Huang Xiaojuan gritted her teeth and looked around. There was nothing else in the living room except the TV and the sewing machine. Huang Xiaojuan suddenly thought of something and rushed into the master bedroom.
The expensive items she imagined were not turned over, and she just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment she found that their bed was wrinkled, obviously someone had slept in it, with ropes and a knife still on it, and obvious bloodstains on the sheets, and a photo placed in the middle of the bed.
Huang Xiaojuan's first reaction was that those hooligans broke into the house and ruined Xia Mian, so she couldn't wait to pick up the photo.
After seeing the contents clearly, he was so shocked that he let go of his hand and couldn't help but lean forward and retched.
The photo fell to the ground, north side facing up, with the same arrogant font as the one next to the redemption slip: They like your bed very much and think it is a good base for a date. It is hidden and will not arouse suspicion. Be mentally prepared.
There is another line of small words below: I took these photos secretly, it’s best not to let others know, otherwise you will be silenced if they find out.
Huang Xiaojuan broke down again. Looking at the situation on the bed again and thinking about the two men rolling around on her bed, she wanted to throw the entire bed away.
However, she felt sad and couldn't bear to part with even the bed and sheets.
After Huang Xiaojuan threw all the sheets into the washing machine and boiled hot water in a large pot, she planned to disinfect them thoroughly when she suddenly realized that Xuanxuan had not moved for a long time.
Anyone who has been a mother knows that if a baby is silent, it means something is wrong.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Huang Xiaojuan couldn't help but scream when she ran out and saw what Xuanxuan was holding: "Xuanxuan! What are you doing? Throw it away!"
Xuanxuan was frightened, and he applied force with his fingers, and the milk bug that was just squirming suddenly exploded. Huang Xiaojuan's scalp exploded in an instant, "Xuanxuan!!!"
Xuanxuan was frightened again, took a step back and sat on the ground. Huang Xiaojuan looked at the densely packed corpses of maggots: …
A moment later, Huang Xiaojuan's terrified scream rang out from the floor below...
After Huang Xiaojuan threw away the snakeskin bag, she felt exhausted, but her nerves were unconsciously tense, for she was afraid that something unknown was waiting for her.
Although he was in his own home, he lived like a frightened bird.
She was so scared that she almost jumped when the phone rang. Zhang Qiming was already on the return train today and there was no way he could contact her.
She was worried that it was those two disgusting thugs and didn't want to answer the call, but if she didn't answer it she was afraid that the other party would come directly to her.
Finally, I picked up the phone amid the persistent ringing:
"I'm here, hurry up and bring your passbook out!" It was the voice of the eldest brother Huang Xiaojun.
Huang Xiaojuan first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned slightly and remembered that she had promised to give her eldest brother five thousand yuan.
"Brother, you see, something's going on at home. Can we talk about it in a couple of days?" She already felt a little regretful.
The previous 5,000 yuan had not been repaid yet, and now she had lent out another 5,000 yuan. This was not a small amount of money. If she couldn't pay it back, Zhang Qiming would probably beat her to death.
"I'm here now," Huang Xiaojun came over without even saying hello, just to guard against her.
"Didn't you say yesterday that no one called the police and that girl was just trying to scare people? Hurry and get out with your passbook."
Huang Xiaojuan was still a little hesitant, and Huang Xiaojun added fuel to the fire, "Zhang Qiming will be home at five o'clock in the afternoon, right? I'll meet him then?"
"Don't!" Huang Xiaojuan said anxiously.
Zhang Qiming hated the Huang family so much. If the Huang family dared to appear in front of him inadvertently, Zhang Qiming would go into a cold war with Huang Xiaojuan for a month. During that month, she would not only be beaten, but also live like a dog.
"Yeah, it's not your money anyway, why do you feel bad about it?" Huang Xiaojun yelled.
How come it's not her money? Huang Xiaojuan had long regarded the money as her own, but she also knew that her eldest brother was a rogue, so she finally sighed and emphasized, "You must return it to me before the end of the month!"
"Don't worry," Huang Xiaojun said confidently, "The stock market has plummeted today, so it's a good time to cover your position. Not only can I pay you back 10,000 yuan by the end of the month, I can also give you 2,000 yuan in interest!"
Huang Xiaojuan thought about the nearly 1,400 yuan on the redemption slip, and finally nodded and agreed with a hopeful thought.
Huang Xiaojuan took Xuanxuan and Huang Xiaojun to meet up and went to a nearby bank together. Huang Xiaojuan habitually queued at the same place as last time.
