HBWnovel Chapter 118 Scared.
Chapter 118 Scared.
It stands to reason that one should not ask a girl who is only seven years old, because she is too young to judge right from wrong, and she is easily influenced by the outside world, so their words are often not accepted.
But Jiang Bei couldn't help it, a person who even wanted to catch a mouse to ask him, how could he let go of this ready-made little insider?Originally, he also kept in mind that the main task of meeting Qiu Xingyu was to persuade her to recognize her mother, but when he sat down, the nature changed completely.
Fortunately, there is a bit of a windfall.
Jiang Bei leaned over and leveled with Qiu Xingyu: "Will disobedient people be sent away by the principal?"
"My sister told me so." Qiu Xingyu said crisply, "I don't want to be with strangers, so I have to be more obedient."
Jiang Nan wondered, "How can I send him away?"
Qiu Xingyu tilted his head, did not answer, and stretched out his hand towards Jiangnan: "I'm hungry."
Jiangnan suddenly remembered that the chocolate ball hadn't been given to her yet. He didn't know whether to call this little girl smart or stupid. She said she was stupid, but she also knew that one thing was exchanged for another. If she was smart, a chocolate ball could buy her off. Really easy to deceive.
Fortunately, there are chocolate balls in Jiangnan's pocket, which he bought for Jiang Bei at Christmas, so Jiang Bei didn't want to eat candy, but it was cheaper for him.
Jiang Nan put a sugar ball wrapped in gold foil into Qiu Xingyu's palm, watched the little girl take a bite, and asked, "Can you answer me now?"
"Adopt." The little girl said without thinking.
Jiang Nan laughed: "Isn't it a good thing to be adopted? Why do you say it is like punishment."
Qiu Xingyu gnawed on the chocolate, the corner of his mouth was stained with syrup, he glanced at Jiangnan for some unknown reason, imitating an adult's tone and said vaguely: "Is it a good thing to be adopted? I'm not my own, they won't treat me well, good luck If I can meet a normal person, I am unlucky. What if they beat me? I would rather stay in the orphanage. As long as I am obedient and earnestly complete the tasks given to me by the dean, no one will bully me, and there will be Chocolate and skirts... It doesn't matter if the task is wrong, my sister said, I am young, no one will punish me - these are the secrets my sister told me."
A secret is only worth a chocolate ball, and Jiang Nan thinks that if she buys her another princess dress, she might be able to reveal even bigger secrets.
Jiang Bei frowned when he heard this: "You learned this in the orphanage?"
Qiu Xingyu nodded proudly.
"Then let me ask you, what are the conditions for getting the chocolate and the skirt?" Jiang Bei paused, and then put it in a simpler and understandable way, "What do you have to do to get the reward?"
"Make a small report."
Everyone: "..."
This girl is genuine.
Jiang Nan asked: "How do you usually make small reports?"
After eating the chocolate ball, Qiu Xingyu wiped her hand on the padded jacket until it was clean, then she observed all three people present, and said, "I told you, will you report me to the dean?" ?”
Jiang Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I look like someone who can make small reports? Are you afraid of the dean?"
Qiu Xingyu remained silent.
"Then let me tell you, the dean is right next door to you. This place is full of police uncles, and your mother is outside. Even if you make a small report, the dean can't send you away, understand?" Jiang Jiang said, " Do you know what 'mother' is? She is different from the adopter and the dean, she will buy you candy and skirts unconditionally, and take care of you growing up, what else do you have to worry about?"
Qiu Xingyu seemed to understand, but Dou Da's head began to weigh which one was more beneficial to her, "mother" or "principal", and she had an answer sooner.
"The dean asked me to watch my younger siblings. My sister told me that it was just a small report. If they were not good, I would tell the dean, and the dean would call them to the office to teach them a lesson. This matter was previously handled by my sister. I did it, but my sister is gone, so I will do it."
Jiang Bei: "Just a lesson?"
"I don't know," Qiu Xingyu shrugged, "I won't go to see it."
"Send away all the people you have reported on?"
"No," Qiu Xingyu said, "Only those who want to run away and those who want to find the police uncle will be sent away. I found out, this is a punishment, I don't want to be adopted."
