“You and Boss Jiang are both good people. You paid for all my medical expenses and even paid me my salary while I was away from work. Good people will be rewarded.” Sister Zhu stretched her arm. “In a few days, I can go back to work, but I wonder if this arm will scare the customers who come to eat?”
"How could that be?" Xiao Moran magically pulled a pair of white lace gloves out of his bag. "Look what this is?"
"What's this?"
"These are lace gloves that my sister-in-law made for me. They'll make you look pretty." Mo Xi put the gloves on her. "Look, they fit perfectly. In the summer, you can wear the kind with sleeves. Jiang Yi said that after you go back this time, you won't have to do cleaning anymore. You can work in the shop collecting money. That's an easier job."
"Really?" Sister Zhu asked excitedly, pulling Moxi along.
"Yes, it's true. Jiang Yi also said that as long as his shop doesn't go out of business, he'll let you work there indefinitely."
"That's wonderful!" Sister Zhu exclaimed excitedly. "It seems I've turned misfortune into blessing this time. Although my hands are badly disfigured, I have such a good job. I've really struck gold."
......
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaobao and Xiang Qiuyun understood everything. Their status as wanted criminals had nothing to do with destroying Xiao Moxi. She hadn't even called the police. It was all Lan Yin's doing.
After Wang Xiaobao came out, he punched the wall. "You, Lan Yin, I never held it against you for kicking me when I was down, but this time you've really gone too far. Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Xiao Bao, let's go, this isn't the place to talk." Xiang Qiuyun looked at the crowds coming and going at the hospital. Although the two of them were disguised, it would be troublesome if they ran into someone they knew. It was best to leave as soon as possible.
The two went to the house that Lan Yin had previously rented in the suburbs. They knew that Lan Yin had paid six months' rent and that she and her parents had returned to a normal life. They thought they could stay at this shelter for a while.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. Although they were worried that Lan Yin would come, they were no longer afraid of this woman and were going to join forces to expose Lan Yin's true colors.
"Qiuyun, I didn't ruin Xiao Moxi's face, are you angry?" Wang Xiaobao looked at her somewhat fearfully.
"What are you angry about?" Xiang Qiuyun glared at him. "It's a good thing we didn't ruin Xiao Moxi's face, otherwise, we would have cleared our name of embezzling and absconding, but we can't escape the charge of assault. The cleaner's arm was ruined, which saved both Xiao Moxi and you."
“You’re right.” Wang Xiaobao nodded. “Xiao Moxi already knows it was me, but she didn’t call the police. She’s much better than that vicious woman Lan Yin. I, Wang Xiaobao, thought I had done all sorts of bad things, but I never expected that Lan Yin was the one who had done the worst things. Compared to her, I, Wang Xiaobao, am really nothing.”
"You're just too lazy. If you change your petty thieving habits, there's still hope for you," Xiang Qiuyun scolded. "Well, I'm stuck with you now. So be it. This is my fate, Xiang Qiuyun's fate. If we can clear our names this time, let's both be good people from now on. I don't ask for anything else in this life, I just ask that you treat me sincerely and that you live an ordinary life with my mother. That would be enough for me."
After experiencing so much, Xiang Qiuyun finally understood some things: what is not yours can not be forced, and what is yours cannot be shaken off. Just like her and Wang Xiaobao, who seemed to have their own ulterior motives, they ended up together.
“Yes, I want to turn over a new leaf.” Wang Xiaobao made a gesture of encouragement. “Xiao Moxi even felt sorry for my mother, but I, as her son, never had that awareness. I’m such a bastard.”
“Then let’s cheer each other on.” Xiang Qiuyun held his hand. “Me too. I was really a jerk before. Xiao Nuan was so good to me, but I caused her parents to move from the military compound to a tenement. Later, I did so many things with Lan Yin that I was sorry to Xiao Nuan. The person who kept saying she would take care of my mother stabbed me in the back, and the person who saved my mother was Su Xiao Nuan.”
As they were talking, the sound of a car came from outside the door.
The two quickly found a place to hide. Fortunately, Wang Xiaobao had the foresight not to break down the door and lock them in. Otherwise, if Lan Yin had come and found the door open, she would have suspected that someone had been there.
This place is quite remote, with no neighbors around. Apart from Lan Yin's family, no one else comes here.
The house is quite large, with plenty of places to hide. Otherwise, Lan Yin would have spotted them as soon as she entered.
Lan Yin, who usually likes to wear high heels, wore a pair of cloth shoes today. She parked her car outside, unlocked it, and quietly walked in.
After entering the house, she first looked around.
Xiang Qiuyun and Wang Xiaobao hid in the attic. The small attic made of small bamboo was the standard feature of that era. Attics were basically not used for living, but for storing household odds and ends. The two were in a panic and had no choice but to hide in the attic.
This house was built in two phases. The rooms leading from the main hall have attics and are tiled roofs with earthen walls, while the adjacent rooms are single-story houses with rooftops that can be used as drying yards. These houses are built with red bricks, clearly a combination of two styles.
They were in the attic, where they could see everything below clearly.
Lan Yin simply stood at the doorway, scanning the area, but showed no intention of going any further inside. Her attention seemed to be focused on what was behind her, as she strained her ears to listen to the sounds behind her.
This puzzled Wang Xiaobao and Xiang Qiuyun. Could there be someone else behind them?
Suddenly, a figure flashed past the doorway.
Lan Yin smiled sinisterly, turned around, locked the door, and left.
A short while later, they heard the sound of a car leaving from the attic.
"Lan Yin is gone, let's go downstairs." Xiang Qiuyun felt a little uncomfortable in the dusty attic.
"No!" Wang Xiaobao pulled her back. "Be careful, it might be a trap!"
"Didn't she leave?"
"If she leaves, she won't come back?" Wang Xiaobao had worked with Lan Yin so much that he knew her tricks all too well. "Didn't you see that sinister smile she just gave? She was clearly trying to lure the person who just passed by into a trap. If I'm not mistaken, Lan Yin will come back as soon as that person comes in. Let's just wait and see what happens."
Who could that person be?
"I don't know either, we'll find out the result soon."
Sure enough, a short while later, someone started breaking the lock on the outside.
Xiang Qiuyun gripped Wang Xiaobao's hand tightly in fear, just as he had expected, that person would come in.
The door lock is quite sturdy; it can't be broken open in a short time.
"What do you think this person is trying to do by following Lan Yin here?" Xiang Qiuyun asked in a low voice.
"Give me the money," Wang Xiaobao said softly. "With so much cash hidden by this woman, it's no wonder no one's eyeing it."
"Didn't they say we absconded with the money? Who knew it would end up in her hands?"
"Lan Guangxue?" Wang Xiaobao whispered in her ear. "Only a few of us know the truth. Li Chunxiang would never do such a thing. Xie Zhi is insane, so it can only be Lan Guangxue."
"My God, are these two going to stage a robbery too?"
"Just wait and see what happens!"
With a "thud," the large iron lock was finally smashed to the ground.
