Chapter 12 Trying to pick a fight while secretly wanting to become a vampire? Aren't you ashamed...?

Qiu Xiaoman doesn't want to acknowledge this mother!

Especially when she thought about how, in her previous life, when she died of a high fever, her mother was holding a young lover and asking him what he wanted for his birthday.

That nausea and vomiting were all swept up by an overwhelming hatred, turning into a boundless, raging sea that engulfed her.

Therefore, she is fixated on this, which is why she cannot break through the bottleneck.

However, she didn't come back this time to reunite with them. She just wanted to live well, to live better than any of them, and then watch them make a fool of themselves.

Because she didn't believe that her parents' blended family would live a harmonious and happy life.

Her father favored sons over daughters; who knows what kind of trouble his four children from his second marriage will cause in the future.

Her mother only cares about profit. When her second husband faced disaster, they abandoned each other. The young man she chose now, surely he wasn't after her youth and beauty? Who knows, he might run off with the family's money and live a carefree life one day.

In short, Qiu Xiaoman only wants to have fun, and if the opportunity arises, he will also take advantage of the situation to seek revenge.

She closed the door immediately, not wanting to give Chan Pak-wai a chance to speak.

However, Chan Pak-wai is a strong-willed person. Since her ex-husband gave her money and even mocked her for being poor, she would definitely give him money back.

She managed to reach in before the door could be sewn shut, grabbed Qiu Xiaoman's arm, and stuffed a thick wad of banknotes into Qiu Xiaoman's hand.

"Here, I'm not as rich as your father. Use this for now, and we'll talk if it's not enough." With that, Chen Baihui tossed her long hair, which was being blown by the night wind, and strode away.

Qiu Xiaoman looked down at the banknotes in her hand, and without hesitation, accepted them.

Money offered to her is money she shouldn't refuse; it's something they owe her.

I'll send the money to my adoptive parents tomorrow, and keep some for myself so I can make it until I get my first month's salary.

Qiu Xiaoman closed the door and put the money in her bag. Actually, she didn't quite understand what her strange parents were thinking. They wouldn't give her the money if she wrote a letter asking for it, and insisted that she come in person to ask for it.

Problem.

Back in the yard, she found that several children had come out after hearing the commotion.

Xiao Qiao was the most excited. Like a kitten, she pounced over, hugged her arm, and shouted, "Sister, you're finally back!"

Li Erhu was also there. He slept with Li Tuantuan and helped keep an eye on the group of children. After all, they were all minors, and if something happened to them, public opinion would crush them.

Li Erhu greeted Qiu Xiaoman with a smile: "You're back. I'm going back to sleep now."

"Thank you." Qiu Xiaoman glanced around the yard and noticed that two people were missing. She couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't Song Xiaomei and Song Xiaojun here?"

“They’re at the hospital,” Li Tuantuan quickly explained. “Something happened today while you were away…”

Qiu Xiaoman was very angry after hearing this, and quickly pulled Li Erhu aside to ask, "Can you try to talk to Song's parents again? Song Xiaojun actually tried to steal something, and she obviously needs her parents to discipline her."

“I tried to persuade them, but they wouldn’t admit it. When I pressed them, they asked me for evidence to prove that the two children were theirs. What could I do?” Li Erhu was in a difficult position; where was he supposed to get the evidence?

Qiu Xiaoman had no choice but to ask again: "Then... how about finding them an adoptive family? Song Xiaojun is going through a rebellious phase, and he definitely can't do without an elder to keep him in check. Song Xiaomei also spoils him. If this continues, I'm afraid the two siblings will both go down a path of no return."

"Let me think of a way. Please bear with it for a while and try to be more tolerant to avoid conflicts, okay?" Li Erhu also knew that these children were not Qiu Xiaoman's responsibility.

If these two children were sensible, no one would have driven them away, but they went too far.

Li Erhu put himself in Song Erhu's shoes and knew that the Song siblings could not be allowed to live, but his abilities were limited, so he could only help inquire about them.

Qiu Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, anyway, let's think of a way to arrange for some of the younger ones to go to school."

"Yes, I'm taking care of it, don't worry." Li Erhu was also helpless. These people were all from out of town and didn't even have household registration, so it would be very difficult for them to go to school.

Qiu Xiaoman nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

In the dead of night, Qiu Xiaoman counted the money in her hand.

Shen Qinghuai had 13,000 in his bag, Chen Baihui gave him 5,000, and the system gave him 6,000. He had spent more than 1,000 of it, but the rent was split up and the children gave her the money. So, with the 300 for the taxi and the 80 for the doctor's visit, he actually only spent less than 700 and had 5,300 left.

Looking at the system's "watching the drama unfold" task, because she only called the police and led them to the hideout of the human traffickers, and hasn't caught any of them yet, she only unlocked the intermediate reward—calling the police or tracking the human traffickers herself and providing the police with the latest information on their movements, with a reward of 5,000 yuan in cash and two random blue-quality blind boxes.

With that, plus the travel expenses she originally had, she had a total of over 28,000 yuan in her hands.

Then send back 25,000 yuan. Her adoptive parents don't owe her anything; that leg is a debt of gratitude she can never repay in her lifetime.

She kept over three thousand for herself in case something happened and she didn't have money to spend.

After collecting the money, she cooked the chicken leg, tore off the meat, gave two pieces to Mango, and saved the rest for the next few days. Then she laid the bones out in a row so Mango could smell them.

Congratulations! Mango's dog nose is very sensitive!

I passed the smell test without a single mistake.

Qiu Xiaoman was confident that after a few more days of getting to know Mango, she could go to the police station to recommend herself.

The next morning, Qiu Xiaoman planned to explore the nearby streets and alleys with Mango, and also get to know each other better and improve their teamwork.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the gate of the courtyard house, I saw a woman about to knock on the door. She was dressed in leather and fur, with gold earrings and bracelets, and a gold necklace that she deliberately displayed outside her clothes. She seemed eager to let the whole world know that her man was rich.

Their eyes met, and the frost on the woman's face was colder than the surrounding snow.

The person who arrived was none other than Liang Yuting.

She had already bribed the driver; she knew exactly where Shen Qinghuai had gone and who he had met.

She had planned to come and make a scene last night, but her son is still young and can't be separated from her, so she had to hold back until this morning.

Upon seeing Qiu Xiaoman, Liang Yuting's eyes instantly turned red with anger.

Qiu Xiaoman frowned and looked her over: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Liang Yuting kept her distance, glaring at her stepdaughter with resentment.

Before she could even speak, she exhaled hot breath and sneered, "You look perfectly capable, so why don't you think about earning your own living instead of becoming a vampire? Aren't you ashamed?"

Qiu Xiaoman recognized this woman; she had seen her several times in her previous life when her spirit wandered after she died.

In short, this woman is a traitor who has been successfully brainwashed by patriarchal ideology.

It's very mean to the three daughters!

Especially her two older daughters, who are not as cute as her younger daughter and not as precious as her son, are constantly being ordered around by her, as if she were raising two enemies.

And this is how she dares to come here and mock her husband's daughter with his ex-wife?

First, think about whether your daughter will hate her.

Qiu Xiaoman retorted rudely, "Are you introducing yourself, Mrs. Shen?"
