After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 64 That Little Colored Hope
Today's two chapters are a bit difficult to write, and the update time will be slower.

-------------------------

Li Zhuo arrived at the underground garage of the office building, got in the car and set off, first going around the Dongdu apartment.

This is also a relatively bustling place. Li Zhuo was dazzled by the vehicles traveling in Sichuan and the bustling crowd, but he didn't find He Xiaobai's figure.

This will not work, and we cannot cast the net aimlessly.

Li Zhuo drove straight to the "half-paper love letter", entered the store and asked the front desk.

A young girl at the front desk explained that Miss Xiaobai hadn't come to work a few days ago, and she didn't come today either.

Li Zhuo briefly told the little girl about the situation.

The little girl panicked when she saw the scene, and hurriedly called a colleague named Jingjing who lived with her before.

The news that came was disappointing, He Xiaobai did not go there.

Li Zhuo asked the front desk to ask her colleagues where He Xiaobai might go when he was in a bad mood.

The colleagues over there couldn't explain clearly either, and didn't know where she would go.

The little girl called and asked a few colleagues who had a good relationship with He Xiaobai, but they all said they hadn't seen her.

Li Zhuo was stunned, if He Xiaobai was just walking aimlessly on the street, or looking for a park or something to stop while walking, how should he find it.

But waiting here wasn't his style either.

After Li Zhuo came out of the shop, he guessed while driving.

Xiaobai doesn't have a car or a mobile phone. Now that everyone doesn't carry cash, she can't spend normally without a mobile phone. She is unlikely to leave by means of transportation.

That said, she's more likely to be near Dongdu's apartment.

Li Zhuo drove back again, rolled down the car window and circled the streets around her, and got out of the car from time to time to ask the staff in the shops on the street.

But without exception, no one can provide any clues.

After dark, I still have no clue.

Do you want to call the police?

Li Zhuo parked the car on the side of the road, supported his forehead, and thought carefully about where she might go.

This girl's life is simple, except for work, she just goes home to rest, she is not the kind of person who likes to play around, and she is suddenly emotionally stimulated, and she is unlikely to have a plan in advance, so where else can she go?

Yeah, where else can I go?
Are you going to find him?

Li Zhuo lowered his head and recalled how he got along with He Xiaobai. He could feel that she liked him, but she was a little cautious and didn't know how to express it.

Maybe it was because she was afraid of being rejected, or maybe she felt that she was not good enough for him, and she had a low self-esteem, so she never took the initiative to ask him out.

But when the two get along, she takes care of Li Zhuo's emotions—

Send Li Zhuo away, she will watch at the door until she is out of sight;

If she drank too much, she went to find honey water or fruit to sober up; if she had a headache, she gave it a massage; if she couldn't sleep well watching a movie by herself, she leaned her shoulders to let him lean on...

Even when she was taking advantage of her with flattery, saying that her feet in stockings looked good, she just hid them shyly, and when she leaned into her arms, she could feel her heartbeat a lot faster...

It's all the bits and pieces of the daily relationship, nothing earth-shattering, nothing like each other, plain, but very warm.

This girl is actually the kind of woman who is suitable for living. She is not romantic, not hypocritical, self-motivated, and obviously worries more. When she is with others, she must be the one who gives more.

To put it bluntly, a man who is with her will be happy.

There is a kind of woman in the world, no matter who she marries, as long as that person is not someone who doesn't know how to cherish at all, she can reap happiness.

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Li Zhuo could see clearly her personality traits after a little reflection.

It's not that Li Zhuo is so powerful, but that this girl's life is relatively simple and her personality is pure, and she can see to the end with just a little contact.

Even being forced to run away from home by her parents, she had nowhere to go.

Li Zhuo also felt sorry for her.

After confirming, Li Zhuo stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Sunshine Coast.

After arriving, Li Zhuo got out of the car and walked around, asked the guard, but he didn't find He Xiaobai.

Stupid, Li Zhuo patted himself on the head.

He had only moved here for two or three days, and he didn't publicize it with much fanfare. He just sent He Xiaobai a video of the riverside scenery seen from the balcony. She might have thought it was taken when Li Zhuo was out for fun.

So Li Zhuo hurriedly got into the car again and drove to Datang New Village where he lived before.

If you still can't meet her, then you have to go to that movie theater again.

Li Zhuo hurried to Datang New Village, got out of the car and entered the community.

Li Zhuo had sharp eyes, and at a glance, he saw a figure in white squatting under a tree on the sidewalk on the side of the main road.

