer bag in her hand and looking for plastic bottles hidden in the grass along the way. Suddenly, a car stopped beside her.

The little girl was so scared that she hid aside. In her eyes, cars were very expensive. In her hometown village, if anyone bought a car, the villagers would gather around and call him "big boss".

"younger sister!"

A familiar voice came from the car, and the little girl looked at her sister in the car window in disbelief.

Xu Fang got out of the car herself, opened the door, and said to the girl with a smile, "Come in. Your sister has found a job. You should go and take a look too. Maybe there's a position for you there too."

Ye Xiaomei is young and listens to her elder sister in everything. At this time, she looks at her elder sister for help.

Xu Youyou said, "You and your sister can be actors together. The company will even arrange a dormitory for you. You won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

The child listened to Xu Youyou's description and immediately felt longing. He asked, "Can we eat meat every meal?"

Xu Youyou nodded vigorously: "Of course, I'm just afraid that by then you will be tired of eating meat."

The child and his sister shook their heads together: "How can you get tired of eating meat? Meat is the most delicious thing in the world."

Finally, they coaxed both of them into the car, and Xu Youyou learned more about their situation on the way.

The reason these two children were lucky was that one was fifteen years old and the other ten years old. They relied on their own two legs to escape from the village deep in the mountains. Although there were twists and turns along the way, they still arrived in Shanghai safely.

It's unlucky, but the two of them happened to meet such a cruel family. In a small mountain village where boys are extremely favored over girls, the gambling-addicted father would sell his daughter for just tens of thousands of yuan.

Xu Youyou called Xie Ran in advance, so as soon as her car entered the company's basement, Xie Ran's assistant was already waiting there.

Xu Youyou actually didn’t know whether these two children had the talent to be actors, she was just looking for a reason to take care of them.

The most troublesome thing is that neither of them has an ID card. Xu Youyou plans to ask Xie Ran to think of a solution. After all, they are both young and should be going to school.

Even though Xu Youyou was born in an orphanage, she finished college. Even though she didn't get a particularly good job after graduation because of her education, she still instinctively felt that children should study.

When Xie Ran heard that he had been able to help two children by going to the bridge tunnel, he felt that this was a coincidence that was almost outrageous. He looked at the two children with a little more kindness.

But the necessary process still needs to be followed.

"Boss, being an actor requires voice, stage presence, appearance and performance. These two kids are too thin, so it's hard for them to play other roles, but they can play disaster victims in film and television dramas." Xie Ran said.

There are very few skinny children nowadays. The victims in movies and TV shows are all plump and white. I really can’t find a more vivid image than these two.

Xu Youyou said: "It would be great if there were roles that suit them."

The two sisters were overjoyed when they heard this, and the older sister kept thanking Xie Ran.

When Xie Ran heard her voice, he looked thoughtful and asked, "Can you sing?"
