Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 367 Not just because of you, but also because of me
Umichi Mochichi and Ichinose Kiyosuki stayed near the tavern.

There are many young people wandering around in the town, so they are not too out of the ordinary.

They watched men coming in and out in twos and threes in the tavern.

A man with a bad nose was sitting at the bar near the door, drinking happily.

That drunkard look is simply disgusting.

That drunkard doesn't just drink.

Sometimes I would grab the guest and say something.

But the guests were not interested. They just shook off the man's hand and left.

The two girls came closer and stood in the open space next to the tavern.

The waste accumulated here is not safe.

Nailed wooden strips were placed everywhere, and the sharp nails penetrated the chest of the wooden strips, revealing the shining malice under the sky.

It is actually the tip of the shining light, which is as white as silver in the summer.

"Hey! You guys are not interested!"

The wine-nosed man's scream penetrated the thin wall of the tavern, and it was as clear as a roar in front of him.

He shouted: "Don't you know how beautiful she is, how cute she is?"

This man once again pulled customers and tried his best to sell.

The guest was an elderly social worker with gray hair and a Mediterranean hairstyle.

His face was wrinkled and his eyes were dull.

Glancing at the man, the guest spat on the ground.

"You beast, I don't want to go to jail." The guest said disdainfully, just wanting to throw away the man's arm and leave.

But the nose-nosed man said: "What is this? What is this?"

He held the social beast's hand tightly, and then said: "As long as you have money, anything will be fine. Besides, this kind of thing is not a big deal."

The social beast glanced at the man: "I don't have money, so I can't do anything like this."

Jiugongbi cursed at this. He loosened the cuffs of the social animal and cursed at him: "You damn old guy, you usually come here a lot. You said you have no money?"

The social animal said with disgust: "You are really a lunatic. I don't want to have anything to do with you. I am the backbone of the family, but unlike you, my family still needs me to work to support the family. If there is no money, my wife's illness will How to treat it, how can the children at home go to school. I am not you, get out of here."

As he said that, he pushed the wine-nosed man away.

But the nose-nosed man clung to the social beast tightly: "Isn't your wife sick? You have been taking care of her for thirty or forty years. Isn't it still not better? Just marry my daughter."

He said this.

The social beast laughed out of anger: "The age difference between me and your daughter is older than yours."

He finally pushed the drunken man away and cursed: "I don't want to commit a crime."

With that said, he left the tavern.

The wine-nosed man yelled at him: "You cowardly bastard."

After a while, two people came down from upstairs.

A man, a woman.

The man said to the woman: "I won't come next time, your husband is too annoying."

The big-wave woman grabbed the man's arm in surprise: "Don't, don't be like this."

The man threw away his hand in frustration: "It's not that I don't want to be entangled with your husband."

With that said, he strode out of the tavern.

The rosy-nosed man also wanted to walk over quickly and make a sale.

But the man ran out quickly, making the drunk-nosed man a little resentful.

He glanced at the woman and strode over.

He spread his sweaty palms towards the woman and said, "Give me money! I'm going to buy a drink."

The woman said dissatisfiedly to the drunken man, "No money."

"No money?" The drunkard-nosed man's eyes widened, and he slapped the woman on the face.

The woman stumbled and fell to the ground. The wine-nosed man's thick arms grabbed the woman's hair.

He felt in the woman's pockets to find money.

But, nothing.

He tried looking through the woman's bag again, but there was no money in the bag either.

His eyes widened: "You actually don't charge me!"

He gritted his teeth, almost furious.

The woman also gritted her teeth and yelled at him: "You beast, what have you been introducing to those people! That's my money! My daughter, my money!"

"That's my daughter too." The man shouted with red eyes, "I am qualified to decide her fate."

The woman tilted her head, with a look of disdain on her heavily made-up face, and said, "How do you know she is your daughter?"

The man waved his fist again.

Haishio Zaozhan and Ichinose Qingyue looked at each other as they listened to the quarrel in the tavern.

"Does this mean that you want to sell Xue Xi to someone?" Ichinose Qingyue whispered.

"Perhaps worse," whispered Tidalweed.

Ichinose Qingyue's face looked a little ugly. She lowered her head and looked at the discarded materials piled up at her feet.

The nails on it gleamed.

"This family is much more complicated than we thought."

She said so.

"What does it have to do with us?"

Hai Tide Algae whispered: "No matter who they are, no matter what happened, it is none of our business."

Men and women were quarreling almost to the point of quarrel. They were yelling angrily, screaming and shouting hysterically.

Even Umichi Mochichi and Ichinose Kiyosuki felt that the noise was too loud.

"Aren't they afraid of attracting other people?"

Ichinose Kiyuki asked this question.

Haichao Zaochi glanced at the pedestrians on the street who seemed to have not heard of such a thing, and couldn't help but said: "Others don't care."

The quarrel between the man and the woman continued, and the two of them were exceptionally skilled at it.

First there was arguing, then there was screaming.

The end was hysterical beatings and resistance.

Finally, there were wailings, angry curses from men, and the sound of shaky banging on the door.

The two girls glanced at the man who was staggering out and the dirty coins in his sweaty, plush hands.

"It seems we are going back."

The two girls looked at each other and felt that they probably wouldn't be able to find any news today.

However, they asked some shop owners in the surrounding area.

However, no information was asked.

In fact, some bosses kicked them out very harshly, muttering and cursing: "You foreigners, you have to explore everything and ask about everything. Finish your trip here as soon as possible." Can’t you leave quickly?”

Umi Tide and Ichinose Qingyue had no choice but to return to the hotel near evening. Nakui and Tsurumi Qianna also returned to the hotel.

