Chapter 104 Fan Ailing ran away from home
Yang Yuzhi looked up at Jiang Jiani and forced a miserable smile: "Jiani is back."
"Big sister, now that Jianni is back, I'm leaving."
"I'll come find you again later."
Yang Yuemei sighed and said, "You should just stay home and rest."
"But Ailing is almost twenty years old and a shrewd young woman. She won't suffer any losses, so you can rest assured for now."
"If you have anything to say, wait until she gets back."
"Don't stay at home and sulk, or you'll ruin your health."
Yang Yuezhi nodded and left.
As soon as she left, Jiang Jianni immediately asked, "Mom, what's wrong with my second aunt? She has such dark circles under her eyes, she must not have slept for three or four days."
Yang Yuezhi was a rather well-off person.
She eats well and rests well, so she looks a few years younger than her actual age.
But today, Yang Yuezhi still has curly hair and is still very fashionable. Every piece of her clothing costs over a hundred yuan, but she looks haggard and like a completely different person.
Not only do I have dark circles and bloodshot eyes, but I also have eye bags, with two large bulges under my lower eyelids, and my skin is also a bit yellow and dull.
Jiang Jiani almost didn't recognize her.
Yang Yuemei sighed, "It's all because of Ailing's matter."
Jiang Jianni's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong with Ailing? Isn't the college entrance exam coming up soon?"
"Did you not study properly during the winter break? Is that why your grades dropped during the initial assessment at the start of the semester?"
Yang Yuemei waved her hand: "Where? If her grades had dropped, it would have been simple. She ran away from home."
Jiang Jianni was genuinely surprised: "Run away from home? Running away from home right before the college entrance exam?"
Yang Yuemei looked dejected, unable to cheer even while holding her eldest grandson: "That's right? The college entrance exam is almost here and this girl has run away."
"But this isn't really Ailing's fault; it's your second aunt's husband's fault."
Fan Junshan probably wanted to catch up with that official son-in-law as soon as possible.
Right after the New Year, I told Fan Ailing to get married first.
Of course, she is too young to get a marriage certificate, and she is still in school, while the man is too old.
Fan Junshan's idea was that the two of them would simply have a small banquet and not notify any relatives or friends.
The wedding consisted of just the couple, the groom and his daughter, having a meal together.
Let Fan Ailing take advantage of her youth and good health, and since it's before the college entrance exam, to try her best to get pregnant.
That way, by the time she starts university, it will be about time she gives birth.
Jiang Jianni couldn't help but ask, "He didn't even graduate from elementary school, did he?"
"It's already the end of February. Even if I'm lucky enough to get pregnant now, university starts in September, so it'll only be six months at most."
"A six-month-old baby is only just fully developed, how can they give birth?"
"He even had two children. Doesn't he have that much common sense?"
Yang Yuemei smiled wryly: "Who says it isn't?"
"I heard that the man is only two or three years younger than your second aunt's husband. Although he's an official, he's about twenty years younger than Ailing. What do you think your second aunt's husband is thinking?"
Fan Junshan knew he hadn't handled things well, and he hadn't planned to let his wife's family know before his eldest grandson was born.
But man proposes, God disposes.
Fan Ailing looked at him obediently and readily agreed to whatever he said without any hesitation.
Fan Junshan is very proud that his daughter is so obedient.
So when Fan Ailing asked him for three or four thousand yuan to buy some nice clothes, he didn't hesitate at all and gave her five thousand yuan so she could buy more.
Fan Ailing said that after getting married, she wouldn't be able to hang out with her classmates anymore and would have to keep her distance, so she wanted to stay at her classmates' houses for a few days before the wedding.
Fan Junshan readily agreed.
As a result, Fan Ailing was gone for a week without any news.
Fan Junshan immediately became anxious.
I went to Fan Ailing's classmate's house to look for her, but she wasn't there. They said they hadn't seen Fan Ailing since the winter break and even asked if they were preventing her from going to school, since it had been four or five days since the start of the new semester and she still hadn't gone to school to register.
Fan Junshan then realized that school had started and that Fan Ailing was not at the school.
We searched other students' homes, but they weren't there either; we searched the teachers' homes, but they weren't there either.
At this point, the news could no longer be kept secret.
The five Yang sisters all knew that Fan Ailing had disappeared.
The whole family searched for everyone they knew who had connections, but still couldn't find them.
Fan Junshan was angry at home and accidentally opened the place where he hid his money, only to find it empty.
He left 50,000 yuan there, and now it's all gone.
Not only this 50,000 yuan treasury, but also the money hidden in the bedside table where the Fan family often kept money and in other places, totaling more than 30,000 yuan, has also disappeared.
Losing so much money all at once, everyone knows things aren't going well.
Grandpa Yang told Fan Junshan to go home and look for Fan Ailing's ID card and such. If the ID card was still there, it meant she was still in Yunyang City. If not, then she had really run away, and they really couldn't find her.
As a result, even Fan Junshan, the father, didn't know that Fan Ailing had reached the age to apply for an ID card, and he even went to the police station to inquire about it.
The police checked the records and found that the girl had obtained her ID card before the Lunar New Year.
Now, the money, the ID card, and the person are all gone.
In other words, Fan Ailing's escape was premeditated.
Fan Junshan was so angry that he smashed things and cursed at home, blaming Yang Yuezhi for not taking good care of the child. Yang Yuezhi could only cover her face and sob.
It was only after Grandpa Yang asked that he found out what had happened.
Enraged, the old man grabbed his cane and beat Fan Junshan up.
It's said that he ruined a promising college student.
They called him a careerist, and accused him of being obsessed with evil.
If you really want to be an official, then cultivate your daughter properly.
Fan Ailing is also a good student, consistently ranking in the top three of her class and in the top twenty of her grade. If she gets into a good university, she might be able to get a job in a government department.
Isn't it better to be the father of an official than to find a son-in-law who is an official?
Fan Junshan also felt a little regretful.
Of course, what he regretted was not that it might have delayed his daughter's path to becoming an official.
Becoming an official is not that easy. So many male college graduates don't have the opportunity or ability to become fathers.
His regret was that he hadn't kept a close eye on Fan Ailing and had let her get away.
The country is so big, and although Pingyang City is not large, it is still a transportation hub. Long-distance buses and trains from the north and south come and go every few minutes.
If someone wants to run away, they really can't be found unless they tell their family.
Fan Ailing's escape was a relief, but he had no way to explain himself to the others.
At the same time, I was also puzzled.
Fan Ailing has always been very well-behaved and obedient. She will learn whatever she is asked to learn, and she will study hard and diligently.
Why did they suddenly run away?
He also blamed Fan Ailing.
I think she could have just said so if she didn't want to.
He was her biological father, and ultimately, he wanted the best for her.
If Fan Ailing really doesn't want to, can her father force her?
Jiang Jianni curled her lip in disapproval: "How dare he say that?"
"From childhood to adulthood, when has he ever allowed Eileen to say no?"
“I remember when Eileen was little, she didn’t want to learn the piano, so he would take out his belt and beat her until she was covered in bloody welts.”
"How dare he say he won't force her?"