However, he didn't notice that the teller's eyes behind the wire mesh immediately fixed, and his glances spread one after another.
The lost and found window was relatively empty, and the middle-aged teller left for a short while.
Soon it was Huang Xiaojuan's turn. She handed over her passbook and said, "Withdraw six thousand."
This time she knew that the bank had a maximum daily limit.
Xiao Wu swiped the passbook and found it was indeed the one that had been reported lost. She gave the person behind her a subtle look but asked calmly, "Who is the name of the account holder of this passbook?"
Normally, one could withdraw the money with the passbook and password. How could Huang Xiaojuan know Xia Mian's mother's name
Huang Xiaojun saw that Xiao Wu was moving slowly, and asked anxiously, "Why are you asking this? We are just going to withdraw money."
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Brother, there is a fixed term payment due on this passbook, with an interest of over 300 yuan. We need to confirm the information."
When they heard that there was money, they immediately felt sorry. Huang Xiaojun said, "Don't worry about that for now, just get it for us."
Xiao Wu said, "Then the three hundred plus are gone."
Huang Xiaojuan felt a pang of pain, as Zhang Qiming must know the name, but she came secretly to withdraw the money and did not dare to ask.
Huang Xiaojun didn't care, "Well, no, hurry up and get it!"
"Okay." Xiao Wu said with a smile, "Six thousand is a large amount. I don't have enough money now. Please wait a moment."
Huang Xiaojun couldn't help but complain, "Why are there so many things?!"
There were indeed a lot of things to do. They were asked a lot of information about their passbooks, even including the point of opening an account, but neither of them could answer a single question.
Just as I was getting impatient, the police broke in.
Zhang Qiming had just returned home, not only was he unable to enter the house, he was also told that Huang Xiaojuan had been arrested for stealing other people's property for a large amount of money, and she was with her child at the time, so he asked him to go to the police station to pick up Xuanxuan.
Because Zhang Qiming was on the road at the time and could not be contacted, the police station had to contact his workplace and ask them to pick up the child first.
As a result, the entire Huagang Family Compound knew that Huang Xiaojuan was going to go to jail for stealing Xia Mian's savings book.
Zhang Qiming went to find Gao Yongfeng with a gloomy face.
After Gao Yongfeng inquired about the matter, he replied, "Brother, I can't help you this time. This is not a matter of beating a child. Your sister-in-law was arrested directly at the bank. The theft involved more than 30,000 yuan. Officer Xiao Ding can't make the decision."
Zhang Qiming frowned, "That passbook was given to her by my aunt, how can it be considered theft?"
Gao Yongfeng said, "The bankbook had been reported lost a long time ago, and they said they had lost the money at the time. But my sister-in-law took the lost bankbook to withdraw money. She knew the password, but she didn't know the name of the account holder, or even the bank where the bankbook was issued. Of course, the bank called the police directly."
“The bank called the police, and the police had to investigate. Because it was a big fuss at the time and your unit knew about it, even Director Gao was in a difficult position.
Gao Yongfeng reminded him, "I think your aunt will have to personally admit that the passbook was given to her before they can let you go."
At this point, Gao Yongfeng couldn't help but say, "Your aunt is quite troublesome. In just a few days, my sister-in-law has been in prison twice..."
Zhang Qiming's face sank, and he decided to go to the police station to pick up Xuanxuan first, and by the way, take out Huang Xiaojuan's personal belongings, mainly the key to the new lock.
Because Gao Yongfeng had called, the person who came out was Police Officer Ding. His attitude was quite good and he also informed them of some progress in the case. "The police have contacted the owner of the lost passbook."
"The other party did say that he had lost his passbook and couldn't find it. When she reported the loss, she found that she had lost 6,000 yuan. She was very anxious at the time, but she didn't know what to do. The bank staff felt sorry for her and said that if the other party wanted to withdraw money again, they would help call the police."
"So your wife was caught red-handed."
Zhang Qiming said, "This is impossible. My aunt gave her the passbook to use for school admission. How could six thousand be missing?"
The police officer said, "You don't know? It should be lent to Huang Xiaojuan's elder brother Huang Xiaojun."
"I went to the bank this time because I wanted to give him money."
"But Huang Xiaojun just borrowed money, which has nothing to do with this matter, so I just mentioned it."
