Real And Fake Young Lady: I Have Seven Brothers Pampering Me After I Transmigrated Novel - Chapter 532

532 No Happiness
“There’s no need to kneel. Let’s have a good chat. I know you don’t believe me now, but it’s okay. At least I don’t have any ill intentions.” Chu Ning didn’t get him to stand. Instead, she walked to him and sat on the ground.

Old Fang felt that his body was dirty and smelly, so even if Chu Ning wanted to talk to him, he would stay two or three meters away.

It was only after sensing the movement in front of him that he slowly raised his head.

Due to the excessive force, blood had already appeared on the skin on Old Fang’s forehead.

“I…can sit?” Old Fang asked, baffled.

!!
Although he didn’t understand what Chu Ning was doing, she probably wouldn’t hurt him in the short term.

“Of course,” Chu Ning said softly.

“Thank you,” Old Fang replied in a low voice, pursing his lips.

“How did you become homeless? You shouldn’t be like this. You have four working limbs and don’t look like a lazy person. How did you end up like this?” Chu Ning asked, pretending to be relaxed.

When Old Fang heard Chu Ning’s words, he was slightly stunned. He did not expect Chu Ning to ask this question, so he immediately replied, “I didn’t want this to happen either, but some things are destined. I’m like this, and so are they. There’s no choice.”

“Can you tell me?” Chu Ning felt that since she had decided to use some people, it was necessary to understand them first.

“I’m from another city. My hometown is thousands of kilometers from M City.” Old Fang’s eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence as he spoke softly.
“When I was very young, I was kidnapped and bought over by a couple. I should have been five years old at that time. Perhaps you think that I should be able to live a good life. Even if it’s not good, it should at least be stable, right?” Old Fang asked Chu Ning.

“Did something happen after that?” Chu Ning asked curiously.

“Yes. The rest of my life is the source of my pain.” Old Fang nodded expressionlessly.

“After my adoptive parents bought me, they probably thought that I didn’t like to talk much. In addition, because I wasn’t too smart, they beat and abused me over a long period of time. I lived in such an environment for nine years. When I was 14, I ran away from home and started a wandering life,” Old Fang said calmly.

“Your adoptive parents didn’t look for you when you ran away from home, right?” Chu Ning asked with a complicated expression.

“Yes. They had long thought that I should disappear. After all, to them, I was a burden and not their biological child. After that, I’ve been wandering until today.” When Old Fang said this, his gaze suddenly became erratic. He began to look all around.

“What do you think of this world?” Chu Ning sighed and asked.

“I don’t think about how I look at it, because to me, this world has only brought me suffering.” Old Fang shook his head.

Old Fang continued to shake his head.

“After I left home, I started working. I did all kinds of work. There were a few times when I almost died. I was either starving or almost beaten to death. I used to work in a brick factory. At first, they told me that my salary would be settled at the end of the year. Later, when I went there at the end of the year, not only did the boss not pay me, but he even got someone to beat me up. That time, I almost died.” When Old Fang said this, he suddenly lowered his head. At the close distance, Chu Ning could see clearly that there were shocking scars on Old Fang’s bald head.

“I don’t know how I escaped either. At that time, I really thought that I was going to die. Fortunately, my luck was good in the next few days. I was able to pick up enough food from the trash can every day. Later, I found a temporary job in a restaurant. I worked for a few months and asked for my salary. The boss didn’t give me any money and even told me to get lost. Because I don’t have an ID card, I can’t prove my identity. Even if I report to the Labor Bureau, there’s nothing they can do.”

“I’ve had this experience many times. Later on, my job requirement was that I only need food. As for money, I’ll take it if they give me any. If not, I won’t ask for it. I don’t want to be beaten up.

“Are you asking me if I’m happy? I only feel endless suffering. The fact that I’m still alive is proof of my suffering. I’m constantly feeling anxious and troubled about being alive.

“They are the same. The ones you see are the luckier ones, or rather, the stronger ones. Because the rest are all dead.” Old Fang pointed at the homeless people a distance away.

“Can’t you get a new ID card?” Chu Ning asked gently.
