Chapter 193 Zhou Ye asked me to pick you up!
Zhao Erdan looked at his parents, a resolute glint in his eyes.
Say to your supervisor, "Okay, we won't make things difficult for you. We'll move it today! Right now!"
A look of surprise flashed across the leader's eyes. He had been given instructions from above, and there was really nothing he could do about it. However, he had high hopes for Zhao Erdan; he was reliable, hardworking, and very smart.
But he doesn't have the final say!
He sighed and said, "Okay, then you can move out! I'll stay here and hand over the house!"
"Erdan..."
Xie Hongli pulled Zhao Erdan back, her eyes filled with grievance...
Zhao Erdan said softly, "Hongli, take the child back to the house and pack your clothes. I'll go find an oxcart!"
"good!"
"Go in!"
Xie Hongli and the children went inside. Zhao Erdan looked at his parents again and said, "Mom and Dad, let's move now. You've achieved your goal!"
"It's time to go back!"
Zhao's mother cried and said, "Child, that's not what I meant. I want to make up with you! Everything before was a misunderstanding!"
Can you come home?
This place is no longer safe to stay in. Where can you stay?
"I'm your mother, how could I really ignore you?"
For the first time, Zhao Erdan felt that his mother was really hypocritical! She had done all sorts of bad things, but she insisted on being a good person!
Oh……
"Yes, Erdan, you're unemployed now. What are you going to do? Where can you move to?"
"Yes, you should go home with your mother. At least you'll have a place to stay. It's not just about you, but also about the children!"
Zhao's mother nodded and said gently, "That's right, Erdan. Although you don't have a job now, you've always been exceptionally smart since you were little!"
Mom believes in you, and you'll definitely find a better job in the future!
"Now you need to go home with Mom! Don't worry, Mom won't mind!"
Zhao Erdan let out a cold laugh...
They're still putting on an act!
"Mom and Dad, you should go back. We have a place to stay!"
With that, he went to find a car!
Zhao's father's face instantly turned ugly: "This brat is as stubborn as ever, he's a real stubborn fool!"
They have nowhere to live, yet they refuse to compromise!
I want to see how long his meager salary of a dozen yuan can last!
Mr. Zhao was in a bad mood. They had just caused their youngest son to lose his job, and now they had lost their own too!
They said it was due to illness that I was forced to retire!
Do you think you don't know if you're sick or not?
It's all because of this youngest son! If he were obedient, none of this would have happened.
Why……
"Oh dear, Uncle Zhao, you are all parents, how can you hold a grudge against your child?"
Erdan is really good!
We've all seen how he's treated your grandsons all these years! He can't even feed his own children properly, yet he still feeds your two grandsons meat!
What a wonderful uncle!
"Stop being so harsh with the child! Can't you talk things out calmly?"
"Yes, and even as a younger uncle, he's doing a pretty good job! A salary of just over ten yuan is enough to support so many children!"
Nobody can handle that!
You parents should be more understanding!
"Is that not allowed?"
"Yes, we've seen how hard that couple has worked all these years! When there was no food, even the adults couldn't bear to eat!"
You tell me, you parents have never given us a single pound of grain as a subsidy!
Don't cause trouble for the children!
"Erdan and his wife are really being stubborn. As parents, why don't you just lower your heads and let your child have nowhere to live?"
The weather is getting colder and colder, what are we going to do with the children?
Zhao's father and mother rolled their eyes at each other!
"What's it to you! I haven't even said anything to you yet. We know you're on Erdan and Hongli's side!"
Are you telling us to bow down now?
On what grounds?
There's no reason for elders to bow down!
I want to see if they can starve to death without their parents' help!
"Hey...you guys..."
"Alright, alright, we've just been meddling in other people's business!"
Xie Hongli tidied up the house. Actually, there weren't many clothes, and the furniture was all what the family already had!
Only the small table was bought later!
Organize the bedding, roll it up in a sheet, and tie it securely!
