Chapter 17: White lie

Views:

Xu Le looked at the orphan and widow and sighed again.

He had thought of various ways and excuses to face the mother and daughter, but in the end, he rejected all those ideas and excuses.

Zhou Keren is already dead. No matter how you make up the story, he can't be brought back to life.

The so-called white lie was told when the mother and daughter depended on each other and they were not capable enough.

All of these could be the cause of disaster.

That was not what Lao Zhou wanted, and it could not fulfill Lao Zhou's last wish.

He didn't kill the man, but Xu Le did, and he is now Xu Le.

So... he chose to tell the truth.

"You probably guessed it. Yes, Mr. Zhou Ke encountered a strange ancient sound when he was out and unfortunately passed away."

“You’re lying. Even though the old man is a bit rotten, he… he’s very lucky.

It's impossible. It's definitely impossible.

You are talking nonsense, get out, get out now."

Zhou Tingting was very emotional at this moment. When she heard that her father had passed away, she was no longer as indifferent as before.

Because of her age, rebelliousness, and some ideological conflicts, she said those words before.

But Zhou Tingting actually has very strong feelings for Zhou Ke.

“I’m sorry, I can’t deceive you about Mr. Zhou Ke’s death.

Zhou Ke died heroically, and his death will be remembered!"

Xu Le added another sentence in his heart.

“I will remember it.”

After hearing Xu Le's final words, Zhou Tingting also began to cry silently.

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, their only support in this world had disappeared.

What they have to face next is not just a hard life.

And after losing the protection of men, the environment in the downtown area is as ferocious as wolves and tigers.

Xu Le was very clear about this, and he knew that this was also what Lao Zhou was worried about in the end.

This should be Lao Zhou’s last wish.

Xu Le understood even more clearly that at this point, he should play his assigned role well.

"I'm sorry. Although I know you are very sad right now, I still have to interrupt. I haven't finished what I want to say."

Zhou Tingting wiped her tears with her sleeves.

The girl who was a little rebellious before quickly calmed down after learning that her father had passed away.

This may be the fate of children in the downtown area.

After losing their support and protection, they need to grow up quickly.

Otherwise, in an environment like the downtown area, the mother and daughter would be eaten to the bone.

Zhou Tingting has always known about these things, but Zhou Ke's existence gave her some room for buffer.

Now that Lao Zhou is dead, she must be strong.

"Okay, if you have anything else to say, tell me."

Xu Le confirmed Zhou Tingting's mood, and then spoke slightly formally:

"Due to Mr Zhou Ke's heroic act and his help to the lighthouse staff.

Our company will implement the victim's family management measures for their family within 30 working days and relocate their residence to an area near the moat with standard rooms.

Within 45 working days, the pension that Mr. Zhou Ke’s family deserves, RMB 7,500.

Death insurance, 625 yuan, a total of 8,125 yuan. "

"So many?" the mother and daughter said in unison.

As a security guard, Zhou Ke's salary is 25 yuan per month, which is 300 yuan a year.

This salary is already a very good job in the lower city area of Lighthouse, and it is definitely enough to support a family.

But Zhou Ke wanted Zhou Tingting to go to Dengta University, and the salary alone was definitely not enough, which was why he went out.

Normally, 2-3 years of pension is considered good, and some companies don’t even give it.

Not to mention the number 8125 which sounds outrageous.

This is almost equivalent to Lao Zhou’s salary for 27 years, so the mother and daughter were so surprised.

"Is what you said true?" Zhou Tingting asked uncertainly.

Xu Le's response was to take out a pair of white gloves and then make a please gesture.

"If it's okay, please give me a strand of your hair each."

Xu Le's expression was somewhat indifferent and absent-minded, and he did not explain the reason for this action.

Although the mother and daughter felt a little strange, they did not raise any questions.

Needing hair sounds like a request from the Warlock. Perhaps only the Warlock would pay so much money.

Xu Le took the hair of the two women and wrapped it with white cloth.

“Well, once I hand the hair back, the contract will be formally established.

If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now! "

As he was about to leave, he silently recited the numbers in his mind:

“3, 2, 1.”

"Wait, when can we get the money?" Zhou Tingting stopped him.

Xu Le stopped. This reaction was normal, which meant that the mother and daughter did not doubt themselves.

After all, for poor people, money may not be the most important thing, but it is definitely indispensable.

Xu Le turned around and took off his white gloves while saying:

“Normally you can relocate within 30 working days, and as for the pension, it should take 45 working days to submit.

The operations of a large company are more complicated, I hope you can understand.

If there are no further questions, I will leave.”

"Well, Mr. Xu Le... take care."

Xu Le nodded and walked out the door without any hesitation.

Under the gazes of the mother and daughter, Xu Le threw the white gloves on the ground with a little impatience.

It seems like coming to their house is a somewhat boring thing.

His back gradually went away and disappeared from the sight of the mother and daughter.

After turning out of several alleys, Xu Le leaned against the wall somewhat tiredly.

"Everything seems to be going well?"

It's fake, everything is fake. There is no company, no pension, and no insurance.

The disdainful expression and indifferent attitude are all acted out.

Everything Xu Le said was fabricated and made up by him. He had to do this because he wanted to fulfill Lao Zhou's last wish.

He made up all this in order to fulfill his last wish.

But fabrication is not cheating, and he does not intend to cheat, so he has to complete the relocation of the mother and daughter within 30 working days.

Within 45 working days, the pension of 8,125 yuan will be distributed.

In fact, to accomplish this task is neither difficult nor easy.

The best strategy is to become a sorcerer, and all problems will be solved easily.

The middle strategy is to seek Bai Jing's help. She should have noticed her abilities.

The worst option is to find a way to get an Ancient Yinduo Fruit from the Soul Tree and sell it, then you will have money.

The best way is definitely to become a warlock.

And this is what he plans to do next.

Xu Le took out the medal and murmured:

"Old Zhou, your last wish..."

Before he could utter the remaining few words, Xu Le felt a warm current.

These heat currents entered Xu Le's body, making him unable to help but clench his fists.

Although he had some self-doubt, Xu Le still felt it.

His strength was growing! His body became lighter and his observation became sharper.

It is the medal that is changing.

When Xu Le looked at the Veteran Medal, the properties of the medal had changed...
