Chapter 22 The sound of rain

As I spoke, the expression of the proprietress of the foot bath shop froze, and I felt my fingers tighten, and I glanced at it, but saw that Jasmine was looking at me nervously, and then, turning my gaze slightly, I saw that the two bewitching women sitting on the sofa on the side were also looking at me with stunned eyes.

When he said this, the air in the entire foot bath shop froze and did not move.

"You're going to ...... Raise her, raise this child?" the proprietress of the foot bath shop looked at me dumbfounded, as if she couldn't believe it. "Are you serious?"

"Hmm...... I'm serious, I guess. I looked at the nervous Jasmine who lived in me, and said, "I'll ask if you have any opinion if I adopt her?"

My words seemed to shock the proprietress of the foot bath shop too much, she didn't react for a long time, she looked at me, and then at Xiao Jasmine, and hesitated for a long time before she squeezed out the words from her mouth:

"Opinion...... me. I'm afraid I can have any opinions...... That's for the best. The face of the proprietress of the foot bath shop gradually calmed down, "However, you look quite young, adopt...... No problem, right? Your age, the Ministry of Civil Affairs should not be able to pass. ”

"If it's a private adoption, it's okay without applying for it from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, right?" I said to the proprietress of the foot bath shop.

The proprietress frowned her thick black eyebrows, squeezed her eyes, and said, "Then it's up to you." As long as you can afford it, and you can afford to take responsibility when the time comes. It's better for me that you do that, and having someone adopt saves me from running to an orphanage. ”

Listening to the words of the proprietress of the foot bath shop, I really felt a little desolate. The human heart...... It's really cold and ruthless. Anyway, Jasmine is still a child. The woman in front of me never thought about what kind of shadow she would cause to her child. After a long period of contact with people like the proprietress of a foot bath shop, it is no wonder that Jasmine has become such a character.

However, perhaps for those who do this business, children are inherently superfluous burdens.

"And that's it?" I looked at the lady of the foot bath shop for the last time, but my mood was a little irrepressibly excited.

Adopt a child...... How simple is that?

I felt a little stunned and incredulous, just a few words, we easily decided the future of a child?

I looked at the proprietress of the foot bath shop and calmed my heart.

"Then this child always has a birth certificate, a health certificate, a household registration book, or something, right?" I said unnaturally.

As soon as I said this, the proprietress of the foot bath shop immediately turned her head and said to a woman in a pink coat sitting on the sofa, "Jingjing, go and get the box under the storage cabinet on the third floor." ”

At the urging of the proprietress Dao, the bewitching woman who was playing with her mobile phone glanced at me with her eyes, and then went upstairs without saying a word.

After about a minute, I heard heavy footsteps, and then I saw the woman in pink walking down a handrail staircase from a footbath shop with a battered brown suitcase.

Without saying a word, the woman placed the suitcase in front of me, and the proprietress came up and opened the suitcase.

The suitcase opened, and I saw a stack of children's clothes that weren't very clean, and then I saw a yellow plastic bag that seemed to have some small notebooks and other documents inside.

"Birth Certificate, Health Certificate...... Well, it's all here. The lady of the foot bath shop said to me.

I took out my birth certificate from the alley, looked at it, and found that Jasmine's birthplace was in Fuyang, Anhui Province.

"That's all, nothing else?" I looked up and asked the lady of the foot bath shop after reading the birth certificate.

"There is also the passbook of the Agricultural Bank, which was left by her mother, I don't know the password, and I haven't touched it. However, with a drug-addicted woman like Shen Jiao, it is estimated that there is not much money in it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to pay the rent. With that, the proprietress took out a green agricultural silver card from behind the counter and handed it to me. "There's not much else left. Originally, her mother still had some furniture in the rented apartment, and the furniture was basically used by the landlord to replace the rent. I sold the TV and the refrigerator on my back, which is considered to fill in the funeral expenses. ”

"Furniture...... Sold them all?"

"yes. It's all sold to the collector of waste furniture, and it was sold for thousands of yuan, that is, the cost of the funeral was filled, and there was still a few thousand shorts, or I paid for it. What a woman who is annoying even if she dies. ”

"What about this child's household register?"

"That thing is not with me either, I guess it was from the landlord, I guess it was put in a cabinet and she took it. ”

The "......" household registration book is not there. I was silent, and casually glanced at Jasmine, and saw that the crazy girl's eyes were full of resentment.

Retracting my gaze, I asked Jasmine's mother about who she was when she was alive, but from the mouth of the proprietress of the foot bath shop, I knew that Jasmine's mother was a very unpopular person, she was very good at pretending, and she was also very mean and scheming, so she never had many friends. The man despises her profession and no one associates with her, the woman keeps her distance because of personality problems, and in general, Jasmine's mother is almost a woman who is isolated from society, and she has always been dependent on her daughter Jasmine, with little contact with outsiders.

