"Although I escaped from home, I still have dignity!"

"I made up my mind to stay in a small hotel for two weeks at most and then leave as soon as I can."

Hu Pingtao didn't understand this very much: "Why two weeks?"

Liu Xiao'e explained: "I have calculated that I can earn several hundred in one night, which is a lot of money in two weeks. To be honest, it is okay to do this kind of thing occasionally, but if I really rely on this to make a living... I still feel

I find it unacceptable. After all, I am a decent woman. If I had not been forced to do anything, I would never have come out to do this."

Hu Pingtao was speechless about this.

He had a feeling: Although Liu Xiao'e was exposing her family background, she was doing so because she was trying to clear up the relationship.

She is a very smart woman.

Comparing the two criminal acts of "poisoning to kill" and "prostitution", the latter's guilt is definitely much lighter.

And she has good reasons for self-identification.

Liu Xiao'e continued: "But I never thought that the next day... the situation would change."

"The landlady kept calling, but in the end only two customers came."

Ding Jian raised his head from the side and said half teasingly and half sarcastically: "Sure, if she could call dozens of guests every day, why bother running a small hotel in a place where there is no shit? She would have made a fortune long ago.

"

Liu Xiao'e blushed: "I don't understand these things. I... I just want to make money, and I never thought there are all kinds of ways. Although I have no experience, I can see that the boss lady is deliberately telling lies.

Lie to me. So at night, I took a chance and ran away secretly while she wasn't paying attention."

"I'm still a little scared. Because the customers she invited were so diverse. And several of them were unhygienic. I was afraid of getting sick."

"I rented a house in Sujiaying. It's a village in the city. It costs 400 yuan a month for a small single room. I found a job and lived there for more than a year."

Hu Pingtao asked unexpectedly: "Where is Liu Gang? Did you look for him later?"

Liu Xiao'e hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes. At first, he called me and asked me to go out for dinner and then find a place to sleep. Each time he gave me two hundred yuan, and later it became one hundred yuan. I

I thought it would be expensive to rent a house, so I said it would be better to go to my place and give me the money for the house. Even though it is only a few dozen yuan, it is still money!"

"Liu Gang said that I was obsessed with money. I said that I wanted to save money for plastic surgery. After hearing this, he suddenly changed his attitude towards me and asked me how much I had saved. I said that at the beginning, I only had a few hundred yuan. Later.

He helped me find a plastic surgeon and sutured my upper lip."

Hu Pingtao found it increasingly difficult to understand: "You just escaped from home, where did you get the money for the surgery?"

"Liu Gang gave it to me." Liu Xiao'e explained: "Actually, the doctor he found was a showman. He would never dare to perform major surgery, and he could barely do minor surgeries. He cut open both sides of my cleft lip, and then sewed it up.

, I rested for a while and had my stitches removed.”

As she spoke, she raised her head and pointed at the remaining scars on the surface of her lips.

The overall lip line is still intact, but the scar is larger and the stitching marks can still be seen.

Ding Jian asked doubtfully: "Can this...be considered plastic surgery?"

Liu Xiao'e answered honestly: "Compared with my previous appearance, it has changed a lot and is much better. Before the surgery, almost all of my upper gums were exposed and my lips were like rabbits. Now at least I can remove them."

Take off the mask and just lower your head when walking."

Hu Pingtao knew something in his mind: "This surgery shouldn't cost much, right?"

Liu Xiao'e replied: "It cost two thousand yuan."

Ding Jian opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Only two thousand?"

Liu Xiao'e nodded: "Yes. Liu Gang said that the doctor was his friend and gave him a cost price."

Hu Pingtao explained to Ding Jian: "There are many types of plastic surgery. There are no more than three situations when it comes to reckless practices like hers. One is that the postoperative recovery is good, the skin surface is smooth, and no residual scars are visible; 2.

The first one is normal recovery, as she is now, there are some residues, but the overall impact is not big; the third one is the worst, the wound becomes suppurated and even needs to be repaired again."

"Generally speaking, the charging standards for cosmetic surgery are very complex and confusing. If you are serious about robbing people, you can ask for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. But in fact, you can't spend that much money at all, so two thousand yuan

This is really a good price.”

At this point, Hu Pingtao turned to Liu Xiao'e and asked puzzledly: "But I don't understand, Liu Gang is not related to you, why should he pay this money for you?"

Liu Xiao'e was a little embarrassed: "Liu Gang said that he is very optimistic about me and thinks that I will become very beautiful after the operation. He...he wants me to be his girlfriend."

"He even made a joke to me at the time, saying that all fat people have potential, as long as they lose weight."

Ding Jian touched his chin and sighed: "This guy is indeed a talent."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Do you have any previous photos? Show them to me."

Liu Xiao'e said: "Only the ID card."

"Okay." Hu Pingtao nodded.

