In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Ling Xiaotong was unable to comfort Sister Yuanyuan's sadness, but she didn't dare to remind her. Sister Yuanyuan seemed to have forgotten the dream a long time ago, which should be what her mother expected.
Should she imitate Sister Yuanyuan's sadness? She took out her phone and sent a text message to Yi Xiangfan, then pulled Sister Yuanyuan to sit next to her aunt. At least her aunt and grandmother's sadness could stimulate her emotions. It wasn't difficult. As long as she thought that she would never see her uncle again, which was no different from missing, she could also be very sad.
Yi Xiangfan and Wu Minyi arrived very quickly. When handing over the keys to the villa, Yi Xiangfan mentioned to Zhou Xiang that he wanted to date Ling Xiaotong.
"Aunt, I know it's inappropriate to talk about this now, but I still want to say it. Please agree to my relationship with Tongtong. When she is sad, I can accompany her openly."
Zhou Xiang was satisfied with Yi Xiangfan's formality. "Okay, my requirements for a son-in-law are very simple. Whatever she is like at her parents' home, she should be like that at her husband's home. This is just a yardstick. If she is more relaxed and happy at her husband's home than at her parents' home, it means she married the right person. If she is more restrained and less happy than at her parents' home, it means she married the wrong person. I will not agree to her compromising, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Yi Xiangfan immediately nodded and promised, "I will give her freedom and love."
"I only look at actions and facts."
"Then we'll wait and see."
"good!"
Yi Xiangfan got the permit from his future mother-in-law and took up the post with honor. Wu Minyi was in a difficult situation. He sat next to Zhou Yuan for a long time, but the sad mother and daughter didn't see him.
Seeing that his friend had won over his future mother-in-law, he anxiously pulled Zhou Yuan's sleeve and said, "Yuanyuan, can I introduce myself to my aunt?"
"casual!"
Zhou Yuan’s mind was full of thoughts about whether her younger uncle-in-law had found her eldest uncle. She didn’t care about anything else.
Wu Minyi summoned up her courage and called out to Zhou Yu, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Wu Minyi, a good friend of Zhou Yan. I'm pursuing Yuanyuan now, and I hope you'll allow me to do so."
Zhou Yu raised his red and swollen eyes and looked carefully at the young man in front of him, "Yan'er's friend? Not bad, I don't have to worry about Yuanyuan being bullied in the future. Yan'er is good at fighting."
Wu Minyi breathed a sigh of relief. "Did my aunt agree?"
Zhou Yu nodded. "Yes! I agree, but there are still her father and her grandmother! You have to deal with them one by one. And her aunt and grandparents, you have to deal with these relatives by yourself."
"Okay! I'll try my best."
It was Lu Zhaochong who informed Lu Jing that something big had happened to her sister-in-law. She quickly contacted Ge Xin and asked him to accompany Professor Chu well and try not to let Professor Chu know. Professor Chu was old and did not need to worry about these things. He just needed to live a relaxing life every day.
Then she hurried back with Xie Chen and Mengmeng. In the gloomy room, her sister-in-law's calm expression was too abrupt. She looked at her sister and saw her shaking her head slightly at her. She breathed a sigh of relief. No news was good news.
"Why are you back?" Zhou Xiang was a little surprised to see the family of three. "Why don't you all just have a good time together? Ling Ran has taken a lot of people to search."
"Sister-in-law, I'm worried about you."
"Do you think I need you to worry about me? If anything happens, I will definitely inform you. Now that you're back, take your cousin and Mengmeng to stay in the north section guest room first!"
"yes."
Ling Ran's action was so loud that the news spread quickly, and the town was in an uproar.
Zhou Kai called back and said he wanted to go with the search, but Zhou Xiang scolded him, "Isn't the safety of the school important? Shouldn't you put the school's safety first and reassure me right now? The situation is already chaotic, and you're adding to it."
"Cousin, I, I just want to help. You know my fighting ability." Zhou Kai argued for himself aggrievedly.
"Force? Your force is nothing compared to Lv Jing and Lv Ying! Take good care of the school for me. If someone takes advantage of the situation and tries to take advantage of you..."
"I know, I know," Zhou Kai quickly assured, "I will definitely take good care of the school."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, finally suppressing this dangerous bomb. If this guy really followed, it would be bad if he found any clues. Being exposed would be a small matter, but how outsiders would view him and his brother would be a big deal.
The first to come to offer their condolences were Zhou Zuoping's family. Zhou Zuoping had retired, and Zhou Yizhou had taken over as principal. Xiangzi School is now a provincial model school, a provincial model school for the ideological and moral development of minors, and a provincial garden-style institution. It ranks among the top 100 primary, secondary, and high schools in the province, a total of tens of thousands of schools. Zhou Yizhou's goal is to reach the top 50 during his tenure.
Chen Wenlian, with tears in her eyes, pulled Zhou Xiang to her side and comforted him, "It will be fine, it will be fine. Good people will be blessed by heaven, and good people will be rewarded. Zhou Niao is a good child, and he will definitely be able to turn danger into safety."
Zhou Xiang felt guilty. Was she going too far? Did she deceive everyone's feelings? "Aunt Chen, I'm not worried. He's just missing. I believe my brother will be safe. Don't worry."
After Ling Xiaotong discovered her mother's guilty conscience again, she was completely relieved. As long as her uncle was safe, he must be missing her brother Yan'er's mother.
Zhou Zuoping went to comfort Zhou's father. Seeing that Zhou's father was in a good mood, Zhou Zuoping stopped talking about Zhou Niao and talked about other happy things. The two fathers had a good conversation.
The second people to come were the godfather and godmother, followed by Guan Zanqiang and Peng Qiu.
Zhou Xiang hurriedly welcomed the two elderly people in. "Godfather and Godmother, why are you here in such a hurry? It's so hot. Ling Ran has already brought people to look for her. She's just missing."
Guan Bo pushed his goddaughter's hand away and said, "Don't support me. I'm in good health! Even your father may not be as healthy as me."
"Really?" Father Zhou was not convinced when he heard his old friend's words. "How about we have a arm wrestling match and see for ourselves?"
"Let's do it." Guan Bo replied and walked towards Zhou's father.
"Hey, dads, please stop making trouble and sit aside and play chess." Zhou Xiang was scared. What if the chess piece broke? Wouldn't that cause trouble for her?
Aunt Guan scolded lightly: "You are here to cause trouble. You are already in your seventies or eighties, and you still need children to comfort you."
"How come I'm in my seventies or eighties? I'm younger than Zhou Quan." Guan Bo is most afraid of people saying he is old.
"Yes, younger, one year younger. He must be over seventy, right?"
"I'm only in my seventies, how can you say I'm eighty?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhou Xiang hurriedly coaxed, "My godfather is only in his seventies. There are many centenarians. If my godfather lives to be two hundred, seventy is still young."
When Wu Minyi and Yi Xiangfan saw that there was an opportunity to help, they immediately went over to help, separated the elderly people, and coaxed the two elderly people who wanted to arm wrestle to play chess aside.
Zhou Xiang pulled his godmother to Chen Wenlian's side and said, "Godmother, the old child is still a child, and he needs to be coaxed. Godfather refuses to admit his age, which means that his heart is not old. Please stop provoking him all the time."
"What if I don't provoke him? He can still swing the hammer and forge iron!" Aunt Guan got angry when she talked about this. "Your godfather said he was bored at home, and Afu and Qiangqiang are obedient, so he wants to pass on the blacksmithing skills."
