Aunt Chen moved the things over and settled Xie Zhi in. She helped Xie Zhi, who was covered in injuries, to lie down in the recliner. There was a quilt under the recliner and another quilt on top of it.

While helping him up, Aunt Chen noticed Xie Zhi's body trembling and the constant groans coming from his mouth. After thinking for a moment, she went outside to buy painkillers and also spent money to buy a military water bottle, filled it with water, and hung it on Xie Zhi's body.

Fearing that the madman wouldn't be able to drink water on his own, Aunt Chen even taught him how to drink.

A nanny like that really worries me.

Moreover, she hadn't received her salary for this month yet. Even though she had no salary to pay, she still came to help Xie Zhi. Despite her reluctance, she told herself that she was helping Xiao Tian and Xiao Li.

After Aunt Chen left, Xie Zhi lay in the comfortable recliner, overwhelmed with emotions. He closed his eyes and couldn't stop crying.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. When he was in his prime, none of the brothers and buddies who had benefited from him offered a helping hand. When they heard about his misfortune, they all chose to avoid him. It was difficult to even meet them, let alone ask for their help. In the past, Xie Zhi was always the one who was taken advantage of when it came to money. But when he fell on hard times, not a single one of them helped him.

On the contrary, his enemies came to his aid. The family that he and Lanyin had been trying to harm disregarded past grievances and took in Xiaotian and Xiaoli, as well as Aunt Chen. In the past, he had never paid any attention to Aunt Chen, thinking she was just a servant. If it weren't for the fact that his two children had been with her since they were little, he probably would have replaced Aunt Chen as a servant long ago.

If he had listened to Lan Yin and replaced Aunt Chen in the past, he would probably be starving or freezing to death now and no one would care.

......

Inside a house in the suburbs, Xiang Qiuyun was speaking to Lan Yin. "That's it, Xie Zhi has completely gone mad, you can push everything onto him now."

"Haha." Lan Yin laughed twice, looking up at the sky. "Xie Zhi, Xie Zhi, how can you be so easily provoked? A man with such no fighting spirit is really boring. I thought I would have to fight a long battle with you before I could show my face. Now it's all right, I'm safe and sound. Go crazy, just keep going crazy."

"Yinzi, can we go back to our own home now?" Li Chunxiang and Lan Guangxue were also living in the rented house in the suburbs. They were afraid that the debt collectors would come looking for them. Although they had sent them away with the divorce certificate before, if they couldn't get the money from Xie Zhi, they would definitely come back to bother her.

"Wait a little longer!" Lan Yin warned Lan Guangxue. "Don't go looking for that woman Xie Xiuhua. Don't think I don't know you've made money. I know about the houses you bought outside. If you want to keep your money and houses, you'd better stay here and wait until Xie Zhi's matter is settled before we go out."

"Xie Zhi has gone mad, why are we still hiding in this godforsaken place?" Lan Guangxue has now fallen in love with the prosperity and liveliness of the provincial capital. It would be so much better to go to a teahouse to drink tea and play cards. This house in the suburbs is in a remote location, and it's impossible to find someone to chat with.

Like Lan Guangxue, Wang Xiaobao said, "Qiuyun and I wanted to learn to ice skate at that newly opened rink, but we can't go out. What are we going to do? Free lessons on the first day of opening, what a great opportunity!"

"Who said I wanted to go ice skating with you?" Xiang Qiuyun had no respect for a hoodlum like Wang Xiaobao. She had agreed to his request before so that he would cooperate. Now that they had taken over Xie Zhi's assets, Wang Xiaobao was no longer of any use to her. She would never be with someone like Wang Xiaobao.

This time, she and Wang Xiaobao were both heroes, each receiving three thousand yuan. Three thousand is quite a lot; it's enough for her to buy the public housing she currently lives in. If she buys it directly from the real estate company, it won't even cost a thousand yuan; she can buy it outright for eight hundred yuan. Her neighbor bought it for eight hundred yuan and then resold it for a thousand yuan.

The house was too old and difficult to repair, so the houses in their courtyard were allowed to be bought out by private individuals. She only needed to pay 800 yuan to buy the public rental housing, and then she and her mother would not have to pay rent anymore. Although the rent was very cheap, the feeling of owning it was different. She could speak louder than others in the courtyard.

Lan Guangxue didn't buy the house next door; he bought a better place, but Wang Xiaobao still rents there.

"Xiang Qiuyun, what do you mean?" Wang Xiaobao acted as if he had nothing to lose. "You're not going to kick me out after I've served my purpose, are you?"

"So what if I cross the river and then burn the bridge?" Xiang Qiuyun puffed out her chest. "Besides, didn't you take what you deserved?"

"You, Xiang Qiuyun, do you think I'm easy to bully?" Wang Xiaobao jumped up and was about to hit her.

Lan Yin reached out to stop her. "Stop fooling around!"

"Lan Yin, you heard it too. This woman was just using me. Now that she doesn't need me anymore, she's turned her back on me." Wang Xiaobao still wanted to attack Xiang Qiuyun behind Lan Yin from both sides.

"Xiao Bao, you shouldn't force Qiu Yun." Lan Yin winked at him. "You can't force feelings. Now that you have money, what kind of woman can't you have? You know who Qiu Yun has her eye on. It's just a pity that Jiang Yi is with that little bitch Xiao Moxi now. Sigh, it's like a flower falling for a stream that has no feelings."

Lan Yin was trying to provoke Qiu Yun, hoping that Qiu Yun would target Xiao Moxi again.

After their last failure, they focused all their energy on Xie Zhi. Now, they finally have the time and opportunity again.

Wang Xiaobao and Lan Yin were old partners, so he naturally understood what Lan Yin meant. As long as Xiang Qiuyun was unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to take revenge on Xiao Moxi, then Wang Xiaobao would still have value to him.

If Xiang Qiuyun uses him again, he will definitely strike first and sleep with her first. Once the deed is done, she won't be able to back out.

Sure enough, Xiang Qiuyun rolled her eyes and immediately turned to Wang Xiaobao, saying, "Xiaobao, if you can disfigure that bitch Xiao Moxi this time, I'll agree to date you."

She was thinking to herself, "It's just a relationship, I don't want to marry him. I'll let him disfigure Xiao Moxi first, and then dump him."

Anyway, if she can't have the man Qiu Yun can't have, she won't let Xiao Moxi have him either. Lan Yin thinks the same way: if they cripple Xiao Moxi, Jiang Yi will find another woman. They would rather another woman take advantage of the situation than let that wild girl Xiao Moxi get Jiang Yi.

“Okay, I promise I’ll disfigure Xiao Moxi.” Wang Xiaobao nodded at Lan Yin, thinking to himself, “You really have a way.”

"I told you two to stop talking and hurry up and get something to eat. I'm starving," Lan Yin said, rubbing her rumbling stomach. "We've been hiding from XZ all day, and we've finally settled down here. And you two aren't even going to get anything to eat?"

"Give me the money." Wang Xiaobao held out his hand. "I'll ride my bicycle and take Qiuyun to buy it right now."

Lan Yin tossed a wad of cash to Wang Xiaobao. "Here, buy some more food so you don't have to go out to buy anything tomorrow morning."

Li Chunxiang and Lan Guangxue stared wide-eyed, thinking to themselves, "If I had known, I would have told them to go buy some food. It would have cost around a hundred yuan."
