Chapter 159 Evil Plot

Zhou Nuan walked out of the alley with a heavy heart. As soon as she walked out, she saw Gu Xiyue standing not far away. She took two quick steps and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to take you home." The man's voice was slightly deep, and he looked into the alley, "Who is that?"

"Well, it's a..."

She told the story of the old man, and at the end she was filled with sadness, "It's so pitiful. He doesn't know where his family is. If he has family, he should notify them to take them back. It's not easy for the old man either."

Gu Xiyue frowned, "Did he reveal his name?"

Zhou Nuan shook her head. "The old man is very stubborn and refuses to say anything, but I heard his accent sounds like someone from our area."

"The number of people who went on the expedition to Jiangzhou wasn't that large back then. We should be able to find out by checking, but it will take some time." As a retired military officer, Gu Xiyue was also very concerned about this matter. "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Zhou Nuan felt relieved when he agreed to the task. Gu Xiyue was a reliable person and it would not take long to find the old man's family.

“Where did you go today?”

The New Year is coming soon, and both the factories and companies have started their holidays. He should have nothing to do in the next two days, but he went out early this morning.

"Go find a comrade." Gu Xiyue said.

Zhou Nuan let out an "oh".

"That comrade was in charge of the repatriation of people without documents. He Rongsheng and Zhou Chang were not sent back to Jiangzhou. They were brought out by someone and were told that they had been issued residence permits."

Zhou Nuan's eyebrows jumped, "Who is it?"

"It was said to be a woman with the surname Ji. I think it was Ji Huayan."

Ji Huayan?

Zhou Nuan was puzzled: Ji Huayan did stay at the old Zhou family for a period of time, but that was when she was very young and could not remember anything. After that, there was no contact. When did they get in touch again? Also, why did Ji Huayan help He Rongsheng with her mother and child? She did not think that Ji Huayan was the kind of person who cherished the old times.

That's strange.

Gu Xiyue added, "I don't think He Rongsheng will give up, you have to be careful. I've told my mom that she won't open the door for He Rongsheng."

No matter what, this body is He Rongsheng's daughter, and they will never let Zhou Nuan go.

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Nuan nodded.

At this point, we can only fight against the enemy with our troops and block the water with earth.

Ji Huayan wasn't feeling well either.

In order to prevent the two from causing trouble at the Ji family, she scraped together enough money to rent them a fairly decent house, and also left some money to buy them new clothes and food. Unexpectedly, the two were still not satisfied and called her over again today.

The first thing he did was to ask her to take out some more money, saying that it was the New Year and they were going to buy some delicious food. But she knew that buying food was just an excuse, and that he was actually using the money she had managed to collect to go to that kind of place.

It's really ridiculous. She felt disgusted just thinking about using the money given by her own sister to find a woman.

He Rongsheng even defended her son with a plausible argument, "Men can't hold back. Holding back will make them sick. He is the only child in our family, so he can't let him get sick."

Ugh!

How could she have such relatives!!

I don’t know what reason I will use to ask her for money this time.

"Why did you call me here again? The New Year is coming soon and I'm busy at home. Don't call me if there's nothing else." Ji Huayan had a cold face as soon as he entered the door.

Zhou Chang was lying lazily. He had become fatter after not seeing him for a few days. His chubby face was rosy and his mouth was still greasy. It was obvious that he had just eaten and drunk enough.

The table was full of bones and not even a bit of leftover food.

The two of them called her over during dinner time, but did not intend to leave any food for her. Their eyes lingered on the new clothes they were wearing, which made Ji Huayan even more unhappy.

She didn't dare ask Jinianshan for the money to give them, but asked Ji Huacheng instead, on the grounds that it was for buying new clothes for the New Year. Although her brother was usually very strict with her, he was very generous with money. However, the money she had just received, before she could even warm it up, fell into the hands of these two people.

They were wearing new clothes, but she was still wearing last year's old clothes. Why?

He Rongsheng was in a good mood, and finally looked at his daughter with some affection, "Why didn't you come earlier? We just finished eating, why don't you go home and eat later? The food at the Ji family must be much better than ours."

"It's nothing serious to call you here, I just want to ask you, have you got your residence permit?"

Ji Huayan said impatiently, "It's a holiday. Even if you come down, you have to wait for others to go to work to get it. Don't worry, no one will arrest you again."

"Oh, oh, that's good."

"Are you okay? If you're okay, I'll leave first." Ji Huayan turned around and was about to leave.

Zhou Chang quickly winked at He Rongsheng.

He Rongsheng stopped her, "Wait, there is one more thing... Do you have any money now?"

Ji Huayan's face turned green. "Didn't I just give you money a few days ago?"

"How can such a small amount of money be enough for anyone to spend?" Zhou Chang took over the conversation, his fat face full of complaints, "Don't be so stingy, the Ji family doesn't lack that little money. If you treat your adoptive father better and coax him, maybe he will give you the money."

Looking at Zhou Chang's careless attitude, Ji Huayan was extremely angry.

They treated her like a sucker, like a bank, they wanted what they wanted!! Her current situation was already difficult, let alone asking for money. Ji Nian Shan didn't kick her out because she was still useful.

"I really don't have any money, why don't you go ask Zhou Nuan for it? She doesn't know the truth, and you are still her family, so it's only natural for you to go to her."

He Rongsheng glanced at Zhou Chang.

Zhou Nuan was no longer the Zhou Nuan who allowed her to beat and scold her without daring to fight back. For some reason, when she faced her, she intuitively felt that she could no longer control the current Zhou Nuan, not to mention her man who had been a soldier. The look in his eyes frightened her to the core.

They were lucky last time because Gu Xiyue was not at home, but it may not be the case next time.

Anyway, she already had someone to cash in on, so there was no rush to provoke that damn girl. Moreover, she always felt that it was the damn girl who got them caught.

“Why rush? Wait until the residence permit comes out before going to find her.” By then, Zhou Nuan would have no way of driving them away.

Of course Ji Huayan was anxious. She didn't want to see these two disgusting faces for even a day.

"You just want money, don't you? I really don't have any, but I have an idea. Not only can I get some money from Zhou Nuan, but I can also get some money from the Gu family." She looked mysterious, "And they are all willing to give it to you, and they don't let each other know."

He Rongsheng was moved by her.

Is it really that magical? Zhou Nuan and the Gu family both gave her money? Or did they give it willingly?

"Do you really have a solution?"

Ji Huayan nodded, her eyes twinkling.
