After Ding Jing was sentenced, Lu Jiaxin went to see Dr. He again. This time, after taking her pulse, Dr. He said that she had recovered.

The doctor smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with your body. Just pay attention to your diet and get enough rest."

Lu Jiaxin felt relieved, but she was still prepared in case she wanted to take some more medicine to consolidate her effect.

Doctor He shook his head and said, "Medicine is three-quarters toxic. There is no need to take medicine now that your body is well. I will prescribe a food tonic for you, just follow it."

After leaving the pharmacy, Lu Jiaxin felt relaxed. When he got home, he called Lu Jiaguang and asked him to help buy three sleeper tickets. There were fewer trains now, and sleeper tickets were hard to buy. Even if you queued for half a day, you might not be able to buy one.

Lu Jiaguang paused and asked, "Which day did you buy it?"

Lu Jiaxin said, "The day after tomorrow. I have dealt with everything here, and it is time to go over and finalize the school."

Ten minutes later, Lu Jiaguang called back and said he had bought her three sleeper tickets for the day after tomorrow. Lu Jiaxin was going to Hong Kong this time and would not be back for a short time. He had to go to a meeting this afternoon and it would probably be very late, so he planned to ask his wife to take the children to Guangming Road for a gathering tomorrow.

After buying the ticket, Lu Jiaxin called Su Heming and asked, "I'm going to take the train the day after tomorrow. Have you found out about the one I asked you to do?"

At this age, the most important thing is to learn something. Setting up a breakfast stall is not a long-term solution. Xue Mao likes cooking, so I want him to learn how to cook.

Su Heming smiled and said, "I found a master chef, but he wants to meet me first. If he is good at this business, he will take me."

If you're not cut out for this, then don't waste everyone's time.

Su Heming, a chatterbox, talked to Lu Jiaxin for more than half an hour and was unwilling to hang up the phone. He said they wanted to chat for a while, which left Lu Jiaxin speechless.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Lu Jiaxin hung up the phone on the pretext of packing up her things. She shook her head, not understanding why Su Heming was talking so much.

Qian Xiaoxiao knocked on the door outside and came in and said, "Sister Xin, Sister Xin, there's someone outside claiming to be your classmate, but she wouldn't tell me her name when I asked her."

She was not so good-tempered, and when she saw that the other party didn't say anything, she was ready to close the door. She originally boasted that she was strong and was not afraid of someone coming to her house to cause trouble, but after the four grandparents and grandchildren of the Ding family broke in, she didn't dare to be arrogant and would close the door at home.

"Did you tell me your name?"

Qian Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "She said her name is Kang Tongtong and she used to be your deskmate. But if she is your classmate, why didn't she tell her her name at the beginning? Sister Xin, I think there is something wrong with her."

Lu Jiaxin never thought that she would come to see her, and found it interesting: "Indeed, she was my deskmate in high school and also my best friend."

"So you guys had a fight?"

Lu Jiaxin didn't explain. She would know what was going on when the two of them talked, so she didn't waste her breath. When she walked out, she saw Kang Tongtong, who looked thin. "What are you doing here?"

Kang Tongtong said guiltily: "Jia Xin, I'm sorry."

Lu Jiaxin said indifferently: "If you really feel sorry, I will go to the police to turn myself in instead of coming here to say sorry."

Kang Tongtong said with red eyes: "I'm sorry, Jiaxin, I'm really sorry. I really had no choice at the time. That woman had something on my dad. If I didn't do what she said, my dad would be arrested and put in jail. If anything happened to my dad, our family would be finished."

"So you are helping the evil?"

Kang Tongtong cried and said, "That person said he just wanted to teach you a lesson and would arrange for someone to follow you to protect your safety. I, I really had no choice but to agree."

Kang's father had been sentenced to 25 years in prison because of the large amount of embezzlement. When word got out that Ding Jing was the whistleblower, Kang Tongtong knew it was her doing without anyone telling her.

After Kang's father was arrested, Kang Tongtong found out that her father not only embezzled and accepted bribes, but also kept a mistress and had illegitimate children. This was unacceptable to her.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Jia Xin, after I heard that you were missing and might have been kidnapped by human traffickers, I had nightmares all night and dared not close my eyes. It was not until you came back that I felt like I was alive again."

Lu Jiaxin asked with interest: "Then what?"

Kang Tongtong lowered her head and said, "Jia Xin, I came here this time just to say sorry to you. Jia Xin, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Lu Jiaxin said sharply: "That person said he would send someone to secretly protect me. You knew it was impossible, but you still did it. Since you did it, why bother pretending to say how painful and sad you are?"

"Jia Xin, I know you won't forgive me, and I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness..."

Lu Jiaxin interrupted her with disdain: "You know I won't forgive you, but you're afraid that I'll retaliate against you, so you came here. God is watching what you do, and you'll be punished without me having to do anything."

Kang Tongtong staggered away.

Qian Xiaoxiao saw her standing still in the distance and thought she was sad, so she comforted her: "Sister Xin, it's okay, you will meet friends who are sincere to you in the future."

Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment and said, "I won't take action against her, but my brother has already spread the news of what she did. Knowing her true nature, no one dares to make close friends with her."

And this was Kang Tongtong's punishment. Her original body was gone, and all she could do was to make those who had hurt her pay the price.

Because her mood was affected, Lu Jiaxin did not go into the house to read. She asked, "Xiaoxiao, what is your dream?"

Qian Xiaoxiao said without thinking: "My dream is to have enough food and clothes. It would be even better if I could have meat every meal."

Now the country is in a stage of poverty and many people cannot eat enough. Having enough food and warm clothes is the wish of many people. Qian Xiaoxiao has such a big appetite, so she must have been hungry a lot in the past. Lu Jiaxin smiled and asked: "This is not difficult. As long as you keep following me, I will make sure you can eat meat every meal. By the way, how are your parents now? I mean your current mother."

Qian Xiaoxiao said cheerfully, "Last time I sent money back home, my mother scolded me when she answered the phone, saying that she and my father have hands and feet and can support the family, and asked me to save all the money as her dowry."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Your mother is planning this for you."

Qian Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I know, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. But I won't get married, so I'll disappoint her."

Lu Jiaxin asked in confusion: "Why don't you get married?"

Qian Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "My mother and the villagers always told me to eat less, saying that I have such a big appetite and will be disliked by my husband's family in the future. If I will be disliked if I eat more, why should I get married? I am just asking for trouble!"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Only useless men would complain that their wives eat too much. You should find someone who can make money and love his wife."

Qian Xiaoxiao was still not happy: "When I have a child in the future, all the good things have to be given priority to the child. Why? Other people's business is none of my business, but I won't do it anyway."

Lu Jiaxin felt that she was quite insightful.
