nThe child theft incident attracted the attention of the villagers.

n

nXie Zhou took the lead and proposed to build a security guardhouse at the front of the village.

n

nAlthough there was a village chief in the village, Xie Zhou was their backbone. No one objected to his words.

n

nFurthermore, this concerned their own safety.

n

nAll the villagers paid a share of the money needed to build the guardhouse.

n

nThere were no objections.

n

nEveryone in the village took turns to go on duty. All strangers who entered the village had to register.

n

nNot only at the village entrance, there were also people patrolling the village all day long. There was double protection.

n

nThe two slackers in the village were placed in charge of this matter. Xie Zhou took care of the fees.

n

nThis way, not only would the two slackers not cause trouble for the villagers, but it would also ensure the safety of the village.

n

nThe kindergarten had also hired two security guards. They were people from the village.

n

nIf anything happened, there would be someone to protect these children.

n

nWith only Sun Limin around, they would be helpless if they were to encounter any trouble.

n

nXie Zhou was the big boss of the coal mine. He didn’t monopolize everything, but distributed it to every household in the village.

n

nThe money earned was distributed according to the investment ratio.

n

nOf course, Xie Zhou still received the largest dividend.

n

nEveryone was extremely grateful to Xie Zhou.

n

nIt was all thanks to Xie Zhou that their village could get better.

n

nHow could they not be grateful when Xie Zhou could let bygones be bygones and not bear grudges over what happened to his parents? He even brought them along to make a fortune!

n

n…

n

nTime flew by. In the blink of an eye, Xie Chaochao was about to enter secondary school.

n

nWhen they came to town to report this day, the Shanbai Village became the center of attention.

n

n“Wow, look, someone drove a transporter here!”

n

n“So many transporters! One, two, three…”

n

nThis secondary school in town accepted children from several nearby villages.

n

nAlthough the other villages knew that the Shanbai Village had been developing well in recent years, they were still shocked when they saw a transporter reporting to school.

n

nLittle Fatty and Hei Wa sat in the car and looked at the people outside. They were all staring at their village’s transporters. They were very proud.

n

nXie Chaochao and Xie Zhou sat in a transporter. They looked at the new school and were not happy at all.

n

nXie Chaochao tried to persuade her father along the way. “Daddy, can I not go to school? I really don’t want to go to school. I also don’t want to be separated from Daddy for so long!”

n

nXie Zhou ignored her until the car arrived at the school entrance. “Get out!”

n

nSeeing that there was no hope, Xie Chaochao could only get out of the car obediently. However, she had a depressed look on her face.

n

nShe only smiled when she heard the people around her praising their village and her father.

n

nShe was obviously happy that someone praised her father.

n

nXie Chaochao, Little Fatty, Hei Wa, and the others walked into the school together.

n

nAs the little girl slowly grew up, her looks became even more stunning.

n

nThe senior students in the school were leaning against the railing upstairs, looking down.

n

nThis was especially true for the Shanbai Village. They were too eye-catching.

n

nA boy who was leaning against the railing noticed Xie Chaochao smiling in the crowd and his eyes lit up.

n

nXie Zhou and the other adults settled the children’s matters and left.

n

nThe group of children were taking care of each other, so there was nothing to worry about.

n

nBesides, it was already good enough that the group of little bullies in their village did not provoke others. They did not need to worry about them suffering in school.

n

nAfter all, they had fought off three kidnappers before!

n

nOnce they were in junior high, they had to live in school and could only go back home once a week.

n

nThis was also the main reason Xie Chaochao was unwilling to go to school.

n

nAll these years, Xie Chaochao had never been separated from Xie Zhou before.

n

nThe little girl couldn’t bear to leave her father and grandpa.