Ever since I found out that I was going to adopt Jasmine, the attitude of the lady of the foot bath shop towards me was quite average, at least not as unkind as it was at first.

After she told me about Jasmine's mother, I didn't have anything in common to talk to her.

It wasn't until a short and chubby young man walked in outside the foot bath shop that my conversation with the proprietress of the foot bath shop finally came to an end. Seeing that a guest was coming, the proprietress made a look, and a mature woman in a white coat sitting on the sofa immediately stepped forward to pick up the guest.

"Then I'll take this kid away. I'll get the household register. I looked at the guests who walked in, and then I said to the proprietress of the foot bath shop.

"Do you really want to raise her?" asked me again.

"Yes. It's true. ”

"Since you really want to adopt, then you can take it. Looks like this kid has a lot of trust in you. She usually looks at us with white eyes, and I really don't know how this kid could suddenly be so close to you. ”

"No. The boy had a surprisingly big temper, and I was shocked when he came to my house. But seeing that she was pitiful, I adopted her. My wife and I want a daughter anyway. I lied casually. It seems that the proprietress of the foot bath shop still doesn't know that Jasmine is the illegitimate daughter of my father born outside, so at least I'm not ashamed.

"Oh. How old are you?"

"34 too. I thought for a moment and replied.

"Yes. It doesn't look that big, I think you can see it at the age of 25 or 6. "The proprietress said something that I rather listened to, of course, this does not mean that my attitude towards her can be much better.

"Hehe," I smiled symbolically, and then said to the proprietress of the foot bath shop, "Oh, by the way, I have one more question for you, where is this child's mother?"

"The public offering over there in the stone wholesale yard. This kid has also been there, and he should have an impression, so you can ask him and take her to see it. The proprietress of the foot bath shop said.

I nodded knowingly, and then, picking up the relics that Jasmine's mother had left for Jasmine, I turned around, pulled Jasmine, winked at her, and walked to the door of the foot bath shop.

However, I had just taken two steps when I heard the warning voice of the proprietress of the foot bath shop behind me.

"If you really want to raise this child, be careful. This kid ...... It's not like any other kid. She is very vindictive, very stubborn, and does things ...... It's crazy too. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, I stopped and turned my head with some curiosity, only to see the proprietress of the foot bath shop looking at me with a complicated face.

"A few days ago, she punctured all the condoms in my store. The proprietress of the foot bath shop seemed to think about it before telling me about it, "and burned my underwear ......."

"Because that underwear is my mother's!" Jasmine, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke up after hearing this. The lady and I turned our heads in surprise at the same time, only to see Jasmine looking at the lady with deep resentment.

was shouted by Jasmine, and the proprietress of the foot bath shop was also a little embarrassed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's my mother, you think it looks good, and wear it, when I don't know, old woman!" said the Jasmine man, tearing her voice open.

These words ignited the proprietress like gunpowder, and the proprietress distorted her whole face with anger, and she stared at Jasmine with extremely terrifying eyes, and said:

"What's the matter? She didn't borrow her money from me?, where did she get the money without me?!"

"Shameless!

"You're talking about it again!?"

Two women, one big and one small, actually have a tendency to quarrel like this, which surprised me a little.

"Alright! don't make any noise!" I stopped the two men, and then, I looked down at Jasmine

"What did I tell you?

"You told me that you are not allowed to use foul language at home!" Jasmine blushed, and she actually argued with me.

"Not outside, or I'll send you to an orphanage!" I glared at her.

At this moment, Jasmine still withered, her eyes were red, her face was full of resentment, and then she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

"We're leaving!"

I took Jasmine's hand and walked directly to the outside of the foot bath shop, Jasmine couldn't twist me, so I could only hold my hand and lead me out of the foot bath shop.

On the way out of the foot bath shop, Jasmine and I didn't speak, and after a while, I got in the car, opened the door, and went straight inside, while Jasmine opened the passenger door but didn't get into the car.

"Get in the car. I urged Jasmine, who was still standing outside the car door.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as I finished speaking, Jasmine suddenly picked up a rock from the ground, then turned around and ran back to the foot bath shop, and then ...... She raised her little hand and slammed the stone in her hand towards the door of the foot bath shop.

The stone made a beautiful arc in the air, snapped, and smashed impartially against the glass door of the foot bath shop.

Whoa!

The glass door shattered and turned into countless fragments, like a splash of water in the rain.

The glass door of the foot bath shop was smashed to pieces by Jasmine!

"Die!" Jasmine yelled at the door of the foot bath shop, then quickly ran back and got into my car, slamming the door shut.

"Quick, quick, ......quick," Jasmine urged me anxiously, her little face full of nervousness.

"I'm going to die, come back for me!" came the screams of the lady of the foot bath shop.

I squinted a little, through the car window, I saw the proprietress of the foot bath shop chasing out angrily, my heart tightened, I started the car directly, and flew out with the car, leaving only the proprietress of the foot bath shop still standing at the door watching me and Jasmine scolding in the distance.
