Chapter 1 Courage and life security
Poverty as if you are, your hands are empty, you have no clothes and food, and you are hungry and cold.
The family is barely walled, hungry, displaced, and wandering.
This is Lin Yufan's situation now.
Lin Yufan, seventeen years old, is a second-year student in Qingshi No. 1 Middle School.
As early as one year old, before he could remember, his parents... were unable to repay the huge sum of money after several profits, so they finally chose to sell him to human traffickers.
However, Lin Yufan was lucky. He was just taken away by a team of human traffickers. Before ten minutes, a team of police officers who had been targeting them for a long time broke into the door and arrested collectively.
After Lin Yufan's parents got the money, they did not choose to pay the loan shark, but fled the city with the money.
And after that, he was sent to an orphanage according to the procedure.
If it weren't for his repeated questioning and the director of the orphanage helplessly confessed his life experience to him, he wouldn't have known that his childhood experience would be so bizarre.
Although his parents are still alive now, his situation is actually no different from orphans.
After that, before going to school, Lin Yufan always followed the dean of the orphanage, learning to speak, write, and deal with people.
When he was seven years old, he reached the age of being able to go to elementary school, but because of the financial conditions and conditions of the orphanage, he himself did not allow them to go to school. Those who could go to school were the only children adopted by other uncles and aunts.
However, this time, Lin Yufan coincided with the good policies of the country and began to implement the "nine-year compulsory education" for the country to force minors, and implement the exemption of all tuition fees required for compulsory education for poor families.
Even if you go to school, you can get national policy subsidies, you can get two eggs and a bottle of milk every day, and you can get a canteen meal card worth more than 300 yuan a month.
This is like a huge sum of money for Lin Yufan, who has never seen money!
Taking the money from the country, Lin Yufan began to work hard and study hard. In the end, he lived up to his expectations and successfully entered Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, the best high school in Qingshi City.
The director of the orphanage was surprised by Lin Yufan's learning ability and talent, but at the same time he was very pleased.
Because the orphanage itself is a place full of defects, the children here are sent to the orphanage for various reasons. Here, the defects in their hearts will naturally be automatically amplified.
Most orphans become arrogant and domineering because they lose their families and no control from others, and their psychological problems are gradually exposed.
However, there are also a few orphans who are eager to learn and work hard because of the environment.
Lin Yufan is this kind of thing.
Looking at the entire orphanage, only Lin Yufan went to high school alone.
Fortunately, there is one that makes the dean feel that he has persisted for so many years and has not wasted his efforts.
However, the good times did not last long. In the second semester of Lin Yufan's second year of high school, the orphanage went bankrupt.
The director who had always insisted on assigning all orphans to other orphanages was also forced to be taken home by his family because he was seriously ill, leaving only Lin Yufan, a group of helpless orphans.
Because other orphans had no identity information, they were quickly arranged by the government to allocate them to various orphanages around them. However, because Lin Yufan was going to high school, the dean got him a household registration with the orphanage so that he could apply for an ID card and at the same time he could enter the school.
However, it is precisely because of this household registration that the people above were unable to arrange a new orphanage residence for Lin Yufan, saying that it was in the review process and could not be passed.
Anyway, Lin Yufan heard a lot of reasons like this. Later, he was too lazy to find those people anymore and lived alone in the original orphanage.
Although the orphanage house is big, both decoration and facilities are full of a sense of age and dilapidated.
Moreover, because Lin Yufan had no money to pay the electricity and water bills, the water and electricity here had been stopped long ago. When he needed water, he could only carry a big bucket and go to a public toilet two kilometers away to pick up a bucket of water to pick it up.
If it weren't for the fact that he was admitted to No. 1 Middle School with the first place in Quanqing City, No. 1 Middle School reduced his tuition and gave him a monthly subsidy of 600 yuan. Not to mention going to school, whether he could live without starving to death for the next day would be a problem.
Saturday, April 7th, at 6 a.m.
"Hey, I don't know if I can find a part-time job with a package of food today."
Lin Yufan got up early, touched the bed in a dark and dark way, put on his clothes, washed up casually with the cold water from the plastic bucket, and prepared to go out.
It was still a bit chilly in the morning in April.
