Huo Changgen led Yao Qingqing to the nearest guesthouse.

They booked her a room.

Because she was too dirty, the guesthouse staff wouldn't let her in.

Huo Changgen had to plead and pay extra before they finally let her move in.

After letting her stay there for a while, Huo Changgen went to a nearby store and bought her two sets of clothes.

Li Xiangyun watched him bustling about.

I don't know what to say when I get home.

Yao Qingqing took a shower and changed into clean clothes, so that she would look presentable.

Huo Changgen nodded: "Qingqing, you stay here for now, and I'll go back and discuss it with your uncle."

Yao Qingqing nodded, picked up the paper and pen on the table and wrote: "Second Uncle, I know I went too far before."

"I have already been punished, I just hope to find a place to live."

Huo Changgen patted her head: "Good girl, you know you're wrong and you're correcting it. You stay here first, I'll go back and ask your uncle first."

"Don't worry, I won't let you be homeless again."

Huo Changgen and Li Xiangyun were about to leave, and Yao Qingqing felt reluctant to part with them.

She was afraid of being abandoned.

He grabbed Huo Changgen's sleeve and wouldn't let go.

"Qingqing, don't worry, I'm your uncle, I won't abandon you."

"I need to go back and tell your uncle."

Yao Qingqing was relieved to let them go.

Huo Changgen and Li Xiangyun walked home together.

Li Xiangyun was quite helpless: "Old man, what exactly do you want?"

"Will the third brother and the others agree to you bringing people home?"

Huo Changgen waved his hand: "I won't let her go to my house."

"But we can't just ignore it like this. Look at the state that child is in!"

"Even if she's a neighbor or a friend, we can't let her beg on the street."

"Besides, the third brother, Ningning, and the fifth brother are all important figures now. What if people find out?"

That's a stain.

"Here's what I'm thinking: take a look at the neighbors around here."

"Is there anyone who can accept her? Find her a family so they can be together and take care of each other, wouldn't that be good?"

"Or find her a job. As long as she's willing to do it, she won't have any problems making a living."

"The key is that the third brother and the others know what to do."

Li Xiangyun waved her hand: "You're just daydreaming. Look at her face, it looks so scary, she can't even speak."

"What family would want a daughter-in-law like this!"

Huo Changgen sighed: "Well, that means even if you find someone with poor conditions, someone will always want you."

"If all else fails, let her work and support herself."

Li Xiangyun didn't know what to say; Yao Qingqing deserved to end up like this.

"You tell them yourself, I don't care."

As they talked, they arrived home.

Huo Changgen hurriedly went to the neighboring courtyard.

The four elderly people sat together to discuss

"Brother, sister-in-law, I just ran into Qingqing on the street. She's been tortured beyond recognition. She's mute and her face is ruined."

"They begged on the streets and lived in the bridge tunnel."

“I just checked her into a guesthouse and bought her clothes and shoes.”

Huo Changlin was a little stunned: "Where did she come from?"

"How did we end up coming to Beijing?!"

Huo Changgen: "She said she traveled from the Northwest, and didn't know how long it took to get to Beijing."

"His health has deteriorated, and he's become incredibly thin."

"Brother, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Chang Lan is inside, she definitely can't get out. Should we help her or not?"

Huo Changlin nodded: "If you ask me, let's send her back to her hometown! There's land and food there, she won't go hungry."

"Besides, Tingting is still at home, and she and Zhang Youcai are doing quite well."

“If she goes back, the two sisters can take care of each other.”

Huo Changgen shook his head: "Brother, this is what I'm thinking: find her a family or a job."

Huo Changlin stood up: "Let's go see her first, ask her what she wants, and then make a decision."

The group hurriedly went to the guesthouse.

Just as Yao Qingqing was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door and looked at the four people standing in the doorway.

Tears streamed down my face.

She thought her second uncle didn't want her anymore.

I didn't expect you to be back so soon!

Huo Changlin looked at her in disbelief!

"How did it get like this?"

"He was perfectly fine when he left, how did he end up like this!"

Yao Qingqing mumbled something, but couldn't get any words out.

He only managed to utter a few hoarse sounds.

The four of them each found a place to sit down.

Huo Changlin spoke first: "Qingqing, what are your plans next?"

Yao Qingqing didn't say anything, she just sat there without moving!

Huo Changlin then asked, "Why don't we find you a good man to marry, so you can live a peaceful life?"

Yao Qingqing remained silent.

"Then I'll find you a job, but I see your health is failing, and I doubt you can do any kind of work."

Yao Qingqing's eyes were already red.

She scribbled on the paper: "Uncle, I dare not get married. I'm afraid of encountering another pervert, then I really will have no way to survive."

Huo Changlin sighed.

"Then what can we do? We're all family now, and no one can take care of you forever."

"You can't do it alone."

"If you ask me, I'd have your two aunts find you a good family nearby. We can lower our standards a bit and just live a good life together."

Yao Qingqing finally nodded and wrote on the paper: "Okay! But I want someone with good character, and I want to find out who it is myself."

Huo Changlin was relieved.

"Okay, then you can stay here for now. Your second uncle and I will bring you meals every day."

"We'll bring you over if we find a suitable match."

"I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up."

Yao Qingqing nodded.

After they finished speaking, they left.

I made my way home.

It's quite rare for all four of them to come back together.

Yun Ningyan smiled and asked, "Uncle and Aunt, where have you been?"

"All four of you are going together?"

"They didn't go shopping. Where are the things?"

Huo Changgen chuckled sheepishly, "The food was so delicious that I ate it all on the way back."

I'll go buy it again tomorrow.

Huo Changgen felt guilty and dared not stay with them.

But Huo Junshan had already heard his thoughts.

"Father, are you hiding something from us?"

Huo Changgen's heart tightened, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, absolutely not!"

Huo Junshan slowly stood up.

"Dad, are you sure?"

Huo Changlin sighed: "It's best to tell Changgen about this."

Yun Ningyan was taken aback. What's going on? Why all the mystery?

Huo Changgen scratched his head: "Big brother, why can't you keep things to yourself!"

"Oh dear! We just ran into Qingqing on the street. She escaped from the Northwest."

"But she's ruined. I just settled her in a guesthouse."

Yun Ningyan was taken aback: "Yao Qingqing?"
