Chapter 139 Reaction
"Yu-ge!" "Dad!"

"Dad, Big Brother, are you alright?"

When Xiang Mingyu and the others saw that Yan Ziyu and his son had returned and were no different from before, and were no longer injured, they all breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward excitedly to speak.

Yan Nan, being very perceptive, quickly helped his elder brother put their father down and steady him, then took a bundle from his hands.

"What is this? Who is it...?"

"We'll talk later."

This place is crowded and noisy, and the Yan family is in the eye of the storm. No one knows if there are any rats or bedbugs sent by secret people around.

Clearly, everyone understood that this was not the place to talk, and after calming down, they all consciously muted their phones and remained silent.

As they were being escorted onto the train, the train slowly carried them away from this familiar land, leaving them wondering what the future held for them.

Even Yanxi, who calls herself a little witch, has always believed in subduing others with fists, whether at home or in the compound.

Even after years of training in the military, and even when there is competition, it is always a head-on confrontation.

Faced with such a major event for the first time, which required careful thought, strategy, and tactics, and concerned the life and death of the entire Yan family, he was inevitably confused and at a loss.

She wasn't worried about hardship or suffering; she was just afraid of being completely useless.

"Xixi?"

Sitting next to her, Xiang Mingyu immediately noticed her daughter's low spirits.

"I'm fine, Mom. I just thought of Xiaoqi."

As the smartest of the younger generation in the family, Yan Xiaoqi, if he were here, would he...?

He shook his head in an instant, and Yanxi secretly clenched his fist.

She had forgotten that even if Yan Xiaoqi was far away in Xiangnan, she would probably still be implicated in the current situation of the Yan family.

“Beibei…”

Speaking of my youngest son, I think of how he's engrossed in his research, his favorite thing being to immerse himself completely in complex formulas...

A pang of heartache welled up in Xiang Mingyu's eyes, because she knew.

Losing his privileged family background and affluent life wouldn't be a blow to him, but if he really couldn't continue his scientific research, he would probably lose half his life.

“It’s a bit chilly tonight, Dad. You’re injured, you can’t afford to get sick now. You and Mom should put on some clothes first.”

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Yan Dong opened the large bundle beside him and tried to divert their attention.

Sure enough, everyone forgot what they were thinking and turned their attention to the two large bundles that had suddenly appeared.

At least on the surface, everyone is keeping their distance from them now and doesn't dare to get too close. Who would choose to send them something at this time without any hesitation?

"I've been wanting to ask this for a while now, what's going on?"

"That man said he was Suning's older brother."

"Su Ning? Ningning's older brother?"

People who are unexpected, yet when it actually happens, don't feel so surprised deep down.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, aside from their relationship as brothers, Yanxi really liked and admired Su Ning as a person.

"Yes, they not only sent us cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but also thick quilts. They must be worried that we won't be able to withstand the sudden cold in the north."

There's no need to bring up money and tickets at this point; there are too many eyes and ears next door.

As Yan Dong spoke, he found Zhang Fu and his wife's coats and handed them to his parents.

The clothes weren't very new, but they weren't patched either. They were slightly faded and fuzzy from the starching, but they were very clean and had a faint soapy scent.

"No wonder Xiao Qi has taken a liking to him and cherishes him."

Although puzzled as to where Suning's older brother in Shanghai came from, given that her family is based in Beijing and she is an only child.

But they were very touched and grateful for this kindness and thoughtfulness.

Even though Su Ning had reservations and didn't end up with Yan Bei, the Yan family wouldn't diminish their gratitude towards her in the slightest.

At this moment, they were filled with admiration, unaware that these cotton-padded clothes, trousers, and bedding, which seemed insignificant before, would become the things that provided them with the greatest survival guarantee and saved their lives after they arrived at their destination.

……

The Zhang family in Huaijiang Alley, Shanghai.

"He's back! Uncle's back! Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle's back!"

Xiao Qiu, who had been stubbornly insisting on sitting on the threshold outside the main room while carrying a small stool, jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly into the house when she saw someone pushing a bicycle into the yard.

