In the past two years, the whole family has been busy with school and other things, so we haven't been able to celebrate the Lunar New Year properly.
This year, their eldest daughter and youngest son returned home, and Zhao Guozhong and his wife handed over all the affairs to the manager.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Zhao family went to the market.
Oh, no, that's not right either. Zhao Xiaoyue stayed home to look after the house, while the Zhao family went to the market.
She was so curious about the comic convention that she kept asking Grandma Li all sorts of questions.
There are many things here that he has seen before.
The place was bustling and crowded, with shouts and various calls filling the air. People were amazed by the anime convention, running around looking at this and that, touching this and looking at that.
So this is what it's like to celebrate the New Year in Zhao's hometown. There are all kinds of New Year pictures, lanterns, bowls and plates for sale, you name it.
"Hey! Don't you have eyes?!"
Li Jiaqing was engrossed in a conversation with a young woman selling flowers when he was bumped on the shoulder at the comic convention.
At the comic convention, he disgustedly wiped away a drop of saliva that had sprayed on his face.
Upon seeing that the man was a blue-eyed foreigner, Li Jiaqing immediately began to fawn over him and apologize.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a tall foreigner in this place and in this day and age. So this is what foreigners look like.
The young woman next to him stared wide-eyed; this foreigner was incredibly handsome.
Sorry, how are you?
The person at the comic convention was taken aback. "What are you saying? Are you trying to scam me?"
Li Jiaqing: "???"
So he can understand what I'm saying! Look at him, all that excitement for nothing. He was even about to throw in a foreign language.
"Hey, Jiaqing, you're pretty capable! You've even picked up a foreign language? Hehehe!"
The comic convention staff silently moved on.
Li Jiaqing squinted at the Zhao couple as they squeezed through the crowd. That bastard is back. Is that little bitch back too?
He remembered how badly he had been beaten last time, and his whole body ached.
He would not be a gentleman if he did not avenge this wrong. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. One day he will catch that little bitch and make her pay the price.
On New Year's Eve, Li Guilan prepared a sumptuous dinner, and the family ate happily together.
The three "children" were having a great time with fireworks.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was sleeping in late, but the old lady was the first to get up.
Seeing that her grandmother was already up, Zhao Xiaoyue decided to get up as well.
The grandfather and grandson were sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), chatting idly, when the police came knocking on their door.
Zhao Xiaoyue and the old lady were both puzzled. Why would the police come to their door on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
Only after further questioning did we learn that both Uncle Li and Uncle Li Er were at the police station.
There is also a fugitive, Li Jiaqing.
The old woman nearly fainted. "These damned beasts! How could I have given birth to so many things? Waaah!"
The old lady felt both heartache and regret.
The reason the police came knocking was simple: someone had reported that Li Jiaqing had run off with a lot of their money.
It turns out that Li Jiaqing started some kind of company, and according to the reason, it was something like illegal fundraising.
"Invest one yuan and you can get two yuan back." Many familiar relatives and friends have invested their money in Li Jiaqing's company.
But two years have passed and there has been no news. Many people have saved up their hard-earned money bit by bit, and now it's all gone.
Some people realized they had been scammed, so they reported it to the police.
The amount of money defrauded has reached over 100,000 yuan.
The comic convention and Zhao Guozhong also showed up.
Such a serious matter is punishable by imprisonment, so the old lady hurriedly asked if she would be executed.
The police quickly explained that he might go to jail to pay off his debts, but he wouldn't be executed.
Grandma Li breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't dead... they should have learned their lesson!
It's all her and her husband's fault for spoiling their son too much in the past.
Both families will be implicated; it turns out he went down the path of illegal fundraising in his past life.
No wonder they disappeared so cleanly.
Now Li Jiaqing is a veritable stray dog, having run off with everyone's money.
"If you have any information about him, please contact me as soon as possible."
The two police officers left.
Zhao Xiaoyue comforted Grandma Li, telling her not to worry and that she would keep an eye on things.
Li Guilan accompanied Old Mrs. Li.
"I'll go pick them up. Mom, you stay with Grandma."
"Okay, you and your dad go see what's going on with them."
"No need, I can go to the comic convention."
After leaving the comic convention, Zhao Xiaoyue picked up the phone and called Hou Taotao directly.
"Brother Tao, have Zhang Xiaomeng take a few men to the southwest region to investigate someone. I'll send you the information and location."
After the call ended, the anime convention attendee asked curiously, "Has this ever happened before?"
The comic convention was about whether such a thing had happened in a past life.
Zhao Xiaoyue took a deep breath and sneered, "Yes, but we just don't know it. You're the one who's handling things."
Just then, Dou Fenqin arrived.
From afar, I saw a woman wearing a cotton-padded coat and a gray headscarf, running towards Yanyang Village, crying and wailing.
Zhao Xiaoyue and the comic convention organizers walked over in a few steps, stopped the people, and Zhao Xiaoyue scolded, "Stop crying!"
Dou Fenqin was terrified. "My God! The sky has fallen! My son is going to die because of this! Ah!! I can't live like this! Ah!!"
The crying was loud but no rain fell; the wailing continued all the way.
Zhao Xiaoyue said directly, "If you cry again, I'll break your neck!"
These words stunned Dou Fenqin.
She still remembered that plague god who brazenly committed murder in her home that year.
"I...I...I need to see the old lady...She can't just ignore what happened!"
