As expected.
Huo Jing, the fierce man who avoided Lin Wanwan like the plague during the day and wished he could punch her in the face, now had a gentle expression and an uncontrollable upturn at the corners of his mouth.
“I’m up in the mountains, I have plenty of meat to eat, but what about you? Are your parents abusing you again?”
"Ah Ming, how about...?"
Luo Qingming understood what he meant, but still shook her head. "Brother, I can't drag you down with me."
"I'd be happy if you could come visit me occasionally."
Should we run away?
He certainly wanted that too.
He also wanted to escape that hellhole.
But with his physique, how far can he run?
The entire village of Wangzi colluded with each other; once captured, he faced only imprisonment.
He swallowed the last bite of meat, looked up to meet Huo Jing's pained gaze, and smiled gently, "Brother, if I ever die, please collect my remains."
"In the next life, Ah Ming will definitely serve you like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness."
Huo Jing shook his head, his eyes reddening. "Don't say that. I won't let you die. Once I take you away from here, I'll find you the best doctor."
The little man in front of him was someone he had raised and nurtured little by little; how could he bear to let him rot in this filthy place?
It'll be soon, as long as he...
He looked at Luo Qingming's light and airy body, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
"Ah Ming, you are just an adopted child of the Luo family. If we find your relatives, would you be willing to go with them?" He stared intently at his face, a slight stirring in his heart.
Luo Qingming lowered his eyelashes and his voice faded into the darkness, "No..." He would, he definitely would, he would seize every opportunity to escape.
"I don't want to leave my brother."
His skin was pale and he looked sickly, but that couldn't hide his exquisite good looks. His usually calm eyes were now gleaming with a hidden light as he gazed longingly at Huo Jing.
Huo Jing's heart softened completely. "Don't be afraid, brother... will definitely take you away."
Luo Qingming nodded, her eyes slightly lowered, looking incredibly obedient.
Lin Xiaoxiao: ......
Wow, that's incredible. This level is on a completely different level from ordinary people.
It's a pity I didn't see her face, but with such a gentle and pleasant voice, she must be quite good-looking.
Back at the Zhang family home, he lay down on the bed.
I was still a little reluctant to fall asleep.
I've heard a lot of gossip today; I need to digest it properly.
The next day, when Lin Xiaoxiao woke up, Li Cuilan had already prepared breakfast: vegetable porridge, steamed egg custard, mixed side dishes, and stir-fried some pickled vegetables.
Little Zhang Duo got up earlier than Lin Xiaoxiao and had been playing in the yard for a while.
He tried to knock on Lin Xiaoxiao's door halfway through, but his mother scolded him.
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao got up, she ran over and said, "You lazybones, the sun's already high in the sky!"
The little girl openly mocked him, and Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed, grabbed her clothes from the back, and lifted her up. "Dare to laugh at me? See how I deal with you."
I picked her up and swung her around a few times.
"Oh, oh, oh, I'm flying!" The little girl flapped her arms and legs, face down and back up, overjoyed.
The baby's voice echoed in the yard. Li Cuilan, who was ladling porridge in the kitchen, wiped away her tears and touched the bullet casing hanging around her neck.
The child's father gave it to her after they got married; he said it was the bullet casing from her first time firing a gun, and he wanted to keep it as a souvenir for her.
In the blink of an eye, the child is already five years old, and he has been gone for a year.
Time flies so fast, it feels like it was a long time ago when he was still here.
During the meal, Lin Xiaoxiao could clearly sense that Li Cuilan was in low spirits. Looking at her slightly red eyes, she guessed that she was probably thinking of Company Commander Zhang.
She offered no words of comfort.
Time is the best healer.
Not long after they finished eating, Cang Yue'er came over with meat.
"Sister-in-law, look what I brought you."
Li Cuilan scooped the playing Zhang Duo into her arms and looked at her warily.
Zhang Duo recognized her second aunt as a bad person, her legs trembling, her voice trembling with tears, "Mommy, I'm scared, scared..."
"What are you doing here?" Li Cuilan hugged her daughter tightly. "You're not welcome here. Get out."
You shameless bastard, you think you're so great?
Cang Yue'er gritted her teeth inwardly, but outwardly pretended to be kind as she put the meat into the kitchen, acting as if she knew the ropes well, indicating that she had lived in this house for quite some time.
As she came out of the kitchen, she glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side picking her fingers, and a hint of jealousy flickered in her eyes when she looked at her.
However, after listening to Cang Ri's words, she decided to calm the person down first.
"Oh, look at what you're saying, sister-in-law. I still remember the five thousand yuan you lent my family a while ago."
Cang Yue'er took the money out of her pocket, gritted her teeth, and reluctantly handed it to Li Cuilan, "Today, I came here specifically to repay this money. You... keep it safe."
As he spoke, afraid that he might change his mind, he stuffed the money into her hand.
Li Cuilan was completely stunned when she held the money.
When has my brother-in-law's family ever been so easy to talk to?
They actually took the initiative to return all the money they had stolen. Even Li Cuilan, who wasn't very bright, knew that they must be up to something.
After Cang Yue'er returned the money, she looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a warm smile on her face. "Is this the person sent by the army? He's really handsome. I'm Cuilan's sister-in-law. Yesterday you had some misunderstandings with my Dazhu. When I got back, I immediately taught him a lesson."
"Comrade, come to my house for lunch. You've come all this way, and you won't be staying for more than a few days, so you must have a simple meal before you leave."
