Chapter 449 If people don’t save themselves, no one can help them

However, in the end, Xiaowen and his biological mother was not arrested.

She was originally just an accomplice, and the police station gave her a lecture and then let her go. However, her husband was bound to be arrested for kidnapping a child in the street.

Xiaowen's mother was a spineless person. She stayed in the police station and refused to leave, insisting that they release her husband.

After a fierce battle, he felt that although the woman was hateful, she was also pitiful, so he withdrew the lawsuit. The police station also agreed to let the man off this time and not pursue the matter, considering that the man was illiterate and it was his first offense.

Li Zhan finally gave the woman a hundred yuan and said:

"Sister-in-law, this is probably the last time I call you sister-in-law. I'm not giving you this hundred yuan as a dowry for your stepson. You abandoned Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei, but I heard that you also gave birth to another daughter? You should at least protect her well, right? Today this man dared to kidnap Beibei and sell her as a child bride. Tomorrow, your daughter may have the same fate."

"If you come to us again for money, you don't have to come. I won't let Xiaowen and the others see you again, and I won't give you money anymore. But if you ever think it through and want to divorce this man, bring your daughter here and we can help you. Anyway, you take care of yourself."

After saying that, Li Zhan left without looking back.

If he can give me one hundred yuan, he has done his utmost to be kind and righteous. If she is willing to divorce, he and Xia Juanjuan can help her find a job, even if it is cooking and washing clothes for others, they can support themselves and their daughter. He and Xia Juanjuan could also help her to some extent.

But if she doesn't live up to her expectations and insists on clinging to that man for her whole life, then giving her money will be like a bottomless pit. No matter how much money she gives, in the end, not a single cent of it will be spent on her and her girlfriend.

If you don't help yourself, no matter how anxious others are, they can't help you.

Xiaowen's mother held a hundred yuan in her hand, looked at Lizhan's back blankly, opened her mouth, but didn't say a word.

divorce?

She is over 40 and divorced. What man would want her? How can she support herself?

Li Zhan returned home and told Xia Juanjuan about the incident. Xia Juanjuan sighed and said, "Alas! Cowardice is cowardice, but as a mother, she is selfish enough to the extent of this..."

Li Zhan said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to go check on Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu, and Bei Bei. They must be feeling bad too."

Xia Juanjuan said, "No need to go, I just went to see him, he's already asleep."

Li Zhan nodded and said, "Forget it then. Let's be more careful these days. We don't know if that man will persist in his determination and continue to lurk around secretly!"

Fortunately, the man was probably scared and went back, and nothing else happened after that.

Time quickly came to March and April, and the weather became warmer.

As for business matters, Xia Juanjuan didn't take care of anything else except personally delivering the ingredients.

Xia Juanjuan no longer went to Guangzhou to buy clothes. She asked Qi Ningyu and Zhou Qiuhe to go together to choose the styles themselves and then have the post office send them back.

Zhou Qiuhe had just started and didn't know much, but Qi Ningyu had been working in the clothing store for more than a year. Although it was his first time to go to Guangzhou to get goods, his insights and predictions about the styles were still very accurate.

The two of them had complementary experience, and they went to Lao Jin's shop, so Lao Jin knew that they were both Xia Juanjuan's subordinates and gave them the lowest wholesale price.

So, after a few times, the two of them gradually got the hang of it.

The renovation of the five drug stores in Beijing was nearing completion, so Li Jie returned to the county seat.

This time when he went back, he was determined to move his family to Beijing.

When he was in the county town, he actually didn't approve of Zhou Qiuhe quitting his iron rice bowl and his family giving up the family business they had worked so hard to build in the county town and moving to Beijing.

However, after spending a few months in Beijing, his thinking changed 180 degrees!