If you put them all together, it should only take two truckloads to haul them all away!
Little Stone, being a bit older, held his younger sister's hand and remained silent until Xie Hongli finished tidying up. Then, he walked up to his mother and whispered, "Mom, do we have nowhere to stay?"
Xie Hongli then realized the child's worry and fear!
With a smile, she comforted him, "Don't be afraid, child. Mom and Dad have found a house. Don't worry!"
We'll move there in a little while!
Okay?
"Really? Grandma said we're going to have to stay on the street today! She said you'll have to beg her!"
Xie Hongli felt a surge of resentment.
But she gently comforted the child: "Don't be afraid, it won't happen! Grandma is wrong!"
My parents have found new jobs, and they're pretty good ones!
We're going back to work tomorrow!
And it's even closer to your school now! It'll only be a two-minute walk!
"Really? That's great!"
Little Stone shouted happily!
"Shh..."
Little Stone cutely covered his mouth: "Yes, we can't let the bad grandma know!"
For the first time ever, Xie Hongli didn't correct Xiao Shitou's statement!
It wasn't that Zhao's father and mother didn't want to leave; they just wanted to see them move out. They refused to believe that in the end, the Zhao family wouldn't beg them to leave!
But……
After waiting for ages, the oxcart finally arrived!
"You... you actually rented an oxcart?"
"This way, my parents won't need to pay for me!"
When Zhao Erdan entered the house, everything had already been packed and the two children had eaten!
"Come on, kids, we're moving!"
"Oh, great! We moved! That's awesome!"
Looking at the things, Zhao Erdan said with difficulty, "Hongli, I'm afraid you and the child will have to wait a little longer. I'll take the odds and ends over first, and then I'll put the bedding and clothes on the second trip. Once you and the child get in the car, we can go back together!"
"good!"
Xie Hongli had a smile on her lips.
Although the house there is small and only has one bed, it's good for the whole family to be together!
Even hard times feel sweet.
It wasn't until Zhao Erdan left in the oxcart that Zhao's mother really got worried!
He rushed into the house and shouted, "Xie Hongli, have you found a place? Where did you move your things?"
Did you go back to your parents' house first?
"That's not right. Your younger brother is already married. How could your sister-in-law let you go back to live there?"
Where did you move to?
Xie Hongli looked at her mother-in-law: "Mom, do you care? If you really cared, you wouldn't have let Erdan lose his job!"
Do you really think we don't know if we don't tell us?
Zhao's mother panicked and denied it, saying, "I don't know what nonsense you're talking about! Erdan is my own son. What good will it do me if he loses his job!"
"The good thing is that you can't stand to see him doing well. You resent him because your beloved son is dead. You wish it was Zhao Erdan who died!"
You hate him just because it wasn't him who died!
Right?
Zhao's mother's eyes suddenly reddened: "What nonsense are you talking about? Zhao Erdan is my own son too!"
"Yes, it's precisely because they're her biological children that it's so tragic! To show such favoritism is truly bizarre!"
This is the first time I've ever seen this!
Why don't you tell me what your mother-in-law is really thinking?
You only have one son, how have you treated him?
You know perfectly well that my whole family depends on him, this temporary worker, to support us, yet you still ruin his job opportunity!
What are you after?
Do you feel good seeing us suffer?
Xie Hongli looked at Zhao's mother with a mocking expression: "Calling you 'Mom' feels like an insult to me! From today onwards, I will never call you 'Mom' again!"
I won't take care of you in your old age!
After all, not only did you not help, you also interfered! I'll remember that!
"You...you are being unfilial!"
Zhao's mother shouted angrily!
"I don't care, I've had enough! At worst, my reputation will be ruined, but I don't care anymore. Who else can ask me to do anything?"
Isn't that right?
"You...you..."
Just then, Zhao Erdan returned!
"Why are you back so soon? Where did you go? Where did you move to?" Zhao's mother began to regret her actions frantically!
