Zhou Ling and Jiang Baige hurried forward to support Wang Yu.

Wang Yu was thin, and when Jiang Baige held her arm, he almost pinched her bones.

Her height should be less than 1.5 meters, half a head shorter than Jiang Baige, who is not tall to begin with.

But her eyes were firm.

Zhou Ling couldn't bear it, so she said to the head teacher who brought her out, "Teacher Zhao, if it's convenient, can we take Xiaoyu to eat something nearby?"

Teacher Zhao probably knew something about Wang Yu's family situation, so she didn't make it difficult and readily agreed: "We check the dormitories at 8 o'clock on weekends. As long as you come back before then, it's fine."

Not long after, the three of them sat in the newly opened American fast food restaurant in the county, enjoying the air-conditioning, eating fried chicken and French fries, and drinking Coke. The awkwardness, restraint and politeness at the beginning soon dissipated.

In her previous life, Jiang Baige loved eating junk food.

For the sake of my health, and in addition to exercising and controlling my diet, I don’t eat it that often.

But now, after running around and worrying for so long, having a meal here makes me feel completely relaxed both physically and mentally.

Zhou Ling nudged Jiang Baige with her elbow, motioning her to look at Wang Yu.

Wang Yu held a chicken wing in his hand, gnawing on the crispy skin and tender meat carefully, even the bits stuck between the bones, as if he was tasting some delicacy.

Jiang Baige couldn't help but ask her, "Do you want something else?"

Wang Yu raised her head, her big eyes standing out on her thin face: "No thanks, sister."

After saying that, she picked up the paper cup with the tip of her right thumb and ring finger and took a big sip of Coke.

She let out a contented sigh and narrowed her eyes slightly, and at this moment, she finally looked like a fourteen-year-old child.

But unfortunately, they didn't have much time to enjoy this warmth.

There are more important things waiting for them to do.

If Dai Yanling can successfully divorce this time, then their good days will last a long time...

"You just said that you hope your mother will get a divorce. Why?"

After Zhou Ling asked this question, she realized that her question was a bit stupid.

Dai Yanling has said that when Wang Liang beat her in the past, he never avoided his daughter... It is natural for a daughter to feel distressed when seeing her mother suffer.

Fortunately, Wang Yu was not angry: "You are my mother's lawyer, you should know that my father always beats my mother... He really beats her to death... My mother begged him and was beaten to the point of being unable to move, but he did not show any mercy. After beating her, he also asked my mother to work in the fields and cook for him.

"One year I did well in the exam and received a scholarship from the county for poor families. My mother wanted to use the money to buy me new clothes and some meat, but my father saw it... He wanted to snatch the money away and use it to play cards with Uncle Wang and his friends.

"My mother refused to let me, so he kicked her from the door to the table. She fell against the corner of the table. Before she could get up, he rushed over and kicked and stepped on her. I cried and pulled him away, saying that I didn't want the money and asked him to stop beating me. He ignored me and even..."

Having said this, Wang Yu suddenly stopped talking.

She lowered her head, took a sip of Coke, and continued, "I know that after that incident, my mother was heartbroken. Not long after, she ran away. After she ran away, my father told everyone that if he saw my mother coming back, he would break her legs so that she would never dare to run around again..."

Wang Yu suddenly grabbed Zhou Ling's hand and stood aside, about to kneel on the ground.

"Sister, please, save my mother, and don't let her come back! Otherwise...otherwise I'm afraid she will be beaten to death by my father!"

Zhou Ling quickly grabbed her and helped her back to her seat while saying soothing words.

"Of course we will help your mother." Jiang Baige also said, "Besides, your mother will be very happy to know that you are on her side. Xiaoyu, you are so smart, you should know that your mother is now hesitant about whether to divorce or not, because..."

"What?!" Wang Yu widened her eyes and interrupted Jiang Baige, "My mother doesn't want a divorce? Why? I don't understand, I don't know!"

She said to herself, "It's impossible. My mother promised me that after she gets divorced, she would take me in..."

Zhou Ling and Jiang Baige looked at each other and understood: As expected, it was Wang Liang who was causing trouble.

"It's okay, Xiaoyu, don't worry. No matter what happened in the middle, since we are here, we will convey your attitude to your mother..."

After that, Jiang Baige whispered to Zhou Ling, "Can you contact Sister Dai and let Xiaoyu talk to her?"

Zhou Ling nodded, walked aside and started making a phone call.

Jiang Baige sat down next to Wang Yu and gently stroked her hair. Only when she got closer did she see that her hair was thin, soft and yellow, which was a clear sign of malnutrition.

She is still studying and needs to use her brain every day. She also needs to grow up. It is no wonder that she is so thin because she does not get enough nutrition...

Jiang Baige sighed and felt very distressed.

Wang Yu didn't know what she was thinking and thought she was sighing for her mother: "Sister, just now you said that my mother doesn't want to divorce...why?"

Jiang Baige deliberately avoided the fact that Wang Liang had taken his youngest son to Anjing, and only talked about the part related to Wang Yu: "Your father told your mother that if she doesn't divorce, your father will no longer object to your going to high school, and will even make money to pay for your tuition..."

"How can it be!"

Wang Yu suddenly stood up from the chair, and Jiang Baige was startled.

"Some time ago, I went back home temporarily because I left something at home... I overheard my father talking to an old uncle in our village... He said... After I graduate from junior high school, he will let me go out to work with the uncle's son. In two years, when the uncle sends the betrothal gift, he will marry me to his son!"

By the time she got to the end, Wang Yu was almost crying.

She was so scared that she went back to school directly and didn't even dare to go home.

From then on, her hopes were placed on her mother's divorce, but now, the lawyers from the city said that her mother didn't want to get a divorce!

She was in complete confusion.

The fried chicken, French fries, and cola she had just eaten, spicy, sweet, cold, and hot, suddenly started churning in her stomach, and the urge to vomit rose from her stomach all the way to her throat...

Before Jiang Baige could react, Wang Yu had already rushed to the bathroom.

Zhou Ling watched the adult and the child run away from their seats, and quickly returned to his seat with his cell phone.

She didn't know what was going on, so she could only wait. More than ten minutes later, Jiang Baige finally helped Wang Yu, whose face was pale and whose lips were completely bloodless, out of the bathroom.

"What's wrong with her?" Zhou Ling asked with concern.

"Things are a bit complicated..." Jiang Baige briefly explained the situation, and Zhou Ling's expression became serious. "How are you doing? Have you contacted Sister Dai?"

Zhou Ling nodded and looked at Wang Yu.