The policewoman gasped.
Jiang Bei finally understood why Qiu Xingyu became the "big sister" of the orphanage. All the children were afraid that she would make a small report to the director. The consequences of being a small report were said to be a lesson. Who knows, maybe It's a threat to scare the child out of his wits, and he has to be obedient if he is not obedient, and if he can't do it, he will be sent away directly.
And Qiu Xingyu is the "leader" who has been carefully selected. She is smart enough to know how to exchange one thing for another. At the same time, she is timid and afraid of being abandoned. She wants many things-expensive ones. Handmade chocolates, expensive princess dresses, exquisite dolls, all in all, she is indeed a good puppet candidate.
Hearing this, Jiang Bei's mood was very complicated. He couldn't decide whether Qiu Xingyu was a victim or a participant. The only thing he could be sure of was that she was a badly taught child.
"Is this what my sister taught you to do?"
"Yes," Qiu Xingyu didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and sat on the chair shaking his feet, "My sister said that's how she came here."
"Are you still doing inheritance of this thing?" Jiang Nan scoffed, then looked at Jiang Bei, "Deputy Jiang, my sister said that her 'skills' were passed on to her by her sister, you'd better pass on her sister's generation as well." Dig again, maybe there will be surprises."
Jiang Bei felt quite a headache. What Qiu Xingyu said contained more information than the archives of the orphanage, and at the same time, he was not sure of its authenticity.
He took out all the candies from Jiangnan's pocket and put them all in front of Qiu Xingyu. He thought the next question was worth a handful of candies.
"What will happen to the child who is sent away? Has the dean or sister told you?"
After not eating for a whole day, Qiu Xingyu stared straight at Tang. She licked her lips and said honestly, "No, I don't know."
Jiang Bei decisively took the candies back, not keeping one for her.
Jiangnan: "..."
And this operation?
He thought Qiu Xingyu would cry, but he didn't. The little girl seemed to understand that if you want to gain something, you have to pay first. This is what she learned in the orphanage. Give her a reward.
So sad——Jiangnan thought.
Qiu Xingyu was still shaking his feet, his eyes were glued to Jiang Bei's hand, he sighed like an adult, and said, "Okay, but I can tell you other secrets."
Jiang Bei: "For example?"
Qiu Xingyu remained silent again.
Jiang Bei saw through her little thoughts in a second: "Talk before giving, just like you did in the orphanage."
"Oh," Qiu Xingyu rated Jiang Bei silently in his heart, thinking that he was not as easy to deceive as Jiang Nan, who gave her the candy without saying anything, and Jiang Bei still had to bargain with her. It turned out that Jiang Bei was the stupidest one. .
Qiu Xingyu figured this out, and immediately turned his target to the more deceitful Jiangnan, and didn't want to negotiate terms with Jiang Bei.
Jiang Nan laughed: "Sister, my family status is very low, and all the sugar is given to my uncle."
Qiu Xingyu pursed his lips in disappointment, and turned to Jiang Bei again without struggling: "The secret is... the adopter is contacted by the dean."
Jiang Bei didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Qiu Xingyu began to doubt Jiang Bei's IQ, and she didn't feel that it was the reason why she didn't speak clearly. She rolled her eyes and explained mercifully to these stupid uncles and aunts: "It's not that adopters come to the orphanage to choose Brothers and sisters, but the dean decides who to punish, so he asks someone to take him away. I have heard their conversation, and the pair of uncles and aunts said to the dean, "Thank you for contacting us, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Do it', the dean replied, 'You're welcome, there will be no major problems if the procedures are completed, don't worry,' and then the uncles and aunts took the younger brother away."
"Of course, not all of them are like this. There are also people who come to the orphanage to pick out children in person. I know they are the ones who actually come to adopt them, but there are very few of them, and even if they are selected, the director may not release them. I don't want to gamble. I told you, you are not allowed to say it, the dean doesn't know that I eavesdrop."
Jiang Bei nodded, agreeing to her, and gave her the sugar as previously agreed, and asked the policewoman to bring in a dinner by the way.
Afterwards, Jiang Bei and Jiang Nan looked at each other for a second, and agreed that this was the most convincing sentence Qiu Xingyu had said so far—her small report matched what Cheng Qiong reflected!
