Large tears streamed down Hua Xiu Ning's face as she obediently nodded.
"I will never do it again, brother. Please don't hang me up and beat me to death. I'm scared."
His younger sister didn't yet have a clear understanding of death. Seeing her cry from fright, Qin Jianqiang looked at Boss Gong with some reproach.
"Boss, can you not be so fierce?"
The eldest son couldn't help but pat his younger sister's head.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Mom loves us so much, she won't really beat us to death."
Of course, Gong Laoda knew that if his mother found out that it was his sister's plants that had harmed those bad boys, his mother wouldn't beat his sister to death, but she would definitely get a lesson.
He simply wanted to teach his sister how to hide her abilities so that she wouldn't suffer a beating if the adults found out, so he deliberately exaggerated the consequences.
Then, the eldest son of the Gong family nodded and said, "Daddy's back, get ready."
No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps sounded outside the wardrobe.
A few seconds later, the wardrobe door opened, and Gong Yi, tall and imposing, stood outside. Looking at the three children quietly reading inside, he asked in confusion,
"What are you three doing hiding in here? Why are you crawling into the closet?"
With a stern, cold face, the eldest son said, "We are studying hard and making progress every day, Dad."
He waved the math workbook he was holding; he had already worked through it, and only the last page remained.
Gong Yi glanced at the words "[Little X Mental Arithmetic Grade 3]" written on the calculation problem, and then he glanced at the book in his sister's hand.
She was holding a coloring book called Secret Garden.
Looking at Qin Jianqiang again, he was holding a reading comprehension book, but he was holding it upside down.
Gong Yi didn't think that much about it; what bad intentions could a child possibly have?
"Get out of here right now. If you want to study, find a proper place to study properly. What are you doing hiding in the closet?"
Gong Yi chased the three children out of the wardrobe, then looked inside but found nothing unusual.
When her younger sister reached the door, she suddenly couldn't help but turn around, open her arms to her father, and cry her heart out.
"Daddy, don't hurt my flowers, don't cut them all down, Daddy, they are all my good friends, please don't, Daddy."
Gong Yi picked up Hua Xiu Ning with heartache, "Your mother said that all these flowers and plants are dangerous. We have so many flowers and plants in our house. One night when we fall asleep, we might become their nutrients."
"They won't. They're all very well-behaved. They'll do whatever I tell them to do. They promise they won't use us as food."
Hua Xiu Ning spoke earnestly, her big eyes looking pitifully at her father.
Compared to her mother, she was better at dealing with her father. Her mother would ignore her pleas, but as long as she cried in front of her father and wailed pitifully, Hua Xiu Ning was sure she could get everything she wanted.
As expected, under her tearful onslaught, Gong Yi nodded with great difficulty.
"Then I'll go talk to your mom. Okay, okay, stop crying. Look at your little face, all red from crying..."
Gong Yi, whose heart is as hard as iron, has only one weakness: he is the toughest man who can't bear his daughter's tears. He cries whenever his little girl cries.
Hua Mi's group has arrived at Qin Zhen's location, which is the city gate of Xiangcheng.
The children who had been organized and were waiting to leave the city gathered inside, while the parents outside the city were arguing and shouting around Shi Caixia.
"Why can you open schools whenever you want, and then close them whenever you want? We have to fight mutant monsters and zombies outside every day while taking care of our children. How tired are we?"
"You can't be this irresponsible in how you operate within the Xiangcheng base. How are we supposed to live now?"
"The children are so young, are you really going to let them suffer with us outside? You have no heart at all."
Several other parents, clearly part of a group, were blocking Qin Zhen's way, demanding an explanation.
“My child got into your school without any problems, and now you’re telling me that my child is injured, and that it was injured by a mutated plant? Why are the other children fine? Why is it only my child who got injured?”
"Those parents all know each other."
As Hua Mi walked over, Yang Honglin, who was maintaining order, quietly said to her...
“Something’s not right. Their question is exactly what I’m asking: why didn’t the other kids have this problem, but only the kids in their group had it?”
“They deserved it if their child got into trouble.”
Chi Chuan walked over angrily, holding a laptop. He showed Hua Mi the school's surveillance footage.
“I originally wanted to find out what was going on at the school, but I ended up finding out that these kids were bullying my sister.”
Hua Mi's eyes sharpened, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She picked up her laptop and looked at the surveillance video on it.
Sure enough, before these children got hurt, they pushed Hua Xiu Ning's head and pulled her hair, with very malicious smiles on their faces.
"hateful!"
Hua Mi immediately put on a stern face and said angrily,
"Throw those kids out of Xiangcheng and never let them come back."
Although she had told her brother to let Hua Xiu Ning face and resolve any issues on her own, what mother could bear to watch someone else's child bully her daughter?
Besides, Xiangcheng is still providing free treatment to those children, who are eating her food, drinking her drinks, and using her things, yet they still dare to bully her daughter. What's the point of Hua Mi providing treatment? The fact that she didn't seek justice from those parents is all due to Hua Mi's kindness.
Soon, the commotion at the gate of Xiangcheng grew even louder. The children, sitting in wheelchairs, were pushed out of the Xiangcheng base. They were pale-faced and burst into tears when they saw their parents.
The parents sensed something was wrong and surrounded Tu Lijia, questioning her.
"Hey, what's going on here? Our child is injured like this, why are you pushing our child out like this?"
“Although these children are in wheelchairs, they are still children after all. If they are injured in Xiangcheng, you have to take responsibility for their medical treatment. Not only that, you also have to let us into Xiangcheng to take care of our children.”
Their idea was particularly brilliant; they planned to cause a ruckus like before the apocalypse.
Since things have already come to this, we should extort a hefty sum from Xiangcheng, and ideally, get Xiangcheng to grant them the right to reside in Xiangcheng.
After all, their child paid such a high price for this, and Xiangcheng should offer this small consolation.
