Chapter 52: The Master Is Ignorant
Ning Meng wanted to say that she was just staying in the house as the owner of the house to help Mingxi by the way, but she couldn't say it. She can fool everyone, but she still can't fool herself after all.
Zhuo Honghong shook off Ning Meng's hand and said, "Don't stand on the so-called moral high ground and tell me any big truths, in the end, we are just the same people." I'm not afraid to tell you that you don't want to find anything today!"
While talking, Mingxi and Chiyan also fought for hundreds of rounds and still didn't win.
Chi Yan sneered: "How can you, an elder brother, set an example for me, a younger brother, if you don't practice diligently." After being in your turtle shell for a long time, you can't move your muscles and bones. ”
Mingxi also wondered why Chi Yan's strength had suddenly increased greatly, he had obviously used all his strength, and Ning Meng was also by his side, how could he almost be a little overwhelmed. Mingxi knew that he was afraid that he would be defeated after a while, not only could he not find anything, but he would not be able to benefit at all, so he said: "I don't care about you today, you can do it yourself." ”
Ning Meng could see that Mingxi was looking for a step for herself, and cooperated: "Yes, the business of the Worry Relief House is important. Mingxi, let's go!"
Seeing that the two were leaving, Chiyan didn't mean to chase after him, and said, "My brother Mingxi has become as stupid as his master after a long time in the Worry Relief House. ”
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai have been waiting for Ning Meng and Mingxi to come back, and when they saw these two people hanging their heads, they knew that they must not have taken advantage of it, and they didn't dare to come forward to talk, so they only followed.
Ning Meng sighed for a long time, Mingxi frowned, Xiao Hei was busy pouring tea and water at the back, and Xiao Bai was worried on the side.
Ning Meng saw Xiaobai's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaobai said, "After you left, a guest came. Woof. ”
Mingxi said, "Didn't you tell you to close the store, how could there be customers?" and his tone was full of reproach.
Xiaobai thought that he had done something wrong, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Lord Mingxi." He came in just before the store closed, and he was a regular customer, so I didn't dare to ignore it. Woof. ”
Ning Meng saw that Mingxi couldn't suppress his anger, and he couldn't even maintain his superficial demeanor, so he knew that the matter that Chiyan and Zhuo Honghong teamed up to do this time must not be simple, and saw that Xiaobai was innocently implicated, so he said, "Don't worry, tell me what's going on." ”
Xiaobai stepped forward and whispered a few words to Ning Meng. Ning Meng's heart tightened, it was really a wave of unevenness, a good place to realize her wishes, how could she make so many moths.
Ning Meng said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look now." ”
Seeing that Ning Meng was leaving, Mingxi hurriedly said, "Where are you going?"
Ning Meng said: "Go to the door to do business, didn't Xiaobai say that there are guests coming." ”
"It's dangerous outside. ”
"Dangerous? Are you talking about Chiyan? In order to avoid him, will I not go out for the rest of my life? Wang Shuaishuai is not so cowardly. ”
Mingxi knew that it was impossible for him to convince Ning Meng, so he had no choice but to follow Ning Meng out.
The guest did not come to the door in person, but was introduced by Zhao Yong, the little boy who felt that his upstairs neighbor was too noisy. Recently, for some reason, the school did not allow students to concentrate on revision, and let everyone take online classes at home. It's nothing, but there are always some people who don't have such conditions, and Xue Li is one of them.
Xue Li is Zhao Yong's tablemate, and it is said that she has not attended classes on time and handed in her homework for a long time during this time. The teacher has criticized her many times in the group, and Xue Li never reciprocates, but Zhao Yong knows that she does have a last resort. Zhao Yong wanted to help but had no other way, so he thought of solving the worry house.
Ning Meng and Mingxi came to Xue Li's house according to the address provided by Zhao Yong, which was a house that could not be more simple. If it weren't for Ning Meng seeing it with her own eyes, she couldn't even believe that there would be such a scattered and dilapidated corner hidden in the bustling city.
The house looked seventy or eighty years old, and it was too old to be an apartment. Once upon a time, it should have been magnificent, but now it is covered by layers of historical vicissitudes and dust that cannot be washed off.
Ning Meng walked up the creaky wooden steps, as if she would have collapsed if she had pushed a little harder. After turning a few corners in the corridor narrow enough to accommodate only one person, Ning Meng knocked on the innermost door.
The one who opened the door was a skinny girl, even in this era where thinness is beauty, this girl is too thin. At the age when she should have apple muscles, her cheeks collapsed, because her face was too thin, but her eyes were very big. In those big empty eyes, Ning Meng even saw a trace of despair.
