Zhou Ling caused quite a commotion with the vegetable vendors, and after being spotted by a patrol officer in a hat, they were all taken to the police station.
After negotiations, the farce ended with neither party pursuing the matter further.
Logically, Zhou Ling, having been left in such a sorry state, would naturally not agree to a quick settlement. So she made an outrageous demand, asking for 100,000 yuan for mental distress. Even Uncle Hat couldn't stand such an absurd request, saying that this was just a simple civil dispute and that she shouldn't ask for such an exorbitant price.
Ultimately, Zhou Ling had no choice but to accept only 500 yuan in compensation for emotional distress.
Although it was much less than expected, 500 yuan was still okay; at least it was enough for the mother and daughter to live on for a few days.
However, Zhou Ling knew she couldn't go to the market anymore; the vendors must have blacklisted her.
Even if you cover your face while picking vegetables, you'll most likely still be recognized.
Just then,
The landlord suddenly knocked on the door, and with a look of disgust and aversion, ordered her to move out the next day and that he would no longer rent the house to her.
"If you want to move out, then move out. What do you think this place is? It reeks of pig manure. If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will. I don't want to live in a place like this anyway."
"I curse you to never be rented out again, and to always be empty!"
As soon as the homeowner left, Zhou Ling said with a displeased expression.
Anyway, she'd had enough of being here. She couldn't go to the market for free vegetables anymore, or even buy them with money, and probably no one would be willing to sell to her anyway. So, she might as well go somewhere where nobody knew her and start a new life.
There was nothing in Fanjia County that she would miss.
Why should she stay in this run-down little place?
Besides, she has a few hundred yuan on hand, including the two hundred yuan Zhou Na transferred earlier, a little more, and the money she just extorted. That's enough for her travel expenses to go anywhere.
then,
Zhou Ling began to ponder where would be the best place for her to live.
"Go to Yanjing..."
With a quick glance, Zhou Ling made up her mind: if she was going to change cities, Beijing would be the first choice.
The reason is simple: her second sister, Zhou Na, lives in Yanjing. She can go directly to Zhou Na for help, and Zhou Na would never abandon her. Moreover, if the two of them are together, Zhou Na can occasionally help her take care of her daughter, and it would be perfectly reasonable for her to ask Zhou Na to help raise her daughter.
If you go to other cities, you will have no relatives or friends, which is equivalent to being a homeless person.
Having determined my thoughts
Zhou Ling started packing her things, but after looking around, she felt that all the old, broken things, pots and pans in the house were unnecessary. She could just buy new ones when she got to Yanjing. All she needed to do was go there.
"No, I can't waste it. I'll sell it and get some money."
"Sell everything in this house that can be sold."
Considering the homeowner's attitude just now, Zhou Ling felt that selling the homeowner's belongings would be a way to get revenge.
For example, the water tank and iron pot that come with this house can be exchanged for money.
Every penny counts. Anyway, once she leaves Fanjia County, Uncle Hat won't go after her for selling these little things.
When Uncle Hat finds her, she can simply say she doesn't know.
At most, he'll have to pay compensation; he won't end up in jail.
She does understand this basic legal knowledge.
That evening, Zhou Ling sold everything she could find that could be exchanged for money, many items at bargain prices, as long as she could get the money.
She naturally wouldn't wait until the landlord arrived the next day before leaving. After dealing with the items that could be sold, Zhou Ling bought a direct train ticket to Yanjing and embarked on her journey there.
The next day
When the homeowner came to take possession of the house, he was filled with questions as he looked at the bare gate: Where is my big iron gate?
And where did the iron fence in the yard go?
The cooking pot is gone too.
The furniture is gone too!
After walking around the room from front to back and seeing the empty space, the homeowner almost thought it wasn't his place.
By this time, how could he not understand that Zhou Ling had sold all the things in the house?
"Damn ingrate, I shouldn't have given you one night yesterday. I'm such a bastard. You should have been kicked out right then and there."
The homeowner was filled with regret and stomped his feet in anger. He then took out his phone and dialed 110.
"I'm calling the police. My neighbor sold all my belongings..."
At this moment, Zhou Ling touched the bulging pocket of her clothes, which was full of loose change. She had received more than four hundred yuan after selling the previous owner's belongings. She now had nearly a thousand yuan on her.
"It's too late to call the police. They can't find me. Even if they do, I can deny it."
"If you want to get rid of me, this is the price you pay for messing with me."
Zhou Ling was beaming with pride, thinking that her revenge was brilliantly executed.
"Daughter, isn't Mommy smart?"
"Anyone who dares to bully Mom will be punished severely."
"I won't let this go to waste. It won't be long before you see your aunt. Aren't you excited? Won't your aunt be happy to see us?"
Zhou Ling teased her daughter in her arms. She had a daughter named Zhao Xiaoya. Even if Zhou Na didn't care about her, she would care about Zhao Xiaoya. Zhou Ling had seen how much Zhou Na liked Xiaoya when she came to the house before.
This is also the source of her confidence to seek refuge with Zhou Na, because she knows that even if she repeatedly angers Zhou Na, Zhou Na will not sever her sisterly relationship with her like Zhou Chen did. They are biological sisters with an unbreakable blood bond.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling recalled her adoptive parents, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua. She had heard from Zhou Na that these two were also in Yanjing. When she went to Yanjing this time, she would definitely find a way to find them and make them pay back the money.
I swindled 300,000 yuan from her, so I have to pay it back.
She used to think of them as her parents and couldn't be unfilial, but now she knows that they don't deserve her. Even if they are her own parents, she still has to pay back the money.
If it weren't for the two of them, Zhou Ling wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.
She did hate Zhou Chen, but she also hated Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, because the two of them abandoned her again and disappeared without saying a word.
Yanli University,
In a certain classroom,
Zhou Na was sitting in the first row. For some reason, her right eyelid kept twitching, as if something was about to happen.
Fortunately, after jumping for a while, it calmed down.
Zhou Na didn't take it too seriously.
Now, she is in Yanjing, thousands of miles away from Fanjia County. What could possibly affect her? Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua haven't shown up since they took the money. She also gave money to Zhou Ling. There's no need to worry. It's all just her overthinking.
He shook his head.
Zhou Na focused intently on the blackboard, absorbing university knowledge. She was unaware that Zhou Ling, whom she thought was in Fanjia County, was on her way to Yanjing, and that the two sisters would soon meet again.
