Chapter 7 Treating Children Like Livestock

"Miss, we've arrived." The driver reminded Yan Songyu, skillfully parking the car in the shadows some distance away. "Miss, you're so beautiful, don't be sad over a jerk, it's not worth it. A brighter future awaits you."

"Thank you, driver!" Yan Songyu casually handed the driver several large red bills, which looked to be over a thousand yuan.

The driver grinned from ear to ear; that's why he liked picking up these kinds of passengers—he could earn a hefty reward by simply offering a little emotional support.

Yan Songyu followed behind Jiang Chengli all the way. Zhao Qi greeted her at the alley entrance. This place was a mixed bag, and he dared not let the young lady walk alone.

"Miss Yan, the view here is good." Zhao Qi led Yan Songyu to the house diagonally opposite the Zhou family's house. There was a small loft there where they could see the Zhou family's small courtyard.

The dim light inside the house couldn't reach the shadows under the tree. Jiang Chengli hid under the tree and spied on them. Zhou Yue hadn't contacted him since she left with the child, seemingly determined to keep the secret.

creak—

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Chengli instinctively hid behind a tree.

Zhou Yue carried out a basin of dirty water and casually poured it into the stinking ditch in front of the door. The stench made Jiang Chengli frown.

"Mom, Mom~"

Zhou Mu crawled around on the dirty ground, but Zhou Yue ignored her, sitting on the stool eating noodles. She even kicked Zhou Mu away when she crawled over.

"Waaaaah~ Mommy~ Waaaaah waaaah~"

"Cry, cry, all you do is cry. It's so annoying every day. If you cry again, I'll just kill you."

Zhou Yue cursed irritably. To shut Zhou Mu up, she picked up a chopstick of noodles and threw it on the ground. "Crawl over there and pick it up to eat."

Zhou Mu seemed to be used to it. He stopped crying and crawled to the noodles on his hands and feet, then lay down on the ground and started gnawing on them.

Upon seeing this scene, Yan Songyu's pupils visibly dilated, and she trembled with rage. Zhou Yue, she actually treated the child like livestock!

"Huh? Hahaha..." Yan Songyu laughed in extreme anger, and finally laughed until tears streamed down her face.

Seeing her emotional state, Zhao Qi explained, "She treats the child like this every day when she's in the mood, and luckily the child looks weak but is very resilient."

After finishing his meal, Zhou Mu, his mouth covered in dust, looked at Zhou Yue again, "Mom, Mom..."

Zhou Yue threw another noodle into another spot, and Zhou Mu crawled over to eat it...

After several repetitions, Zhou Yue finished her meal and, seemingly amused by Zhou Mu's appearance, ladled the last bit of soup and a few noodles from her own bowl and placed them in front of Zhou Mu, saying, "Eat up, you debt collector."

Zhou Mu didn't understand anything, but he happily drank from the bowl.

Jiang Chengli was shocked by this scene. No matter what, she was his own daughter. How could she be raised like a dog?

But he couldn't go out and stop her. He didn't want to provoke Zhou Yue, and he didn't want to rot and stink in such a place for the rest of his life.

At this moment, Jiang Chengli stood in front of the dilapidated house, completely sober, and realized it was all worth it!

Yan Songyu watched Jiang Chengli's retreating figure and sneered, "The slums in the South District are a mixed bag; robbery is quite common there..."

Zhao Qi nodded, "The brothers have just returned from dinner."

"Zhou Yue...don't let her have too much free time."

"Okay," Zhao Qi replied in a low voice, "I'll take care of it."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yan Songyu took out all the money from his wallet. "I'll treat the brothers to a late-night snack."

Zhao Qi quickly refused, "Miss Yan, you've already paid us. To be honest, we're embarrassed to accept such a high salary for such an easy job."

"You've wasted your talents, but you deserve it all. Take it and take me home later."

Seeing Yan Songyu's unyielding expression, Zhao Qi had no choice but to accept it. "Thank you on behalf of my brothers!"

After Jiang Chengli fled in panic, just as he was about to leave the dark alley, he was suddenly covered by a stick and knocked down. The stick came down on his head and face in quick succession. He only had time to protect his head and shout, "Stop! Who are you?"

Perhaps fearing recognition, these people remained silent until Jiang Chengli began to beg for mercy and mentioned his identity as the son-in-law of the Yan family, at which point these "thugs" stopped.

The Yan family is known to everyone in Shanghai.

However, Jiang Chengli's watch and ring were still taken, along with his wallet and phone.

He had just stood up, leaning against the wall, and before he could even take off his hood, a small figure returned carrying a steel pipe. The raised steel pipe slammed heavily onto Jiang Chengli's right leg.

"ah!"

One blow, two blows, three blows! Yan Songyu used all her strength.

The screams startled the birds sleeping in the trees, but no one opened the door to check. Instead, they all brought large pieces of furniture to reinforce the door. Jiang Chengli fainted from the pain and was not rescued until someone called the police the next morning.

When we got home, Feifei was already fast asleep, her little face rosy and her lips glistening with a suspicious silver light.

Yan Songyu couldn't help but laugh, the chill she had brought in from outside completely dissipating. After wiping Feifei's drool, she lowered her head and kissed her on the cheek, "Sweet dreams, baby!"
