Zhou Yuanfei’s face was not good, but he didn’t dare to attack because the two police officers were still there.

Ji Ying instructed, “Add me on WeChat later. This is my cell phone number. Contact me anytime if you have any problems.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Yining nodded to her gratefully.

It was also ridiculous to say that the original owner’s family treated the original owner like this, even worse than an outsider.

Although Zhou Yuanfei was angry when he looked at Zhou Yining, he didn’t want to provoke the police anymore.

It was almost 12 o’clock, and he really didn’t want to go to the police station.

Then he began to say good things to Ji Ying.

“Officer Ji, I was really wrong just now. You see that we have apologized, and we have calmed down now. Don’t worry, I will definitely not attack her again. You also left her your contact information just now. Do you think I can not go to the police station? It’s so late, and it’s too much trouble for you.” Zhou Yuanfei said with a smile.

Ji Ying felt that he shouldn’t dare to attack Zhou Yining again, and this kind of thing was just verbal education when they went back.

The report they received was actually that the sound from this family at 501 was too loud and disturbed the people, so the problem had actually been solved at this time.

Ji Ying nodded. “Don’t do it again. It’s better for parents to be fair.”

Ji Ying said something to her colleague.

The two of them sorted out the statements, had Zhou Yuanfei and the others sign them, and then left.

When they got downstairs, the male police officer next to Ji Ying said,

“You don’t actually have to leave your personal contact information. This family is so strange. I’m afraid that child will have a lot of trouble in the future. If she calls you every day, won’t that be a lot of trouble?”

Ji Ying shook her head. “I’ll help if I can. I think that child is very strong. It’s not easy to be able to resist after living in this environment for so many years.”

“You are just too kind.” The male police officer shook his head with a smile.

On the other side of 501, after the two police officers left, Zhou Yuanfei glared at Zhou Yining angrily and mocked,

“Okay, now you have the police to support you. Are you afraid of poking a hole in the sky?”

Zhou Yining was not afraid of him either. She just stared at him coldly.

“You can try. If you provoke me, I don’t mind poking a hole in the sky.”

“Hmph.” Zhou Yuanfei glared at her, but he didn’t dare to do anything again.

He went straight to the bedroom and slammed the door on purpose.

Zhou Jiaming covered his face and glared at Zhou Yining.

He was really unlucky today. He thought he would come out to add fuel to the fire so that his dad could beat Zhou Yining up, but he was the one who was slapped.

The point was that he also apologized to Zhou Yining.

Zhou Jiaming’s face turned green and white. The way he looked at Zhou Yining was full of disapproval.

Zhou Yining glanced at him lightly and smiled,

“Take care of your stinky mouth in the future. If you can’t control it, don’t blame me for doing it for you.”

“Zhou Yining, you…” Zhou Jiaming wanted to say something else, but Zhao Xiuna stopped him.

“Jiaming, don’t argue with your sister. Go back to your room. Mom will get you an ice pack to apply, otherwise your face will be swollen in the morning.”

“Hmph, Zhou Yining, don’t think I’m afraid of you.” Zhou Jiaming said fiercely again before reluctantly going back to his room.

Zhao Xiuna went to look at Zhou Yining with red eyes.

She reached out and wanted to hold Zhou Yining’s hand, but Zhou Yining dodged it.

Zhou Yining glanced at her lightly, raised her eyelids, and said, “It’s already like this, so there’s no need to play the motherly love card, right? I don’t buy it. You should go and coax your good son.”

Zhou Yining took her change of clothes with a cold expression and went straight to the bathroom.

Zhao Xiuna couldn’t help but cry.

She really couldn’t understand how her obedient daughter could become so aggressive now.

She clearly used to think of the family in everything and wouldn’t fight with her younger brother.

How did she become like this now?

Zhao Xiuna couldn’t help but feel tired.

She didn’t like Zhou Yining’s change.

If it was the former Zhou Yining, she would obediently apologize to her and explain a lot to her. She wouldn’t have made things like this today.

Zhao Xiuna wiped away her tears and walked to the bedroom.

Zhou Yining came out of the shower at 10:30.

She dried her hair with a hair dryer and then came to the restaurant.

Looking at the narrow single bed in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel sad for the original owner.

