Jiang Xiaoli calmly said, "The fact that she was able to run to the rooftop and jump shows that she was not controlled by her family or this man."
She has many choices. Whether she goes to the police station to report the case or leaves Xijing for another city, she has the opportunity to get rid of her awful relatives and this man.
But she chose the most extreme way; if she had succeeded in committing suicide, she would have lost her young life. Her uncle's family wouldn't have been saddened by her loss. The man would have forgotten her after a while, falling for other girls, but she had paid with her life.
She didn't succeed in committing suicide, but she's now crippled in one leg. That's a lifelong disability. Xiaoyu, you said she had the courage to give up on life, so why didn't she have the courage to fight her way out? In my opinion, she's a bit cowardly.
Xiao Muyu seemed to have a new way of thinking, "So that's how it can be done."
Jiang Xiaoli replied, "Xiaoyu, we are now in a brand new era, and countless possibilities await us in the future. Therefore, the best course of action is to find ways to solve problems. The most foolish thing to do is to try to escape from problems or even commit suicide."
Xiao Muyu nodded repeatedly, "Xiao Li, you're absolutely right!"
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly shivered; she felt like her toes were about to freeze off.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and ride our bikes home, I'm freezing."
Xiao Muyu smiled sheepishly, "Okay, okay, let's go home."
As soon as Jiang Xiaoli got home, she shouted, "Mom, is there any hot water? I need hot water! I'm freezing!"
Li Guizhi poured her a glass of warm water. "The weather is getting colder and colder. I think you and Xiaoyu shouldn't ride your bikes to and from school anymore. You should take a taxi to school, or have your Uncle Xiao pick you up and drop you off."
Jiang Xiaoli took a sip of hot water and rubbed her ears with her hands, which had been warmed by the water cup.
"Okay, okay, I give in. It's so cold outside, riding a bike just feels like the wind is blowing right into my mouth!"
Li Guizhi glanced at her sideways, "Why do you talk so much all day? You even have to chat with Xiaoyu while riding your bike. Can't you talk when you get home? You wait here, I'll go make you a packet of Banlangen (a traditional Chinese medicine), be careful not to catch a cold!"
Jiang Xiaoli opened her mouth as she watched her mother rush into the kitchen, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
After drinking her mother's lovingly prepared Banlangen granules, she took another cup and knocked on Xiao Muyu's door.
"This is Banlangen (Isatis root), drink it quickly, or you'll catch a cold."
Xiao Muyu's face was flushed. "Xiao Li, I shouldn't have kept you chatting on the way."
She waved her hand dismissively, "Is this the first day you've known I'm such a kind person? I'm happy to answer your questions."
Xiao Jincheng was intrigued by their conversation and asked, "What could make you two chat in the cold wind?"
Jiang Xiaoli quickly recounted Xiao Muyu's story and also shared her own thoughts.
Xu Feng came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. "This is what happened at Xiaoyu's junior high school last year. I've heard about it too. It's such a pity about that girl."
Xiao Jincheng looked serious. He held his daughter's hand and sat her down at the dining table. "Xiaoyu, Xiaolizi is right. Your father and I trust you completely. We will always stand behind you unconditionally. This kind of thing will not happen to you."
But if you encounter other problems in the future that you can't solve on your own, you must tell me and your mom as soon as possible. If you don't want to tell us, you should at least talk to Xiaolizi.
No matter how big the problem is, you can't let yourself get stuck in a dead end, do you understand? You're our precious child. If you're gone, your mother and I wouldn't want to live anymore!
Xiao Muyu nodded earnestly and promised, "Mom and Dad, I understand. I definitely won't be that foolish. Besides, there's Xiaoli!"
Jiang Xiaoli sat down next to him and said with a grin, "Yes, Uncle Xiao, don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen to us. If Xiaoyu shows any signs of doing that, I'll give her a beating to wake her up."
"Hahaha!" Xiao Jincheng laughed loudly, "Little Pear, I believe in you! You and Xiaoyu must help each other."
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow at Xiao Muyu, then gave Xiao Jincheng an OK sign, "No problem!"
Seeing that her daughter hadn't come home for a long time after delivering a dose of Banlangen granules, Li Guizhi also came to knock on the door, saying, "You've been home from school for so long, aren't you hungry? Come home and eat!"
She then stood up, saying, "Coming, coming."
When they got home, Li Guizhi was curious about what they were talking about, and Jiang Xiaoli repeated the story again.
Li Guizhi was very satisfied with her daughter's problem-solving approach, and she specially picked up a chicken leg and put it in her daughter's bowl.
"My daughter is so smart! She remembers that no matter what, protecting herself and taking care of her body is the most important thing."
"Mmm-hmm-hmm." Jiang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly while gnawing on a chicken leg.
On Sunday morning, Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia arrived at the food factory together.
I haven't been to the factory for almost a month, and the number of workers in the food factory has increased significantly.
They went together to the large sales office. The number of sales staff had increased significantly, and Wei Dong allocated the two adjacent rooms to the sales department as well.
Jiang Xiaoli looked through office after office, her heart pounding with delight at the sales rankings. Their sales now covered provinces including within Hunan, Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, and Hunan.
Last month's sales commissions were actually paid to each salesperson, which greatly increased their work enthusiasm this month. In just over ten days, they completed two-thirds of last month's sales targets.
Jiang Xiaoli gave Dafu a big thumbs up, "Brother Dafu, with you leading the sales department, I can really just lie at home and count money!"
Dafu had been in sales for so long that he was already quite thick-skinned, but he still blushed when she praised him.
“Little Pear, everyone’s not working for my sake, they’re working so hard because of the high commission you’re giving them. I can’t possibly take credit for that.”
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "No matter what position you're in, the role of a leader is huge. Brother Dafu, you don't need to be modest!"
After reviewing the sales figures, Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia went to Wei Dong's office. "Uncle Wei, it's been a long time!"
Wei Dong smiled and stood up to pour them both a cup of tea. "It's been a long time, hasn't it! How was your trip with Jincheng?"
"It's good, it's good."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Uncle Wei, I mentioned wanting to acquire a new factory. What do you think of your plans?"
Wei Dong took a document from the filing cabinet behind him. "Knowing you were coming to the factory today, I was just about to talk to you about this. These are some new factories I found. Take a look."
