Chapter 54

“Shhh, don’t let anyone see you.”

Tang Shi was worried that the villagers would see her. If they did, his daughter would also have to live in the cow shed with them.

How could the little darling, who had been pampered since she was a child, endure such hardship?

That was why he made the decision that hurt Lu Huaijing. He knew it would affect Lu Huaijing’s career.

But he was still selfish and hoped that Lu Huaijing would take good care of his daughter.

Tang Shi led Tang Wan a few steps into the mountains. Tang Wan saw Qin Su sitting on the ground waiting for her.

“Wanwan.”

Qin Su was not feeling well, but she still excitedly went forward and took Tang Wan’s hand.

She was too dirty to hug Tang Wan, but she still looked her daughter up and down.

“You’ve lost weight. You’ve lost weight.”

“Mom and Dad, it’s you who have lost weight.”

Tang Wan’s nose twitched. She didn’t know why she was so empathetic, even though she had just traveled through time.

It was as if… they were her parents.

“How is Lu Huaijing treating you?”

Qin Su held Tang Wan’s hand, her voice urgent. “Does he dislike you for being a burden?”

This was what she had been most worried about these days. Her daughter was raised too innocently. If she was bullied, she wouldn’t have anyone to protect her.

After all, because of their status, normal people would avoid them.

“Mom and Dad, don’t worry. He’s been very good to me. He even asked someone to make arrangements.

That’s why they moved you to the brigade near the army.”

Tang Wan took out the meat buns and dumplings she had bought at the state-owned restaurant from the basket.

“You eat something first. The family compound is not far from here. I’ll come to see you secretly when I have time.”

“Why is there white flour?”

Tang Shi’s heart warmed, but he still reminded her, “Wanwan, your parents are bad elements.

You should come less often. Don’t let anyone see you and target you.”

“Yes, listen to your dad. We can eat less. As long as you and Zhouzhou are okay.”

When she mentioned her youngest son, Qin Su couldn’t help but shed tears. At that time, the situation was urgent, so she could only entrust her son to her cousin.

She didn’t know how Zhouzhou was doing now.

They had been watched the whole time. Naturally, they didn’t know what had happened at Qin Tiezhu’s house. Tang Wan said angrily,

“Mom, you don’t know. It was Qin Tiezhu who colluded with Deputy Director Su to report Dad.

He also prepared those things to slander Dad.”

“What?”

Qin Su and Tang Shi were stunned. After they were reported, they naturally guessed who it might be.

They could think of Deputy Director Su, but they never imagined that Qin Tiezhu was involved.

Qin Su cried in anger. “How could he do this? We helped him a lot in the past.

He’s greedy. I even gave him eight hundred yuan to take care of Zhouzhou.

Since he reported your father, he definitely won’t be good to Zhouzhou. Wuwuwu…”

“Mom, don’t worry. I brought Zhouzhou with me.”

Tang Wan quickly wiped Qin Su’s tears with a handkerchief. “I overheard them talking about reporting Dad when I went to pick up Zhouzhou.”

“Thank you.”

Qin Su stopped crying. Then she thought of something and her heart ached. “But you married Lu Huaijing and brought Zhouzhou with you.

Will he have any objections? Will his family bully you?”

Her children were so pitiful.

Tang Shi also looked at Tang Wan with worry. His heart ached. He was useless. He couldn’t protect his children.

“Mom and Dad, don’t worry. As long as Lu Huaijing doesn’t object, his family can handle it.”

Tang Wan was afraid that her parents would worry, so she smiled and said, “My household registration is with him at the army.

It’s just Zhouzhou’s that’s a bit troublesome. He’s been trying to get Zhouzhou’s household registration transferred over these past few days.”

“Your father has good taste. He picked a righteous girl.”

Qin Su sighed. She had been reluctant at the time because the boy’s family was too far away and she was afraid that her daughter would suffer.

But now, his status was protecting her and her brother.

“Mom and Dad, don’t worry about Zhouzhou and me.”

Tang Wan picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into Qin Su’s mouth. “But you, it’s only been a few days, and you’ve become like this.”

“I’m fine. I just have a cold.”

Qin Su didn’t want Tang Wan to worry, so she downplayed it. However, Tang Wan knew that her body was very weak.

She grabbed Qin Su’s wrist and took her pulse, causing Tang Shi to quickly remind her.

“Don’t reveal that you know medicine in the army.”

His father was a Chinese medicine practitioner, so he naturally knew medicine. Wanwan also knew. It was a sword hanging over their heads.

“I know.”

Tang Wan released Qin Su’s hand. “Dad, Mom’s body is very weak. I brought some medicine and food. You should give her some to replenish her body.”

“Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

Tang Shi wiped his moist eyes. “Even for you and Zhouzhou, your mother and I will persevere.”

Although the future was bleak, Tang Shi was a man. He had to be the pillar of support for his family.

The three of them chatted for a while. Then Tang Shi began to urge Tang Wan, “Wanwan, listen to me. Come less often.

As long as you and Zhouzhou are okay, your parents can face anything.”

“Mom and Dad, I’ll be careful.”

Tang Wan didn’t agree with them. Now that she had found them, she didn’t plan to leave them alone.

She handed them the basket. Then she took out some money and coupons. However, Tang Shi only took ten yuan and a few coupons.

“Even if you give us more, it won’t be of any use. The villagers don’t dare to interact with us, and we can’t exchange things.

I’ll keep these ten yuan for emergencies. Don’t neglect yourself and Zhouzhou. Be vigilant.

Don’t reveal your identity in the army. Apologize to Huaijing on my behalf.”

Lu Huaijing had married Wanwan, so he would probably find it difficult to advance in his career. He felt guilty.

“Alright, stop nagging. Don’t let anyone see you.”

Qin Su interrupted Tang Shi. She was afraid that Tang Wan wouldn’t want to leave, so she took Tang Shi’s hand and went down the mountain first.

Although they had only been apart for a few days, Tang Wan could clearly see that they had become stooped.

She knew that they must have been doing the dirtiest work in the brigade.

Tang Wan made up her mind. She had to find a way to help them change their status!

She wiped away her tears and walked out of the brigade along the original path. Then she took out her bicycle.

She had given the basket to her parents. Tang Wan took out her backpack and put all the things she had bought today, as well as the meat, eggs, and fine grains she had picked out, into it.

Then she thought for a moment and took some braised meat and braised pig offal.

It was full and heavy, but it was still within her capacity.

It was pitch black on the road. Tang Wan wasn’t brave. After finishing her business, she realized that she was a little scared.

She went to the mall and found a flashlight. She pedaled her bicycle frantically. She thought that she should come earlier next time.

Thinking this, her bicycle accidentally hit a large stone, causing her to drop the flashlight in her hand.

When you’re unlucky, even drinking cold water makes your teeth ache!

Tang Wan was about to jump off her bicycle to pick up the flashlight when she suddenly saw a large black shadow in the distance. She was so scared that she pedaled her bicycle frantically and ran!

Damn it, she was afraid of ghosts!