Liu Xiao'e's appearance on the ID card is indeed ugly. Especially her split upper lip, which gives her an indescribable feeling of horror.

Compared to her now, it can even be said that they are two completely different people.

Hu Pingtao returned the ID card to Liu Xiao'e and asked puzzledly: "Since Liu Gang treats you well, why didn't you marry him?"

Liu Xiao'e explained with a wry smile: "Actually, I was very grateful to him at the time. After all, no one was willing to spend such a large amount of money on me for surgery. Of course, in the eyes of you city people, two thousand yuan doesn't count.

It was a lot. But at that time, it seemed to me that it was already an astronomical figure."

"I found out later that Liu Gang was married and had a daughter. He worked in a company and was often away from home. His wife didn't bother to take care of him. Liu Gang's parents died early and left two sets.

The house is given to him. He usually lives in one with his wife and daughter, and rents out the remaining one. Adding his salary, he can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, which is pretty good."

"The reason why Liu Gang fell in love with me was that I had a good figure, and he felt that I came from the village, had no brains, had little knowledge, was easy to control, and would not go out to look for men behind his back."

Hu Pingtao asked doubtfully: "Why, he wants you to give birth to her child?"

Liu Xiao'e shook her head: "That's not true. I was with him, and he came to see me every time. Later, he helped me pay my rent for a whole year. Once I was pregnant, he even took me to the hospital for an abortion.

Had an abortion.”

Ding Jian interjected from the side: "It should be fresh and exciting."

Liu Xiao'e continued: "Liu Gang pays great attention to hygiene and asks me to take a shower every time he comes over."

Hu Pingtao asked: "What about now? After you married Cao Zhong, did you still have any contact with Liu Gang?"

Liu Xiao'e was silent for a moment, then raised her head: "These are two different things. In fact, I like Liu Gang very much, and I am willing to be an underground couple with him. He still gave me tens of thousands of dollars in bits and pieces, which I usually don't spend much.

Money, just from him

I saved more than 20,000 yuan with the money I got from the Internet. I lived very happily in those years and found a job as a storekeeper near where I lived. Although the money was small, only 1,500 yuan a month, Liu Gang often came here to look for me.

I'm adjusting, and I'm already very content."

"The last time Liu Gang came to see me, he said he was divorced."

"He has more than just me outside. One of them was discovered by his wife and caused trouble at work. He really had no choice but to sign the divorce agreement. The children and the house belong to his wife."

"I said I can ask for nothing. As long as he is willing, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to get the certificate tomorrow."

"He said forget it, he wants to be quiet."

"He left at night, and later...I couldn't find him, and he never contacted me."

"I was still very disappointed during that time. I originally wanted to save more money and have the nose and glasses surgeries done at the same time, but after Liu Gang left, I couldn't find anyone to help me with advice. In the past, I couldn't find anyone to help me.

There is also no news about the doctor who did my mouth surgery. I went to the hospital and found out that the two costs combined would cost at least 100,000 yuan, and the nose alone would cost 40,000 yuan."

"I quit my job in a clothing store because I really couldn't save any money."

"Because I had lip surgery, I gained some confidence. In fact, I didn't know much about wearing clothes before. Later, I helped customers choose in the store, and I also learned to buy a few sets. That's...

…It’s very revealing, mainly to make men like it.”

"I started going to nightclubs. Men approached me even though I was wearing a mask, but when I took off the mask, they were not interested in me. Some of them even cursed me and told me to get out."

"I have been wandering outside for several months with almost no income."

"Later, I met Cao Zhong."

"I met him near the wholesale market. I was shopping outside after dinner that day. I planned to go back to the rental house around ten o'clock. When I reached the intersection, I felt a little hungry. There happened to be a fried potato stall, so I went

I walked over and planned to buy one."

"The fried potatoes that had just come out of the pot were very hot and the temperature was very high. As soon as I took it, the plastic bag broke and all the fried potatoes and ingredients spilled out. Cao Zhong happened to be buying food nearby, and the mess was splashed on

It was on his pants. I quickly took out a tissue and wiped it for him. While he complained about me, he walked to a place with few people nearby and took out a tissue to wipe his pants."

"I was wearing a short skirt and a mask that day. The fried potatoes were full of oil and I couldn't wipe them clean. I apologized to Cao Zhong, but he stared at me and said they were new pants he bought for more than three hundred.

He said that everything is ruined now and asked me what should I do?"

"I don't want to lose money. Although it's already dark and I can't see clearly, the quality of his pants feels average to me. Of course, three hundred yuan is not expensive, but I don't have any money with me, so it's impossible for him to say how much.

That’s how much.”

"I suddenly ran out of ideas, but Cao Zhong said at this time that he had seen me around here several times and knew that I was engaged in that kind of business. How about I go back with him and accompany him once, and this matter will be over.

Already."
