Chapter 143: Escape from Responsibility

As soon as Lin Anan got home, she took the two children and went out again.

The three of them got on the bus and planned to go to Xiguan Department Store first.

"Sister-in-law will take you to the state-owned restaurant for lunch."

"Great~"

Coincidentally, there were quite a few people from the military compound on the bus, including a few children, who were classmates of Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu.

Children just love to join in the fun, and when they meet, they like to sit in a group.

One of them said he wanted to go somewhere, and another said he wanted to buy something to eat. They were very happy.

Lin Anan did not stop him. She sat alone in a single seat not far from the door and rested with her eyes slightly closed. There were many people in the bus and it was quite warm. The swaying all the way was like hypnosis...

"Aunt, do you know about the Pan family incident?"

"How could I not know? You see how reckless these kids are nowadays. They say they have free love, but the next thing you know, they're pregnant!"

"Yes, people in our generation were so simple, there was no such thing."

"That's right. I heard that the girl's family went to the art troupe and demanded an explanation. The two guys from the Pan family, one said the other did it, and there's still no conclusion."

Lin Anan opened her eyes slightly and listened to the discussion of the two aunts next to her.

As expected, the melon should be tasted better from the mouths of aunts.

The girl who was in the accident was named Zhang Xi. She was only seventeen years old and was from Huaping Village. She was friends with a little girl in the military compound, and through this she became friends with the Pan brothers.

No wonder Dai Lihua said that the girl’s family is not good, they are indeed not good!

His mother died early, and his father was a compulsive gambler who was idle every day. Not only did he not earn two work points, but he also caused trouble and stole things all day long. He had a bad reputation in all the villages around him.

"This girl is actually quite nice, but she has too many responsibilities. It's not easy to marry her. Just having a father like this is nothing. She still has three younger brothers to support!"

"I heard that this girl is very capable and gets full work points every day. The whole family depends on her. Now that such a big thing has happened, the Pan family will be reluctant to let go of such a capable 'cow'. They will definitely blame the Pan family."

The bus continued to sway forward, and Lin Anan listened all the way.

There are people who praise the girl, but it is hard to avoid being vulgar. Most people only say it with their mouths, but they still look down on her in their hearts.

Zhang Xi is Chen Chaoxia’s friend. The incident happened when Chen Chaoxia took her to another friend’s house a few years ago.

Chen Zhaoxia...

Lin Anan frowned slightly.

She had seen this person before. She was Tang Jingqiao's little follower. When Shi Lai Di was blocking people on the road and making things difficult for them that day, she was the one jumping around the most happily!

Soon we arrived at Xiguan Department Store.

Lin Anan took Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu out of the car.

No matter how much she said, they were all one-sided words. Just listen to them. She didn't have the mentality of saving people from suffering. There were so many poor people in this world. She would do her best according to her ability. She only knew that Pan Guoyang was a good person and hoped that he could get out of trouble smoothly.

The department store is bustling with people coming and going.

Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu looked around excitedly, holding Lin Anan's hand, looking at this and that.

Lin Anan took the two of them directly to the stationery counter.

"Sister-in-law, I want this pencil case with Lei Feng's pattern on it." Chu Mingyu pointed to a pencil case and said with shining eyes.

"Okay, buy it." Lin Anan nodded with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want it. I have everything."

Chu Minglan's eyes were bright, and the love in them could hardly be contained, but her mouth still refused.

Lin Anan didn't respond to her, but pointed to the schoolbag hanging not far away, "Hello, comrade, I want two schoolbags."

"OK."

The salesperson hurriedly took down two schoolbags and handed them to Lin Anan.

It is a military green crossbody bag made of canvas, with an adjustable shoulder strap with a movable buckle. There is a red five-pointed star printed on one side and "Study hard" printed on the other side.

Lin Anan checked everything inside and out and nodded, "These two are fine. We also need two pencil cases, a box of pencils, two erasers, two small pencil sharpeners, a notebook..."

Finally, I bought some book wrapping paper for Chu Minglan. It was pink and very beautiful.

After Lin Anan picked out the stationery, she paid for it, packed it up, and put it in two schoolbags. "Xiaolan, Xiaoyu, here you go."

Chu Mingyu was so happy that he was spinning around with his schoolbag in his arms.

Although Chu Minglan refused verbally, she happily took her share at this moment.

After coming out of the department store, Lin Anan looked at the time. It was almost noon, so she went straight to the state-owned restaurant.

Along the way, Chu Mingyu was jumping up and down, holding Lin Anan's hand, and he never stopped talking about how great he was at studying, how great he was, and how great he was with so many stationery items, he would be even better...

When we arrived at the state-owned restaurant, it was almost full.

Lin Anan finally found an empty table in the corner, and then sat down with Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu.

She lives a peaceful life with delicious food.

There was chaos over at the art troupe!

Zhang's father rolled on the ground and acted like a tyrant. Not only did he want the Pan family to marry his daughter, but he also wanted them to pay compensation!

Father Zhang: "My boys are still young, and they still need Dani to work for them! If you marry Dani, she will have to help my family, at least..." He held up three fingers, and then changed it to five, "At least five years, you have to work for my family, otherwise I will sue you step by step, and no one will have a good life!"

The Pan family also cried and raged, saying that it was unjust and that their lives were miserable...

In the end, it was the director of the art troupe who spoke up and got the two families to stop arguing and sit down to talk.

Pan's mother beat her chest and stamped her feet, holding Pan Guohe and crying, "Dear leaders, this is a misfortune for my family! We didn't say we were irresponsible, but my eldest son...

He still doesn't dare to come. It's obvious that he wants to evade responsibility. He dares to do it but not to take the responsibility! It's because of his bad behavior time and time again that my little river has been implicated."

When Pan's mother said this, Lu Qing and the others all frowned.

"My family is not well off, and the most we can give as a betrothal gift is fifty eggs, which we probably don't have anymore, and Xiaoxi is already pregnant..."

Mother Pan wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Lu Qing, "Okay, Auntie, please stop talking."

Lu Qing was so angry when he saw the chaotic scene in front of him!

He was praised by his leader just now, but he was humiliated like this the next moment.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will affect the reputation of the art troupe and even the entire military region.

Lu Qing looked at Zhang's father and said seriously, "Comrade Zhang, we have heard your request, but this matter must be handled according to the rules.

First we need to figure out who is responsible before we can discuss the follow-up. Now the Pan brothers have different opinions, and we cannot draw conclusions based on one side alone."

Zhang's father got anxious when he heard this. He jumped up and said, "Why are you still investigating? It must be one of the two Pan family members who did it. How can my daughter lie? You military district cannot cover up for her!"
