Summer vacation has officially begun, and most college students in the city have returned to their hometowns to help with the autumn harvest.
Xia Lan waited at home for a month before finally receiving a letter from Zhao Pandi.
In the letter, Zhao Pandi said that as soon as she returned, the man also came back, bringing his family with him, and forced her mother to return the money.
Her mother refused to return the money, saying that she had been sold to a man and that he would take her back. She wouldn't care what he did to her, but she would absolutely not give him the money.
Zhao Pandi then placed the receipt that Wu Shishi had given her in front of her mother and told her that she had damaged the purse of a young lady in the dormitory, and this was the receipt.
You have to compensate them over three hundred yuan.
Her mother went crazy when she heard that.
The bride price she got in return was only 200 yuan, but she had to pay 300 yuan to compensate someone for their bag.
She told her mother that if she couldn't afford to pay the compensation, she would go to jail.
The man immediately urged his mother to return the money, or he would take matters into his own hands.
The mother eventually returned the two hundred yuan to the man, but she also hated him.
The next day, her mother invited the village chief and said she wanted to separate her from the village.
There has never been a case of a girl being separated from her family in the village, so the village chief would definitely disagree.
Traditionally, only men are in charge of the household; it's unheard of for a woman to run the household herself. Besides, both parents are still alive, so why should the family separate?
Zhao Pandi produced a bill for 300 yuan in debt, and the village chief fell silent.
Her mother forced the village chief to send her away, and that's how she was sent away.
Her mother didn't even want to give her clothes, but her father secretly brought her her things.
Her father gave her fifty yuan, said nothing, and left.
Zhao Pandi told Xia Lan the good news, and from then on she was a free person.
But she had no one to rely on and no money to go to university.
Xia Lan pursed her lips. Although Zhao Pandi calmly recounted these events, how could things be as calm as Zhao Pandi described?
She must be under a lot of pressure and public opinion right now.
Moreover, she didn't even say where she lived in the letter, so how did she eat?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Xia Lan's complexion was not good, Xiao Yuqin quickly came over and asked her with concern.
Xia Lan glanced at Xiao Yuqin and hugged her.
This was the first time Xiao Yuqin had seen Xia Lan like this, and she hugged her with heartache.
"What's wrong, child? Tell Mom."
Xiao Yuqin comforted Xia Lan's head and sat down with her.
Xia Lan silently showed Zhao Pandi's letter to Xiao Yuqin, who also fell silent after reading it.
In this era, a girl without a maternal family is vulnerable to being bullied by everyone.
This girl is all on her own, without any help. How difficult must it be for her! How will she survive in the future?
"Mom, I want to go see her."
Xia Lan looked at Xiao Yuqin and said earnestly.
"But you..."
Xiao Yuqin glanced at Xia Lan's big belly, which was getting bigger and bigger. Not to mention the long journey back, how could she let her go alone?
That's true!
Xia Lan's eyes dimmed, and she silently lowered her head.
Seeing Xia Lan's expression, Xiao Yuqin immediately changed the subject.
"Let Qin Yu go back with you, and have your dad assign you two more people."
Xiao Yuqin patted Xia Lan's hand, got up and went to call Qin Jun.
Xia Lan thought Xiao Yuqin wouldn't agree, but to her surprise, Xiao Yuqin changed her mind and called Qin Jun.
Qin Jun agreed without hesitation.
When Qin Yu returned, Xia Lan told him about it again.
Qin Yu nodded.
"I'll tell Old Du that I'll go with you!"
"Thank you, Brother Yu."
Xia Lan happily threw herself into Qin Yu's arms.
Qin Yu chuckled and turned to look at Xiao Yuqin.
Xiao Yuqin chuckled. She had not only called Qin Jun, but she had also called Qin Yu.
Qin Yu knew that Xia Lan was worried about Zhao Pandi, and Qin Yu had already decided that he would make this trip.
The day of departure.
"Be careful on the road! Take care of yourself."
Qin Jun personally escorted them to the station, looking at Qin Yu and Xia Lan earnestly.
"Thank you, Dad."
Qin Yu and Qin Jun exchanged a glance, the father and son seemingly exchanging a conversation.
"Alright, keep an eye on Xia Lan."
Qin Jun said earnestly.
Qin Yu helped Xia Lan onto the train, and Qin Jun arranged two lower berths for them, while the two people who came with them stayed in the upper berths.
In this way, the entire carriage was filled with their people.
Xia Lan sat on the lower bunk, gazing at the scenery outside the window.
What do you want to do?
Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan and asked seriously.
"What?"
Xia Lan turned to look at Qin Yu, but didn't hear what he said.
"I said, now that you've met Zhao Pandi, what are you going to do?"
Qin Yu asked again.
Xia Lan was stunned.
But she had already thought about this problem long ago.
"I want to help her finish college!"
Xia Lan kept looking at Qin Yu as she said this.
She didn't know if Qin Yu would support her.
But if Zhao Pandi finally manages to break free from her cage and escape that damned fate, only to still face hardship and hope, she feels that would be too tragic.
She wanted to help her.
She knew that Zhao Pandi studied very, very hard and her grades were no worse than hers.
She's in deep trouble now, and as her friend, how could she just stand by and watch without helping her out?
Will you...support me?
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu nervously.
"I can use my own money!"
These words instantly sharpened Qin Yu's eyes, and he glared at Xia Lan.
"Your money?"
