Chapter 285 Things Did Things Take a Different Turn

Zhou Yusheng's investigation is progressing rapidly due to the introduction of new evidence.

The reason there was no thorough investigation before was because the old house was dilapidated and caught fire quickly. Only one child survived, but that was all; the child was also injured, so no one suspected anything.

After several days of investigation, Zhou Yusheng is on his way back with evidence.

At this moment, Shi Xia had already packed her luggage and was ready to leave.

She picked up her bag and left, locking the door. As soon as she turned around, she saw Zhou Zhaodi standing gloomily at her door.

At that moment, Shi Xia had only one thought in her mind: You've only killed a few people, why are you pretending to be so sinister here?

Shi Xia rolled her eyes at Zhou Zhaodi.

"Stay away from my front door."

"It's you? It must be you. What did you say?"

Zhou Zhaodi couldn't understand why everyone was suddenly gone from home when everything was fine.

She wasn't stupid; it was precisely because she wasn't stupid that she was able to plan a fire, making herself the only survivor among her relatives, who were officers in the military.

Only in this way can she be adopted by Zhou Yusheng and have a different life.

"I said you don't seem like a good person."

Shi Xia's answer was unexpected by Zhou Zhaodi; she admitted it?

But admitting it too quickly, is he playing some kind of trick?

Zhou Zhaodi was unaware that there was a type of person who possessed immense power and didn't need to feign compliance; she could do whatever she wanted.

"Why did you do this to me! My whole family is dead, I only have this one relative left, why did you do this to me!"

"What did I do to offend you? Just because of my scar, you say I'm not a good person!"

Zhou Zhaodi called out.

Shi Xia glanced at it, calmly locked the door, and prepared to smear her.

She felt that Zhou Zhaodi must not have done any basic investigation.

Shi Xia guessed correctly. Zhou Zhaodi was busy pretending to be low-key and obedient. Since arriving at the family compound, she hadn't gone out much, all in order to quickly win over Lin Sisi and Zhou Yusheng.

Because of this, she completely missed the legends about Shi Xia in the family compound.

When Zhou Zhaodi called out, the women came out and saw Shi Xia, who was calm and looking like she was watching a good show, and Zhou Zhaodi, who was crying pitifully and making accusations.

Zhou Zhaodi bit Shi Xia to death because she was startled by her face. She narrow-mindedly spoke ill of Shi Xia to Lin Sisi, who naively trusted her, and then Shi Xia was disliked.

"Please, I beg you, I really didn't mean to scare you. I didn't want to look like this. Please, don't let my uncle kick me out. I really have nowhere else to go!"

"I have no family left!"

"Please! Please!"

Zhou Zhaodi knelt down and kowtowed, but her ears were filled with the discussions of the people around her.

She often used this tactic to make the villagers extremely disgusted with her family.

"Zhou Zhaodi? What did she do wrong?"

"Who knows? Going up against Shi Xia is definitely a mistake for her."

"Of course! You even scared Shi Xia? That's just bragging."

"Why hasn't Shi Xia beaten her up yet?"

"I guess they wanted to see what Zhou Zhaodi had to say."

There was indeed some discussion around, but it was completely different from what Zhou Zhaodi had in mind.

"You—you're in cahoots with Shi Xia! You all bully me just because I have no family and no connections!"

Zhou Zhaodi began to criticize indiscriminately. Shi Xia had seen enough and needed to go home.

"I thought I'd think highly of you, but this is all you've got? Your methods are so unsophisticated."

"Sister Zhang, call two patrolmen over and lock her up first."

"it is good!"

Aunt Zhang turned around and went to call for help.

Zhou Zhaodi wanted to say something, but Shi Xia didn't like it and slapped her so hard her jaw fell off. When the patrolmen came over, Shi Xia pointed at Zhou Zhaodi and said, "Lock her up. She can only be released when Zhou Yusheng comes back, otherwise she might hurt the children in the family compound."

"Yes!"

With just one sentence from Shi Xia, Zhou Zhaodi was taken away without even needing any evidence.

Even now, she still doesn't understand why she was taken away when she came here to smear Shi Xia.

It wasn't a big deal for Shi Xia, but it was huge gossip for the family compound.

Various rumors circulated, but of course no one mentioned Shi Xia.

There was a new woman from the family compound who didn't understand why everyone kept saying bad things about Zhou Zhaodi.

"Since Zhou Zhaodi and Shi Xia got into a fight, Zhou Zhaodi is definitely at fault."

"That's right, anyone who fights with Shi Xia is definitely not Shi Xia's fault, no matter how righteous that person seems, it's unacceptable!"

After being enlightened by a group of older women, the newcomer remembered one name deeply—Shi Xia.

At this time, Shi Xia had already sailed back to Hai San Island.

As soon as she arrived in Shanghai's Sanshima, she sensed that something was amiss.

It's almost Chinese New Year, but there's no red decorations and no laughter; something's not right.

Moreover, the usually bustling beach is deserted today. Where are they?

Shi Xia walked towards the village, but after walking a long way, she didn't see a single person.

"quack?"

The questioning "Gaga" made Shi Xia turn her head and smile at Da Bai.

"Big White, where are the villagers?"

Big White rushed over first, its two wings like arms on its hips, and placed on the chubby butt.

"Gaa gaa gaa gaa gaa!"

Shi Xia actually started to understand the intricacies of education.

"I'm on a diet recently."

"Gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga ah gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga—"

Shi Xia's head was throbbing with pain from Da Bai. Where did he learn this nagging habit from?
"Alright, stop chattering and take me to find someone!"

Da Bai finally stopped nagging and led Shi Xia toward the village's ancestral hall.

Of course, it can't be called an ancestral hall now; it's called a grand auditorium.

This is where we usually teach literacy to the villagers, and it's also where we dry vegetables.

Shi Xia walked over and saw a group of dusty people in the distance.

Ever since she got the fabric from the textile factory, the villagers haven't worn drab colors for a long time.

She moved closer and stood at the very back. When the villagers behind her saw Shi Xia, their eyes lit up.

Shi Xia nodded and made a quiet gesture, which the other person understood and nodded back.

"Comrades, we must carry forward the spirit of hard work and plain living... Remembering the bitterness of the past and appreciating the sweetness of the present... Let's begin now."

A meal to remind people of past hardships and appreciate present happiness?
Shi Xia looked at the four leaders dressed in Zhongshan suits on the stage, then at Uncle Cao who was secretly rolling his eyes countless times, and Accountant Xu whose mouth was practically twisted in a grotesque smile, and she roughly understood.

Wenger has brought back people (all homophones) to give him a hard-working education.

Shi Xia frowned.

It's not that she's arrogant, it's that she's really amazing.

The submarine is still lying in the sea.

The county government readily provided her with production lines and fishing boats; even the county's top leader beamed with joy whenever he saw her.

How dare these people come to Hai San Island for inspection?
They're either mentally ill or new.

Shi Xia was right. The people on the stage were parachuted in, and the new department was eager to make a splash, with the first one being the three islands in the sea.
