Chapter 211 Life is a Play (7)

The two children were tied up and sat in a box, unable to move, with tears in their eyes. They seemed to be afraid, but also somewhat inexplicably stubborn.

I heard that this opera troupe travels all year round and often performs in some towns and villages.

This time, the mayor used his connections to invite them to perform, as if they were specially invited for these tourists.

After all, there aren’t many activities in the town on normal days. It’s a small town that can be toured in half a day, and there’s nothing much to see. So we can only invite these seemingly powerful troupes to liven up Cangyang Town.

The mayor only invited them for three days. This is the last day of their performance. They should leave tomorrow.

The two children thought that they would be able to leave Cangyang Town with the opera troupe tomorrow, and move to different places in the future. Even if they had to beg for food, they would always be able to survive.

At worst, they could still stay in the opera troupe and become primary school children. They thought that Zhong Lian and his group looked easy to talk to, so they were not afraid of them at all.

Who knew that Wen Chan would find out in the end.

“Sister…sister…please don’t hand us over, okay?”

The little girl was so scared that she started sobbing softly, but the little boy still had a bit of rationality and kept begging Wen Chan.

“…”

Wen Chan was silent, with one hand on her knee, tapping her knee with her fingertips from time to time, no one knew what she was thinking.

Zhong Lian stood behind her, pursed her lips, and stared at the back of her head.

He felt quite sympathetic towards the two little kids, so he agreed to their request.

But if Chanchan wanted to send them back, there was nothing he could do.

He will definitely listen to her. After all, men who don’t listen to their girlfriends will end up badly.

“I’m actually willing to believe your reason…” Wen Chan looked at the little girl.

The reason is that she is a little girl and her family has a second child, and what if it is a family that favors boys over girls.

Everyone understands this situation.

But what about this little boy?
Shouldn’t we treat him as a treasure under normal circumstances?
She turned to look at the little boy.

The little boy was thinking about Wen Chan’s words. Feeling her gaze, he immediately understood what she meant.

He moved his body, and the ropes tied to him suddenly loosened.

He stood up from the box and fished out one of his trouser legs.

Below is the empty half of the leg that was amputated to the thigh.

He is disabled.

“Two years ago, some people from other places came to visit Wawashan. I was playing outside and was hit by their car.”

He lowered his head and said: “They were in a hurry to get up the mountain and didn’t pay attention to me. They bumped into me and ran over my legs.”

“When I was taken to the hospital, my leg was already like this.”

He raised his eyes and glanced at Wen Chan, unconsciously reaching out to grab the hem of his clothes. He was not sure whether Wen Chan would believe what he said.

I could only try to make my tone sound more sincere, “Later I heard from my parents that they paid 20,000 yuan in compensation and left.”

“But the 20,000 yuan is not for my leg treatment…”

Having said this, he bent down, picked up a crutch made of a tree branch from the big box, and held it tightly in his hand.

The meaning was very clear to Wen Chan that he didn’t even have a decent cane, let alone a wheelchair or a prosthetic limb.

He had endured the strange looks he had suffered since he was a child, but he endured it.

He endured it even though his parents used the 20,000 yuan compensation to save the fetus.

When the accident happened to him, his mother was pregnant and was quite frightened. He thought it was normal to save his mother and brother first.

But in the end, what he got in return was the fate of being abandoned.

In another year, my younger brother will be going to school, but because of his leg problem, he cannot go to school. In the eyes of his parents, he has completely lost his value.

Now I’m just a useless little piece of shit who can’t do anything.

Mom and Dad thought that it would be better to let him make one final contribution and send him to the Baby Mountain in exchange for the whole family becoming rich and happy.

Thinking of this, the little boy’s eyes became moist.

“Sister, we really don’t want to go back… If we are sent to the Baby Mountain, we will definitely die, one of us is disabled and the other is a little girl! I don’t want to die…”

The car accident that year didn’t kill him, and he didn’t want to die from such an inexplicable thing.

“Actually… you won’t necessarily die if you go up the mountain.”

Zhong Lian muttered softly.

Wen Chan immediately turned around and looked at him. Zhong Lian grinned at her, “I was just kidding! I’ve never been to Wawa Mountain!”

