The Way To Escape the Scum - Chapter 18

    It was late and snow was falling again on the street. Lu Hongyun was tired and hungry, and there was still an inexplicable depression in his heart. She didn’t want to go back to the dormitory to listen to Lin Lulu’s noise, and she was even more afraid to meet someone again later, so she simply took a taxi and went straight home.

    The Lu family has a villa on the outskirts of the city. The scenery is beautiful and quiet. The family usually lives here. It was after eleven o’clock at night when I got home. Lu’s father and Lu’s mother had already gone to bed, and it was still the door opened by my brother Lu Cheng.

    Lu Chengping looked surprised: “Didn’t you call during the day and say you can’t come back? What’s wrong?”

    “It’s nothing, I just want to go home suddenly.” The warm air came upon her, and as soon as she relaxed physically and mentally, she heard her stomach gurgling, so she quickly changed the subject.

    “Brother, aren’t you going to the hospital today?”

    “Little Ancestor, I was on duty for more than 20 hours yesterday. Do you want your brother to die from overwork? Come and sit down, don’t hide it, I heard it. “Lu Chengping forcibly pulled her to the dining table, and turned around to go to the kitchen.

    After a few minutes, toast, poached eggs, vegetable salad, and hot milk were brought up. He started to eat in small bites.

    Healthy and nutritious, very comfortable to eat.

    But I always feel that compared to the bowl of fried potatoes at night, there is less indulgent taste…

    Stop! Stop thinking about that guy!

    Seeing that his sister had eaten a few mouthfuls, Lu Chengping put down his chopsticks and looked irritable with no appetite.

    “I’ve been hungry for a long time, why don’t you eat well? I know that you need to be strong since you were young, and you want to be a top programmer in the future, but you can’t ignore your body at a young age.”

    “Yesterday I met a girl the same age as you in the emergency department. She was distressing. It was severe anemia, malnutrition, myocardial ischemia, and it seemed A precursor to a cerebral hemorrhage, it is a miracle that there is no sudden death.”

    Lu Hongyun was stunned: “What’s the matter? Born?”

    “Hi, in my opinion, I’m tired.” Lu Chengping waved his hand, a little sighed.

    “She doesn’t seem to have a good family, so she may have left to work early. No matter how young she is, she can’t work all day long.

     “By the way, she has quite a few old scars on her body, and her name is ‘Zhaodi’. It sounds like the family prefers sons to daughters. I guess she has suffered a lot of abuse since she was a child…”

    An extremely strong intuition surged into my mind for no apparent reason, which caught people off guard and panicked.

    But how?

    “She, what’s her last name?”

    “Why are you asking this? Well, generally, patient information is kept confidential, but you don’t know—”

    “I remember her surname is Wang, Wang Zhaodi.”

    …

    The next day was Saturday, and Lu Hongyun rarely stayed at home for a whole day without reading a single book, and did not return to school until Sunday afternoon.

    The chaos in her mind was from Wang Zhaodi, who was taciturn and gloomy in the past, to the now thick-skinned and articulate Wang Zhaodi.

    No matter which one she is, she once questioned the other party why they often skip classes and don’t do their job properly, and also angrily scolded the parents for their hard-earned money. After getting the answer of “My business will be solved by myself”, she even thought that Wang Zhaodi was very funny.

    Unexpectedly, it was herself who was ridiculous.

    Blind to the obvious name, the performance of the tight end. Without knowing a person’s background and experience, rashly speculating and accusing the other person’s behavior or even character is nothing more than his own hidden sense of superiority at work!

    In the dormitory, only Lin Lulu was holding the computer, and she didn’t know what she was doing. Lu Hongyun looked at the innermost bed, which was empty.

    “Where is brother Wang Zhao? Did she say why she went?”

    Lin Lulu was about to open her mouth to call dear, when she heard that the first sentence of the other party when she entered the door was to ask Wang Zhaodi’s whereabouts, and her face stiffened.

