The girl took the five hundred dollars and glared at Chen Zhao.
"You're lucky this time. Watch the road next time."
"F * ck, give me back my money."
The girl ran away, not forgetting to give Chen Zhao the middle finger when she turned back.
Chen Zhao looked at the girl running away and pursed his lips.
If he really wanted to catch the girl, she probably wouldn't be able to run away even if she broke her legs.
But he guessed that this woman was also from Mountain Town.
The people in town often saw each other, so Chen Zhao didn't want to be too calculative.
Chen Zhao arrived at the town and stopped at the entrance of the supermarket.
He bought some things. When he came out, he saw Bant and Mary moving things. The two of them were carrying a plastic bucket. There were a few more on the ground.
Chen Zhao went up and helped them move the things into the car.
In town, Chen Zhao was very familiar with Bant and Mary's families.
The two families would occasionally visit each other.
"Chen, thank you." Mary tiptoed and hugged Chen Zhao.
"Darling, what are these heavy buckets?"
"Wheat. Our family brews some wheat beer around this time every year. Chen, when we're done, we'll send you a bucket."
"Don't send it to my house," Chen Zhao said hurriedly. "When you're free, let me drink at your house. Fali's pregnant. Not only does she not drink, she doesn't even allow me to drink at home."
"Really? Fali's pregnant? Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's a good thing. "Bant and Mary were both happy for Chen Zhao and Fali.
"Oh, where's Ken? I don't think I've seen him recently. "
"I don't know what he's doing outside, but he hasn't asked us for money recently," Bant said. "Chen, I made some baby baskets and cribs. I'll send them over later."
Bant and Mary both knew that Chen Zhao had a daughter.
They weren't rich themselves, so they couldn't give anything valuable.
So he was thinking of giving Gerlyn something practical.
"Sure, thank you." Most of the wooden furniture in Chen Zhao's house was made by Bant's workshop. The quality was excellent.
Therefore, Chen Zhao would ask Bant to do all the carpentry work.
Mary was a very diligent woman. Chen Zhao had introduced her to her job as a nanny.
The Dell family was too big, and Mary couldn't manage it all by herself.
So recently, they recruited a few more mediocre people, and of course, Mary was promoted.
She worked as a housekeeper in Dell's house and took care of Dell and Fisher's daily life in an orderly manner.
Mary wasn't very educated, but in front of Dell and Faith, she was like an old mother.
He usually helped out with the chores, but when Yan Li got up, even Dell had to give way.
Dell also paid Mary quite well, so Bant and Mary's family's income increased as well.
The three of them were not in a hurry to go home. Instead, they sat in the open-air bar outside the supermarket, drinking and chatting.
Just then, Chen Zhao saw the girl who had tried to blackmail his car walk across the street.
"Who is that girl? It looks strange. "
"Lynn Beavers disappeared for a year after graduating from high school. She only came back recently. Her parents even called the police," Bant said. "Why are you suddenly interested in her? I've seen many pretty girls in town flirt with you, but you don't pay them any attention. "
"We met earlier," Chen Zhao said indifferently. "It's time to go back."
"Drive slowly," Mary reminded him carefully.
Chen Zhao hugged Mary and then Bant. "Goodbye."
When Chen Zhao got home, he saw Fali doing yoga.
Princess was lying on the grass beside her.
Little Gerlyn nestled under the princess's belly and fell asleep like a kitten.
What she liked the most was to nestle in the Princess's arms, soft and warm.
Fali's belly was already slightly bulging.
Usually, pregnant women's bellies would bulge in the first month.
But Fali was faster.
As soon as Chen Zhao went up, Fali stopped her yoga.
"Chen, did you drink outside?"
Damn, no way. He only drank a bottle of beer. How could he smell it?
"Err … I met Bant and Mary in town, so I drank."
"Go shower, now, immediately."
Fine, you're the boss. Whatever you say.
Just then, a car stopped at the front door.
Chen Zhao walked up and a middle-aged couple got out.
They seemed to be from town, but Chen Zhao had probably not met them before.
"Hi, how can I help you?"
"Hi, Mr. Chen. We're here to ask for your help."
The middle-aged couple seemed to be in a hurry. Chen Zhao thought about it.
If they wanted to borrow money, he had to think about it.
After all, he didn't know them at all.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's my daughter," the man said urgently. "She's having a seizure. Mr. Chen, can you please go and see her?"
"You didn't send her to the hospital?" Chen Zhao asked, confused.
"Actually, we did. The doctor prescribed a few anti-epilepsy drugs. It worked the first few times, but this time, it didn't work at all."
"Fali, I'm going out for a while."
"Okay," Fali replied. "Come back soon."
"Let's go," Chen Zhao said.
Since they were neighbors, there was no need to be so calculative about helping.
Chen Zhao got into the couple's car. In the car, Chen Zhao learned that the couple was called Plummer and Sandra.
After reaching their house, Chen Zhao saw that the house was a bit messy.
Opening the door to their daughter's room, Chen Zhao realized that the convulsing girl on the bed was the girl who had tried to blackmail him, Lynn Beevers.
Her limbs were tied to the headboard and her mouth was tied with a rope. She was spitting.
Chen Zhao sat on the bed and put down his toolbox. First, he opened Lynn Beevers' eyelids.
"Do you have her medical report?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Yes, this one." Plummer handed him his daughter's report.
"Do you or your wife have epilepsy in your family?" Chen Zhao asked.
"No, we don't have epilepsy. None of our elders have epilepsy either."
"Then when did she start having epilepsy?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Lynn didn't have epilepsy before. She just came back recently and was suddenly diagnosed with epilepsy."
Chen Zhao frowned. This didn't seem to be a normal situation.
Children and the elderly often had epilepsy. When children grew up, the number of seizures and symptoms would decrease. They might even be cured.
For adults who didn't have a similar history, epilepsy could be caused by surgery or trauma. It could also be caused by stimulants.
