Chapter 509: An immature idea(3/4)
"Can you cook?"
"..."
"Moving bricks?"
"..."
"And mud?"
"..."
Hearing Li Xuewu ask this, Tong Huimei was speechless. Every time Li Xuewu asked, her head lowered.
Seeing the contempt in Li Xuewu's eyes, Jin Jiaojiao, who was sitting next to her, whispered: "We can sing..."
"oh"
Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at her, responded noncommittally, and then asked: "Then why don't you go to singing to support yourself? Didn't you just say that there is no way to survive?"
Seeing Li Xuewu asking this, Jin Jiaojiao didn't dare to say anything again. Tong Huimei pulled her companion, raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu and said helplessly: "She and I both grew up in elementary school arts and have never learned anything else..."
"Then you can't do everything."
Li Xuewu looked at Tong Huimei and said, "So stop being able to do anything."
"yes"
Tong Huimei also understood what Li Xuewu meant and nodded resignedly.
But it felt like a piece of glass was broken in her heart. The skills she relied on to survive could not be earned in this society.
From this point of view, the hard work of the two of them for more than ten years seems to be a waste of time.
At the very least, in front of this person, the two of them are useless.
Li Xuewu thought the same way. He couldn't even eat, yet he dared to say he couldn't do anything.
How come you don’t put food into your mouth when you know how to do everything?
"This house is mine"
Li Xuewu emphasized: "I have nothing to do with you two."
"yes"
Tong Huimei's expression changed, but since Li Xuewu said it, today we must resolve it calmly.
She had no choice but to continue the conversation in response to Li Xuewu's words. If there was no way out, depending on the dignity of their daughter's family, they would not do anything like occupying other people's houses and refusing to leave.
Li Xuewu emphasized again: "So you must move."
Seeing Li Xuewu say this, both of their faces turned pale. They looked at the dishes on the table. They had appetites just now, but now they felt cold in their hearts.
Li Xuewu looked at the expressions on the two people's faces and exhaled from his nostrils. He frowned slightly, shook his chin, and asked, "So, you want me to support you?"
Tong Huimei suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu with wide eyes, unable to believe that Li Xuewu would say this.
In other words, she couldn't believe that Li Xuewu would say such a thing based on his identity.
Li Xuewu looked at her with the same expression and said: "I don't want to leave, I can't live, I hang myself if I'm kicked out, I just love to cry."
Seeing that Li Xuewu's words were quite rhyming, Jin Jiaojiao, who was sitting beside her, pursed her lips and almost bit her tongue.
Li Xuewu ignored her, but looked at Tong Huimei, who was in charge, and asked: "Staying here like this, will you all have to starve to death in the house sooner or later if I don't come?"
Tong Huimei thought about the few cents the two of them had in their hands. They were running out of ammunition and food.
Tonight, the plate was dark, but it was the last bit of food the two of them had frugally. After eating this meal, they didn’t know where to get their next meal.
Usually the two of them rarely go out, they are the kind of people who never leave the front door and don't let you go through the second door.
The master left in a hurry, and he only said a word to the two of them: their fate was over, and they each had to make a living.
These few cents were saved by their frugality, and they usually don't get a piece of it.
It was impossible for them to go to the vegetable market to pick up vegetables. First, they would lose face, and second, they would not be able to find a vegetable market.
How else could Li Xuewu say that the two of them would starve to death? These two people are worse than Sister Lou.
"I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
It seemed that this was the only thing Tong Huimei could say, and she couldn't say anything else and had no reason to say it.
Li Xuewu drooped his eyelids and said: "I am most afraid of trouble, but trouble must be solved when it comes to me, so there are two ways."
Seeing what Li Xuewu said, Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao both looked at Li Xuewu, waiting for Li Xuewu to continue.
Li Xuewu paused and said: "One, if I delay renting the house for a month, it will be a good time to find you a house and a good way to make a living. I won't charge rent, but don't cause damage, let alone stay inside.
Playing with self-mutilation”.
Jin Jiaojiao's eyes were still shining, but after listening to Li Xuewu's words, the light dimmed again.
What they lack now is not the time to live in a house, but the food in their mouths.
Not even rice, because they couldn't turn it into rice.
At least...at least there must be a cook...
Tong Huimei said nothing, her eyes remained unchanged, looking at Li Xuewu, waiting for the second way.
