Anna patted Zhuang Tunan on the shoulder and said, "Tunan, don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"

Zhuang Tunan looked at Anna with some surprise and said, "Anna, you're no match for him. You should run! Run home and have Xiaoting call the police!"

Anna smiled and said, "It's alright, Tu Nan. I've studied Taekwondo. He's a bad guy, but I can still handle him!"

Zhuang Zhennan laughed and said, "Foreigner! Do you want to fight me?"

Anna looked at Zhuang Zhennan and said, "You bad guy, don't underestimate me just because I'm a woman. I'm not afraid of you. I won second prize in Taekwondo when I was a kid!"

"Haha, it's a pity you're a woman, otherwise I would definitely have a match with you. Besides, I didn't come here to fight!"

Zhuang Tunan was still somewhat frightened and asked Zhuang Zhennan, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Brother, don't be afraid! I didn't mean anything by it. I just came to see you, say goodbye, and then I'll go to the police station to turn myself in. I promise I'll never get involved in smuggling again!"

"real!"

"Of course! I'm practically penniless now. After cooperating with Zhou Chengzhi last time, I bought another batch of supplies, and today the police raided my place. It was Zhou Chengzhi's brother-in-law who led the raid. It's fucking ridiculous. The person I do business with and the person who bankrupted me are actually family. I've seen through it all. I'm done. Let's see if the Zhou family will still mess with me."

"You said Wu Xiaojun led the men to arrest you!"

"Yeah! That guy is a real bastard. He messed with me and then tried to mess with his brother-in-law, but he couldn't find any evidence. Sigh, I deserve to be unlucky. He ruined everything for me. I lost everything. In the end, I had no choice but to turn myself in. Brother Tu Nan, I'm sorry! I've wronged you for the past six months!"

“Zhennan, it’s good that you’ve thought it through. There are some things you can’t do, especially illegal things. It’s bad for yourself, others, and the country. Why take such a risk? There are plenty of good things to do. I know I’ve wronged you too. I shouldn’t have turned the money into paper and sent you to a distant place where you have nowhere to go!”

"No, no, this isn't your fault. I was just too greedy, and I deserve this miserable end!"

"Okay, I'll come pick you up when you get out of prison, and we'll live a good life together!"

"Yes, brother, please apologize to my uncle and aunt for me. I'll go and apologize to them in person when I get out of prison!"

Anna, watching her two cousins' meaningful farewell, felt particularly curious and asked Zhuang Tunan, "Zhuang, didn't you say he wasn't a good person? Why are you saying goodbye to him? What's your relationship?"

"He's my cousin, my own brother, my second uncle's eldest son!"

"How did your uncle's son become a bad person?"

"He was just too greedy. He stole money from my house. Luckily, I replaced the money with paper money, so there was no loss. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to go to America, and I wouldn't have met you!"

"Oh my god, how much money did he steal?"

"It was originally 100,000, but I switched it, and it became a bag of waste paper!"

"Oh, waste paper? So you didn't steal it, which means you didn't do anything wrong, right?"

"I suppose so! We didn't mean to blame him, but he held a grudge and was always causing trouble for us. Now he's here to apologize!"

"Oh, really?"

Anna watched Zhuang Zhennan's departing figure, pondered for a moment, and then said to Zhuang Tunan, "Let's go! Don't stay out too late!"

So the two of them started walking again. By the time they arrived at the post office, it was probably the latest. Old Liu was already waiting for them at the door. As soon as Old Liu saw Anna, he said, "Oh, you've finally arrived! I thought something had happened to you!"

Anna smiled and said to Old Liu, "Thank you, Uncle, for worrying about us!"

Old Liu said, "Of course, they're all regular customers. We see each other every day, so it's natural to worry if we don't see each other for a day!"

"You've come out to meet us, does that mean we're the last ones standing?"

"I guess so! Who's sitting in the back?"

"My boyfriend?"

"Your boyfriend? Oh, Reiko's son?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Why didn't Da Lingzi come? Why did you send her son, who has difficulty walking?"

