Chapter 97 Police Dog Assessment 1 You all have to pass the assessment, otherwise…
To be honest, Qiu Xiaoman didn't want to create trouble for herself and take on so much responsibility.
It was simply a matter of shared suffering; seeing these children homeless, we did everything we could to provide them with a shelter.
Now that Shen Qinghuai is willing to find a way to get these children back to their parents, she would naturally be happy to see it happen if these parents are truly willing to treat their children well.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What's your idea?"
Shen Qinghuai didn't intend to hide anything and said bluntly, "It's simple. Take Tuantuan's father for example. How much money can he make by running that home repair shop? What if I provide him with other ways to make money?"
In this way, the job that earned money was obtained because of Qiu Xiaoman's influence, and Qiu Xiaoman always protected Li Tuantuan and her brother, so Li's parents naturally had to treat their family's god of wealth as a god of wealth.
The same method can be applied to the parents of other children, after all, this group is approaching middle age, and none of them are doing as well as Shen Qinghuai.
People die for money, birds die for food; for the sake of money, things will be resolved properly.
In this way, these children owe Xiaoman a huge favor, and they will probably lend a hand if Xiaoman encounters any trouble in the future.
After all, Shen Qinghuai couldn't guarantee that he was omnipotent, and there would always be areas in Xiaoman's life that he couldn't take care of.
Of course, special arrangements might be needed for Liu Xiangyang, since Shen Qinghuai doesn't want to see a perfectly good child return to that corrupt environment, especially since Liu Xiangyang's father has already been arrested. That shouldn't be difficult; if all else fails, he can find Liu Xiangyang a good family to adopt him.
He looked at his daughter with anticipation, hoping to receive her praise and affirmation.
Qiu Xiaoman frowned: "I don't think this is reliable. What if they can't make money one day? Wouldn't they have to kick these kids out again?"
Shen Qinghuai wasn't worried. He smiled and said, "No, the youngest of them is fourteen years old. As long as my company doesn't go bankrupt in the next four years, they'll all be adults and can go out and make their own way in the world after that."
Qiu Xiaoman fell into a long silence, because she knew that these children actually preferred to return to their parents.
Just like her, even though she resented Shen Qinghuai and Chen Baihui, as long as they were willing to admit their mistakes and coax her a little, she would feel a little better.
Even if they don't acknowledge each other, at least they can vent their anger.
She finally nodded: "Then give it a try."
Shen Qinghuai laughed. He took the money and left, planning to transfer it to his daughter on Monday. She hadn't said he couldn't play tricks on her.
Before Qiu Xiaoman went to sleep, she gathered the children in the yard and talked to them. Sure enough, once there was hope, everyone wanted to go back and see.
They wouldn't give up until they reached the Yellow River; this was the obsession of each and every one of them.
Qiu Xiaoman comforted her, "Then let's wait and see. I'll let you know when there's a result."
The children's eyes all welled up with tears; they couldn't bring themselves to say thank you, and could only promise to repay you later.
As for Liu Xiangyang, he knew his father had been arrested and believed Uncle Shen must have other plans, so he didn't ask any further questions. He really didn't want to affect Xiaoman's life. Anyway, they were both in the capital, and there would be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
However, there were two discordant figures in the crowd: Song Xiaomei and Song Xiaojun.
They never expected Qiu Xiaoman's father to be so rich, let alone that he would be willing to help them.
Logically, they should be grateful, but the huge gap in status makes them feel even more uncomfortable.
I can't help but recall when we first arrived at the courtyard house, Qiu Xiaoman would haggle over even a hundred or two yuan, which really infuriated them.
So much so that when the siblings returned to the house, they started grumbling and complaining to each other.
Song Xiaomei was the most annoyed and said resentfully, "She's such a hypocrite, pretending to be high-minded and proud, refusing to acknowledge this father. Now that she sees this father can help us get rid of us, she shows a completely different face. It's disgusting."
Song Xiaojun, wearing an eye patch, gritted her teeth: "Don't rush, sister. We'll find a way to get back at her when we get back. Her father was originally going to help with my medical expenses, but for some reason, he refused to help anymore. She must have said something. It's disgusting!"
