Because they had to return to South Island to take up their new post, Zhou Zhengting and Jiang Qingyue decided to return to South Island early after the New Year.
It's better to prepare in advance when you get there.
Before confirming the departure date, Zhou Zhengting called Xie Xiangyang again.
Ask him when he will return to South Island.
Xie Xiangyang was worrying about getting a ticket to go back early, and heard that he could take a plane back to Beijing.
He immediately asked Zhou Zhengting to help him book two more plane tickets, and he immediately set off to Beijing to meet up.
Let’s wait and then go back to South Island together.
It was not until then that Xie Xiangyang told him that Hu Changying had gone back to his hometown with him to celebrate the New Year.
I feel a little embarrassed to say that we haven’t talked about marriage yet.
Jiang Qingyue secretly laughed at him for being an old-fashioned person, not knowing that Hu Changying had already told her about it over the phone.
While waiting for the two to come to Beijing, Jiang Qingyue was also busy packing her luggage for return trip.
When the two people's train arrived on the day, Zhou Zhengting and Jiang Qingyue drove to pick them up in person.
Because the flight was the next day, the two planned to settle down in their own courtyard after picking him up.
They returned to live in the compound.
This way they wouldn't have to stay in a guesthouse, and it would also be a good opportunity to introduce the two of them to their families.
While the two were waiting outside the train station, they suddenly saw a crowd of people rushing out.
Zhou Zhengting quickly pulled Jiang Qingyue in front of him to prevent others from squeezing her.
Jiang Qingyue also saw Xie Xiangyang and Hu Changying in the crowd at a glance.
Just as the two were about to wave and shout, they suddenly saw a woman in her thirties following behind them.
Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but be surprised, "Didn't we agree that there would be two people? How did it become three?"
Zhou Zhengting was also confused. "I didn't hear him say that on the phone. I'll ask him later."
After the three of them walked to the front and exchanged some greetings.
Xie Xiangyang then pointed at the woman behind him and explained, "This is my cousin Xie Xiaojuan. She came out with us temporarily because of some special circumstances at home."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingyue looked up at her, smiled slightly and nodded.
Although she was dressed like a peasant woman, she was fair and well-proportioned. However, her hands under her cotton-padded jacket were swollen beyond belief.
You can tell at first glance that it's a bedsore.
But now was not the time to say more. After picking up the three people, the two of them led them directly into the car.
After closing the door, Jiang Qingyue said, "I have prepared everything at home. You can stay at our house tonight. Our flight is tomorrow."
Hu Changying is fine.
Xie Xiangyang was a little embarrassed, "We, why don't we just stay in the guesthouse."
After all, there is an 'outsider' with him.
Jiang Qingyue understood his concerns and smiled, "It's okay. Anyway, my courtyard has many rooms and can accommodate everyone. It's a good opportunity for me to go over and introduce you to my family."
Xie Xiangyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay then, thank you for your help!"
When the group arrived at the courtyard, they settled the three people down.
While Xie Xiangyang's cousin was resting, Jiang Qingyue and Zhou Zhengting finally found out what had happened.
It turned out that Xie Xiangyang's cousin secretly ran away when she went back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings.
Later, I happened to meet Xie Xiangyang and Hu Changying at the train station.
The two men were worried about her safety, so they brought her to Beijing first.
"As for how to settle her, we hadn't figured it out yet. At the time, we just wanted to make sure her husband didn't find out. If he caught her, he would beat her up again."
Jiang Qingyue gasped, "Brutal beating?"
"Yeah." Xie Xiangyang pursed his lips. "My mother told me that my cousin is a poor person. She married her current husband for the high bride price. She was fine in the first two months, but her husband got addicted to gambling and drinking. Every time he lost money or got drunk, he would beat my cousin up."
"Last year she finally got pregnant, but she was beaten so hard that she had a miscarriage. Since then she has been trying to escape, but she was arrested every time she tried to escape twice."
Hu Changying also sighed, "I really can't imagine what kind of hard life she had before. When she ran into the two of us, her cotton jacket was very thin, and her shoes were soaked. Her hands were already frozen, and this was even more frightening. It was because she had no money that she couldn't get far the first two times she escaped."
"We both thought about it and decided to bring her to Beijing. This place is far away and her husband probably wouldn't expect her to be here."
Jiang Qingyue didn't expect that the woman had such a pitiful identity. No wonder she didn't say a word along the way.
The whole person seemed timid and reserved.
Zhou Zhengting, the calmest person in the audience, did not express any sighing emotion.
Instead, he asked a practical question, "But you two just brought the people to Jing City. Old Xie, what are you going to do with them? Are you going to let them stay in Jing City and fend for themselves, or take them to South Island?"
Xie Xiangyang pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take her to South Island. She doesn't know anyone in Beijing and has never been a monk. I don't think she can survive alone."
Zhou Zhengting added, "But our tickets have already been booked, and we're leaving tomorrow. We can't get a ticket if we add her now. And even if she goes to the island with you, it's a problem how to arrange it."
"If her family members ask around, they'll know that she went to the train station. There's no guarantee that she won't think of being with you. If she suddenly goes to South Island to ask for you, it will be bad for you."
After hearing Zhou Zhengting's words, several people were in a dilemma.
Xie Xiangyang couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he had brought the person here on impulse.
But when I thought about her miserable life experience, I felt that I did the right thing.
"My cousin was very kind to me when she was little. I can't just watch her get beaten to death. She is a hard-working person who is not afraid of hardship. I believe that as long as she can escape from the fire pit, she will be able to take care of herself."
Jiang Qingyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said, "I suggest you ask her what she thinks, to see if she is willing to stay in Beijing or go to South Island with you."
"If she wants to stay in Beijing, there are ways. Beijing is in need of workers right now. As long as she is not afraid of hard work, it will be easy for her to find a job. If it doesn't work out, I'll ask my family if the restaurant is short of workers."
Xie Xiangyang nodded, "Okay, then I'll go ask."
While Xie Xiangyang was asking, Wang Xiuzhi and Wang Xiuhe also ran over to ask Jiang Qingyue what was going on.
Jiang Qingyue briefly explained her situation to the two of them.
The sisters Wang Xiuzhi and Wang Xiuhe are also soft-hearted and warm-hearted people, and they can't stand hearing this.
He sighed for a while at the moment, and then hurried back to find some old clothes, hand oil, etc.
When Xie Xiangyang came back, Xie Xiaojuan followed him in with a bag on her back, and kept thanking everyone.
Then he added, "I told Xiangyang that I will not go to South Island with you. It's good enough that you brought me here. I should leave too."