Ning Meng said: "I am a friend of Zhao Yong, and he entrusted me to come over and have a look. I heard you have a wish. ”
Xue Li politely motioned for Ning Meng and Mingxi to come in, and thought that her house was too small to accommodate these two people, so she said, "Let's go out and talk." ”
The three of them went downstairs, picked up a stone table, and sat down next to it.
learned from Xue Li that Xue Li is the eldest daughter in the family, and there is a younger sister who is in junior high school and a younger brother who is in elementary school. His mother was mentally ill and his father had a disabled leg, and he made a living by pedaling three wheels and begging for food. The family of five is all supported by their father's meager income.
It's usually okay to say, it's just a matter of saving money to get by, but recently I need to study online but it's difficult.
There are three students in the family who need to take online classes, so they need at least three devices. But only my father has a smartphone, which is still the oldest model, and I still need to use it when I work, so it is impossible to leave it to them. Half a month after the start of the class, none of the three of them could attend the class.
Xue Li sighed and said, "Zhao Yong knew that this was the case in my family, so he kindly gave me a smartphone that he had eliminated at home, and he could usually make do with it." However, if there is a conflict in the start time, it will not be easy to manage. I'm an older sister, so of course I'll let my younger siblings learn first. So ......"
Xue Li didn't want to say any more, and Ning Meng couldn't bear to listen.
Ning Meng said: "I am the owner of a worry-solving house, which is a magical shop. As long as the wish made in the worry house will come true. As long as you make a wish, your problem will be solved in no time. ”
Ning Meng guessed that Xue Li should make a wish to get a smartphone or something, if it was this wish, even if she didn't say that Ning Meng would help her realize it. Ning Mengzhong thought that the life of herself and her grandmother was hard enough, but she didn't expect that there were people who were more bitter than her, thinking about it this way, the little hardship she suffered in the past was not bitter at all.
Unexpectedly, Xue Li said: "Zhao Yong told me that he went to make a wish." He's a nice guy and I know he wants to help me. But not everything can be solved by making a wish. I can make a wish when I encounter hardship today, but will I still make a wish when I encounter difficulties tomorrow? Besides, don't I need to be paid for making a wish? You see, I have no money, which means that I have to pay something a hundred times more precious than money. But that's not what I wanted. ”
Ning Meng really wanted to help her, and said, "If you really don't have anything to come up with, I can not charge you anything." Or wait until you really have it and give it to me. ”
Xue Li smiled: "I don't understand anything else, but I understand a truth, there is no free lunch in the world." Free stuff tends to be more expensive. I'm glad you guys are here today, so thank you for your kindness, but I'm ......."
Ning Meng didn't want to see those desperate eyes, let alone hear those desperate words, if she really had the so-called ability to save, she hoped that she could at least save the person in front of her.
"I just need a part-time job in my shop, mainly to serve tea and drinks to customers and clean the store," she said. The time is more free and billed by the hour, and the cost is more than that of a fast food restaurant. In addition, we will equip each employee with a smartphone, and of course we will take back the phone when the employee leaves. Try it if you want. ”
Xue Li listened and hurriedly said, "I am willing, when can I go to work?"
Ning Meng said: "Tomorrow, you can contact this person at a specific time." As he spoke, he wrote down the address of the Lemon Relief House and Xiaobai's contact information.
After leaving, Mingxi said, "We've never heard of recruiting part-time jobs in our store, and you're really different." ”
Ning Meng said: "Thank you for using such a good word to describe me, what is different, I think you want to say that I didn't keep to myself." ”
Mingxi said, "You know you still do that, and I don't look at what time it is." Chi Yan is eyeing over there, Gui Yuxuan's matter has not been figured out yet, and now he has to do some part-time job. Isn't your kindness a little too cheap. ”
"Perhaps, but I can't bear to see a seventeen-year-old girl stop because of such a small difficulty. ”
"People are born with different difficulties. There is always someone who can solve it, and there is always someone who can't. Those who can't solve the difficulties are the ones who are eliminated, so don't care. ”
"But there is also the saying that I have met a nobleman. If in a difficult time, a noble person appears and pulls him, maybe it is a bright flower. ”
"Strong words. ”
"I think you just can't figure out the situation," Ning Meng suddenly thought of something, and said: "I think that Heavenly Palace is not punishing you by letting you help people realize their wishes in the Worry Relief House, but like educating you." ”
"Educate me?"
"Yes, let me understand the suffering of the human world, and understand that the reason why people can exist for a long time is because of their quality of helping others and helping each other. ”
Mingxi sneered: "Helping others, helping each other, what I see is fighting and hurting." War is the most direct manifestation of this. ”
"Animals fight each other over territory, and wars are normal. ”
"You also said that animals fight with each other, and after all, aren't humans still one of the most ignorant animal groups?"
"Then you and Chiyan are still fighting, and you are ignorant?"
