Chapter 11 Live for Yourself
Turning around, He Mu didn't go to the Red Mist Alliance again, but changed direction and walked towards Nancheng Junior High School.
It's the middle of July, the middle school students have just had a vacation, and there is no one in the school, but if you find the principal, you may be able to know Lin Wei's specific situation, no matter how bad it is, you can also inquire about her contact information.
......
An hour later.
He Mu came to a community near the school.
The principal of Nancheng Junior High School is named Shen Lan, and she is also a well-known person in this neighborhood, and after a little inquiry, he learned that her home is in this community.
After some searching, He Mu came to Room 306 of Building 1 of a certain unit and knocked lightly on the door.
It wasn't long before an old lady with gray hair, glasses, and a wrinkled face opened the door.
"You are?"
The old lady glanced at He Mu through the crack in the door, her eyes full of questions.
"You are Principal Shen Lan, I want to ask you something about Lin Wei, I heard that she used to be a teacher in Nancheng Junior High School. ”
He Mu said very politely.
Who would have thought that hearing this, Shen Lan's gaze actually became vigilant.
Seeing this, He Mu's heart suddenly changed, and he hurriedly added: "Principal Shen, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I'll ask a few questions and leave, just ask at this door." ”
Hearing this, Shen Lan looked He Mu up and down again, and then completely opened the door, and said very calmly:
"I've seen too many young people, you don't look like a bad person, come in. ”
He Mu breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously followed the old lady into the house.
"Sit down, first tell me why you want to inquire about Lin Wei's news?"
The old lady pointed to the sofa, her attitude a little indifferent.
He Mu sat down lightly, sorted out the wording in his heart, and then replied gloomily: "I was entrusted by someone to tell Lin Wei an important news in person. ”
The old lady shook her head when she heard this, and there was a sharpness in her eyes that saw everything.
"Lin Wei's parents asked you to find out her contact information, right?"
He Mu was stunned on the spot when he heard this.
Where is this?
After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly said, "No, Principal Shen, why can't I understand what you are saying? Could it be that Lin Wei and her parents can't contact Lin Wei?"
The old lady didn't answer, but just looked directly into He Mu's eyes, as if she wanted to see through He Mu's heart.
He Mu didn't dodge, his eyes were full of sincerity, and after a while, the old lady's expression finally eased.
"It seems that you have nothing to do with her parents, but I am too careful. ”
Speaking of this, the old lady laughed to herself.
"Alas, her parents resolutely refused to let her go to Lingzhou City, and even came to me to make trouble for this, so I was a little too vigilant. ”
"Then there's no need to make a fuss to the point where you don't have any contact information, right?"
He Mu was very puzzled.
The old lady shook her head again.
"You don't know, her parents are gamblers, and they usually don't care about their families, and they still use her as a cash cow...... In fact, she left her contact information at the beginning, but she couldn't afford dozens or hundreds of calls a day, so she changed her number. ”
"Huh?"
He Muzhen didn't expect that Lin Wei's family would be in such a situation.
The old lady over there seemed to hold back a lot of words in her heart, and after making sure that He Mu and Lin Wei's parents had nothing to do with each other, the conversation box opened up all of a sudden.
"Lin Wei, this child used to be my student, he was very sensible, his grades were among the best from childhood to adulthood, not to mention the tuition fee, and he also won a lot of various scholarships.
It's a pity that she has no talent in science, so she can only study literature.
Later, because I couldn't worry about my parents and younger brother, I chose to go to Nancheng Normal after the college entrance examination.
After becoming a teacher, nine out of ten of the money I earned was given to my family......"
Hearing this, He Mu made up a patriarchal family in his mind.
But it's unreasonable, in this era, the proportion of men joining the army is very high, and the possibility of dying in battle is also very high, and some families are even afraid of having boys.
"So...... Lin Wei went to Lingzhou City, but her parents were afraid that she would not give the family money, so they tried their best to stop her, but Lin Wei simply cut off contact with her family...... Is that so?"
He Mu said softly.
"Well, that's pretty much it. ”
The old lady nodded, then sighed softly.
"Alas, what a good girl, but she was born in such a family, you don't know, the day before she left, I went to her house and heard what her parents said......"
"What?"
"Said that they would give birth to a son and send them to join the army, even if they died outside, they could move into the military-affiliated community, they would receive money every month, give birth to a daughter, and there was no use for fart, and now they finally have a little bit of interest, so they want to abandon their parents and go to the big city, what a white-eyed wolf!"
The old lady said with righteous indignation.
He Mu was also a little cold in his heart when he heard this.
This family is not patriarchal, but they don't care about family affection at all, otherwise they wouldn't be able to say things like "my son can get money every month when he joins the army and dies outside".
Gamblers have little humanity, whether it is in a past life or in this world, it is the same.
But just like that, Lin Wei's child still didn't worry about her parents and younger brother, so before leaving, she handed over the little savings she had hidden over the years to me, and asked me to give it to her parents every month in the name of school subsidies...... He also said that when she started paying her salary over there, she would call back. ”
Speaking of this, the old lady's eyes were red, and she subconsciously wiped the corners of her eyes.
He Mu didn't feel good in his heart.
......
"Her parents actually wanted her to marry a rich man, but she hadn't talked to anyone all these years, and I also introduced her to a Red Mist Warrior, who was also my former student, but she said that she had a sweetheart.
I asked her who she was, and I wanted to speak for her, to be a middleman, and she said that she was not worthy...... Alas, this child has had some inferiority complex since he was a child because of his family, in fact, someone as good as her, where can he not be worthy of anyone?"
......
"More than a week ago, she came to my house and told me that she wanted to go to Lingzhou City, she was a little emotional, obviously just cried, I saw her pitiful appearance, I didn't think about it, I agreed to fight for her.
I think it's better to leave Nancheng and go to a big city to live a new life than to be angry in Nancheng.
She told me before she left......
She said she wanted to live for herself this time. ”
......
"I want to live for myself. ”
He Mu sat on the sofa, his heart becoming more and more blocked.
......
In this way, after listening to the old lady talk for more than half an hour, He Mu left the old lady's house.
Compared to when he came, he had an extra note in his hand, with a string of numbers written on it, which was Lin Wei's current contact information.
But He Mu didn't know how to contact him.
Because he realized that there were some things that were not clear over the phone.
"I'll look for her when I go to Lingzhou. ”
He Mu put the note in his pocket and made a decision in his heart.
And the next thing he has to do is to concentrate on the task to get more city contribution points.
......
Without delay, He Mu left the community and got on the bus to the Red Mist Alliance.
After an hour's drive, He Mu came to the Red Mist Alliance again.
I came here before, but I was just playing at home.
And this time, it's going to be real.
Thinking of this, He Mu took a deep breath and walked towards the Red Mist Bar.
