Old Xu put down the bucket and excitedly took her hand: "Old woman, this is the girl who helped Old Song get the medicine last time!"
"I saw her at the door just now, so I thought I'd bring her in first and then go get the water!"
Old Xu's wife, who was holding a child who was a little over a year old, smiled gratefully at Huang Qinqin upon hearing this.
"Thank you so much, young lady! If it weren't for you, this old woman would probably be meeting her ancestors by now!"
She was about to bow to Huang Qinqin to express her gratitude when Huang Qinqin was startled and quickly stepped forward to help her up, saying, "Grandma, you're too kind! You mustn't, you mustn't!"
Song Yongjun also stepped forward and thanked Huang Qinqin: "Qinqin, thank you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be living such a comfortable life."
Looking at the children inside the house who were learning to read or playing, he remarked with emotion, "The villagers here are very kind, really very kind."
They were spared from wasting time because Fang Huai went to great lengths to help them.
But this only prevents them from being tortured; like now, the village has promised to give them some food regularly.
They didn't criticize them, and were even willing to let their children study with them. Song Yongjun knew in his heart that this was all thanks to Huang Qinqin.
If it weren't for Huang Qinqin's sake, Song Mincheng would never have been able to get into the village workshop.
If he can't go in, he won't have the chance to help the village calculate work points, and Village Chief Huang won't feel grateful to Song Mincheng, thus failing to persuade the villagers.
Perhaps Huang Qinqin didn't think that much about it, but they definitely benefited from her influence.
Before these children came, they were not subjected to criticism or torture.
But my heart was still heavy. Everyone in the cowshed was listless and had no energy at all.
After Song Mincheng went to the countryside and saw their condition, he ignored Song Yongjun's advice and came over every few days.
However, things started to change after these children arrived.
Although at first, they were somewhat at a loss when faced with so many children of all ages.
However, it is undeniable that the appearance of these children made them realize that they were still useful.
While caring for and teaching these children, they felt as if they had found a sense of purpose in their lives here.
Only a few days have passed, and everyone in the cowshed has smiles on their faces because they now feel that they are no different from ordinary people.
Here, they temporarily forgot that they had been labeled as bad elements.
Looking at Song Yongjun, Huang Qinqin also deeply understood.
The last time she came, the whole cowshed was lifeless.
This time, their presence gave Huang Qinqin a completely different feeling.
Huang Qinqin comforted him, "Grandpa Song, you're too kind. Among all these people, Brother Fang Huai deserves the most credit."
"If you need my help in the future, you can go directly to the village chief and ask him to pass on my message."
"Brother Fang Huai asked me to tell you that as long as you are alive, there is hope. No matter what happens, please do not give up."
Song Yongjun nodded with tears in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He had no regrets in this life because he had Fang Huai and his group of juniors!
......
After Lin Chunyan and her family returned home, the first thing they did was to check whether any valuables were missing.
They were afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation and steal their belongings.
Because they didn't have time to search Lin Chunyan's room, Lin Chunyan came to Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu's room to help with the inventory.
When she saw Grandma Xu pull several large rolls of RMB 10,000 from her pillow, she asked in shock, "Mom, how do you have so much money?"
It wasn't that Lin Chunyan had never seen so much money before, but rather that half of their family's savings had been lost.
With the remaining half of the savings, because they were afraid that Xu Weimin would suffer in the Northwest, they only left 500 yuan at home and let Xu Weimin take the rest with him.
Moreover, the remaining five hundred yuan was all in Lin Chunyan's hands, so where did Grandma Xu and the others get their money from?
Grandma Xu said nonchalantly, "We sold the house in the village."
"What?!"
When Lin Chunyan heard that they had sold the house, her heart sank. She asked in a panic, "Dad, Mom, when did you sell the house?"
"Who did you sell it to? Is it possible to buy it back?!"
Grandma Xu counted the money and found that none was missing. Seeing Lin Chunyan's panicked state, she asked curiously, "Why did you buy the house back?"
“We need this money to pull strings for Jin Gui. Originally, Scarface only planned to give five hundred, but we managed to raise the price to one thousand.”
When Grandma Xu told Lin Chunyan that the house had been sold to Scarface, Lin Chunyan was utterly devastated.
She slumped helplessly to the ground, muttering to herself, "It's over, everything is over..."
Seeing Lin Chunyan like this, Grandpa Xu began to sense something was wrong: "Weimin's wife, what's wrong? Why did you finish speaking?"
Lin Chunyan looked at them with eyes full of despair: "The house we live in now was allocated by the health department."
"Weimin has been dismissed from his post, and this house will be taken back sooner or later. We'll have no choice but to go back to the village to live then."
"Now that the houses in the village have been sold, where will we live in the future?"
"What?! This house isn't ours?!"
Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu really didn't know that the house didn't belong to Xu Weimin.
They always thought the house belonged to their family and didn't know it would be taken back; otherwise, they would never have sold it.
Grandma Xu then realized the seriousness of the situation and asked in a panic, "What should we do?! Should we go find Scarface now and ask him to give the house back to us?"
Lin Chunyan shook her head: "It's no use. Scarface definitely doesn't want to cooperate with us anymore, but he's also unwilling to give up cooperating with Xu Zhuang and the others."
"He won't give the house back to us. Since things have come to this, we'll have to think of other solutions."
Lin Chunyan remembered that the wooden box Xu Jingui had asked her to hide contained evidence of other people's crimes.
She planned to go find those people to see if they could help rescue Xu Jingui and find them a house.
To be honest, even if you were to buy a house in the city, four or five hundred would be enough.
If they can find a suitable place, this thousand yuan will be enough for them to buy a new house in the city.
Lin Chunyan stood up, preparing to go back to her room to get the wooden box.
The first thing she saw when she entered the room was a pillow carelessly tossed in the middle of the bed.
She walked stiffly to the bedside, her hands trembling, and picked up the pillow, groping around for it.
Sure enough, the wooden box was gone.
Unable to withstand the successive blows, Lin Chunyan broke down in tears.
