Chapter 103: Asking my younger sister for information (2)

Ye Na's lunch was even simpler. She just stewed the meat of exotic beasts, chopped it up and ate it with a white steamed bun.

The smell was so delicious that Ye Xiaomei forgot about her pork trotter rice noodles.

"What kind of meat does Big Sister eat?"

"Exotic beast meat. The awakened must eat exotic beast meat to maintain their strength."

"What happens when the power is gone?"

"An awakened person cannot use his own abilities. For example, I don't have the strength to take things from space."

“Can ordinary people eat it?”

"Yes, and no."

"don't know."

Ye Na wiped her hands, took out her mobile phone from the space, opened the Awakener app, and found a post about an ordinary person eating exotic beast meat for the first time.

This is a common sense guide, instructing the awakened ones on how to safely feed exotic beast meat to the elderly and children at home, how to deal with any abnormal reactions, etc. Because the energy contained in the meat may not be something that ordinary people can handle, one has to try slowly and step by step at the beginning.

"Do you know all the characters now? Take a look at this article to learn some common sense."

Ye Bing read it hastily. He didn't quite understand it, but he still grasped the key words.

"Ordinary people can't stand the meat of exotic animals. If they eat it carelessly, they will get a stomachache, right?"

"Yes, so you can only watch me eat, and the only thing I have on you is this noodle."

"Yeah, I eat noodles, and my elder sister eats exotic beast meat."

"Don't worry about eating meat. Wait until I figure out what's wrong with my parents' debt. I'll find a good day to take you to eat meat. With me watching you, you won't get an upset stomach."

"Well, call the two brothers as well."

"Okay, they eat too."

"Don't give it to my parents."

"Don't give them food, they don't deserve it."

Ye Bing was extremely happy, as if he had returned to the days when he had his elder sister's support in everything.

Ye Nai watched her little sister's face covered with oil as she gnawed on the pig's trotter. In fact, with her spores and mycelium, it would be fine for Ye Bin to eat some exotic beast meat, but the main reason for not letting her eat it was because he didn't want to keep any memories of it.

Well-cooked exotic animal meat tastes better than the meat of ordinary poultry and livestock. Ye Bing is young, and he can't forget the taste after tasting it, so he can't help but let it slip in his daily life.

Ye Bing tried hard to eat half a bowl of rice noodles. He was so full that he burped and looked at the remaining half bowl with regret.

"There's still a piece of pig's trotter left to eat."

"Don't force yourself if you can't eat. If you get indigestion, vomit, or have diarrhea when you get home, you'll get beaten again, and it will also expose the fact that I've been back. Come, take some digestive pills."

Ye Nai took out a plate of digestive chewable tablets and gave four to her sister. Then she cleaned up the leftover noodles, cleared the table, and put paper and pen on it.

"Okay, now tell me about the family debt. Tell me everything you know."

"I've only seen it twice, once before the exam and once after the exam before the holiday."

"Besides telling you to ask your parents to pay you back as soon as possible, did they threaten you personally?"

"They said they would sell me off if my parents couldn't pay back the money. Is that a threat?"

"Of course it counts. And as for the debt collectors, they can really do it. They will sell boys and girls, and even take away the house you live in to pay off the debt."

"Ah? Where are we going to live if the house is taken away?"

"Before the house was taken, you were sold to pay off the debt. Worry about yourself." "Then what should I do?"

"Win over Ye Xuan and Ye Ji, and let them know that if the family debt cannot be repaid, these two teenage boys are the perfect age to be trained as thugs."

"What about a little girl like me? What would happen?"

"The most direct way is to become a child prostitute. If you are good-looking, you will be made into a human doll and sold to rich people as a high-end art collection."

"……what?!"

Ye Nai's words really shocked Ye Bing's young mind, and he was stunned.

"Child trafficking is best done when the child is young and doesn't remember anything. You are already in school. Child prostitution is the most common thing. It has become an industry. The debt collectors are profiting from it, so they work so hard to collect debts. They ask for several times the interest on a small amount of principal, deliberately making it difficult for people to pay back so that they can do whatever they want."

"No wonder you said last night that you've never seen your parents' money, is that how they've spent their money over the years?"

"If this is true, it's very scary. They have managed to hold on for so many years, but now they can't hold on anymore. What on earth did they do?"

"I don't know. My mother gives me some money for groceries every day and asks me to keep accounts like you do. I don't know anything else."

"It seems I have to go directly to the debt collectors."

"How are you going to find it?"

"We may be lucky and they will show up soon, or I may hire a private detective to help me keep an eye on them. It's almost the New Year and I don't know if anyone will take the order."

"Are private detectives very capable?"

"Not necessarily. I don't have any connections in this area. I can only find someone at random and ask him to do some background checks to find out who the creditor is and why my parents are in debt."

"How about I go home and ask my parents?"

"You can't ask them. They won't tell you the truth when you are young. You can only ask others to check."

"Then what can I do?"

"Don't do anything. Don't tell anyone I'm back when you get home. Just do what you normally do and watch your mouth. Don't talk nonsense."

"Then I'll be dumb. Anyway, they don't care whether I speak or not at home."

"Yes, don't let them find out anything unusual. Leave the rest to me."

"If we do this, how long will it take to resolve it?"

"It's hard to say. Everything depends on whether my parents really owed debts, how much they owed, how long they owed, whether they really want to pay it back, and whether the creditor wants to get the money back or take the opportunity to swallow up our entire family. We have to investigate all this information first before we can come up with a countermeasure."

"The best case scenario is that they don't owe you any debt, they just want money from you, big sister, so they put on an act."

"Yes, if they are acting to cheat me out of money, that's fine. I earn the money, and the money is in my hands. If I don't give it to them, they can't take it away. But involving the three of you underage people is a crime worthy of death."

"The worst case scenario is that I really owe money and can't pay it back, so I ask my eldest sister for money, but my eldest sister has just started to earn money and can't pay it back either. What should I do then?"

"No big deal. Whoever owes the money will be responsible for it. The most I can do is take the three of you away. I was serious last night. If you want me to be your eldest sister and your mother, you have to transfer the custody of the three of you to me, including the state subsidy. I will be your parent in the future. But taking you away will cause other troubles."

"What trouble?"

"I work in a dangerous area. There are no schools there, so you can't go to school. It's better for children to live in the city, but I can't run back and forth, and it takes several hours to take a bus. I left at dawn this morning, and I just arrived before you came back."

Ye Bing slumped his shoulders in a slightly dejected manner.

"What should we do then, big sister?"

"Don't think too much, just figure out the debt issue first."

"Well, then I'll go home and pretend I know nothing and do whatever I need to do."
