SEC Chapter 147 Mom, Where Are You?
Chapter 147 Mom, Where Are You?
"That Yu Xiaoxiao is ridiculous. She brags all day about having a big villa at home."
There's also a dedicated practice room and a swimming pool; her mother adores her.
But look at her, her school uniform is always filthy, and her hair is cut like a dog chewed it.
Last time I saw her in the bathroom, I noticed she couldn't even afford sanitary napkins and was using toilet paper instead.
And another thing! She doesn't eat breakfast or dinner, she just grabs a quick bite at lunchtime.
She also keeps saying that she used to eat so much bird's nest, shark fin, and abalone that she almost threw up.
It's hilarious!
"Haha! Yes, it was at the squid stand near the school gate after school last time."
She's bragging again, even though she doesn't have a single penny on her.
He even boasted that she was picky and couldn't get used to this commoner's food.
I was so annoyed that I questioned her, "Is the reason you're like this now because your mother died?"
She was so angry that she chased me for three blocks, almost exhausting me! Haha!
"Isn't Yu Xiaoxiao an idiot? Does she really think others don't know what her family situation is like?"
Her mother didn't want her and ran off with someone else.
Her father has remarried, and she has been kicked out of the house and now lives alone in a rented apartment.
She always says that her mother is the best mother in the world, and that none of us can compare to her.
Sigh! I really don't know what to say about her.
The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself squatting next to a telephone pole, wiping away tears.
The echo of the original owner's self-talk still lingered in her ears:
"My mother is the best in the world, and you are not allowed to say such things about her."
The reason I'm like this is because my mom didn't see it. If my mom saw it, everything would be fine...
She glanced around with slight surprise; the surroundings looked like a city from the 1990s.
She stood up, looked down at her school uniform, and realized that for a 12-year-old girl, the uniform hadn't been washed in a long time; the sleeves and chest were greasy.
The sneakers on my feet were also filthy, and the front was coming unglued.
In the late autumn weather, the original owner was only wearing a thin school uniform, and Xiao Xiao felt a chill on her body.
"What's going on, Auntie?"
"The original owner of this body is Xiaoxiao, who is 12 years old this year. Her mother disappeared three years ago on her way back to her parents' home. Everyone said that your mother ran away with someone. Your father was very angry, and your maternal grandfather's family also felt ashamed."
But the original owner of this body didn't believe it; her only wish was to find her mother.
"Then... are there any clues?"
"No, we called the police and they investigated. They found that your mother took a bus back to town, but disappeared on the way back to the village from town."
The police searched for a long time, and your maternal grandparents and uncles also organized a search for a long time, but they still couldn't find it.
Gradually, people started saying that your mother had found a lover and eloped to the south.
The system administrator glanced at the client's account and briefly explained.
"Have they been imprisoned?"
Xiao Xiao said it subconsciously.
"It's possible, or it's possible they've already been murdered. What do you think we should do?"
The system auntie tested the school's way.
"Whoever is the first to say that the original owner's mother eloped with someone is the most suspicious."
“Smart, but it requires a lot of investigation, and if your mother is really being held captive, it could very well alert the suspect.”
She clenched her fists tightly and frowned.
She walked back while talking to the system administrator.
She first returned to the dilapidated shack that her original self had rented, where there was only a bed and a broken table.
Xiao Xiao found a diary on the table, which recorded the little things that the original owner of the body did with her mother and some clues about people her mother might know.
The original owner of this body never believed that her mother would abandon her and her father and elope with someone else. After all, her mother loved her very much, so how could she abandon her and elope with someone else without saying a word?
Unfortunately, she was just a little girl who couldn't even take care of herself, let alone find her mother.
When I went to the police station, the police only said that there were too few clues and that they were still investigating.
The original owner believed it, but Xiao Xiao knew they were just fooling her.
Let alone the 1990s, even in the era when there were cameras everywhere, it wasn't always possible to find a missing person.
She then checked her pockets and drawers in the house, and found only two yuan.
Holding the two crumpled one-yuan bills, Xiao Xiao recalled how the original owner of the body had carefully calculated how to survive on two yuan a week.
She went to the nearest vegetable market to buy some noodles, and then, unconcerned about the disdainful looks from others, bent down to pick up some rotten vegetable leaves from the market's garbage dump.
When I got back, a handful of noodles cooked with some vegetable leaves was enough to fill my stomach.
She clenched her fists, recalling the original owner's life three years ago, which was completely different.
Before she turned nine, she lived in a luxurious villa, pampered by nannies, with countless toys, beautiful clothes to choose from, and professional tutors. She also had a practice room, a swimming pool, and more.
But everything changed after my mother disappeared and my father remarried.
She never sees her father, and the money she receives is always from the family's nanny, who gives her 50 yuan a month. The little girl has to be very careful with her money, and she lives a very frugal life.
Sometimes when she was so hungry she couldn't stand it, she would call her father, but his secretary would always say that he was busy and didn't have time.
She wanted to go back to the villa where she had lived since childhood, but was stopped by security guards and couldn't even get through the gate.
She went to her maternal grandfather's house, but after the first visit, her grandfather gave her two hundred yuan and told her not to come again when he was taking her to town to catch the bus back.
The original owner's eyes were red at that moment.
She knew that her maternal grandparents' family would find it shameful.
Ever since rumors circulated that her mother had given up her job as the boss's wife to elope with another man, her family has been unable to hold their heads high in the village.
Naturally, he didn't like this granddaughter either.
Because of this visit, the villagers inevitably bring up the original owner's mother again.
Besides, they had no obligation to raise the original owner of the body.
Your dad is a big boss, and you dress like this.
They wanted to intervene, but they couldn't stand up straight in front of their former son-in-law and had no say in the matter.
In the end, all I could do was sigh helplessly.
No matter what, the original owner of this body is still the son-in-law's biological daughter, and he will always make arrangements for her.
Clutching two yuan, Xiaoxiao slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and headed out the door.
They found the nearest police station, and as soon as they entered, they started shouting.
"Officer, I need to report a crime!"
"This...it's you! Little friend, didn't we talk about this last time? We're still investigating your mother's case. Go back and wait."
The police officer on duty looked helpless when he saw that it was Yu Xiaoxiao.
"No, I don't know it's for my mother's case, I'm doing it for myself. I want to call the police because my father, Yu Haitao, is suspected of abusing me. I'm starving to death. Are you going to do anything about it?"
"If you don't do anything about it, I'll take a rope and hang myself from the gate of your police station."
Little Xiao tilted her head back and shouted angrily.
As soon as he said that, everyone in the case-handling hall, whether police officers or ordinary citizens, turned to look at him.
The policeman's eyes widened, and he hurriedly came out from behind the counter.
"Yu Xiaoxiao, stop shouting. Come here, sit down. Xiao Wang, isn't there some instant noodles over there? Make a bowl for the child!"
After giving his instructions, he pulled up a stool and sat opposite Xiaoxiao, asking with concern:
"What's going on? Your father is a big boss, a rich man, how could he let you go hungry?"
"Do I look like the daughter of a big boss?"
Xiao Xiao flicked the dirt off his sleeves, pointed to the grease on his chest, and then pulled out two one-yuan bills from his pocket.
“I only have two yuan in my pocket right now. I need to live on these two yuan for a week. I can’t survive. Yu Haifeng is now my stepfather.”
He only gives me 50 yuan a month, and he often delays paying me for several days. When he delays, I go hungry.
