Crossing 1992: Contracting a barren mountain and becoming a huge demolition household

She doesn't want to and doesn't dare to do anything bad.

If she hadn't accidentally encountered Ye Ke's unlocked car that day, she, who didn't know how to open or pick a lock, wouldn't have dared to steal the car directly.

Before that day, she had never thought of stealing anything. But when she accidentally saw that Ye Ke's car was not locked, a struggle flashed through her mind. Thinking of her hungry brothers and sisters, she decisively pushed the car away.

Afterwards, she hurriedly found a used car shop. Fortunately, the shop owner did not ask too many questions, so she easily got 50 yuan and bought a lot of steamed buns. All the brothers and sisters in the welfare home were very full.

After all, it was her first time doing something bad, and she was very nervous.

So when she saw the blue bicycle again today, she immediately recognized it as the one she had stolen before. That's why she couldn't help but keep observing it until Ye Ke discovered it...

The little girl sobbed as Ye Ke described her nervous and guilty mood when she stole the car.

Ye Ke felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

Looking at the little girl's worn and ill-fitting clothes and her thin and malnourished body, I couldn't bring myself to say anything to blame or educate her.

Canglin is practical and knows etiquette.

What's more, she was just a little girl who simply wanted to fill her stomach.

"Where are the adults in your orphanage?" From the little girl's description, Ye Ke heard only her and her brothers and sisters, without any trace of adults.

As soon as Ye Ke finished speaking, the little girl's eyes, which had originally stopped shedding tears, turned red again. She forced herself to hold back her tears, not letting them fall.

"The director's grandmother is sick."

"Besides the dean?" Ye Ke asked.

The little girl shook her head gently. "No, there are no other adults except the director."

Ye Ke sat on the bench in a daze, and finally asked with difficulty, "So, what did you eat before you stole the car?"

When the girl mentioned car theft, her expression turned a little ashamed. She lowered her head and whispered, "When the director's grandmother was not sick, she would go to work during the day, and I would take my brothers and sisters to pick up vegetables to eat and pick up garbage to sell for money. Later, the director's grandmother fell ill, and we had no money to eat. Everyone started to starve, so I..."

The children were not considered to be laborers. The money they could earn from collecting garbage was only a few cents. If they went to the market to pick up vegetables, they could only make a small dish of stir-fry. With so many children in the welfare home, how could they feed them?

Everyone, from top to bottom, depends on the salary earned by the dean. Now that the dean has fallen, the children under him will naturally have to starve.

After hearing all this from the little girl, Ye Ke didn't know how to describe her current mood. Sympathy? Pity? Or sadness?

These complex emotions intertwined together and converged into a strong thought: Help them, Ye Ke, you have the ability, help them.

Ye Ke looked at the little girl and asked softly, making the most hushed sound of her life, "Where is your welfare home? Is it close to here?"

The little girl nodded in response and pointed in the direction of the south gate. "It's over there. It takes more than 20 minutes to walk there."

The distance was neither too far nor too close, but she had never been to C University before. She used to be busy leading her younger brothers and sisters out to pick up trash and vegetables, and had no time to wander around.

Later, when the director's grandmother fell ill, she realized that if she continued to pick up things foolishly, it would not be long before she and her younger brothers and sisters would starve to death in the welfare home.

She remembered hearing about a large university nearby, so she went looking for it. Fortunately, C University was an open campus, so besides students, children from nearby residents could also come in and hang out.

She groped her way into C University without any obstruction, and relying on her survival instinct, she followed the aroma of food to find the cafeteria.

It was much easier to pick up things in the cafeteria of C University than in the vegetable market, so she would squat in the cafeteria on time every day, and steal some from the leftover food bucket from time to time when no one was paying attention.

But she was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to take more. She just tried to pick up the steamed buns that everyone hadn't finished eating. After all, steamed buns were solid, filling and could be stored for a long time. Even if she wasn't full, she could feel full after drinking more hot water.

It wasn't until she saw Ye Ke's car was unlocked and parked naked in front of her that she couldn't resist the temptation and took action.

Ye Ke patted her head and praised her, "You're so brave! You're so young, yet you know how to protect your brothers and sisters!"

The little girl blushed suddenly and was speechless.

Ye Ke stood up and walked to the bicycle. He sat on it, put his feet on the ground, and said to the little girl, "Come on, get on the bike. Can you take me to see where you live?"

The little girl nervously grasped the armrest of the chair, as if trying to discern the good and evil in Ye Ke's words.

Ye Ke smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister won't hurt you."

Ye Ke didn't say anything else, but just tried his best to express his sincerity and kindness to the little girl.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but still didn't agree. She said, "I'm going to go back and ask the director first. If she agrees, I'll be here waiting for you tomorrow."

Although she was moved by Ye Ke's kindness, she still remained vigilant.

Ye Ke smiled brightly after hearing this and gave a thumbs-up, praising him. "Good boy, you are so smart and alert. You should always be skeptical of everyone you meet in the future!"

Seeing that Ye Ke wasn't angry, the little girl finally smiled with relief. It was pure yet a little cautious. This was the first time Ye Ke had seen her smile like that.

Ye Ke was happy but also felt a little sad. Being a sensitive and precocious child, he was always good at observing people's expressions.
