After leaving Lei Yan, Qiao Ran did not go back, but went to the village in the city where Jiang Zhilai rented.
When Qiao Ran arrived, he found that the house Jiang Zhilai was renting had been replaced by someone else, so he called her.
Jiang Zhilai was afraid that she would not be found, so he asked her to wait where she was while she came to pick up Qiao Ran.
When Jiang Zhilai and Qiao Ran pushed open the courtyard door and saw the dilapidated but clean bungalow in front of them, Qiao Ran was shocked.
"Zhilai, why did you move here?"
Three houses are covered with moss, and one house has a big hole in one corner. The house is very dilapidated, but the yard is divided into several vegetable plots, and some green vegetables are planted in them.
Some flowers were planted on the edge of each grid vegetable field to make the vegetable field look less monotonous and give it a pastoral garden feel.
"The rent used to be a bit expensive, and it was inconvenient for my uncle who lived on the third floor to go up and down the stairs. This is the first floor, and you can grow some vegetables to eat. Pingping and Lele can also play in the yard, which is more comfortable than there!"
In fact, they were kicked out by their landlord.
She looked for many houses in the village in the city, but no one was willing to rent them to them.
This house was an abandoned house filled with debris. Seeing that there was no place to live, Jiang Zhilai cleaned up the place and moved in.
After living there for a few days, no one chased them away. She cleared out the debris in the yard and tidied it up for several days before it looked like it could be seen by people now.
Jiang Zhilai knew that it was Qian Zhijie who was behind those people's refusal to rent her a house, and wanted her to beg him and surrender to him.
But she didn't want to cause trouble to Qiao Ran, so she deliberately said that the rent was expensive and inconvenient.
"Zhilai, thank you for your hard work. In fact, you don't have to live in such poverty. With your talent, if you are willing to work in my company, I will help you solve the accommodation problem."
Something happened to the Jiang family, and Jiang Zhilai changed from the daughter of a powerful man who was envied by everyone to a down-and-out rich man whose family was ruined overnight.
Qiao Ran knew that Jiang Zhilai was having a hard time after the family accident. When Jiang Zhilai was looking for a house with her children, Qiao Ran proposed that Jiang Zhilai work in her company.
But Jiang Zhilai was unwilling and said she would wait until everything stabilized and her children started school before planning to work.
Qiao Ran knew that Jiang Zhilai was a person with strong self-esteem, so he didn't deliberately help her.
And Qiao Ran also wanted to see if Jiang Zhilai could still maintain a calm and calm mind in a hugely different environment.
The fact is exactly what she thought. Even though life is in embarrassment, Jiang Zhilai still takes life seriously, does not deal with it, does not ask for help, and works hard to carry on.
Those flowers and vegetable fields are the best proof.
She did not give up on changing her life just because the environment she lived in was so ruined.
"School will start in a dozen days. Once I send Ping Ping Lele to school, I will look for a job. If I really can't find it, I'll trouble you again!"
In fact, Jiang Zhilai was already looking for a job. She submitted a lot of resumes but nothing came to mind. Even when she applied for waiter jobs that didn't require entry requirements, she was turned away.
She knew that the Jiang family was disruptive and secretly wanted to deal with many people who suppressed them, so she didn't say anything.
After all, there is an old man with two young children who need her to support.
She can't take her self-esteem too seriously.
"We don't want to go to that shabby old school, we want to go to the old aristocratic school!"
As a clear and unhappy boy's voice sounded, a stone hit Jiang Zhilai on the head.
Seeing this, Qiao Ran quickly stretched out his hand to catch the stone as big as an apple, looked at Pingping who was standing not far away with displeasure, and shouted in a serious voice: "Why are you hitting people with stones? Do you know that this is the case?"
If a big stone is hit on the head, it will kill someone? Do you want to try it too?"
As he spoke, Qiao Ran pretended to hit Pingping with a stone. At this moment, a slender girl with a worried face ran out and protected Pingping behind her.
"Auntie, please don't hit my brother. I will persuade him to stop hurting my third aunt!"
The girl has delicate features and picturesque eyebrows, and her eyes are somewhat similar to Jiang Yongzhu's.
Although it was the first time he met her, Han Mo also recognized her as Jiang Yongzhu's 12-year-old daughter Lele. Lele was born very tall, but she was already 1.6 meters tall at the age of 12. If it weren't for her childish face, people would think she was
He's an adult.
"If you want me not to hurt her, unless I die or she dies, as long as she lives for one day, I will find a way to kill her. She killed my mother, grandfather and great-grandfather, so I just want to kill her."
If it weren't for her, how could we have lived in such a miserable life? There was nothing delicious to eat, and cockroaches crawled on my face every day. I wanted to cut her into pieces!" Ping Ping looked at Jiang Zhilai with hatred in his eyes.
.
Lele said sadly with tears in her eyes: "Pingping, I have told you many times, mom and the others were punished because they made mistakes, and it has nothing to do with Third Aunt. You should not hurt Third Aunt with sneak attacks again.
Third aunt is our last resort. If you kill third aunt, we will become homeless orphans. Then you won’t even be able to sleep in a house with cockroaches, let alone have enough food and clothing.
Oh, sister, please, please don’t do what Third Aunt did again."
Judging from the investigation data, my sister Lele is a smart and kind-hearted person. Even though she was trained by Jiang Bingqiu since she was a child, like Jiang Zhilai, she remains kind and performs well in school.
Pingping, on the other hand, was a child raised crookedly by Jiang Bingqiu. He did things to bully his classmates at school at a young age.
He either pushed others into the water, locked his classmates in the toilet, and sometimes knocked out his classmates' teeth. School classmates would avoid him when they saw him. He was a proper little bully in the school.
Although he is young, he also knows that persimmons should be picked soft when pinched.
The people he bullied were all people with less power than the Jiang family. When the matter came to the teacher's attention, when the other parent saw Jiang Bingqiu and Jiang Bingqiu said a few words of apology, the other parent stopped pursuing the matter.
Over time, Ping Ping's viciousness developed.
Qiao Ran squinted his eyes and looked at Pingping. He was still young, so he wondered if there was any chance of rescue.
"I didn't apologize to her. I beat her to death, so I went to the juvenile detention center. The conditions there were much better than here. I didn't have to worry about not having food, there were no cockroaches crawling on my face, and no mice biting my toes.
When I am eighteen years old, I will be able to work and support myself." Ping Ping looked at Jiang Zhilai with a gloomy look.
This was not the first time Ping Ping had said these words, but every time he heard them, Jiang Zhilai's heart ached like a knife.
She only had two relatives left by her uncle and aunt, but her aunt's son regarded her as a murderer and wanted nothing more than to kill her.
A seven-year-old child threatened to kill her every day. He said he was not sad or sad, but that was a lie.
Qiao Ran looked at Ping Ping's cold eyes, his face filled with disbelief that a seven-year-old child could actually say such vicious words and even think of his own plan to kill someone.
I was thinking about rescuing this child before, but now it seems that this child cannot be rescued tenderly to save the country, but must be given a try of severe beatings from society.
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!" Qiao Ran looked at Pingping with cold eyes.
