Chapter 735: Extra 10: The Childhood Journey of Tie Chui and Iron Nail (Part 3)_2 Chapter 735: Extra 10: The Childhood Journey of Tie Chui and Iron Nail (Part 3)_2 Because Tie Chui only sold fish and basically didn’t offer other seafood products, he didn’t affect other vendors too much. There wasn’t much targeting or exclusion from others, and they all got along quite harmoniously.

They now had enough money for Jiaye to go to school.

But Jiaye didn’t go.

She couldn’t go. If she did, what would Tie Chui do alone?

She had been with her brother all these years and couldn’t imagine how he would live without her. Subconsciously, she didn’t realize that she couldn’t live without her brother, either.

Over the years,
they had become each other’s redemption. Without one, the other couldn’t live a normal life.

…

Jiaye, now an adult, was leaning on the sofa with her legs on the coffee table, enjoying the air conditioning. She watched a drama on the tablet and chuckled continuously.

By this time, she had long forgotten those bloody events of years past.

So many years had passed.

She and her brother never mentioned those things again, and she never told anyone else. Those issues had rotted away in her heart. She was very satisfied with her current life and would make the same choices all over again.

The only thing that made her feel a mix of emotions was,
she didn’t know how her younger self managed to not fall apart mentally in that situation and even took remedial measures.

How old was she back then?

It’s said that children of the poor mature early, but not that they are born knowing how to handle a crime scene.

But now, all that was in the past. No one had dredged up those issues, and not even the police had suspected them, investigated, or even filed a case. Everything had been seamless.

But soon,
the smile on her face gradually stiffened.

The drama was good, but its content made it impossible for her to laugh.

.

A female lead who had once killed someone, and a male lead who was a cop–perhaps the Goddess of Luck had smiled upon them once more.

This time, no one found them again, and no one discovered them.

Not even a case was reported.

The man’s wife really thought her husband had taken off. After cursing loudly at the market for three days, she took off with another man from Yancheng, and after that, they knew nothing of what happened.

But there was one thing they knew.

Life had truly gotten better.

Afterwards, they had finally experienced the joy of living again. Jiaye, year after year, grew from a little girl into a graceful young lady.

She learned how to wear makeup.

She had money to buy new clothes and could dress up beautifully.

No longer did she have to sit by the roadside, enviously watching other girls in new clothes.

She didn’t have to crowd around other stalls to watch TV shows anymore; they could afford smart phones to watch dramas.

They could also eat whatever they wanted.

There were so many things they could do.

Money can indeed do many things, at least allowing them to live with dignity, not being called a fool or a jinx.

Though Tie Chui wasn’t smart, he was extremely honest in business. Even though the profits were thin, he never cheated with the scales. His reputation in the seafood market grew, and so did his regular customers.

People gradually preferred to buy fish from Tie Chui’s stall. Despite his simplicity, many believed that an honest person like him would not cheat them, which was indeed the case. As a result, he gained more and more returning customers.

Because Tie Chui only sold fish and basically didn’t offer other seafood products, he didn’t affect other vendors too much. There wasn’t much targeting or exclusion from others, and they all got along quite harmoniously.

They now had enough money for Jiaye to go to school.

But Jiaye didn’t go.

She couldn’t go. If she did, what would Tie Chui do alone?

She had been with her brother all these years and couldn’t imagine how he would live without her. Subconsciously, she didn’t realize that she couldn’t live without her brother, either.

Through all these years,
they had already saved each other. Without the other, neither could lead a normal life.

…

Now an adult, Jiaye was leaning on the sofa, her legs resting on the coffee table as she enjoyed the air conditioning, giggling nonstop at the television series playing on the tablet before her.

By this time, she had long forgotten the bloodstained events of many years past.

Years had gone by.

She and her brother had never brought up those matters again; she had never told anyone either, those things had completely rotted away in her heart. She was very satisfied with her current life, and even if she looked back, she would still make the same choice.

The only thing that made her feel somewhat emotionally complex was,
she had no idea how her younger self managed to stay sane in that situation and take remedial action.

How old was she at that time?

It’s said that the poor children take on responsibilities early, but it’s never said that they are naturally adept at dealing with crime scenes.

But now everything was in the past, those matters were never brought to light again, and in all these years, the police had never once suspected them, let alone approached them for questioning or even opened a case – everything was seamless.

But soon,
the smile on her face gradually became rigid.

The television series was good, but its content could no longer bring a smile to her face.

.

A female protagonist who had once killed a man, and a male lead who was a police officer, or perhaps it was the Goddess of Luck once again smiling upon them.

This time, no one found them, and no one discovered them.

There wasn’t even a police report.

That man’s wife really thought her husband had run off, and after cursing in the vegetable market for three days, she eloped with another man from Yancheng, and whatever happened after that, they didn’t know.

But they knew one thing.

That is, life had truly improved.

After that, they finally rediscovered the joy of being human. Jiaye grew up year after year, from a little girl to a graceful young lady.

She learned how to apply makeup.

She now had money to buy new clothes, and she could dress up beautifully.

No longer did she have to sit on the street corner, looking enviously at other well-dressed friends walking by.

She no longer needed to huddle next to other vendors to watch their television shows; they could afford smart phones for watching TV dramas now.

She could eat whatever she wanted.

There were so many things she could do.

Money really could do a lot of things; at the very least, it allowed them to live with dignity, without one being called an idiot, and the other a jinx.

Tie Chui, though not smart, was extremely honest in business. Even though the profit margin was indeed slim, he never used dishonest scales. His reputation in the seafood market grew, as did his customers.

People increasingly preferred to buy fish at Tie Chui’s stall. Although his intellect was limited, many believed that such a person wouldn’t cheat them in business, and, indeed, this was the case, leading to an ever-growing number of returning customers.

And because Tie Chui sold only fish, practically no other seafood, he didn’t impact other vendors too much, which didn’t cause any targeting or ostracism. Everyone got along harmoniously.

They now had enough money for Jiaye to go to school.

But Jiaye did not go.

She couldn’t go. If she did, what would happen to Tie Chui alone?

All these years, she had been with her brother. She dared not imagine how he would live if she weren’t there. In fact, subconsciously, she didn’t realize that without her brother, she couldn’t live alone either.

Through all these years,
they had already saved each other. Without the other, neither could lead a normal life.

Now an adult, Jiaye was leaning on the sofa, her legs resting on the coffee table as she enjoyed the air conditioning, giggling nonstop at the television series playing on the tablet before her.

By this time, she had long forgotten the bloodstained events of many years past.