"It has nothing to do with you, Mom. Let's avoid seeing each other in the future!"
Zhao Erdan said these words mercilessly!
Zhao's mother completely broke down!
"No, Zhao Erdan, what are you trying to do? Where are you going? How am I supposed to find you later? You can't leave!"
"Don't leave!"
Zhao's mother cried and shouted!
Zhao Erdan calmly looked at his mother: "Mom, isn't this what you wanted? To live such a poor and destitute life?"
Now that I'm moving out, shouldn't you be laughing?
I don't really understand you, Mom. Why would you only be satisfied if your son lived a very, very bad life?
"My brother's death wasn't caused by me?"
Zhao's mother sat on the ground and cried.
Zhao Erdan led the children out and let them and Xie Hongli get on the oxcart. He glanced at his father.
He handed the keys to his supervisor and turned to leave.
Zhao's father's eyes were filled with anger and resentment, but not with reluctance!
"Stop crying, let's go home!"
Father Zhao pulled Mother Zhao along and quickly left!
When we arrived at the dormitory at the steel plant, it was much better than we had imagined!
Although the house is only about 20 square meters, it has been divided into two rooms. There is a table in the living room and two beds in the bedroom!
Xie Hongli was overjoyed!
The room was spotless. Xie Yanli just wiped it down a bit before making the beds! Putting the two beds together created a large three-meter-long bed, spacious enough for four people!
Even so, there was hardly any spare space in the bedroom, but everyone was content. After making the beds, Xie Hongli tidied up the house and asked Zhao Erdan to take the children to school. Sure enough, the trip took less than ten minutes!
"It's really close! From now on, you can sleep in a few minutes later and you won't have to cook anymore. You can just go to the cafeteria to buy food!"
"Yes, we don't have to spend money on meals, but the children still need to have their meals bought! However, we should be content!"
hehe……"
"Alright, let's pack up!"
It was all cleaned up in just one afternoon!
Since there's no wardrobe, I'll just put my clothes on the bed for now and get a wardrobe or box made next month after I get paid!
There's a washbasin stand and a table in the living room, and I even brought my own small dining table.
Although it's simple, it's cozy to live in!
Zhao Erdan said with a smile, "We are all formal employees now, and we have completed the onboarding process! No one can make us leave at any time!"
"Wife, our best days are yet to come!"
Xie Hongli said gratefully, "Yes, it's all thanks to my sister-in-law!"
Both of them remembered Zhou Ye very well!
There's a small iron stove outside the house for cooking. The neighbors know that the new resident, Zhao Erdan, works as an accountant, so they all help him out!
This family gives two coal briquettes, that family gives some newspapers to paste on the wall!
As evening fell and she looked at her cozy little home, Xie Hongli felt for the first time that there was still hope for the future!
The two of them went to pick up the kids together and even went to the cafeteria to get food! With two more kids, the cafeteria only charged an extra ten cents as a token charge!
The family of four returned home and ate in the small house; the atmosphere was wonderful!
Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe also started packing their luggage that evening!
Wang Guihua was a little reluctant to let him go: "Xiao Ye, are you leaving already? Mom will miss you. Why don't you stay?"
Xie Jianshe chuckled and said, "Mom, what are you saying! My job needs to be stabilized too!"
Do you want us to separate?
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Wang Guihua glared at him angrily, but still looked at Zhou Ye with teary eyes!
Touching her little hands, patting her shoulder, I just can't bear to part with her!
Xie Youfu softened the tone, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this with the kids! They're just going to work, not doing anything special!"
Hello!
The Lunar New Year is just a few months away, and the children will be back then!
"That's true, you should come back often!"
"Okay, we understand!"
The next day, they picked up Zhou Weiren early and went to the train station!
We arrived in the provincial capital in the afternoon!
Seeing that Zhou Weiren was in poor spirits, Xie Jianshe called a car. When they arrived home, the two tidied up the bedroom and let Grandpa rest first.
