Chapter 8098 Little Girl
Capital.
Gao Yiming followed Taishu Yi and Wang Xiuwen, becoming more and more confused as he walked.
Where are you going?
"We're just ahead." Taishu Yi said lightly.
At this time, not only Gao Yiming was confused, but Wang Xiuwen was also confused.
He is quite familiar with this place.
He purchased the pork raised by his own family and came here once.
The people living in this alley are poor people. In the capital, they are low-class people doing odd jobs.
You can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the sewage flowing everywhere in the alley, as well as the dull-eyed and ragged people.
"I've never been here before." Gao Yiming whispered.
"You haven't been here before. It's normal. People here are poor, haha. No matter how bad your life is, you still have a lot of real estate. You can just beg for it in the cracks of the rocks and sell it. Those who stutter, the people here, hum, life was so hard, you can’t imagine it.”
Wang Xiuwen narrowed his eyes.
"Woooo..."
Suddenly, a cry came from the front.
Turning the corner, a little girl appeared in front of the three of them.
This little girl was at most five or six years old. She was wearing rags, her face was dark, and tears kept falling from her cheeks.
"Little girl, why are you crying?"
Tai Shuyi squatted down and said gently.
"Uncle, I'm hungry and my mother won't give me anything to eat."
When the little girl saw Taishu Yi, her eyes lit up and she recognized Taishu Yi.
"Last time, didn't I bring a bag of rice to your house?" Taishu Yi frowned.
“My mother said that we should save some rice and can only eat one porridge every day. I can’t eat enough, I’m hungry!” the little girl complained.
"How can this be done? You are growing taller. I will tell your mother about this when you get back."
Tai Shuyi took out his handkerchief and wiped the little girl's tears.
"Come on, don't cry. My uncle brought you candies. These are the new fruit-flavored candies from Yang's Trading Company."
Tai Shuyi took out two candies, grabbed the little girl's palm, and put the candies Place it on the little girl's hand.
The little girl immediately peeled off a candy and put it in her mouth.
A sweet taste spreads quickly in the mouth.
The little girl giggled.
"Come, uncle will take you home."
Tai Shuyi held the little girl's hand and turned back to Gao Yiming. Wang Xiuwen said: "Follow you."
That's all. He said nothing more, and his face was very serious.
After walking for a while, a small courtyard appeared in front of us.
The houses here are all messy small courtyards, one after another, one after another.
There were sounds of quarreling in the yard.
"Your family's debt must be paid off today." This was a man's voice, breathing heavily.
"Brother, look at what else we have in our house. I will definitely pay it back if I can. This is really not enough. If we give it a few more days, my man will come back with his wages." The person who spoke was A woman's voice, old and groveling.
Gao Yiming's eyes widened.
Even if we haven’t seen each other for many years, he can still remember this voice.
That was the voice of his only little sister.
He wanted to rush in.
But he saw Taishu Yi put his finger to his mouth and made the word "hush".
Gao Yiming put his hand to his mouth, trying not to make any sound.
He still has to listen to what the Marshal says.
"With your man's salary, how much can you repay? Do you know that your family's debt has increased by one hundred taels a while ago." The man's voice came out again. "Another hundred taels more? How is this possible?" the woman said in shock.
"How is it impossible? That good brother of yours went gambling again and lost a hundred taels. Humph, he thought that several casino owners were kind-hearted people in these years. , if you can forgive him the debt, how will he know that you are paying the money behind his back?"
"In short, We are old acquaintances. A person like your brother is not worthy of you paying off his debts. If this continues, will your family still have a chance to survive? "
"If it were not me, if it were someone else, you? Do you understand that you and your children will be arrested and sold?”
The man said with an impatient tone.
Gao Yiming’s eyes were filled with anger!
One hundred taels?
Nonsense!
He hasn’t gambled for a long time, at least for two years. How could he owe a hundred taels?
This clearly shows that someone is here to blackmail you.
Who is behind it? It wasn't clear yet, but he had to figure out what was going on?
"My brother is not a bad person, he must have encountered difficulties again." The woman said in a low voice.
"Why are you still speaking for him? Are you stupid? Does he care about the family at all?" the man said.
“You can’t blame him. My brother is a great hero, but he only knows the art of war in his life, and he doesn’t know anything else. Back then, who could have expected that something like that would happen? .”
"I will take over his debt for him. You go back and tell the boss... They want to come to arrest me, but come and see if they can go back after they come. Don't think that I am easy to bully. I am the queen of the general, and I am not a crybaby." An ordinary woman.”
The woman’s voice was very firm.
Gao Yiming's tears couldn't help but flow down, drop by drop from his eyes.
He turned his back, not wanting others to see his embarrassment.
Once, when his position in the army was wiped out, he did not cry.
He was set up and all his family's money was lost, but he did not cry.
He was looked down upon by those who looked up to him before, and he did not cry.
But now, he really can't control it.
At this moment, the little gambling spirit he still had completely dissipated.
And regret lingered in his heart, making him about to collapse.
Once, he thought that his sister had abandoned him and left, refusing to come back for many years.
He thought his sister had abandoned him as an older brother.
Who would have thought that my sister is still the same little sister who admired him and regarded him as a great hero.
Behind the back, she was carrying the pain for him, but he knew nothing about it!
“Well, if you say that, I have nothing to say.”
"I will bring your words to the boss. As for what the boss will do, there is nothing I can do."
After that, the man turned around and walked outside.
When he opened the door and came outside, he suddenly saw several strangers standing nearby and was startled.
However, he didn't say anything. What these people do has nothing to do with him.
He turned around and left from the side.
Because his line of sight was blocked by Taishu Yi's tall and majestic body, he did not notice Gao Yiming.
But Gao Yiming saw his appearance clearly.
He vaguely remembered that it should be one of his former housekeepers.
Unexpectedly, the former housekeeper was still pretending.
His fists were clenched.
"Let's go in."
Tai Shuyi said and led the little girl inside.
The little girl was happily eating candy. She didn’t understand adult matters.
All I know is that there is something sweet to eat. Just happy.
