“She’s only eight years old. Even if she’s very sensible, she’s still a child. Her judgment of danger isn’t that accurate. If I hadn’t thrown a few snowballs at those people’s faces today, your daughter would have fallen into their hands, do you know that?”
Zhou Gou broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this and stammered, "I...I saw someone stealing things from your house."
"Nothing external is more important than people!" Jiang Ci said without thinking.
Zhou Gouyi was stagnant.
The children in the other room stopped playing.
Zhou Mingli gently patted Jiang Ci's shoulder.
Jiang Ci closed her eyes, took a breath, and calmed herself down.
Opening her eyes, Jiang Ci looked at Zhou Gou with a solemn expression and continued, "Brother Er Gou, money can be lost and regained, but a person is irreplaceable. No matter how important something is, it can't compare to a human life. If something happens to Xiao Huai because of that money or those valuable things, you want me to..."
How can I face them again?
Zhou Gou was filled with shame and remorse, and stammered, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I... I was careless for a moment. I never intended to harm my daughter. Xiao Huai is my only family. How could I..."
At this point, Zhou Mingli was the only one who could smooth things over.
He pressed down on Zhou Gou's shoulder. "Brother Er Gou, do you know that Jiang Ci watched Xiao Huai struggle out of that predicament, sprout, and grow tender leaves? I don't think I need to say more about how much effort she put into Xiao Huai."
Zhou Gou immediately nodded, "I know, I know everything!"
Zhou Mingli said, "Jiang Ci saw Zhou Huai rushing forward recklessly to save Yangyang and Miaomiao. You know, they're both her children, and she wouldn't feel good if either of them got hurt."
Zhou Gou looked distressed, his eyes almost brimming with tears. He could only nod, unsure of what to say.
Jiang Ci glanced at him, sighed, and said, "Brother Er Gou, I'm really grateful that you're willing to help. Xiao Huai is still young. Before she grows up and can stand on her own, please don't let her do dangerous things, okay?"
She deserves more love and care.
Zhou Gou, a grown man, had his eyes redden and tears streaming down his face after Jiang Ci's last words.
He kept muttering, "I know, I know."
I just hope he really remembers this and never does something like this again.
Jiang Ci gave her a long talk, telling her to improve herself and not to rush headlong into things in the future.
Zhou Huai kept nodding, carefully memorizing Jiang Ci's words.
Zhou Gou and Zhou Huai are sleeping at their house tonight.
Jiang Ci slept on the big bed in the master bedroom with the two little girls and Zhou Yang, Huang Zheyue squeezed into Zhou Miao's small bed, and Zhou Gou and Zhou Mingli slept on the small bed below.
They could have slept on the floor, but they didn't have enough blankets at home, so they had to squeeze in like this in the dead of winter.
This was the first time Zhou Huai had slept in the same bed with Jiang Ci, but she wasn't as excited as she had imagined.
On the contrary... I was moved even more.
She heard everything Jiang Ci and her father said. Zhou Huai held the sweet potato in her hand, lowered her head, and tears streamed down her face.
Huang Zheyue saw it, but didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.
Zhou Huai slept next to Jiang Ci, feeling the warmth emanating from her body and the faint scent of face cream. She felt even safer than when she was with her father.
She longed to be like Jiang Ci—brave, confident, and intelligent, capable of handling anything with ease.
Zhou Huai doesn't yet understand what personal charisma is.
She was completely captivated by Jiang Ci.
When she became the top female soldier in the corps, she was sincerely grateful to Jiang Ci for leading her out of her delusion and guiding her into the right world, the world that should be this way.
...
Bai Hua's mother-in-law and her godsons were interrogated separately by the police. Using a set of persuasive tactics, they managed to extract a lot of useful information from them in no time.
Looking at the records obtained after the interrogation, Mo Gonggong said with a stern face, "It seems that the child abduction case that happened in Xinghua Hutong the year before last, and the child snatching and abduction case in the square six years ago, are inextricably linked to this group of people."
Another police officer said, "This group of people are repeat offenders!"
"That's right, but Xiao Mo, that old woman's son keeps saying he has nothing to do with her, and the old woman also says she has nothing to do with her son and daughter-in-law. Do you think they really have nothing to do with each other?"
"Knowing but not reporting, what kind of innocence is that?" Mo Gonggong sneered. "If it weren't for Zhou Mingli's reminder, I would have been careless and thought that Fuqiang was some honest guy, letting him go home, change his clothes, and come with me."
"As a result, he burned evidence of his crimes inside the house! This is helping criminals cover up their crimes and failing to report them! That's equally guilty!"
When Mo Gong'an said that, Fuqiang desperately argued back, saying that he had burned some unused paper at home and had no idea what was written on it. He also said that if he really knew what his mother was doing, he would never have let her go astray.
Basically, he shifted all the blame onto his mother, claiming she was the best person in the world!
Mo Gong'an was truly impressed by Fu Qiang's sharp tongue.
But the old lady's other godsons also said that this matter had nothing to do with Fuqiang.
This is really...
Even if Mo Gonggong wanted to arrest Fuqiang, without evidence of Fuqiang's crimes, he had no choice but to release him.
As for Bai Hua, she really knew nothing about it.
Upon hearing that her mother-in-law had been arrested and her husband had been released, Baihua was both crying and relieved.
Fuqiang wiped away her tears, coughing as he said, "You have a baby in your belly, so please don't cry, or you might lose the baby."
There's three hundred yuan inside Baihua's belly; she absolutely cannot afford to lose any of it.
Bai Hua nodded vigorously, "I understand, I get it all!"
The couple helped each other home.
When Fuqiang and Baihua returned, Jiang Ci was on her way to the bus stop.
Fuqiang noticed the gaze and turned his head as well, seeing Jiang Ci.
He gave Jiang Ci a sinister smile, as if it were a provocation, as if it were a declaration of war.
Jiang Ci looked at him expressionlessly. The bus arrived and blocked Fu Qiang's view.
Jiang Ci stepped onto the bus.
There were no seats left, so Jiang Ci stood there, glancing out of the window.
Fu Qiang's eyes were sinister and cold.
Jiang Ci smiled, her lips curving upwards.
Don't rush.
Your retribution is not over yet.
Several types of black tea destined for country Y have finally been packaged, and a batch of samples has been sent over ahead of schedule.
Also sent were green tea and white tea from other places, which are sold to other countries.
E-Ceras's subtle sales efforts did indeed have a significant effect. At least the Ministry of Foreign Trade realized that the orders might not be signed with just one country, Y. E-Ceras was the only one capable of leading this effort.
Without a doubt.
She became the first person to open up overseas tea sales channels.
Jiangci received the letter of appointment.