At this point, Officer Ding couldn't help but complain, "He is the child's uncle after all, but you didn't care when I asked you to help take the child home, and you just ran away in a hurry. You are such a bad uncle."
When Zhang Qiming heard about this, he wanted to tear the Huang family apart. Even if Huang Xiaojun took the child and threw him at the door, it would be better than letting the police station call the workplace and let everyone know!
And Huang Xiaojuan...
Zhang Qiming stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Officer Ding's pocket and said, "This is really a misunderstanding. You should know that my wife and my little aunt are not on good terms. This is a fight between the two of them..."
Police Officer Ding took the cigarette and said a little more, "Whether there is a fight or not, Huang Xiaojuan is guilty of theft. Unless the owner admits that she did not steal it, your wife will have to serve at least three years in prison... Alas!"
Xiao Ding caught something out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly left Zhang Qiming behind, turned toward the stairs, and enthusiastically greeted the handsome man coming down from upstairs, "Doctor Ning is coming!"
Ning Shao nodded at him, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Ding was flattered, "It's not hard at all."
Someone in the office next door heard the noise and came out. It was the deputy director of the police station. "Has Doctor Ning finished his questioning?"
Doctor Ning stopped and spoke a few words to the other party.
Zhang Qiming looked at the enthusiastic expressions of these policemen who usually had fierce faces, and looked at Police Officer Ding.
However, the loose-lipped police officer Ding had no intention of revealing anything, and urged, "Take the child back quickly. Your wife has irrefutable evidence and may be sent to the detention center tomorrow. You'd better hurry up."
When Xia Mian received the call from Zhang Qiming, she had just finished cleaning up her second uncle Xia as usual.
It's really not that I don't want to do it once and for all because of summer hibernation.
The main reason is that people like Second Uncle Xia are quite different from those vicious bastards like Zhang Qiming and Huang Xiaojuan.
He doesn't dare to do anything big and bad, but when he does something small he has to put on a smiling face and cover it up, which is very annoying, but not to the point where anyone would take action.
Xia Mian couldn't bring himself to do anything ruthless, so he could only "do one good deed a day" to deal with this family of little villains.
The revenge for breaking the glass on the first day had not yet been resolved, and on the second day, Uncle Xia returned to his old ways. Because Xia Mian was at home packing up her things, he came over several times a day to visit her.
"After going to the market, Mianmian has really grown up. She even knows to bring gifts to her aunt. We don't want yours. Isn't your grandmother closer to you than your aunt? Why don't you think of your grandmother?"
While speaking, his eyes kept glancing towards the cabinet behind Xia Mian.
Xia Mian was so annoyed that she pushed everyone out and locked them outside and didn't let them in. But Qiangqiang was still restless and came to find Xiaofeng soon.
Children like to play with other children, so Xiaofeng does not reject Qiangqiang,
The reason why Qiangqiang kept looking for Xiaofeng was because he found that as long as he could take Xiaofeng with him and make Xiaofeng laugh, his father and uncles would not beat him even if he did something stupid.
He immediately treated Xiao Feng as his gold medal that would protect him from being beaten, and took her with him wherever he went.
Under the influence of the outgoing Qiangqiang, Xiaofeng gradually relaxed, and occasionally couldn't help but go out for a run with Qiangqiang, which Xia Mian naturally enjoyed.
The downside is that we can’t stop the shameless Uncle Xia.
At that time, Xia Mian was organizing her textbooks. Her parents studied at Yanshi Normal University, and this generation still planned to take the entrance exam to her alma mater, but the times were different, and the knowledge points were also different. She needed to learn some things again, so she planned to review all the high school textbooks.
Second Uncle Xia came in from the back, angrily, "Mianmian, our little treasure is in great pain, weren't you too cruel that day?"
Xia Mian looked up at him and said calmly, "I can actually be more ruthless. Do you want him to try again?"
Second Uncle Xia choked, "How did your child become like this? I have to ask Zhang Qiming. He has corrupted a good child."
"Okay." Xia Mian said, "The round-trip fare is estimated to be 60 yuan. Please help me pay for the food expenses. After all, you are my uncle."
Uncle Xia paused and said, "We'll talk about this when you go to school."
Then he taught Xia Mian cunningly, "He also asked you to pay for food? He should take care of you after he took you here. Besides, how much can a little girl like you eat? He is a worker, how can he be short of your food? Don't be stupid and pay it. Your mother didn't leave you any money, did she?"
Xia Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he continued, "The money you save is just right for showing filial piety to your elders. Your parents are gone, so why don't you pick it up from the favors you have?"
