As soon as Mrs. Zhan and Zhan Baoku arrived in Jiangyuan City, they went straight to the nearby bus stop after coming out of the bus station and took the bus to Zhan Tiehua.

When the two arrived at Zhan Tiehua's house, it was already past two in the afternoon. At this time, Zhan Tiehua went to work, Qin Xingzhou was at the delicatessen, and there were only a bunch of children and an old man with Alzheimer's disease at home.

Zhang Ling went to open the door and saw her grandmother and uncle standing at the door. Regardless of how miserable they looked, she rushed over and hugged Old Lady Zhan, crying, "Grandma, you're finally here! Are you and uncle here to take me home?"

Old Lady Zhan and Zhan Baoku were stunned. Go home? Where would they even have a home now? All the houses they had bought in the county and the city had been deemed illegal and confiscated.

As for the big house in Zhanjiazhuang, it was spacious and magnificent, but how could they dare to go back now?

Those unruly people wanted to eat them alive. If murder wasn't illegal, they would have been beaten to death by the villagers yesterday.

Now, they had no other choice but to stay with Zhan Tiehua for a while and then find a way out. They couldn't run rampant like they did when Zhan Dayou was around, but at least they had to live a comfortable life.

Mrs. Zhan first pulled Zhang Ling up from her arms and said, "Grandma and your uncle will have to stay with your parents for a while. You've been home these days. How are your parents treating you? Are you getting along well with your two younger brothers?"

Old Mrs. Zhan led Zhang Ling in and asked her about her well-being.

The child was raised by old lady Zhan, and the Zhan family had always been kind to her. That was why she cried so sadly when she heard that something happened to the Zhan family.

She was still young and didn't quite understand the seriousness of the family's situation. She only vaguely heard some things and thought she would never see her grandmother and uncle again.

When she heard Mrs. Zhan asking her about her life at her biological parents' home, she cried and shook her head, saying, "They were not good to me. My parents just beat me, scolded me, and made me work every day. Grandma, please take me back to Zhanjiazhuang. I don't want to live here anymore..."

Old Mrs. Zhan comforted her, "Lingling, be obedient and stay here for a while. Something happened at grandma's house, and we can't go back to Zhanjiazhuang now. Now that grandma and uncle are here, if your parents dare to beat or scold you again, grandma will vent their anger on you!"

Zhang Ling couldn't insist any longer after hearing what Mrs. Zhan said. She also thought her parents would be more restrained with her grandmother's support.

Although Zhan Tingting's father died when she was very young, she grew up in the Zhan family. Therefore, she was very happy to see Mrs. Zhan and Zhan Baoku coming.

She is not close to her mother. Although her mother was also sentenced this time, she was not worried about her mother's situation at all. Instead, she was very worried about the relatives of the Zhan family.

She is now a teenager and more sensible than other children. A few days ago, she watched the news and newspapers reporting on the situation of the Zhan family, including how her relatives were treated. She now basically understands it all.

Therefore, she did not feel strange when she did not see Zhan Dayou and his two aunts, and she did not mention those people.

"Grandma, uncle, are you hungry? Sit on the sofa and rest for a while. I'll go heat up some food for you!" Zhan Tingting saw how miserable the two looked and knew that they must have suffered a lot. She was very sensible and went to prepare food for them.

Zhang Ling also reacted at this time. Seeing her grandma and uncle like that, she felt very distressed and took the initiative to pour them some water.

Only when the Zhan mother and son arrived at Zhan Tiehua's house did they truly feel alive again.

Soon, Zhan Tingting heated up the leftovers from lunch and served them on the table. She also made fried rice with the leftover rice as the staple food.

She also specially fried a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions for her grandmother and uncle so that they could have a better meal.

The two of them wolfed down their meal. They had eaten all kinds of delicious food in the past, but now, they even ate the two plates of leftovers from the previous meal with gusto, leaving nothing behind.

After dinner, the two of them remembered to treat their injuries: "Lingling, go get the medicine box. Grandma and your uncle are injured. Apply some medicine!"

After receiving instructions from Old Lady Zhan, Zhang Ling quickly went to her parents' room to look for the medicine box.

Zhan Baoku recovered from the shock and suddenly remembered his daughter Zhan Yingying. He hadn't heard the child crying just now and almost forgot about it.

Zhan Yingying is now taking a nap on the same bed with Zhan Tiehua's two sons.

It's no wonder that Zhan Tiehua treated her niece, Zhan Yingying, very well. After bringing her home, she bought her milk powder and diapers. Seeing that the clothes she brought back weren't enough for the child, she also bought her some children's clothes.

When she was at work, Zhan Tingting and Zhang Ling were responsible for feeding Zhan Yingying, changing her diapers, and feeding her. The two girls were very attentive and took good care of Zhan Yingying.

Because Zhang Ling often looked for opportunities to bully her two younger brothers, they didn't like her and drove her away when they were angry and told her not to stay in their home.

They don't seem to realize yet that this is their home and also their sister Zhang Ling's home.

Perhaps when they grow up a little, they will wonder why they have the surname Qin while their biological sister has the surname Zhang.

Growing up in such a family environment, Zhang Ling knew from a young age that money is more reliable than feelings.

This is also the main reason why she could later use her child born from an affair with someone else to deceive and morally blackmail Sun Aimin and Yuan Jie without any bottom line. Or perhaps, her evilness was largely derived from her family genes.

The kindness she shows now is only to those who are kind to her and who can be relied upon by her. Once the issue of interests is involved, she can turn evil in an instant.
