The Way To Escape the Scum - Chapter 16

    After finishing the call, Ling Xiao returned to the hall as if nothing had happened, and stuffed the phone back. When the drunk guest saw that she was good-looking and had a kind service attitude, he immediately took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, praised her with a big tongue, and wanted to get together to wipe the oil.

    Of course, Ling Xiao would not have trouble with money, so he accepted the money with peace of mind, then smiled, twisted his hands hard, and immediately turned around and ran away.

      ?”

    Ling Xiao: “If you have money, you can take it, but if you have money, it depends on whether you have life or not. Although it is not clear about her condition, it is obvious that if she stays now, she will be taken with her. Sweep/Yellow Sweep gets into the game, or suddenly die again later. What’s the matter, I have to stay and choose between the two?”

    System: …Sorry, the downtime just didn’t respond to the situation.

    Ling Xiao felt pain everywhere on her body, she could hardly breathe, and she was sweating profusely. She hurried back to the locker room and found her own cupboard to change clothes. The heavy winter clothes were very uncomfortable. She didn’t let out a long sigh of relief until she came outside, the cold air slid into her nose, and snowflakes fell on her face.

    At this time, the neon in the city is not so colorful yet, high-rise buildings and old houses to be demolished coexist, and the mobile phones that passers-by take out are hung with various styles of dangling chains, and there are few smart ones. Ling Xiao stopped a green taxi, the old meter started to hit the meter, and the master smiled and asked her where to go.

    In 2010, the new and the old alternate, and the era of development is flying at an alarming speed.

    Ling Xiao went directly to the nearest People’s Hospital and was admitted to the night emergency. The young doctor heard her talk about the fainting situation just now, measured her blood pressure and pulse, and ordered a few checklists to tell her to go for the test quickly. When the list arrived, he frowned, both heartache and blame.

    “Malnutrition, severe anemia, myocardial ischemia, and brain problems. I’m lucky that I didn’t die suddenly. Why is my body so weak at such a young age?”

    Ling Xiao: “Uh… I’m tired, both physically and mentally, I will definitely take good care of myself in the future.”

    I am definitely going to be hospitalized tonight. Ling Xiao hung on the drip, and under the gentle remarks of the little doctor, he finally lay on the hospital bed at three in the morning. The cold liquid was injected into the blood, and she regained her vitality little by little. She closed her eyes and began to receive the background experience and tasks of this world—

    The original owner was born in a poor and backward village, with a simple and hopeful name.

    Wang Zhaodi.

    Including the Wang family, the entire village is a typical patriarchal traditional ideology. Father Wang Defu married Chen Fenglan from the village next door a few years ago, and gave birth to a girl in the first year.

    Wang Defu was very angry, and Mrs. Wang cried and wiped away tears. The two even wanted to sell their children directly to others. Chen Fenglan also hated her belly for not being able to live up to her expectations, but she was timid and afraid of trouble, and asked the village godmother to calculate her life, saying that she would be named “Zhaodi” to raise her, and she would be able to give birth to a son in the second year.

    Sure enough, Chen Fenglan gave birth to a big fat boy in the second year, and the family happily named Wang Shigui. Younger Wang Zhaodi escaped, but she did not know that she was about to begin a tragic and depressed life.

    When he was three years old, he had to coax his younger brother in the cradle as soon as he could walk. She can get subsidies for her family when she goes to elementary school and junior high school. She has good grades and got a scholarship to enter high school, so she has the opportunity to study all the time, but every day after school, she has to feed pigs, cook, do odd jobs, be beaten, and sleep on a folding bed in the kitchen. He was bullied by his younger brother from time to time.

    Ling Xiao admires this little girl very much. She can be admitted to a good university in the provincial capital in this environment, which shows that she is strong and persevering. If you can successfully graduate, work, and live your own life, then it will be a rewarding experience.

    Unfortunately, under the influence of the long-term native family, Wang Zhaodi’s weak and kind side was severely grasped by his family.

    Tuition fees and living expenses are all of your own responsibility, and the poverty subsidy needs to be paid in full. In addition, Wang Defu asked her to send an additional 2,000 yuan to her family every month as the price of being able to go to school. If they don’t give it, then they will be forced to go home and get married for money.

    “Look at the girl in the village who reads so many books? We promised you with good hearts. This money is not to be used for your brother, he will appreciate you in the future.”

    Wang Zhaodi was used to being oppressed, and even felt a little grateful, so he agreed. She started working part-time and spent most of her time working as a tutor, washing dishes, and doing housekeeping. Every month, the money hits the passbook on time, but the other party’s desire is also expanding, and the amount requested increases month by month.

    Two thousand, three thousand, five thousand… Until last week, my family called and said that Wang Shigui smashed the head of a high school classmate, and the other party wanted 30,000 yuan, which must be given within a week .

    “The previous money was used to renovate the house, and the rest must be given to Shigui to marry a daughter-in-law. We gave birth to you and raised you, and you are an older sister, so it’s not too much to help your younger brother?”

    30,000 yuan, she is a college student who only dares to eat two steamed buns and free soup every day, what will she give?