Cheng Qiong once said that when adopting children in the orphanage, some of them can be chosen, and some cannot be chosen. The dean even refused her to adopt Cheng Ye.Today, there is a rationale for that strange adoption rule.
——In fact, there are only a handful of real adopters. Even if there are, there is a high probability that they will be rejected like Cheng Qiong and go to the next family. The ones who are lucky enough to be adopted are the smoke bombs released by Qiu Zongfu. The mixture of true and false can deceive people, such as Gu Qing and Cheng Ye.
But what's more, it's the fake adopters that Qiu Zongfu contacted actively. With the information, they can take away a child swaggeringly under the bright sky.
Thinking more deeply, Cheng Qiong is Cheng Ye who was adopted almost 18 years ago, while Qiu Xingyu was less than ten years old, but the situation reflected by the two broke through the long river of time. It can be called a miraculous match. It is hard to imagine such a situation When did it start.
After all, Qiu Xingyu was young, so it was not easy to straighten her tongue and say such a long paragraph. After she finished speaking, she took a big breath, sipped the sweet milk in the cup, and seemed to be in a much better mood.
After she licked off the milk froth on her lips, Jiang Bei asked again: "Does the task given to you by the dean include watching Brother Qiu Feng?"
"Of course," Qiu Xingyu said proudly, "They are all under my control."
Jiang Bei didn't want to guess how Qiu Xingyu's brain circuits developed anymore, he just asked, "Then can you tell me what happened on Christmas Eve? Why did brother Qiu Feng fall down the stairs?"
Qiu Xingyu was silent, this time the silence was not because she wanted to exchange information for candy, but she was really silent, even if Jiang Nan said to buy her a skirt later, she would not speak again.
There was an eerie silence in the room, and Jiang Bei couldn't wait for her answer, so he took the lead to break the deadlock: "Brother Qiu Feng fell down the stairs, you were involved, right? And you know it's wrong, but you still I did it, but now I am afraid that I will be punished if I speak out.”
Qiu Xingyu tilted his head and looked at him.
This little girl is smarter than she imagined, she even knows how to avoid the serious and ignore the minor, and she chooses to avoid talking about things that are not good for her.Jiang Bei suspected that the reason why she said so much just now was because she knew that the dean had been arrested and knew that she could never go back, so she had to use information to earn a wave of performance in order to obtain a new umbrella.
"You should have been afraid of being sent away by the principal since you can remember," Jiang Bei softened his voice, "Didn't you ever think that other children would also be afraid? Maybe you thought about it, but fear overcame your conscience, you Afraid of being sent away like them, afraid of facing an unknown life, so you are at the mercy of others, and you listen to what your sister tells you, 'you will not be punished when you are young', you are more unscrupulous, but in the end, you yourself If you don't believe what my sister said, otherwise why don't you dare to admit that you bullied brother Qiu Feng?"
Qiu Xingyu straightened her tilted head, met Jiang Bei's gaze, and she lowered her eyelids vainly.
Jiang Bei suddenly reached out to wipe the milk froth from the corner of her mouth for her, and said in a gentle voice, "You are very smart, you understand that you will be punished for doing wrong things, and rewards for doing things right, but not everyone has the right to punish you. There are clear provisions in the law on what kind of punishment should be given for your mistakes, and some of them are applicable to children like you. If you go beyond this limit, don’t say you are afraid, we don’t agree. You are still young, and you have time to correct your mistakes. You don’t want to keep Be a bad boy?"
Qiu Xingyu shook her head, then nodded again, and then shook her head nervously, probably because she felt that her behavior was stupid, so she simply didn't move, only her feet were under the table and kicked the table legs once and for all. After 10 minutes, she said:
"I put a bell on my brother. I found that my brother was watching the news. He wanted to find the police uncle. This is not allowed by the dean. My task is to keep an eye on them. But my brother runs fast. I am afraid that I will not find him. So I put a bell on him, and then I told the dean, and the dean said that I don’t need to look for it, someone will find my brother, and let me perform on stage first.”
Jiang Bei: "Is there anyone?"
Qiu Xingyu said "hmm": "There was a guest that night."