"came back?"

"How's it going? Did you see the person? Did you give all the stuff out?" Zhang Fu turned his head to look at the back of the bicycle and, not finding anything, felt a great sense of relief.

After parking the car, Zhang Qi nodded and replied, "I saw him and gave him everything, but Uncle Yan Ziyu looks quite badly injured."

"what?"

"I gave them all the money and tickets I had with me when I went there, hoping that I could find a way to buy medicine to treat my injuries when I got there."

"Nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fu waved his hand. He'd seen it all before; who would dare to approach, let alone offer help out of kindness?

Zhang Fu rubbed his hands together, stopped pacing, looked at his son who had just arrived home and was still catching his breath, and ordered him again without a trace of heartache, "Go and call Ningning back and tell her what's going on."

"it is good."

Zhang Qi readily agreed. Originally, he planned to find out the specific address of the Yan family members after they were sent down to the countryside the next day before replying to Ningning.

But it's fine to call now, so she won't worry and lose sleep at night. We can always call again tomorrow after we get a definite answer.

Without even entering the house, Zhang Qi hurriedly left through the gate again.

Hu Yingtao, who only had a vague understanding of the matter, only knew that Ningning's request had been fulfilled. Once she was at ease, she stopped caring about the father and son who were causing trouble.

Turning around, she took her granddaughter's hand and said, "Come on, Grandma Qiu will heat up your food. Let's eat first, without waiting for your grandpa and uncle."

“Hey, you guys eat first. Xiao Qiu is still growing and can’t go hungry. I told you to eat first, but you didn’t listen.”

Waving at them, Zhang Fu smiled and urged, "Don't wait for us. I'll have Aqi have a couple of drinks with you later."

……

The Su Family's Little Red Building on Xinyuan Road, Shanghai.

"How's it going, Feng? Is Qiao back yet?"

"I didn't see it."

Two figures, one tall and one short, stood anxiously in front of the large window of the second-floor balcony, tiptoeing and peering out at the dimly lit alleyway.

"Hey, it's Brother Qiao! Brother Qiao is back!"

As soon as Xiao Qiao entered the iron gate, he saw his two younger brothers waving at him from upstairs, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his dirty face.

He quickly entered the gate, locked it, and climbed the stairs to the second floor.

Have you two eaten?

"Not yet, we're waiting for you to come back so we can eat together."

"Okay, let's go, let's eat first. We'll talk after we finish eating."

Tang Feng nodded and agreed, then went to the kitchen first. He had kept the food warm in the pot, so all he had to do was lift the lid and take it out to eat.

Thanks to Sister Ning, they now not only have a home, but they also no longer have to go hungry.

Although she told them to eat the rice from home without worry when she left, the three of them, used to being reluctant to part with grains, never thought they would actually waste it when they had premium rice.

Aside from the rice they used to barter, the three of them exchanged this premium rice for coarse grains as their rations.

The three of them were already very content with just that.

Perhaps because they had been hungry for so long, the three boys, who were not quite grown up, ate faster than the other.

After swallowing the last mouthful of cornmeal and finishing the soup without leaving a trace, Tang Feng wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and began to tell Xiao Qiao the information he had gathered.

"That's roughly how it is. There's nothing more that Ming and the others know."

"Brother Qiao, the Yan family is finished. I heard that the whole family was sent down to different places, and the small buildings in the compound have been confiscated."

He tapped Tang Feng's forehead repeatedly, clicking his tongue in amazement, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Qiao put on a stern face and said, "What's with that expression? This must be a family that Sister Su Ning is very close to."

"what?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Otherwise, why would I have asked you to find out this information?!"

"Then, what can we do? How can we help? But they've already been taken away, haven't they?"

"Go and find out again tomorrow, see if you can find a way to get those specific addresses of the decentralization."

"Okay, I'll go first thing tomorrow morning."

"Be smart. It's okay if you can't get the answer, but don't get yourself into trouble."

"Don't worry, Brother Qiao, I know."