Li Xuewu waited for the two of them to finish their reaction, and then continued: "Second, I support you, and all the food and clothing are mine. You don't have to make money or find a house, but you know what this means."
After listening to Li Xuewu's words, Tong Huimei's face finally changed, her face was as white as snow, and her shoulders almost collapsed.
Jin Jiaojiao looked at Li Xuewu and then at Tong Huimei.
She is younger, but she knows everything she needs to know. The stories in the drama are more exciting and cruel than reality.
"You support us?"
Jin Jiaojiao was more direct than Tong Huimei. After looking at Li Xuewu for a while, she asked: "Aren't you... a cadre?"
Li Xuewu looked at her and did not answer the question. Apparently he only wanted to hear answers, not questions.
Jin Jiaojiao was obviously aware of Li Xuewu's intention. She looked at Li Xuewu with wide eyes and her little calculations were clicking in her heart.
"We really don't have to make money? We don't have to cook and eat by ourselves. We don't have to do laundry..."
Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and said: "If you can't even wash clothes, I will send you to the moat in a while."
"go……"
Jin Jiaojiao was just about to ask why she was going to the moat, but she remembered that when she came out just now, the man said he wanted to target the two of them.
Then go to the moat and you will understand what it means.
At this moment, I also shrank my neck, not daring to raise any more conditions, but I had already thought about it.
"I...I can do my own laundry."
Jin Jiaojiao's answer meant that she had chosen her own path, which also surprised Tong Huimei who was sitting beside her.
"Jiaojiao!"
Li Xuewu looked at the girl and raised his eyebrows. He deliberately gave two ways, forcing the two of them to go out on their own.
At this time, no one has any self-esteem. Given this month, even if he goes to work on the street to paste matchboxes, he can make ends meet.
Renting a house is very cheap now, just a few cents a month, so you wouldn't choose the second option, right?
But this girl seemed to have discovered some secret to living a life of lying idle, and resolutely chose the path of no return by committing herself to others.
"Sister, are you still thinking about that person?"
Jin Jiaojiao revealed Tong Huimei's thoughts and said angrily: "What has he told you? You are still thinking about him. Now that we have neither money nor food, can we still beg for food?"
"Um"
Li Xuewu nodded and interjected: "This is a decent businessman."
Seeing Li Xuewu's expression, Jin Jiaojiao looked at her repeatedly, took Tong Huimei's hand and whispered: "I don't have the shame to beg for food."
Tong Huimei also lowered her head and shed tears at this moment. She was full of hatred in her heart and couldn't express the bitterness in her mouth.
Jin Jiaojiao asked for food, but there was no way she could do it. She had been so hungry these past few days and didn't even bother to step out of the door.
The world outside that threshold seemed to be full of wild beasts, making them afraid to go out, let alone accept the reality.
They were used to the life in the house and thought it would be good to live like this for the rest of their lives.
This may be the natural desire for protection of a child who has no father or mother and grows in a desolate environment.
Seeing that her sister was silent, Jin Jiaojiao glanced at the man sitting opposite and whispered in Tong Huimei's ear: "You can see the money at first sight. I used gold bars to buy Master's house. I eavesdropped that night, and so did the other Masters and Uncles."
I sold the house to him and it was all settled in gold bars."
Tong Huimei turned her head slightly and looked at Jin Jiaojiao, with a bitter look on her face.
Jin Jiaojiao did not cry, she wiped the tears of the young lady and said: "You and I are both ghosts living in the drama. Since I want to be a ghost, then I don't want to be a hungry, ugly and crying ghost."
When Tong Huimei saw her little sister's words, her tears fell down, making Li Xuewu look like a bully who forced his good boy to do...
"Dangdang"
Li Xuewu tapped the table with his fingers and said: "I'm in a hurry. If you two have discussed it, we can make it clear openly. If you are not in a hurry, you can find time to cry when you are free."
Seeing that the person opposite was so "cruel", Tong Huimei also held back her tears.
Jin Jiaojiao wanted to choose the second path, but she did not have the courage to choose the first one. She could only look at Li Xuewu and wait for the next chapter.
Li Xuewu also looked at her and asked: "So, you still want me to support you?"
"yes"
At this moment, Tong Huimei nodded sadly and said: "Please take care of He...he..."
After a few words, she didn't say anything else. Li Xuewu nodded and said, "That's alright. I value credibility the most, so I won't sign any agreement. Let's go back now."
To be continued...
