Chapter 420: Going to Jail

She had thought that Xinyi was the only bloodline left by their son, so they should treat her better on account of their blood ties.
However, she did not expect them to sell their granddaughter.
It was because of this that Deng Juan made up her mind to leave the village with Xinyi.
Moreover, the mother and daughter now had friends in the city.
Xinyi had helped Yang Jingyi block the knife, so they would have helped.
With the opportunity to take root in the city, she naturally couldn’t wait.
Of course, she wasn’t doing it for herself.
The education in the city was definitely better than in the county. Otherwise, why would Ji Yuanyuan and Yang Jingyi come to the city?
As long as Xinyi could receive a better education, she was willing to do anything.
Fang Xinyi’s voice was a little low, “But we’ve all left. Father is there alone, all alone…”
Deng Juan’s nose was a little sore, but she still forced herself to endure it and comforted her daughter, “When we have money in the future, we’ll move your Father’s grave to the city.”
Seeing that the mother and daughter were getting more and more emotional, Li Xu quickly opened his mouth and changed the topic.
“Xinyi will be discharged soon. You should look for a place to stay nearby. You don’t have to worry about transferring schools. Chunli and I are both experienced. Well just take you to do it. Also, we probably have to wait a little longer to open the shop. We haven’t chosen the location and the shop yet. Chunli and I have discussed it and will look for it in the next few days.”
Deng Juan heard that Li Xu had arranged everything and thanked her profusely, “Thank you, thank you. If it weren’t for you guys, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”
Li Xu waved her hand, “Let’s not talk about this now. Alright, I’ll stay here and look after Xinyi. You should go to the bank and deposit the money first. Otherwise, the bank will be closed later.”
Deng Juan nodded. She carefully packed the bag and turned to leave.
When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something and stopped in her tracks. She turned around and said, “Oh right, I’ve asked the police. In this situation, I’m afraid they’ll all go to jail.”
Deng Juan then strode away.
Li Xu naturally knew who Deng Juan was referring to.
This result was within her expectations.
This was all their own fault. They could not blame anyone else.
Li Xu was busy looking for a shop, and Hu Chunli had brought Deng Juan to handle the procedures for Fang Xinyi’s transfer.
In two days, all the procedures were completed.
Teacher Huo knew that Fang Xinyi was fine and that she was going to transfer to the city to study. He was very happy for her.
Therefore, he let her go without hesitation.
As long as the child could have a good future, it did not matter if she was his student or not.
However, Fang Xinyi was still in the hospital. She had to stay for at least another week and a half before she could be discharged.
Fortunately, the teachers at the new school were understanding of Fang Xinyi’s situation and did not rush her.
After that, Hu Chunli and Li Xu began to devote themselves to finding a shop.
Deng Juan also started to look for a house.
Although she had money now, it was not much.
She didn’t dare to look for a good store, so she could only look for one in the urban village.
Her child needed money to go to school. Although she had agreed on the job, it had not been confirmed.
It was better to save money.
However, Deng Juan didn’t want Fang Xinyi to suffer too much, so the house she found in the urban village was relatively good.
It was only 50 yuan a month. There were two rooms and a small yard. The door locks were very strong. The landlord lived next door, so there was no need to worry about safety.
On Li Xu and Hu Chunli’s side, there was also some progress on the store.
The two of them had their eyes on a location. It was not far from the school and the price was reasonable.
Soon, the two of them decided on the shop.
There was no need to renovate the shop. She only needed to buy some shelves and things like that before it could be put into use.
Li Xu and Hu Chunli went to the second-hand market as usual.
They changed a few shelves, tables, and stools.
Although the color of the shelves was different, it did not affect the use.
The opening day was set for the second day of February. It was a good day, Sat.u.r.day.
Fang Xinyi was discharged on the last day of the first lunar month.
After she was discharged from the hospital, she was successfully placed into Cla.s.s 5 of Grade 7, becoming cla.s.smates with Ji Yuanyuan and Yang Jingyi.
On the day of the opening, Meng Qingxin drove the vegetables over early in the morning.
Li Lei and Li Yong were very busy now. They had no time to deliver vegetables to the shop.
It just so happened that Meng Qingxin had nothing to do. Now that he was old and his daughter and son had families, there were not many places where he needed money.
Therefore, Liang Huimei didn’t let Meng Qingxin go on a long journey.
The long-distance was long and tiring. He often needed to drive at night, which was too dangerous.
However, even though he was at the age of retirement, Meng Qingxian had been driving for half his life. He could not relax at all.
Meng Xiaoning pondered for a moment and discussed with Li Lei letting Meng Qingxin be in charge of delivering vegetables to their shop.
He was just wandering around the county and the city.
Moreover, the working hours were not long. Basically, they could finish the delivery in the morning and rest in the afternoon.
The weather was cold now so the vegetables could be kept longer. Therefore, Meng Qingxin sent a lot over. It was enough for them to sell for two to three days.
It was still dark outside. The lights in the shop were already on.
Li Xu, Hu Chunli, Deng Juan, and Zhang Kun were all busy unloading the vegetables from the car.
When Deng Juan and Hu Chunli came over, they sent their children to Li Xu’s house, so they didn’t have any worries when they started working.
The four of them unloaded half a cart of vegetables in half an hour.
He took out some of the vegetables that he used during the day and piled the rest of the vegetables into the small warehouse at the back.
Meng Qingxin drove away. Li Xu also urged Zhang Kun to go home and cook for the children.
There were only three women left in the shop.
Although Deng Juan was small, she was very strong. She moved around and did not feel tired at all.
She sorted the vegetables and placed them on the shelves. Then, she stuck the price tags under the corresponding vegetables and hung the transparent plastic bags on the nails on the shelves.
After doing these, Li Xu patted the dust off his hands, looked around, and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, she took a piece of cardboard from the side and showed it to the two of them, “My eldest son wrote it. Isn’t his writing getting better and better?”
Hu Chunli took it and looked at it with envy in her eyes, “Look at your son Zixuan. He’s good-looking, has good grades, is sensible, and even has good handwriting. Is there anything he can’t do?”
Li Xu smiled and hung the board on the wall outside.
Deng Juan’s eyes were filled with envy as she listened to Hu Chunli’s words..
