Chapter 345 Sent to an Orphanage
After a moment, Gong Wenbai seemed to notice Li Miao's embarrassment.
"That happened several years ago, and I've let it go long ago. By the way, how are you doing in school?"
Li Miao felt relieved when he saw Gong Wenbo changed the subject and started chatting with him about college life.
After the children entered the crowd, Gong Wenbo and Li Miao had no time to talk and just stared at them eagerly.
The main reason is that there are too many people.
Ji Ziang, who was very greedy, pulled Li Miao to buy this and that. After a while, Li Miao and Gong Wenbo had several bags in their hands.
Qin Mucheng always protected Ji Yuanyuan like a little gentleman.
"Auntie, I want this!" Ji Ziang pointed at a stall selling malt sugar and acted coquettishly to Li Miao.
Li Miao had no choice but to squeeze over and said to the vendor, "Sister, how much is one pound?"
Ji Yuanyuan was standing behind Ji Ziang, holding hands with Qin Mucheng.
Next to the maltose is a woman selling vegetables.
It looked like they were all grown casually at home. The peppers were small and short, the cucumbers were crooked, and several green vegetables were tied into bundles, with clumps of mud at the roots.
Next to her sat a little boy, who was neatly dressed and looked about the same age as Ji Zixuan.
The boy looked at the candied haws in Ji Zixuan's hand, and said enviously, "Mom, give me some money. I want to buy some candied haws!"
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately took out a few dimes from her pocket and put them in the boy's hand: "Go ahead, buy whatever you want to eat!"
The boy took the money and left happily.
The woman was very happy looking at her son's back.
After his son walked away, he looked at another woman who was selling kitchen utensils nearby.
"Sister Wu, let me tell you, my money-losing kid was finally sent away two days ago."
Sister Wu, who was buying kitchenware, didn't have much business. She looked over and was a little surprised: "Sent away? Where did you send it to?"
"An orphanage? Where else can they send him? All the children without parents have to go there! We definitely can't afford to raise him. The old man and the old woman want to raise him, but do they have the money?"
The two people spoke without any scruples and in quite loud voices, so their words reached Ji Yuanyuan's ears.
"Didn't your sister-in-law get some compensation for the car accident? How come you can't afford to raise her?" Sister Wu asked in surprise.
"Tsk, that slut got pregnant before marriage and gave birth to a little money-loser. She made our Shen family lose face in the village for many years. The little money they paid is not enough to make up for the grievances our family has suffered for so many years. Besides, that little money-loser looks more and more like a slut. Everyone feels uncomfortable when they see her. It's better to send her away!"
Ji Yuanyuan yawned and felt that this woman was a little too cruel.
My sister-in-law died and the compensation money should be used to raise her children.
Even if she doesn't want to raise the child, then she shouldn't take the money, right?
Whoever is willing to raise it can give the money!
She actually took the money and sent her sister-in-law's child to an orphanage?
And her parents-in-law are not good people either. How could they allow their daughter-in-law to abuse their granddaughter like this?
This family of shameless people will get their comeuppance sooner or later.
Ji Ziang and Li Miao bought the maltose and took her away.
Ji Ziang stuffed a piece into his mouth and sighed, "It's so sweet!"
Ji Yuanyuan stretched out her hand: "Second brother, I want one too!"
Ji Ziang took out a few pieces and started dividing them.
It was given to Ji Yuanyuan first. She took it, put it in her mouth, and slowly walked forward.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
Pregnancy before marriage, car accident, Shen family.
Why does it sound so familiar?
Li Miao saw her stop and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yuanyuan said: "It seems that I lost some money."
She walked back two steps along the same path.
Wandering around the woman, pretending to search the ground for something.
"Didn't your sister-in-law remarry later? And her man didn't say anything?" Sister Wu asked curiously.
The woman immediately sneered: "She went to the south to make money like others, but she came back with a lot of debt. She was afraid that the bank would chase her, so she ran away. Besides, he has no blood relationship with the money-loser, so why would he care about her?"
It's right! Everything is right!
The person in front of him was most likely Shen Lingxue's aunt.
So, Shen Lingxue was sent to an orphanage?
The compensation money was also taken away by my aunt?
Ji Yuanyuan returned to Li Miao and grabbed her hand: "It's just ten cents, no need to change!"
Li Miao nodded: "There are so many people, I won't look for them anymore."
Ji Yuanyuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.
The money-loser this woman was referring to was actually Shen Lingxue?
Although what this woman did was not right, Shen Lingxue deserved all of this.
Ji Yuanyuan just felt extremely happy in her heart!
Compared to the suffering she had endured, Shen Lingxue's current situation was nothing.
Qin Mucheng held Ji Yuanyuan's other hand. Although he didn't know why she suddenly became happy, as long as Ji Yuanyuan was happy, he would be happy too.
Li Miao took fifty yuan and bought a lot of things.
Li Miao and Gong Wenbo had their hands full of things.
In addition, the children's hands were also full.
A few people squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the parking lot.
"Li Miao?"
Suddenly, someone called Li Miao's name.
Li Miao turned around in surprise and looked around.
Soon she saw a familiar person not far behind her, and she asked in surprise: "Senior?"
Ji Yuanyuan also turned around to look, and saw a short, gentle-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walking quickly towards her: "What a coincidence, you're here to the market too?"
Li Miao pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes."
As soon as Ji Yuanyuan saw the look in her aunt's eyes, she knew that her aunt probably liked him.
"Are these your nephews and nieces? They've grown up so much?" The man lowered his head and looked at Ji Yuanyuan and the others.
Li Miao smiled and said, "This is my sister's child, come on and call me uncle!"
The last sentence was directed to Ji Yuanyuan and others.
The four children shouted in unison: "Hello, uncle!"
The man looked at Gong Wenbo again, "That's your brother, right? Is he the eldest or the second brother?"
Li Miao quickly explained: "He's not my brother, he's a friend!"
When the man heard this, his expression stiffened.
Li Miao probably knew that the man had misunderstood, and quickly said, "He is the child's uncle. He was worried about the child following me alone, so he came with me."
The man's expression became better when he heard that. He glanced at Gong Wenbai and, as if on purpose, told Li Miao about what happened at school.
Gong Wenbai stood at the back, his expression remaining indifferent.
Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at the man again.
I don’t know why, but I always feel like I’ve seen this man somewhere before. Why does he look so familiar?
Our Yuanyuan looks familiar for no reason. He wears glasses and looks gentle. Guess who he is!
