After Qian Jindou was sentenced to death, his photo was shown on television and in newspapers during the publicity reports. Now, Qian Jindou has become a "celebrity" in Luojiagou.
The streets and alleys across the country have been paying attention to this case for a long time. Now that the verdict of the criminals has finally come, the law-abiding people are cheering.
Luojiagou, Qian Jindou's hometown, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Many nearby villagers came to ask their acquaintances in Luojiagou about the affairs of the Qian family, so much so that the Qian family was scolded by the villagers and the people in the surrounding villages to the point that they could not even raise their heads.
The Qian family's elderly couple sighed and grimaced at the thought of their second son being shot. The second son had been doing well outside these years and was generous in giving them living expenses.
They once regarded their second son as their pride, and vaguely felt that the second son might be doing something shameful, but they did not expect the matter to be so serious.
That day, the Qian family received an unfamiliar phone call. The old lady who answered the phone said, "Your son has been sentenced to death. Don't you feel aggrieved?"
When Mrs. Qian heard the words that her son had been sentenced to death, she felt very depressed.
Now someone called to specifically provoke her, making her so angry she yelled, "You bastard, are you deliberately making fun of our family? You're bullying an old lady like me, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
The person on the other end of the phone said calmly, "I'm not here to laugh at you, but to speak up for your son. He didn't have to die, but now he has to die for his wife. Don't you relatives feel aggrieved?"
Old Mrs. Qian frowned and asked, "You, what do you mean by that?"
The other party responded, "Think about how your son made his fortune. Zhan's family is the mastermind, and your son is just an employee at best. How come everyone else in the Zhan family is doing well, but your son is dying?"
Old Lady Qian said, "Then, won't Zhan Dayou also be sentenced to death?"
The other party sighed and said, "Old lady, you are a smart person, why are you confused now? He is the organizer and must die, but his daughter, son, and daughter-in-law are all alive and well, and only your son will die with him. How much benefit can your son, a small follower, get? His daughter and son have made a fortune..."
After being reminded by the other party, Mrs. Qian suddenly realized what was going on. She had been so sad these past few days, and she was heartbroken over the loss of the several hundred yuan her second son gave her every month, that she had forgotten about this matter.
No, she had to go talk to the Zhan family. Even if the second son couldn't come back alive, she had to get more money back. Her eldest son and grandson couldn't endure hardship and had no ability to make money, so she had to make careful plans for them.
After hanging up the phone, Old Mrs. Qian held a small meeting at home, saying that she would take her son and grandson to Jiangyuan City to settle accounts with the Zhan family.
When Qian Jincai and Qian Longbin, father and son, heard that they were going to the Zhan family to ask for money, they both became eager to do so.
Qian Jincai had experienced the unfortunate incident of being robbed at the train station last time, and he was still afraid of traveling far away. However, with his family accompanying him, he was not so afraid anymore.
As for Qian Longbin, he had just been imprisoned for intentional injury and had been well behaved for a few days. Now that he heard he was going to another city, he was quite eager to go.
He has never left the territory of Mafang City since he was a child.
Finally, the family decided that Mrs. Qian would take her son and grandson out, and Old Man Qian would stay at home. Qian Meijuan had to go to school and couldn't go either.
As for the eldest daughter-in-law Yu Min who has been missing for many days, the Qian family has now forgotten that there is such a person, and no one has suggested looking for her.
Even if they called the police and asked them to help look for her, it would be fine. But it was a pity that Yu Min had almost no presence in this family except for doing housework.
Soon, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren packed their simple luggage and set off. At this time, Zhan Tiehua was busy every day, working during the day and buying groceries at night.
Although Zhan Tingting and Zhang Ling can help with some housework, she can't let them go completely. She still has to do the laundry for the family and cook some complicated meals.
Zhan Baoku has never worked since he was a child. Now that he is in such a state of poverty, he doesn't even think about going out to find a job to earn some money. Instead, he directly asks Zhan Tiehua for money.
Zhan Tiehua wanted to persuade Zhan Baoku, saying that he had a daughter who needed milk powder to support, and that he should find ways to earn some money to make ends meet. However, every time the words were on the tip of her tongue, old lady Zhan would block them out.
Zhan Baoku, having seen his family's prosperity in the past, was not interested in jobs that paid only two or three hundred yuan a month. However, he had no education or special skills, so high-paying jobs were out of his reach.
So he stayed idle at home, occasionally playing with the children every day, and spending most of his time lying in bed.
Fortunately, Zhan Yinhua heard about what happened at her mother's side and generously remitted 10,000 yuan to Zhan Tiehua, solving his urgent problem.
As for Zhan Tingting and Zhang Ling returning to school, she has no time to care about it now. If nothing unexpected happens, they will have no chance to return to school.
Zhan Tingting was fine, at least she had graduated from elementary school. Zhang Ling, Zhan Tiehua's biological daughter, was only in the second grade. If she didn't go to school now, she would be illiterate when she graduated.
As a university student, she raised an illiterate daughter. I wonder if she ever thought about the irony of this. Perhaps she had forgotten that this was her own daughter. In her eyes, there were only two precious sons.
Although young Zhang Ling wanted to continue going to school, she had not yet realized the importance of going to school. She also knew that her biological parents would not care about her feelings at all, so she never even mentioned wanting to return to school.
What happened in Zhan Tiehua's home spread throughout the streets and alleys. Colleagues who knew some inside information naturally also knew that she was the relative of a human trafficker.
Although she still went to work as usual every day, she could clearly feel that the way her colleagues looked at her and their attitude towards her were obviously different.
She often saw her colleagues whispering to each other, but when they saw her coming, they all shut up.
There was also a colleague who had never gotten along with her before, who directly told her about the ugly things in her family in public without giving her any face, making her lose face.
Now, the pressure at home and the setbacks at work are driving Zhan Tiehua crazy. Little does she know, even more embarrassing troubles are waiting for her.
