Is Chapter 23 a book that absolutely must be read?
After a long pause, Song Yan nodded, "--Okay!"

Bai Siqi was overjoyed, but before her smile could even spread across her face, she heard Song Yan add, "But not now."

Bai Siqi's smile froze on her face.

"--When then?"

“Find an opportunity. Anyway, she won’t leave before the New Year.” Song Yan looked at her. “Also, you should all go find her first. Tang Qiang in the west of the city will definitely be keeping an eye on her recently.”

Tang Qiang was quite well-known; his childhood friend Lu Ming often mentioned him.

This person is quite meticulous and has some tricks up his sleeve when it comes to solving cases.

"Okay, whatever you say." Although Bai Siqi was dissatisfied, she still nodded gently.

"Then I'll head back now; I'm worried about leaving the kids at home."

Upon hearing this, Bai Siqi urged, "Then you should go back quickly."

She didn't want to see those three children at all—they cried too much!

Song Yan left quickly.

Mrs. Bai sighed, "If only you had only given birth to one child back then! You wouldn't have had to get a divorce."

Bringing one at a time is fine.

Bringing three at once—that would be incredibly difficult.

Moreover, other families have their mothers-in-law helping to take care of the children.

But the old woman from the Song family suddenly became paralyzed—not only could I not help her at all, but I also had to take care of her every need.

Bai Siqi pouted, "Isn't it the same whether you have one or three kids? I didn't know taking care of children would be so hard! It's all Song Yan's mother's fault. She managed to paralyze herself by falling down. She was just trying to disgust people. Why didn't she just die from the fall?"

"And Fu Mingxue, it's all that bitch's fault. Otherwise, I could have gotten my acceptance letter today and left tomorrow."

Once she leaves, how can Fu Mingxue possibly chase her all the way to the school that's a million miles away?

"Mom, who else from our area has been admitted to university?"

Bai Siqi was still determined. After all, even if she were to retake the exam, she knew she definitely wouldn't pass.

After pondering for a while, Bai's mother said, "Your cousin, I heard from your uncle last time that she also took the exam, but I don't know if she passed."

Bai Siqi's eyes lit up. "Really? Mom, then you should go and find out tomorrow. If they haven't received the acceptance letter, we'll check ourselves. If they have—we'll figure out another way. Anyway, I'm determined to go to university."

After that bitch Fu Mingxue made such a scene today, what reputation does she have left?
She simply cannot stay here.

Mrs. Bai nodded, "Okay, I'll go and inquire about it tomorrow."

Then she remembered something else.

"Where's your brother? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Bai Siqi didn't care. "He's probably off somewhere again."

Mr. Bai returned home late at night. After get off work, he would go to his coworkers' place for drinks and then gamble a little.

He didn't care about what happened during the day.

He was so drunk that he didn't even wash his feet before lying down.
The next day, after making breakfast, Bai's mother went to call her beloved son.

They called out several times, but there was no response.

When she pushed open the door and went inside, she found the bed empty, indicating that no one had slept there the night before.

Originally, she wasn't particularly flustered.

After all, my son does sometimes not come home.

But she felt inexplicably uneasy.

He rushed to Bai Siqi's room and went straight to push the person who was still asleep.

"—Siqi, Siqi, wake up! Your brother Chunsheng hasn't come back."

Bai Siqi opened her eyes unhappily. "Mom, what are you doing? It's not the first time my brother hasn't come home. Why are you so panicked? Maybe he'll be back by noon."
