Chapter 93 The Girl Preparing to Pay Off Her Moral Intent
The logic here is a bit complicated. Broly's linear thinking pattern couldn't quite grasp the connections.
The girl with the bun hairstyle asked how much the clothes cost. He asked Nahashu and found out that the clothes were free, so he replied that they were free.
The girl with the bun hairstyle asked him what he wanted, and he needed happiness for his new target. So, naturally, he answered that he wanted the girl with glasses to be happy, which made no problem.
Later, the girl with the bun hairstyle questioned him about having to compensate someone for a piece of clothing, which he couldn't understand.
Because Broly only understood the literal meaning and spoke the literal meaning, but Hua Ling overthought things and raised questions that reflected her overthinking.
*Smack!*
However, Broly's failure to understand didn't mean the others didn't. The group of children who realized what was happening exchanged glances, and apart from a few others who were equally clueless, they all understood.
Losang was the first to start acting, and I heard him slam his hand on the table.
With a loud slap, she retorted angrily, "You actually said that was just a piece of clothing?"
"Isn't that right?"
"No, that's the outfit our eldest brother wore after fighting very hard at the Western Martial Arts Tournament and winning second place. It was a gift from the sponsor, the JiTu Chamber of Commerce. It was the outfit he wore when he stood on the second-place podium, and its value is immeasurable."
"But if you insist that we give a value, we can still say that the dress is worth twenty-seven million!"
"Oh, clothes worth twenty-seven million?"
Hill exclaimed in surprise.
Are you extorting people?
Hua Ling doesn't believe that there are 27 million clothes in this world.
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, you can go to the West City and ask around. Brother Broly is the real runner-up this year."
"But it's just a piece of clothing..."
Seeing how confidently this group of people spoke, Hua Ling began to feel less certain.
"This precious dress was soaked in soup yesterday, and my brother wasn't angry, but you guys actually managed to ruin it?"
"It's gone, it's gone. Broly only asked her to compensate for one person. Is that too much to ask? What do you think? Is that too much?"
"Not at all, not at all."
The other children took turns being the straight men, echoing the questions that were asked. Even Leone, who wasn't part of the group, felt it wasn't unreasonable after hearing about the origin of the missing clothes.
In this atmosphere, even Broly himself had doubts: Was the clothes he wore yesterday really that valuable? He remembered wiping his mouth with the sleeve of that shirt when they ate barbecue last time...
"So, if you don't want to compensate people, how do you plan to resolve this?"
"This, Hill..."
Hua Ling felt awkward and turned to look at her friend.
"Since it's something so precious, then..."
Hill stepped forward.
"This humble woman is rather clumsy and absent-minded; please forgive her, sir."
The young woman in the cheongsam and glasses bowed directly to Broly and said those words.
"Um?!"
Those present, including the members of the "wife party" who had just put pressure on the actors, were completely dumbfounded.
[Target Hill, willing to compensate the host with herself as his wife for a piece of clothing, is applying to join the Crystal Palace as a full member. Accept/Reject?]
Broly was also a little stunned, but looking at the single-digit happiness score of the bespectacled girl in front of him, he rejected the application for the sake of maximizing his own interests.
"No, Hill, are you really going to give yourself to someone you don't know at all just for a piece of clothing?"
Hua Ling quickly pulled Hill back to reality. She knew that her naturally naive friend sometimes said things without thinking.
"My mother wanted me to keep that dress as a gift for my younger brother, and I couldn't refuse her wish, so I had to compensate for the dress."
That garment is very important to the customer, and since I can't compensate with money, I can only use my own people to do so.
It just so happens that my family has always looked down on me, saying I'm a complete idiot who can't do anything right. My dad even said I'm a money-loser, and my brother once said he would kick me out of the house. So, it's probably a good thing that I'm leaving home.
As for not knowing this young guest in front of me, it's true that I don't know him, but I can sense that he, like you, Lingling, is someone who doesn't have any ill intentions towards me.
Rather than being forced by my parents to marry a stranger to my younger brother, I'd rather give myself to someone who's more tolerant of me now.
Hill said this with a smile, and being naturally naive, she genuinely thought so too.
In a sense, she and Broly really do look like a married couple.
Taking a deep breath, Mine crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair with the air of someone who thinks, "What is an international superstar?"
Beside her, a new wing member who hadn't yet joined the team, the other person's words contained a wealth of information, forcing her to slow down and carefully analyze what was revealed in their words.
The other children, who could also discern the rich information implied in her words, all adopted a similar backward-leaning posture.
"So, the clothes are still there, but your mother took them and gave them to your younger brother?"
After gathering her thoughts, Mine asked the question.
"Um."
Now that things have come to this point, there's nothing left to hide, Hill nodded.
"Is your family very poor?"
As Mine continued to ask questions, Hill answered them one by one, revealing her private life and upbringing to everyone.
First of all, Hill's family wasn't very poor, but it was still a bit difficult for them to marry into a higher social class. Her parents pinned their hopes on her good looks and wanted to achieve this through a future marriage exchange.
Secondly, because her family favored boys over girls, she was already somewhat naive and clumsy as a child, and with the family's indifference, she became even more naive and clumsy.
She often makes mistakes, partly due to her naturally clumsy personality, and partly because during her childhood, no one was willing to patiently teach her when she was a bit awkward.
Hill was a girl who was ignored by those around her. No one taught her much, but they still expected her to do well.
Growing up in an environment that undermined her confidence, and being submissive to others, she remains, to this day, only good at saying sorry; she is not good at anything else.
After listening, the group of children all turned pale, finding it difficult to assess the other party's situation.
"An orphan with a home."
It wasn't until Mine came up with the most fitting description that everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Indeed, compared to them, Hill only had a few more family members who wanted to take advantage of her.
"Things might not be so bad, Hill. Why don't you go home and tell your mother about the clothes? I think she'll return them."
Hua Ling said these words dryly. Although she felt that her friend's family was no good, it was still better than being taken away by strangers.
