"Let go, I'm just asking her something, I won't hurt you."
"Little girl, tell me where this pearl earring came from?!"
The girl was pinched by Jiang Jiahao's arm. She was so frightened that she burst into tears, but she didn't dare to cry out. She could only push desperately into the old lady's arms.
The old lady was like an old hen guarding her calf, tightly guarding the young girl behind her. She pulled on Jiang Jiahao's arm as hard as she could and almost bit her.
The old woman was mute, but the girl was not.
At the moment, he only had a pair of underpants to cover his shame and no wallet or anything else. Jiang Jiahao pulled off the gold chain around his neck and stuffed it into the old lady's hand.
"I want to know where this earring comes from. Tell me. You can take this necklace away. My patience is limited. Don't make me go crazy!"
Jiang Jiahao's voice was cold, and the girl was even more frightened. However, the old lady saw that Jiang Jiahao only cared about pearl earrings, and quickly waved gestures at the girl.
The girl gradually stopped crying and said with fear on her face: "The earrings were given to me by Abao."
"A Bao, A Bao is my neighbor. He, he is two years older than me. He said that this pearl earring is a token of love for me and that he will marry me in the future."
"Take me to find Po."
"oh."
Jiang Jiahao's gold necklace weighed at least 20 to 30 grams. It was big and thick. The old lady did not dare to accept Jiang Jiahao's necklace and was afraid of Jiang Jiahao's evil spirit.
He could only carry the empty basket on his back, hold the girl's hand, and lead Jiang Jiahao away from the shore.
The home of an old lady and a young girl lives in a slum not far from the shore.
These are all dilapidated iron houses, the quality of which is inferior to that of shipyards. They are inhabited by stowaways who have escaped from the mainland or Southeast Asia.
After questioning on the way, Jiang Jiahao learned that the old lady was originally from the mainland. She was forced to flee to Xiangjiang due to famine in 40 years.
There were seven members of the family when we came here, but later they all died due to various reasons. Only two people were left to depend on each other, surviving by picking up some seafood in the early morning every day.
"A Bao is not at home. He must have gone out to pick up seafood. Do you want to wait for a while?"
The home of the girl and the old lady is very simple, with a space of only a dozen square meters. It is made of discarded iron sheets and branches, with air leakage from all sides. It is more like a rain shelter than a home.
As soon as the old lady entered the room, she kept coughing. Her expression was very painful, and she seemed to be seriously ill.
She took the broken celadon teapot, poured some water into the cracked bowl, dug out a packet of dark powder, and swallowed it.
Along the way, the girl's fear of Jiang Jiahao became much less. Seeing that Jiang Jiahao kept staring at her mother-in-law, she handed over a bowl of water and explained.
"My mother-in-law has edema in her stomach. The doctor said she needs surgery. We have no money, so my mother-in-law can only drink some plant ash every day to make her stomach less painful."
"plant ash?"
After eating the plant ash, the old lady's expression became obviously much more relaxed, and she rummaged through the cracked wooden box.
He took out a gray cloth coat with patches on top of each other and handed it to Jiang Jiahao, making gestures constantly.
"My mother-in-law said that the sea breeze is very strong. If you only wear it... you will get cold and catch a cold. This dress used to belong to my uncle, but now it is for you to wear."
The girl acted as a temporary translator and told Jiang Jiahao what the old lady wanted to express, but as she spoke, she blushed and could only look away.
"Thanks."
In front of other people, old and young, he always sways back and forth in big underpants, and he is somewhat suspected of being a hooligan.
Jiang Jiahao was not polite, took the coat from the old lady and wrapped it around him.
The clothes were a little too small, and when held up by Jiang Jiahao's broad shoulders, they looked a bit nondescript, but at least they could cover up the shame, which was better than nothing.
"Doctor, how much does the surgery cost?"
After wrapping himself in clothes, the cold feeling on his body gradually receded. Jiang Jiahao picked up the porcelain bowl and wanted to drink some water. After seeing the dirt accumulated inside, he put it back down with a smile.
"I don't know, but it will cost a lot of money."
