Chapter 472: Bringing Qian Niang Home

After Xiao Long heard me finish speaking, he said nothing more.

My promise will make him content.

Xiao Long worries that I will mention Fang Rui's background to Qian Niang and Li Ming.

Then their relationship will take a bad turn.

I'm not saying that Qian Niang and Li Ming are feudal thinkers.

But having them accept Xiao Long's girlfriend, the daughter of a murderer.

This really requires great courage.

Keep the secret, and let the young people live happily together.

This is my responsibility.

Our car sped through the Provincial Capital.

After seeing Qian Niang and Ru Meng once during the New Year, I never saw them again.

More than half a year has passed.

During this time, I have been deeply concerned about them.

They are everything to me.

The car soon arrived at the place where Qian Niang rents.

Qian Niang and they rent in the southern part of the Provincial Capital.

The southern part of the Provincial Capital is mountainous.

Moreover, it is very high.

Why does the Provincial Capital have so many springs,

because the northern part of the Provincial Capital is the Yellow River, which is an above-ground river higher than the city.

the southern part is a mountainous area,

both north and south are high, squeezing the groundwater; where it cannot flow, it only springs up from underground.

Of course, this is just my personal interpretation; I'm not an expert.

After parking the car in a residential complex,

Xiao Long and I got out of the car.

The air in the southern part of the Provincial Capital is truly indescribable.

When I lived on Zhang Village Road, the air there was really terrible.

Dust filled the air everywhere.

In the south, however, the air is fresh and the temperature is not high.

On some hills, various villa residential areas can be seen under construction; it seems the provincial capital's nobles all come here to live.

In front of an old-style residential area, I stopped the car.

Xiao Long and I went up the stairs together.

The unit building is very old.

This shows that the residential building has been around for a while.

We reached the third floor, and Xiao Long said to me, "Grandpa, we're here. I'll knock on the door."

Then Xiao Long pounded the door with his fist, six times in a row.

"Grandpa, I agreed with my father that knocking six times with our fists means we've arrived and he'll open the door. If anyone else knocks, he won't open it at all." Xiao Long said to me.

"From now on, we won't need to do that anymore. We can all come out openly." I said with a smile.

At that moment, the security door opened,

a face appeared from the crack in the door,

he looked nervously outside and asked,

"Is it Xiao Long?"

It was Li Ming's voice; it seems he doesn't know about the downfall of the Zhou Family.

I smiled and said, "Li Ming, it's me."

"Ah, brother, how did you come? Mom, my brother is here." Li Ming shouted.

At this moment, the door opened fully.

Xiao Long and I entered the house together.

Qian Niang was keeping Ru Meng company while she did needlework.

He Qing was watching television.

Seeing Xiao Long and me come in, they all stood up.

Qian Niang put down her work,

"Er Hai, I've been hoping you'd come. Where have you been these days?"

"Mother, I've come to take you home; we're all safe now." I said happily.

"Home, which home?" Qian Niang asked.

"Back to Zaocheng, we'll go home together. Mother, the Zhou Family is finished, Kong Shi has been arrested, all the bad people are gone. We can return home openly."

Hearing me say this, Qian Niang suddenly covered her face and began to cry,

"Er Hai, is this really true?"

"Really, Mother, if you don't believe me, ask Xiao Long." I also shed tears.

"Grandma, Grandpa said it's true. We've rented a car just to pick you up and take you home. We're all safe." Xiao Long said from the side.

"Good. Great. I thought I would die away from home in this lifetime. I never expected to be able to return home." Qian Niang said happily.

Mother, our good days have come. Ru Meng, quickly help your grandmother pack up, we're returning to Zaocheng." I said to Ru Meng.

Dad, how is Mom? Where is she now?" Ru Meng asked.

I have already asked Brother Little Dragon to contact an ambulance; she is also returning to Zaocheng. Our whole family is going back." I said.

Dad, has your position as chairman of Da Heng Group been restored? Will I still be attending a private high school in the Provincial Capital?" Ru Meng asked again.

Ru Meng, let's talk about this after we get home. Sister-in-law, hurry, pack up a bit, don't just stand there." I also said to Li Ming's wife He Qing.

Actually, Ru Meng asked me this, but I don't want to answer her; if she continues to attend high school in the Provincial Capital, she'll end up estranged from her own family." I thought.

He Qing stared at me blankly.

Brother, I want to ask, if we go back, will Li Ming be arrested?"

It seems He Qing is still worried about Li Ming's safety.

Don't worry, they won't arrest him; that Kong Shi has been taken in, and Li Ming's matter is temporarily on hold.

We're all safe now." I said loudly.

Hearing me say that, He Qing shed tears of happiness.

Li Ming then said: "Hurry up and pack; throw away what should be thrown away, we don't need these old things."

He Qing then went back to the bedroom to pack.

Qian Niang said: "Er Hai, where should our family live in Zaocheng, or should we return to our original home?"

I said: "Qian Niang, let's first stay in a hotel. The matter of Li Ming brother's properties still needs to go through procedures,

this doesn't need to be worried about.

As long as Kong Shi is dealt with, everything will be fine."

Qian Niang said: "Alright, I wasn't asking about those properties. Sigh, after this ordeal, Li Ming also understands that having too much isn't good either. Okay, let's go back first and talk later."

Li Ming said: "Mom, you're saying this again; these things are what I earned through my own hard work, what right do they have to not give them to me."

Those properties must be returned to me in full, otherwise I won't let them off."

Li Ming's words made me feel somewhat uneasy; these properties earned from his own salary—how could that be? The two apartments in Xin Cheng, plus the one in the Provincial Capital, and next he plans to also get a property in Sijiucheng.

Can an ordinary person earn that?

Li Ming still wants all these properties back,

sigh, my Da Heng Group may not come back either.

He, he's overthinking things.

But I cannot explain the situation to Li Ming.

I can only say to Li Ming: "Li Ming, let's go back first. The matter of your property needs to be resolved step by step. Rest assured, what belongs to you will be yours."

Brother, that Kong Shi deliberately framed me. I not only want the properties back, but also to be reinstated to my former position. My case was concluded without clear reason—what is this all about? If this isn't resolved, brother, I will go seek justice." Li Ming shouted.

Li Ming brother used to be quite reasonable,

after experiencing this, his mindset has clearly changed.

In his view, everything should return to how it was before.

He continues to work in the Senior Management Bureau,

and then nothing changed.

How could that be?

What time has passed cannot come back,

Even someone like Zhu Sheng in that position can only be restored to an idle post.

Because important positions don't lack people, but also lack such individuals.

Even if you are wronged, it's impossible to let you return to your original post.

Because someone else has already taken your position; how could they let you go back?

On this matter, Li Ming brother is not as open-minded as Zhu Sheng.

I can only return to Zaocheng to persuade Li Ming brother again.

I said to Li Ming: "Brother, let's go back first and talk later. As for work, we should still meet with Zaocheng's new leadership to discuss. Some things are in flux. We are now free, which is already enough; we no longer need to hide. Do you agree, brother?"
