Chapter 256 Slum District

Meng Yanxin perked up immediately after hearing this. This was sure to be on the headlines for tomorrow, wasn't it? "I'll go take a look first."

After she finished speaking, she ran away without waiting for anyone to answer.

Chen Yongnian looked at the group and said, "It seems we can't have the banquet today. Since we've met here so often, why don't we go to a restaurant?"

"Okay." Siming said as he looked down at the two curious babies.

The two children are now looking towards the crowded area, as if they want to know what is going on.

"Don't look at it, we're going out to eat, aren't you hungry?"

Juanjuan and Si Jinchen both turned to look at him, and they both answered in unison: "Hungry!"

"Let's go. What do you want to eat today? Grandpa Chen will treat you." Chen Yongnian said happily.

"Wow! Grandpa Chen is so generous." Juanjuan's eyes lit up.

"It's rare for your Grandpa Chen to be so generous. Just order what you like to eat." Miao Jiu reached out and scratched her nose.

Si Ning looked at the people in the crowd with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'll let Miao Long watch over her. With him around, no one would dare to touch her." How could Miao Jiu not know her worries.

"Let's go!" Si Ning took his hand with a smile on her face.

Old Madam Si pulled the two children, and Si Ming pushed Si Tian out of the noisy banquet hall.

The other people who had come to join in the fun had not left yet and were all watching the fun.

The next day's newspaper reported what happened in the marriage between the Lu and Meng families.

When the children of the Lu family learned that the tea garden had been mortgaged, they found out that it was Lu Si who mortgaged it, and no one wanted to do it anymore.

They surrounded Old Man Lu and demanded an explanation, clamoring to divide the family and property, fearing that Lu Si would squander all the Lu family's assets.

When Mrs. Lu found out, she was so angry that she fainted.

Old Man Lu was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly and couldn't utter a word.

The Meng family is in a dilemma. They can neither get married nor cancel it. Now there is no way to hold the wedding banquet.

They could only take their daughter and leave first, and wait until the Lu family's affairs were settled.

Meng Yanxin also took photos of the Lu family members who were beaten black and blue and published them in the newspaper.

Si Ning looked at the news in the newspaper and threw it on the table beside him.

The Lu family is divided and destined to fall apart.

Miao Jiu has already found the specific address of the person who can repair machinery.

Si Tian packed up and prepared to go for a visit, but before he even left the house, he found two small pendants on his legs.

"Uncle, where are you going?" Juanjuan hugged his legs and looked at him with a smile.

"Take us with you!" Si Jinchen also looked at him with a smile.

Si Tian looked at the two of them with pretended disdain: "You thought of me when you wanted to go out and play. I've never seen you two so enthusiastic on other days."

"We have always been very nice to our second uncle!" Juanjuan tilted her head and looked at him.

"It's good. Now that your father is back, you have thrown me into a corner." Si Tian got angry when he thought about it.

"Then next time, instead of throwing it in the corners, can you just throw it next to it?" Juanjuan looked at him pitifully.

Si Tian felt like he was having a heart attack. The child was speaking more fluently now, so why was it so heartbreaking?

"Let's go! Tell your grandmother and aunt, I'll wait for you in the car." Si Tian pinched the faces of the two little guys.

Juanjuan and Si Jinchen let go of his legs and ran to the living room to report to Old Madam Si.

"Listen to your second uncle when you go out." Old Madam Si said with a smile.

"Okay!" The two children agreed and ran out the door.

Si Ning smiled and shook his head: "As long as these two little guys can go out to play, they will be obedient and jump out for free."

"That's right, but it would be better to take them out to play more often." Old Madam Si smiled and shook her head.

Seeing Juanjuan was about to go out, Hu Zi also got into the car.

Si Tian waited for the two little ones to get in the car before he gave them an address.

Hu Zi frowned slightly when he heard the address: "Second Master, the people living here are all poor people. Is the person you are looking for really here?"

"Well, if the address given by your Ninth Master is wrong, it's his fault." Si Tian directly shifted the blame.

"It must be given by Master Jiu, so it can't be wrong." Hu Zi would only say that it was Miao Jiu's fault if he was desperate.

This is the most marginal location in Beiyang City and also where the lowest class of people live.

All I saw was dirt and mess, with thatched roofs supported by crooked bamboo and wood, and roofs supported by broken tiles and tarpaulin, which looked like they would collapse at any time.

The walls were made of yellow mud covered with reed mats, and the cracks were filled with straw.

The people were all pale and thin, and the clothes they wore were patched up with patches on top of patches, so that you couldn't even tell what the original fabrics of the clothes were made of.

It was the first time that Juanjuan and Si Jinchen saw such a scene. They originally thought that the place where Yan Anqing and his family lived was the worst.

But now I see that it is many times better than here.

Si Tian sat in his wheelchair and glanced at the two children secretly.

He originally didn't want to bring his two children here today because the people here are living too poorly.

But then I thought, since my elder brother and mother don’t want them to be greenhouse flowers, then let them see the sufferings of the world!

"Let's go!" Si Tian said to Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang pushed the wheelchair forward, and Hu Zi followed behind with the two children.

The ground here is not flat, and you can see various stagnant water left after domestic water is poured out.

As they walked in, the smell was not good either, a musty smell, and some foul odor, which seemed to be unable to dissipate and went straight into their noses.

Juanjuan held Hu Zi's hand tightly, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The doors of some houses were not closed, and at a glance you could see five or six people living in a small room.

If the person next door talks louder, people in the adjacent room can hear it clearly.

The people living inside were stunned when they saw Si Tian and the others. They wondered how people dressed so well as them could appear here.

Although they were curious, they did not dare to go forward to inquire. They could only watch from afar, wanting to see what they were going to do.

Hu Zi felt Juan Juan holding his hand tightly: "Miss, are you scared?"

Juanjuan shook her head and looked up at him: "Brother Huzi, are they all hungry?"

Hu Zi was silent for a moment, then nodded. "People living here don't have any special skills. They just rely on carrying heavy bags and doing hard labor to earn a little money."

"If I'm lucky, I can earn enough to eat for a day, but if I'm unlucky, I might go hungry the whole day. Plus, I have to support my family, so life is even harder."

Juanjuan lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, but she just didn't say anything.

Si Jinchen was deeply shocked when he saw this scene. He thought that everyone in Beiyang City governed by his father should have enough food and clothing, but why were there still so many people who were not well fed and clothed?

Si Tian noticed the silence of the two children, but he didn't intend to say anything now because they had already arrived at their destination.