"It's definitely her!" Song Xiaomei was trembling with anger. Since Qiu Xiaoman's family was so rich, what was wrong with helping them out? They were all poor souls who grew up in Yunnan and were abandoned by their parents. Couldn't she be a little more generous?
The siblings grew angrier and angrier, and the more they wanted to vent their anger with vicious words, completely unaware that a long, thin spotted dog was standing at the window, having overheard their entire conversation.
When Qiu Xiaoman finished soaking her feet and was about to go to sleep, Xiaohua came over. He and Mango exchanged glances and discussed their ideas. After Qiu Xiaoman got into bed, he followed her to the bedside, silently squatted down, and stared at Qiu Xiaoman with his big, watery eyes.
Qiu Xiaoman knew he had something to say, so she lifted the quilt, put on her cotton-padded coat, sat down in front of the bed, patted Xiaohua's head, and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?"
Xiao Hua immediately repeated what he had heard, not only today's words, but also other vicious words he had heard recently.
Mango had instructed him to do all of this. Mango had long suspected that the siblings harbored malicious intentions, but unfortunately, Mango's belly was getting bigger every day, and it would be easy for her to get sick if she went out in the cold. So she handed over the task of eavesdropping to Xiaohua.
Xiao Hua had wanted to tattle on him for a long time, but his owner had been too busy lately, and he couldn't bear to bother him. But today he had to come clean with his owner, otherwise, his owner's father would have really helped those two siblings, which would have disgusted them dogs to death.
Xiaohua grew angrier the more she thought about it. When she mimicked Song Xiaomei's speech, she shook her head and deliberately used a high-pitched voice, trying to imitate Song Xiaomei's shrill voice. She barked like a little dog.
Qiu Xiaoman listened silently, patted Xiaohua's head, and said nothing.
Little Flower asked, puzzled, "Master, aren't you angry?"
"It's the unexpected that makes me angry." Qiu Xiaoman had indeed noticed that the siblings were never satisfied. Helping them wasn't enough; they wanted her to be their mother. They were dreaming.
She pondered for a moment and then instructed, "I'll handle this. Be careful these next few days. After the police dog assessment this month, I'll recommend you and Xiaobai to go to the base next month. Just don't let anything happen, understand?"
"Yes, Master." Little Flower was overjoyed to hear that she could go to the base next month. She immediately wagged her tail and excitedly spun around several times before sitting down.
Qiu Xiaoman smiled and told him to go to sleep. She then got down and stroked Xiaobai and Mango, praising and comforting them before turning off the lights and going to bed.
In the dead of night, she pondered for a long time and came up with a plan. The next morning, she called Shen Qinghuai and said, "Don't help the Song siblings. I'm going to lie to them and say that I sold the courtyard house. Then I will notify Li Erhu to have their parents come over and take them away."
Shen Qinghuai asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did they make you angry?"
Qiu Xiaoman picked out some particularly offensive sentences and relayed them to Shen Qinghuai.
Shen Qinghuai was shocked: "How could there be such a vicious child! Don't worry about this, I'll inform their parents. And don't lie about selling the courtyard house. It's your house, what are you afraid of? It's a piece of cake to kick them out!"
Qiu Xiaoman asked curiously, "You're not thinking of bribing their parents again, are you?"
"How could that be! Silly child, do you think I have money to burn? I'm only willing to spend it on you." After saying that, Shen Qinghuai felt a little embarrassed. After all, he hadn't even given her living expenses before, he was so stingy. So he could only awkwardly change the subject, "These Song family kids are too vicious. I'll teach them a lesson, don't worry."
"Don't do anything illegal or disorderly," Qiu Xiaoman repeatedly warned.
Shen Qinghuai assured him, "Don't worry, Dad will never do anything to hold you back."
Qiu Xiaoman held back this time and didn't correct him, saying that he wasn't her father.
Forget it, I'll just take advantage of him. He delivered himself to my door, humph.

