Chapter 6 Little Tiantian is also pitiful.
Lei Jingwu and Zhou Pingan watched as the four people finished their meal and cleaned up the table.
After keeping everyone busy all night, Little Tian patted his round little belly and even let out a burp.
Only then did he run to Lei Jingwu's side.
"Big cousin! I was so scared yesterday! Every time I closed my eyes, I saw someone throwing me into the river."
I got scared and climbed out the window to find you.
"But I'm not familiar with this place, and I got lost. It was my eldest sister, second sister, and brother who saved me." Little Tiantian looked up at Lei Jingwu and acted coquettishly.
Lei Jingwu, who had been wearing a sour face, softened immediately when Xiao Tiantian mentioned that someone had thrown him into the river.
The thought of giving the little guy a few slaps on the bottom has vanished.
My heart aches.
"Alright, brother will take you home!" Lei Jingwu patted Xiao Tiantian's head.
Then, Lei Jingwu looked at Yao Shula.
"Thank you for bringing my cousin back. I'll take him home first."
"I'll definitely visit to thank you after I've finished taking care of things at home."
Lei Jingwu's eyes were sincere, and Yao Shula was overjoyed.
"It's alright! It's all what I should do. The little guy looked so pitiful, crying as he walked. It broke my heart to see him like that!"
I got home too late last night, and something happened at home, so I couldn't take him to the police station in time.
I originally planned to deliver it after lunch, but now I see that it's not necessary.
"You should go back quickly! Tian Tian's parents must be quite worried." Yao Shula quickly added politely.
This guy looks like he's someone important.
Hurry up and take the kids back to claim credit, and while you're at it, try to get some of the credit for yourself too.
I don't need much, but you should be able to come up with a hundred or two hundred yuan, right...?
Lei Jingwu picked up Xiao Tiantian and put her on his shoulder, then made sure she was seated properly.
Little Tiantian hugged Lei Jingwu's neck and didn't forget to greet Yao Shula.
"Big sister, can I come to play with you often in the future? I'm not old enough to go to school yet, and the kindergarten here isn't fun at all."
“Okay, come again when you have time!” Yao Shula quickly replied.
And so, Xiao Tiantian reluctantly left with Lei Jingwu.
Zhou Ping'an also breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, after a restless night, I can finally get a good night's sleep.
He yawned, nodded to the Yao siblings, and planned to go home to catch up on his sleep.
Yao Shula watched Lei Jingwu's retreating figure, her mind racing, and then she glanced at Yao Shuxin.
Yao Shuxin immediately understood what her sister meant. She hurried to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Zhou Ping'an.
"Brother Ping An, have some water!" Yao Shuxin said with a smile.
Zhou Pingan immediately took it and drank more than half of the cup in one gulp.
"Brother Ping An, is that really Brother Xiao Tiantian?" Yao Shula asked in a low voice.
Zhou Pingan glanced at Yao Shula.
"You're only asking now?"
"Isn't that what we need? If anything happens, we can always turn to you!"
"Anyway, you and that person came together, so you two know each other," Yao Shula said with a smile.
Zhou Pingan glanced at Yao Shula and thought about how, since last night, this girl's various actions had exceeded his expectations.
In the past, who would have thought that last night's incident was caused by this quiet, reserved young woman who only knew how to take care of her younger siblings and did housework all day long!
He immediately blurted out a question, being the quick-witted person he is.
"Shura, what does it feel like to ruin your own father's wedding banquet?"
"Want to know? Why don't you go smash one and try it yourself?" Yao Shula retorted with a smile.
Zhou Ping'an immediately put his hands together to indicate that he would not ask any more questions.
After last night's battle, Yao's eldest daughter is now a well-known figure in the entire county.
Everyone outside knows that Yao Shula took a kitchen knife last night and, along with her younger siblings, ruined her father's wedding banquet.
Many people, after learning more about her, exclaimed that Schumann was truly a wonderful woman!
"Okay, I was just kidding."
What happened last night...you did the right thing, your dad really wasn't human..."
"I didn't ask about my dad, I asked about Xiaotian. Is that person really Xiaotian's brother?" Yao Shula brought up the topic of the person again.
Zhou Pingan nodded immediately, then lowered his voice.
"Shura, she's someone with quite a background!"
"That little Tiantian, do you even know his last name?"
“His surname is Lei, and his name is Lei Jingtian!” Yao Shula immediately said.
“Our new county party secretary, the one who hasn’t officially taken office yet, is also surnamed Lei!” Zhou Ping’an said.
Yao Shula...
"You mean Xiaotian is Secretary Lei's...son?" Yao Shula was startled.
Zhou Ping'an didn't speak, but simply nodded seriously.
Yao Shula quickly patted her chest.
She... she picked up a dragon's spit pearl!
If that's the case, then it's really not just a matter of a hundred or two hundred dollars...
This matter needs to be considered carefully!
"Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Little Tiantian looks like a lucky person, he'll definitely be alright." Yao Shula quickly said a few kind words.
No wonder Xiaotian is so outgoing and doesn't seem timid at all.
If it were someone else's child, they would cry their eyes out if they got lost!
