Chapter 24: The Butterfly Effect

"Uncle, no, no, you don't have to pay...... It's summer vacation and I know a lot of herbs. I can go to the mountains to dig herbs, and it won't affect my studies at all. ”

I said that I wanted to help Cao Fengnian, but the final result turned out to be to let my brother's life-saving benefactor pay for it?

As a result, for a while, Rao lived two lives, and Ji Beibei, who thought that he was a lot thicker-skinned, felt embarrassed and a little annoyed that his mouth was getting faster.

She blushed and waved her hand.

"It's just as I say." Mu Chen didn't allow her to question it, so he decided directly.

"Uncle, I really don't need to." Ji Beibei was about to cry urgently, "We are backed by the mountains and the sea, whether it is digging herbs or picking mushrooms or something up the mountain, or going to the sea to make money easily." ”

Sure enough, it was the children of the poor who were in charge of the family early, and they knew how to make money to reduce the burden on the family at such a young age.

Ji Beibei's words made Mu Chen feel a burst of emotion in his heart.

There is no one who does not like sensible children. Especially the little girl in front of her, who is both sensible and kind, and is extremely similar to her own little daughter who died early in some aspects, makes Mu Chen's favor double.

He said to Ji Beibei with appreciation: "In addition to you, don't you have a younger brother in your family?" In the future, if you both study and go to university, the burden on your parents will be very heavy. Although you can take advantage of the summer vacation to earn some money to subsidize them, it can reduce the burden on them, but it is still not easy to raise an extra child and provide for an extra child who still needs to spend money to go to the provincial capital to see a doctor. ”

After speaking, he gestured to Cao Chuan with his eyes, Cao Chuan understood, and also persuaded Ji Beibei: "That's it." Anyway, it's all about doing good deeds, and it's not the same who comes. Alas, anyway, as long as the purpose is achieved, it will become, right? ”

Him: "And you think, no matter how easy it is to make money, there must be a time process." Have you thought about it, the more time drags on, the more Cao Fengnian will suffer at the hands of his grandparents for one more day? ”

"That's right. If you tell your parents about it, there will inevitably be a process of persuasion. And with the method I'm talking about, it must be faster and easier for your parents to accept it. ”

Mu Chen made persistent efforts to persuade Ji Beibei on the side.

"Although you are right, it is not difficult to make money here. But no matter how easy this money is, every cent is hard money. With your siblings and possibly other children, the burden on your parents is already heavy enough, and adding another burden on your parents will increase by more than one point, can you bear to make them work harder? ”

Yes, that's true, but --

Ji Beibei sighed silently for the hundredth time in his heart, and made a final struggle: "However, if you let your uncle bear Cao Fengnian's study and living expenses, won't it also cause you a burden?" ”

"Speaking of which, that's what you're worried about?"

Mu Chen chuckled after seeing Ji Beibei nodding: "Don't worry, my salary and allowance are not low, my lover also has a salary, and the elderly in the family also have a salary that we don't need to afford." It doesn't cost money for a child to go to a military school. So sponsoring a Cao Fengnian is not a burden for me. ”

He smiled slightly to stop Ji Beibei, who was about to speak: "I really don't have much time left to stay, so we really can't continue to delay the time to discuss this." I understand what you think. But you should know that adopting a child like Cao Fengnian requires not only money, but also energy. Isn't it just right for us to cooperate, one to contribute, and one to contribute? ”

Saying that, he turned his head to Cao Chuan on the side and said, "When you go to the village secretary later, by the way, I will tell him again that I want to fund the Lin family to adopt Cao Fengnian." Later, I asked him to bring Cao Fengnian's grandparents together, and everyone sat down together to write a formal adoption document. Anyway, before I leave, we can take care of these two things together, and we'll be all done. ”

"No problem." In the army for more than ten years, Cao Chuan has long developed the habit of acting vigorously and resolutely, and when he heard the words, he immediately took the door and pulled his legs to leave.

"Wait--"

Touching the pocket of the military uniform, Mu Chen suddenly stopped Cao Chuan again: "I'm afraid the cash on me is not enough." So, take 500 dollars and lend it to me, and I'll pay you back when I get back." ”

"Well, but even if I make a contribution to the five hundred, don't send it to me again." Cao Chuan nodded briskly, dropped the words and turned around and opened the door and walked inside.

Mu Chen nodded: "It's okay if I don't send you the money back, but you have to report on the job you found for you when the time comes, and you can't continue to stay here doing nothing." Cao Chuan, you said that so much time has passed, what else can't you think of? Are you also frightened and sick like a child, and I have to use extraordinary means to get you to the hospital and call a doctor to see if there is any illness? ”

Cao Chuan staggered, turned his head to look at Mu Chen in fright, and then roared: "I'm not sick." I didn't think about it, and I wasn't frightened to see any doctor? ”

"Are you sure?" Mu Chen looked at him playfully, with a hint of resoluteness in his eyes that made Cao Chuan afraid, "Then you don't do anything these days, just stay at the door and don't go out of the second door because you want to hide and hatch eggs?" ”

“...... I ......"

Cao Chuan couldn't help but look at Mu Chen a little franticly, and a little irritably.

But when Mu Chen knew it, Ji Beibei's eyes widened because of curiosity, and he quickly became depressed again.

There was a pleading in his tone: "I'm finally back, I don't want to leave here now...... Mu Chen, don't force me, let's not talk about this first, okay? ”

"Nope." Mu Chen shook his head, "I've already given you enough time, if I can't convince you today, who knows if I will have time to come back in the future?" ”

"......" Cao Chuan's eyes showed a struggle.

Sighing, Mu Chen: "You see, even a little girl knows how to help her friends." We've been friends for more than ten years, and you let me just let you go, do you think it's possible? Cao Chuan, you just think this is to make me feel at ease, okay? ”

“...... Yes...... I promise you. After all, Mu Chen's last sentence completely moved Cao Chuan. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and finally forced himself to nod.

"Good brother." I knew you could get out.

Mu Chen immediately smiled happily, and the heart that had been hanging was completely relaxed. Then he quickly greeted Ji Beibei, who was already a little stupid, and followed Ji Beibei away quickly for fear that Cao Chuan would regret it.

Did Cao Chuan promise to leave the village?

Will he really leave in the end? Or, in fact, in the end, he temporarily regretted it, and then stayed in the village for the rest of his life like in the previous life?

When leading Mu Chen all the way to his house, Ji Beibei couldn't help but think about this question repeatedly in his mind-

It was her rebirth that caused the famous butterfly effect, so it was not only her who would change her fate in this life, but Cao Fengnian and Lin Chunbao...... Will it be one Cao Chuan, or even countless Cao Chuan, who will be affected, and then the trajectory of fate will change invisibly?
