The two of them looked over and found that the voice originated from the young girl's bosom. The girl relaxed her arms and discovered that the little Hairy Ball in her bosom was eating the jade pendant on her neck with its two furry little claws.
"Ah —" Seeing this scene, the young girl cried out in alarm.
Zhong Ming also quickly hugged Little White away from the girl's embrace. He wanted to snatch the jade pendant from Little White's mouth, but it was already too late. Little White had already eaten three-quarters of the whole piece of jade, and the last piece still had this crescent-shaped bite mark on it.
Zhong Ming felt a burst of cold sweat.
"This is the only thing mother left for me …" The girl looked at the piece of debris tied to a red rope around her neck and could not help but feel a little sad.
"I'm sorry!" Zhong Ming said somewhat embarrassedly.
The girl was sad for a while before she seemed to think of something and became resolute.
"Actually, Mother has already left me and Father for many years. That's because I'm still very young. I've been thinking about her for so many years that I can't even remember what she looks like now. I've always carried this piece of jade with me because I was hoping that one day my mother would come back. But how could a dead man come back? "I was too dumb …" As the young girl spoke, her eyes filled with tears, she was then forced back by the young girl.
"That's why I have to learn to be strong!"
"Life is very difficult for a person, especially for a weak girl like me. It's normal to be bullied. "If you weren't here that day, I really don't know if I would still be alive!" As the young lady spoke, the light in her eyes flickered, causing Zhong Ming's heart to throb uncontrollably.
"Just call it over. I don't think your mother wants you to be unhappy." As Zhong Ming said this, he also felt an inexplicable sense of bitterness.
Lil 'White looked at Zhong Ming with a wronged expression and then looked at the girl. It seemed that it did not understand why it would make others sad just by eating something for itself.
However, from this matter, Zhong Ming found out that Xiao Bai actually ate jade. This way, he would be able to find food for Xiao Bai even more clearly.
The young girl had bought so many ingredients that she was almost unable to carry the big and small bags of food anymore.
Zhong Ming helped them, and the two of them carried their bags back to the girl's house.
This was also a house in the suburbs, but it was even more run-down than Zhong Ming's. Small houses were built side by side. The distance between the houses was very small, so only one person could pass through. Faang Qing and Zhong Ming carried a lot of things in their hands, and had no choice but to pass through the alley in the middle of the house one by one. At the back, there was a small space. It was Faang Qing's courtyard.
Faang Qing's house should be the worst house in the whole area, because her mother passed away too early. His father took care of Faang Qing grew up by himself. He had to go out to earn money and also have to wash and cook, so he could not find a good job. He was so tired that the body of a man in his forties had already collapsed. One was sick in three days and the other was sick in five days. He simply could not work anymore.
During this period of time, his father's illness had already improved a lot, but he still could not do any more physical work, so Faang Qing went out to set up a stall by himself to take care of his father.
"Qing Qing!" "Did you come back?" Inside the house, Father Fang heard a sound outside and shouted from the inside.
"Daddy! "It's me!" With that, Faang Qing entered the house and put down the things in his hands. He then quickly took the things in Zhong Ming's hands.
"Dad, today I brought back the benefactor who saved me last time!"
Faang Qing's father had long heard his daughter about what happened last time. If no one came to save him, he might have already lost his daughter. Faang Qing's father was also very supportive of his daughter finding her benefactor and returning the favor.
"Benefactor, please sit, quickly!" Faang Qing's father hurriedly rushed out of the room and invited Zhong Ming to sit down. "My home is too simple and crude. I am afraid I have neglected benefactor." Faang Qing's father felt a little embarrassed as he said this. After all, he really didn't have the ability to let his daughter live a good life.
Faang Qing's cooking skills were excellent, and before long, the entire table of delicious food was prepared.
As family members rarely stir-fried so many dishes, Faang Qing had already taken out all of the family's dishes. The delicious dishes on this table were more sumptuous than the ones the father and daughter had on New Year's Day.
"Hurry up and try it!" Faang Qing looked at Zhong Ming nervously, afraid that he would not taste what he had done.
"Delicious, you guys eat too!" Zhong Ming said with a smile.
Seeing that Zhong Ming liked to eat, Faang Qing's heart was finally at ease. He hurriedly gave his father a few more chopsticks, because the family's current income was not much, thus a meal like today's was a huge improvement for father and daughter.
"Are you still in school?" Zhong Ming asked while eating.
"Yeah, but I'll be graduating soon!" After graduation, I can take my graduation certificate and get a better job! At that time, Daddy will be able to live a good life with me. " After saying that, the independent girl's eyes flashed again.
Little White also looked at Zhong Ming with its big eyes blinking in satisfaction.
"Does it want to eat?" It was only then that Faang Qing's father saw the little head peeking out from under Zhong Ming's collar, and mistook it for a cat.
"It?" "I've eaten!" Zhong Ming and Faang Qing looked at each other and silently laughed. It confused Faang Qing's father. Where did the kitten not want to eat the big fish and the big meat?
