Zheng Pingshun and his wife brought Zheng Shi and Qian Xiangqian with them. Uncle Qian was on a business trip, and it was Aunt Qian who came. She was plump and had a kind smile and spoke softly and slowly.

The Qian family lives in the county, but they rushed to the city at this time, which shows that they care about Ji Ling.

Rong Silin came over in the evening and was in a much better mood. He no longer mentioned Xu Fang.

Zheng Pingshun invited all the men to go out for dinner, leaving only Ji Ling, Rong Silin and Aunt Qian in the hotel room.

Ji Ling also found that Aunt Qian's name was very special.

Ma Wan.

Although he is chubby, he speaks slowly and softly, and is indeed very gentle.

"Eat more. This is not enough." Seeing that Ji Ling ate little, Rong Silin poured another half bowl of chicken soup into her bowl.

If Ji Ling hadn't had the pain in her arm, she would have raised her hand and refused, "Auntie, I really can't eat anymore."

"If you can't eat it, then don't eat it. Eat it tomorrow." Ma Wan poured the chicken soup back into the thermos bucket. While cleaning up the bowl and spoon used by Ji Ling, she said to Rong Silin, "It's getting late. Let Xiao Ling rest early."

Rong Silin smiled, "Okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so you can accompany me to my house and talk."

It was too late and there was no car going back, so Ma Wan had to stay in the city tonight.

After the two left, Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as she let out a sigh of relief, Aunt Ma came back again.

She took out two fifty-yuan bills and stuffed them into Ji Ling's hand, "Save them for buying delicious food."

"Auntie, this is too much. I can't accept it." Ji Ling refused awkwardly.

Before she could finish her next words, Ma Wan had already spoken first, "Auntie treats you as her daughter now. If you and Xiang Qian get together in the future, you will be her daughter-in-law. So no matter how you look at it, you are not an outsider. You are not allowed to be polite to Auntie."

Ma Wan's serious attitude made Ji Ling feel embarrassed to say no.

"Auntie Ma, thank you."

"Silly child, you must learn to be kind to yourself."

Aunt Ma left. Ji Ling could still feel her hands rubbing her head. She held back her laughter and put the money away.

He didn't take the five hundred yuan that he had given to Xiang Qian before, and now he has another hundred yuan.

That's six hundred dollars.

It is equivalent to two years' salary of an ordinary worker.

That's a lot of money.

Ji Ling thought that if she spent money frugally, she would have no problem finishing college, after all, there were subsidies for college nowadays.

Outside, Rong Silin took Ma Wan and did not go back to his own home, but went to the compound where the Xu family lived.

Standing at the gate of the compound, Ma Wan knew what she was going to do and stopped her, "I knew there was something strange about you leaving the hotel so happily. Do you want to quarrel with Xu Fang?"

During the day, when Ma Wan came by car, she saw Xu Fang and her daughter sitting in the front. They were worried, and thinking about Ji Ling's matter, Ma Wan did not go forward to say hello.

So when she met Rong Silin in the afternoon, Ma Wan told her secretly.

"When I got home in the afternoon, Lao Zheng scolded me and told me not to tell Xiaoling about it. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep all night unless I expressed it."

Ma Wan pulled her back and said, "If you can't sleep, I'll stay with you for one night. It's not that I don't want you to help Xiaoling, but I'm afraid that if you get ahead of yourself, Xiaoling's life at home will be even more difficult, and Xu Fang and her mother-daughter relationship will be even worse."

It was because of Xiaoling that Rong Silin calmed down and followed Ma Wan home, saying angrily, "She didn't even come to the city to see Xiaoling. I don't know what she was thinking. How can she be a mother like this? What Xiaoling did was not a small matter. I feel sad when I hear it."

Ma Wan's brows were also knitted, "What can we do? We have no other options except to pay more attention to Xiaoling and persuade Xu Fang more."

"That Ji Ke, there weren't so many troubles at home when he wasn't back."

"If everyone thinks like you, there will be no bad people." Rong Silin smiled, and the depression in his heart dissipated. "You are right, I am just impulsive. I can't make Xiaoling's life miserable just to vent my anger."

As soon as the two of them left, Ji Yong arrived on the other side.

He came from another road and did not see Rong Silin and Ma Wan, so he went straight to Xu's house.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening and almost everyone in the compound was asleep.

When Ji Yong arrived at Xu's house, he knocked on the door quietly for fear of startling the neighbors.

I thought if the door didn't open for a while, I would knock again, but the door opened right after I knocked. It was Xu Wangting who opened it.

Ji Yong was surprised, but he still greeted her first, "Brother."

Xu Wangting nodded, "Come here."

Ji Yong followed him into the house and found that no one in the family was asleep and the lights in the living room were on. He looked at everyone curiously and found that everyone looked tired.

After Ji Yong came in, Xu Fang took a look and lowered her head again. Ji Ke, on the other hand, obediently called him "Dad".

"How is Xiaoling?" asked Father Xu.

"I'm at the hotel. I just settled down there. I thought I'd come and tell you, for fear that you would worry. The wound has been stitched up. You just need to apply medicine every day." Ji Yong did not mention having dinner with friends. He knew that his father-in-law did not like this kind of lifestyle.

Father Xu nodded, "I'm glad you're okay."

Then he said to Xu Fang, "It's getting late. You and Ji Yong should go back. Take Xiaoling home to live tomorrow. Tell her that she still has grandparents. She has relatives in the city."

The last sentence was already a harsh word, and it was also an order to Xu Fang.

Xu Fang didn't dare to object and followed Ji Yong. Ji Ke was also sent back to sleep by Xu's father.

Xu Wangting came out with Ji Yong and his wife.

At first, the three of them kept silent and walked out of the unit. When they were almost out of the community, Xu Wangting blamed the two of them, "How did you two take care of the child? Fortunately, nothing serious happened to the child, otherwise you would never get over it in your life."

Ji Yong admitted his mistake, but Xu Wangting didn't give him a good look. He went home after leaving the community.

Since there were no outsiders around, Ji Yongcai asked, "Is there a conflict at home?"

Xu Fang explained the whole story in a calm and unwavering voice, as if she was narrating someone else's family affairs.

After she finished speaking, without waiting for her husband's comfort, Xu Fang pursed her lips and said, "Do you also think I did something wrong?"

Ji Yong said, "I am wrong. Well, let's stop talking and go back to the hotel. Xiaoling sleeps a lot during the day and may not be asleep at this time."

Xu Fang hesitated after hearing this.

To be honest, after tossing and turning for a day and a night, she was numb.

Even though she didn't respond, Ji Yong could guess what she was thinking. To be honest, he felt relieved.

The couple walked towards the hotel. There were no pedestrians on the street at night, and it was quiet with only the two of them.

As they were about to cross the horse path and see the hotel on the opposite side, a car headlights suddenly shone towards them in the darkness. The couple raised their hands to cover their faces because of the strong light. By the time they realized something was wrong, the truck had already rushed over.

Xu Fang only felt that she was pushed out by her husband. Her body swayed as she watched her husband being hit by the truck. With a bang, the truck hit the person and drove away quickly.

There was only the husband who was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground, and the dark night.
