In that moment of eye contact, the little girl swallowed her saliva, as if she were very hungry, but she still ran away.
Mo Wenjie walked out of the snack shop and saw the little girl timidly crouching in a corner. When she saw Mo Wenjie coming out of the snack shop, she was scared and ran away immediately.
Mo Wenjie said in a warm tone: Is the little friend hungry? Uncle, would you like to have noodles with me?
The little girl stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, turned back to look at Mo Wenjie, her eyes filled with doubt. Her small eyes blinked back and forth, as if asking: Can I trust you?
Mo Wenjie smiled and said: What's your name, little friend? What's your parents' name? How did you end up out here alone? Are you hungry? Uncle is a good person. How about uncle treating you to some noodles?
After a long pause, the little girl said, "My name is Nünü. My dad went abroad for work, and my mom goes to play cards every day. I'm at home alone, and my mom comes home very late every day. There's nothing to eat at home, so I pick up garbage and sell it for money to buy some food. These days I caught a cold, but I don't have any money to buy medicine, so I don't have the strength to walk. I haven't picked up any garbage and don't have any money for food. I'm so hungry!"
Hearing her story, Mo Wenjie felt a mix of compassion and anger. How could such people be called parents? To give birth and then ignore them is worse than an animal! It's despicable! Nunu, don't be afraid to walk with uncle to have some noodles; after eating, uncle will take you home. I'll teach your parents a lesson for you.
Hearing what Mo Wenjie said, Nunu couldn't help but tears streaming down her face. She shook her head frantically and said, "Uncle, I know you are a good person. Just give me some noodles to eat is enough. Please don't go to my home, otherwise if my mom finds out, she will beat me to death."
Mo Wenjie was even more angry upon hearing this. His own child was being neglected, and others were trying to take care of her, only to be beaten by her parents. Such parents should die! Nunu, don't be afraid to go first and have some noodles. Let's eat enough and then talk about it, okay?
Nunu nodded and followed Mo Wenjie into the snack shop.
Mo Wenjie said to the boss, "Bring some beef and a bowl of noodles!"
Nunu shook her head and said, "Uncle, beef is too expensive. I don't eat it!"
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "Uncle has money. You just eat, don't worry."
Nunu was deeply moved, and she nodded frantically.
Seeing this scene, Mo Wenjie felt a pang in his heart, and tears almost welled up in his eyes! The child is too pitiful. He suddenly remembered that he was both a "Healer" and a "Genius Calculator." How could he be so stupid? A small cold could be cured with a massage. The child's fate was clear at a glance. Where was he asking questions like a fool? It was truly ridiculous. Perhaps he was too concerned about the little girl just now. "Worry leads to confusion" is indeed true!
The beef and noodles had been brought to the table. Nunu sniffed the steam from the noodles, her mouth watering.
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "Nunu, eat up. Uncle will give you a massage to make you feel more comfortable."
Nunu nodded and mumbled, "Thank you, Uncle!" as she wolfed down her food.
As Mo Wenjie massaged Nunu, he instructed, "Nunu, eat slowly. If you're still hungry, just ask for more. No one will take your food!"
As Nunu ate the beef and noodles, she couldn't help but cry tears that fell into her bowl.
Mo Wenjie gently patted Nunu's head and said with pity, "Nunu is the best, Nunu don't cry!"
Nunu stifled a sob and said, "Uncle, Nunu am not crying. I'm happy! I met a kind-hearted uncle, it's my fortune, so I'm happy!"
After Mo Wenjie finished massaging Nunu, he sat back opposite her.
Nunu said, "Uncle, you're so great! Nunu now doesn't feel dizzy and has energy again. Thank you, Uncle!"
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "Nunu, eat slowly, and ask for more if you're still hungry!"
A six or seven-year-old girl managed to eat a whole plate of beef and a large bowl of noodles. It's hard to imagine how hungry she must have been!
After finishing the noodles, Nunu even drank up all the soup. Then she patted her belly and said, "Uncle, Nunu is full now. Thank you, Uncle. Nunu should go home now. Goodbye, Uncle!"
Mo Wenjie smiled and stopped her. "Nunu, don't rush to leave. Uncle will buy you some more beef, so you can take it home to eat!"
Nunu shook her head, "Uncle, I can't take anything home. If my mom finds out, she'll beat me. Thank you, Uncle! I have to go now. What's your name, Uncle? When Nunu grows up, I'll definitely repay you."
Mo Wenjie's eyes began to blur slightly. "Call me Wenjie! Uncle doesn't need Nunu to repay me. From now on, if Nunu is hungry, just come here to eat. I've already paid for it."
Nunu kept thanking him, and then left the snack shop.
Mo Wenjie handed the owner a thousand yuan and said, "This is the little girl's meal money. She will come here to eat in the future. You can cook for her whenever she comes. If the money is not enough, go to Longwang Temple and find Niushan, who is called Niushan, and ask for it. Just say that a person named Mo Wenjie told you to go there. I'm warning you that if I ever find out you are lying to the little girl, you will regret it for life."
The boss took the money and said, "Young man, you are a good person. Although I am a businessman seeking profit, I still have a conscience. You met her out of the blue and could do this, right? Does that mean I have an iron heart? Rest assured, I will make sure she eats more, not less."
Mo Wenjie looked at the boss and saw that he was also a kind person, so he left the snack shop and followed the little girl home. He waited for Nunu to return home.
Mo Wenjie just arrived at Nunu's neighbor's house. A three-person family, a young couple and a little boy.
The male host asked, "Young man, is there anything you need?"