“…”

What’s the difference between this and confessing something?
Wen Chan inexplicably glanced at him for a moment, thought for a moment, and said to the two little kids, “How about this, if you do me a favor, I promise you won’t die. If you really don’t like your original family, after you help me with the matter, I’ll find a way to take you away. How about that?”

“Really?” The little boy couldn’t believe it.

“Sister, you won’t lie to us, will you?” The little girl also rubbed her red eyes.

She didn’t know when the rope loosened.

This self-directed and self-acted performance is too careless, and the binding is so loose.

Wen Chan pulled Zhong Lian out from behind him, “We are not from this town, it’s easy for us to take you away.”

The two children looked at each other, as if they were communicating with eyes that only the other could understand.

After a moment, the little boy said, “What do you want us to do for you?”

Wen Chan smiled slightly, “You can go home later and say that you knew they were going to send you to Wawa Mountain, so you were scared and hid for two days, and then wait for them to really send you to the mountain.”

Both of them: “???”

“Aren’t you asking both of us to die?” the little boy asked with some dissatisfaction.

They escaped just to avoid going up the mountain!

“No, I will follow you.”

Wen Chan stroked his chin and thought seriously, “If they listened to you and didn’t abandon you in the end, it would be a good thing. You should be very happy, right?”

If the two children were a little older, Wen Chan would not have said such things, but now they are still children, at the age when they are dependent on their parents and only remember to eat but not to be beaten.

I don’t know how much courage I mustered to run away from home.

If parents show a little kindness, they will definitely forgive them.

If their parents really weren’t so heartless, after this incident, they would be treated a little more seriously in their future lives.

If you are really so heartless, sending them up the mountain will make them give up completely.

If you admit that your parents don’t love you that much, you won’t hesitate when leaving, and when you look back on them later, you won’t have too much nostalgia for them.

The most taboo thing for people is indecision.

Find a way to end this relationship once and for all.

Of course, Wen Chan was not simply helping them find ways to test their parents’ attitudes; her main purpose was to help herself.

“…”

The two children were silent.

If you can really win back your parents’ hearts just by playing the victim, then they will indeed be happy.

Proves that their parents still love them to some extent.

There is no child who does not long for the love of his parents.

Wen Chan continued: “If they really have no conscience, you just wait on the mountain, I will find you and will definitely not let anything happen to you.” “…”

The little boy hesitated.

If what she said was true, then he thought it was actually not bad.

The little girl next to him said weakly: “But…but if I say that, I will definitely be beaten when I go back.”

Wen Chan: “…”

Forget that boys and girls are treated differently in this situation.

“I’ll ask the mayor to go to your house and take a look. Is that okay?” He had no choice but to trouble the mayor.

If someone beats a child at home and is about to beat the child to death, he will definitely intervene, right?
“Then…then I’ll listen to my sister.” The little girl nodded.

Her sister had already thought of the plan for her, so she just had to do it.

She also wanted to know, after this incident, would her parents choose to abandon her to the mountains again to raise her younger brother with money?

The little girl agreed, and the little boy had no choice but to nod.

Wen Chan smiled gently, “What a good child.”

“Sister~ I can do it too.”

Zhong Lian suddenly leaned her head in front of her and called her sister in a child’s tone.

Wen Chan stared at the face so close to her without changing her expression, even the smile on her lips was still there, and the curvature of her mouth was even tending to widen.

“…”

It clearly looked like a beautiful expression, but for some reason, Zhong Lian felt a hint of danger.

He was about to stand up straight when Wen Chan suddenly stretched out her arm, hooked it around his neck, and pulled him towards her.

“I almost forgot, don’t you have a ready-made son?”

Wen Chan smiled mysteriously.

She even forgot that Zhonglian could turn into a child.

If the two children were not thrown up the mountain in the end, she would throw Zhong Lian up.

She wanted to go and see what kind of child god that was on the mountain. He picked up other people’s children and used money to compensate them.

This is too stupid!
“I call you sister, not mother…” Zhong Lian explained.

What is a ready-made son?
“Chan Chan, it’s wrong for you to recognize your son everywhere!” Zhong Lian condemned severely.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Wen Chan touched his face and let him go.

