After her rebirth, she became an unattainable woman.

Chapter 219 Sending them back to their hometown

Song Qiao couldn't explain what happened in her past life. Since the police wanted her to take Jiang Xiaoran with her, as her adoptive mother, she had no choice but to bring Jiang Xiaoran out.

But fearing she might cause trouble, after thinking it over, the best arrangement was to send her to Jiang Ming's mother's place.

"Officer Liu, I'll be right there to pick up Jiang Xiaoran."

This time, she needs to explain to the police that she can't take the child with her and can only send her to her grandmother's house.

After arranging things at Zhang Yao's company, Song Qiao drove to the police station.

When Song Qiao saw Jiang Xiaoran, she was still surprised. Now, all she had was her weight.

"Ranran, can I send you to my hometown to see your grandma?"

Jiang Xiaoran looked at Song Qiao with pleading in her eyes: "Mom, I don't want to go to Grandma's house, I want to stay with you."

Jiang Xiaoran's compromise did not move Song Qiao. She shook her head and said, "I'm too busy with work to take care of you. You should go to your grandma's house."

The police also knew that Song Qiao and Jiang Xiaoran had no relationship anymore. Da Liu also advised, "Go ahead, be good when you get to Grandma's house, lose weight, and be a good child."

Da Liu believes that Jiang Xiaoran is just a child, and as long as she is properly educated, she will definitely change for the better. He also believes that her grandmother will treat her granddaughter well.

Only Song Qiao understood that this child was beyond saving.

"OK then!"

On the way to take Jiang Xiaoran to her hometown, Pingzi Mountain, Song Qiao made a phone call to Zhang Dalan.

The other party answered: "Hello!"

“Auntie, this is Song Qiao. Zhao Xiaoya is in trouble and is at the police station. I’ve brought Jiang Xiaoran back to you.”

When Zhang Dalan heard on the phone that Song Qiao had sent Jiang Xiaoran back to her hometown, she hurriedly said, "I'm penniless now, and it's so cold. There's not even a stove at home. Will she be able to adapt if you send her back? I think you should take her back with you."

“It’s impossible to take her back now. Jiang Ming can’t be found, and Zhao Xiaoya is at the police station. You are the child’s only relative and her only guardian. If you don’t take her, no one will.”

Zhang Dalan had long regretted instigating her son to divorce Song Qiao, which had ruined their family. She was full of resentment and was about to settle scores with Zhao Xiaoya when Jiang Xiaoran returned. So she decided to start with her.

With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, she has nothing to eat and is relying entirely on her neighbors' meager savings. Now that Song Qiao is back, it would be perfect for her to ask for some money for the New Year.

Over the phone, Zhang Dalan agreed to Song Qiao's request and waited at home for her and Jiang Xiaoran to return.

On the way, Song Qiao called Lu Mingxuan but couldn't get through. She saw a message on WeChat that he had surgery that day and left him a message saying that she had returned to Jiang Ming's hometown, Pingzi Village.

On the way, Song Qiao bought Jiang Xiaoran some snacks to keep her in line, and she sat there eating them the whole time.

"Ranran, when you get to your hometown, you must listen to your grandma and be a good child."

"understood!"

For the sake of the snacks, Jiang Xiaoran did not object to Song Qiao. She knew that Song Qiao was the only one who could give her a good life, and she could not disobey her.

It took about an hour to get there, and around noon, Song Qiao took Jiang Xiaoran back to Pingzi Village.

After finding Zhang Dalan's house, Song Qiao saw an old woman with a hunched back standing at the gate and drove over.

As I got closer, I saw that the person at the door was Zhang Dalan. She was wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket and trousers and was shivering from the cold. She came up to greet me when she saw the car stop.

"Song Qiao, you're here?"

In the past, she wouldn't have given her a second glance; her eyes were only on her granddaughter, Jiang Xiaoran.

But now the tables have turned.

Song Qiao remembered that in her previous life, although Zhang Dalan was sharp-tongued and mean-spirited, she had no intention of harming others. Seeing her current situation, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.

"Auntie, Ranran is in your care. This is what the police want."

On the way, Song Qiao had already considered that this place was too far from Jiangcheng. If the old lady caused any trouble, how would she get away?

If Zhang Dalan said she was there on behalf of the police, she would be more wary.

She didn't harm her in her previous life because she wasn't destitute. She should be more careful in this life.

Sure enough, when Zhang Dalan heard that it was the police, she had no choice but to lead Jiang Xiaoran through the gate.

"Song Qiao, come in. Auntie wants to sincerely apologize to you."

Song Qiao wasn't sure if Jiang Ming was in the old house, so she shook her head: "I won't go, I have things to do back home."

After saying this, Song Qiao took out a stack of money from the car: "This is three thousand yuan. It's almost Chinese New Year, so buy some food and some coal for heating. I'm leaving now!"

After handing the money to Zhang Dalan, Song Qiao turned and got into the car.

Looking at the money in her hand, Zhang Dalan could only wave her hand repeatedly: "Why don't you stay and have a meal?"

She and her son had always been the ones who wronged Song Qiao, but now that she was in this situation, she was filled with remorse.

When Jiang Xiaoran entered the room, she saw that it was dirty and she was shivering from the cold. She looked at Zhang Dalan and asked, "Why didn't you turn on the air conditioner?"

"I'll turn on the air conditioner? I don't have an air conditioner! I'm living comfortably in my city house, and your mother took it over. She deserved to be arrested!"

Jiang Xiaoran was cunning despite her young age. She glanced at Zhang Dalan but didn't confront her directly. Instead, she looked at the three thousand yuan in Zhang Dalan's hand and said, "This money was given to me by Song Qiao. You can't take it. I'll take it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dalan slapped her hands away: "Get away! If you don't behave and obey me, I'll throw you out, or I'll actually sell you for money."

Jiang Xiaoran looked up at Zhang Dalan, but she still couldn't beat her, so she kept quiet.

“You’re unwanted now that you’re back. You’re staying here with me. You’ll do whatever I tell you to do, understand?”

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoran remained silent, Zhang Dalan threatened, "If you try anything funny again, see how I deal with you!"

After saying this, Zhang Dalan cursed Zhao Xiaoya as a vixen, a treacherous woman who brought ruin to the country, and a shameless slut. After cursing for a while, her gaze fell on Jiang Xiaoran: "You better listen to me, hide your cunning and you'd better behave yourself."

"I understand, Grandma!"

Jiang Xiaoran kept her eyes fixed on the money in her hand, thinking about how to get her hands on so much money so she could go back to Jiangcheng to find her mother.

"Go chop wood!"

There was no coal at home, but at least there was wood that they had collected from the mountain. Looking at Jiang Xiaoran, who was eating until she was round and full, Zhang Dalan thought: She must have plenty of strength, so she assigned her the task of chopping wood.

"I won't!"

Zhang Dalan pinched her ear: "How will you learn if you don't study?"

Jiang Xiaoran felt like her ears were about to fall off, and hurriedly agreed while crying, "I'll go, I'll go, okay?"