    Boundless despair came from all sides, Wang Zhaodi was silent for a long time and did not speak.

    In the end, she still agreed, just like every time before.

    After Ling Xiao received this experience, she was really sighed, and she understood why she went to the clubhouse to be a high-paying night attendant, and finally died of sudden death due to sleepless nights.

    “So what is the client’s wish this time?”

    System: “Uh…it’s a more troublesome situation.”

    Ling Xiao saw it faltering, opened the taskbar and found only a short line of words on it.

    [Task: Find out the meaning of living. 】

    [Time limit: none. 】

    Ling Xiao was stunned for a while, carefully recalling the last moments of Wang Zhaodi’s feelings when he first entered the world.

    How to say it?

    Like a dying fish, struggling in the shoal, unable to breathe, looking lazily at the sea that is so close but never reachable, I don’t know when it will really swim into the sea.

    She has endured and suffered for many years, and she is too tired and tired. The endless squeezing of her relatives seems to have devoured her flesh and blood, but she does not know when she will be able to get out of the world that trapped her. She went to the university in the provincial capital, but her heart was still locked in the mountain village, and she was completely destroyed bit by bit.

    At the moment when she was dying, the 18-year revolving lantern passed before her eyes, and suddenly she only had time to leave one question.

    Why live in this world?

    How ridiculous.

    Ling Xiao abruptly opened his eyes, without saying a word, and looked sideways at the lights of Wanjia outside the window.

     Her expression was condensed, her eyes were as deep as the sea, and there was a faint storm.

    Hey little girl, can you hear me?

    Life is free, but everywhere is in chains. The shackles that hold you will soon be broken.

    Why live?

    There is only one answer—

    Live for yourself!

    ————

     I lost a few bottles of drip and slept until noon the next day. When Ling Xiao woke up, he felt that his body was lighter, and the feeling of panic subsided a lot. She went to thank the little doctor, took some medicine, and wandered back to school by bus.

    Wang Zhaodi is a sophomore this year, studying computer science, which is a popular emerging major at this time. She went to high school in the countryside and had never even seen a computer. She only chose this major after hearing that it was easy to find a job after graduation. However, after I went to college, I realized that I lived in two worlds with everyone, not to mention programming languages, and even typing had to be learned all over again.

    In her freshman year, she could barely keep up with the courses. Most of her sophomore year was occupied by part-time jobs, she skipped a lot of classes, and even failed courses. .

    Ling Xiao went straight back to the dormitory, and immediately went to the bathroom to rinse. While washing, I could only hear the sound of rushing water, and the yin and yang sarcasm came from the bed inside.

    “Yo, we’ve been recruiting for a whole night again, and we’re in a hurry to take a shower when we come back? If you have time to find a man, why not go to class?”

    This voice is Lin Lulu.

    The environment of the university is not bad, the dormitories are all quadruple rooms, with the bed and the table. One of the girls went out to rent a house with her boyfriend, and the other two were Lin Lulu and Lu Hongyun.

    Wang Zhaodi lives in poverty. He has a subsidy, but he often skips classes and does not return home at night. In addition, he is reticent and has a sense of distance that is out of place, so he is a little distant from the other three.

    Lu Hongyun is the eldest young lady from a wealthy family in the provincial capital. She is usually indifferent to Wang Zhaodi, but she is still at peace. On the other hand, this Lin Lulu likes to be jealous of girls who are more beautiful than her, so she always makes fun of her, doing silly little things when she has nothing to do.

    Ling Xiao calmly wiped her body and dried her hair before walking out.

    She skipped Lin Lulu, who was sitting at the table with an unhappy expression, without looking at it, and went straight back to her bed.

    It’s important to get down to business.

    Ling Xiao rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time, and finally found some cash, a bank card, and an account book from every corner.

    System: “What are you doing?”

    Ling Xiao: “Calculate the money.”

    She counted the money in the ledger and found that she currently had 18,000 yuan in her hand, and she had not had time to call home. This is already a huge sum of money for ordinary college students, but it is never enough for the Wang family, who is like a bottomless pit.

    “Are you planning to give it to the Wang family?”

    “Okay, let’s get some welcome gifts in exchange, such as Half-Life, arms and legs.”

    The system manually made a mosaic of violent remarks and sighed.

    “If you don’t give it, you won’t give it, but it is estimated that if you don’t give the couple money today, they will have to kill you at the school the day after tomorrow. Think about what to do.”

    Ling Xiao: “Wow, I’m so scared.”

    System:…

    “Ancestor, what are you going to do?! Don’t forget your mission!”

    Ling Xiao shrugged indifferently.

    “The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. The mere scum is not enough.”

    “Now, I have more important things to do.”

    She held the money and thought about it, and explained seriously: “Isn’t the country actively supporting college students to start their own businesses? Let’s not pretend, I think the food stalls in the night market outside the school are very good.”

    “I’m thinking, the first step in finding the meaning of life, let’s start from here!”

    “After all, blood relationships will take advantage of you, fragile feelings will abandon you, and career – will never betray you!”
