CHAPTER 876: CHAPTER 852: RAN AWAY?

Song Ziyuan stayed.

Unable to watch her daughter using such methods, Jiang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to agree.

She was afraid that if she wasn’t around to restrain her, this girl would cause trouble again.

Being caught and made into a specimen was not an option.

Primarily, Song Ziyuan said she was low on energy and needed a break.

Auditing a class was still auditing.

They spent five thousand yuan, and Song Ziyuan attended the school near their home.

The school here had a very relaxed system, with classes ending at three in the afternoon.

Most of the time, Song Ziyuan stayed by Jiang Xiaoxiao’s side.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also didn’t dare to let Song Ziyuan get too far away from her.

Early the next morning.

Several people from the Hao family came to the courtyard.

They were there for the secret recipe.

But when they arrived, they found the door tightly locked with a big lock.

The faces of the brothers changed.

"Did they really run away?"

They were worried that the old lady would run away, not Jiang Xiaoxiao. It was the old lady who had the recipe.

If the recipe was gone, the million yuan would be down the drain.

"Big brother, what do we do now? They really took the old lady and ran away."

Uncle Hao was anxious.

He had three sons, all of whom were old enough to marry.

If they got those 200,000, his three sons could immediately buy houses and get married, and there would be no worry about the bride price.

Perhaps there would even be some money left to start a small business, and the family wouldn’t have to worry about living expenses, which was much better than now.

Currently, six family members were squeezed into a 40-square-meter house.

You could hear everything, even someone passing gas; there was no privacy at all, for so many years now.

He and his wife couldn’t even have a married life.

Guarding three grown sons and a daughter, the couple dared not do anything too brazen.

"You’re asking me? How the heck would I know what to do? We should have asked for the recipe yesterday, never thought this woman would use a delaying tactic. Now that she’s taken the old lady with her, there’s no way we can get the recipe."

Uncle Hao looked regretful.

What a miscalculation.

Now they didn’t even have a place to cry; where could they go looking for them?

The auntie from the courtyard came out to fetch water and saw a group of them standing gloomily at the Hao family’s door, looking as if someone had died. Wasn’t the old lady perfectly fine? Why the long faces?

"Xiao Hao, what’s wrong? Visiting your grandma? She moved out yesterday. Didn’t you see the note tucked in the door, with the address for you all?"

The old lady was very excited.

"Your grandma said she would have someone come back in a few days to invite us neighbors to her new home. They say she moved to a new place, where she can really enjoy life, especially after finding this little granddaughter.

Yesterday, someone came with a minivan, picked them up, and took some things. They said to move the rest slowly, as they had everything they needed over there.

Clearly, they are well-off people. By the way, I saw the water bucket in your grandma’s yard wasn’t being used. Maybe I can use it first. Just let your grandma know."

She took the bucket and left.

Uncle Hao had a thought, if they were going to leave such instructions, it didn’t look like an escape. If it was just a simple move, it was simple.

The group took the note off the door and, indeed, there was an address left on it.

It also told Uncle Hao that if they came today, upon seeing the note, they should go to the new address to find them.

The group exchanged glances and saw joy in each other’s eyes, since they hadn’t run away, that was good. As long as they could find the person, the recipe wouldn’t escape them.

The group hurried out the door, took a bus, and arrived at the address.

The group felt a bit puzzled, as this place wasn’t where they were supposed to go.

Though not a true wealthy district, it was the sort of place where middle-class families could afford to live.

Could it be that their little sister really made something of herself?

She actually moved to this kind of place.

The group felt a bit puzzled, but puzzled or not, they had to hurry up and visit.

Money was more important.

Following the address, they found the place, and seeing the two-story building, they were a bit surprised.

Of course, they were envious too.

The living environment here was clearly of a higher level, especially this courtyard, with the back facing the mountain. If you grew medicinal herbs here, their efficacy would probably be much better than ordinary fields.

The environment was exceptionally good too.

At this point, there was a car parked at the courtyard entrance.

Several tall men were moving things at the door.

Seeing Hao Zhigang gesturing there at a glance.

The group hurried over.

"Hao Zhigang, why didn’t you tell us about moving in advance? We could have lend a hand. You have several brothers at home who could help. Your great-grandmother is old. What if something happens because she’s tired, how could you face us?"

Uncle Hao came over grumbling, but what they were more worried about was that the old lady moved and didn’t inform them.

Hao Zhigang saw them, realizing each was an elder he couldn’t offend, and noticed they were already putting on the elder airs.

"Uncle, you finally came. We had long planned the move, but when you came yesterday you didn’t mention it at all and left in a hurry. Great-grandma didn’t have time to say.

Since you are here, I’ll take you inside; Great-grandma and Aunt are in the living room waiting for you. We thought you would be here first thing in the morning, but you arrived just now."

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Hao Zhigang had plans today; they had an appointment with an agent to see a house in the afternoon.

The three shops had to be rented, buying was unaffordable now, considering the little money on hand.

By yesterday and today, it’s almost gone.

Aunt was holed up in the lab fiddling with something all night long.

They smelled a fragrance.

Aunt said the things were prepared for the future store, not for revealing yet.

Yesterday, the brothers had a meeting, grandma’s meeting.

The message was a serious warning: since they decided to work with Aunt, they must work wholeheartedly, doing whatever Aunt asked, less talk, more action.

The brothers all patted their chests in agreement.

Mainly because they ate well and lived well here.

If they could succeed by following Aunt, why wouldn’t they?

Last night each of the four brothers had a room to themselves, sleeping on spacious double beds, rolling however they wanted, with such comfort.

Compared to the cramped bunks at home, the comfort level was on a whole different one.

Especially with windows open to hear birds singing and flowers blooming outside.

They slept so well, who wouldn’t want a good life.

Early in the morning, Hao Zhigang took a bank card with three bodyguards to withdraw money, as cash of one million.

With his uncles and elders, who wouldn’t make a move without seeing the rabbit, to have them sign off agreeing to sell the recipe to Aunt.

They had to see real money to believe it.
