Chapter Thirty-Five? Li Motian
Lin Yueling paced back and forth at the candy painting stall, looking around anxiously for Wu Chen's figure. She not only liked Wu Chen's clear eyes, but she seemed to have something else in her heart.
"Aunt Lin, what are you looking at?"
Lin Yueling was startled and turned to look behind her. Wasn't it Wu Chen who was looking at her with a smile on his face?
"Are you okay? Are you injured? Are you in any danger? Are you..."
Facing Lin Yueling's series of inquiries, Wu Chen did not feel verbose, but instead felt warm in his heart.
"It's okay Aunt Lin, don't you think I'm fine?"
Lin Yueling looked at Wu Chen from front to back, left and right, and then felt relieved. She took the bag that Wu Chen handed to her and said, "Let's go, I just bought the vegetables and I haven't had time to pick them up yet."
"Come on, why are you standing there?"
"Xiao Wu, who are you talking to?"
Wu Chen let out a figure behind him with his head lowered and his clothes folded. This was a child who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. He had a childish look on his face and looked a little malnourished. He wore a large
The clothes covered her body, making her look even thinner.
"What is this?" Lin Yueling vaguely guessed something in her heart.
"This is the kid who stole your bag."
"Oh, forget it. This child is too young. What he lacks is discipline and restraint. Don't send him to that kind of place. It's not good for his growth."
Wu Chen didn't expect that this was what Lin Yueling said when she opened her mouth. It could be seen from her eyes that she was not pretending, but what she said sincerely.
"Aunt Lin, I don't intend to send him away, but to take him out of the hands of those gangsters and lead him to the right path."
"Huh? You mean you want to take this child away? You are just a child. You don't think you have the ability to educate and raise you, do you? This is just a superficial problem. Have you ever thought about deeper problems?
No? You are too hasty..."
Although Lin Yueling's words were not directly stated, her concern was clearly revealed, and Wu Chen was moved again.
"Aunt Lin, it's okay. I have considered these issues. I have not seen my parents since I was a child. It was my master who picked me up and raised me. Although this child did such a thing, in his heart
No, his situation is very similar to mine, but my situation is much better than his."
"You kid, hey, okay..." Lin Yueling didn't say anything, but she secretly made a decision in her heart.
After washing away the mud and dust on his face, the child's eyes revealed a burst of intelligence. Putting on Wu Chen's somewhat loose clothes, although he looked a little ridiculous, he was also very cute.
The child looked at the dishes on the table, his throat rolling continuously, but he did not move. His eyes were fixed on the steaming pig's trotters, and he swallowed saliva unconsciously.
"Before eating, please introduce yourself first," Wu Chen said.
"I...my name is Li Motian, I am 12 years old this year."
"Okay, Xiao Wu, let Mo Tian eat. He must be very hungry. Come and get some food for you."
Lin Yueling put a piece of chicken into Li Motian's bowl. Although Li Motian kept swallowing, he still didn't move.
Lin Yueling looked at Wu Chen doubtfully, and Wu Chen said to Li Motian: "If Aunt Lin tells you to eat, just eat it. It's okay."
After listening to Wu Chen's words, Li Motian hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks on the table and started to eat hungrily. The speed made Wu Chen, a big eater, a bit stunned.
"Aunt Lin, I want to rent a house that is big enough for the two of us. Can you help me find out?"
Lin Yueling put away the dishes and said: "That's no problem. There are rentals in our community. Because it's close to the city center, the price is a little more expensive, but I can go and talk about it."
"Thank you Aunt Lin, let's go first. I'll take Mo Tian to buy some clothes. If you have any news here, let me know. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher."
"You kid, how much money do you have? It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. You know it's not easy to make money now."
Wu Chen could only nod and smile. He couldn't say that I had earned almost 1 million. Although it was still far from buying a house, at least the down payment was no problem at all.
"You guys can stay here tonight. You can also save some money. The guest room happens to be empty." Lin Yueling warned again as she looked at the two people who were about to walk out.
"No need, Aunt Lin, I'll call you tomorrow." After saying that, Wu Chen left with Li Motian.
After finding a pretty good hotel, the two of them packed up their purchases. Wu Chen opened the braised pork and waited to eat, and the two of them started chatting.
"Mo Tian, who gave you this name?" Wu Chen handed a piece of sauced pig's trotters to Li Mo Tian, and he discovered that this was also a big eater.
Taking the sauced pig's trotters, Li Motian said thank you and said: "This name should be given by my parents. I have a wooden sign with the word Mo Tian engraved on it. As for the surname, it is completely adopted by an old man of mine."
Given according to her last name."
"I grew up in an orphanage and was adopted when I was 6 years old. Then when I was 7 years old, the old man died in a car accident. I was sent to her relatives' home for nearly three years. I really suffered.
I couldn't stand their abuse, so I ran away. In the end, I was controlled by this group of people. I helped them steal and rob things. If I didn't comply, I would be beaten severely and not given food. At that time, I was so hungry that I couldn't even be called a mouse.
I can even swallow a cockroach."
Li Motian said it easily, but Wu Chen couldn't calm down in his heart. Li Motian spent 12 years of his life in this harsh environment. If he hadn't met him, he must have been hiding in that dark corner, chewing.
Just shiver while eating cold or expired rotten food.
Thinking of this, Wu Chen was a little glad for his decision at that time. At least he could still guarantee the basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. But this was not a solution. In this society, knowledge is necessary to survive. It seems that going to school is also a consideration.
"Why did you follow me then?"
Li Motian put down the pig's trotters in his hand, his eyes a little dull. Wu Chen did not interrupt him, but waited quietly.
Hey, with a sigh that was inappropriate for his age, Li Motian said: "I didn't know why at the time, I just had a feeling that if I follow you, my destiny will definitely change dramatically, although I don't know about this change.
What is it."
"Do you feel it?" Wu Chen murmured to himself and thought about it.
"Brother Chen, don't you believe it?" Li Motian asked hurriedly, looking at Wu Chen who was rubbing his chin, and even put down the pig's trotters in his hands.
"Oh! No, I'm just thinking about other issues. Judging from your appearance, you should be a person with high achievements. You should work hard in the future. Now you can follow me and give me a hand. Wait until September this year.
It’s been a month and I’ll find a way for you to go to school.”
"No, I don't want to go to school, I want to stay with you, Brother Chen."
"Haha, it's okay to follow me, but if you don't have the knowledge to follow me, it will only be a burden. You have to learn to grow on your own, and you can't rely on others for your whole life, right?"
"I won't rely on others, I will steal..."
Wu Chen waved his hand and interrupted Li Motian, who said seriously: "From today on, you must put away those shady methods of yours. You only need to know that you will get something if you pay. You must rely on your true ability for money and things."
Go get it.”
"Yes, I got it based on my true skills. They didn't even know that I stole things. They said that stealing is also a high-tech job."
Wu Chen was choked by Li Motian's words, and looked at him dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to answer.
"You can't steal anything anyway...".
"Okay, Brother Chen, then I'll grab it, and I'll support you later..."
