Chapter 583 Will My Sister Be Involved?

Xu Minghong carefully opened the books. They were filled with text, but they were too profound for Xu Minghong to understand.

She thought for a moment, closed the book, and continued to search in the box. Finally, she found a thick stack of large balls at the bottom of the box.

She was stunned.

You know, she has never seen so much money since she was a child.

Didn’t they say the money had been sent back home?

The more Xu Minghong thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She remembered what her sister had said: if she encountered a problem that could not be solved, she should go to Sister Shen Tian or Doctor Yu.

She wanted to find Dr. Yu because in her heart, Dr. Yu was the most powerful person.

But her mother was waiting outside, how could she get out?

He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the window.

She lived on the third floor and she couldn't choose to jump down.

She first put the box back under the bed, then cleaned up all traces on the floor, and then found her parents' clothes in the wooden cabinet where they were kept.

Tie them together to make a very long rope.

It was dark, and Aunt Zhuang went to take Xiao Ping'an, who was playing in the yard, back home. Suddenly, she heard the little girl's timid voice coming from outside: "Aunt Zhuang, is Doctor Yu home?"

Aunt Zhuang asked Ping'an to come in. She went outside to open the door and found that it was Xu Minghong. She quickly let her in: "Minghong, it's so late, why are you here?"

"Aunt Zhuang, I have something very important to tell Dr. Yu. Can you let me see her?" Xu Minghong grabbed Aunt Zhuang's sleeve, her eyes full of pleading.

Aunt Zhuang's heart softened when she saw this look: "Of course you can, come in quickly."

Yu Wanqing was a little surprised to learn that Xu Minghong wanted to see her. When she walked out of the living room, she saw a little girl sitting on the sofa. Her clothes were dirty, her hair was messy, and she looked very dishevelled.

Her clothes were very thin and did not keep her warm at all, and she was shivering all over.

Yu Wanqing took a look and said quickly, "Aunt Zhuang, please go get the gray coat from my cupboard."

She bought that coat many years ago. It was of good quality and warm. She felt she could still wear it for a long time and was reluctant to throw it away.

The aunt brought a bowl of hot porridge and said, "Child, drink a bowl of porridge quickly to warm yourself up."

Xu Minghong looked at the thick meat porridge in the bowl and couldn't help swallowing. She glanced at Xu Xiuqing, then looked at Doctor Yu, and asked in a low voice: "Can I really eat it?"

Yu Wanqing smiled and sat beside her: "Of course, it's a little hot, eat slowly."

Xu Minghong's eyes lit up when she heard that. She quickly thanked him and went to wash her hands.

When she came back, Aunt Zhuang had already brought her coat.

Yu Wanqing asked Xu Minghong to put on her coat, and she waved her hands quickly. Dr. Yu's clothes were so beautiful, and she herself was dirty and covered in dust. She couldn't let Dr. Yu's clothes get dirty.

Yu Wanqing took the clothes and put them on her: "Okay, you can eat the porridge now. By the way, tell me, what happened that you came to see me at this time?"

Xu Minghong had been to the Huo family with her sister before, so she gradually felt relieved and told the Huo family what had happened to her today while eating porridge.

"Doctor Yu, I always feel that something is wrong with the things in the box. My parents always say that there is no money at home, and the money has been sent back to my grandma."

"But there are many big reunions in that box." Xu Minghong looked at Yu Wanqing: "Sister said when she left home that if I encounter something I don't understand, I will come to you."

Yu Wanqing smiled and said, "It's okay. Your parents are probably just crying because they are poor. They don't want you to know that there is money at home."

"After you finish your porridge, go back and go upstairs. Act as if nothing has happened and don't let anyone know that you have looked at the box."

"Otherwise, your parents will definitely beat you."

Xu Minghong felt that what Dr. Yu said made sense. If her parents knew that she had seen the box and knew there was so much money in it, they would definitely be angry.

I will definitely be beaten up by them together.

Thinking of this, Xu Minghong shuddered: No matter what, I must not let my parents know.

Their beatings really hurt.

Next, Yu Wanqing asked indirectly some questions about Platoon Leader Xu and his wife.

Xu Minghong fell silent as he was talking, his brows furrowed as if he had thought of something.

"Actually, my dad would beat my mom, very hard."

At this point, she put down her spoon and stopped eating. Instead, she looked at Yu Wanqing and said, "My dad would always beat my mom in the middle of the night, punching her again and again. Sometimes he would even grab her hair, throw her to the ground, and kick her."

"He always covered my mother's mouth before beating her. That way, even if he beat her hard, we wouldn't know."

Yu Wanqing never thought that Platoon Leader Xu would actually beat his wife.

She asked, "Does your sister know about this?"

Xu Minghong shook her head: "I only discovered it when I got up to drink water."

"I knew about it two years ago, but I didn't dare tell my sister because I was worried that they would beat her after they knew about it."

Although they were the only two people in the living room, Xu Minghong still leaned over to Yu Wanqing's ear and said, "Once they had a quarrel, I heard mom calling dad a lunatic, a beast, and a devil."

At this point, her eyes reddened: "This is why I never dare to quarrel with my father."

"I feel like my mom hates my dad. Sometimes the way she looks at him is scary."

If she hadn't seen it by accident, she wouldn't have believed that her mother would look at her father like that.

Although this look disappeared in an instant, it was still very scary in Xu Minghong's eyes.

Yu Wanqing thought of Aci's words, who said that there was something wrong with Platoon Leader Xu.

Maybe Xu's mother knows something.

While the two were talking, Huo Lanci came back from outside. After learning about Xu Minghong's situation, he thought for a moment and said slowly, "No need to send the child back secretly. My aunt and I will send the child back openly."

Yu Wanqing glanced at him and felt that this approach was a bit risky.

She thought about it, and finally put some chili powder in Xu Minghong's pocket. She told the little girl that if she encountered danger, she should put the chili powder on the other person's face and eyes.

Then find an opportunity and run away.

No matter what happens, you must protect yourself first.

Xu Minghong felt a little uneasy as she listened to Dr. Yu's advice. She always felt that her parents must have done something and that these things would implicate them.

She couldn't help but ask Yu Wanqing: "If mom and dad really did something bad, would it affect my sister?"

She was still a child and was less involved.

My elder sister is different. She has already joined the army. If my father really gets into trouble, my elder sister will be the first to be affected.

As for her brother who had already joined the army, he was never within her consideration.

In this world, she only cares about her sister.
