Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 302 Selection

   Chasing the little girl was a man in his thirties. He approached a few steps and caught the girl who was about to run.

   "Dare to run, come back with me!"

   Lin could not help frowning when he saw that the man was fierce.

  Chi Caiyun and Zhu Jiayu were both anxious and asked in unison, "Who are you?"

  's experience of falling into the wrong hands makes them particularly sensitive to this situation.

  A big man catches a little girl in the street, what is he trying to do?

  Faced with the questioning of the two, the man's fierce expression turned polite: "I am her father, this girl bumped into a few girls, I will compensate them for her."

   "Is he really your father?" Chi Caiyun couldn't believe the man's words and asked the little girl he was pulling.

   The little girl was only eleven or twelve years old. Although she didn't want to go back with the man, she didn't have the courage to lie, so she nodded with a pale face.

   "Since you are her father, why are you so fierce?" Chi Caiyun frowned and asked the man.

  The man was born in poverty, but he didn't dare to offend the well-dressed girls, so he said with a good temper, "It's this girl who is disobedient and runs around if she's not satisfied with the arrangements at home."

   "Arrangement? What arrangement?" Chi Caiyun asked.

   "Girl, this is our family business..." The man scolded nosy in his heart, showing a bit of dissatisfaction on his face.

  It is one thing not to dare to offend, but no matter how poor he is, he is not the servant of these little girls.

  Chi Caiyun has a coddled temperament. Not only did he not feel embarrassed when he heard this, but he became angry: "It's nothing if you don't want to say anything. Your daughter bumped into me just now. Didn't you mean to pay for her? Just say it's useless, lose money."

   Facing the girl's white and tender hand, the man was dumbfounded: "Gu, girl, my family can't open the pot. I beg you to have a lot of hands, raise your hand..."

  Chi Caiyun snorted coldly: "Don't buckle your hat, I'm not an adult."

   The little girl seemed to have calmed down and whispered: "My father wanted to send me to someone else's house as a child bride, I don't want to..."

  Tong bride?

   Lin several people could not help frowning.

   With their background, it is naturally far away from such a thing.

   Zhu Jiayu pointed at the little girl in shock: "How old is she, at most eleven?"

   The man smiled wryly: "I'm twelve, not too young."

   "Twelve is not too young?" Zhu Jiayu was about to say more, when Chen Yi gently pulled his sleeve.

The man secretly scolded the little girls for not knowing the sufferings of the world, and pulled at the hem of the patched clothes: "Her mother died of illness. She owed a lot of money for the treatment, and left five children. Dani is the oldest. Yes, people are willing to give a dowry of eight taels of silver. Dani used to be the first lady, and she doesn't need to be a slave. I can't feel sorry for her as a father. starving……"

  The man said, wiping away his tears.

  Chi Caiyun wanted to say that you would marry your twelve-year-old daughter in eight taels, but after listening to the man's words, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

   She looked at Lin Hao subconsciously.

   That experience of sharing adversity gave her a deep trust in Lin Hao.

  Lin Hao looked at the little girl with a gentle expression: "Is that so?"

   The little girl lowered her head in shame, her hands were disturbed, and she stumbled in her speech: "But, the child in that family is only seven years old, and she is a little stupid..."

   She tugged at the man's sleeve and cried, "Dad, please, I don't want to marry a seven-year-old fool, I will work hard, and I can still make money by washing clothes!"

   Several people's eyes fell on the little girl's hands. It was obviously this season, but the little girl's fingers were swollen like small radishes, which was caused by being immersed in water for a long time.

  The man's voice became louder: "How much money do you get for washing clothes from morning to night? We still haven't repaid our family's foreign debt? Are you watching your younger brother and sister starve to death?"

  The man is really angry.

  How can he support his five children by working alone when his family is empty and he owes foreign debts.

   "I, I will find a way to make more money——" The little girl struggled, but there was a compromise in her eyes.

   At this time, there were already many people watching the fun, and most of these people's comments came to her ears, and most of them accused her of being ignorant.

   Is she really wrong?

   The little girl thought blankly.

Seeing that the girl was relaxed, the man softened his tone: "Damn girl, you are so good at making money? A big man like Dad keeps working and can't make a few money, what can you little girl do? Listening to Dad's words, when you go to Li's house to eat and drink spicy food, it is not much better than the family without a way to survive..."

   The little girl looked tangled, her sparse eyelashes trembled, and she burst into tears: "I—"

   The phrase "I am willing" is like a mountain. It made her breathless when she said it, and she couldn't breathe without saying it.

  Chi Caiyun couldn't stand it any longer, and said with a cold face: "Forget it, forget it, I'll give you eight taels of silver, don't let your daughter be a child bride."

  The man and the little girl couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this, they couldn't believe that there was such a good thing.

  The little girl dared to resist the family, she was a shrewd and shrewd person, she recovered before the man, so she had to kneel before Chi Caiyun.

  A hand reached out, stopping her movement.

   The little girl looked at Lin Hao blankly.

   This soft-spoken sister suddenly stopped her, did she not want her friends to give her money?

Lin Hao saw the little girl's nervousness and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence, my flower shop is short of people. If you are willing to come, the monthly salary will be 500 wen, and it will be higher when you do well in the future. It's just that if you Come to the shop, my friend's eight taels of silver can't be asked for."

   Five hundred wen a month is six taels of silver a year, which is by no means low for such a young girl. But on the other side was eight taels of silver in cash, which was a huge sum for the little girl's family.

  Lin really wanted to see the little girl's choice, and even more wanted to see her father's choice.

   Of course, we will have to investigate the father and daughter who met by chance in the future to see if it is really accidental.

   "I...I want to go to work..." The little girl glanced at the man quickly, with remorse on her face.

   She felt selfish.

   But if she has 500 wen every month, she only spends a little on food, and the rest is left to her father, so she can support her younger brothers and sisters, right?

  Lin looks good to men.

  The man looked a little tangled, and asked boldly, "Where is the flower dew in the girl's house?"

  Lin Hao slightly raised the corner of his lips.

   It seems that this father is not completely disregarding the life and death of his daughter.

"It's on Wanqing Street. If you come to work, you can sign the employment contract." Lin Hao saw that the man didn't dare to say anything, so he ordered Baozhu, "Take them to the shop to have a look, if you sign the contract today, you can come tomorrow. Work. If the family is really difficult, you can draw two months' wages in advance..."

  The father and daughter followed Baozhu, and the good mood of Lin several people shopping was gone, replaced by an indescribable heaviness.
