Chapter 239

Chapter 239

Everyone makes mistakes.

Tan Lili is only seventeen years old, a time when thoughts are still immature.

If this incident can help her wake up and change her ways, then she's not beyond redemption.

Yun Xiaoxiao has a good impression of Lei Chunyan and Tan Changbin.

Ever since they joined the base and started working in the fields alongside Feng Jin, the couple has become Feng Jin's right-hand man and woman.

They are hardworking and diligent.

Often, ??‌‌?‌‌???‌‌?‌‌‌??‌‌?‌???‌‌???‌???‌‌?‌‌???‌‌??‌??‌‌???‌??‌‌??‌???‌‌???‌‌??‌‌?‌???‌‌??‌‌???‌‌??‌‌?‌‌??‌‌???‌‌??‌‌??‌‌??‌‌?‌‌????‌?‌‌???‌‌??‌‌?‌???‌‌????‌??‌‌???‌?‌‌??‌?‌??‌‌??‌‌?‌‌???‌‌??‌‌?‌??‍even after it gets dark and everyone else has gone to eat, the couple will still finish sowing the last seeds or applying the fertilizer before heading back to eat.

Such hardworking people are whom she doesn't want to see their only daughter go astray.

So when she first noticed Tan Lili's infatuation at Liu Yi's house, she took it seriously.

Her return was also meant to give her a warning.

But she didn't expect that before she could even give the warning, Tan Lili was already threatening to kill herself.

Bringing her out, she thought, if there's really no hope, then let her die.

As long as she doesn't die in the base and affect everyone's mood.

If she could come to her senses on her own, that would be a good thing.

This result is exactly what she wanted to see.

People cannot grow in a favorable environment; she wanted to wake her up.

To tell her, at this moment, what she should be thinking about.

Not all those miscellaneous thoughts.

"Since you don't want to die anymore, let's go back,"

Yun Xiaoxiao said, jumping down from the tree.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, I've noticed..."

Tan Lili drew out her words, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"I've noticed that although you're young, you seem more mature than many adults."

Yun Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Want to know why?"

"Why?"

Tan Lili's eyes sparkled with genuine curiosity.

Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, "As long as you experience life and death for a long time and taste the darkness of human nature, even a little rabbit will gradually turn into a fierce wolf."

Tan Lili's heart trembled.

Although she couldn't fully understand the meaning behind Yun Xiaoxiao's words,

she could feel the desolation in her voice.

However, she was puzzled.

Isn't Xiaoxiao sister only five years old?

How could she have experienced life and death for a long time, and where did she experience the darkness of human nature?

At home, Tan Changbin and Lei Chunyan, who were anxiously waiting, were pacing back and forth.

"Where do you think the little base leader took Lili?"

"Don't worry, the little base leader knows what she's doing; she won't do anything reckless."

"I'm not worried that the little base leader will do something reckless; I'm worried that Lili is stubborn and won't listen to reason."

The couple sighed, unable to sit still or stand still.

They spent the entire night sitting in the living room, unable to sleep.

They also reflected on whether they had been neglecting their daughter, leading her to overthink.

Suddenly, the air rippled.

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

The anxious couple immediately stood up.

Seeing Tan Lili safe and sound, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Tan Lili suddenly knelt down.

Looking at her parents' bloodshot eyes, clearly having stayed up all night, her voice choked with emotion.

"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. Before, I was bewitched by my own delusions, thinking about all sorts of nonsense, making you worry.

Don't worry, I'll sort out my feelings from now on and work hard with Xiaoxiao sister.

Yi Ge is just a brother, and Huaixue Jie will always be my sister.

I'll treat them as family.

But just family, no more nonsense."

Lei Chunyan and Tan Changbin looked at Tan Lili in disbelief.

They opened their mouths, but for a moment, they didn't know what to say.

They had imagined many different scenarios, but never this one.

They didn't know why, after just one night, their daughter, who was previously stubborn and foolish enough to consider suicide, suddenly seemed like a different person.

There was only one possibility:

The couple looked at Yun Xiaoxiao simultaneously.

"Little base leader, thank..."

"Alright, you guys can catch up; I'm leaving,"

Before the couple could finish their thanks, Yun Xiaoxiao waved her small hand and walked out of the door nonchalantly.

Leaving behind a family of three with grateful eyes.

After leaving, Yun Xiaoxiao went to the first street.

The street was no longer as empty as it was at the beginning.

Now, many shops were open.

She stopped at a snack shop.

"Good morning, little base leader!"

The shopkeeper, a middle-aged woman, greeted Yun Xiaoxiao enthusiastically.

"Auntie, I'll have a hand-pulled pancake with some ham and pork tenderloin."

Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at the handwritten sign on the shop and ordered a hand-pulled pancake.

"Alright, wait a moment, it'll be ready soon,"

The aunt responded enthusiastically, making the pancake with great skill.

Once done, she leaned out, handing the pancake to Yun Xiaoxiao.

Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao about to swipe her card, she quickly stopped her.

"No need, no need; you don't have to pay."

"That won't do; I should pay."

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled, swiping her card on the machine quickly.

She took a big bite of the pancake, eating without any regard for her image, while leisurely strolling through the morning market.

Since everyone hadn't started work yet, the street was bustling.

Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao, people greeted her.

As she strolled, she arrived at the administrative office building.

Mu Yang was already inside.

She shared her plans with him.

Mu Yang immediately issued a notice and posted it on the bulletin board outside the administrative building.

Many people curiously gathered around.

The notice listed various crimes, such as theft, robbery, fighting, assault, and so on.

For each crime, there were corresponding punishments.

The lightest was being thrown into a zombie horde.

The heaviest was being crippled and then thrown into a zombie horde.

This meant that once a crime was committed, there was no chance of survival.

Seeing this, everyone shivered and silently vowed to be good people and never engage in evil deeds!

Taking advantage of the free time, Yun Xiaoxiao also went to the mountain.

Under the leadership of Xie Youcai and his son, the coal mining work was progressing smoothly.

Jin Xiaoqing's family was also helping out.

"Today, the first batch of coal will come out,"

Xie Youcai wiped the dirt from his face and said with a smile.

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively, "Well done. Today, everyone will have a good meal; let's have some meat."

She waved her hand, instructing Jin Xiaoqing and her brother to take people to the foot of the mountain to move things.

Hearing that there would be meat to eat, all the miners were excited.

They worked even harder.

While Yun Xiaoxiao was at the mine, Ci Wan in the hospital slowly opened her eyes.

"Sister Wan, you're awake!"

Sun Xiaoming, who was sitting beside her, immediately straightened up.

"Mmm~"

Ci Wan rubbed her slightly dizzy head, her memories gradually returning.

She looked around.

"We're back?"

Sun Xiaoming nodded and told her everything that had happened after she fainted.

Including the incident where the triangle-eyed man brought people to their doorstep and was dealt with by Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.

(PS: I originally planned to rest after writing two chapters, but today it seems like everyone agreed to send gifts one after another, with quite a few large amounts. Plus, there's a little cutie's birthday, making me feel like I can't not add a chapter. So, I got up immediately to write another chapter.

Extra chapter delivered, love you all~)
