Mr. Qian did not directly produce evidence of Zhang Zhongping's bribery, but he also sent clues to Zhang Zhongping's opponents.
When Qian Jingtong felt that there was no hope of reconciling with her father and brother, she returned to Yangcheng with dissatisfaction, only to find that her husband was imprisoned and her property was confiscated.
She could only live in a very small rental house with her parents-in-law and three children.
I can only eat coarse grains and pickles every day.
How could Qian Jingtong, who had been used to a good life, tolerate this?
So, one night, Qian Jingtong took away the last bit of money in the family, abandoned her children and parents-in-law, and sneaked into the port city.
After she spent all her money, she accidentally got caught in a fight between two gangs.
As luck would have it, he accidentally saved a gang leader. Although this gang leader was very powerful, he was also lustful and greedy.
There were a lot of women in the family. Qian Jingtong fought with one of them to win favor, and his head was broken and bloody, his face was disfigured and his eyes were blinded, and his end was miserable.
Let’s not talk about what happens later, and let’s talk about the present.
Qian Xiaolan drove Qian Jingtong and his mother back to the yard, and no one spoke.
Seeing the dull atmosphere, Qian Xiaolan hugged Rong Qian's hand and leaned on her shoulder affectionately:
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
Qian Jingming couldn't help but tap her head lightly, "Don't you just miss your mom and not your dad?"
Qian Xiaolan chuckled, "I miss you all. If I didn't miss you, why would I come to Beijing to find you without saying a word?"
When she said this, Mr. Rong laughed:
"Lanlan's luck is really bad. She called all of us that day, but no one answered.
The couple was so scared that they thought something had happened to us, so they used their connections to buy plane tickets and rushed over overnight."
Several elders were moved and filled with joy.
Mr. Qian touched Qian Xiaolan's head, his tone full of love: "Good child, I made you worry.
Yan Qing, you have worked hard. Let's have a couple of drinks tonight."
"Grandpa, this is what I should do."
Gu Yanqing’s words were very helpful to the elders.
The atmosphere in the courtyard gradually became lively due to the conversations of several people.
Seeing this, Qian Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief and went out with Rong Qian to buy groceries and prepare dinner.
Gu Yanqing stayed and chatted with the two old men and his father-in-law.
Rong Qian took Qian Xiaolan to the nearest farmers' market. It was already late in the afternoon and most of the things in the market were sold out.
The two of them walked around and only bought two bunches of vegetables, four or five potatoes, two pounds of eggs, and half a pound of black fungus. There was nothing else to buy.
Rong Qian was helpless: "We are late, so we'll just have to make do with dinner."
Qian Xiaolan winked at her: "Don't worry, Mom, let's go back."
The two of them went back home. When they were almost home, Qian Xiaolan took Rong Qian into a remote alley and took out a chicken, two ribs, a sea bass, and a net bag of prawns from the space.
When Rong Qian saw so many things, she suddenly remembered that there was still space on Qian Xiaolan's body.
She leaned out to look outside and gestured a few times to Qian Xiaolan.
Does my son-in-law know this secret?
Qian Xiaolan smiled and shook her head.
Rong Qian patted her shoulder reassuringly.
As soon as the mother and daughter got home, they went into the kitchen and started working.
Rong Qian boiled water and Gu Yanqing killed the fish. When the water boiled, Gu Yanqing killed the chicken, Rong Qian cooked, and Qian Xiaolan prepared other ingredients.
The three of them worked together and soon the smell of food wafted from the kitchen.
The three old men in the yard, plus Qian Rongsheng who had just returned from get off work, smelled the fragrance and glanced towards the kitchen unconsciously.
Mr. Qian didn't even realize that he had placed the chess piece in the wrong place.
When he saw Qian Xiaolan bring the food to the table, Mr. Qian hurriedly threw the chess piece in his hand, and the chessboard was instantly disrupted.
Old Master Rong was so angry that he yelled, "You old thing are cheating again! Next time I play chess with you, I will take your last name!"
Old Master Qian stood up and walked to the main hall with his hands behind his back: "Humph! You have been named after me eight hundred years ago, what difference does it make?"
"When did I ever take your last name? My last name is Rong, and it has always been!"
Qian Jingming and his son walked behind, all lowering their heads and trying not to laugh.
These two funny guys!
When Mr. Qian saw the dishes on the table, he was delighted: "Wow, dinner is very sumptuous! Roasted chicken with potatoes, sweet and sour pork ribs, fish head tofu soup, pan-fried sea bass, braised prawns, and stir-fried vegetables."
Mr. Rong was a little surprised: "At this time, you can still buy so many vegetables, it seems you are lucky!"
Compared to Grandpa Qian who doesn't have to cook for himself, Grandpa Rong has been buying groceries and cooking for himself in the past few months since he came back.
Naturally, I knew that there were almost no vegetables to buy in the afternoon market.
Rong Qian was afraid that if they continued talking, she would be exposed in front of Gu Yanqing, so she quickly changed the subject:
"Lanlan, do you want to come back to the compound with us tonight, or stay with grandpa?"
Qian Xiaolan glanced at Mr. Rong, who was obviously reluctant to leave, and said with a smile:
"Mom, grandpa hasn't recovered yet. Let's stay here for another night and go to the compound to get acquainted with the gate tomorrow night."
Rong Qian wanted her daughter and son-in-law to go home and live now, but she was also worried about leaving her old father here alone, so she looked at Qian Jingming.
Qian Jingming said directly: "How about Dad go back and live with us?
Lanlan has never lived in the compound, and we will be leaving soon, so it will be difficult for her to come back in the future.
Why not go there today and stay in the compound for a few more days so that you can recognize everyone."
People in the compound will hold positions all over the country, and these will become their connections in the future, which may come in handy someday.
Mr. Rong originally didn't want to live in the compound because it was heavily guarded and would be uncomfortable to live there.
But when he heard Qian Jingming's words, he immediately thought of the key and did not refuse.
After packing a few days' worth of clothes for him to change into, Gu Yanqing and Qian Rongsheng picked up their luggage, locked the door and went to the compound.
Fortunately, they went to the compound. Qian Jingtong couldn't get into the compound in the next few days, so he kept knocking on the door here, but unfortunately no one responded.
On the contrary, several families nearby were almost called to the police because of the noise Qian Jingtong made every day.
After Qian Xiaolan and the others finished registering at the entrance of the compound, Old Man Qian smiled and let Qian Xiaolan support him as he walked.
Then every time I meet someone, I show off to them.
"Old Wang, have you eaten?
Let me introduce my granddaughter to you. My dear, this child has suffered outside for more than ten years, but not only did she not learn bad things, she is also very well-behaved and sensible.
Don't be fooled by her young age, her medical skills are very impressive, almost as good as her mother's!
I remember your granddaughter is a nurse in the military hospital, right? Medical staff and nurses are like a family. Bring your granddaughter to visit us someday!"
"Hey, Old Sun! I have a granddaughter too, dear! My granddaughter is very agile, I think she can compete with your grandson."
"Old Li, look, this is my granddaughter. Didn't you say your granddaughter is a great cook? Let's have these two sisters have a discussion some other day."
"That old Lin..."
That night, after Mr. Qian showed off Qian Xiaolan, he also showed off Gu Yanqing to others. Wherever he went, he brought about waves of hatred.
The young couple was so embarrassed that they wished they could dig a hole in the ground to crawl into!
