The location happened to be the home of That woman. Reports said that the fire was extremely fierce, resulting in a total of 2 casualties, a man and a woman. The woman was around 40 years old, and the man was a recent graduate from Jiangzhong this year, having just been admitted to university at the age of 18.
After the news was broadcast, the class group exploded with activity, and classmates quickly recognized the 18-year-old boy as Xia Jingshen.
I leaned my head heavily against the back of the chair. In fact, I had anticipated this outcome a few days ago.
I heard that That woman took all of Xia Jingshen's and his father's money, planning to take her young son abroad. Not only did she blacklist Xia Jingshen, but she also stopped paying for his father's hospital expenses. Last night, Xia Jingshen's father was kicked out of the hospital due to long-term unpaid fees and eventually couldn't make it through, and left.
I gently closed my eyes, and tears rolled down my face one by one.
I let out a deep sigh, asked for half a day off from the store manager, and told Mom everything as it was.
Mom, I have finally avenged you, and now you can finally rest.

I applied for a student loan, even though I only worked for a month, my boss still paid me for two months and gave me a big red envelope.
Before leaving, Grandma Li and the store manager had a meal with me.
They kept praising me, just like family members do to their juniors, and kept urging me to call them often. They also said that they would be my family in the future, and asked me not to be afraid, but to keep moving forward forever.
That day, I drank liquor for the first time. The fiery alcohol flowed down my throat to my stomach, and I let out a deep breath. I let go of all past hatred. This is my hometown, the place where I was born and raised. Here, there is not only pain, but also the most sincere warmth.
I will always remember everything that has happened, and then live on well with the love of Mom.
On the day I left home, the store manager and Grandma Li both came to see me off. The store manager handed me a big bag of snacks to eat on the way, and Grandma Li made me a dozen small pancakes. Grandma cried, repeatedly reminding me to take care of myself and to come back when I have time off.
I know, I will definitely come back. Here are my relatives and my forever resting Mom.
The train is very slow, and Mao Buyi's "A Mountain Road" is playing on repeat in my headphones. I look at the mountains and rivers outside the window and think of the appointment I had with Gu Tianqi in Yunnan.
But I still didn't go to disturb him. I know that if I want to meet him again, I have to work harder. After entering university, I participated in various legal public welfare activities day and night. Every holiday, I would go home to see my grandmother and the shopkeeper.
Finally got the recommendation for graduate study before the start of my senior year at China University of Political Science and Law.
After a long absence, I posted on my Moments and caught the attention of some old friends I haven't been in touch with. One of them, Gu Tianqi, left a comment.
"Zhiyao, are you going to Beijing with Gu Tianqi?"
Even though it's been over 3 years since we last contacted each other, my heart still trembles uncontrollably when I hear his name.
Back then, I owed him such a big relationship and said so many stupid things.
I really want to see him, even if it's just one more time.
After graduating from college, I returned to work part-time at the store. This time, I bought a neck massager for my grandmother and some clothes for the store manager. I had the acceptance letter for graduate school sent to the store, just like four years ago. As soon as I received it, I took it to show Mom.
This time I found that Mom's grave was surprisingly clean, someone must have visited Mom. My sixth sense tells me it must be Gu Tianqi, but even so, I still dare not go find him.
Just as I turned around to leave, I heard by my ear:
"Long time no see, my great lawyer."
