3- The self-esteem and pride of genius
"No, what the hell is going on without a guardian?!!!"
It is only natural that the old man in the dress and the old man with the scar will be surprised.
In this world, there are only children who have lost their parents, no one to take care of them, and even orphanages, but can still live in a good society without being on the streets or starving to death.
First of all, the cost of living is a problem!
In principle, children simply do not have the ability to go to work, whether it is mental, skill, or physical, theoretically they should not have the ability to be self-reliant. There is always a time when the parents' inheritance will run out, not to mention the possibility of children mismanaging their funds and being cheated out of money by people with bad intentions.
Judging from what Yakumo Azusa said, it was at least a few years ago that her parents died
Although the skirt she wore was plain, it was by no means some old clothes that had been torn and mended
not only dragged a younger brother to live, but even had the spare energy to help his younger brother buy birthday gifts
Is this really possible?
"In the past few years, I have been living with my friends and younger brother, and the living expenses are all earned by me and my friends, and now I am on the way home from work, but I just deliberately came here to buy a birthday gift, and by the way, my friend also died of both parents very early, and now he is the same age as me, is there any problem?"
The doubts of the two old men were written on their faces at all, but they hadn't asked yet.
To see through what the two old men were thinking, it was not difficult for Yakumo Azusa to tell them the truth, the question was whether to tell them the truth.
If necessary, it is naturally useless. However, if the other person is not like someone who will harm you, then it is okay to say it.
Now I am no longer the child who ventured to work at the age of seven. Although the age of twelve years is still one year different from the legal age, but only this little difference, in the case of special circumstances, everyone will turn a blind eye.
After thinking about it for a while, in the end, Yakumo Zi truthfully told the two old men who didn't look like bad people about the matter, and then it was natural that the two old men sighed.
"Even the old man doesn't know that this country has reached a serious situation where even children have to go out to work to make ends meet?"
"Humph! The current president is a soft egg who has no opinion on anything. As for the guys in the Congress, they either don't talk about it, or they only know how to care about the immediate interests Since that person died of illness, it is preferable to the young man surnamed Simon, but unfortunately it is only a few, and I have never trusted them at all! Children are supposed to be taken care of, and this is the case, and the dereliction of duty of those guys is ironclad evidence, right?"
In his voice, he made no secret of his indignation at Congress. The old man with Scar slowly stood up, and when his eyes fell on Yakumo Zi's body again, he was already full of pity and love, "It's a pity that such a likable child has the ability to be self-reliant and the sense of responsibility to take care of his younger brother at a young age, so amazing, if the old man I don't live in such a dangerous place, I really don't mind adopting a few children."
"Anyway, the old man also suddenly remembered" Suddenly interrupted the old man with the scar, and the old man in the dress said in a deep voice, "After that guy Nangong retired, didn't he live near here?"
"Ah, that's true! Well, I see what you mean. After glancing at the old man in the dress, he already knew what the other party wanted to say, and the old man with Scar turned around and patted Yakumo Zi's shoulder and asked, "Little girl." If it's just an if, old man, I know an old friend near here who has been friends for many years. That guy is very rich, all in all, he has to raise four or five people at the same time, and he is also very idle, basically in addition to meditation every day, he probably only meditates and then, and more importantly, although the old guy is a little rigid and stubborn, but the old man I can 100% guarantee that he is a very good person. If such a person were willing to adopt you, would you take your friends and brother with you?"
“”
The eyes of the old man with the scar are incomparably clear eyes that do not contain any impurities.
It is not difficult to see that every word that this old man said was from the bottom of his heart, wanting to help the three of them.
It's all about meeting each other, but it's just a relationship that meets on the street by chance. It's not an exaggeration to be able to be enthusiastic about a strange child to this point or something, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a bad person, right?
It's a pity that it is precisely because of this that I have to refuse.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be able to accept such an offer, right?"
Old Man Scar's suggestion, without a doubt, was very attractive to Yakumo Azusa.
Unconditional adoption by a wealthy old man means that from now on, the cost of living will no longer be an issue at all. It can be said that it would not be a problem for her and Ruoxiwan to quit their current jobs even immediately.
There is no need to live this kind of life anymore, from morning to night, only at night before eating and going to bed, to see the life of the baby brother and the important Ji friend From now on, you can live again When you first meet the baby brother, that kind of carefree life has fallen from the sky such a big pie, shouldn't you quickly nod and agree?
The answer is no.
"Although I am very grateful to you, old uncle, for giving me such an opportunity, on the premise of having the ability to live in this society, for me and my friends, this opportunity is not necessary. I don't think we'll be able to deal with what we can handle on our own, right?"
It is impossible to go back and go all over again.
If, the incident of meeting the old man with the scar, and the old man of the scar made this suggestion, happened more than five years ago, that is, before he and Ji You went out to look for a job, then, in order to be able to keep the time to get together with the people he likes the most, here, Yakumo Azusa may really succumb to his desires and nod his head in agreement.
But now, more than five years later.
came out to work, unconsciously, for more than five years, from worrying about whether he would find a job, to worrying about whether Ji Yuehua could take care of himself when both of them went out to work, and now whether it is she, Ruoxiwan, or Ji Yuehua herself have proved that it is no problem to continue to live together.
Resisting adversity so far, I have been gritting my teeth and struggling with reality, even doing what ordinary people thought was impossible. With the strength of only three children, she lived smoothly without relying on the handouts of others, and only now at this moment did she tell her that there was a chance to get something for nothing?
If you agree, what is the effort and pain you have endured in the past five years?
Intellectually speaking, if you suddenly have a long opportunity to relax after hard work, it is likely that you will indulge in it and want to stand up again, which is not so easy. So, from a realistic point of view and long-term future considerations
No, in fact, even Yakumo Azusa himself knows very well that rational analysis or something is just an excuse.
In the final analysis, in terms of self-esteem, she would never allow herself to accept such a favor suddenly!! Even if it is not treacherous, it is simply a favor from zeal that it will never be accepted!
At this point, whether it is her or Ruoxiwan, there will only be such an answer!!