I still remember the gift she gave to Uncle Xia's family. Anyway, in short, it was just a roundabout way to ask for things.
Seeing that Xia Mian still ignored him, Second Uncle Xia said directly, "Xiaobao went to see a doctor today because of pain in his lower body. The doctor said that he was a little weak and that he just needed to drink more nutritional supplements. I think the milk powder you brought back is pretty good. You bought it in a big city. We don't have it here. Bring me a can and I'll give you the money."
If you believe him, there must be something fishy going on. If you let Second Uncle Xia take money out of his pocket, he will be killed.
"Xiao Feng only has one can, and he wants more."
Second Uncle Xia immediately said, "Xiao Feng is almost five years old, why is he still eating milk powder? He needs to eat to grow well. Look at how skinny the child is, it's just because he drinks milk powder..."
Xia Mian was so annoyed with him. Qiangqiang just ran in with Xiaofeng from outside and shouted, "Mian Gu, Xiaofeng wants to eat bananas!"
Xiao Feng followed behind, inexplicably taking the blame for Qiang Qiang, but she didn't dare to say that he didn't say it, and she didn't want to be misunderstood by her aunt, so she frowned and said anxiously, "Aunt."
Xia Mian knocked on Qiangqiang's head and said, "If you want to eat, just say so yourself. Why are you dragging Brother Xiaofeng into this?"
Xiao Feng's expression relaxed. He hugged Xia Mian's legs and smiled, "Aunt."
"Yeah." Xia Mian leaned over and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "What did you play with your brother?"
Xiao Feng's eyes sparkled, "Catch the cicada monkey!"
"Wow, Xiao Feng was caught too?" Xia Mian was a little surprised. It had only been two days, and Xiao Feng had grown braver.
Xiao Feng looked at Qiang Qiang and said, "Brother, catch it for me."
Xia Mian patted Qiangqiang's head, "Not bad, you know how to protect your brother."
Qiangqiang opened his mouth that had lost a tooth, grabbed Xia Mian's legs and shook them, "Mian-gu, banana! Banana!"
"Okay, here are some bananas for you."
Xia Mian turned to the counter to get a banana and noticed someone behind him.
When I turned around, it was indeed Uncle Xia who followed me.
He stretched his head to take a look and said disapprovingly, "You are just an ignorant kid. This thing is expensive and can't be put away. Why did you buy so many?"
"Break off a few for me and bring them back for your Second Aunt and Xiaobao to try. Otherwise, they will just be thrown away. What a waste."
Xia Mian closed the cabinet, rolled his eyes and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Xiao Feng and I both love to eat this. We finished it in one day!"
"If you eat too many bananas, you'll have diarrhea! Children don't know anything. They have to listen to adults."
Second Uncle Xia stretched out his hand to reach for the cabinet. Xia Mian stretched out his hand a little, and Second Uncle Xia's whole arm went numb. He was shocked and said, "My arm?!"
Xia Mian locked the cupboard and handed a banana to Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng respectively.
Qiangqiang looked at Second Uncle Xia warily, then pulled Xiaofeng and said, "Hey, let's go home and eat. Grandma's cicada monkey must be fried. It's especially delicious!"
Xiao Feng glanced at Xia Mian, and Xia Mian smiled and said, "Go ahead, Auntie will be there soon."
Xiao Feng was still hesitating when Qiangqiang had already grabbed him and ran outside, "Hurry up, or your uncle will eat you."
Seeing the two children running out, Second Uncle Xia didn't care about what happened just now, and asked another question, "How much money did Zhang Qiming give the children to follow you back?"
Xia Mian said, "Is it your business? Go back quickly!"
Uncle Xia turned a deaf ear and continued, "Raising a child costs a lot of money. Xiao Feng's surname is Zhang, so he should be raised by someone with the surname Zhang. Don't be stupid and pay for it. Have you given him a hundred yuan?"
Xia Mian laughed angrily, "No, just fifty yuan, okay, go back quickly, don't you want to eat? I don't have any food for you."
"How many days are you staying? If you stay for ten days or so, fifty dollars will be enough." Uncle Xia continued to talk to himself, "Didn't you bring back a lot of things?"
"Milk powder, biscuits, candies and so on are enough for him to eat. Don't buy bananas and other expensive things."
"By the way, give me some milk powder and biscuits. Those are good things only in big cities. We don't sell them here. Uncle will buy them from you."
