Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Mother Lin was still angry: "You can't treat us as fools, right?"

Xu Wanning shrugged: "Maybe they think so. Even now, they may still think in their hearts that Lin Quan will be a member of their family sooner or later!"

The lower the educational level, the more ignorant one is.

This truth was revealed in the Zhao family, the Mi family, and even many people in the village, but it was most vividly demonstrated in the Zhao family.

Xu Wanning raised her wrist and checked the time. "It's past eleven. Let's get some food first. By the time we're done eating, most people will have left. Then we'll set off for the county town."

There were still a lot of things we brought from home, and the three adults didn’t have much appetite, so they just ate a simple meal.

Lin's mother baked some more pancakes and put them away, ready to eat on the train.

Seeing that there were still some valuable things like meat left, Lin's mother thought about it and gave them to Aunt Cheng next door.

Aunt Cheng saw Mother Lin come in with a sad face, and hurriedly took her hand to sit down, and poured her a cup of hot ginger tea, "Don't take the Zhao family's affairs to heart, you will be returning to Beijing soon anyway, don't let this family affect your good mood for the New Year."

Mother Lin nodded: "Aning has already bought the train ticket, we will return to Beijing tomorrow."

"So early?" Aunt Cheng was surprised, but she quickly reacted: "That's right, I heard Wan Ning say before that Lin An will be able to finish his mission before the New Year and spend the New Year with you."

Mother Lin thought that Lin An had gone out on a mission, and it was uncertain whether he could return before the New Year.

But it is true that Xu Wanning wants to rush home to reunite with the Xu family. It is said that during this year's Chinese New Year, the two children from Aunt Aning's family will bring their partners back to meet their parents at the same time. Xu Wanning must be there on such occasions.

But there is no need to say these words to Aunt Cheng.

After sitting at Aunt Cheng's house for a while and leaving her things, Lin's mother went home.

As for their plan to go to the county today, she didn't even tell Aunt Cheng. After all, this matter had to be done quietly.

When Lin's mother returned home, Xu Wanning and Lin Quan had already packed everything, and the children were ready to go.

Before leaving the house, Lin Quan deliberately looked outside through the gap in the courtyard gate. Sure enough, the Zhao siblings were still guarding there.

Although they all knew that the Zhao family and the Lin family were enemies, the Lin family was most likely unwilling to save Zhao Tiejun.

But what if?

The Lin family are all well-known and prestigious people, and such people care most about reputation and face.

If they keep guarding here, the Lin family will definitely feel embarrassed and give in.

The idea was good, but they still underestimated Xu Wanning.

"Then the brother and sister are still guarding the door?"

Lin Quan nodded and sighed, "I see that the clothes they are wearing are not very thick, and I don't know how long they have been wearing the cotton shoes on their feet. They don't feel warm at all. And they have been in the snow for so long, I guess the cold air has entered their bodies."

Xu Wanning glanced at her: "Are you heartbroken?"

"How is that possible! They are not my children, why should I feel so bad?" But Lin Quan was not so confident, "I just think that they are children after all."

"Yes, they are children after all, but staying here is their own choice, or they are forced by the Zhao family. It has nothing to do with us."

"Quanquan, I know you are kind and you can't bear to see the two children suffer. But even if you are kind, your kindness should be shown at the right time and not casually, because you don't know whether you are helping a human, a wolf, or a poisonous snake."

Kindness is shown to those who need it, but not all the time. Those people are saints.

But Xu Wanning hates the Virgin Mary.

Lin Quan didn't want to help the two children, she just felt a little distressed from a mother's perspective.

But Xu Wanning was right. The Zhao family was their blood relative, and if the Zhao family members didn't care about something, why should she, an outsider, interfere?

"It looks like the brother and sister can't leave for the time being, but we can't postpone our plans because of them. Let's just go out the back door."

Although going out through the back door requires a detour, it allows you to avoid the Chen siblings.

They arrived at the county town smoothly all the way. Xu Wanning found a guesthouse near the train station and booked two rooms. Xu Wanning and Song Han and Jinchu stayed in one room, and Lin's mother Lin Quan and Chu Nian and Chu Lin stayed in another room.

In the evening, the group did not go out for dinner, but just had a simple meal in the guesthouse.

Everything went smoothly until the next morning, and they finally boarded the train back to Beijing.

Three days later, the group finally arrived in Beijing.

Xu Maoying picked up the three people at the station.

"Third Aunt said that you just came back from Heilongjiang Province, so don't go home today, go directly to her house for dinner." Xu Maoying borrowed a car, holding Jinchu's hand with one hand and carrying the luggage with the other.

He stuffed the luggage into the trunk of the car and pulled Jin Chu into the car.

"Don't bother. We have everything at home. We can just go back and get something to eat." Mother Lin said hurriedly.

Xu Maoying said, "It's not a big deal. Aunt San has already prepared everything. Aunt Lin, please don't be polite. I have other things to do when I get home today."

After hearing what Xu Maoying said, Lin's mother no longer insisted.

The car sped along the road and soon arrived at the military compound.

After returning home, Xu Wanning first said hello to her family and then made a phone call.

The call was naturally made to Director Chen, inquiring about Zhao Tiejun's news.

"The day after you left, the verdict on Zhao Tiejun was made public. He was executed yesterday. This incident caused quite a stir in Ji City. After all, it was the first case. With the example of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, I guess no one will dare to risk their lives to commit a crime in the future."

When talking about this, Director Chen sighed.

He had heard about the crackdown before, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly and with such force.

"Then is the Zhao family making trouble again?"

Xu Wanning had asked Director Chen to help keep an eye on the Zhao family's affairs, so when he heard Xu Wanning ask this, Secretary Chen was able to answer her question immediately.

"The Zhao family thought that there was still room for maneuver in Zhao Tiejun's case, so they used a lot of connections. But how could the orders from above be easily changed just because of a few people? I heard from the head of your Dajiang Village that Zhao Tiejun's sister-in-law is having a hard time at home now. The Zhao family unanimously believes that Zhao Tiejun's situation is caused by her, the sister-in-law."

"Also, Zhao Tiejun's two children... the Zhao family is already contacting buyers. They plan to sell the two children."

"Sell? They sell children openly?"
