Chapter 15: The Kind Lady (1)
"Outside the nickname, a sick child of the Green Leaf Society died mysteriously, and the police opened a case for investigation."
"One angel and one devil, Cai Guozhen, the head of the Green Leaf Club, was taken away by the police last night."
The crisp voice of the newsboy knocked on the stone roads of the streets and alleys, leaving a clear sound, many people in the market have not donated money to the Green Leaf Club, but they also know the name Cai Guozhen, because many tabloids have touted her as the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and saves the suffering, and is a female fighter in Shanghai, specializing in fighting with those parents who are vicious and have no conscience and money and don't care about their children, how can such a good person, the children in her institution die? Or a mysterious death? I heard that the rest of the children are still hungry.
This overwhelming news soon swept through the entire city.
At breakfast, Ms. Wu angrily threw the newspaper on the ground and scolded: "Are these reporters dogs? After raising them for so long, why did others give them a bone and wagged their tails and pounced on them, in vain Miss Cai spent so much money on them in the past. ”
Her daughter was only sixteen years old, just the delicate age of Ruhua, she was startled by her sudden frenzy, looked at her expression, and said cautiously: "Mom, I have read the newspaper, saying that the child died in the angel courtyard for some reason, or several, this thing is a little wrong, since she promised to take good care of those children, she has to do her best, how can she send someone to bury the child secretly after he dies." ”
"What do you know?"
Ms. Wu shouted, and when she saw her daughter trembling with fright, she hurriedly suppressed her voice, gently patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "Ying'er, you don't understand these things, you just need to study hard, and your mother will send you to Cambridge to study in the future." ”
Wu Ying'er looked at her white palms and said in a low voice: "That will be very expensive, how can we have so much money." ”
"Don't worry about the money, my mother has been ...... over the years"
Wu Ying'er thought of the question in the newspaper and asked, "What's missing?" Mom, you tell you the truth, have you ever done it like Miss Cai......"
"Okay, Ying'er, listen to your mother, don't worry about these things, you're still young." Ms. Wu is a single mother, and her husband abandoned them when her daughter was only three years old, and she has been dependent on her daughter for all these years, demanding strict with her daughter, and trying to raise her to be a lady of high society. Wu Yinger is indeed working hard in the direction she hopes, she is smart, beautiful and kind, very good to the children that Ms. Wu helps in the institution, she does not know the suffering of the world, she thinks that life as long as there is love, love will affect everything.
Wu Ying'er looked at the furnishings in her living room, twisted her hands together, and finally asked with great determination: "Mom, I remember that we were very poor in the past, and Dad didn't have much money, and he took all the things he had when he left." ”
"Yes, we were really hard in those years, but fortunately we have survived it now, look at us now, you have other people's children, and mothers who don't have them are also working hard for you."
Ms. Wu thought of her struggle for more than ten years and showed a proud look.
"But Mom, aren't you charitable? Why is our family so rich? ”
The daughter mustered up the courage to speak out.
Ms. Wu's heart tightened, her daughter can already think independently, which is a good thing, but ...... How can this be explained? Why is it that a philanthropic person who goes around encouraging others to donate money has money? I can send my daughter to Cambridge to study without hesitation, I can live in a big house, and let my daughter go to a Chinese and Western girls' school to receive the best education, what is the reason for all this?
"Ying'er, it's time for you to go to school, I'll let Lao Huang send you."
Wu Ying'er lowered her head, it turned out that what Ah Si said was true. Ah Si is her boyfriend, he has stopped studying for a long time, he works on the dock, he is very handsome, he is very pleasing to girls, they have been secretly dating for a year, Ms. Wu wants to train her daughter to be a lady in high society, but she is too busy every day, and she doesn't know that on a rainy day a year ago, her daughter inadvertently saved the gangster Ah Si, and since then she has started a bad relationship.
The day before yesterday, Ah Si asked her that her mother was a charity, and she heard that she was also a poor person in the past, why she could still afford to go to a good school and have a car to pick her up.
Wu Ying'er was very angry at the time: "What do you mean? Did my mom embezzle that money? ”
Ah Si hurriedly coaxed her: "Hey, I'm just curious to ask, Miss, don't be angry, it's all my fault." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed her hand and gently slapped it on his face, and the two of them laughed again.
Ah Si looked at the humble door, sighed and said, "You are the eldest lady, I am a poor gang, and I don't know what the future will ......."
"Don't worry, my mother is a very kind person, she is really trying to help others, and treats those poor children equally, I think she will be able to understand us."
Wu Ying'er is really a kind girl, the place where Ah Si rents is dirty and cold, she never dislikes it, and tries to help Ah Si live a better life, hand over all the private money she has accumulated to him, and let Ah Si do some small business, don't mess around in the gang.
"Hahaha, she actually told me to go to night school? Night school, why don't we buddies go for supper? Behind the scenes, Ah Si and the little brothers made jokes about it.
Those little brothers also laughed, and some people squeezed their eyebrows: "Ah Si, how does the eldest lady feel." ”
"Women, the lights are not all the same when they are turned off, but this eldest lady is cleaner than those outside."
When Ah Si said this, there was an ambiguous smile on his face, and someone pushed him with his elbow, saying don't swallow it alone, everyone is a brother, it is better to taste it in one bite.
Ah Si smiled, and didn't say yes or no.
Wu Ying'er read Ah Si's question in her heart, got up early to read the newspaper, and some reporters suspected that Cai Guozhen was full of private money, kept the donation for herself, and did not use it for the treatment of sick children, resulting in the death of sick children in the angel hospital, and other sick children were thin and skinny.
Wu Ying'er lowered her head, feeling very uncomfortable, she was a kind girl, she was too well protected by Ms. Wu, thinking that love could tolerate everything and change everything, but now she suddenly found that the great love in the world that her mother kept saying was probably not like that.
She lied to the driver Lao Huang that there were still activities at school, and asked him to come to school at eight o'clock to pick him up, carried her schoolbag through the narrow alley, lowered her head and carefully walked under the "national flags" of those colorful houses on the bamboo poles in the alley, and turned around to Ah Si's rented place.
She pushed the door in as usual, but saw a tall man standing in the room, the man was dressed in a long robe, nodded when he saw her come in, and asked, "You are Wu Ying'er?" ”
Ying'er nodded: "Are you Ah Si's friend?" ”
"No, I'm his creditor, and he probably ran away because he was afraid of collecting his debts."
Ying'er was stunned for a moment, and retorted loudly: "No, Ah Si is not such a person, he promised me that he would learn to do a small business and make money well." ”
"Hehe, Miss Wu Ying'er, you don't know much about the gangsters, how can the promise in bed be true? As soon as you get on the gambling table, you can sell your mother, and you have long forgotten to go to Java if you promised you. ”
The man smiled: "But he is not particularly bad, and he did not sell you." ”
Wu Ying'er's face turned red and asked loudly, "How much does he owe you?" ”
The man said a number, Wu Ying'er lowered her head, it was indeed a lot of money, and she couldn't afford it.
Did Ah Si just run away like this? So what do I do?
Wu Ying'er's hand couldn't help but reach out to her lower abdomen.
The man blinked: "Miss, do you have a stomachache?" ”
