Chapter 21

The capital again?!

Qiu Tong frowned, deep in thought.

In the original timeline, the three children were sold to the capital, but it was not specified to whom they were sold to.

Once and again, things were being linked to the capital. Qiu Tong didn’t think it was a coincidence.

When she had first transmigrated over and was in the process of selling her children, could that have been arranged by the same person too?

The more Qiu Tong thought about it, the more likely it was. However, the former Qiu Tong was just a mother of three from slums. How could she know someone from the capital?

Could it be the children’s father?

All sorts of conjectures flashed across her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not remember who the children’s father was.

One mystery after another shrouded her. Qiu Tong walked back with a dark face and heavy footsteps.

She could not just continue to sit and wait for the other party to plot and steal her children!

Qiu Tong slowly narrowed her eyes. The experience of surviving in the post-apocalyptic world had given her a heightened sense of awareness when it came to danger. She could not allow the three children to end up like how they did in the original timeline.

She had to go out and look for opportunities to earn money. With enough money and power, they could stop struggling on the poverty line and be secure enough to face the unknown.

However, it would be too risky for the three children to stay at home alone if Qiu Tong went out to earn money.

After all, someone was hiding in the dark and eyeing the three children like a tiger watching its prey. They were waiting for an opportunity to snatch them away from her.

Qiu Tong’s brows were tightly furrowed. She was very dissatisfied with all these areas of vulnerability.

After careful consideration, Qiu Tong’s eyes lit up.

If it was not safe to leave them at home, she would send them to school. Wasn’t this the best way to settle this once and for all?!

Coincidentally, the three brats had reached the age of schooling.

“Kindergarten?!”

Three different voices raised their voices at the same time. Not only Qiu Xingyuan, but even Qiu Xingqiao and Qiu Xingyu were full of disdain and reluctance.

Qiu Tong beamed as she squatted down to coax them. “The kindergarten is very fun. There are playground slides and delicious food. You’ll get to know a lot of good friends there.”

Qiu Xingyu tilted her head. “I don’t want good friends. I only want Eldest Brother and Second Brother.”

Qiu Tong’s face stiffened for a moment. She persuaded gently, “Both your brothers will be going too.”

Qiu Xingqiao quickly said, “I’m not going!”

Who would want to play with a bunch of weak snotty brats who would fall from just a light push?

Qiu Xingyuan just put on a very cold expression. His objection was very obvious.

Qiu Tong was not put off. She continued to encourage them. “Mommy will reward those who are willing to go to kindergarten with a kiss!”

Qiu Xingyu’s eyes lit up. Her mother had never kissed her before.

Qiu Xingyu ignored her brothers’ cold gazes and immediately switched sides. “Mommy, I will go to kindergarten!”

Qiu Tong pouted her lips and rewarded Qiu Xingyu with a big kiss.

Since Little Yu was going to kindergarten, Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao would naturally feel uncomfortable at the thought of letting her go alone. They would definitely agree to go together.

Qiu Tong looked at Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao with a smile. The two brats instantly put on their guard. “What are you doing?”

She dragged the boys into her arms. Lowering her head, she kissed them both with two loud smacking sounds.

“Wah—”

Qiu Xingqiao was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately jumped up and wiped his face with all his might. “That’s disgusting!”

Qiu Xingyuan’s small face was stiff, his eyes displaying a similar look of disdain.

Qiu Tong threw back her head and laughed. The matter of the three Qiu family brats going to school was settled.

The next day, Qiu Tong brought the three children to a nearby kindergarten to report. After paying, they came out and saw a fat figure charging towards Qiu Xingyu and the other two like a cannonball.

Fortunately, Qiu Xingyuan was quick to react and pushed Little Yu away to prevent her from being bumped.

Instead of being sorry, that little fatty arrogantly pointed at Qiu Xingyuan and the other two, his eyes filled with provocation.

“You three bastards are not allowed to attend school here!”

“Get out!”

The shrill voice was filled with malice, causing Qiu Tong to frown.
