Chapter 103 Poor Child
After Fanka finished writing, he carefully folded the letter and stuffed it into the envelope.

The money in this envelope was secretly picked up by Fanka under the cashier table, one copper coin after another. Once, the proprietress found out and beat him up.

He heard from the clerk in the store that the address should be written on the envelope when writing a letter, so he wrote on the envelope:

【Country Grandpa Collection】

Fanka thought for a while, and added a few more words [Received by Steve, the country grandfather in Yorkshire]

After packing the letter, he showed a rare happy expression.

Fanka poked his head and glanced into the main house, thinking that they should all be asleep.

So he opened the door lightly, and trotted to the mailbox across the street. He had observed that every morning around eight o'clock, a postman would take all the letters from it and send them out.

Fanka went back to the stable, lying happily on the haystack, imagining that his grandfather would come to pick him up and go back to the countryside soon.

But Fanka, who had never sent a letter, didn't know that it was impossible to send a letter without a stamp, and his address format was also wrong.

In the various countries in the Fairy Tale Continent, most of them pursue the policy of ignoring the people, and the number of schools is small, especially the number of middle schools and universities.The tuition fees of middle schools and universities are also very high, which is enough to discourage commoners.

Therefore, many children like Fanka who were born in civilians or peasants mostly just read books for a few years and learned a simple spelling.

Then they are sent to shoemakers, carpenters, painters, bricklayers...as apprentices to master a craft for making a living.Or go back to the countryside and become a farmer.

People in the lower class are just barely living, without dreams and extravagant hopes.

The backwardness of the legal system has led to the frequent occurrence of child labor abuse and abuse.

Fanka was deceived by his distant uncle Will to come to Cabel City as an apprentice. It is not so much an apprentice as cheap labor.

Every day at dawn, Fanka had to get up and put all the shoes in the store on the shoe rack, which was a head taller than him, and he had to move a small stool to get it.

Then go to the warehouse to move out all the materials for making shoes. The heavy leather often makes him exhausted, but he must finish moving as soon as possible, otherwise when the boss and the boss’s wife get up, if they are not ready, they will be beaten again. .

He was the youngest in the shop and the newest apprentice.

For breakfast, he had to wait until the boss and the guys had finished eating before he could eat a little leftover bread, and he didn't even have to think about milk.

Everyone bullied him, and if they were upset, they would take out their anger on him and let him take the blame.

But Fanka couldn't do anything, he couldn't beat them, and he didn't know how to escape in the ice and snow, with his tattered clothes and bare feet, he might be frozen to death before leaving the city.

"Oh!"

In the middle of the night, the door of the stable was kicked open by the boss Will.

He was drunk, and after arguing with the proprietress, he was locked out of the door. He was so angry that he wanted to find someone to vent his anger, and poor little Fanka became a punching bag again.

Fanka was woken up by the sound of kicking the door, rubbed his eyes, and saw the angry boss Will, he shrank in the corner and trembled in fright.

"You son of a bitch, you eat so much every day!" Will casually found an excuse.

"Boss Will, I swear to God, I eat the least!" Fanka's voice was crying.

Will was simply here to vent his anger. He didn't listen to Fanka's explanation. He was wearing big leather shoes and kicked Fanka hard.

Fanka dodged subconsciously, and Will, who was drunk, kicked the air and slipped to the ground.

"Son of a son of a bitch! How dare you hide!" Will rushed over to catch Fanka.

Fanka was so frightened that he ran out of the stable immediately.

"Stop for me, if I catch you, I will slap you hard!" Will roared angrily.

Fanka ran to the side of the road and hid behind the postbox. If Will caught him, he would have to be severely beaten today.

Fanka sobbed softly while shivering from the cold. In the snow, his little feet were red from the cold.

Will chased out from the house and looked around on the road. He saw Fanka's feet, smiled sinisterly, and walked gently towards the mailbox.

……

After Jasmine and Ize got off the boat, they decided to walk home.

She wanted to see the night view of Cabel City, and also wanted to stay with Ize for a while.

"I'm planning to go to the city of Rome." Jasmine said.

Ize was not surprised at all, he knew that if Jasmine had something on her mind, she would definitely do it.

"I'll accompany you." Ize took Jasmine's hand and put it in his pocket, "When do you want to leave?"

"Just these two days, I don't want to delay too long."

Knowing who her mother is, Jasmine has been unable to sleep peacefully. She can't figure it out, she is so powerful, but she still wants to abandon her?
She had to question Catherine face to face, and then say something that made her ashamed, so that the resentment in Jasmine's heart could be filled.

"Then go in two days. At that time, my master and senior Udyr are going back to Black Pine Mountain, so we can go together." Yize said.

Jasmine nodded, and gave Yize a grateful look: "Ize, thank you for being willing to accompany me."

Her hand held Ize's hand a little tighter, and feeling the warmth of Ize's body, Jasmine felt relieved a lot.

In the past, she thought she was alone in this world, so her personality became perverse and her temper became violent. She just wanted to show others that she was not easy to bully, and she was covered with thorns, just to protect herself.

It is different now. Jasmine not only reconciles with her father, but also meets her aunt Merlin, and finds her true love. Her world is about to completely come out from that dark time.

Jasmine glanced at Ize's side face, thinking that after waiting for Catherine's matter, she would live with Ize with peace of mind.

Along the way, Ize introduced Jasmine to the history of Cabel City, various attractions and bizarre legends.

It was already midnight, and there were very few pedestrians on the main street, and most of them were already asleep.

It was still snowing lightly, and the two of them talked and walked all the way, and their heads turned gray by accident.

……

Will slowly approached the mailbox, he grabbed Fanka by the collar and brought him in front of him.

Will smiled sarcastically: "Little brat, you still dare to run. You have gained a lot of courage recently. See if I won't beat you to death today!"

Fanka looked at Will in horror, his neck was uncomfortable because of his collar, and he clasped Will's arm with both hands, so that he could barely breathe.

"Slap!" Will slapped Fanka heavily with his left hand.

"Run! Keep running!"

Fanka only felt his ears buzzing, his face was burning with pain, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"I was wrong, boss, I promise I will never run away again!"

Fanka cried and begged for mercy, he felt a little out of breath.

The neighbors around heard the crying, and many people looked out through the windows, and some pretended to say, "What a poor child, he was beaten again."

But no one came out to stop it.

Will beat the children in the store, they were used to it, and in such a cold day, more things are worse than less things.

 Three shifts.