The conversation finally came back to the topic. Xia Mian became completely impatient and pushed him out. "Go back quickly. If we don't sell the food, we won't have enough to eat!"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing! Girl, how could you eat so much? Your parents have asked me, your uncle, to keep an eye on you."
Xia Mian ignored him and just pushed the person out.
Seeing that he was about to return empty-handed again, Second Uncle Xia became completely anxious and put his foot against the frame. "Alright, alright, I don't need you to give me anything."
"Really? Can I borrow your knife? If you don't give me anything, I can only kill a chicken for Xia Bao."
"Your knife is sharp and easy to use. You eat at your uncle's house every day, so you don't need a knife."
After all, he is a man with great strength. Xia Mian could not push him away. Hearing this, he laughed angrily. Everyone knows that when Second Uncle Xia borrows something, he means he wants it back. Everyone within a radius of five hundred people knows that once something enters their house, it will never come out.
"You want to borrow a knife, right?" Xia Mian completely lost his patience. "You want to kill a chicken?"
Second Uncle Xia complained, "Our county is not like the city. You can't buy good things even if you have money. And you won't give it up, so I'd better kill a chicken to feed him."
So it's her fault after all, right
"Okay." Xia Mian turned around and went back to the kitchen, picked up the kitchen knife and came out.
"Yes, this one. The kitchen knife you have is very useful." His eyes were bright. It was hard for him to have been thinking about it for so long.
Second Uncle Xia stretched out his hand to take it, but saw Xia Mian nimbly swing the knife in a fancy way, clamping it directly under his armpit, and then locking his mouth.
Uncle Xia was stunned, "What are you going to do?"
Xia Mian ignored him and went straight to their house next door.
Second Uncle Xia said, "I say, kid, don't you have to bring something when you go to your elders' house?"
"I'm your uncle, so I won't argue with you, but you can't be rude. You still want to go to college, so you have to understand these basic things. Otherwise, what can you achieve in the future?"
"Come to think of it, you haven't seen your grandma since you came back, right? Your aunt even gave you such good milk powder, your grandma..."
Xia Mian became more and more annoyed by his nagging, so she pushed open Uncle Xia's wooden stick with a bang and ran straight to the chicken coop in the yard.
Second Aunt Xia, who was stealing the watermelon, hurriedly hid the watermelon back. When she came out again, Xia Mian had already accurately and ruthlessly caught the fattest laying hen in the chicken coop.
Seeing this, Second Aunt Xia screamed as if she was going to kill her, "What are you doing, you damn girl?!"
Second Uncle Xia was also getting mad with anxiety, "Xia Mian! Damn girl, what are you doing? Put it down now!"
When Xia Mian was a child, she saw her grandmother's family slaughtering chickens. She pinched the chicken's wings and slashed the chicken's neck with a knife. "Aren't you going to slaughter a chicken? Not only will I lend you the knife, I'll also help you. Just consider it as my filial piety to grandma!"
Bright red blood spurted out. It was the first time for Xia Mian to do this. Not only did the hen not die, it also struggled desperately. Xia Mian was so scared that he let go.
The crooked-necked hen clucked and rushed around the yard, spilling blood wherever it passed. Xia Mian was a little dumbfounded. Could the chicken's vitality be so tenacious
Before we determine whether chickens are hardy enough to hibernate, we have already determined that Uncle Xia is not hardy at all.
"Ah, blood, blood!" Uncle Xia almost fainted when he saw the hens flying everywhere.
Xia Mian thought he was afraid of blood, but then he heard Second Uncle Xia collapse and shout as if he had lost 100 million yuan, "Ah! My chicken, oh my, the chicken blood is all wasted!"
My eyes are so sad that tears welled up...
Second Aunt Xia was even more murderous, reaching out to grab Xia Mian, "You damn girl, compensate me for my hen!"
Xia Mian said, "My second uncle wanted to kill a chicken, and he also said that your knife was not easy to use, so I came to help. It would be fine if he didn't thank me, but he asked me to pay for it. What kind of logic is this?"
Seeing Second Aunt Xia’s face turning blue with anger, Xia Mian continued, “Next time you want to borrow a knife from me, tell me and I’ll help you kill. Next time you’ll have experience.”
He said to Uncle Xia, whose eyes were filled with tears, "Next time I will have experience, and I will make sure you bleed."
Second Uncle Xia took a breath and looked like he was about to roll his eyes. Xia Mian continued, "Second Uncle, are you not doing well? Is it possible that you can't stew the chicken? How about I stew it for you and bring it over? It will save you from wasting your family's firewood."