The original owner was already seventeen years old, but she was trapped in this small family, unable to breathe under the pressure of others.

She had lived through a lifetime, and sometimes she couldn’t help but get angry.

What about the original owner?

How much anger had she silently endured in this family? How much unfair treatment had she received?

Zhou Yining sat down on the small bed and lay down to rest.

The next morning, she woke up to the alarm clock as usual.

Zhou Yuanfei and Zhou Jiaming were already sitting at the dining table.

The two of them were talking about something warmly, but when they saw Zhou Yining coming out, they both stopped talking at the same time.

Zhou Yining didn’t even look at them and went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

When she came out, the rice porridge and steamed buns on the dining table had been placed.

Zhou Yining didn’t care about anyone else.

Anyway, she couldn’t starve to death.

She directly took a bowl of porridge to herself, then ate the steamed buns, not even looking at the other three people in Zhou’s family.

Zhao Xiuna was afraid that they would start arguing again early in the morning, so she quickly said, “Okay, let’s all eat first.”

“Hmph.” Zhou Jiaming glared at Zhou Yining fiercely.

After all, the slap yesterday had hurt him, so he didn’t dare to say anything more.

His useless sister had become difficult to deal with now.

If he provoked her a little, she would start going crazy.

Anyway, he had been unlucky every time he had been against Zhou Yining recently.

Zhou Yuanfei didn’t want to look at Zhou Yining even more.

She had almost gotten him into the police station last night, and the nosy police officer had even left her contact information.

Zhou Yuanfei was still a little afraid of the police, so he didn’t want to be against Zhou Yining again.

The dining table was quite silent, but Zhou Yining ate with gusto.

She still liked the eggs and rice porridge in the morning.

After she finished a bowl of rice porridge, she got up, took her things, and left, not saying a word to anyone.

After Zhou Yining closed the door, Zhou Yuanfei put his chopsticks heavily on the bowl and cursed, “Look, this is the good daughter I raised with so much money. I raised an enemy!”

“That’s right, Zhou Yining is crazy now. Her grades are bad, and she’s always causing trouble at home. How could I have such a sister?” Zhou Jiaming quickly added fuel to the fire.

Zhou Yuanfei sighed, “With her like this and her poor grades, I don’t think she needs to go to college. After graduating from high school, she can go to a two-year college and get married.”

“That’s right. She has been eating and drinking from the family for so many years, so we have to ask for more dowry money.”

Zhou Jiaming’s mind became active when he said this. He was the boy in the family, so Zhou Yining’s dowry would all be his in the future.

“That’s right, it can’t be less than seventy or eighty thousand.” Zhou Yuanfei snorted coldly.

Zhao Xiuna looked at the father and son saying these things. She couldn’t help but say,

“What if Yining gets into college?”

“With her bottom-ranked grades, what kind of college can she get into? What’s the use of getting into a junior college? It’s better to save those tens of thousands of dollars and let her work. The family has raised her for so many years, so it’s time for her to repay us.” Zhou Yuanfei snorted coldly.

“But…”

Zhao Xiuna wanted to say something else, but Zhou Yuanfei interrupted her impatiently,

“But what? That’s it. Even if she gets into college, I won’t give her a penny for tuition.”

At this moment, Zhou Yining didn’t know that her family had already started calculating the dowry money. She was in a good mood as she walked to school.

Because it was early to go to school, the shops around the school opened very early as well.

Zhou Yining took the math knowledge points she had summarized last night to the print shop.

“Boss, can I copy something here?”

“Yes, if you’re a student, I’ll give you a discount. What do you want to print?”

“This.” Zhou Yining took out her notebook.

“Okay, let me see how many pages there are in total.” The boss counted and said, “You’re my first customer in the morning, so just give me 15.”

Zhou Yining nodded and paid the money.

She sighed. She was really poor now.

She only had 70 yuan left.

Soon, the boss helped her make copies and even added a cover and bound the copied papers.

“Okay, see if it’s okay?”

“Okay, thank you.” Zhou Yining looked through it.

The handwriting was printed very clearly, and she left the print shop very satisfied.

Tian Xue was a friend of the original owner.

Although Zhou Yining felt that her personality didn’t match Tian Xue’s, she was a friend of the original owner after all.

If she could take care of her, Zhou Yining would take care of her along the way.
