Chapter 52 Distress

From that day on, Shao Yu never saw Zhang Ying again.

What happened in Yu Cong's family seemed like a nightmare. Apart from the fact that there was one less person in the family and that he had an extra sum of money in his hands for no reason, no one mentioned anything else.

Occasionally, Yang Liansheng would see others pointing fingers at his uncle and nephew behind their backs, and all they said were sour words.

They thought Yang Aiguo had become successful and had abandoned his wife.

Rumors are flying everywhere.

Yang Aiguo just smiled in vain. Preserving Zhang Ying's reputation was the last thing he promised.

Blame him for not being able to keep people.

…

Qin Qing spent most of the two months of summer vacation in the mountains. When school finally started, he found that half of his classmates were gone.

Teacher Liu's voice was filled with fatigue, but there was a hint of comfort in his eyes when he saw Qin Qing. If this child had not come, he would have almost collapsed.

The fat boy Zhu Zhu quietly asked Qin Qing, "Is there any commotion in your village?"

Qin Qing was confused. "What's going on?"

Zhu Zhu looked at herself as if she understood, and said mysteriously that their village had been in chaos for a long time. She heard that the village party secretary's wall was pried open in the middle of the night, and a lot of food was lost. The party secretary's mother was so angry that she cursed all night long.

It’s so lively.

These people will do anything for a little food.

Zhu Zhu's father got a big wolf dog from somewhere. It usually guards the yard and barks non-stop when there is any movement. Even when she went to school today, her father personally sent her there.

“So scary!”

Qin Qing sighed with lingering fear. No wonder Qin Zhilin hid the food so early. He must have anticipated this day.

Fortunately, these troubles haven't happened in their village yet, but at this rate, they will be unavoidable sooner or later.

Qin Qing felt a little depressed. She did have some food, but she didn't dare to take it out. This was unbelievable and most people couldn't accept it. The trend of the times was also unstoppable by human power.

Qin Qing was a little absent-minded in the following classes, but the teachers didn't care because most of the students in the class were in the same state.

The area affected this time is quite large.

After the school bell rang, Qin Qing packed her schoolbag and rushed out. She couldn't wait to tell everyone at home the news to prevent any accidents from happening.

The previously deserted path was even quieter now. The occasional passerby looked haggard and emaciated from hunger.

Qin Qing clutched the strap of her schoolbag tightly, unable to bear to look any longer.

Two thin men came towards me. They had unfamiliar faces and didn't look like people from this area at all. There was a strange light in their eyes.

One of the men, who was as thin as a stick, licked the corner of his mouth unconsciously, staring at the lone Qin Qing with a certain desire in his eyes.

It's like a wolf seeing meat.

"Little sister, you..." The man's footsteps gradually approached.

Qin Qing became alert instantly.

"Sister! What are you doing so fast!" Qin Tongtong chased after him, panting. Her tired hands quickly rested on Qin Qing's shoulders. Her two small eyes stared straight at the man, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

What an ugly skinny chicken.

The skinny man shut his mouth instantly. He naturally noticed Qin Zegang following behind him. There was a glint of unwillingness in his eyes, but he could only walk away silently.

The two little girls breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Zegang, who followed behind, glared fiercely at the two skinny men and glanced at his sister speechlessly.

"Mind your own business!"

Qin Tongtong didn't care what her brother said, she just followed him anyway.

Qin Qing pulled her sleeve sincerely.

"Thank you, Sister Tongtong, and cousin."

The boy walked away with a look of disdain, leaving Qin Tongtong blushing with embarrassment.
