657: C657 Child

C657 Child

Old Lady Xue thought for a while and had no choice but to say, "Why don't we help first and wait for you guys to find the person before we leave."2

"No, no. Mother, your health is also not good. How can we do this? No way." Chen Honglian waved her hand and refused to agree no matter what. She did not ask Old Lady Xue to help her by bringing up these matters. She just wanted everyone to sit together and think of a way to solve the problem.

Old Lady Xue's health these few years was not good. If she really wanted to do this, wouldn't it be asking everyone to poke the spine of Old Lady Xue and Chen Honglian? Xu Fangya and Liu Aiju were also unwilling and kept persuading.

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, suddenly, someone outside poked their heads into the ground. He kept looking inside the shop. As the female boss of the shop, Chen Honglian naturally had to get up to greet her. She swept away the worry on her face and quickly stood up. She went to greet, "Hello, what would you like to eat?"

When she got closer, she realized that it was a dirty child. His face was dirty, and his facial features could not be seen clearly. Only his eyes and white teeth could be seen.

Those big eyes stared straight at Chen Honglian.

Chen Honglian did not want to chase him away. For a moment, her heart was kind and she slowly bent down and gently asked him, "What is it? Are you hungry?"

The child shrank back a few steps and was very timid.

He looked very afraid of strangers.

He was unwilling to speak, and Chen Honglian slowly lost her patience. He was so introverted and did not expect him to speak. When Chen Honglian was about to turn around in disappointment, suddenly, the corner of her clothes seemed to be pulled by someone.

She turned around and saw that it was a child pulling on the corner of her clothes.

The child was very anxious and could not even speak clearly. In the end, it was Chen Honglian who patiently listened. She was a little surprised and her mouth slightly opened as she asked, "Are you sure? How old are you?"

"15 years old"

15 years old?? Chen Honglian really did not believe it. This child seemed to be only 1.4 meters or so, how could he be only 15 years old? Furthermore, his voice sounded like...

"You are a girl?" Once again discovering the truth, Chen Honglian felt that something was not right. This child was 15 years old and was even a girl. How was that possible?

Xu Fangya saw Chen Honglian standing at the door for a long time and she was very puzzled. She also walked over to take a look at the situation. When she saw the conversation between the child and Chen Honglian, she finally understood the general situation.

Chen Honglian was in a somewhat difficult position. She frowned and looked at Xu Fangya, "Third sister-in-law, what do you think we should do?"

"What is it?"

Once Old Lady Xue spoke, Chen Honglian could only bring the child to follow her. Chen Honglian did not mind that the child was dirty. Instead, she held her hand and explained, "Mother, this child said that she wants to be a waiter."

Waiter?

Old Lady Xue and Chen Honglian's reactions were exactly the same. After knowing the child's age, she began to be silent. This child was thin and small. One look and one could tell that he was malnourished. If it wasn't for the abuse at home, or the lack of money at home, he would have come out early to make a living.

She held the girl's hand, stared into her eyes, and asked: "Do you really want this job?"

The child nodded fiercely, his eyes revealing desire. She really wanted this job, or else she would have starved for a few more days. In the end, Old Lady Xue decided to leave the child behind. She even let Chen Honglian pull the child to take a bath.

Liu Aiju was somewhat puzzled. When Chen Honglian brought the child to wash up, she asked, "Mother, why did you take in this child? Her origins are unknown. What if something happens?"

"She is so young, what could happen to her. She's so thin. One look and you can tell that she's malnourished. Either she fell from the family, or she was abused. We, if you can help him a little, just help him a little. Don't be so harsh on him."

Old Lady Xue explained to Liu Aiju. She also did not wish for her daughter-in-law to not understand her.

After Chen Honglian washed the child, she brought him out for everyone to take a look.

"Everyone, quickly come and take a look. What a handsome child."