This is a threat, a □□ threat!
Second Aunt Xia was furious. "Who said to kill the chicken? Who said to kill it? I don't care. I didn't say to kill it. You have to compensate me for my old hen, or..."
"What else?" Xia Mian raised his chin, "You want to argue with my parents? Do you need me to send you to find my parents' tickets?"
"You!" Second Aunt Xia's face was dark and she was speechless. She immediately sat on the ground and cried, "Oh~ This is the good girl of the Xia family, and she actually cursed her uncle and aunt~"
Xia Mian covered his ears with a headache, "Okay, okay, I get it! I'll pay, I'll pay!"
She snatched the hen from Uncle Xia's hand, which had finally stopped moving due to excessive blood loss, and said, "I'll find a hen to replace it for you in a while."
Then, before they could react, he snatched it away.
Uncle Xia and his wife obviously didn't believe what they always said. Aunt Xia cursed loudly, and Uncle Xia hurriedly chased after them, "Xia Mian!"
As a result, as soon as I got out of the door, I heard a "crash" and the glass in the house broke again.
Turning around, she saw a group of children running away from the corner of their house. One of them even shouted, "Sister Mian, we are here to help you. Remember the candy!"
Xia Mian had already run to the door of Uncle Xia's house. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Well done. Remember to come pick it up this afternoon~"
Uncle Xia and his wife were so angry that they died...
Xia Mian carried the hen into Uncle Xia's house, "Aunt, we have delicious food today!"
"What's the delicious food?" Qiangqiang ran out with a cicada monkey in his mouth, "Wow, do you want to eat chicken?"
Xiao Feng followed him out, also chewing one in his mouth, but much more politely than Qiangqiang.
He saw Xia Mian happily running over, holding up his hand and handing her the fried golden cicada monkey, "Aunt, it's delicious."
Xia Mian looked at his greasy little mouth and smiled, "Xiao Feng, eat it yourself. This kid is good to eat. Auntie will make chicken for you!"
The eldest aunt poked her head out and asked, "Why did you bother them?" She obviously heard their argument.
Xia Chuan, who had just returned from work, saw Xia Mian carrying an old hen and asked in surprise, "Where did this come from?"
Xia Mian said happily, "My second uncle's house." Then she recounted what had happened.
After hearing this, Xia Chuan laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He gave Xia Mian a thumbs up and said, "Oh, Mian Mian, how come you are so smart now?"
Then he said to his aunt, "Mom, next time he comes to our house to borrow something, we'll do the same."
Xia Chuan said to Xia Mian, "You don't know. Last time I asked for cloth to cut for clothes, they said their scissors were too blunt, so I took my scissors and now I can't get them back. They always say they haven't used them up yet."
"Next time I'll go to their house and see which cloth has not been cut, and cut it all at once!" Xia Chuan became more and more excited as he thought about it, "I'll go there this afternoon!"
The aunt laughed and said, "Nonsense!"
Xia Haijin laughed when he heard this, "This is a good idea. Uncle Chengyao has always bullied Xia Mian's widowed mother and orphans. Now that only Mian Mian is left, it's even more excessive, so he really had to be ruthless. Mian Mian did a good job."
Xia Chuan said, "Yes, he is still thinking about the things Aunt Fang left for Mian Mian."
"Mianmian has to go to school now. If he dares to mess around, the Xia family will not forgive him. But when Mianmian graduates from high school, he will definitely be in trouble. I heard that woman has already started to inquire about her for Mianmian."
"Okay." Uncle Xia, who came out from the main room, frowned and stopped the two children.
Turning to Xia Mian, he said, "Don't worry. I just want you to study hard and get into college. Even your second uncle won't be able to reach you."
"Even if you fail the exam and want to review your studies, your second uncle and eldest uncle will help you stop them."
Xia Mian nodded, "Thank you, uncle. I will definitely go to college."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng grabbed Xia Mian's hand and said, "Aunt, I want to go to college too."
Qiangqiang jumped up with his hands raised, "I'm older than my brother, I'll go first!"
Uncle Xia's face wrinkled with smile, "Okay, okay, all of you go. If you can get into college, I will sell everything I have to support you!"
"Uncle Chengyao doesn't dare to act recklessly in big matters now, but he is also very annoyed with small matters every day. Yesterday he kept asking me about Xiaofeng's affairs. I don't know what he is up to. He wants to blackmail Zhang Qiming."
