When Xiaoying's mother returned, no one was home. She learned from the neighbors' whispers that they had gone to the hospital, and despite her embarrassment and pain, she also went to the hospital.
Xiaoying's relatives also found out about this, and they rushed to the hospital in a fit of rage. They felt that having such relatives was disgusting and a disgrace to them. They were all beaten up by Xiaoying's father at the hospital.
"Today I will teach you a lesson in place of your dead father!"
Xiaoying's father was slapped hard and kicked several times by his relatives and elders. Finally, under everyone's pressure, he reluctantly gave up his plan and stopped bothering Yu Jiu and the others at the school.
But it was too late. They had lost face so badly, their neighbors and relatives were pointing fingers at them, they had lost their jobs, and their former colleagues and bosses looked down on them. Now they didn't even know where to find work.
The family was so poor they couldn't even afford to eat. It was only then that Xiaoying's father realized he was scared and wanted to go back to the factory to plead for them not to be fired.
However, there was no room for maneuver anymore; the leaders found it too troublesome to even see him.
Although Xiaoying was young, she knew that her parents had done something wrong. She refused to go to school anymore, feeling ashamed and afraid of being ridiculed by her classmates. She also didn't dare to face Yuanyuan.
In the end, Xiaoying's mother had no choice but to transfer her to another school, and the matter finally came to an end.
For Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang, it was just a matter of being swarmed by flies for a few days, but to them, it was like being swatted half to death by flies, and surviving was many times more difficult than before.
It was only then that Xiaoying's mother regretted it. She should have stopped Xiaoying's father at all costs. Xiaoying's father also regretted it. He should have just asked for more money to settle things instead of making such a big fuss. Now he had nothing to show for it. He had no money, and he had lost face and his job!
Yuanyuan really didn't expect that playing with jump rope would cause such a big problem. He was bothered for almost half a month and caused his parents a lot of trouble. He felt very guilty, so he secretly used his pocket money to buy gifts for Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I won't be naughty anymore."
He bought Xu Zijiang an imported fountain pen and Yu Jiu a beautiful gold bracelet.
He and An'an picked them out together, but Yuanyuan paid for them all, and he spent almost all of his saved allowance.
Yu Jiu wasn't angry at all because he was so sensible. In the end, it wasn't Yuan Yuan's fault. It was just that they happened to run into someone who was mentally unstable, who would act like a scoundrel and extort money.
"It's okay, don't worry about it. It's all been resolved. From now on, just be a happy elementary school student."
"But we should celebrate the absence of those annoying flies. Come on, I'll take you to the newly opened amusement park. They say they have a pirate ship, which is supposed to be quite fun."
Yu Jiu put on the gold bracelet Yuan Yuan had bought for her and happily admired it; it was indeed very beautiful. She was even happier and immediately wanted to take the two children out to play. An An nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Great! Let's go now!"
Yuanyuan and An'an were very happy that they didn't have to do homework and had plenty of time to play. The family immediately went out to play and had a great time.
Gouzi and Zhang Yan have been quite busy lately because Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang have returned. Yuanyuan and An'an don't need their care, so they haven't been able to visit them these past few days. As a result, they missed this opportunity, and Zhang Yan was furious when she found out.
"How could you not tell us about something this big!"
"That's right, Captain, you're being too polite. I'm the best at dealing with these shameless people. Why don't you let me go over and threaten them, smash all their things in their house, and see if they dare to cause trouble again!"
The dog angrily remarked, "That's shameless! I've never met such a brazen person before." It was fortunate that the female classmate had already transferred schools; otherwise, she would have been drowned in the gossip and strange looks from her classmates.
Although the child is innocent, the bad things her parents did will always affect her.
“He has elderly relatives at home. At first, we didn’t want to do this, fearing it would frighten them into something bad. But we couldn’t take it anymore, so we came up with a dirty trick: to publicize what they had done.”
I heard that his elderly relative was so angry that he was hospitalized. Moreover, we were in the wrong from the beginning, and it was only right that we talked to them nicely. However, they were too unreasonable. We had already reached an agreement, paid the money, and put our fingerprints on the document, but they still came to cause trouble.
"They even made such outrageous demands. I really don't know what they were thinking. They only know we're rich, don't they know that rich people are ruthless? If it were anyone else, they would have broken his legs long ago, and wouldn't have had the time to jump around here."
Yu Jiu shook her head. Things had escalated to this point, and there was really no way to continue. They deserved to lose their jobs; it wasn't Yu Jiu or Xu Zi who asked the boss to fire them. It was entirely their own actions that caused the negative impact and led to their job loss.
If she were their leader, she wouldn't want to hire such an employee either. It's not like they can't find other workers; there's no need to use someone with such questionable character, lest they turn around and bite them one day.
"Let's not talk about them anymore. Is Auntie feeling better lately?"
They didn't tell Zhang Yan and Gouzi about this, and specifically told Gou Dan and Gou Zaizi not to talk about it when they got back, because Gouzi's mother hadn't been feeling well lately and had gone to the hospital for a checkup.
The results weren't good either; a small tumor had appeared, requiring hospitalization for observation. It might need to be removed, and only after that will they know if it's benign or malignant. My husband's health isn't very good either; I don't know why, but he's been having back pain lately.
They both ended up in the hospital, possibly due to a herniated disc. Zhang Yan and Gouzi were very busy.
As people get older, they tend to develop various health problems. There's nothing they can do about it. Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang have been to the hospital twice, but they haven't been able to visit Xiaoying's parents these past few days because they've been dealing with their affairs.
"It's much better now. The medication has brought it under control, so surgery isn't necessary. We can observe it for another two years as long as we have regular checkups. The doctor said the tumor is very likely benign, not malignant, which is good news."
Zhang Yan said thankfully that she got along very well with Gouzi's parents and treated them as her own, so she was very worried when they got sick, but thankfully they were alright now.
"My dad is fine too. He has a slight disc herniation in his lumbar spine, but it will get better after a period of rest. Although it can't be cured, as long as he doesn't do heavy work and gets plenty of rest, he'll be fine."
The dog chimed in.
With both elderly people safe and sound, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang could finally relax.
"After we finish eating, I'll take Yuanyuan, An'an, and the others to the hospital to visit Uncle and Aunt."