The atmosphere was very cheerful. Faang Qing started to feel a little uncomfortable, but as the two people talked about more and more, they started to treat Zhong Ming as a good friend. A big brother who was good to them.
Everyone was eating happily when suddenly, Little White, who was in Zhong Ming's embrace, became agitated and roared deeply. Just as Zhong Ming was about to bring it out, a series of knocks on the door sounded out. The previous joyous atmosphere was instantly broken.
"Who is it?" Faang Qing's father asked while trembling.
"Cut the crap!" Hurry and open the door! " The voice outside was very domineering, followed by the sound of someone smashing the door and kicking the door open.
Faang Qing's father walked over and opened the door, only to see someone directly stepping in, pushing Faang Qing's father down to the ground. Soon after, six or seven people walked in and sat down at the table.
The man was 1.8 meters tall, slender and tall. He wore a large black hat on his head, and was followed by a few brawny lackeys.
"When will you be able to pay off the money you owe!?" "How long has it been delayed?" The man seemed to be the leader of the group. Right now, he was sitting on a chair beside the table with one foot on the chair beside him.
"Not bad! Such a good meal and he dares to say he has no money? Hurry up and take out the money! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! "
Faang Qing's father crawled up from the ground, and said with a pleading expression: "Today, it's to treat our benefactor to a meal. This is also a month of our living expenses, please tolerance. Little Qing will be working in the second half of the year. When the time comes, I'll return the money to you first.
"Do you want to owe me money?" If you have money, you don't have to pay it back? "I think all of you have hardened your bones!" As he spoke, the leading man swung both of his arms and flipped the entire table onto the floor. The dishes and broth on the table were scattered all over the place. The entire room was in a mess.
Just as Faang Qing wanted to go up and pick up the bowl, he was pushed away by the person who came up to pick it up. The object in his hand fell to the ground and the sharp piece of porcelain carved a bloody wound into Faang Qing's weak palm.
"Shameless old fool!" If you don't return the money you owe today, then don't blame me for not getting lucky! " As he spoke, the leading man used a wooden stick to smash towards Faang Qing's television. Although it wasn't anything valuable, it was still the most precious thing in the family.
"Bam!"
Before the man could touch the wooden stick, he felt his hand go numb. The wooden stick fell to the ground, and with a 'bang' sound, the wooden stick bounced up and hit the man's foot. The man was in so much pain that he couldn't help but grimace. At this moment, a cup beside the wooden stick shattered beside the man.
"Who the f * * k threw a cup at me!" The pain on the ninja's foot made him angry.
Zhong Ming was still sitting in his seat with his arms crossed and his body leaning backwards, as he sat down in a very contented manner. It was as if he didn't see the fierceness in the man's gaze.
"Hit him!" He was so manly that he was about to erupt with anger. There was actually someone who dared to make a move.
"How much do they owe you?" Seeing a few burly men rushing towards him, Zhong Ming said indifferently.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang ~ ~ ~"
With a few muffled thuds, the few men fell to the ground one by one.
The leader, and his father all stared at Zhong Ming in disbelief.
The leading man originally wanted to take care of Zhong Ming, he never thought that the brat was actually so powerful.
The people around him could be counted as a group of one to ten masters. However, he hadn't expected that these few people would be effortlessly taken down by this little brat in front of him.
"Twenty — — twenty thousand!" The man subconsciously lowered his aura. The aura he had just exuded had completely disappeared. He was actually stuttering when he spoke.
"Tomorrow morning at 8 AM, come and collect the money!" Zhong Ming said as if nothing had happened.
The man was skeptical, but the situation in front of him was not something he could control. Since this pervert promised to pay back the money through farming, it was fine as long as the money wasn't blind!
"Good!" I'll give you face! "Retreat!" As he spoke, the man gestured to the surrounding people to retreat. The few men struggled to crawl on the ground for a long time before finally getting up. Just as he was about to turn around and leave …
"Wait!"
Everyone gathered the fellows that they had on their hands and prepared to leave. However, they were stopped by Zhong Ming.
"Leave the money first!" Zhong Ming's voice was light, without a single trace of emotion.
"What?" "What?" The leading man and the others were stunned. What money did he have left?
"You guys destroyed Faang Qing's family's table, chair, and furniture, scaring a young girl in the prime of her life to the point of crying and injuring her palm. Why don't you give me some compensation?" No one would have thought it was strange if Zhong Ming's words came from the mouth of a virgin, a hoodlum who drank a lot of water, but now, from the mouth of a boy dressed in a clean and refined manner, it gave a comical feeling.
"My men must have been injured!" The leading man was on the verge of tears as he silently cursed in his heart. In the end, he didn't dare to say anything.
However, all of this was just a facade. The strength of this young man in front of him was not the same as a hoodlum's. Thus, no one dared to be negligent. They quickly took out money from their pockets.
