The young girl, filled with fervor, prepared to crash headfirst into the brick wall beside the doorframe, determined to end it all. However, she was swiftly intercepted by Kujou, who exclaimed, "Hey! What are you doing? Why are you so angry? You’re not really in danger; your family thinks you are! They believe you’re bringing shame upon them, so you want to give up on life, right?"
Tears began to flow silently down her cheeks. It seemed that this girl had been misunderstood, and the misunderstanding was quite significant.
Looking at the crying girl and the man inside still shouting—Zhong Ren—Kujou made a bold decision. "Fine! If your family doesn’t want you, I’ll take you!"
With that, Kujou handed the girl over to One and kicked the door open with a forceful kick. The wooden doors flew off their hinges and crashed into a tree in the yard with a loud thud.
Zhong Ren, who had been wailing on the ground, suddenly fell silent and turned to see his ruined door and the returning Japanese Military Police, his face filled with shock.
"You worthless fool! I saved your daughter's honor, and without asking any questions, you pushed her out! What kind of person does that make you?"
"She’s no longer pure! She’s been ruined! And by the Japanese—what a sin!"
"Bah! You pathetic coward! You didn’t believe me when I told you! Look at yourself; it seems like you don’t want your daughter anymore! Here! Take this money! Your daughter is no longer your concern! If you don’t want her, I will!"
As he spoke, Kujou pulled out a handful of yen from his pocket and tossed it right into Zhong Ren's face without even counting it.
Caught off guard by the money hitting him, Zhong Ren didn’t have time to react as Kujou continued without giving him a chance to speak.
Zhong Ren looked down at the pile of yen—more than ten bills of high denomination—over a thousand yen in total!
Although at this time yen wasn’t worth as much as silver dollars compared to the dollar exchange rate, over a thousand yen still held considerable value!
What? Selling his daughter? He was profiting from this situation! Even if she was Japanese, the money in his hands was real!
Just as Zhong Ren was about to chase after them, his daughter and the Gendarmerie were already getting into the car.
The convoy continued onward toward their designated temporary camp.
Inside the vehicle, Kujou quietly comforted the young girl. "Don’t worry about that useless father of yours who just sold you. You can live your life however you want from now on; there’s no need to seek death anymore. Just focus on living well!"
The girl stopped crying and instead became unusually calm. She nodded quietly. She understood what he was saying and looked at this tall and handsome Japanese soldier who had bought her with money. Although she had received an education, many old thoughts lingered in her mind. Since her father had sold her, she realized that she now belonged to this man whose name she didn’t even know.
"Alright then," she thought. "I’ll follow you from now on."
"Hey! By the way, girl, you've been studying, right? I see you're wearing a school uniform."
"I just started high school!"
"Great! Harbin, I'll help you continue your studies!"
"Huh?" The young girl was caught off guard; this seemed a bit different from what she had expected.
