Although Xing Zhaozhao didn't come back when the Gao family made a fuss last time, she still heard the details from Gao Mingcheng. Thinking about it now, she still couldn't help but frown with disgust.
"What's it about this time?" Xing Zhaozhao asked.
“Gao Laosan’s eldest daughter, Pandi, took the college entrance exam this year. The girl has always had good grades, and with these results, she’s guaranteed to go to university. Someone has their eye on her and wants to buy her admission notice. It’s said that Gao Laosan has already taken the money and even found Pandi a husband. He’s been married three times. His first two wives were accidentally killed, and the matter was dropped after he paid compensation.” Fu Lan said with a sigh.
Upon hearing this, Xing Zhaozhao and Gao Mingcheng both frowned and said, "Are those two crazy for money?"
Fu Lan sighed helplessly and said, "Grandpa went to their house to persuade them several times, but they wouldn't listen at all. They've given up on themselves. We've also called the police, but since Director Zhao was promoted to the city, the new one isn't very capable. He said it was a family matter and he wasn't willing to get involved."
"I'll go back and take a look tomorrow," Gao Mingcheng said coldly, his jaw clenched, looking quite angry.
Xing Zhaozhao patted his hand reassuringly: "I'll go back with you tomorrow."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Hongfei went out to open the door and looked at the young girl standing outside, her body and face covered in injuries, with a look of shock: "You are... Pandi? What happened to you?"
Pandi looked at Hongfei, her nose tingled, and tears streamed down her face: "Second Brother..."
Xing Zhaozhao and Gao Mingcheng, who were inside, exchanged a surprised look and immediately got up to go out to greet her. When they saw Pandi's appearance, they were both astonished: "What happened?"
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt..." Pandi cried even harder when she saw Xing Zhaozhao and Gao Mingcheng.
Xing Zhaozhao quickly pulled the person into the house: "Don't cry, tell your second uncle and aunt what happened, we'll stand up for you."
Pandi followed him into the house, limping.
Xing Zhaozhao's heart clenched as she looked at it: "Your foot..."
"It's nothing, I just twisted my ankle when I escaped," Pandi said, forcing a smile.
Xing Zhaozhao felt a little relieved: "They locked you up?"
Pandi sniffed and nodded: "Zhaodi and Laidi secretly let me out when they weren't looking. I originally wanted to come and find Sister-in-law Xiaolan, but when I got to their door, I found no one there. I ran into the neighbor next door and found out that you and Uncle Er came back today..."
Xing Zhaozhao patted her head reassuringly: "You can stay here with us for today, and we'll go back together tomorrow."
Pandi nodded vigorously: "Yes."
Seeing the little girl covered in injuries, Xing Zhaozhao was also worried. She took her to the hospital for an examination and confirmed that it was just a sprained ankle and the rest were just superficial injuries. She was slightly relieved, but even though they were just superficial injuries, the injuries were still quite shocking to look at.
Xing Zhaozhao discussed it with Gao Mingcheng and decided that, no matter what, they were uncle and niece, and especially these three girls, they should help them if they could.
Pandi stayed at Xing Zhaozhao's house temporarily. After learning about the follow-up arrangements from Xing Zhaozhao, her anxious heart was finally put at ease. It felt like she had returned to the years when her grandparents, parents, uncle and aunt were all arrested.
Back then, with the help of the village elders, and her second aunt occasionally slipping her some money to tide her over, life wasn't too hard even without adults around. Unfortunately, those good days didn't last long. After her grandparents returned, things completely reverted to the way they were before. Although her second uncle kept them in check, they didn't dare go too far, and the chores they had to do every day only increased. Eventually, they thought her second uncle had given up, and their old habits began to fester and escalate...
Thankfully, her second uncle and aunt came back, so she no longer has to be afraid.
Pandi's eyes lit up with hope. Thinking about how those people would likely look like they had lost their parents when they saw her second uncle when she went home tomorrow, she bit her lip hard and barely managed to hold back her laughter.
When we went to the Fu family's house for dinner that evening, Ling Xiao and Jing Sa, along with the brothers Wang Dafei and Wang Xiaofa, also arrived with their wives and children.
Wang Dafei is not young anymore. He was afraid of getting into trouble when he was working in the black market, so he never got married. Later, he was busy with the transportation company and didn't have time for marriage. He finally got married two years ago and had a beautiful little girl who is not even two years old yet. He spoils her rotten and treats her like a precious gem.
As soon as Wang Dafei arrived, he took his daughter and went to find Gao Mingcheng: "I'm planning to open another security company. Can you recommend some more people?"
Over the years, Wang Dafei has traveled all over China and abroad several times. The increasingly frequent exchanges between China and other countries have led him to discover new business opportunities.
When he was running a transportation company, he sought out Gao Mingcheng, who helped him find re-employment for veterans while also providing him with high-quality employees.
Gao Mingcheng was naturally more than happy to agree, and since they had already cooperated before, the deal was quickly and smoothly reached an agreement this time.
The two had just finished their discussion when Hongfei and Lingze came over with their business plan to ask Wang Dafei for investment. Lingxiao and Jing Sa happened to be there too, so they were pulled over as well.
Half a month later, Hongfei and Lingze, carrying a huge sum of money—a real fortune—went to the special economic zone and bought a piece of land there.
the next day.
Xiaogaozhuang.
Early in the morning, shouts and curses rang out from Old Gao's house.
Zhao Di and Lai Di secretly released Pan Di and covered for her all night, but they couldn't hide it any longer and Lin Zhenzhen found out.
Lin Zhenzhen swung a feather duster and lashed it at the two skinny girls: "You brats, how dare you secretly let people go without telling me? Who gave you the guts? I'll beat you to death today!"
With each "smack, smack, smack," the two little girls couldn't help but whimper in pain.
Hearing them cry, Lin Zhenzhen hit them even harder: "You still have the nerve to cry? Bear it!"
The two girls, afraid of upsetting her, could only bite their lips and endure the pain, but it was so painful that they couldn't help but let out a sob from time to time.
“You still dare to cry, you still dare to cry…” The more they cried, the harder Lin Zhenzhen beat them.
Gao Gui sat on the bench next to him, eating the eggs that Lin Zhenzhen had cooked especially for him. He watched his mother beat his two older sisters and even fanned the flames from the side: "Beat them, beat them hard, beat them to death! They actually let the eldest sister escape. If the eldest sister runs away, where will I get the money to go to the capital to live a good life? But don't beat her to death, Mom. We can sell her later to make money."
"Don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing," Lin Zhenzhen said with a flattering smile, looking at her son.
Next door, Aunt Hao was eating breakfast when she heard the noise coming from next door. Her face darkened, and she couldn't take it anymore. She slammed her chopsticks on the table, turned around, and walked out, rolling up her sleeves as she went: "No, I can't stand it anymore, those beasts..."
Uncle Hao glanced at his son, who was still sitting at the table, and kicked him: "What are you still sitting there like an idiot for? Hurry up and go with your mother, lest she get bullied."
Hao Jianguo looked doubtful: "Who could possibly bully my mother?"
Uncle Hao kicked him again: "Just go when I tell you to, stop talking so much nonsense."
Before Hao Jianguo could make a move, his son Hao Qiang had already finished his meal and ran out, jumping and skipping: "I'm going to help Grandma fight."
Uncle Hao glared at Hao Jianguo with disdain: "He's not as sensible as a ten-year-old."
Hao Jianguo: "..."