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "I'm just a passerby. I met Nunu outside the snack shop earlier. I treated her to dinner, and I was planning to buy some food for her to take home with her. But she didn't let me. She said if her mother found out, she would get beaten up. So I thought I would come over and ask about the situation."
The male host, upon hearing this, politely said, "Young man, you are a kind-hearted person. My name is Li Shifeng. This is my wife Yu Qian. Our son is Li Xiaohu. Nunu's father is called Liu Dasheng, and her biological mother is called Feng Juan. They used to work in a factory together. After the factory went bankrupt and they were laid off, they lost their jobs. Nunu is one year older than Xiaohu. Liu Dasheng is a straightforward person, and after losing his job, it was difficult for him to find another one as well. So the family's finances became tighter. Liu Dasheng stayed at home for more than six months until Feng Juan divorced him and left with a southern boss, never to return."
Liu Dasheng sent Nunu to live with her grandparents and then went abroad to work. Three years later, he came back with several hundred thousand yuan in hand and later married Xu Wenjing.
Nunu lived with her grandparents and everything was going well. However, Xu Wenjing, in order to maintain her dignity, forced Liu Dasheng to bring Nunu back home and let them take care of her.
Upon hearing this, Liu Dasheng was overjoyed and believed that Xu Wenjing was reasonable and kind-hearted, so he indulged her. Initially, Nunu indeed enjoyed a happy life for a month. However, after they completed their honeymoon, Liu Dasheng went back to work abroad.
Xu Wenjing completely changed after that. She wore heavy makeup every day and went out to play Mahjong as soon as noon, returning home at 2 or 3 in the morning. She never cooked at home. Nunu was so hungry that she would go to her grandmother's house for meals.
When Liu Dasheng's father found out that Nunu had gone without food for two days, he called Liu Dasheng to tell him.
Liu Dasheng called Xu Wenjing and asked her what the reason was for Nunu not having eaten for two days. Xu Wenjing told Liu Dasheng that she went to find a job and didn't have time to cook for Nunu. She said such things would never happen again in the future.
Liu Dasheng believed her without a doubt, little knowing that when she came back from playing Mahjong at midnight, she beat Nunu severely. The child cried so horribly that we couldn't bear it anymore and knocked on her door. The more people knocked, the harder she beat Nunu. Later, out of sympathy for Nunu, we dared not knock on the door anymore.
From that day on, she set a rule for Nunu. If she went to her grandparents' house for dinner again, she would beat her. Terrified, Nunu was afraid to go to her grandparents' house for dinner anymore. She bought Nunu bread, buying dozens at a time and letting her eat at home. She wouldn't let Nunu play with the neighbors; if she was caught doing so, she would get beaten up. Every night when she came back drunk from playing Mahjong, the water from her washed feet had to be emptied by Nunu in the morning. If she woke up and found that the water had not been emptied, she would beat Nunu brutally and then leave her in tears. She would then go back to play Mahjong.
She forcibly made a six or seven-year-old child wash her clothes for her, beating her if she didn't, and beating her again if the clothes were not clean enough. Nunu's body was covered with blue and purple bruises every day, a sight that was heart-wrenching. We dared not speak up for the child or give her anything to eat; if discovered, Nunu would suffer a severe beating.
Poor child! It's so pitiful, yet she dares not speak up or show any anger, for fear of being beaten.
Mo Wenjie listened and couldn't help but clench his fists.
Yu Qian said, "This is not human; it's not even worthy of being compared to an animal. Why doesn't such a person receive retribution?"
Li Xiaohu said, "There are so many injuries on Nunu's sister's body. She cries while washing clothes every day. Even though I give her toys, she doesn't dare to take them. When I grow up, I will definitely chase away that evil woman and prevent Nunu from being beaten up again."
Li Shifeng continued to say, "Nunu is very understanding. However, heaven is unfair! It makes the child suffer so much. Neighbors see it with their own eyes and feel pain in their hearts. But for fear of the child getting beaten more, nobody dares to say anything."
We may have spoken out in the heat of the moment, but the consequences are all over Nunu's body in the form of injuries. This outcome is something no one wants to see. Because everyone wanted to spare Nunu some suffering, we all kept silent, forming an unspoken agreement.
At this moment, Mo Wenjie suddenly unleashed a fierce killing intent, startling Li Shifeng and Yu Qian. They were frightened out of their wits and looked at Mo Wenjie in horror.
Mo Wenjie only realized that he was out of control and quickly apologized!
Li Shifeng and Yu Qian waved their hands, saying it's fine, it's normal to have such a reaction. Sometimes when we visit relatives and friends or talk to colleagues about Nunu, they react similarly. It's understandable.
Yu Qian began to show maternal overflow, her eyes filled with tears as she said, "Such an inhuman being, why doesn't she deserve to receive retribution?"
Mo Wenjie said, "The heavens have their own cycle, and no one can be spared. Heavenly justice is clear, and cause and effect are never wrong. Good deeds will bring good results, and evil will be met with its due punishment. It's not that there's no retribution, but the timing has not yet arrived! On the day of reckoning, all debts will be paid in full!"
Li Shifeng and his wife shook their heads, saying that this is just a way for everyone to comfort themselves; it's not something to take seriously.
Mo Wenjie looked at them and said, "The retribution will come very soon. Just wait and see!"
Li Shifeng and his wife wanted to comfort Mo Wenjie as well, and they hoped it would all turn out as they wished! They genuinely wanted Nunu to escape her suffering. If there ever comes a day when this happens, I promise I will go to the temple to burn incense and pray!
Mo Wenjie smiled and asked, "Really?"