“Okay, it’s almost night, let’s proceed according to the plan. Two people will take them home, and another person will ask the mayor to go to the little girl’s house and tell her that her family wanted to beat the child to death. The mayor will definitely go and seek justice.”

Wen Chan arranged things very clearly.

Several actors looked at each other, not knowing whether to listen to her or not.

How did they end up becoming her subordinates?

Until Zhong Lian shouted, “Hurry up and move! Can you afford to delay Chan Chan’s important event?”

Everyone: “…”

This is not just dog-licking behavior, you are like the dead eunuch beside the emperor, a dog who can only flatter the emperor!
The few people only dared to complain in their hearts. After making a contemptuous gesture towards Zhong Lian, they still took action and acted according to Wen Chan’s plan.

“Wait a moment.” Wen Chan called them.

“After you send them over, don’t leave yet. Eavesdrop on the situation and come back to tell me.”

“We are your servants?” Someone said dissatisfiedly: “Zhong Lian is a general manager, do you really think you are the emperor? What do you think of us…”

Before he could finish his words, Wen Chan and Zhong Lian’s eyes were already on him.

I dare not say the second half of the sentence, so I just keep my mouth shut.

In the end, I couldn’t help but said, “You have to pay!”

Zhong Lian immediately rushed over and beat him up, gritting his teeth and saying, “Did I pay you too little salary? You even dare to cheat Chan Chan out of her money!”

The man covered his head and yelled, “Is that cheating? That’s normal labor wages! Besides, you gave what you gave, and she is she…”

Zhong Lian hit him harder, “We are a loving family! What’s mine is hers, and what’s hers is still hers. I suspect you are trying to sow discord between me and Chan Chan! You will lose your bonus this month!”

Mad!
What is the difference between him and Chanchan?
We are obviously a family, why should I have two salaries?

He still needs to save money!

“Alright, alright.” Another person stepped forward to stop the fight.

He grabbed Zhonglian’s arm to stop him from hitting anyone.

He stared at Zhong Lian’s beautiful face that was so androgynous that it was hard to tell whether she was male or female for a few seconds, and finally sighed deeply.

He said earnestly: “Zhong Lian…”

“You are pure licking you!”

After saying that, he quickly grabbed the beaten brother from Zhong Lian’s hands and quickly ran out of the backstage.

“Wait for us…”

Two little children, one who couldn’t run fast, supported a one-legged lame boy and struggled to catch up with the two adults.

Finally, Lian was so angry that she jumped up and down.

“You don’t know what love is!”

The other three looked at each other and imitated Zhong Lian’s tone and repeated: “You don’t even know what love is.”

After saying that, he ran out as well.

They were sure that Zhong Lian would not catch up.

After all, Wen Chan is still sitting inside.

Sure enough, Zhong Lian was so angry that he punched the air and didn’t even bother to chase after him.

“These people are so mad at me! Instead of practicing their performance, they have the energy to bully me!”

He clenched his fists, turned around and walked towards Wen Chan, rested his head on Wen Chan’s shoulder, and whispered coquettishly, “Chan Chan, they bullied me~”

This was the first time Wen Chan saw him so lively.

In previous copies, he might have had one or two acquaintances, but he ignored them all. If those acquaintances didn’t look for him, he would just pretend they didn’t exist.

This time, perhaps because of his identity, he seems to be the boss of the troupe and has to deal with these people.

But these people have such mean personalities that his temperament in this copy is slightly affected, making him particularly lively?
Wen Chan raised her hand and touched the back of his head, comforting him: “Just deduct all their bonuses and they will behave themselves.”

Zhong Lian’s eyes lit up, “You’re right!”

This saves a lot of money!

“Chanchan, you are so smart!” Zhong Lian praised her, took her hand and asked, “So are we a loving family?”

“Of course!” Wen Chan looked at his face, suddenly moved closer, squinted her eyes and said, “I remember you promised to show it to me when you got home.”

“Ah?” Zhong Lian was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to remember something and nodded shyly, “That’s right, then shall we go home now?”

“and many more.”

Wen Chan grabbed his arm and asked seriously, “Is it safe this time?”

Zhong Lian raised an eyebrow, “What?”

I didn’t understand what she meant.

Wen Chan: “When will you turn back into a child?”
