262 Storm

Seeing Dan Yu, who had come menacingly and was almost cursing, the workers lost interest almost instantly and dispersed in a puff.

“This woman has gone crazy again.” They had to work during the day and had no energy at all. At night, they finally had a chance, but they could not feast their eyes.

Dan Yu kept the knife behind her and gently knocked on the girl’s door. “Come out and take your luggage. Come to my room to sleep.”

“Aunt…” her ‘Big Brother’ didn’t dare to say anything, for fear the knife would cut him in the next second.

!!
Dan Yu gave him a look, and he swallowed the rest of his words.

When the thin, paper-like girl walked out, many people in the dormitory stuck their heads out.

Dan Yu flashed her knife again and reminded everyone, “You’re not sleeping? If you don’t sleep, you won’t be able to eat tomorrow.”

They retracted their wolf-like gazes. No one wanted to provoke Dan Yu.

When she really arrived at her dormitory and saw this gentle little girl, Dan Yu became gentle again. “Don’t be afraid. This is how you should treat those people.”

Dan Yu heated up the rice in the pot and fried a tomato egg for the girl. “Eat quickly. It’s getting cold outside. Are you cold?”

The lady nodded and then shook her head. She was very grateful. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Her accent was not from the Jiangnan area. Dan Yu was very unfamiliar with it, so unfamiliar that she felt a little heartache.

How far did this girl come from?

Fortunately, the girl was not shy with strangers. When she spoke to Dan Yu, she did not hide anything. The two of them chatted until midnight. The husband, who had gone out to play cards, also returned. When he saw this girl, he thought his daughter, who was in college, had returned.

The lady was from a small village in Henan. Dan Yu could not tell what her name was from her accent.

That “Big Brother” was introduced by a distant relative. He said he was doing well in Jiang City and had many connections. Her family was poor, and she had not been admitted to college. She just wanted to come out and see the world. It would be best if she could start a career so that she could send some money back to her parents and improve her life.

“When did you first meet? Have you seen him before?” Dan Yu realized that something was indeed wrong.

“No, I didn’t. I just arrived in Jiang City this morning.” The girl held the ceramic jar and smiled innocently. “He’s a good man. He even gave me a place to stay.”

How could this be considered a place?

Her “Big Brother’s” dormitory was not a single room. A small and broken room could accommodate four people. If she slept like this for one night, this girl would be swallowed alive.

Dan Yu felt a little headache.

How could their family bear to let such an innocent girl go out?

“Did he say what kind of job he found for you?” Dan Yu thought of the “Big Brother” in the opposite dormitory and rolled her eyes.

“No, he didn’t,” the girl revealed her identity obediently. “I only said that I wanted to find a job.”

Dan Yu began to sigh.

The girl thought she had said something wrong. However, she thought about it and raised her head with anticipation. “He’s a really good person. He even sent oranges to my parents. I believe in him.”

Dan Yu’s heart ached as he looked at this little girl.

She was really still counting the money after being sold.

There were still a few heads squeezing outside. Dan Yu’s husband knocked on the window frame with a spatula and a vegetable knife. “What are you looking at?! Son of a b*tch, you’re inhumane!”

“How about this? You sleep at my place tonight. There’s a small bed here. You’ll sleep more comfortably, okay?”

The lady’s eyes were sparkling. She was very grateful. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Dan Yu estimated there would be some movement from her “Big Brother” tomorrow, so she coaxed her, “I have a job here too. If you work hard, you will definitely get more work than your Big Brother.”

The lady’s eyes lit up again. “Really?”

Dan Yu touched her long braided hair and nodded. “The premise is that you have to do a good job. Come with me to buy groceries tomorrow morning. I’ll take you there.”

The lady only felt Dan Yu seemed to be more reliable than her “Big Brother,” so she was not so nervous for the time being.

She wrapped her arms around Dan Yu’s neck and snuggled up to her like a kitten. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Dan Yu’s heart softened.

If she had been one step later, this one mistake would have led to many more mistakes.

Dan Yu could not bear to part with such a good girl.

At work the next day, the “Big Brother” was in front of Dan Yu’s door, screaming at the top of his lungs.

His sister had disappeared.
