Rick was thinking about what name to give the new group, but Uwa's stomach was growling with hunger. Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, ten o'clock arrived. Rick hadn't come up with a good name and was a little disappointed. He stood up and walked towards the meeting place, and Uwa followed him. The man in red was very surprised to see her. He thought the girl should have run away long ago. The other two groups came over after a while. Seeing that everyone was there, the man in red stretched out his hand and said, "How did everyone do tonight? Hand it all over!"

Rick was the first to walk over. He took out the twenty shillings he had prepared and handed it over. Uwa also handed hers in the same way. The man in red nodded with satisfaction and said to the other four, "What about you? Did you work for a whole night in vain?"

Another girl bowed her head and said, "I only got six shillings."

Only one of the other three boys completed the task. He took out twenty shillings from his pocket and said proudly, "This is mine."

The man in red nodded and announced on the spot, "Rick, Uwa, and Tenila have met the task requirements tonight. You will have breakfast tomorrow morning and sleep on the soft bed on the second floor at night."

The six people got in the car. Tenila glanced at Uwa and asked, "How did you earn twenty shillings when you just arrived?"

Uwa was about to speak, but Rick covered her mouth, "Don't tell him, this is our secret."

She nodded vigorously with her eyes wide open. The others were stretching their necks to listen to her method. After being stopped by Rick, everyone glared at him. There was no conversation along the way, and the car finally arrived at the destination. If Uwa could read, she would see a sign of "PK Motel" hanging in front of the building. Everyone got off the car, and the man in red led Uwa and the other two up to the second floor. He opened three rooms, and Rick entered the first one. Uwa lived next to him. The room was not big, but it was clean. Compared with the simple layout on the first floor, it was like heaven. There was a bed in the room, covered with linen sheets, and a table with three books and a water cup on it. Uwa felt that she was dirty, so she didn't sleep on the bed. She lay down on the floor directly.

The next day, a rapid knock on the door woke her up. She got up quickly, opened the door, and went downstairs. Rick had already gotten up. Uwa saw him and couldn't help but approach him. The man in red said to the three people who had completed the task, "Go have breakfast! Set off after you finish eating. The task during the day is to earn thirty shillings per person. If you don't complete it, you won't have dinner."

These words were obviously said to Uwa, who had just arrived. Of course, everyone has lunch at noon. Regardless of whether the task is completed or not, this is a basic guarantee.

Today's breakfast was fried dough. The golden dough looked crispy and crunchy, and everyone had a plate. Uwa's eyes widened as she looked at it. She was so hungry. After picking it up, she finished a plate of fried dough in a few bites. She licked her lips and looked around, with an expression that she was still not satisfied. Fortunately, she ate quickly. Rick's eyes were already looking at her, and it seemed that he was not full either.

After the three of them finished eating, they played for more than 20 minutes, and then everyone got in the car and set off. The location this time was different from the last time. It was an entertainment venue. After driving for half an hour, they finally arrived at the destination. The six people got off the car. After the man in red gave a few instructions, the three groups of people dispersed.

Rick took Uwa to the door of a cinema. It was more than eight o'clock in the morning, and the first movie had not started yet. He found a place to sit down, thinking about how to earn the thirty shillings today.

At this time, a family of three passed by. The young parents brought a lovely daughter. They walked and laughed as they walked towards the cinema. Rick felt disgusted. He was an orphan and couldn't stand seeing such a happy family. He had a mischievous idea in his mind and said to Uwa on the side, "Do you see the three people in front? The man owes me three hundred shillings. I finally met him this time. You help me to tie him up first. I will call someone; don't let him go before I come."

Uwa nodded and rushed over. She grabbed the man. The three people in the family were shocked. The man shouted anxiously, "What are you doing?"

"Where is the money owed? Three hundred shillings."

"What money?" the man was confused.

"Rick's money, he's there," when she turned around to find someone, Rick had disappeared. He was hiding in a corner and laughing. Uwa thought he was going to call someone, so she held him tightly. The woman looked at her husband and asked, "Richard, do you really owe her money?"

"I don't even know her, how can I owe her money?" the man defended.

"Little girl, did you recognize the wrong person?" the woman asked.

Uwa didn't know how to explain; she only remembered what Rick said. She shook her head and didn't let go. The two sides were in a stalemate. Seeing that the movie was about to start, the man thought he was unlucky and took out a hundred shillings and said to Uwa, "I don't know what happened, but I can only give you this money."

When Uwa saw the money in his hand, she immediately let go. Rick was overjoyed from a distance. He didn't expect that this shameless game would work. After the family of three left, he immediately showed up. Uwa handed the money over, and he was slightly disappointed to see that there was only a hundred shillings. Today, using this method, they earned a total of 230 shillings. Rick only gave Uwa five shillings and kept the rest for himself. At night, Uwa had to starve.

In this way, ten years passed, and the two of them left the "PK Motel". The sixteen-year-old Uwa also grew to a height of 1.75 meters. Of course, this was due to long-term hunger; otherwise, she should be taller. After growing, her voice became softer, but her body still looked stronger. If it weren't for the big breasts on her chest, it would be hard to mistake her for a girl.

Rick opened a restaurant with her, and the business was pretty good. Uwa worked like a robot, sleeping only three hours a day. She had to wash dishes, do laundry, take care of the child, and do all the housework in the kitchen.

Rick was married, of course, not to her. The child was two years old and knew how to recognize people. Now every time he saw Uwa, he would be scared and cry. Rick's wife was a mean woman. She always felt that Uwa ate too much and worked too little, which was disproportionate to her efforts. The woman always wanted to kick her out of the house, and this day the opportunity finally came.

Uwa was usually busy in the kitchen and the yard. Today she went upstairs to find a piece of clothing. The mother was playing with the child on the second floor. When Uwa appeared, the child was immediately scared and cried when he saw her face. This time was different from the past. The child was scared and wet his pants. The mother was furious, stood up, and kicked her hard, "Get out!"

Uwa staggered and fell backward. With a bang, the back of her head hit the wall, which made her dizzy. After a long time, she slowly stood up.

The next day, Rick said to her, "Uwa, I'll take you to a place today."

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"You'll know when we get there."

The two got in the car and drove for more than an hour to a wilderness. After getting off the car, Uwa asked, "Brother, what are we doing here?"

After ten years together, Rick asked with a little sadness, "Uwa, what is your dream?"

Uwa blurted out without thinking, "My dream is to get the most sincere praise in the world!"

Rick was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect Uwa to say such a beautiful sentence. He just asked casually and didn't expect her to answer. When Uwa said this, she seemed to become another person, and she was full of energy.