Lin Yufan, who was already a little sleepy, was instantly lost in sleepiness when the cold wind blew.
Today is Saturday, and after a two-day holiday of one month, he plans to go out and try his luck to see if he can find a short-term two-day part-time job.
Of course, it is best to be able to pack food, so that he can save another two days of meal money.
Huh ~
A gust of cold wind blew, and Lin Yufan couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, a woman suddenly heard the shouts of a woman in an alley.
"Thief! There is a thief! Come and help me catch him!"
Lin Yufan looked in the direction of the sound. A woman in a floral dress was chasing a middle-aged man with oily hair.
The middle-aged uncle held a pink bag that was completely inconsistent with his temperament in his left hand, and a fruit knife in his right hand, running all the way, and soon threw the woman behind him.
Although it was six in the morning, many breakfast shops had already opened at this site, and there were also many passers-by on the road who got up early and ran in the morning and bought breakfast. However, facing this scene in front of them, those people seemed to choose to pretend not to see it.
After buying the breakfast one, I quickly left after paying.
When I was running in the morning, I saw the middle-aged uncle holding a fruit knife and turned around and changed the course of my morning jogging.
Lin Yufan twitched the corners of his mouth, and his body subconsciously took a step back.
It's really not their fault for not helping.
When faced with the need to choose between "hard work for justice" and your "safety in life", there is nothing wrong with choosing to protect yourself.
It is better to say that in this case, the choices made by those who turn around and leave are the most correct ones.
The woman was stolen from the woman was just a bag. No matter how much the loss was, it was just some banknotes, a few bank cards that didn’t know the password, or a photo with her boyfriend.
These things can be retrieved if they are thrown away.
But human life is only once.
Lin Yufan took another step back on his right leg.
He was about to turn around and walk away.
Pretend to turn a blind eye, then go to find a short-term part-time job that can be used to pack food, and pay the water bill with the money from the part-time job.
In this way, he no longer had to spend two hours on water to fetch water in the public toilet two kilometers away.
He can also buy two exercise books for the two days of savings to repeatedly consolidate his knowledge points.
As long as I have survived high school, I heard that when I was in college, I could apply for student loans, which were not of interest. Moreover, there were more scholarships in college than those in high school, and were often thousands, which was about half a year of Lin Yufan’s living expenses.
As long as he goes to college, he can use his own hands to change his destiny of poverty!
For his future and for his own life safety, he cannot meddle in other people's business.
However……
His legs moved.
The right foot that had just retreated suddenly kicked hard, and his whole body shot towards the middle-aged man holding a fruit knife like a cannonball.
It was a time to say it, and then it was soon. No one expected that this high school student who looked so weak would have the courage to rush forward.
When the middle-aged man saw Lin Yufan rushing towards him, he felt a little angry. The knife in his hand slashed at Lin Yufan hard.
"Damn it, you guys want to die!"
However, Lin Yufan dodged to the left at the moment when he was about to be touched by the knife. The blade slashed across his face, and a burning pain suddenly came from his face!
But he did not retreat.
Instead, he hugged his hands and used his shoulders to hit the middle-aged man's belly.
Bang!!
"Damn you...!!"
Although Lin Yufan looked thin, he knocked the middle-aged man back three steps after this collision. His eyes raised, he tilted his head and fell to the ground, fainting.
Seeing this, the people around him were quiet for a few seconds before they rushed up one after another.
"Grass! In broad daylight, I even snatch something. Get up for me!"
"Damn it, what's wrong with being a robber. I'll see if you dare to steal things in the future!"
"Call the police and get this guy in."
A group of people surrounded the robbed middle-aged man layer by layer, ready to beat him and criticize him, but no one came to visit the boy who knocked the middle-aged man away and left a knife mark on his face.
Although the knife marks were very shallow and might not even be left with scars, blood beads slowly dripped from his face.
Lin Yufan wiped his face casually with the back of his hand, looked at the dawn that was about to appear in the distance, and got up from the ground and patted his butt.
"Hey, it's time to find a part-time job."
No one noticed that the brave young man in the crowd had quietly left in the crowd.
In the distance, a woman in a floral dress kept her eyes focused on Lin Yufan, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