When she mentioned her mother-in-law's illness, the girl's eyes, which were still stained with tears, became a little sad and she seemed a little silent.
Only then did Jiang Jiahao have the intention to look at the girl in front of him.
The girl must be fifteen or sixteen years old at most. She has a sallow face and thin muscles, which may be caused by long-term malnutrition. However, her dirty little face cannot hide the rudiment of beauty.
Jiang Jiahao has reason to conclude that when the girl grows up, if she is willing to enter the entertainment industry, she will be more or less a beauty on the same level as Zhang Zhizhi and Zhou Minmin.
Looking away from the girl, Jiang Jiahao looked at the old lady solemnly.
The old lady's eyebrows were dark and her wrists were covered with age spots. She was obviously only about sixty years old, but she looked eighty or ninety years old.
Her lower abdomen was very swollen, and the sound of water could be heard from time to time. Every tremor when she walked would make the old lady look in pain.
But when she looked at the girl, she would always hide her painful expression and show a kind and charitable side.
Jiang Jiahao doesn't know how to tell fortunes, but he has read some photo books in his previous life and understands that photos come from the heart.
With the strong black energy between the old lady's brows, she would pass away within two months at the latest. This is no longer hydroabdominal syndrome, it's life!
When the old lady saw Jiang Jiahao staring at her, her eyes full of pity, she became a little panicked for no reason and avoided Jiang Jiahao's gaze.
At this moment, the girl who had been waiting at the door returned and informed Jiang Jiahao that Abao and his mother were back.
Not far from the tin house where the girl lived, there was a slightly smaller tin house.
A middle-aged woman was squatting on the ground at the door, and a young man in a white shirt were sorting the sea food in the backpack.
The boy was Abao. When he saw the girl appear, an innocent smile appeared on his face. Regardless of his mother's angry eyes, he grabbed a palm-sized blue crab from his basket and delivered it to the girl.
"Nana, Amu and I caught a lot of crabs today. I'll give this to you."
"Hey, who is this brother?"
Abao grabbed the blue crab, not afraid of the blue crab's claws that kept waving around. He just looked at Jiang Jiahao curiously, with a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Jiang Jiahao opened his palms to reveal his pearl earrings. He looked closely at Abao and asked, "Where did you get these earrings?"
"Why are the earrings here with you? Give them back to Nana. They are my love tokens for her."
When Po saw the pearl earring, he reached out to grab it, but Eminem held her tightly in his arms and kept struggling.
"Amu, let go of me, let go of me."
"Sir, children are not sensible. If you have anything, just ask me."
The middle-aged woman saw the gun on Jiang Jiahao's waist and stared at Jiang Jiahao with fear on her face, her body trembling slightly.
Abao seemed to be aware of Eminem's fear and kept looking at Jiang Jiahao. He also saw Jiang Jiahao's pistol and immediately stopped struggling.
"I just want to know, where did this pearl earring come from?"
Jiang Jiahao repeated what he said, scaring Abao so much that he instinctively dodged back. He responded calmly: "Yes, you picked it up on the shore. Did you throw it away?"
When Jiang Jiahao heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked: "The shore, where is the shore?"
"Just, just, the shore, I, I didn't lie to you."
"Want to earn money for your grandma's surgery?"
Jiang Jiahao turned around and looked at the girl beside him. The girl was stunned and nodded instinctively.
Pulling the girl to a corner, Jiang Jiahao glanced around and whispered: "Go to Yau Ma Tei Xiang Kee Fish Ball Shop and give the male boss the pearl earrings."
"After this is done, no matter how much your grandma's surgery costs, I, Jiang Jiahao, will cover it."
After rubbing the girl's head, Jiang Jiahao put the pearl earring into her hand. The girl blinked and stared at Jiang Jiahao with doubtful eyes, and finally nodded.
After watching the girl leave, Jiang Jiahao came to the iron room and waved the Rolex on his wrist at Abao: "Help me find the owner of the pearl earrings, and this Rolex will be yours."
"If you dare to play tricks, today next year will be the death anniversary of you and your mother-in-law."