Xia Chuan sighed, "It would be great if Uncle Chengyao could torment Zhang Qiming. Isn't there a saying that goes "Every evildoer will be punished by his own evil"? It's just right for the two of them."
Xia Mian suddenly had an idea and clapped her hands, "Brother Chuan, you are so creative." She had a brilliant idea in her mind.
Zhang Qiming called at this time. He also knew that Xia Mian's home phone number was no longer available, so he called Uncle Xia's home directly.
"Mianmian, my brother-in-law just came back from a business trip. I just found out that Huang Xiaojuan did such a bastard thing. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. You should bring Xiaofeng back quickly."
"Brother-in-law has already found a tutor for you. School will start in less than a month, otherwise you will miss it."
The words were quite good. Xia Mian curled her lips and said, "I don't believe you. Last time you said you would make the decision for us, but what happened? Huang Xiaojuan became even more arrogant. You must have been silently supporting her."
"As for going to school, forget it. I'll just stay in my hometown. At least I can live a free and comfortable life here."
Zhang Qiming sighed helplessly, "If you don't want the money, your brother-in-law will have to return it to you."
"You're still fooling me." Xia Mian said disdainfully, "If you want to pay me back, why don't you give it back to me in person?"
"You just want me to go to the city hall to help Huang Xiaojuan get out of this crime! I'm telling you, don't even think about it, I'm going to send her to jail!"
"As for the money she owes me," Xia Mian sneered, "it doesn't matter whether she pays it back now or not. I've asked the police, and they've confirmed Huang Xiaojuan's crime of theft. The court will also order her to pay it back."
"Compared to you two black-hearted people, I trust your family more."
Zhang Qiming was silent for a while, and Xia Mian guessed that he was trying to adjust his mood.
Sure enough, Zhang Qiming sighed and said, "Xia Mian, I know you are angry, but don't joke about your own career."
"I know the admission rate of Mingxi County No. 1 Middle School very well. It takes a lot to get into a good university. Isn't my brother-in-law a ready-made example?"
"Look at Aunt Liu's son across the street. He is 10 years older than her brother-in-law. He went to a good university and started out as an office employee right after he entered the company. In just a few years, he has become the director of the purchasing department."
"There are many people in the factory who are his age, but they don't have as high education as him, and their chances of promotion are far behind him. They are currently earning less than a thousand yuan a month!"
"Brother-in-law really didn't expect Huang Xiaojuan to be so excessive. Brother-in-law really trusted her too much."
"I will never do anything like this again, brother-in-law promises! If she dares to bully you again, brother-in-law will divorce her!"
He was probably afraid that Xia Mian would say something that would make his blood pressure soar, so he didn't give Xia Mian a chance to speak, and kept saying, "Brother-in-law doesn't want to side with her this time."
"The main thing is that if she goes to jail, our whole family won't be able to hold our heads up, and my brother-in-law might even lose his job."
"If it really comes to that, Xiaofeng, you and Xuanxuan, your brother-in-law won't be able to control them even if he wants to."
"Brother-in-law really hopes that you can go to a good school to pick up Xiao Feng!"
It can be said that her advice was sincere and to the point, but unfortunately Xia Mian was not an ignorant girl.
She said, "I don't care. Anyway, I'm afraid of you and I don't plan to live under someone else's roof. At worst, I won't study and go to work to support Xiaofeng to go to college."
"Anyway, Huang Xiaojuan is so vicious, it's best for her to go to jail. It's embarrassing or not, but you and I are not from the same family, so what does it have to do with me?"
Zhang Qiming said so much, but he didn't expect Xia Mian to still not listen. He felt a lump in his throat.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his temper, "Xia Mian, you have called me brother-in-law for so many years. Do you really have the heart to see me unable to raise my head? Brother-in-law believes that you are not such a heartless child."
"You're wrong. I just have no conscience." Xia Mian said, "So I can't control you. I'm lucky enough that I can control myself."
Zhang Qiming was finally irritated. When he spoke again, his tone was slightly heavy and his words were no longer calm. "Xia Mian, don't forget that Xiao Feng is my son. You took him away without telling me, which is considered kidnapping!"
Xia Mian immediately said aggrievedly, "So, are you threatening me now? You said something good for me before, but it turned out to be a lie..."
Zhang Qiming's knuckles were clenched as he held the microphone. He wouldn't listen to nice words, wouldn't tolerate angry words, wouldn't believe promises, and even turned the tables. He had no idea that Xia Mian was so difficult to deal with.