Zhuang Tunan hurriedly said, "Grandpa, my mother is in the hospital!"

"Oh dear! Really? What happened?"

"I'm a little too tired!"

"Right! This kind of work, getting up early and working late, is a bit tiring. It's not easy for anyone, but that's life. There's nothing we can do about it. Her son has difficulty walking, which makes things even harder for her!"

"Grandpa, thank you for taking care of our family all this time, thank you!"

"It's alright! They're all acquaintances!"

Old Liu led them into the warehouse, counted out all the newspapers and magazines for the day, and helped them load the newspapers onto the tricycle.

Zhuang Tunan said to Old Liu with great gratitude, "Thank you, Uncle, thank you for your help!"

"You're welcome! Everyone has difficult times, and besides, you have trouble walking, so we should lend a hand!"

"Alright, sir, see you tomorrow!"

"Okay, be careful on the road, drive slowly and be safe in heavy traffic!"

"Okay, I understand, sir!"

Anna got back on the tricycle, and the two of them chatted as they made their way to the newsstand without any problems.

Anna first went to the newsstand to get the wheelchair, helped Zhuang Tunan sit in it, and then the two of them began to work with the newspapers and magazines.

About an hour later, Song Ying's breakfast shop opened. Song Ying came over with two steamed buns, handed one to Zhuang Tunan, and said, "Tunan, how is Xiaoting? Did she eat yesterday?"

"I ate it, but I'm still a little sad!"

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. It's all Lin Dongzhe's fault for being so useless. I didn't discipline him properly. Neither you, Wu Feng nor I have slept well. I feel so sorry for Xiaoting!"

“Auntie, you don’t need to blame yourself. This is the path they chose themselves. As parents, we didn’t stand in their way. Now that they’ve come this far, it’s their own decision. No one tried to persuade them or stop them. As long as they don’t regret it, why should we interfere?”

"Yes, you're right, I agree with what you said, but I hope you can persuade Xiaoting again, think about the child in her belly, and let's educate Lin Dongzhe again, and try our best to prevent them from getting a divorce, okay?"

"I'll give it a try! Auntie, didn't Xiaoting say she'd wait until the baby was born to get a divorce? You can talk to her now!"

"Isn't it because you feel guilty towards him? You should talk to her first, and then we can talk to her after we've reached an agreement. Wouldn't that make things much easier?"

"Alright! I'll talk to Xiaoting properly when I see her. Don't worry, Auntie, we'll only advise her on the positive side and will never say anything bad about Lin Dongzhe!"

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. If you're too busy, just tell me and I'll have Yao Yao help you!"

"No need, Auntie, I'm not busy right now!"

After seeing Song Ying off, Zhuang Tunan resumed his busy work.

At this moment, Wu Xiaojun was on his way to work at the alley entrance, and Jiang Xiaoyue came out with him. Judging from their expressions, they were both quite happy, with a slightly affectionate feeling like lovers.

The two walked out of the alley and waved goodbye. Wu Xiaojun went to the police station, while Jiang Xiaoyue went to the movie theater.

There was only one staff member cleaning at the entrance of the movie theater, so Jiang Xiaoyue asked him, "Sir, where is my sister?"

"I'm in the office!"

"Really? Thank you!"

Jiang Xiaoyue entered the cinema, went straight to the office door, and carefully knocked on the door.

Wu Shanshan was eating alone in the office when she called out towards the door, "Who is it?"

"It's me! My sister!"

"Oh, Xiaoyue! Come in!"

Seeing that Wu Shanshan was the only one in the office, Jiang Xiaoyue asked, "Where's my brother-in-law?"

He went to his uncle's house to discuss something!

"Oh, sis, why did the police search your place yesterday?"

"Damn, it must have been Wei San who reported it!"

"Wei San?"

"Yes, it's the person who asked me if I had any new tapes when we were chatting yesterday."

"Oh, him! We can't let him get away with this!"
