Weekend.

Ye Rou went out.

She's looking for a job, but she doesn't know much about getting around, and since she moved here, all she knows is the way to school, not what's nearby.

Seeing that a dumpling shop had a note for recruitment, Ye Rou walked in directly.

"Hello Miss, let's sit inside."

"That...... I'm not here to eat dumplings, are you still looking for people here? Ye Rou asked timidly.

"Recruitment?" The man looked Ye Rou up and down and scratched his head: "How old are you this year?" ”

"Twelve...... No, I'm thirteen! Ye Rou said.

"Miss, you're too young for us to hire you." The man smiled and refused.

"Okay."

Then Ye Rou asked several shops, all of which were rejected because of their age.

Eventually, she came to a grocery store in the corner, and looking at the store, she hesitated not to enter.

"Little sister, do you want to buy anything?" The store manager was a greasy middle-aged man, and after seeing Ye Rou, he smiled and swept his gaze from her feet to her face, and finally stopped on her chest and asked.

"So, that, do you have a job to recruit people in your store?" Ye Rou asked.

"Recruitment?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly: "Zhao, my store is just short of people, and I want to recruit some part-time students with high salaries, do you want to come?" ”

Hearing the words high salary, Ye Rou's eyes lit up and pointed at herself: "But I'm only twelve years old, is it okay?" ”

"Yes, of course at twelve, as long as you're diligent enough."

"Good!"

Ye Yi looked at the middle-aged man, and his eyes gradually became cold.

Then Ye Rou seemed to remember something, and asked, "That boss, do you need my ID card or something?" ”

"No, no, I'm private, I don't need to sign anything, and it's convenient for me to give you money." The middle-aged man smiled and shook his hand.

"That's great." After all, the ID card was kept by her brother, and Ye Rou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After making an appointment for work, Ye Rou happily returned home.

She looked at Ye Yi in the room, planning to hide the secret and surprise her brother when she earned the money!

Following.

"I just saw that the credit card money is not a penny, did you not have lunch?" Ye Yi looked at his sister and asked lightly.

"Ah...... Because I still have some money, I don't rush to spend the money in the card. Ye Rou said.

'Ye Yi' continued to eat breakfast, which was regarded as accepting Ye Rou's explanation.

After seeing her brother go back to the room, Ye Rou went to school with a schoolbag on her back and brisk steps.

School.

Bai Chu saw that the expression on Ye Rou's face was much more relaxed than yesterday, and couldn't help but smile but didn't ask anything.

During the lunch break, Ye Rou bought a little something, which was regarded as adding a little consumption record to the credit card to avoid being suspected by her brother.

After school in the afternoon, Ye Rou continued to pick up bottles along the road and went home, picking them up all the way back It was just dark.

"Hey, little girl, give me the bag in your hand."

At this time, the two old men stopped Ye Rou and said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Ye Rou took a step back and looked at the two old men with a blank expression.

"Don't you know that the scavengers in this area have been covered by us, I said why I haven't picked up anything recently, it turns out that you picked it up." One of the old men said.

"Packed?" Seeing the vicious eyes of the two old men, Ye Rou shook her head although she was afraid: "But these are all ...... I picked up."

"You're stealing!" Another old man went directly to grab Ye Rou's bag, but was dodged.

Ye Rou turned around and ran, but was grabbed by the old man's arm.

"You still dare to run?!" Another old man slammed Ye Rou's head.

Ye Rou raised her head and looked at the passers-by with a pleading look.

A few passers-by wanted to help, but after seeing the two old men, they hesitated, or pretended not to see and left.

"Look at it, this is my granddaughter!" One of the old men glared at the passers-by.

"I've been picking it up for hours, I can't give it to you." Ye Rou still clutched the bag and didn't let go.

"You're still against you?!"

An old man directly grabbed Ye Rou's hair and pulled it hard: "Do you want to give it?!" ”

"Eh, Lao Zhang, don't be like this, it seems that some mechanical police have been invented recently, it would be bad if you attracted them."

"Bad luck." Another old man snatched the bag while Ye Rou was speechless in pain, and after spitting at her, he turned around and left quickly.

Ye Rou knelt on the ground.

Looking at the indifferent faces of those passers-by in the distance, her eyes were full of confusion, why are others unwilling to help her, obviously they are wrong......

Doesn't it mean that there are many well-wishers in this world?

Why?

She stayed where she was for a moment, completely confused, and then walked briskly towards her house with her head down.

……

"What's the matter with your clothes?"

As soon as Ye Rou got home, he happened to see his brother drinking water in the living room, and he frowned slightly when he saw her messy clothes.

"No, it's fine."

Ye Rou hid her hands behind her without a trace and lowered her head.

"Give me your hand."

'Ye Yi' noticed that something was wrong with Ye Rou, and pulled her hand out, and after seeing that it was dirty and a little smelly, his eyes were slightly cold: "Why did you go?" ”

"I accidentally fell ......"

"What happens when you fall?"

Ye Rou is not good at lying, but she still told what happened, and directly angered 'Ye Yi': "I said that I don't need you to make money, are you deaf?!! ”

"I, I see that my brother is working so hard, so I want to help you......"

"No...... Forget it, whatever you want, how do you like it! 'Ye Yi' said angrily, and rushed directly into his room and slammed the door: "I won't care about you in the future!" ”

"Brother, I was wrong, don't do this."

Ye Rou didn't cry when she was bullied just now, and when she heard Ye Yi say this, tears suddenly fell:

"I was really wrong, I'm never going to pick up bottles again......"

"Don't ignore me......"

But Ye Yi still ignored Ye Rou, whenever Ye Rou wanted to speak, Ye Yi walked by as if he didn't see her.

And so it went on for days.

Ye Rou didn't pick up the bottle again, but she still came to the grocery store, she was scared, she was afraid that her brother would ignore her, so she wanted to tell the store manager that she was gone.

The middle-aged man showed an unhappy expression: "It's not good for you to be like this, I'm ready to prepare, I'm going to quit if I don't go to work for a day, when I'm having fun?" ”

"I'm sorry, my brother seems to be angry that I make money, so I can't make him angry......" Ye Rou's face was full of apologies.

"Forget it, okay." The middle-aged man sighed: "You come with me, I'll give you a letter of resignation, you are a formal resignation, and you still have to fill it in." ”

"Oh...... Where to? Ye Rou didn't understand this, and asked curiously.

"On the second floor of this store, just come with me, I don't want to make another trip." The middle-aged man looked impatient, and then walked up the stairs.

Ye Rou hesitated for a moment and followed.

Walking into a room, Ye Rou found that it was dark inside, and when she was about to ask how to turn on the light, she suddenly heard the sound of the door lock.

Ye Rou was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she found that she was pushed to the ground!
