She had a long scar running from the corner of her eye to the corner of her mouth. The scar looked ferocious, as if it had been there for some time, but it was still a shocking sight to behold.
The woman glanced at me. Her expression didn't change, probably because she was used to being treated that way.
"Mm, go ahead." Li Zhen replied as she pulled me along to walk outside.
I looked back as I was being pulled along by Li Zhen. The female worker was slowly pushing the cart to the other side of the workshop. I saw her back again, but this time, her back was completely different from what I saw just now.
I looked around in shock, trying to find the familiar back I had just seen, but there was nothing in the whole workshop.
"Jiang Rou, what's wrong with you?" Li Zhen took my hand and asked me. She seemed a little worried about me.
"Sorry, I'm a bit nervous." I put my hand on my chest and felt my heart beat. I wanted to calm down, but mine seemed to be going against me.
"How did the girl's face get hurt?" I asked Li Zhen, "She's still so young."
In the end, she said, "Previously, their whole family worked here. I heard from my father that her father's cooking skills were not bad, but he has a problem with that, after drinking wine, he would beat up his wife and children. Furthermore, he is very tall, and most people can't even persuade him, so his wife and children are often injured."
"Is he dead?" I asked her, hoping that he would die. A man who beats his wife and children is not fit to live in this world.
Li Zhen looked at me and said, "He's dead." Then she wanted to sigh and say, "One night the man hit someone too hard again, and I heard he hit them hard, as if he was going to kill his wife, and when the neighbors tried to talk him out of it, he even hit the neighbors, and then the man was going to cut his wife with a knife, and his daughter went up to stop him, and that was it."
"Pitiful." "No," I said.
Li Zhen nodded her head, "That man died from the cold after he drank too much, after he died, his wife would not be able to do anything, and after a few days, his daughter had no choice but to work here, she has no place to go."
Listening to Li Zhen's words, I felt that the girl's fate was really pitiful, but the girl's eyes made me afraid. They were eyes that were similar to mine and Xiao Li's.
"Li Zhen, is there any surveillance in your workshop?" I asked Li Zhen.
"Yes." Li Zhen replied.
"Alright, then I'll be there before I complete the Cheng family's order." I said, I'm really worried.
Li Zhen glanced at me, as though she felt that I was making a big fuss out of nothing, but in the end, she still said, "Okay."
That girl's figure was still lingering in my mind. I kept feeling like I had missed something, but I couldn't think of anything at all. Just as Li Zhen and I were eating at the cafeteria, I suddenly remembered that girl who was previously hiding in a corner by herself.
"Li Zhen, that girl is still very young. The scar on her face should have had a huge impact on her life. I said as I picked up a slice of potato chips.
Li Zhen nodded at me and said, "Indeed, her mother is very good-looking. Previously, she said that she wanted to transplant the skin on her face, but she didn't mention it again."
"Transplantation would also cost a lot of money." "No," I said.
"Yes." Li Zhen nodded and did not speak further.
The girl was very quiet, so quiet that it was almost transparent. It was as if she was surrounded by a vacuum.
I looked at her and felt sorry for her. It wasn't her fault, but all the damage was done to her.
I couldn't help but stand up with my plate.
"Xiao Rou, where are you going?" Li Zhen looked up at me strangely. She seemed to be shocked by my actions.
I smiled and said, "I'd like to have dinner with her."
Li Zhen looked at me, a look of confusion flashed past her eyes. I thought she would understand my actions, but unfortunately she did not.
I thought back to what Cheng Ruojun and Xia Ze had told me. I was too stupid, I would always believe others because of some strange reason.
"You …" I walked over to the girl and set the tray down.
The girl paused, then looked up at me. She didn't say anything, just looked like she was about to leave.
"Don't leave." I said, "I want to eat with you. You just started eating. You can't finish it so quickly."
She was staring at me, but I couldn't see the malice in her eyes. Her eyes were shining, very moving, but I also knew how an adult could be moved by such a thing.
"Can I come with you?" Li Zhen also came over, but she had already put away her shocked expression just now.
"Of course." "No," I said.
"It must have been hard." I asked the girl. "I think you're thin. You should eat more."
The girl didn't say anything. She just continued eating, but I didn't intend to let her answer my question. I understood why she kept people at arm's length.
"I admire you." I said, "It must have been hard for you to come out to work at such a young age."
The girl still didn't say anything, but she picked up the spoon faster.
I stopped talking and lowered my head to eat.
"Have you finished eating?" I saw her pick up the tray as if to leave, and I couldn't help but ask.
I always have a tendency to feel sympathy for girls who are similar to me. I've experienced all sorts of painful things, and I don't want anyone else to experience them, too. If one day I can take control of my own destiny, then I will definitely help girls to work. Many girls are not bad, they don't have the opportunity, just like me, I don't have the opportunity to go to university.
"Don't look at me like that." "I feel sick." Her words were cold.