     “Who knows, I went out early in the morning, and I came back very late yesterday, and I still smelled of oil smoke.”

    Soot smell.

    She really plans to go to the night market to set up a stall!

    Lu Hongyun turned around and was about to go out, but was grabbed by the other party.

    “Is Brother Wang Zhao busy with something? Can’t you tell me?”

    “Nothing…” Just as Lu Hongyun wanted to keep it secret, he suddenly remembered the text message he received suddenly at noon today.

    [If Lin Lulu asks, don’t hide it, help me spread the word to everyone, thank you. 】

    She paused, and then changed her mind: “She plans to go to the night market to set up a stall and sell some snacks. You can try it later when you have the opportunity. The taste is not bad.”

    After saying that, she ignored it and hurried out again.

    Lin Lulu couldn’t believe her ears, she was stunned to see Miss Lu complimenting her earnestly, clearly wanting to join in.

    The two of them went out to eat together that day, what happened? Why did the relationship suddenly ease up?

    Lin Lulu knew that she was jealous of Wang Zhaodi. She clearly exudes a sour taste all over her body, and her name is so ridiculous and vulgar, but she has a beautiful face. The ambiguous senior came to the dormitory once, and turned her head the next day to ask herself about her phone number. How could this not be hated.

    The most important thing is that Lu Hongyun, the thigh that even she failed to fully embrace, was taken away all of a sudden? !

    Lin Lulu plans to follow up secretly to find out. When I walked downstairs to the dormitory, I saw someone rushing in and was stopped by the dormitory aunt.

    The couple was dressed in tatters, wearing military coats, large cotton hats, and even patches on them. The man’s face was dark and his eyes were full of impatience. He stood beside him and cursed like a big man, while the woman was raising her voice, ignoring the snickering of the students who came and going, and dragged the dormitory to cry.

    “We’re recruiting a younger brother to live here. What do we need to register to see our daughter? What’s wrong with your school? Are you bullying people on purpose?”

    “The phone has never been answered. There has been such a big incident at home. She is a daughter, and she can’t do anything at this time. Lose money!”

    So they are Wang Zhaodi’s parents!

    Lin Lulu stopped in surprise and observed carefully.

    Ha, she is really the president, and she picks out their advantages. But being so poor and lacking in quality, it really is in the same line!

    The dormitory aunt was furious, but she didn’t dare to scold her in violation of the rules, so she had to explain patiently. The husband and wife were trying to break in, but they were stopped by a fashionably dressed little girl.

    The two looked over suspiciously, but Lin Lulu smiled sweetly and called out “Hello, uncle and auntie”.

    “Are you talking about recruiting a younger brother?”

    Brother Wang Zhao, you are nothing but a muddy mess, how can you suddenly forget your identity?

    It turns out that this is what you have been hiding, and this is the reason why you feel inferior and autistic, it’s really-great!

    “I know where she is, and I’m going to see her. Coincidentally, will my uncle and aunt come with me?”

    ————

    Today is Sunday, students have no classes, and office workers are resting. Although the weather is still extremely cold, the night market is still lively and fragrant.

    Lu Hongyun avoided the crowd and walked to the end of the passage without looking sideways. There are not many customers in twos and threes, but they are all around a small stall. She walked over quickly, and found that the dining car had been completely new, with all kinds of frying pans, ovens, and pans, and the new billboard was printed with a few big words—

    Pudgy Potato Snacks.

    Lu Hongyun looked at Ling Xiao, who was thin, small and busy, and then looked at the word “fat pier”, and couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth. Afterwards, a recording sounded in a loop from a loudspeaker next to the booth, very hard.

    “Potato snacks, everything, new store opening, half price!”

    Lu Hongyun hesitated for a long time, always feeling that he couldn’t wipe his face to greet him. But seeing Ling Xiao who was behind the booth glanced over here, he excitedly waved to her.

