Reborn in Hong Kong, my cousin is Crippled Ho

Chapter 13, Part 3: The Little Rabbit Without Girls

Seven hundred Hong Kong dollars was roughly half a year's income for Tie Tou when he used to drive a rickshaw.

But in the eyes of the gambling-addicted woman, this was a gambling stake to try and win back her losses, and also the price for selling her own daughter.

Lin Yuanshan, with a stern face, ripped the IOU to shreds in a flash: "You three, you can leave now."

Rotten Tooth didn't dare to say anything more, called to his two brothers, and rushed down the stairs.

Disassemble the parts while they're still hot.

If we're even a step too late, it'll be all over.

Lin Yuanshan took out his cigarette case, knocked out a cigarette and handed it to Tie Tou, then lit it for himself.

Lin Yuanshan knelt down in front of the girl and took the fruit knife from her hand: "If we hadn't met you today, would you have wanted to kill your mother?"

The girl didn't speak, but her shocked expression and slightly dilated pupils gave a silent answer.

Lin Yuanshan sighed and threw the knife into the corner: "There are some things that we, as children, cannot do."

At such a young age, if you were to stab someone like that, you would turn from a human into a ghost.

Sigh, I guess I'll have to play the bad guy (or the innocent bystander).

Oh, right, I didn't have time to ask you just now, so I'll make the decision for you.

I think it's more worthwhile to tear down your gambling-addicted mother than to try to save her, you don't have any objections, right?

The girl lowered her head and didn't say anything.

"Then I'll take that as a yes." Lin Yuanshan took a puff of his cigarette, stood up, and cursed at Tie Tou, "Damn it!"

Just because I told you to go upstairs doesn't mean you have to. Stopping at the bottom of the stairs, watching what kind of show you're going to have?

Now look what happened! Not only did it cost me an extra hundred dollars, but it also made me look like a bad person.

Her mother died, and those three bastards will definitely pin the blame on me when they get back.

Now I'm telling you, that hundred dollars will be deducted from your salary in the future!

"Huh?" Tie Tou's mouth gaped open, pointing at himself: "Another pay cut?"

Seeing Lin Yuanshan turn to leave, the girl followed him: "Benefactor, could you... could you adopt me?"

I eat very little, I can do anything, I'm good at everything.

"Ugh! This is such a hassle." Lin Yuanshan paused for a moment, then continued walking down the hallway. "Do you know how to cook or tidy up the rooms?"

At this moment, Tie Tou was no longer foolish.

He stood at the top of the stairs, smiling and beckoning to the girl, "Hurry up, come on. If Yuan Shao asks you like that, it means he agrees."

Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on the girl's dirty face.

……

Half an hour later, in room 402.

The girl was holding a broom and diligently sweeping the floor.

Lin Yuanshan sat on the sofa, flipping through an outdated magazine: "Just called Little Rabbit? No real name?"

"No." The little rabbit gathered the trash together.

"Where's your father? What's his name? He should at least have a surname, right? Oh, and where's your ID?"

"None of them."

"Hiss..." Lin Yuanshan put down the magazine and suddenly felt a headache.

Although everyone living in Kowloon Walled City is a talented individual.

However, children like Xiaotu, born locally and without family, income, or housing, still refreshed his understanding of the underprivileged in Hong Kong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The little rabbit responded and hid behind the wall, raising the broom high with both hands.

She didn't put down the broom until she saw that it was Tie Tou returning with a kind-looking old woman in clean clothes.

"Young Master Yuan, this is Old Liu's wife from the grocery store downstairs." Tie Tou was carrying a net bag containing some old clothes. "It just so happens that their daughter is about the same age as Xiao Tu, so I asked them to give up one of their clothes."

"Aunt Liu, right? Please help Little Rabbit wash up." Lin Yuanshan picked up the net bag and handed it to the old woman: "I'll pay you for it along with the clothes later."

Aunt Liu nodded and led the bewildered little rabbit out.

Lin Yuanshan raised his chin at Tie Tou: "What are you standing there for? Come with us!"

