CHAPTER 455: 455 STARTS

Lv Beiguang just laughed on the side, "Yes, your Aunt Jiang’s cooking is indeed delicious."

Lv Jingchu looked at her dad, such a handsome dad, why is his mind not quite right? Aunt Jiang is such a good person, how come he’s not making a move? Could he really be scared off by that woman?

Guodong is responsible for washing dishes and cleaning the yard. Lv Beiguang is already very satisfied. His greatest wish used to be to have his two children live together.

Now that the wish has been fulfilled, although he has other thoughts, he knows that’s just wishful thinking. Not once during his private observations of Jiang Xinyu did she treat him any differently.

"Dad, I’m not going to school tomorrow?"

"Why?" Lv Beiguang paused, puzzled, and looked at his son.

"Dad, I don’t want to go to school either," Jingchu mumbled.

"Neither of you need to go to school. Just study at home. I’ll go ask for leave for both of you tomorrow, but you can’t neglect studying at home. If there’s something you don’t understand, ask your Aunt Jiang."

Lv Beiguang looked at Guodong, wanting to say something. "What’s wrong?"

"Dad, Aunt Jiang is already tired enough. Is it really okay for us to go over there?"

"It’s fine. I’ll call your Aunt Jiang tomorrow. We’ll help out with her chores from now on."

Lv Jingchu laughed on the side, "Alright, let’s do that then. Aunt Jiang can teach us for an hour every day. We’ll self-study, and mark what we don’t understand for her to explain."

Lv Beiguang nodded, "Go rest, I’ll go to the school tomorrow."

The two nodded, agreeing that it was quite good not having to stay in school.

"Dad, what will you say to get leave?"

"I’ll just say our family can’t afford school fees anymore."

Lv Jingchu laughed, "Dad, that’s a good excuse. Say that, I used to tell my classmates we’re really poor."

"Yes, I know how to say it. You two remember, no matter who calls you, don’t leave. You’re still young. Your job now is to study.

You saw your Aunt Jiang, graduated from college and became deputy factory director. The deputy factory director of the textile mill ranks higher in the eyes of the higher-ups than our brewery’s director. So you two must go to school."

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Don’t worry, things won’t always be so chaotic. If it continues like this, you’ll keep self-studying, and eventually, there will be good opportunities waiting for you."

Jingchu and Guodong both nodded, they both greatly envied Jiang Xinyu, a college student, which is their current dream.

"By the way, dad you should also pay attention to safety. Everything alright at your work?"

"It’s fine, just work every day. Who has the time for unnecessary things?"

"Dad, Jingchu is right."

"Alright, I got it. I’m old enough to know these things. You two can rest assured.

But you two must be careful and cautious."

At that moment, they heard someone pounding heavily on the door.

"Dad, that’s next door, not us."

The three of them were startled, and outside, there were loud shouts.

"Dad, don’t go to open the door," Jingchu grabbed Lv Beiguang.

"I’m just going to take a look."

"Don’t go, let’s just listen from the yard. Didn’t you hear it earlier?"

Guodong also held his father’s hand.

"Alright, let go, I won’t go out."

The three of them sat in the yard, listening to Aunt Zhao next door crying loudly.

Jingchu was frightened, what’s going on? Why does Aunt Zhao’s voice sound so terrifying?

There was also the sound of things being smashed. Suddenly, they heard Sister Xiaoli’s sharp crying, "Let go of me, let go of me."

Lv Beiguang couldn’t sit still, "I’ll take a look, Xiaoli is still young, what’s going on? Why is she involved?"

"Dad?" Jingchu held Lv Beiguang back.

"It’s fine, just taking a look." He patted her hand. Living next to neighbors, one used to help take care of the kids, now with such a commotion happening, he couldn’t possibly not show up.

Lv Beiguang opened the door, saw the street was deserted, thought for a moment, and still went to the Zhao Family’s house.

The Zhao couple worked at the county committee. They were good people; when he was busy with work, his two children would eat at their place, and they never asked for food from him. They genuinely liked the two kids.

He saw the Zhao’s house door was wide open and went in. Behind him, he heard footsteps; the two children followed him, "You two should go back."

"Dad, we’d better go with you, I’m worried," Jingchu grabbed Lv Beiguang’s hand.

"Yeah, dad, let’s go together. I also heard Xiao Qiang crying earlier, don’t know what’s going on?"

The three of them entered the Zhao Family’s yard and saw more than ten people inside, with two people holding Sister Xiaoli. Old Zhao and his wife were already bound up and pinned on the ground, only Xiao Qiang was off to the side being held by someone. The rest were holding flashlights.

"We’re the neighbors, not knowing what’s happening, just came to see."

"You’re affecting our work."

"Haha, I’m not aware of that. Us ordinary folks just want to see what’s happening, and now we’re being detained? There’s no such reasoning."

Wang Dajiang was stumped by Lv Beiguang’s questioning, knowing he didn’t have much scholarly knowledge.

"We’re from the same place; Old Zhao and his wife might be at fault, but what have the children done wrong?"

Kong Demin listened on the side, knowing either they would all be taken away, or this girl would have to be released. It’s a pity, this little girl looks pretty good.

"We didn’t intend to take the children, but they resisted our work. So we had to control them."

"That’s what I thought. Xiaoli, Xiao Qiang, you two stop crying and making trouble. Don’t cause problems for the staff. Your parents are just going for investigation; they’ll be back if everything’s fine."