    “Come here and collect the money for me.”

    Lu Hongyun: …so why does she call others so naturally!

    Mobile payment is not very developed these days, and ordinary merchants have not popularized the QR code for payment. Lu Hongyun ordered the change, her fingers were frozen stiff, and after a few customers left with satisfaction, no one came to order for the time being, so she carefully planned to apologize.

    But before the words “I’m sorry” were spoken, Ling Xiao smiled and handed over a paper bag with a logo printed on it, which was a sketch of a chubby panda.

    “Eat, it’s too cold.”

      The stimulation makes people more addicted.

    Lu Hongyun ate one in a few mouthfuls, licked the corners of his mouth, and looked at the rich menu printed on the dining car, only to realize how busy this man must have been these two days.

    “I…”

    Hesitantly started, but was interrupted.

    “Before, I did want to hide a lot of things from everyone because I was afraid.”

    Lu Hongyun’s apology was blocked, and she couldn’t help but ask: “What are you afraid of?”

    Ling Xiao said casually while peeling potatoes.

    “I’m afraid you will look down on me, I’m afraid you’ll say I’m incompetent, I’m afraid I’m out of tune with this world, and I don’t even have the qualifications to survive after being punctured.”

    Ling Xiao looked at Lu Hongyun’s tangled face, wanted to ask but didn’t dare to ask, and couldn’t help but smile.

    “I told you before that there are three reasons for opening a food stall, right? This third point is actually something I have been hiding.”

    “I was born in a mountain village, where you can’t imagine poverty. The poorer I am, the more I want to have a son. I have to be a cow and a horse for my family since I was a child. I have never eaten a hot meal. I haven’t slept on the kang once, and I use my own blood to support my parents and younger brother.”

    “It took me seventeen years and my life to finally be able to sit on the same campus with you, but your starting line is already the finish line I can see. As their For the price of allowing me to study, I have to send 5,000 yuan to my home every month, or I will be sold and married. So what else can I do?”

    Lu Hongyun was stunned, he couldn’t react for a while, or he never thought that such cruel facts were happening on the same land. After a long time, she muttered:

    “So you skip class every day, leave early and come back late, and you are so tired that you are actually working part-time?”

    Ling Xiao nodded.

    “Yes, but this is beyond your responsibilities and obligations. Even biological parents should not oppress their daughters like this. Talk to them well, so that you can study with peace of mind and after graduation Can’t you repay the kindness of childbirth?”

     “Besides, you have your own life, and you should resist this unreasonable oppression.”

    Naive and hopeful words.

    Ling Xiao said: “Oh, this time that good brother injured his classmate, the other party asked for 30,000 yuan, and they asked me to make up the money within a week, otherwise I would look good .”

    Lu Hongyun: ? Is this what people do!

    “I’ll borrow you first—”

    “They have money themselves, they just want to continue to squeeze the last drop of blood from me. Giving is impossible. I have given enough over the years.”

    Ling Xiao planned to touch her head, but found that she couldn’t reach it, so she had to take the next step and hold up her hand, looking at her sincerely.

    Lu Hongyun didn’t let go, but his face turned slightly red.

    “You’re right, those accusations made a lot of sense. I also have a life of my own, and my whole life will be ruined if I go on like this. I’m not their slave, not even my biological parents. .”

    “I accept your apology, so… am I friends now?”

    “Of course!”

    “Then can I do a little favor for a while?”

    “Of course!”

    Lu Hongyun quickly took her hand back and found it was still oily and warm, so he couldn’t help showing a relieved smile.

    This is a good way to talk.

    A friend.

    However, looking at her, could something happen?

    Ling Xiao looked up and looked into the distance, and saw a familiar figure walking towards him, with a menacing posture, he couldn’t help laughing slowly.

    “Look, just finished speaking, people came.”

    “Miss Lu, it’s just right, I’ll invite you to watch a play.”
