AWB Chapter 1 Saving the Abused Mother
Chapter 1 Saving the Abused Mother
A chilling wind blows along the road to the underworld, making the journey rugged and bumpy.
Lin Xiaoxiao clutched her stomach with tears in her eyes, occasionally pushing the protruding intestines back in.
She died at the age of two and a half, following the underworld officials in a daze until she arrived outside Fengdu City.
Looking up, there were people everywhere, and the queues were long and crowded.
Xiao Xiao wondered when it would be her turn.
There were many stalls along the roadside selling all kinds of goods, including pretty paper clothes and skirts, and colorful, shimmering candies.
Xiao Xiao swallowed hard, clutching her stomach. She was so hungry!
She looked around, but her mother wasn't there, and neither was her father.
Everyone here is a stranger; I don't know a single one of them.
She didn't dare to cry loudly, only sobbed softly for a while, and no one paid any attention to her.
The people here all have pale, ashen complexions, devoid of any color.
She heard an old man at a street stall spit out a mouthful of phlegm and complain to the people around him:
"The underworld has issued a new rule: reincarnation will be delayed until the age of eighty-five. Damn it, these bastards are trying to make me suffer until my soul is scattered!"
"If I die at 78, does that mean I can be reincarnated after working for another seven years?"
"What are you dreaming of? This is calculated based on seniority. It starts when you report to the underworld."
Little and confused, she couldn't understand anything, and with her short legs, she followed the crowd, inching forward step by step.
You'll hear someone reading out job postings on the street:
"The Department of Maternal and Child Health Protection in Fengdu City, the Underworld, is recruiting a junior staff member. Applicants must have died between the ages of two and three in the mortal world, be wearing a pig princess dress, and be given priority if their left foot was forward when they died."
One of the people in the group chuckled and said:
"This is another case of 'radish gang' (a derogatory term for a criminal gang), is there no justice left?"
Little Xiao didn't understand what "Radish Hill" meant. She looked down at her pig-themed princess dress, then remembered that she seemed to have her left foot forward when she died. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she waved her little hands, skipping and jumping:
"I meet the criteria, I meet the criteria, I meet the criteria to a small extent..."
Xiao Xiao remembers how excited her mother was when her father found a job.
In her limited understanding, having a job meant having good food and fun activities, and her parents would be very happy.
Her parents would be even happier if she could find a job too.
The young man who had just read the advertisement looked down at the three-headed baby at his feet and asked curiously:
"Do you have any government officials working in the underworld in your family?"
Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Then forget about it, it definitely isn't you."
As expected, Xiao Xiao was eliminated in the first round because her left foot was not at a 45-degree angle when she died, which did not meet the department's recruitment requirements.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiao was lucky and was hired by Dafengche Children's Education Co., Ltd. right after graduation, becoming a proud new employee of a third-party labor dispatch company.
The workplace was actually located in the Department for the Protection of Women and Children's Rights in the Underworld.
"How amazing," Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself.
The senior employee who was leading her was a young woman who patted her little tuft of hair on her head and comforted her, saying, "The current economic situation is not good. The entire underworld economy is in a slump. It's good enough to be able to find a job. Xiaoxiao, you must work hard."
She nodded slightly, indicating that she would definitely work hard.
Another woman traveling with them sighed and complained:
"I thought I would be free when I died, but I never expected that the underworld and the living world are the same. Living, you are a working person, and dying, you are a working ghost."
Furthermore, why do we get all the dirty and hard work, without any benefits, and our wages are less than a third of theirs? Just because they have powerful, corrupt parents? Those bastards will be in the oil cauldron sooner or later.
"Okay, stop complaining, or someone might hear you."
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't understand her colleague's dissatisfaction; she was excited that she had a job and was now an adult.
On her first day at work, her colleague handed her a labor contract that required her to travel for work.
The client, Party A, is a customer named Liu Xiaoxiao. The contract is for rescuing a mother who is being abused at home. The contract amount is 10,000 yuan. Party B is the Underworld Women and Children's Rights Protection Department.
My colleague gave a brief overview of the contract, then looked at me and offered some words of comfort:
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. As a newbie, the company will assign you an auxiliary system to help you complete the task."
Xiao Xiao nodded seriously. Although she only knew less than two hundred characters and couldn't understand the contents of the contract, she still solemnly pressed her small fingerprint on the execution text in the appendix of the contract.
Then, with the help of my colleague, I activated the auxiliary system.
Instantly, a screen that only she could see appeared before her eyes, displaying detailed mission information.
Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and stepped into the portal to the mission world.
......
"You bitch, I'll beat you to death, you slut! I'll show you what it's like to run away!" The man raised the stick with a ferocious expression and lashed it hard across the woman's body.
Liu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she hid under the bed, trembling with fear.
"Mom..." she whispered, tears streaming down her face.
The woman looked at Liu Xiaoxiao upon hearing the sound, her eyes filled with love and sorrow.
She endured the pain and said to her daughter, "Xiaoxiao, don't come out..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man's stick came down again.
"Mom!" Liu Xiaoxiao cried as she crawled out from under the bed and rushed over to hug the woman.
Seeing this, the man became even angrier and raised his stick to hit Liu Xiaoxiao on the head.
At that moment, a mysterious force appeared, and time seemed to stop. Liu Xiaoxiao stopped crying and looked up in astonishment at the woman who was holding her tightly and the fierce-looking man holding a stick.
Lin Xiaoxin quickly called out to the system auntie:
"Auntie, will I be transmitted into the client's body?"
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, you are now Liu Xiaoxiao." The system's voice rang in Liu Xiaoxiao's mind.
Liu Xiaoxiao composed herself and mustered her courage to shout at the man, "You're not allowed to hit my mom! You bad guy—"
Liu Wuyang was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage and swung the stick to hit him.
As a mother, Ye Xiaoli hurriedly shielded her daughter in her arms, letting the man's stick pound on her head.
"Stop hitting me, please stop hitting me, I'm sorry..."
Ye Xiaoli covered her head with her hands while crying and begging for mercy, hoping the man would stop.
"You bad guy, you bad guy, you bad guy."
Little Xiao poked her head out from her mother's arms and cursed fiercely.
Just then, the system aunt's voice appeared in Xiaoxiao's mind:
"Xiaoxiao, your mother will be severely injured this time and will have to live with a manure bag for the rest of her life."
Xiao Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "Really? What should we do then?"
The system assistant said, "You can stop this from happening. Tell your mother to run away and shout for help."
Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth, looked at the crying Ye Xiaoli, and anxiously shouted, "Mommy, run! Let's run out and find the policeman!"
"It's no use," Ye Xiaoli shook her head, her face streaked with tears.
She called the police more than ten times, but in the end, Liu Wuyang beat her even more severely, and going to the Women's Federation was of no use.
These government departments are like bodhisattvas in a temple, each with a kind and benevolent face, but when you approach them for help, you find that they are of no use at all.
