Chapter 331 Writing a Letter
"This is what Zhou Sheng threatened me just now. You also know that he ran all the way from Lanjia Village to Shanghai without a penny. Even if I send them back to Lanjia Village, they can still come back."
Zhou Rongxin did not hide it and told it directly.
Upon hearing this, the Zhou family felt like the sky was falling.
We can’t beat them, and we can’t send them away, otherwise we’ll just set the house on fire and burn them to death.
Old Mrs. Zhou even cried out, "Oh my God, how could I have provoked such a disaster!"
Everyone nodded repeatedly, that's right.
Old Mrs. Zhou couldn't catch her breath and fainted on the ground. Her five children looked at each other, and after a few seconds, they pushed and pulled her together and helped her up.
Zhou Sheng, who was still in the police station, was not in a hurry to go home.
Anyway, he figured it out. If he didn't want to be bullied, he had to be ruthless. If anyone dared to not let him in, he would kick the door to pieces.
By now Zhou Sheng had long forgotten that he had burned the Zhou family home down to its blackened skeleton, and that he had no place to live even if he went back.
At this time, Zhou Sheng looked eagerly at the young policeman in front of him. The policeman had clear eyes and was no more than 20 years old. He was obviously a newcomer, and in Zhou Sheng's mind he was an "expendable victim".
He looked at the new police officer, pulled his shirt and asked carefully, "Uncle policeman, I want to write a letter to my mother, can you lend me some money?"
The police officer whose clothes were pulled was looking at the child in front of him who was covered in wounds and had red eyes. He had been crying non-stop, but no one from his father's family comforted him. Even a grown man like him felt sad when he saw this.
Hearing that he wanted to write a letter to his mother, he nodded quickly and said, "Uncle will help you mail the letter, why borrow it?" He searched his pockets and found a bunch of small bills, which added up to about one or two dollars. He stuffed the money into Zhou Sheng's little hand.
"Take this money, and remember to write to your mother and ask her to take you home. Your father's side is not a good person. Look at all the injuries on his body."
The whole family disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a ten-year-old child, who was not to be worried about being lost.
Zhou Sheng tightly held the money given to him by the police officer, pretending to be obedient but sneering in his heart. He would never go back to that remote mountain village of Lanjia Village.
Although Zhou Sheng had never thought about returning to Lanjia Village, nor did he miss anyone in Lanjia Village, not even his biological mother and sister, he thought of the money that Lan Xin had taken away before.
Zhou Sheng held the scattered bills in his hand and couldn't help but think resentfully, how much money is this? Lan Xin had cheated Zhou Rongxin out of several thousand dollars in the past.
A few thousand dollars would require so many banknotes and a very thick stack of them. That was a sum of money that even the city dwellers Zhou family would feel pain in. But Lan Xin didn't give him even a penny.
He is her only son. If she doesn't give him the money when she has it, could it be that she is unfaithful to her husband and wants to find a man to marry, as those people say?
Bah, don’t you look at your own face? Which man would dare to want her?
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but think darkly in his heart, if no one took over Lan Xin, then he would be her only son. If she didn't cherish him now and didn't give him money, be careful that when she died, he wouldn't even give her the chance to break the basin.
When he thought of this, Zhou Sheng felt completely confident that he could control Lan Xin and get the few thousand dollars.
As long as he has this money, he can live a comfortable life in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but regretfully think that he should have written to Lan Xin earlier and got the money sooner so that he wouldn't have to live such a hard life. Unfortunately, the Zhou family didn't give him a penny at that time, and he spent all the money he had saved and the money he had stolen from Lan Xin when he left home.
He should have come to the police station and asked someone to pay him to write the letter.
Zhou Sheng borrowed a pen and paper from the police officer, and began to write a letter in a corner away from everyone's gaze. However, since he had not learned calligraphy for one semester, Zhou Sheng's memory had deteriorated a lot, and he could not write many characters. He could only leave them blank or write in pinyin.
Zhou Rongxin, who was pushing and pulling old lady Zhou to the hospital, also ran out with an excuse.
Originally, the Zhou family didn't want to send her to the hospital. It didn't matter how much money was spent to send her to the hospital because she just fainted. But their house was burned down last night and they had no place to stay.
The cold wind outside was blowing, making people feel uncomfortable, so after the Zhou family sent Grandma Zhou to the hospital, they squeezed into the empty beds nearby to rest. Those who couldn't get an empty bed also squeezed into Grandma Zhou's bed and pushed an unconscious old lady to the side of the bed. It was impossible to tell who was the patient at a glance.
Zhou Rongxin thought about it and decided that he couldn't let Zhou Sheng continue like this. If he didn't want to go back to Lanjia Village, he couldn't call Lan Xin over and take him back. With Lan Xin as his mother, she would definitely be able to stop Zhou Sheng.
As for whether Lan Xin was willing to come and pick up Zhou Sheng, Zhou Rongxin felt that there would be no surprises. After all, Lan Xin loved her son Zhou Sheng the most.
I guess Lan Xin couldn't eat or sleep well and cried every day during the days he was away from home.
……
Lan Xin was so tired these days that she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. It was because she was too busy.
Because the Chinese New Year is getting closer, there are too many people coming to Sanqing Temple on Sanqing Mountain to worship gods and fulfill their vows. In this winter, if you miss the bus, you can't walk all the way to the city in the cold wind, which will definitely make you sick.
Therefore, Qingshan Hotel's business is very good and almost all rooms are fully booked.
Some travelers who are short of money have learned to share a room with others. Several people live in one room, rest together to avoid the cold wind, and share the room fee. After all, most of them who come out to worship together are from the same village or nearby villages.
Lan Xin pretended not to see these things. She just reminded them to protect their belongings and call them if there was any problem.
A few days later, as the Chinese New Year was getting closer, there were fewer people on Sanqing Mountain. Lan Xin simply closed the store and only let two security guards take turns to guard it.
Li Jia, Xu Rufang and others who sell tea eggs on Mount Sanqing move to the city, the commune, or the big market in the nearby town to sell tea eggs when there are fewer people on the mountain and the weather gets colder.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and every household is out buying New Year's goods and preparing for the New Year. These places have many people and generous money, and they are selling happily every day, just like it is during the peak season in Sanqing Mountain.
Lan Xin now has handed over the management of tea eggs to Ma Cuihua, Lan He and others. She just needs to check the accounts every day. She is now busy with the last wave of vegetable sales before the New Year.
A few days ago, a batch of vegetables and fruits were supplied to the hotel and Xiao Xueying, and they have grown again in the greenhouse in the past few days.
It was at this time that letters from Zhou Rongxin and Zhou Sheng arrived one after another. Lan Xin was too busy to read the letters and study their thoughts. She took the letter, glanced at it, and then laughed.
