Time flies, and it is already mid-April.
It has been a month since Lingchuan’s second wireless electronics store opened. With the concerted efforts of Ling Jiang and Wei Qiaolan, the branch’s business has been growing steadily.
The combined daily sales of the two stores exceed 100,000. If this trend continues, the third branch will be on the agenda within two months.
Lingchuan's career is developing smoothly, and Shao Mo is also very busy.
Classes and the fitness center take up most of her time. At the same time, she is also responsible for the projects of the Li Qun Club. It is inevitable that she will feel overwhelmed after a long time. Moreover, she has no interest in being a strong woman. She just wants to live a comfortable life and do something she likes.
After careful consideration, Shao Mo decided to hand over the affairs of the fitness center to Mrs. Zheng. She only needed to be responsible for the projects of the Li Qun Club, which made her life much easier.
And at this juncture, the Jiang City Public Security Bureau suddenly contacted her.
Huang Zhao was found.
After learning the news, Shao Mo told Huang Zhiqiu immediately, and Huang Zhiqiu immediately notified the Huang family.
Although Huang Zhao was found, he had serious physical and mental problems due to long-term abuse and beatings. His left leg was permanently disabled, he became mentally ill, and his intelligence regressed to that of a 5 or 6-year-old.
In fact, Huang Zhao was accidentally picked up by a security guard on the roadside.
Maybe it's because the person is useless and can't work, and those people don't want to keep him and waste food, so they just abandon him and let him fend for himself.
According to the public security investigation, when the security guard picked up Huang Zhao, he had been wandering for two or three months. He usually fed himself by picking up garbage and stealing food from children. He had only thin and tattered coarse cloth clothes on his body. He was lucky not to have frozen to death.
Upon learning of this situation, Shao Mo couldn't help but feel sad.
Yun Yao died, but she ruined Huang Zhao's life.
As expected, when Peng Fang and Huang Jianguo went to the train station to pick up their eldest son with joy, they ended up seeing that their eldest son had become physically disabled and mentally retarded. One can imagine how they felt.
According to Huang Zhiqiu, Peng Fang cried for many days, either crying at home or making trouble for Yang Xinghua. She even went to the village chief's house to cry and wail.
Peng Fang thought that it was Huang Yao's fault that his eldest son became like this, and Huang Yao was raised by Huang Zhiqiu and Yang Xinghua, so Huang Zhiqiu and Yang Xinghua should be held responsible if anything happened to Huang Zhao.
Ultimately, it's all about money.
Originally, Shao Mo was going to give Huang Zhao some living expenses because of their relationship, but after Peng Fang's fuss, she didn't want to give it anymore.
Although Yun Yao was despicable and hateful for Huang Zhao to have fallen into this state, the tragedy was also caused by Peng Fang and Huang Jianguo's greed and their delusion of getting something for nothing.
Huang Zhao originally had a stable job and income. If he had not coveted the Yun family's wealth, Huang Zhao would be working in a shoe factory right now, and might even have a girlfriend.
Yang Xinghua felt soft-hearted. Seeing her grandson become like this, and with Peng Fang and his wife coming to make trouble every day, the old woman could not stand it anymore. Finally, with the witness of the village chief, she agreed to give their family a subsidy of 10 yuan and 5 kilograms of rice every month.
After getting benefits from Yang Xinghua, Peng Fang and his wife seemed to have tasted the sweetness and turned to make trouble for Huang Zhiqiu.
Huang Zhiqiu had been taking Chinese medicine for a while, and his health had just improved a little, but after Peng Fang and his wife made a fuss, his condition relapsed and he coughed badly all day long.
When Shao Mo learned about this, she was furious and flew directly to Anshi.
When Peng Fang and Huang Jianguo saw Shao Mo, they were so excited that they thought Shao Mo had come to give them money. However, the first words Shao Mo said stunned them.
"Uncle, aunt, you don't want Huang Wen to go to college anymore, right?"
Shao Mo sneered, "From today on, the longer you come to my mom's place to make trouble, I will find someone to go and bang a drum in Huang Wen's ear. My mom's bronchitis was cured with great difficulty, but it relapsed again because of you guys' quarrels. Since you don't let her have a good life, no one else can have a good life!"
Shao Mo's move was like strangling the lifeline of Peng Fang and his wife.
Huang Zhao was already ruined, and the couple was counting on their youngest son Huang Wen to turn things around. The college entrance examination was only two months away. If their youngest son's studies were affected and he failed to get into college, what would their family have? Peng Fang pointed at Shao Mo and cursed, "You Yun Mo, do you have a conscience? Ah, you..."
Shao Mo interrupted coldly, "Second aunt, if you curse me again, don't come to me if Huang Wen has no money to go to college in the future."
Peng Fang was like a chicken with its neck strangled, his face flushed but unable to utter a word.
Yes, even if the younger son is admitted to university, the various fees will be a huge expense. With their ability, they definitely cannot afford it, and they will have to rely on Huang Zhiqiu and Shao Mo, mother and daughter, for support.
Huang Jianguo was also very flexible and immediately apologized to the mother and daughter with a smile.
"Zhiqiu, Xiaomo, don't be angry. We feel so bad that Xiaozhao has become like this. He went out to beat people up, but came back like this. He doesn't even recognize me and his mother. He needs someone to take care of him when he eats, drinks, defecates and urinates. We really have no other choice. We can't even do farm work. How can we live like this..."
Huang Jianguo began to wipe away tears as he spoke.
Seeing her husband crying, Peng Fang also burst into tears, making such a noise that it hurt people's ears.
"Okay, uncle and aunt, stop crying. It's just money. Instead of asking others for it, it's better to earn it yourself."
"Earn it yourself? How do you earn it?"
When it comes to making money, the couple immediately quieted down and looked at Shao Mo eagerly.
"There are many ways to make money. Don't worry about this for now. The most important thing right now is to treat cousin Xiao Zhao's illness."
"Cure? Xiaomo, can Xiaozhao be cured when he's in this state?"
Shao Mo's words gave the couple a little hope.
"Of course it can be cured. Even if you can't recover to the way it was before, at least you will have no problem taking care of yourself."
Upon hearing that their eldest son could be saved, Peng Fang and his wife stopped making a fuss and immediately begged Shao Mo to save their son.
The initiative was in Shao Mo's hands. The two of them listened to whatever Shao Mo said and would never go west unless she told them to go east.
First, Shao Mo helped the couple rent a house in the city, and then bought them a second-hand cart so that they could sell breakfast and pancakes.
These two businesses have low investment costs but earn a lot of money.
Now that the couple has the ability to earn money, they will not be jealous of others every day and go to Yang Xinghua and Huang Zhiqiu to make trouble.
Secondly, Shao Mo used the Zhao family's connections to find a psychiatric hospital for Huang Zhao.
Huang Zhao lives in a mental hospital to treat his illness and recuperate, while the couple works outside to earn money to support their eldest son's treatment, which forms a virtuous circle.
Fearing that Huang Zhao's matter would affect Huang Wen's college entrance examination, Shao Mo specifically sought out Huang Wen for a talk before returning to Beijing.
