Cheating dad, gambling mom, I'm reborn with a smile

The beaten girl was in tears, but no one here would pay for her tears.

Tears are greeted only by a barbed whip.

The two girls quickly picked all the vegetables in the bag. Gu Jin cleaned up the fallen leaves on the ground, while the other girl who was beaten wiped her tears and handed the washed vegetables to the chef.

The chef glanced at her tears and said expressionlessly, "Tears are useless here, wipe them away."

The little girl's tears fell even harder.

How could she know why she was here?

The chef sighed. The little girl had been beaten so many times but still didn't learn her lesson.

His eyes fell on Gu Jin who was cleaning the floor. At the same age as him, Gu Jin accepted things well and completed the tasks at hand beyond the expectations without making any noise.

Gu Jin was not trying to avoid making a fuss. She just knew that making a fuss would not make these people sympathize with her, but would instead result in a more severe beating.

"Little sister, green onion and ginger." the chef called again.

Gu Jin dug out the onions and ginger from the warehouse, peeled the onions and washed them, scraped the skin of the ginger with a knife, cleaned up the foreign objects on the ground, cut them into slices, put them in a white bowl and plate and handed them to the chef.

The chef was a man in his fifties. When he saw the slices folded by Gu Jin, he glanced at Xiaodong who was standing aside as a pillar.

The gap between people...

“Do you make this often at home?” The chef lit the fire, poured in the oil, and added the green onions and ginger all in one go.

Gu Jin stood by and had a chance to catch his breath. "No, I'll get it after seeing you do it a few times."

The chef glanced at her with satisfaction.

On the third day after Gu Jin came, he was already able to serve as the chef's assistant, cutting and washing vegetables. Sometimes, when the chef was too busy, he could even help cook.

After making five big pot dishes, the chef finally had a chance to catch his breath.

Gu Jin brought out the dishes that had been reserved in advance, placed them on the chopping board in the kitchen, and brought in three stools.

At this time, the people who are looking after them will also go to eat.

This is the only time they can communicate.

"Uncle, you have been cooking here." Gu Jin was eating, seemingly chatting casually, but actually trying to get information.

The uncle could see through the girl's thoughts and reminded her, "Don't ask others this question."

What I mean is, even if I don't expose you this time, someone else may do the same next time.

Gu Jin shut up angrily.

She could see that this uncle was a good man. When she and Xiaodong first came, they were ignorant and those people didn't know how to be gentle with women.

He cracked the whip and started whipping them. It was the head chef who called them to the kitchen.

Schedule tasks.

"Uncle, can we still go out?" Xiaodong said with tears in her eyes.

She doesn't want to stay here forever.

The uncle paused in his eating and turned to look out the window. The palm-sized glass window was their only chance to see the sunlight.

go out?

An unattainable dream.

"I don't know about vertically, but horizontally at any time." The uncle gave Xiaodong a warning look.

Xiaodong shuddered all over, and his hands holding the rice couldn't help shaking.

The uncle ended the conversation, quickly finished his meal, and continued to work.

Gu Jin and Xiao Dong looked at each other and quickly finished their meal.

The rest of the time is still spent washing vegetables, preparing food, and cleaning the kitchen.

So, cycle.

At night, return to the dormitory.

Xiaodong, who had returned to the dormitory ahead of her, was doing push-ups on the floor right at the entrance. It was difficult for Gu Jin to ignore her.

"Xiaodong, what are you doing?" Gu Jin looked at the women sitting on the bed warily.

She arrived here about three days ago, and she wasn't quite sure what happened.

She only remembered going to school with Jiuyue, and then meeting a few elderly people who came to the city to look for their families and had no food to eat.

She had seen this in later generations. This was basically a scam. They would lure people into deserted corners, drug them, and sell them to the mountains.

She pulled September and ran, and then seemed to lose consciousness.

Wake up, right here in this little kitchen.

Everyone calls her "Little Sister" and no one asks her real name.

This place doesn't look like the illegal factory where she worked in her previous life, but more like the kitchen of a factory.

I don't know what happened in September.

"Are you the new one?" The woman was holding a whip in her hand and looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with.

Gu Jin narrowed her eyes and took a few steps back, but those people got there before her and closed the dormitory door in advance.

"Yes."

The woman holding the whip raised her chin and said, "Do push-ups with her."

The tone is imperative.

"I'm tired and don't want to do push-ups." Gu Jin walked around Xiaodong and went straight to his bed.

"Shuangjie, she actually didn't listen to you." The person who spoke diligently massaged Shuangjie's legs.

Gu Jin recognized the lackey, her roommate. When he first arrived, he tried to be friendly with her, and his words were all tests of her.

From her words, Gu Jin realized that, except for those in the same group, no one here knew each other's work.

"You, push-ups." Sister Shuang seemed to have exhausted her patience.

Gu Jin was tired after a long day and didn't want to waste time talking to her.

Being locked up here and getting beaten is already bad enough, but I also have to listen to the confusing speech of an unknown sister.

Gu Jin's behavior angered the so-called Twin Sisters. She waved her hand, and all her subordinates surrounded Gu Jin.

He clamped Gu Jin's arms and forced her to do push-ups.

Gu Jin raised his head and looked at Shuang Jie stubbornly, "Are you sure you want me to do push-ups for you?"

Gu Jin raised the corner of his mouth in an unintentional smile.

Shuangjie raised her lips slightly, "Of course."

Gu Jin narrowed his eyes and hooked his finger, "Come here."

Shuangjie subconsciously stretched her head forward. Gu Jin seized the opportunity and clamped her head with both hands. Shuangjie was caught off guard and her weapon was snatched away. Gu Jin held the whip in his hand and after a while, the whip with barbs wrapped around Shuangjie's neck.

Shuangjie's face turned red from holding it in.

"Let me go." Shuangjie's hands were covered in blood from being pierced by the whip, but she didn't dare to let go.

Gu Jin tightened the whip in her hand and said lightly, "I just want to live well, don't mess with me, otherwise..." She sneered, tightened the whip in her hand, with coldness in her eyes.

She exuded a chill that was not suitable for her age.

Everyone was stunned.

Xiaodong looked at Gu Jin in disbelief. She didn't expect that the silent Gu Jin would dare to resist Shuangjie.

Shuangjie is the boss here, and every newcomer who comes here has to accept her challenges.

When they first arrived, the two sisters were sent out on a mission.

I just came back and I'm here to deal with these newcomers.

There is ice water after the push-ups.

It's not just an ice bucket, but you have to come out of the ice bucket and stand in the dormitory without clothes for a whole night.

Everyone in the dormitory has experienced this.

Shuangjie was still stubborn, "I won't let you go."

Gu Jin curled the corner of his mouth and said, "That's easy."

"It shouldn't be a big deal if someone dies here." Gu Jin curled his lips and tightened the whip in his hand.

The whip was like a snake, and it tightened suddenly at Gu Jin's command.

Shuangjie's breathing became weaker and weaker.

Finally, when she couldn't bear it anymore, she said weakly, "Let me go."