Qiu Xiaoman went to the training base to train dogs again, and Fang Jiadong also worked overtime, competing with her the whole time. She wasn't angry, because having a competitor can boost morale. So her morning was busy and fulfilling.
Around noon, the phone rang. Wu Shirong invited her to the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Kunlun Hotel.
Qiu Xiaoman had never been to such a flashy place before, so she could only ask, "I can't drive. My brother will take me there. I can't let him find a place to eat by himself, can I? What if I—"
“I know you have a friend named Li Tuantuan who commutes to get off work with you, right? I was just about to tell you that I booked a table for four. You should have them all come.” Wu Shirong smiled and took over the conversation. As the host, he had to be generous to the fullest extent. How could he let a girl make such a request?
It would be best if he offered to do so.
Qiu Xiaoman was relieved and smiled, "Then you really went to all that trouble."
"No need to spend any money, no need to spend any money. By the way, you don't mind if I bring Mimi along, do you?"
"I don't mind at all. You're asking if the restaurant has any objections, right?"
"It's alright, I know the foreman, it'll be a piece of cake."
"Wow, I didn't expect you to have such a high status, senior. I'll have to enjoy the scenery of the revolving restaurant today."
"Haha, I'm glad you're satisfied. I've arrived. How about I show you the menu and you see what you'd like to eat?"
"No need, just order whatever you like, I'm not picky."
Still not convinced, Wu Shirong pressed on, "You must have your own preferred tastes or things you particularly want to eat, right?"
"If I could, I'd like to eat a piece of cake." Qiu Xiaoman thought for a moment and described the cake her adoptive mother had wanted to make for her, even describing the size, color, and pattern exactly the same.
Wu Shirong smiled and said, "No problem, I'll have the kitchen make it for you right away. Don't worry, be careful on the road."
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Xiaoman checked her watch, finished work, and went home.
Fang Jiadong, who was standing to the side, rolled his eyes at her without saying hello. He deliberately led his four dogs to cut in her way, and the leashes almost tripped Qiu Xiaoman's dogs, causing her to almost fall flat on her face.
Qiu Xiaoman wasn't the type to stand idly by while someone was taking advantage of her. She simply braced herself with her right hand, picked up a pebble from the ground, stood up, and smashed it against Fang Jiadong's exposed left wrist.
Fang Jiadong winced in pain, whirled around, and glared at her fiercely: "You ambushed me?"
"No," Qiu Xiaoman said innocently. "Don't accuse me wrongly. I was busy getting up, how could I have ambushed you?"
Fang Jiadong rubbed his reddened wrist and turned around to have a serious talk with her.
Unfortunately, Captain Meng had been keeping an eye on him these past few days. Upon seeing this, he immediately came over and scolded, "Fang Jiadong, watch your words and actions! How could you, a grown man, deliberately trip a woman? And then you turn around and blame her? You're shameless!"
When Fang Jiadong saw that Captain Meng was being biased again, he snorted and left.
Qiu Xiaoman smiled and said, "Thanks, Captain Meng."
"You!" Captain Meng couldn't help but sigh, "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. Your future path... sigh..."
"Don't worry, Captain Meng, I'll be careful." Qiu Xiaoman was in a hurry, so she smiled and handed the dog leash to Captain Meng. "I have to go now, Captain Meng. Someone's treating me to dinner. I'll come back for extra training this afternoon!"
"Go on, go on." Captain Meng always had a loving look on his face, just like an old father. There was no way around it; his daughter was about the same age, and he really felt sorry for Xiao Qiu.
So when Xiao Qiu asked him to run errands and take the dog back, he was happy to do so.
Upon arriving at the kennel, he didn't forget to give the dogs a lesson: "You guys must make your owners proud, you know? All four dogs have to pass my test on the first try. If any one of them fails, I'll immediately cull their testicles and find them a home!"
All three dogs hung their heads low as they listened to the scolding, except for Gray, who stood tall and proud.
Oh well, it doesn't matter. Grey is a female dog, she doesn't have testicles. Even if Captain Fierce wanted to steal her testicles, they wouldn't be there. Hmph!
