Chapter 11 Live for yourself
Turning around, He Mu did not go to the Red Mist Alliance again, but changed direction and walked towards Nancheng Junior High School.
It is mid-July now, middle school students have just had a holiday, and there are not many people in the school, but if you find the principal, you may know Lin Wei’s specific situation. If you are not good, you can also ask about her contact information.
...
One hour later.
He Mu came to a community near the school.
The principal of Nancheng Junior High School is named Chen Lan, and he is also a famous person around. After a little inquiry, he learned that her family is in this community.
After searching, He Mu came to Room 306, Building 1, a certain unit and knocked on the door lightly.
Not long after, an old lady with gray hair, glasses and wrinkles on her face opened the door.
"Who are you?"
The old lady looked at He Mu through the crack in the door, her eyes full of questions.
"You are Principal Chen Lan, I want to ask you about something about Lin Wei. I heard that she was a teacher at Nancheng Junior High School before."
He Mu is very polite and authentic.
Who would have thought that when Chen Lan's eyes became alert when she heard this.
Seeing this, He Mu suddenly felt a sudden heart and quickly added: "Principal Chen, don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I'll leave if I ask a few questions. Just ask at this door."
Chen Lan looked at He Mu up and down again, then opened the door completely, and said calmly:
"I've seen too many young people. You don't look like a bad guy, come in."
He Mu breathed a sigh of relief and carefully followed the old lady into the house.
"Sit down, let's talk about why you want to inquire about Lin Wei first?"
The old lady pointed to the sofa, her attitude was a little cold.
He Mu sat down gently, sorted out his words in his heart, and then replied sadly: "I am entrusted by someone and need to inform Lin Wei of an important news in person."
When the old lady heard this, she shook her head, her eyes with a sharp look at everything.
"It was Lin Wei's parents who asked you to find out her contact information?"
He Mu was stunned when he heard this.
Where is this and where?
After coming back to his senses, he quickly said, "No, Principal Chen, why can't I understand what you said? Could it be that Lin Wei's parents can't contact Lin Wei?"
The old lady didn't answer, but just looked straight into He Mu's eyes, as if she wanted to see through He Mu's heart.
He Mu did not dodge or avoid, his eyes were full of sincerity, and after a moment, the old lady's expression finally calmed down.
"It seems that you have nothing to do with her parents, I am too concerned."
Speaking of this, the old lady laughed at herself.
"Oh, her parents refused to let her go to Lingzhou City, and even came to me for this, so I was a little too alert."
"There is no need to make trouble so much that there is no contact information left, right?"
He Mu was very puzzled.
The old lady shook her head again.
"You don't know that her parents are gamblers. It's fine if they ignore their family, but they even treat her as a money tree... In fact, she left her contact information at the beginning, but she couldn't bear dozens or hundreds of phone calls a day, so she changed her number."
"ah?"
He Mu really didn't expect that Lin Wei's family would be in such a situation.
The old lady there seemed to have a lot of words in her heart. After she made sure that He Mu and Lin Wei's parents had nothing to do with each other, the conversation suddenly started.
"Lin Wei was my student before. She was very sensible. She has been among the best in her grades since she was a child. She has waived all the tuition fees and has received a lot of scholarships.
Unfortunately, she has no talent in science and can only learn literature.
Later, because I was worried about my parents and younger brother, I chose to go to Nancheng Normal University after the college entrance examination.
After becoming a teacher, most of the money you earned was handed over to your family..."
Hearing this, He Mu made up a family that favored boys over girls in his mind.
But it is unreasonable. In this era, the proportion of men joining the army is very high, and the possibility of death in battle is also very high. Some families are even afraid of having boys.
"So... Lin Wei went to Lingzhou City. Her parents were afraid that she would not pay the family, so they tried their best to stop it. Lin Wei simply cut off contact with the family... Is that true?"
He Mu said softly.
"Well, that's about that."
The old lady nodded and then sighed softly.
"Oh, what a good girl, 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's the matter?"
"If you say you have a son and sent him to join the army, even if you die outside, they can move into the military community. You have money every month. If you have a daughter, it's useless. Now you have finally had some prospects, and you just want to abandon your parents and go to a big city. You're really a rolling wolf!"
The old lady was filled with righteous indignation.
He Mu felt a little cold when he heard this.
This family is not a man who prefers boys over girls, but does not care about family affection at all. Otherwise, they would not be able to say "My son can get money every month after he dies when he joins the army."
Gamblers have few human natures, both in their previous lives and in this world.
"But in this way, Lin Wei's child was still worried about her parents and younger brother. Before leaving, she handed over the savings she had hidden over the years to me, and asked me to give her parents every month in the name of school subsidies... and said that she would get back when she started paying her salary there."
Speaking of this, the old lady's eyes turned red and she subconsciously wiped the corners of her eyes.
He Mu felt bad either.
...
"Her parents actually hoped that she would marry a rich man, but she had never had a partner over the years. I also introduced her to a Red Mist Warrior, who was also my former student, but she said she had a sweetheart.
I asked her who she was and wanted to say for her, and she was a middleman, but she said she was not worthy of her... Alas, this child has been a little inferior since childhood because of her family. In fact, how could a person as outstanding as her not 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 excited at that time. She obviously had just cried. Seeing her pitiful appearance, I promised to fight for her without thinking.
I think it’s better to leave Nancheng and live a new life in a big city than to be angry in Nancheng.
She also told me before leaving...
She said she wanted to live for herself this time.”
...
"I want to live for myself."
He Mu sat on the sofa, feeling more and more upset.
...
In this way, after listening to the old lady's confidant for more than half an hour, He Mu left the old lady's home.
Compared to when he came, he had an extra note on his hand, which was written with a string of numbers, which was Lin Wei’s current contact information.
But He Mu didn't know how to contact him.
Because he realized that some things were hard to explain by phone.
"Let me find her when I go to Lingzhou."
He Mu put the note in his pocket and made a decision in his heart.
Next, all he has to do is concentrate on doing tasks to get more city contribution value.
...
Without delay, He Mu left the community and took 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, just playing house.
But this time I came here, I had to take it seriously.
Thinking of this, He Mu took a deep breath and walked towards the Red Mist Bar.