After Little Rabbit finishes washing and changing her clothes, give that old woman two yuan and send her away.

"Oh, oh, oh." Before Tie Tou could even sit down, he got up again and chased after her out the door.

Lin Yuanshan unfolded the magazine and snorted, "In places like this, there are more ghosts than people; we have to be careful."

An hour later, Tie Tou excitedly pushed open the door and came in: "Wow, Yuan Shao, look, look! The little rabbit is so cute!"

"What's all the noise about? Are you worried that no one will know? Why don't you shout a few times to let everyone come and kidnap her?" Lin Yuanshan glared at Tie Tou and just then saw the clean-up Xiao Tu following behind Tie Tou as she walked in.

Aunt Liu's long braid, which used to be dry and tangled, has been untangled and cleaned. Now it hangs down her back as a shawl, and she has changed into the clean beige old dress that belonged to her daughter.

Although her face was pale and sallow, it was still faintly visible after washing away the dirt. She'll definitely look good when she grows up.

No wonder Tie Tou was shouting so loudly. The rabbits now are completely different from the ones that couldn't even be sold for 700 yuan just now.

"Let's go downstairs to your home and see if we can find your birth certificate. If we can avoid being unregistered, we should try our best to avoid it." Lin Yuanshan got up and walked over.

Little Rabbit followed obediently, while Iron Head brought up the rear.

……

When evening came, Wu Shih-hao and the others returned.

To my surprise, the house, which had looked like a doghouse, had been cleaned up spotlessly.

Moreover, there was a young girl in the room.

"A-Yuan, I have to talk to you."

"You're eighteen this year. If you want to try your hand at meat, I'll have Big Chicken arrange it." Wu Shih-hao beckoned Lin Yuan-shan to the rooftop, handed him a cigarette, and said with a very serious expression, "How old is that kid?"

We need to have principles. Your current thoughts are beastly, and I, Hao Ge, can't stand them!

Lin Yuanshan had just lit his cigarette when he heard this, and he coughed repeatedly, choking on his cigarette: "I'll choose! Brother Hao, you, cough cough, what are you thinking..."

Lin Yuanshan recounted the events of the afternoon to Wu Shihao.

Upon hearing this, Hao slammed his fist on the fence: "Pfft! No wonder you looked familiar, it's the little rabbit downstairs."

That child is so pitiful; her gambling-addicted mother often gambles day and night.

Wu Shih-hao took two forceful puffs of his cigarette and patted Lin Yuan-shan on the shoulder: "It's my fault, Brother Hao, I misunderstood you!"

Well done! It's a pity I wasn't there today, otherwise, with those three lousy bastards, I wouldn't have given them a single penny!

Lin Yuanshan smiled but didn't reply, and simply stayed upstairs and downstairs.

This cousin of mine is now also involved in loan sharking.

If they really wanted to help, how could someone as useless as Rotten Tooth, who was scared away by a few words, have the guts to come to their door to collect the debt?

They're all adults, and they're all out there getting by.

The personas of chivalry, loyalty, and hatred of evil are all self-created.

In this world, a gambling addict paired with a clueless kid is a truly disastrous combination.

Seeing no tangible benefits, Brother Hao naturally wouldn't cause trouble.

Of course, Lin Yuanshan himself was actually the same kind of person.

If, while escaping, Lan Du Feng hadn't used Xiao Tu to trick him, trying to use him to hold off Lan Ya Cai and the other two.

He wouldn't have gone so far as to add insult to injury by reminding Rotten Tooth that he had sent this gambling addict to have parts removed.

As for buying the rabbit, it was just Lin Yuanshan's personality; once he started something, he went all the way.

This girl dared to point a knife at her own elderly mother, and even after seeing her mother fall from the building, she remained unfazed and didn't even blink.

Based on this alone, Lin Yuanshan was willing to spend a hundred yuan to take a gamble.

In hindsight, the word "benefactor" alone proves that Mr. Lin made the right bet.