Then Xie Jianshe went to buy food!
Two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, several large steamed buns, and I even made a soup myself!
Eating a hot meal made me feel much more comfortable and relieved the fatigue of a day of traveling!
The next day, Xie Jianshe went to attend to his work early in the morning!
Brother Luo from the county town has also come to the provincial capital to develop his career!
We made a promise back then, and I'll keep my word and follow Zhou Ye from now on!
Xie Jianshe also directly allocated a section of the black market to them. As for how far they can go, that depends on their own abilities!
Brother Luo was shocked to learn that Xie Jianshe was the head of the black market in the provincial capital!
Knowing that Xie Jianshe had also agreed to his presence by Miss Zhou's side, he only thought about working for Miss Zhou in the future!
"Go and do something for me!"
Zhou also entrusted Luo Ge with the task of investigating his father's whereabouts!
Their mother had already told them that they had their own way.
According to the previous life, the time of my father and mother's death is getting closer and closer, and I must find news of my father as soon as possible!
Moreover, the mother gave birth to two more children!
Even if Zhou didn't love these inexplicably appearing younger siblings from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want anything to happen to them!
But when Brother Luo was gone for about a month, he came back and brought back two children!
this……
"Brother Luo, what's going on?"
Brother Luo handed Zhou Ye a letter!
"A woman surnamed Bai gave it to me, saying that she was in an emergency and didn't know how our investigation into her was exposed, so she took the initiative to contact me!"
Leave the child to me!
They said they absolutely had to deliver it to you!
Zhou also opened the letter:
Xiao Ye, my smart daughter, you must know that Mommy is in an emergency, right?
Mom knows you're a kind child!
Mom hopes you can take good care of your younger brother and sister!
These two children are mine and your father's, no doubt about it!
Your father and I were deceived by bad people and led to this place. I always thought we were contributing to our country!
Your father also participated in the research and development of new materials!
You know, half of it is here with us, and the other half is in our old house in Beijing. As for where that thing is now, I don't know either!
I hope you won't get involved in this matter.
I sewed a pocket into your sister's clothes, and inside there's a savings book with 100,000 yuan in it!
It's a guarantee for your and your brother's future life!
But remember, don't come back looking for us!
Very dangerous, very dangerous!
Xiao Ye, you're such a good child! Mom knows you miss Mom and want to be with Mom and Dad!
However, these are special times!
You're the older sister, so you need to take good care of your younger siblings! But you're also Mommy's precious child, and Mommy is so sorry that I can't be there to watch you grow up!
It's also a pity that I couldn't protect your younger siblings!
And they even shifted the blame onto you, sorry! So, Mom is telling you, you only need to raise them until they're eighteen!
As for everything else, it's all preordained!
The money is for you, and if the house in Beijing is still there in the future, it will also be yours!
I'm sorry, Mommy can't be with you! Mommy has very important things to do! I'm sorry, my baby!
Zhou Ye watched, his eyes welling up with tears!
So, Mom and Dad really encountered danger and something they couldn't solve, otherwise they wouldn't have entrusted their younger siblings to someone who was checking up on them!
She has no one she can trust anymore!
Zhou Ye looked at the two children beside him!
The two children stared at Zhou Ye, seemingly frightened!
Zhou also looked at Brother Luo!
Brother Luo smiled awkwardly: "Miss Zhou, I didn't mean to scare them. It's just that the child is too young and difficult to take care of along the way. He keeps crying and fussing!"
I've been hiding and running around, and I've only just returned safely!
I encountered several groups of people on the way, and they all thought I was a human trafficker!
I'm truly innocent! I would never do such a thing!
Zhou Ye squatted down and looked at the two children: "Rou'er, baby, you are safe now!"
The two children still didn't respond!
Do you still recognize your sister?
Zhou Ye asked tentatively.
"elder sister?"
Rou'er looked for a long time, then called out softly!
Zhou Ye affectionately hugged the two children, saying, "It's me, your sister's here! Are you hungry?"
