Xu Ningyan smiled sarcastically. If Xu Changfeng had such ruthless methods, how could he have just abandoned a three-year-old child to Xu Yinlai and his wife and ignored him for more than ten years?
Now you know you regret it?
What is this called?
Is this what you call knowing to shake your nose after getting snot in it? The baby died, and now you're producing milk?
Why didn't you do this sooner!
Moreover, when he retaliated against Xu Yinlai and his wife, he didn't forget to act generous, even taking away half of the money. How magnanimous!
If the original owner were still alive, knowing her background and Xu Changfeng's scheme, she would probably be so angry she would die.
He felt that he had suffered for more than ten years, working like a slave for the Xu family, while the Xu family still got a few thousand yuan for nothing!
They're absolutely disgusting!
Suddenly, my desire to buy soda vanished, so I simply turned around and walked back.
I wonder how Xu Yinlai's family is doing now? They've emptied their savings, and Shen Yue'e has lost her job. They're relying on Xu Yinlai and Xu Yewen, a temporary worker, to support the family. They're used to having plenty of money, and they're going to have a tough time getting through this difficult period.
Thinking about it that way, I felt happy again.
I've decided to treat myself to some roasted lamb chops tonight.
That night, because I drank iced pineapple beer with lamb chops, I woke up several times and almost missed work the next morning.
At this time, newlyweds usually have three days of wedding leave.
Three days later, Lin Hong came to work.
However, after only three days apart, Xu Ningyan felt that Lin Hong was different from before when she saw her again.
She used to be a carefree girl, but now she has become more delicate, with rosy cheeks and only some dark circles under her eyes.
Although Xu Ningyan's outward appearance is seventeen years old, her inner self is that of an adult, an adult who knows everything she should know.
Naturally, he knew that Lin Hong's condition was due to excessive sexual activity during their honeymoon.
Judging from Lin Hong's complexion and condition, she must be having a good time in her new marriage.
As expected, Lin Hong kept mentioning Zhou Zi'an in every sentence she spoke, her eyes sparkling as if they were twinkling stars, clearly showing her extreme happiness.
Xu Ningyan wanted to make a joke, but seeing Lin Hong's expression, he didn't bother to say anything.
However, her colleagues, who had been married for many years, didn't mind at all.
He immediately started teasing Lin Hong about her new marriage, making lewd jokes in his words.
This was still out of consideration for Xu Ningyan's presence; if Xu Ningyan weren't there, they would probably be even more unrestrained.
Lin Hong was still a new bride, and she was easily embarrassed. After hearing a few words, she felt both ashamed and annoyed.
They could only avoid those aunties and drag Xu Ningyan to the side to whisper to each other.
She first mentioned how busy she had been these past few days, and then she said that her in-laws seemed reasonable and didn't interfere much with them. As she said these words, Lin Hong's eyebrows and eyes were full of happy smiles.
Xu Ningyan was also happy for Lin Hong.
Somehow, the conversation turned to her wedding day makeup. She mentioned that even during her wedding leave these past two days, people have been coming to her asking if she could ask Xu Ningyan to do her makeup.
At first, they only asked for help, but when they saw that Lin Hong wouldn't budge on helping, some people offered to give her something or some money.
Lin Hong's meaning to Xu Ningyan was not that she should do makeup for money.
Instead, it was a reminder that she should never let someone use her against her for a small amount of money.
After all, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows if those people who say nice things now will turn around and report you if you actually give them money?
Now that Xu Ningyan is alone in the county town, the more cautious she is, the better.
She reminded Xu Ningyan after discussing it with Zhou Zi'an, since Gu Zhiyuan had entrusted Xu Ningyan to them before leaving.
Needless to say, Lin Hong truly considers Xu Ningyan her best friend and certainly doesn't want anything to happen to her.
Xu Ningyan has one good quality: he listens to advice when he should.
Knowing that Lin Hong and Zhou Zi'an were thinking of her, she immediately stated that she would never do makeup for money and would never let anyone find fault with her.
Lin Hong also mentioned that Zhou Zi'an would patrol the area near her residence around three or four o'clock every afternoon from now on, so that she would be aware of the situation and not be afraid.
Of course, the matter of Xu Yinlai's family was also mentioned.
Zhou Zian was from the Criminal Investigation Brigade. Although they were on their honeymoon, they were still living in the police station's dormitory, so they naturally overheard the conversation and knew more inside information than others.
It turned out that Xu Changfeng had put pressure on Xu Yinlai and his wife directly through the factory manager of the cotton mill, giving them two choices: either take back Shen Yue'e's job and compensate her with two thousand yuan.
Either Xu Yinlai and Shen Yue'e's jobs are taken back, leaving the whole family unemployed and forcing them to return to the countryside.
Xu Yinlai and his group ultimately chose the second option.
As for refusing to pay, she did indeed want to get away with it. It is said that Shen Yue'e threw a tantrum on the ground, saying that she had no money at home and that she could take her life instead of money.
Xu Changfeng didn't show up at all. The next day, Xu Yinlai was notified that he was temporarily suspended from his post and would be able to return to work once the money was paid off.
This forced Xu Yinlai and his wife to not only empty their savings, but also reportedly borrow money from everyone they knew.
The people they knew were their colleagues at the factory. If you weren't able to lend them a piece of land on a regular basis, they could scrape together ten or eight pieces if they really needed to.
But Xu Yinlai and his wife always ask for a hundred or two hundred. Who can afford that?
Even those families who could afford it knew that Xu Yinlai's family had offended Xu Changfeng. They knew that if they lent out the money, who knew if it would ever be returned? Wouldn't that be a complete waste? Therefore, none of them were willing to lend it.
In the end, Xu Yinlai's family reportedly exchanged all their slightly valuable possessions for money.
It took almost a year's salary to cover the deficit.
In other words, the Xu family has no savings now, and the whole family is living off Xu Yewen's temporary worker wages.
After saying that, Lin Hong couldn't help but remind her, "The Xu family has been driven to the brink. Xu Changfeng took the compensation and just left. My Zhou Zi'an asked me to remind you to be careful when you go out, especially at night. They might come after you if they're desperate. After all, you're a single, vulnerable woman. If pushed too far, they might actually hurt you for money! Please be careful—"
Whether it was Zhou Zi'an's jinx or his professional vigilance as a criminal investigator, he was right.
Xu Ningyan went out to run some errands that day and went straight home in the afternoon.
Before I even reached my own door, I saw two people squatting in front of my house, one on each side, and they looked somewhat familiar.
Before she could even recognize her, the two people who heard the noise looked up and saw Xu Ningyan, and immediately stood up.
Wow! It turns out to be Xu Yinlai's two sons, the brothers Xu Yewen and Xu Yewu.
The two brothers had unshaven beards and messy hair, and their clothes were wrinkled like pickled vegetables. Even before they got close, they could smell a sour stench from not having showered for days.
The smell made Xu Ningyan immediately stop his bicycle, push it back several steps, and use one hand to cover his nose as he looked the two brothers up and down.
Xu Yewu had a violent temper. Although he had been disciplined by Xu Ningyan before, this time, with the life and death of his family at stake, he threw all his fear of Xu Ningyan to the back of his mind. He rushed up to Xu Ningyan, grabbed the handlebars of her bicycle, and began to berate her: "Xu Siya, you heartless ingrate! If it weren't for our family taking you in, you would have frozen to death outside, carried off by wolves in the mountains! We've done you such a great favor, giving you your life, and you actually sent your family to harm us! You wicked devil—"
