Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 502 Hostages

The one who started cursing was a man with a rough voice. When Gu Qinghuan and others arrived, Lian Qiu Mang had already stood between the man and the boy who was being scolded.

"Why are you cursing?" Lian Qiumang's face looked unhappy. "Why don't you pack your things quickly?"

When he answered the phone, someone told him that the plants had been smashed. When he rushed over, the smashed plants were still lying on the ground and no one had cleaned them up.

Jiang Chuchu saw the jacaranda tree she had chosen at a glance. The main trunk was not broken, but several side branches were broken. It would be a horrible sight if she propped it up.

Yu Xin observed the situation and it seemed that when the bonsai were moved onto the electric tricycle, the parking spot was uneven and the center of gravity was unbalanced.

When the workers were moving the plants to the back, it tipped over and everything was smashed to pieces.

Yu Xin also saw a broken car rearview mirror that fell at the boy's feet.

The abusive man looked much weaker when he saw Lian Qiumang. He smiled apologetically and pulled the boy over to him: "I'll take care of it right away! Why don't you apologize to the boss!"

The young man staggered as he was pulled, and his position changed from the side to facing Lian Qiumang.

In this way, from Gu Qinghuan's perspective, he could see her whole body clearly.

Gu Qinghuan’s first impression was that she was very thin.

Although the boy was wearing loose long-sleeved shirt and long pants, his figure could not be seen, but his exposed hands showed how thin he was.

The joints on the hands are protruding, the skin seems to be tightly attached to the bones, and even the blood vessels are floating under the skin.

There was not much flesh on her cheeks, and her chin was so thin that it looked pointy, giving the impression that if you touched it, you would feel bones instead of skin.

When seeing her, Gu Qinghuan inexplicably recalled Yu Xin's earliest appearance.

She subconsciously looked at Yu Xin, and noticing her gaze, Yu Xin nodded slightly at Gu Qinghuan and whispered, "That girl must be having a hard time."

Just like she was before, no, probably worse.

The young man lowered his head and stood in front of Lian Qiumang, saying in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry..."

Lian Qiumang pressed his temple and said with anger: "Lao Zhang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, this is your job. How can you ask your children to work for you every other day?"

The man called "Lao Zhang" nodded and bowed, but Gu Qinghuan could see that when he lowered his head, there was no apology in his eyes.

"Boss, you know, I have four mouths to feed in my family. I have to run to several places every day to find work. I am really exhausted," said Lao Zhang.

He patted the girl's back again, causing her body to tilt. "Lanlan is already this old, but she helps me with the work because she is filial to me as a father."

Qin Yue couldn't hold it back, and hid behind Jiang Chuchu, and said, "He still has a beer belly, how can he look tired?"

With Lian Qiumang's personality, it was obvious that he could not deal with the slippery Old Zhang. He wanted to say something, but he caught a glimpse of Jiang Chuchu out of the corner of his eye and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Jiang, I will calculate your losses and compensate you now, or if you are not in a hurry, I will ask someone to buy a batch of better quality ones for you." Lian Qiumang said.

Jiang Chuchu then walked forward and glanced at Old Zhang and the young man. The latter had his head down and didn't notice anything, but the former sensed something was wrong and restrained himself a little.

"I'm not in a hurry. You just need to prepare something similar. However, you should ask Mr. Zhang for compensation, right?" Jiang Chuchu glanced at Lao Zhang.

"Of course. A rough estimate is about two thousand dollars in loss." Lian Qiumang replied immediately.

This electric tricycle would have to carry several trips to transport the amount of green plants Jiang Chuchu bought, so the overturned tricycle was not all of them. The amount of compensation required was already small compared to the total amount.

But Lao Zhang obviously didn't want to pay the two thousand yuan. He almost shouted at the top of his voice: "I can't afford it! How can I afford so much money?"

He pulled the girl over again and slapped her hard. The sound of the slap was so loud that everyone present trembled in their hearts.

"What have you done, you little bastard! You always cause trouble for me! I will beat you to death... Why are you holding the phone?" Lao Zhang was about to continue calling when he saw Gu Qinghuan holding up the phone, and his swung arm froze in mid-air.

"Nothing," Gu Qinghuan said lightly, "Aren't you going to teach the child a lesson? I'll record it and see how you teach him."

"What's there to record?" Lao Zhang looked unhappy.

"People on the Internet read everything now," said Gu Qinghuan. "The headline is 'Father of Four Beats Up Underage Daughter in Public to Avoid Compensation'. Shouldn't that be eye-catching enough?"

Lao Zhang quickly put down his hand and shouted in a timid tone: "What do you mean by compensation for running away? Who ran away?"

"Then you have to pay compensation!" Qin Yue stood in front of Gu Qinghuan. Gu Qinghuan had already started a fight, so he had to get involved too!

Lao Zhang stammered, "I, I don't have the money to pay! She did it! Let her pay!"

After saying that, he actually started running away, so nimbly that you couldn't even tell he had a beer belly.

Gu Qinghuan then put down the unlocked phone and said to Lian Qiumang apologetically: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I can't stand watching him hit someone."

"Originally, he wouldn't honestly pay the money," Lian Qiumang sighed, "I just wanted him to learn his lesson and stop asking Zhang Lanlan to work, but I didn't expect him to go too far."

"Zhang Lanlan" was obviously the boy's name. She raised her head awkwardly because her name was called: "Uncle Lian..."

Lian Qiumang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you, I will ask someone to take care of these green plants."

"I'll come and help too." Lian Fenghe spoke carefully. He was rather introverted by nature and usually didn't speak much in the class group. After what happened just now, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Jiang Chuchu frowned. She saw a slap mark on Zhang Lanlan's face. "Uncle Lian, you must make that guy pay for it."

It was obvious that Lao Zhang wanted to beat Zhang Lanlan in order to make Lian Qiumang feel sorry for him and get rid of the compensation.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't succeed.

Lian Qiumang was a little worried: "But even if I go to his house, if he just won't give me the money, there's nothing I can do."

Gu Qinghuan said, "He just said there are four mouths to feed at home. Does that mean he means four children?"

Gu Qinghuan looked at Zhang Lanlan, who then realized that he was asking her and nodded carefully.

"So, the first three are all girls, and the youngest is a son?" Gu Qinghuan asked again.

Zhang Lanlan nodded again, and Gu Qinghuan asked her, "How old is your youngest son?"

"Eight years old." Zhang Lanlan answered in a low voice.

"Then it should be time for elementary school. Elementary schools should finish school quite early, right?" Gu Qinghuan estimated that it should be around 4:30.

"Well... I still have to go pick up my brother." Zhang Lanlan's cheeks were severely swollen at the moment, and it hurt when she spoke.

"Since he asked Zhang Lanlan to pay compensation, then, although Uncle Lian was kind enough to allow her to pick up her brother, she cannot delay her work. She should just pick up her brother and then continue working here." Gu Qinghuan smiled.

Jiang Chuchu and Yu Xin immediately understood what she meant: Oh, this is taking Lao Zhang’s precious son as a hostage!