He, on the other hand, cried quietly as he walked, and ate a cornbread with relish.
It's just... they don't say exactly where they live!
"In the end, this child is also... a bit pitiful. His mother died when he was three years old."
His mother came from a well-off family; she was beautiful and talented. It's a pity.
Secretary Lei married a new wife in Shanghai last year.
Previously, Xiaotian lived with his grandfather in Shanghai. Later, wasn't Secretary Lei transferred here to be the secretary?
The old man was worried that Xiao Tiantian's relationship with his father would become strained, so he asked Secretary Lei to bring Xiao Tiantian along.
Who knew... he ran away the very next day after arriving here." Zhou Ping'an recounted what he knew.
Upon hearing this, Yao Shula immediately felt sorry for the clever little guy with big eyes.
Poor little guy, it turns out he's a child without a mother too!
"That's quite pitiful."
"He's not pitiful at all. With his maternal grandfather's family and the old man from the Lei family watching over him, and Lei Jingwu always protecting Xiaotian, his stepmother can't cause any trouble," Zhou Ping'an said with a smile.
Yao Shula nodded. That's true. Things in wealthy families are never that simple!
I received a lot of information today, and it was a good day.
However, what surprised Yao Shula a bit was Zhou Ping'an.
Xiao Tiantian's cousin is clearly someone important; Zhou Pingan actually has a good relationship with him. No wonder Zhou Pingan joined the traffic police team as soon as he returned!
Yao Shula decided that she would also try to build a good relationship with Zhou Ping'an from now on.
Whenever there are leftovers or bones at home, they send them to the washbasin.
...
Over there, Lei Jingwu led Xiao Tiantian toward the government's residential compound.
The two brothers chatted as they walked.
"Were you scared last night?" Lei Jingwu asked in a low voice.
Little Tiantian, who was still sitting on Lei Jingwu's shoulder, scratched Lei Jingwu's hair.
"Not afraid! Well, not that I'm not afraid... I'm still afraid of running into that old kidnapper."
Later, when I met Sister Shura, I wasn't afraid anymore.
"Oh, Brother Shuli even gave me a cornbread. It's delicious, but a bit hard; it takes me a while to chew on it," Xiao Tiantian said with a smile.
Lei Jingwu felt heartbroken upon hearing this.
The little guy was taken care of by his grandfather in Shanghai. He never lacked milk or bread. Even when he occasionally ate a pancake, it was either an egg pancake or a scallion pancake.
When have I ever eaten cornbread?
Looks like I was really hungry last night!
"So you went with that older sister?" Lei Jingwu continued to ask.
"Well, my sister didn't want to take me with her. She said she would drop me off at the police station and have me wait there."
I was unwilling and asked my sister and brother why they were out so late. They said they were out looking for trouble.
I said I'd go with them to find trouble.
Big cousin, I helped my sister carry her mom's photo last night, and I carried it very steadily!
Later, I even helped Shura and the others argue.
I even cursed Shura's sister's father and that bride, the adulterous couple!
If my siblings had helped me when my dad got married last year, I definitely would have smashed his wedding banquet.
"I also brought out a picture of my mom," Xiao Tiantian said proudly.
Lei Jingwu...
So, when he was standing in the corner listening yesterday, this little guy had already arrived at someone else's house!
You even helped them carry the picture frame?
Why didn't I climb over the wall and take a good look last night? If I had, I would have found this little guy much sooner.
Why would we need to spend the whole night searching?
"Big cousin, poor Shura, her dad tried to hit her yesterday," Xiao Tiantian whispered, hugging Lei Jingwu's head.
Lei Jingwu hummed in agreement, indicating that he understood.
After Lei Jingwu brought Xiaotian home, Xiaotian's father, Secretary Lei, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiaotian didn't seem to have suffered any harm.
As for the idea of beating this kid up...
Haha, the old man called from Shanghai, saying that if anyone dares to lay a finger on his grandson, he'll immediately come over with his cane.
Lei's wife, Tian Lei, whom he had just married last year, quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Tian Tian, are you hungry? Aunt Tian asked the nanny to prepare something for you..."
Xiao Tiantian didn't even glance at Tian Lei. After getting off Lei Jingwu, she went straight into her room.
Tian Lei looked embarrassed.
Lei Jingwu pretended not to see Tian Lei's expression and just looked at Secretary Lei.
"Third Uncle, let me tell you what really happened!"
After saying that, Lei Jingwu gestured for Secretary Lei to go to the study.
...
In just two days, Yao Shula had already sorted out the tables, chairs, and benches that other families had lent to Yao Guohua for his wedding in the yard.
As for anyone saying something was missing, Yao Shula simply replied, "Go find whoever borrowed it!"
Another day passed, and Yao Shula got up early with her younger siblings.
"We're going to do something big today! Everyone, get up and be alert!"
"Sister, what's the big deal?" Yao Shuli asked, her eyes still half-closed.
"It's a big deal that concerns our future lives, a big deal that concerns our food supply. Do you think it's important or not?" Yao Shula patted the blanket covering Yao Shuli.
Yao Shuli immediately jumped up.
That is indeed a big deal!