To everyone's surprise, Rou'er pouted and hugged Zhou, then burst into tears!
"Sister...I'm scared!"
"elder sister……"
"Okay, I'm here, I'm not afraid anymore! I'm here!"
Rou'er cried while holding Zhou Ye, but the baby watched for a while and then squatted down to play! There was no other reaction!
At first, Zhou also thought that the baby might be scared out of his wits!
Later, after observation, we discovered that although the baby was only two years old, he was really precocious. When something happened, he would just watch silently and then go back to doing his own thing!
They were very enthusiastic and happy when playing!
"Alright, stop crying! Rou'er, let me make you something to eat, okay?"
"Mmm!"
The baby shouted, "Yes!"
Zhou nodded with a smile, while Xie Jianshe said first, "You guys stay inside, I'll go cook!"
Brother Luo: "Then... Miss Zhou, are they still following them?"
"and!"
"Go back there and keep an eye on that quarry. See if anything happens! Send more people to investigate!"
I'll give you another five thousand yuan in a bit!
Be extremely careful!
Brother Luo knew this was a genuine need for money, so he didn't refuse!
Xie Jianshe can only cook simple meals. He cooked two bowls of noodles. The baby can't eat by himself yet, so Zhou Ye has to feed him.
Suddenly remembering how haggard Brother Luo looked earlier, I realized how he had managed to get through these past few days taking care of the child!
Is five thousand yuan too little?
Zhou Ye felt like he had forgotten something... Suddenly he slapped his forehead: "Oh dear!"
"What's wrong?"
Xie Jianshe looked at her blankly.
"I...it seems I've forgotten something!"
Xie Jianshe paused for a moment, as if he was thinking carefully, and then suddenly his eyes widened!
"Chaoyang?"
Zhou nodded!
Xie Jianshe also slapped his forehead hard!
this……
I really forgot!
Thinking of the rising sun, then looking at Rou'er and the baby, then thinking of Grandpa...
Zhou also fell silent!
seem……
I've gone a bit too far... Xie Jianshe's house, my own grandfather, my younger siblings, and now I have to support Chaoyang?
If it were me, I'd probably have some objections, right?
"Xie Jianshe, could you help me find out where there are any houses for sale around here? I'd like to buy one!"
"Why?"
Xie Jianshe quickly noticed Zhou Ye's emotions!
"Xiao Ye, this house is so big, it's lively when people live here! The two children are so young, it's inconvenient for you to take care of them!"
How about this, I'll have my mom come over and help you take care of things!
Rou'er will be able to go to kindergarten soon. My mom can take care of her, she's just one child!
Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to find a job?
Go ahead and don't worry!
As for Chaoyang, there's even less to worry about! He should be very sensible! He can keep his grandfather company at home!
Zhou thought to himself that while buying a separate house might feel more comfortable, it would actually be more convenient to live together!
After Xie Jianshe's work arrangements were finalized, she learned that Xie Jianshe had been parachuted into the provincial capital's law enforcement team as its captain!
My monthly salary is 86, plus a 30 allowance, which makes me over 100 a month!
Xie Jianshe's black market is already quite large and has a good reputation; he doesn't overcharge customers or exploit acquaintances!
The operating profit inside is also very considerable!
Zhou knew that Xie Jianshe could support so many people! But... he hadn't actually married Xie Jianshe.
Even though they weren't married, Zhou was truly terrified by this kind of devotion!
So, she decided to treat the Xie family even better! As a way of giving back!
Because they have two children, Xie Jianshe set off to pick up Wang Guihua and Chaoyang!
Xie Jianshe arrived at the county's shelter first, carrying many gifts!
Chaoyang remained nestled in his room, motionless...
He seemed to be immersed in his own world...
"The rising sun..."
Chaoyang turned to look at Xie Jianshe, seemed to pause for a moment, then turned away and ignored him.
"Zhou Ye asked me to pick you up!"
