After a day, Xie Chaochao became even more popular in school.
Some children were still asking if they could get Xie Chaochao’s father to catch a tiger for them.
The weather suddenly changed.
It had been raining heavily since noon.
Sun Limin was still worried that the children would run out to the campus during their lunch break to play and get drenched in mud water.
In the end, she saw Xie Chaochao leading a group of people, including the tiger and the fox, to play in the classroom. Xie Chaochao helped reduce Sun Limin’s workload.
She suddenly felt that Xie Zhou was right to send Xie Chaochao to school.
She thought that she must treat Xie Chaochao better in the future.
After school had ended, Xie Chaochao waited at the entrance for Xie Zhou to pick her up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe parents who came to pick up their children were discussing nonstop.
“Xie Zhou definitely won’t be able to return. He has already been trapped underneath, how can he still be alive!”
“Sigh, Xie Zhou is dead. What are we going to do in the future?”
Sun Limin looked at Xie Chaochao, who was standing there silently.
The little girl had one arm around the tiger, as if she hadn’t heard what they said.
Sun Limin felt upset.
She squatted down and said to her, “Chaochao, can I send you home first? Your father will be back tomorrow!”
She didn’t know how to say such cruel words to Xie Chaochao, so she could only coax the little girl first.
Xie Chaochao nodded silently. Sun Limin held her hand as she led her home.
On the way, some people saw Xie Chaochao and started discussing softly.
“This Xie Zhou has a tough life. It must be this little monster’s tough life that jinxed him!”
“That’s right. I heard from my old man that someone was in a more dangerous position than Xie Zhou. However, in the end, only Xie Zhou was trapped underground!”
“Aiyo, isn’t that weird? He must have been jinxed!”
All of them distanced themselves from Xie Chaochao.
At this moment, Sun Chengfu and his wife walked over.
He chased the gossips away angrily. “Shut up, all of you. Xie Zhou has helped so many people in our village before. Now that he’s in trouble, are you going to treat his daughter like this?”
Although Sun Chengfu was also a little afraid of Xie Chaochao, he always felt that this little girl was too strange.
However, he also knew that this little girl was Xie Zhou’s most precious daughter. He definitely wouldn’t want to see her suffer any grievances.
Although he was not a good person, he still had some conscience.
If it wasn’t for Xie Zhou, their village wouldn’t be where it was now. He had been working under Xie Zhou for the past few years, managing the transport team. His family’s income was also much higher than before.
This was all thanks to Xie Zhou.
Hence, he couldn’t be sure if something had happened to Xie Zhou. However, he had to take good care of Xie Zhou’s precious daughter first.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSun Chengfu and his wife brought Xie Chaochao back to the old house at the end of the village.
Even though he was still afraid of this place, after so many years, it was still better than before.
After all, Xie Chaochao and Xie Zhou had lived here for so many years and were doing well!
“Chaochao, stay at home. Your aunt will cook for you. After you finish eating, get a good sleep, okay?”
“Where’s my father?”
Xie Chaochao had asked only this question ever since school ended.
Sun Chengfu looked at the little girl, not knowing if he should tell her the truth.
Sun Chengfu’s wife looked at the little girl and felt pity for her.
“Your father is still on the mountain. He might be back tomorrow. After you have eaten and slept, you’ll see him tomorrow!”
Xie Chaochao looked at the woman and asked, “They said that the top of the mountain had collapsed and my father was trapped underneath. They even said that my father is dead?”
Sun Chengfu cursed at those women in his heart.
All they did was talk nonsense.
Looking at the stubborn look in the little girl’s eyes, he could not say anything to coax her.
“Yes, the rain was too heavy and the top of the mountain had collapsed. Your father did not manage to escape and was trapped underneath. We will form a team of people to look for him. We will definitely find your father!”
I just would not be sure if the one found would be alive or…