The lights in the neighborhood were dim, and Li Zhuo couldn't see clearly, but only vaguely thought it was a woman.

Li Zhuo took a few steps forward tentatively, raised his voice and asked:

"Is it Xiaobai? I'm Li Zhuo."

The white figure stood up slowly, and it was her by size.

Li Zhuo took a few steps forward.

The two looked at each other, and Li Zhuo saw that He Xiaobai's face was covered with tears, and some tears rolled down her face like beads.

At this moment, she was crying like a trembling and helpless sapling in the wind and rain.

She wanted to suppress her grief and tried her best to squeeze out a smiling face, but tears rolled down one after another involuntarily.

She said in a hoarse voice:
"Brother Zhuo, I want to sell myself to you, is that okay?"

Li Zhuo was surprised by her words, but at this time he didn't dare to provoke her, so he could only say:
"Everything is easy to discuss, and there is no hurdle that we cannot overcome. Let's sit down first and then talk slowly."

Li Zhuo went over and grabbed her hand, holding it tightly, and pulled her into the community.

He Xiaobai let him hold it, and obediently followed behind him.

Li Zhuo found a bench beside the path and pulled her to sit down.

"Don't be sad, the difficulty is only temporary, it will be over when it is resolved, believe me, your future life will be better than anyone else's!" Li Zhuo comforted him first.

He Xiaobai lowered his head and said "En".

When she lowered her head, her long hair fell down, covering her cheeks, and Li Zhuo could only see tears dripping down her pants.

Li Zhuo felt distressed when he saw it, and after a few seconds of silence, he opened his mouth and said:
"I was sleepy when I was watching a movie. You lent me your shoulder. Now that I am in trouble, I will also lend you my shoulder. If you want to cry, cry hard."

He Xiaobai gave another compliment, and this time she leaned over slowly, leaning on Li Zhuo's shoulder and weeping hard.

Hey, poor, Li Zhuo also felt panic in his heart.

After she finished crying and her mood stabilized a bit, Li Zhuo asked cautiously:

"...Can you tell me what's going on?"

He Xiaobai's condition is very bad, and his speech is a bit like raving, but the incident he mentioned is a common phenomenon in China at present.

That is, parents "sell" their daughters with high betrothal gifts.

"...My hometown is in the countryside of a central province, where it is very poor. My parents are honest people, just like other people in my hometown, farming at home for a living, and my dad goes to the county town to do odd jobs in his spare time. Carrying bags, working as a small worker at a construction site, and working as a temporary worker in a tile factory, in short, working hard to earn money to support the three of us, my siblings."

"I have two younger brothers. My dad often goes out to work, and my mother picks up some agricultural and sideline product processing jobs when she is free. The work is tiring and the money is less, but fortunately, I can do it at home. I have been with me since I was a child. Mom does this job together, and when my younger brothers are hungry, I will cook..."

Li Zhuo lowered his head to look at her hands, no wonder he thought her hands were a little thin and hard, probably because of this reason.

"... I have been a 'sensible' child in the eyes of my neighbors since I was a child, and my parents often praise me like this. I don't feel tired when I work for the family and take care of my younger brother, and I never feel that my contribution is unbalanced, because my parents It pays a lot."

"...But at that time, I occasionally wondered, would I be willing to work hard for a lifetime like my parents, facing the loess and back to the sky, suffering every day, and ultimately just living a better life for the children?"

"When I am thinking wildly, I will imagine a gloomy future scene of myself--

…When I was older, maybe seventeen or eighteen, I hurriedly found a man in the countryside to marry, and gave birth to three or four children. When I was young, I sat on the rocks and looked into the distance, imagining the daunting but prosperous life in a big city, and even the more distant overseas life. "

"I am not afraid of suffering, nor am I afraid of taking on the burden of life, but this gloomy scene is like a rope tightly around my neck, and it seems to wipe out all the colors in my life."

"...I'm really afraid, afraid that the little fantasies, colors, and dreams that belong to me will be ruthlessly swallowed up..."

"Brother Zhuo, have you watched "Mountain and Sea Love"? The acting is really good, the splashes in it are so pitiful, when she is the most helpless and powerless, it is actually her little bit of humble good expectations about the future being choked When it dies..."

"Brother Zhuo, do you know?" Xiaobai began to cry again, "My life is... given by my parents, and I am willing to sacrifice everything about myself for them who have suffered all my life, except for my little bit of color." hope."