The four girls told each other the information they had obtained.

After a brief exchange, the girls got some outrageous news.

——That woman with big waves probably wanted her daughter, Xue Xi, to inherit her mother’s business.

Just thinking about this matter made several girls' hair stand on end with anger.

There was also a shudder that filled the bodies of several girls.

They never thought that a parent would treat their children so cruelly and make them experience something more painful than death.

Kui suddenly remembered what the wavy woman said to Xia Tingfei in the tavern.

"A week? A week!"

she murmured.

The other girls were all asking: "What week?"

Aoi told the other girls about this matter with a complicated expression.

The expressions of the other girls were different. Ichinose Qingyue heard this: "Senior should not be that kind of person."

Tsurumi China said: "That woman simply wanted to take money out of the senior's pocket."

"I think this is pretty good." Hai Tide Algae Chips said.

The other girls all had doubts on their faces.

But Hai Tide Algae Crumbs drank Pocari and said: "If this is really the case, then we can fully control the matter and avoid the worst thing from happening. And the seniors must have rejected this kind of thing, and we don't have to worry about it happening. What happened caused Xue Xi to suffer? Besides, everyone doesn’t have to worry about things that can’t be persuaded by Xue Xi.”

"As long as the situation continues to develop, Xue Xi will find it unbearable. She will always stand up and resist."

Several girls felt that Hai Tide Algae Chips was right.

"But-" Aoi hesitated, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

Then, she said: "I'll go find Xia Ting."

Xia Tingfei's room was next door to theirs. When Kui walked in, Xia Tingfei was flipping through a magazine.

Those magazines sent from bookstores.

These magazines look very old.

There was even a magazine from three or four years ago, which Xia Tingfei flipped through idly.

Aoi walked in and sat on the edge of the bed.

She didn't hesitate: "Do you know that thing?"

"What's going on?" Xia Tingfei closed the magazine and placed it on the table.

He leaned sideways and put his arms on the back of the chair: "If you don't say what it is, I have no way to confirm what you are talking about."

"About the week's agreement." Kui looked at Xia Tingfei.

Xia Tingfei thought for a moment and then said, "What happened?"

Kui told the truth of the matter clearly, but Xia Tingfei just said lightly: "I don't have the money to buy a girl."

He bit his head, not interested in this matter.

Aoi said again: "If possible, I hope you can protect the girl on that day."

To Aoi, this was an obvious and extremely easy request.

But Xia Tingfei rejected the girl's request without mercy. He said, "I won't do such a thing."

Kui's face was full of shocked questions. She didn't understand why Xia Tingfei refused.

She was about to ask.

But Xia Tingfei was the first to speak: "I will never do such a thing as protecting people, and this is your responsibility, Kui."

Raising his eyes to look at the girl with brilliant light golden hair in front of him, Xia Tingfei said: "This is your person, Aoi. It was you who decided to save her, and it was you who decided to bear the fate of others. No matter what, In this way, you have to carry it all the time."

Aoi was silent about this. She suddenly seemed to be suppressed by an invisible mountain.

Almost, taking her breath away.

She wanted to ask, didn't you help me before?

But he understood that he had no reason or position to ask this question.

Xia Tingfei's willingness to help him is his business.

But if you use this matter, beg, threaten, or coerce.

That would be unreasonable and despicable.

I'm not that kind of person, I can't do such a shameless thing.

"I understand." In the end, Aoi just said this.

She was a little weak, as if the spine in her body had been pulled out by something invisible.

The whole body was as weak as cotton.

"That's good." Xia Tingfei nodded, picked up the magazine on the table and flipped through it.

However, Aoi did not leave.

She almost clenched her hands into fists and gritted her teeth.

She lowered her eyelids: "If this happened to you. What would you do?"

"Like a young moon, like a sea tide." Xia Tingfei flipped through the magazine without looking at Kui: "There are some things that only you can do. There are some decisions that only you can make. of."

"Only after bathing in the water of the Styx, is Achilles. After bathing in the dragon's blood, is Siegfried. Only after experiencing the twelve trials, is Heracles."

Xia Tingfei said lightly: "If you can't do it, then you can only take care of her forever and imprison her in a cage. All you can give her is false freedom and false self-esteem."

Aoi listened and sighed again: "It's really cruel."

Xia Tingfei raised his eyes and said, "Is this an accusation?"

The girl shook her head, and her light golden hair swayed, like flowing gold threads.

"This is not an accusation, just a sigh." The girl looked at Xia Tingfei and said, "Is this really a good thing?"

"I don't know." Xia Tingfei said: "Maybe there is a better way, maybe there is a better ending. But, I don't know anything about it. All I can do is what I can do. That’s it. I can’t make it perfect, the only thing I can do is make them stronger.”

"I don't believe that suffering is necessary." Aoi said seriously, "I never believe in such a thing."

"I have never believed in such a thing." Xia Tingfei replied: "If everyone is born happy and has never experienced any unbearable things, suffering is of course unnecessary."

"But for some beings, it's a trial."

"It's a trial of transformation."

"The larvae can only turn into butterflies by turning their bodies into pus in their cocoons."

"And only by struggling hard and unbearably in the cocoon can they turn their newly transformed wings into parts that can be controlled and waved."

Xia Tingfei looked at Kui: "This is just a trial, that's all."

Kui didn't have much reaction to Xia Tingfei's words.

She just sat in silence for a while, then got up and left.

After opening the door, she paused and said to Xia Tingfei, "I will prove to you that I can do this kind of thing."

She didn't look back.

Xia Tingfei did not raise his head, but still flipped through the magazine: "I believe you."

"Not just because of you, but also because of me."
