Heaven must have been unable to bear it any longer, which is why it allowed her to be reborn and learn the truth.
Liu Zi gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and stared fiercely at the two people entangled in the shadows.
A gust of cold wind swept by, and Su Yao felt a chill on the back of her neck. She turned around alertly and glanced back, only to see the branches of the tree swaying wildly in the wind.
"Okay, I'm a little cold, let's go back quickly!"
"That woman's not home these days, I'll come over and warm you up." Zhao Qian chuckled lewdly again.
"Hate!"
Zhao Qian put his arm around Su Yao's shoulder, and the two walked out intimately from behind the building.
Liu Zi's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the departing figures of the two people, secretly vowing that she would make those who harmed her daughter pay for it.
Finally, she returned home dejectedly. She was too listless to respond to Xu Mei's concern and simply said she was tired before going to her room.
Zhao Qi, the daughter, is staying with her mother, Xu Mei, tonight. Liu Zi is the only person in the house at the moment.
She wept silently. She felt like a complete failure as a mother, not even knowing that her own child had been switched.
She now wishes she could kill the Zhao family mother and son!
But that won't work!
Her eldest daughter was still missing, and she needed to prevent the mother and son from doing anything rash in a desperate situation. Her daughter was her top priority right now.
That night, Liu Zi didn't sleep a wink; the bedside lamp in her bedroom stayed on all night.
The next day, as soon as it was light, Liu Zi got ready, went to the kitchen to make a sumptuous breakfast, and then asked her parents for money at the dinner table.
Liu Daqiang and Xu Mei exchanged a glance, and then Xu Mei spoke first.
"Zizi, did something happen?"
"Mom and Dad, I'm having a falling out with Zhao Qian right now, so I can't ask him for money. Yesterday, my college classmate called me and said her father is seriously ill and she wants to borrow some money from me urgently."
Liu Zi silently apologized to her parents in her heart, admitting that she had lied to them.
"Was it because your mother-in-law disagreed with lending you money that you started arguing with her?"
Xu Mei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked.
Liu Zi didn't speak, but lowered her head in acquiescence.
We can't let this opportunity to sow discord between that mother and child slip by.
Liu Daqiang and Xu Mei couldn't say anything harsh, but they looked down on Liu Zi's mother-in-law. Zhao Qian was earning quite a bit now, so why was she still so stingy?
"How much did your classmate borrow?" Liu Daqiang asked at this moment.
"fifty thousand!"
Liu Zi had already thought it through last night. Both her parents were employed and had decent salaries, so they didn't usually have many expenses.
Although this amount of money is considerable, it shouldn't have a significant impact on their lives.
With this 50,000 yuan, she could get things started immediately.
After all, it was 1998, and the average salary was only 1,000 yuan. This 50,000 yuan could buy a house in the rural suburbs of Beijing.
Of course, she will pay her parents back as soon as she has settled her royalties.
Liu Daqiang thought for a moment and nodded.
Liu Zi was admitted to a prestigious university in Beijing. Her classmates have all been assigned formal jobs and would never do something like owing money and not paying it back.
"Okay, your mom and I will go to the bank to withdraw the money in a bit. Transfer it to your classmate as soon as possible!"
Thank you, Mom and Dad!
Liu Zi was surprised that they were persuaded so easily and immediately expressed her gratitude.
After giving the money to Liu Zi, Xu Mei thoughtfully took Zhao Qi with her, allowing Liu Zi to leave with peace of mind.
Subsequently, Liu Zi secretly took her mother's ID card, went to a bank far from home, opened an account in her mother's name, and deposited 45,000 yuan into it.
Only then did she feel relieved and head to the bus station to catch a bus to Lianzhou.
Zhao Qian's behavior last night had already alerted her. If he continued to live with his parents, there was no guarantee that a child abduction might occur.
Furthermore, since she currently has no formal job, if she files for divorce, she might not even be able to retain custody of Zhao Qi.
She had to prepare in advance, first hiding with her daughter, and then slowly investigating the whole series of events.
Zhao Qian certainly never imagined that she, a native of Beijing, would be willing to move to the countryside.
Neither of them had any relatives or friends in the county, so they were able to cleverly avoid everyone and no one could find her.
Besides, she had a good friend in her previous life who should be living in Lian County now.
Judging by the timeline, the CEO of a hotel chain in later generations was probably still running a family-run inn at this time.
Liu Zi successfully bought a ticket and excitedly boarded the bus, finding a seat in the last row.
This afternoon's train was packed with people returning home from Beijing.
The weather in September was already a bit cool, but the train was still a bit stuffy because of the crowd.
But none of this could dampen their joy. They excitedly discussed the great finds they had just made, and the bus's luggage racks were overflowing with bags and packages.
Because of her years of writing, Liu Zi developed a habit of listening to gossip.
Her favorite thing to do is go to the park and listen to the elderly chat. Sometimes, a flash of inspiration can bring her a whole new idea.
During this bus ride, Liu Zi discovered that buses are also a hub for gossip!
I overheard this old lady saying her daughter-in-law was lazy, and I heard that young woman complaining about her stingy mother-in-law.
Liu Zi listened with great enjoyment!
These are all excellent materials. I must write them down in my notebook when I get back; they will surely become another masterpiece in the future.
Liu Zi got off the bus at a place called Songzhuang. The national highway here leads to Sanjiang, a necessary route to the Northeast, and the village is located right next to the road.
As the bus started moving away, it kicked up dust from the roadside. Liu Zi, caught off guard, swallowed a mouthful of sand.
She spat twice. At this time, the environmental sanitation in the suburbs of Beijing was far inferior to that of later generations, and it was not even as good as a fifth or sixth-tier county town.
Looking around, Liu Zi walked toward a group of elderly people sitting by the roadside chatting.
"Auntie, do you know where Song Yan lives?" Liu Zi asked politely.
Whose house is it?
The elderly men seemed to be hard of hearing and didn't hear Liu Zi's question clearly, but that didn't stop them from looking her up and down.
"The Song Yan family!"
Liu Zi raised her voice, wondering how they had been chatting just now.
"Oh, her house is to the east, you'll definitely see it then." Finally, an old man heard Liu Zi's question clearly and pointed her in a direction.
Liu Zi was somewhat helpless; he hadn't even clearly stated which house it was on the east side.
Forget it, let's try walking east. If it doesn't work, we'll ask again!
"thank you!"
Liu Zi simply thanked him, slung her bag over her shoulder, and strode eastward.
No wonder the old man said she could see!
Liu Zi was standing in front of a two-story brick-and-mortar building. A large sign on the roof read "Yan Yan Hotel" in pink paint.
Liu Zi almost burst out laughing. All she could think about was whether, twenty years later, Song Yan would pay her to buy back this embarrassing story if she took a picture of it.
The answer is yes!
