Qin Tian is gone, and dealing with that little girl Qin Qing isn’t difficult.
Find a reason, lure her into the mountains, and with a shove, it’s done.
Qin De had been plotting all along, until recently, he discovered that Granny Qin had contracted tuberculosis, and he felt that the time had come.
He also felt that fate was on his side, otherwise why would Granny Qin contract such an incurable disease like tuberculosis?
So, he began to deceive Qin Tian.
Initially, he sensed that Qin Tian was somewhat tempted, but to his surprise...
Thinking of the military couple he saw in the Qin family, Qin De had a vague sense of foreboding.
Beside him, his wife and son were still clamoring, which annoyed Qin De, and at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and several police officers rushed in.
Before Qin De could react, they grabbed him directly.
"Qin De, we suspect you and Lu Ping collaborated to fraudulently claim the substantial salaries sent to state employees’ families. Come with us."
As soon as the police said this, only one thought was in Qin De’s mind: it’s over.
"Hey, what are you doing, help, the police are arresting someone." Qin De’s wife yelled, but it was no use, it only drew in the neighbors.
Of course, it wasn’t just Qin De who was arrested; Lu Ping, who lived in the county, was also arrested.
In Kao Mountain Village, it had been a snowy day, extremely cold, and almost every household was shut tight, unwilling to go out.
Suddenly hearing the noise from Qin De’s house, coupled with Qin De’s wife’s shouting, the neighbors immediately came out.
When they saw it was the police, the news spread quickly among the villagers.
"Why are the police here?"
"They’re here to arrest Qin De, right? What did he do?"
"Whatever it is, it’s not good. I’ve been saying for a long time that Qin De is not a good person."
Kao Mountain Village instantly became lively with the news of Qin De’s arrest.
Qin Tian stood at the door, watching Qin De being taken away by the police and the police car passing by, his little face taut.
By now, Granny Qin had woken up, and upon learning the truth, her tears fell.
"I wrongly trusted someone; I shouldn’t have believed in Qin De."
"I made those two children suffer."
If they had received the money sent by their son and daughter-in-law eight years ago, the children’s lives would have been much better.
It was also her negligence that made the two children question whether their parents didn’t want them.
Otherwise, why would they believe no letters and no money for eight years?
Especially Little Tian, she knew he matured early and was smart, remembering things early and held resentment against his parents.
It was her fault for making the children misunderstand their parents.
"Granny, it’s not your fault; it’s Qin De and Lu Ping who are too wicked," Gu Jia Ning consoled.
With over 8,000 yuan, even if divided, Qin De would have gotten more than 4,000 yuan.
And with this 4,000 yuan, Qin De only occasionally gave the Qin family a little benefit.
But even now, he thought it wasn’t enough and wanted to kill the old and the young, to occupy their brick house.
Greed, as it grows bit by bit, eventually turns a person unrecognizable, losing conscience.
Gu Jia Ning called Qin Tian in and explained Qin De’s possible motive for introducing him to the Min City woodworking factory.
Although the truth was cruel, Gu Jia Ning felt that Qin Tian was now the only one in the Qin family able to make decisions.
He shouldn’t be so naive; he should understand the dangers of society and human nature.
Though the revelation was shocking for a 10-year-old, it was better than being deceived in the future.
Sure enough, after hearing it, Qin Tian’s face turned ashen, and he quietly went to a corner to process it.
Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi left the Qin family that afternoon.
With the police investigation into Qin De and Lu Ping needing time, but with Sheng Zexi having word with them, there will surely be a fair and just assessment.
As for the Qin family, three days’ worth of medicine was left behind, and as long as it’s taken on time, Granny Qin’s tuberculosis can be cured.
Before leaving, Gu Jia Ning left 10 yuan with Qin Tian. Knowing he was reluctant to accept it, she said it was a loan for him to use to buy some fine grain because Granny Qin was still ill, and she reminded Qin Tian that if anything happened, they could find her at the military district.
Qin Tian and his sister, along with Granny Qin, expressed their gratitude to Gu Jia Ning repeatedly.
-
"Hey, Ningning, going out in this heavy snow?" Back at the military district, Sheng Zexi held an umbrella for Gu Jia Ning as they returned together.
Just as they arrived at the door, they saw the door next to theirs open, and Zhang Shuwan’s face appeared.
"Yes, we had some matters to attend to, but we’re back now. It’s so cold; it’s better to stay at home."
Gu Jia Ning spoke, her expression subtly changing for a moment before regaining composure.
Beside her, Sheng Zexi noticed the change in her expression, thought for a moment, and then looked away as if he hadn’t noticed anything.
"Ningning, let’s go inside."
"Okay."
Back home, Gu Jia Ning sat on the kang in the living room while Sheng Zexi went to draw and heat water.
The future scene flashed due to the system’s reward, lasting only an hour each time.
When with Qin Tian, she had already used the first hour.
But oddly, upon returning and just sitting in the car with Sheng Zexi, she opened the second future scene flash.
She wanted to see if, upon reaching the military district, she might encounter someone, hoping to see something, preferably meet Li Shuyao.
Unexpectedly, they hardly encountered anyone along the way.
The future scene flash showed no signs.
Until they saw Zhang Shuwan at the door, the future scene flash activated.
She saw Zhang Shuwan’s past life, more precisely the outcome if she hadn’t met her.
In the future scene, Guoguo was abducted and never found. Zhang Shuwan and Lin Xing couldn’t find him.
Later, Zhang Shuwan became depressed and died in melancholy, while Lin Xing lived out his life alone.
But now, the outcome is different.
At that time, the abducted Guoguo was rescued by her, and now Sister Shu Wan is pregnant, and her future with Lin Camp Commander will surely be better than in her past life.
In this life, they will be happy.
At that moment, there was a sound at the door.
Gu Jia Ning looked up and saw Sheng Zexi coming in with a kettle of water.
Just as Gu Jia Ning was about to speak, a flash crossed her mind.
Missions, blood, serious wounds, death, wailing...
Gu Jia Ning’s face suddenly changed.
"Ningning, what’s wrong?" Sheng Zexi immediately noticed her unusual emotion and quickly put down the kettle to ask.
He took her hand and found it cold, so he held it to warm her, "Why are your hands so cold and your face so pale? You must have caught a chill today. Shouldn’t we see a doctor?"
