Countdown to Awakening

After Grandma Qian left, Chen Jiade's mother rolled her eyes. "Grandma Qian, she's been in the village for so long and I didn't know she could tell fortunes. Now she's saying she figured out that little girl was destined to have siblings? It looks like she's just talking nonsense!"

Mengdi cleaned up the kitchen and brought Zhaodi out again. After washing her face, Zhaodi stared at the can of milk powder on the table in a daze.

At this point, Chen Tianci started crying again. Without breast milk, she could only be fed with formula. In her eyes, her grandmother used a spoon to scoop spoonful after spoonful of milk into the bottle that she used to have.

She was almost drooling at the sight.

After grandma left, she pointed to the milk powder on the table and said, "Don't think about that. That's for your brother. None of us can drink it."

Zhaodi looked at Mengdi with a lost look, but she noticed the blood at the corner of Mengdi's mouth and stopped thinking about it. It was because she wanted to eat chicken legs that her sister was beaten. She couldn't let her sister get beaten again.

Mengdi took Zhaodi away.

She must listen to her mother and protect her sister. The newborn brother is the baby of his father and grandmother, and perhaps in the future, they will be the only ones who will depend on each other.

Chen Tianci was just carried to the bedroom and slept for a while before he woke up crying again.

“Oh…Tianci, Tianci, don’t cry…”

Although she said this, she was still very happy. Her eldest grandson could cry so vigorously, and he would definitely become a great man in the future.

Chen Tianci was a newborn and couldn't get used to drinking formula, but Chen Jiade had no choice but to give it to him.

Qi Yuanyuan also found a suitable part-time job, also as a waitress at a hot pot restaurant. However, it was far from school, and the jobs closer were almost all filled.

They are mainly responsible for serving pots, wiping tables and reading menus. It is not all done by one person, but whoever is free will be assigned to that job.

On her first day at work, she was so busy that she was dizzy. She couldn't remember what dishes the customers wanted or what they requested. She was even scolded by the store manager...

Banker——

The main person in charge of this case is the son of Zhuang's father's colleague. It happened that he found out the mastermind behind Zhuang Mengjin's invasion of the mountainous area.

"Li Ping, do you have any clues? Why did my daughter go there?" Zhuang's mother was very anxious.

Li Ping asked Zhuang's mother not to be anxious and asked them to be mentally prepared first.

"Aunt, we found out... Zhuang Meng's boyfriend is also involved in this case... and he's..."

When Zhuang's mother heard this, she almost fainted. "What did you say? Zhou Hua? How could he?"

Zhuang Meng couldn't believe it. How could her boyfriend, who had always loved her so deeply, do such a thing? How could this be possible?!

"Did you investigate wrongly? Zhou Hua wouldn't be like that. He's the one who's always protected me, and he even got injured because of it... He's in the hospital now, you can go see him. Could there be some mistake? Could someone be using him as a scapegoat? Zhou Hua isn't that kind of person!"

Zhuang Meng frowned, not daring to believe anything Li Ping said.

"It's exactly what I said."

Zhou Hua and Zhuang Meng met in college and dated for a year. Not long after the start of their freshman year, they hit it off very well and naturally got together.

Zhou Hua also met Zhuang Meng's parents. Although Zhuang Meng's parents were not very satisfied with Zhou Hua's family conditions, Zhou Hua would not do such a thing.

"Xiao Meng, listen to me first. I know you don't want me to say it, but Zhou Hua is indeed the mastermind behind this matter."

In Li Ping's words, the evil of human nature is revealed:

During the summer vacation, Zhou Hua said he wanted to find a job and asked Zhuang Meng if she wanted to join him. Zhuang Meng knew that his family was not well off and could see that Zhou Hua was very motivated, so she agreed.

The two men met Xiao Zhang while looking for a job. Xiao Zhang claimed to be the head of a company and took them to Tianfu Village. He said that the fruits and vegetables in Tianfu Village were ripe and there were valuable herbs on the mountain. If they could help collect and sell herbs, they could make a lot of money.

Xiao Zhang: "This herb has to be fresh, and it has to be the young shoots to be valuable. Older ones are not popular. The younger the herb, the more valuable it is and the more people want it."

Zhou Hua didn't even look at the situation in the mountains and guaranteed that these herbs must be the tenderest and most valuable.

Zhuang Meng couldn't understand. Aren't herbs usually picked from the old ones? Why did he pick the young shoots?

In fact, Zhou Hua and the so-called Xiao Zhang were actually in collusion. The two of them worked together from inside and outside to trick Zhuang Meng into entering Tianfu Village, and he was forcibly taken into the village by the villagers.

"Are you sure that this girl is a virgin? Is she clean?" Xiao Zhang asked.

"Yes, of course. I've been with her for so long, and she doesn't even let me touch her. How could she be a piece of shit?"

He touched the wounds on his face caused by the villagers and smiled. It was worth it to get so much money and suffer a little injury.

"I'm telling you, you better keep your mouth shut, or you'll know what's going on! No one will benefit from it if you tell anyone about it."

Zhou Hua nodded. How could he not know? It would take him a long time to earn that much money working part-time. One woman could earn that much money. It was worth it!

"I still don't believe it! Unless I see him, where is he now??"

Li Ping took a deep breath and replied, "He's already at the police station. If you have anything to say to him, I can take you there. He's already taken a statement, and it's hard for you not to believe me."

Zhuang Meng still couldn't believe that her boyfriend, whom she had been dating for so long, was a beast...

Several people arrived at the police station, while Zhuang's father and mother waited in the car for their daughter to return.

Zhuang Meng prepared himself mentally and followed Li Ping in.

There was a layer of glass between her and Zhou Hua, like a barrier between them.

Zhuang Meng picked up the phone and said to the other end: "Do you know that it was you who harmed me? Why did you do this?"

Zhou Hua stopped pretending after hearing this. He looked Zhuang Meng up and down before answering her, "It's me. Who made your family look down on me? Since they look down on me, I'm going to destroy you."

Zhuang Meng looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, a man who seemed strange yet familiar. After taking a deep breath, she continued, "My parents don't like your family background, but they've also made a condition. If we really want to get married, you can marry into my family without paying a penny. Would I really let you down?"

"Marry into your family's family? Who are you insulting? How can I do such a shameful thing? I am the only son in my family. If I marry into your family, the child I give birth to will have your surname, and I won't get a penny of your family's money. Since I can't cheat any money from you, let's just not talk about it." Zhou Hua's tone was full of indifference.

Zhuang Meng hesitated to speak. She had never imagined he was such a person!

Her family was well-off, and it was Zhou Hua's good fortune that he was attracted to her. He was truly blind to have fallen for such a piece of trash!

"Heh... didn't you tell me not to come? How about it? How does it feel to be taken turns by those old men?"