But he could not coax her.
"Brother-in-law is really too anxious." Zhang Qiming's voice was choked with sobs, "Xia Mian, Xiao Feng is my son, I want him to receive a better education, you are being irresponsible to him!"
"Ignoring his abuse means being responsible for him?" Xia Mian originally wanted to quit while he was ahead, but when he heard this, he got angry again, "I'm afraid he won't live to see the day he gets an education in your house!"
"I've already said no!" Zhang Qiming seemed to have hit upon something. He suddenly raised his voice, then quickly lowered it again. "Can you please trust me again? If you do it again, I will never embarrass you again!"
Xia Mian also felt that it was about time. "Okay, I'll trust you again, but you have to write a letter of guarantee. If you abuse Xiao Feng again in the future, Xiao Feng's household registration will be moved back to the Xia family!"
Zhang Qiming said cheerfully, "Okay! No problem. It's just that my brother-in-law trusted Huang Xiaojuan too much. He will never do that again."
"Okay." Xia Mian hung up the phone.
"What does he want to do?" asked Uncle Xia.
"Huang Xiaojuan stole my passbook to withdraw money and was caught," Xia Mian sneered, "and now she came to me and said she wanted to take Xiaofeng and me back."
"What?!" Xia Chuan asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Xia Mian told Huang Xiaojuan about how she cheated him of her passbook.
Uncle Xia said, "Girl, why didn't you tell me earlier about such a big thing?!"
"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'd worry?" Xia Mian said with a grin, "Now it's all resolved!"
Uncle Xia sighed, "It seems that your generation is really counting on this girl Xia Mian."
"What are you going to do next?" Xia Chuan also admired his cousin so much, you couldn't tell from her young age.
"They bully us so much, now they want something from us, they should be sincere enough." Xia Mian said, "Unless God comes to pick us up, we definitely can't go."
"When he comes up, it will be Second Uncle's turn to take action!"
"What can he do?" Xia Chuan asked excitedly.
"Help us get the custody of Xiao Feng." Xia Mian said with a smile, "With Zhang Qiming's financial ability, the monthly child support should be at least fifty yuan, until he turns 18 years old."
Xia Chuan laughed loudly, "It's most appropriate to leave this matter to Second Uncle Xia. He will definitely work hard until he succeeds."
Xia Hai also laughed, "I never thought that Uncle Chengyao would be of some use one day."
Uncle Xia looked angry, "You little brat, you deserve a beating, don't you? How dare you make up stories about your uncle."
Xia Hai made a face at Xia Chuan and didn't take it seriously.
Xia Mian couldn't help but laugh. She had personally tested Second Uncle Xia's fighting ability and it was very good.
She said that anyone who wanted to bully her would always have to pay a price, and Uncle Xia would consider it as interest to Zhang Qiming.
But after Zhang Qiming hung up the phone, he calmed down for a while, looked back at the empty TV cabinet, and couldn't help but kick the chest of drawers hard. The piercing pain finally made him calm down a little.
Then he picked up the phone again and dialed, and this time the call finally went through.
"Brother Long, it's me." Zhang Qiming said with a smile, "I'm here to trouble you..."
The person on the other end seemed to have finally realized who it was, and immediately cursed, "Fuck, Mr. Zhang, we didn't bother you because of Brother Gao, how dare you bother us?"
"I'm telling you, don't come to us for your problems anymore!"
Zhang Qiming's face looked very bad. It was obvious that the other party didn't do anything to Xia Mian at all, even though he had taken so much money from him!
What on earth did that girl Xia Mian do
Zhang Qiming said in a flattering tone, "I'm sorry to bother you guys, so I'll treat you to a meal. When will you and Brother Hu..."
The man on the other side seemed to have touched a nerve, and suddenly said excitedly, "No, no need! Anyway, don't look for us again in the future, otherwise your family will have a hard time!"
The call was hung up in a very imposing manner, but it seemed as if the person was avoiding something terrible. What on earth did Xia Mian do
However, Zhang Qiming did not have extra time to explore, as he only had two days of rest after his business trip.
Because of this incident, the director, who had taken the initiative to apply for the tough business trip, became dissatisfied with him again. He did not dare to ask for leave again and could only race against time to deal with family affairs.
But he didn't know that this was already a very easy thing. After all, Xia Mian had already loaded Second Uncle Xia and was just waiting for him to come.
