Seeing the smile on Xia Anyan's face, the old man's mood also improved. As long as the girl was happy, he was happy too.
Since everything was handed over to Han Qingfeng and his group, they were no longer involved in the follow-up matters.
The next day, Xia Anyan planned to take her family out for a stroll.
They can go back to the places they visited last time, or even go to places a little further away.
You have to make the most of your trip.
However, they were stopped at the entrance as soon as they came out of the guesthouse.
The same scene, the same people, but different things happened.
As soon as Zhou Yatong saw Xia Anyan come out, she rushed up to her and knelt down in front of her with a thud.
Xia Anyan was still a little dazed and didn't even have time to react.
Only when she saw clearly that there was a person kneeling in front of her did she hurriedly jump to the side.
This person wants to kill her!
Xia Anyan glanced around and, sure enough, noticed that the way people looked at her had changed.
These days, if she dares to bully people, she'll never have a good life, and her whole family might be implicated.
Zhou Yatong was not unaware of this, but she still did it anyway.
Why? Is it because she's too impatient and doesn't understand? She probably doesn't!
"Comrade Zhou, what are you trying to do? Although we had some minor disagreements before, everything has been resolved. Why are you suddenly pulling this stunt now? Do you dislike me and want to kill me?"
Xia Anyan looked at her hesitantly, her face full of grievance: "Comrade Zhou, I know you're upset about what happened to your family, but you can't try to kill me because of this person."
“The people who arrested your mother are officers from the local police station. I’m just an ordinary person and can’t help you much. You really don’t need to do this.”
With just a few words, she successfully extricated herself from the situation and also let everyone know what kind of person Zhou Yatong was. Even if Zhou Yatong said some unpleasant things later, Xia Anyan was not afraid of being implicated.
Zhou Yatong's face turned pale, but she couldn't bring herself to say the words of reproach. She still needed Xia Anyan's help, and she couldn't let things turn out the way they did before.
Zhou Yatong got up from the ground, her face flushed red.
She knew perfectly well that everyone around her was watching her, whether with disdain or with other ulterior motives.
But Zhou Yatong doesn't care about any of that right now.
She had never felt so desperate before, but now she really didn't know what to do, so she thought of Xia Anyan.
Perhaps, Xia Anyan is the only one who can save her now.
"Comrade Xia, I'm not here to hurt you, nor am I trying to drag you down. My mother's situation... has nothing to do with you; she brought it on herself. Even without you, she..."
"Leaving all that aside, the reason I came here is to ask you for help."
She spoke haltingly, simply because there were too many people around, and she was embarrassed to say these things in front of everyone.
Besides, she's not stupid.
Not wanting to go to the countryside is a violation of discipline, and that's a serious matter.
Xia Anyan didn't understand what she meant.
Zhou Yatong is alive and well, so why should she be saved?
Besides, she had just sent Zhou's mother in, and the Zhou family had a lot of things to deal with. As a daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Yatong was unlikely to encounter anything serious, so why did Zhou Yatong have to come here?
"Comrade Xia, could you... could you speak to me in private?" Afraid that Xia Anyan would refuse, she quickly added, "Don't worry, we're right here, everyone can see us."
Xia Anyan found her appearance strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
In the end, Xia Anyan had no choice but to accept it.
But Grandpa Xia and the others were very worried.
Especially Gu's mother, who tugged at Xia Anyan's arm: "Ayan, I'll go with you."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Yatong and said, "Comrade Zhou, you shouldn't mind if I'm with my daughter-in-law, right? I'm not a lesbian, so it won't affect your reputation."
Zhou Yatong hesitated for a moment, but after glancing at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she finally nodded in agreement.
They came to a small corner where everyone around could see their movements but couldn't hear them speak.
Zhou Yatong lowered her voice before repeating what her father had said.
She cried uncontrollably, her hands trembling.
In the end, she couldn't help but accuse him: "Yes, I know I have a bad temper and a bad personality, but I'm still my father's daughter! How could he be so cruel?"
"And then there's my third brother. He knew that woman wasn't a good person, but he still distanced himself from his sister because of her. I know I was wrong; I caused the death of an innocent child. But I was really... blinded by anger at the time. I can apologize and admit my mistake, but how could he abandon me?"
Xia Anyan and Gu's mother looked at her and felt that Zhou Yatong still hadn't realized her mistakes.
She always felt that as a daughter of the Zhou family, she should enjoy everything the Zhou family had to offer.
She must have everything that her brothers and sisters have.
She probably couldn't understand why her brothers and sisters didn't have to go to the countryside, but she did.
But he seemed to have forgotten that every single thing she did was done with her father's help.
"Comrade Xia, I really don't want to go to the countryside. You're so kind, please help me out of consideration for the fact that we're both girls."
"I sincerely apologize for what I did to you before. I promise that I will never do it again and I will be a better person."
Xia Anyan remained expressionless and did not speak.
Gu's mother felt the same way, but there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Zhou Yatong panicked even more under their gazes, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Comrade Xia, what exactly do you want in order to help me? Do you... do you really want to drive me to my death?"
She covered her face and cried her heart out.
Xia Anyan scoffed: "Who wants to force you to your death? Your father sent you to the countryside to force you to your death? Besides you, so many other comrades were going to the countryside, did they all die?"
“I’ve been to the countryside for a while before. Although life there was definitely not as good as in the city, how do you know if anything else might happen after I went there?”
"You only know how to blame others, why don't you think about yourself? Hasn't your father thought about you? Hasn't he taken care of things for you? And what about that sister-in-law you keep looking down on, and your brothers and sisters, have they really wronged you?"
