Chapter 988 Completely Offline
"I never thought that Sister Qiao An would be so nice to me! She and I are just acquaintances."
Zeng Yiming laughed after hearing this: "Don't forget I'm here!"
Ding Xunye looked at him for a long time and smiled, "My parents said at the beginning that with your relationship with Brother Shen, I wouldn't suffer any loss if I followed you. Now it seems that they are both very experienced, so I am just taking advantage of them."
Zeng Yiming couldn't help it, his face darkened. Although he knew it was the truth, it was too depressing.
"Wife, can you please give me some face?" He looked so aggrieved, yet really lovable.
Ding Xunye reached out and touched his slightly weathered face, and said with a smile: "It's your ability to have a capable friend. Come on, I'm rooting for you!"
"Hehehe!" Zeng Yiming shook his head and admitted it.
Indeed, he has benefited a lot from Shen Yanming. It is lucky to have such a friend!
In the blink of an eye, it was November. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan hid at home for the winter. An An and Nuan Nuan went to school every day. The two of them were cold but did not give up.
The couple's large cotton coats wrapped around them. Although they didn't fit them well, they were much better than last year.
The temperature in the classroom was not high. With the heater and a stove, it barely reached around zero degrees.
The children's hands were frozen stiff, but they still persisted. There was no other way. Although the temperature in the classroom was not high, it was even lower at home. Instead of going home to feel the low temperature of minus 10 to 20 degrees Celsius, or even 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, it was better to stay in the classroom, at least it was not that cold.
Because of the low temperature, all of Qi Xili's classes were cancelled. Behind the children's cheers, the adults were worried.
An An and Nuan Nuan were given special treatment. Although they didn't learn much in school, Lao Qi often came home to teach the children boxing and kicking.
The narrow living room was too small to accommodate the two babies, but Qi Xili never mentioned bringing the two babies home. Although his place was bigger and more spacious, it was inappropriate for a grown man like him to be with two babies.
Regardless of whether you have bad intentions or not, being alone with someone can easily lead to misunderstandings. It is better to put it in front of the couple so that everyone can feel at ease.
An An Nuan Nuan was still young and didn't think so much. But Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were very satisfied with Qi Xili's character.
So they always subsidized him whenever they could, which made Qi Xili almost suspicious. But the food was just ordinary carrots, cabbages, and potatoes, so he could only comfort himself that the couple grew a lot.
With the guidance of a famous teacher, An An and Nuan Nuan have made great progress. Although it is not convenient to practice in the living room, they have space at home.
Since the two children started practicing martial arts, the couple relaxed the time they could enter the space. At least they were allowed to practice for one or two hours every night, and after practice, they could take a hot bath. But if they wanted to sleep there at night, it was not allowed.
The temperature outside is getting lower and lower. If they don't adapt quickly, they might be eliminated.
For example, the big goose came out once in September. After staying in the living room for just two hours, it developed a fever. The temperature outside the space made it very uncomfortable. After the big goose was taken back, it was always listless. It was only after Shen Yanming gave it medicine that it gradually got better.
Seeing this, An An and Nuan Nuan no longer dared to mess around. At the same time, they also admired their parents and became more active in sleeping outside every day.
At the end of December, Zeng Yiming came again.
The couple thought that something had happened to Ding Xunye again, but they didn't expect that Zeng Yiming was talking about the Xiao family.
"The daughter-in-law of that family is gone. The old lady didn't fix the stove properly at night, and the three members of the family were poisoned by gas."
"Ah? How do you know?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
Zeng Yiming did not hide it: "The girl named Jin is no longer in business. I forgot to tell you when I came last time. She was sold out. She made a lot of money for Brother Long at the beginning, but after a long time, the customers found her boring.
But she had many guests before, and she didn't clean up well. You know, she got sick after a while. Brother Long didn't want her anymore, so he returned her to the Xiao family. But the old lady closed the door and refused to let him in, saying that the Xiao family didn't want such an unfaithful daughter-in-law.
Many people were angry at the time, but they didn't dare to speak for justice. The old lady had only one principle: if anyone wanted to be kind, they should go there by themselves. Her family couldn't afford to support idlers.
The neighbor next door went to look for Old Man Xiao, but when he found out, he just squatted on the ground and sighed.
"You should be able to imagine that the Xiao family just wants to get rid of him. It's strange that they didn't abandon him on the way to Hai City, but now that everything is settled here, they want to abandon him. It's really heartless."
"Oh, how did that person die?" Bi Qiaoan didn't have much sympathy. He just felt that someone like Chen Jin should be an indestructible cockroach. How could he suddenly die?
"Brother Long saw that the Xiao family would not accept her, so he could not just throw her away, and brought her back to the shack. He left her there alone, feeding her a little bit every day and then leaving her alone. It was said that she froze to death in the snow, but I heard that when the young wife was found, her clothes were in disarray and even her limbs were twisted.
But because it was outside the base and no one was on her side, Brother Long buried it hastily. He didn’t investigate and just said it was bad luck.”
"Okay." Bi Qiaoan nodded, thinking that maybe his luck had been exhausted.
Zeng Yiming continued, "Two days ago, the man next to the Xiao family woke up in the morning and found that the old lady didn't curse at him. He thought that the old lady had changed her nature and didn't take it seriously. But at noon, the door of the house was still not opened, and he felt something was wrong.
After calling several households nearby to knock on the door, they smelled a strong smell of coal smoke. The neighbors quickly kicked the door open and saw that the old man, the old woman, and the idiot from the Xiao family were already unconscious.
With the help of the guards, everyone sent the man to the base hospital. After examination, it was found that the poisoning was serious and even if he was rescued, he would not be able to take care of himself. The hospital didn't know what to do, and the base was also worried.
It would be fine if the person just died, but who would be responsible for the food, drink, defecation and urination of these half-dead people with no family members? But we can't just abandon them, after all, there are three lives involved.
The guards had no choice but to hire an aunt to provide food for the family of three. The aunt didn't care much, but she didn't want them to die so soon. They just dragged it out and lived one day at a time.
The couple nodded and said nothing, thinking that under such conditions, the Xiao family of three would not be able to hold on for much longer.
As expected, before the end of the year, the three members of the Xiao family passed away.
It is said that he froze to death. When the guards were cleaning the body, they found that the whole house was smelly.
The pants of the three people were yellow with shit, and no one cleaned them.
The aunt was criticized a few times for being irresponsible, but the matter was over.
