Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 276
Xu Huifang saw that the little girl was pitiful alone, so she asked her to come in and sit down.

"Do you know the phone number of mom and dad? I'll give them a call. I don't want the meal money. Just let them come and pick you up." Xu Huifang said kindly.

The little girl shook her head and said, "My parents didn't come at all. They are in my hometown. I came here by myself."

Xu Huifang said in shock: "Oh my god, you are such a young child and run around, what should you do if something happens?"

The little girl smiled wryly, then took out her ID card from her small bag, put it on the table and pushed it to Xu Huifang, "Auntie, I don't have any money with me now, so I will deposit the ID card with you first, and I will pay for the meal when I get it." Can I give it to you after winning the Stomach King Challenge?"

Xu Huifang and Wang Tianhui were shocked that such a young child had an ID card, and when they looked down at the date of birth on the ID card, they immediately exclaimed.

The little girl is Miao Xiaowei. Although she looks 13 or 4 years old, she is already 20 years old and an adult.

Seeing Xu Huifang and Wang Tianhui's surprised expressions, Miao Xiaowei was very calm, she was used to this kind of surprise from others.

No matter how Xu Huifang sees Miao Xiaowei as a child, regardless of appearance or voice, she is impeccable. She can't accept the fact that the thin Miao Xiaowei in front of her will be an adult.

"How come you are 20 years old? It looks like it's not much older than my Tiantian. You are kidding, right? It's okay. Don't be afraid. Auntie will not force you to ask for money. You have to contact your family as soon as possible. A What about the kids running around?"

Miao Xiaowei sighed and laughed at herself, the expression was a little subtle from her childish face.

"Every time I go to find a job, they say the same thing, thinking that I am a kid who sneaked out of the house, and no one wants to believe me."

Xu Huifang patted Miao Xiaowei's head, and said softly: "Auntie doesn't believe you, it's just that children have to be obedient. Do you think how anxious your family can't find you? Isn't it?"

Hearing Xu Huifang's tone of coaxing the child, Miao Xiaowei felt even more helpless.

"Mom, go and clean up the side house for this little sister first, let her live at home tonight, and I'll chat with her for a while."

"Okay, then ask carefully, don't scare the child into tears." Xu Huifang instructed.

"I see." Wang Tianhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Miao Xiaowei watched Xu Huifang go out and sighed with mixed feelings.

"Have some tea." Wang Tianhui poured a cup of tea for Miao Xiaowei and pushed it over.

Miao Xiaowei picked up the big teacup with her small hands, and looked at Wang Tianhui with big eyes, "Didn't you say that children can't drink tea?"

She was laughing at herself and also testing Wang Tianhui's attitude.

Wang Tianhui took a sip of his own tea, "You're not a kid, drink it, it's fine."

Miao Xiaowei showed a surprised expression. Since she left home, Wang Tianhui is still the first person who is willing to believe her.

She gulped down a cup of tea, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Wang Tianhui again, "Do you really believe me?"

"Why not? Even though you have the appearance of a child, your demeanor and tone are those of an adult, which cannot be faked. So do you have some kind of illness?" Wang Tianhui asked directly.

Miao Xiaowei nodded, "Actually, I didn't see any problems when I was born, but other people's children can walk when they are one year old, and I can't walk until I am five or six years old. At that time, I found that I was much shorter than children of the same age, but My mother is not tall, and my family thinks that I am slow in development, and it is normal for me to not grow tall."

Wang Tianhui said in surprise: "You can only walk at the age of five or six. This is not a matter of slow development. This is serious, okay? You should go to the hospital for an examination."

Miao Xiaowei smiled wryly: "Our family lives in the mountains, and the economic conditions are not good. Besides, I am a girl, so it would be nice to be able to feed and support me. What else do I expect?"

From Miao Xiaowei's simple words, Wang Tianhui felt deeply powerless. Being born in a patriarchal family is a tragedy in itself.

"How long have you been away from home?" Wang Tianhui asked.

"It's been more than three years, it's been too long, I don't really remember." Miao Xiaowei blinked her big eyes and looked confused.

"Then if you come out of the house like this, won't your family worry?" Wang Tianhui asked tentatively.

When mentioning her family, Miao Xiaowei didn't have any mood swings, as if she was mentioning a stranger.

Or maybe she's holding on to hide her inner fragility.

"What's there to worry about? I'm a burden to the family. I don't have the strength to farm and eat too much. With me at home, my younger brother will not be able to talk about marriage in the future. They want me to go out early, and it is best to die outside."

There was no hatred in Miao Xiaowei's tone, but she was very indifferent, as if she was talking about other people's affairs. She might have been disappointed with that family long ago.

She talked about her miserable life in a flat tone, and sometimes even laughed at herself, as if she looked away.

But Wang Tianhui could see the deep despair in her dim eyes.

Suffering from illness, being abandoned by her family, unable to find a job, and trying her best to fill her stomach every day, Miao Xiaowei, who suffered a double blow both physically and mentally, how did she survive all these years?
Wang Tianhui didn't even dare to think about it.

"Perhaps your illness can be cured. Don't give up hope." Wang Tianhui comforted her.

Miao Xiaowei smiled, and said with an indifferent look: "I don't think about medical treatment. Now I want to win the championship of Big Stomach King, and then take the bonus to find a place to settle down. I can live on this money." Just live as long as you want, I don’t want to bother.”

She said such words in a flat tone, one can imagine how desolate her heart is.

It was the first time for Wang Tianhui to see a young girl who was just 20 years old with a pessimistic attitude towards death.

Seeing that Wang Tianhui was at a loss for words, Miao Xiaowei explained again: "Nine out of ten times out of ten, my disease cannot be cured. If I save 100 million yuan, I can live for a long time, but if it is cured, it may be all spent." It may not be cured, and when the disease is cured and the money is gone, wouldn't it be even worse?"

"Yes, you are right to think so." Wang Tianhui smiled helplessly.

"So, I'm pretty smart, right? But don't worry, even if I don't win the Big Eater Championship, I will find a way to pay back your family's money. I won't live and live for free. I will do a lot of work."

Miao Xiaowei shows Wang Tianhui her tiny, callused hands.

Looking at her rough hands that didn't match her face, Wang Tianhui was really shocked this time.

"Haha, it's nothing. Those regular places think I'm a child laborer and dare not use me. They can only do some illegal work or do rough work to make some money. It's all dirty and tiring work that no one wants to do. It's hard work. I have little money, but what can I do, who made me look like this."

Miao Xiaowei laughed at herself mercilessly.
