Her eyelashes fluttered, and she closed her eyes, calming herself down quietly.
Jiang Ci never went out again. Apart from delivering meals to the cowshed, she would take her children to work and then stay home to learn how to make clothes from Sister-in-law Yu.
She didn't need to worry about Zhou Gou's side; she had already come up with a solution. If a town party secretary and a deputy director of the public security bureau couldn't handle Sun Jiancheng, then they might as well give up.
Jiang Ci stopped paying attention to Zhou Gou's affairs, but Zhou Huai came over instead.
Only three days had passed since that day, but the little girl was noticeably more energetic than before, her eyes sparkling with the pure light of the first rays of dawn after darkness.

Zhou Huai nodded very hard.
Jiang Ci patted her head and said, "Go back now."
After Zhou Huai left, Jiang Ci realized that Zhou Gou had asked Zhou Huai to give her a box.
