Everyone had left, leaving only Old Man Li, Wang Yiting, Li Fuyi, and the Li family head in the small house.
"Grandpa, why did you hurt my brother?"
Li Fuyi, her face dark with age, strained to open her eyes and stare at the old man. For the past week, she had tried various methods to lighten her skin.
But the effect was minimal. They could only take it one step at a time, keeping their eyes open as much as possible, mainly so that Old Man Li could see them, instead of his eyes being invisible on his charcoal-black face.
"Dad, why did you steal Li Jiafu's money?"
Wang Yiting followed Li Fuyi and looked at Old Man Li. The reproach in her eyes made Old Man Li feel very uncomfortable.
What do you mean by stealing? He just took it. It's perfectly natural for a grandfather to take his grandson's things.
Besides, what's in his room belongs to him. How would he know it belongs to Li Jiafu? If Li Jiafu hadn't said anything, how would he have known?
His inner sophistry flowed perfectly, but on the surface, Old Man Li didn't utter a single word.
"Third brother's wife, after the third brother comes back, you and the third brother come to my room. I have a way to save Jiamin. If it works, your mother and the fourth brother can also be saved."
Wang Yiting paused for a moment, realizing she hadn't heard from Old Lady Li and Li Laosi for a long time.
"good."
Her head was lowered, and a large, sarcastic smile curled at the corner of Wang Yiting's lips.
He's a good father, but not a good grandfather.
Even when they were stranded in the far northwest, Old Man Li never seemed worried. This time, his claim of rescuing Li Jiamin was more about saving Li Laosi and Old Lady Li.
Old Mrs. Li is one thing, after all, she's their mother, but what about Li Laosi?
Li Laosi is everywhere, everything he does is Li Laosi, everything he thinks about is Li Laosi, if you really like him, just follow along.
In reality, he wanted Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua to support him in his old age, but behind their backs, he wrote to them saying he needed their help.
After looking at it from all angles, it seems that the only person Old Man Li truly cares about is Li Laosi.
She understood, but Wang Yiting had no choice but to do as she was told. She still needed Old Man Li to save Li Jiamin, her most promising son, who couldn't stay in the dark room forever.
What happened next, Li Yiyi and the others didn't know, but there was only one outcome: Li Jiamin would not be released.
"Mother, should we take this?"
Pointing to the things on the ground, Li Yiyi asked,
Their family planned to visit Jiang Zuoqiu's parents' home, a plan they had made long ago. They had been delayed a little, but fortunately, they still made it in time.
Li Laoda from the meat processing plant has already requested leave, and Li Yiyi from the school has also requested leave.
The round trip will take an unknown amount of time, so it's better to ask for a few extra days in case of emergency.
"Take them all!"
A complex emotion flashed in her eyes. Jiang Yuting didn't know how to face Jiang Zuoque's parents.
To say she was treated badly, Jiang Zuoque's parents did treat her very well during the time she was first sent to the countryside. To say she was treated badly, they wanted to marry her off to a butcher to get money for their son to get married.
For example, the bad turn of events happened in just one day, which Jiang Yuting found hard to accept. She rarely recalled this memory, and it was only because of Jiang Zuoque's appearance that it reminded her.
She may never go back in this lifetime.
"good."
Li Yiyi, being sensible, put everything into her spatial storage, leaving only some items for concealment and easy carrying.
They went to such a far place without bringing anything, yet they lived a life of plenty. Anyone with eyesight could tell there was something wrong with them.
"Let's go, let's set off."
The blue sky is even bluer now, and the wind has become more gentle, softly brushing past and lifting a few strands of hair instead of blowing hard and leaving your hair disheveled.
Indeed, I prefer traveling to studying.
But I also love learning; there's a saying that goes something like that.
Theoretical knowledge must be applied to real life.
Li Yiyi walked happily ahead, while Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting watched from behind.
They exchanged a knowing smile, unable to understand how their daughter could have so many ideas.
The journey is long; some are leisurely, some are sad, and some are at peace.
On the way back to Beijing from the production team, if we're talking about attracting attention, Jiang Zuoque is undoubtedly number one. With his all-black attire, you couldn't find a single person darker-skinned than him in the entire train station.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Er were also following behind. Those in the know understood that they were employer and employee, but those who didn't would think that Jiang Zuoque had done something wrong and was being watched and suppressed by Jiang Yi and Jiang Er.
Train stations are crowded, and Jiang Zuoque had always known this.
But the return journey was the opposite of the journey there; the more crowded it was on the way there, the easier it was on the way back.
Without a doubt, no one dared to approach Jiang Zuoque within a meter. Many gave him strange looks, but no one dared to get close. With a dark expression, Jiang Zuoque was unlikely to be happy.
Unfortunately, he was already as black as charcoal, so no matter how dark his face became, no one could tell.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Er, engrossed in their meal, didn't notice anything amiss. Great, they can collect their wages before the New Year once they get back.
I've arrived in Beijing. I was thinking of going to the hospital to get this stubborn dark skin washed off.
The examination revealed that I have naturally dark skin that cannot be cleaned unless I get a new skin.
If he hadn't been wrong, Jiang Zuoque could accept it.
But he was fair-skinned; he was certain that no one was fairer than him as a baby. Even more embarrassing was that, looking like this, Jiang Zuoque didn't even dare to go back.
Urged on by Jiang Yi and Jiang Er, Jiang Zuoque had no choice but to go back.
Just as they stepped inside, a white shadow flew towards their foreheads. Having learned from their previous two experiences, Jiang Yi and Jiang Er quickly moved to a safe position.
As for Jiang Zuoque, he naturally accepted the teacup as a gift with great generosity.
