Chapter 203 Investigation (Part 2)
Song Shengsheng nodded without hesitation, "Of course, I'm not their biological child."
When she was young, she was beaten many times.
If you don't obey and don't work, you will be beaten.
My parents are all illiterate, but they believe in the principle that "a good son is made under the stick."
Song Shengsheng learned to be lazy after she entered primary school. Whenever she was required to do chores, she would sneak into Shen Zhishu's house next door, hide in his room, occupy his bed, and pretend to sleep.
Later, when her parents got so angry with her that they chased her everywhere with a cane, she learned to hide and they couldn't hit her at all.
Before the cane fell on her, she burst into tears at the top of her lungs, and all the neighbors came over to watch her crying and make some noise.
My parents wanted to save their reputation, so they had to accept the cane no matter how reluctant they were.
At this moment, Song Shengsheng continued calmly: "But I'm used to being beaten. I feel uncomfortable when I'm hungry. I wake up in the middle of the night to scoop water to drink. After drinking, I can fall asleep again."
Song Shengsheng's words were half true and half false.
This kind of thing doesn't happen every day, of course, it only happened twice, and now she is bringing it up.
Song Shengsheng had no other purpose, it was purely for money.
However, Huo Jin did not look as if he was feeling well. He tied his jaw tightly and said nothing.
Song Shengsheng felt a little exhausted.
She described it so miserably, and as her brother, Huo Nian wasn't prepared to give her a little more money?
Song Shengsheng became angrier and angrier. She turned to look at Fu Cheng, took the initiative to put her hand in his palm, grabbed his hand, and whispered, "I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm sleepy again."
Very contrived.
Very perfunctory.
It was obvious at first glance that she was pretending to be sleepy, just because she was too lazy to pay attention to the man in front of her.
Her acting skills were not superb, and Huo Ting could certainly see that. He thought for a moment and said, "I don't plan to stay long this time, and I don't have much cash on me. If you're in a hurry, I'll have someone bring it over later."
"These years." Huo Ting paused for a moment, his throat seemed to be uncomfortable. He said harshly, "You, have suffered."
He would never let those people bully her again.
Taking advantage of this trip back home, he also wanted to go to the place where she used to live, take a look and ask some questions.
If she hadn't said it today, it wouldn't have been clear from the information that her life in the Song family would have been so precarious.
When Song Shengsheng heard that he had someone send the money over in the afternoon, her expression eased a little.
She was not afraid at all that Huo Jin would send people to Xiaoshui Village to investigate the truth, and she didn't care.
Even if she said that she deliberately made herself sound so miserable, even if she was playing tricks on me, so what?
Huo Ni deserved to be deceived.
Now that he had the money, Song Shengsheng didn't care whether the impression he left on them was good or bad.
"I was anxious. Thank you, brother."
Song Shengsheng said these words without any emotion, and Huo Jin's expression didn't get much better after hearing them.
In the afternoon, Huo Ting's temporary assistant in China really sent money.
Huo Ni brought mostly US dollars when he returned to China this time.
Several thousand US dollars is already a considerable amount.
After Song Shengsheng got the money, he immediately put it in his pocket without being polite to the assistant at all.
She didn't even say a word of thanks.
The assistant actually felt a little unfair for Mr. Huo. He took so much money, but his attitude was... so cold.
On the other hand, Huo Ting bought another ticket to Ningcheng.
By the time Fengchen Pupu arrived in Ningcheng, it was already a day later.
The higher-ups sent someone to follow Huo Ting. After all, they were in the country, and if something urgent happened, they would need a reliable person in Ningcheng to handle the matter.
Huo Ni found Xiaoshui Village very smoothly. The couple of the Song family went to the fields to do farm work.
Earn work points and save food.
People in Xiaoshui Village envied the old couple of the Song family. They had heard that Song Shengsheng not only lived a good life in the capital, but also was admitted to a good university.
The remaining two members of the Song family will probably have no problem taking the college entrance examination this year.
Song Peiyuan, in particular, had always been at the top of his class since he was young. He was a three-good student and an outstanding class leader, and he would bring home awards every year.
In other places, it is difficult to produce a college student in a village.
All three children in their family were able to go to college, which is really a great honor for their ancestors.
When Huo Nian arrived at the Song family, only Zhao Xiaoning was at home. She was forcibly sent back to Ningcheng by people from the capital. Because she wrote a fake letter of introduction and certificate, she was severely criticized and wrote a self-criticism. Only then did she behave herself for a while.
Her family also introduced her to jobs and partners.
Zhao Xiaoning looked down on any of them and the stalemate lasted for a long time, but the old ones still got the upper hand.
She couldn't persuade her parents, and in the past few months she has been reluctantly dating the blind date her parents introduced to her.
But Zhao Xiaoning hasn't given up yet. She absolutely will not marry this blind date partner.
She was waiting for the opportunity, and just at this moment, Huo Jin came.
In his previous life, Zhao Xiaoning had never met Huo Jin, but he often saw news about him in the news.
Although she didn't know Huo Nian, she knew that he was a leg up that she could climb.
Zhao Xiaoning had no idea how Huo Jin came to Xiaoshui Village, as Huo Jin had never appeared in his life.
Huo Nian did not go directly to the Song family, but instead went around in circles to inquire about the eldest daughter of the old couple in the Song family in front of other people in the village.
The villagers were somewhat jealous of her. They couldn't say anything good about her, but they wouldn't slander her either.
"Shengsheng? Isn't she living a good life in the capital now? I'm afraid you won't be able to find her if you come looking for her."
There was also someone who had evil intentions, looking at him meaningfully, and saying something that sounded like a joke but was not very pleasant: "What is your relationship with the eldest daughter of the Song family? How many people has she offended outside?"
When Huo Jin heard this, his face turned gloomy.
There was no respect for her in these words, and one could imagine that her situation in the village was not very good under normal circumstances.
The man saw that his expression changed quickly, and his gloomy look was a little scary.
The old bachelor, who was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, calmed down and laughed twice, muttering: "The eldest daughter of the Song family is very capable. You don't need to worry about her. You'd better worry about yourself."
Someone nearby also echoed without any malice: "Yes, she has been smart since she was young, and has made her parents faint several times. Don't be like the old Shen family, who was deceived by her and felt sorry for her."
"Hey, you mentioned the old Shen family. I don't know what he was thinking. He was a great student, but why couldn't he see that Song Shengsheng was lying to him?"
"That's right. When Shen Zhishu was a kid, all his pocket money was taken away by her. He always had to rely on her for food and drink."
These unintentional chatter.
It was obviously different from what Huo Ting heard yesterday morning.
