âDonât say that. The children have a good relationship and your Xinyiâs grades are so good. If Yuanyuan and Jingyi stay with her, their academic results might even improve.â
âDonât worry,â Deng Juan quickly said. âIâll go back and tell Xinyi to help Yuanyuan and Jingyi with their studies. This child has loved to study since he was young. I never have to worry about him. Thereâs no other advantage, but that heâs good at studying.â
Li Xu nodded. âAlso, with me and Jingyiâs mother around, if you want to go home and do something, you can go. Donât worry, weâll take care of Xinyi.â
Deng Juan lowered her head. After a moment of silence, she looked at Li Xu awkwardly, âThen Iâll go back in the afternoon. I have to take care of everything at home.â
âAlright, donât worry.â Li Xu agreed immediately.
Ji Yuanyuan thought of something and waved at Deng Juan, âAuntie, come here. I have something to tell you.â
Deng Juan leaned over and placed her ear in front of Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan said something and Deng Juan nodded gratefully, â1 know. Thank you.â
Deng Juan returned to the ward and said a few more words to Fang Xinyi before leaving.
Hu Chunli was still in the hospital in the afternoon, so Li Xu and Deng Juan left together.
Knowing that Deng Juan did not have much money left, Li Xu took out all the money in her pocket and stuffed it into Deng Juanâs hands, âTake this money first. You have to take a bus back. When you have it, you can return it to me.â
Deng Juan did not refuse and took Li Xuâs money with a grateful expression, âBig Sister Li, thank you, thank you!â
Li Xu shook her head, âItâs fine. You can go back!â
Deng Juan got on the bus and left very quickly.
Li Xu rode her bicycle and carried Ji Yuanyuan home.
âMom, do you feel a special sense of accomplishment?â Ji Yuanyuan sat in the back seat and asked in a low voice while holding Li Xuâs waist.
âWhatâs wrong?â Li Xu was a little puzzled, âWhy would you say that?â
Ji Yuanyuan looked up at the blue sky and smiled, âYouâve saved a lot of people along the way. He provided them with jobs and taught them a skill. If it werenât for you, Grandpa and Grandma wouldnât have earned so much money to marry such a good wife for First Uncle and Second Uncle. They could also provide for Youngest Aunt to go to university and graduate school. If it werenât for you, Auntie Hu might not have had the courage to divorce Jingyiâs father and live a good life.â
âAuntie is the same. If it werenât for you teaching her the technique of planting greenhouses. She didnât have money on hand and couldnât be tough at all. Perhaps she was still suffering in the Wei family! You gave her a job and gave her and Fang Xinyi a chance to settle down in the city and escape from their original family.â
Ji Yuanyuan counted with her fingers and finally came to a conclusion for Li Xu, âMom, youâre really a great person.â
A person who could change his own fate might not be considered great.
However, a person who could change the fate of others must be a great person.
Li Xu smiled and shook her head, âThatâs not true. Along the way, Mom has also been helped by others. You see, we started off rich because of you. Later on, 1 met your father and Grandma Liang. Now that we have the ability, isnât it only right for us to help others?â
When they came across a slope, Li Xu stared at the bicycle with all her might.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan jumped off the bicycle and pushed her behind her.
âBesides, did you only see me helping them and not what they gave me in return?â
After climbing the slope, Ji Yuanyuan jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle.
âMommy, I like you so much!â She giggled.
Li Xu felt warm in her heart. She smiled but didnât say anything.
In Xu Village, Deng Juan led the police officers around and finally stopped in front of a tile-roofed house.
Deng Juan pointed at the house and said excitedly, âOfficer, itâs this family. He gave my in-laws 5,000 yuan to buy my daughter. On the day of the wedding, everyone in the village saw it. Fortunately, they were interrupted midway and my daughter was saved.â
A few policemen stood in front of the house. One of them went forward and knocked on the door.
After knocking a few times, an impatient voice finally came from inside, âWho is it? You disturbed my sleep!â
The policeman did not speak until the door was opened. The leading policeman then said, âPolice!â
Seeing this, the man subconsciously wanted to run into the house.
Two police officers came forward and immediately pressed him to the ground.
Deng Juan felt nauseous as she looked at the man.
Such an ugly man actually dared to have such thoughts about her daughter.
Fortunately, Ji Yuanyuan and the rest came in time that day.
At the thought of this, Deng Juan felt even more grateful to Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan had told her the location that day.
She was really happy that her daughter had two good friends.
When Deng Juan returned to the hospital, it was already Tuesday.
For the past few days, she had been going back to the countryside during the day. In the evening, she would ride the broken bicycle that Fang Xinyi used to go to school before returning to the hospital.
The village was dozens of kilometers away from the city. She spent nearly four hours on the road every day.
When she returned to the hospital on Tuesday with a smile on her face, Li Xu knew that everything was probably settled.
Deng Juan was also someone who could not hide anything. Before Li Xu could ask, Deng Juan mysteriously took out a small cloth bag and showed it to Li Xu.
âBig Sister Li, my luck is really good. While the police took the old lady and the others away, I sold the land they occupied. 1 also sold the homestead in the village. I sold it for more than 5,000 yuan. Great, you donât have to lend me money anymore.â
Looking at the thick stack of money in the bag, Li Xu reminded, âGo to the bank and deposit the money later. What if someone targets you with so much money?â
Deng Juan smiled shyly and nodded, âI was very careful along the way. No one saw me. But Big Sister Li, youâre right. Iâll go later.â
Fang Xinyi, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked worried, âMom, you sold our family? Then where are we staying? Moreover, thatâs the place where we lived with her Fatherâ¦â
It was filled with memories of her father!
Thinking of this, Fang Xinyiâs eyes reddened.
Deng Juan saw this and quickly went forward, âSilly child. Your father is no longer around. If we stay in the village, we will only be bullied.â
If her in-laws were good, at least she had someone to back her up.
However, her parents-in-law were worse than strangers.
Even strangers knew how to treat the mother and daughter well..
