A month later, the sentences for Zhong Liqi and that group of traffickers were announced.

This year, it happened during the crackdown. All traffickers were sentenced to death.

Zhong Liqi was sentenced to twenty years.

This lifetime, it would be in prison.

Because of the incident where Tangtang was abandoned, Yuan Chun and Wang Ziteng canceled their opportunity to attend a teacher exchange conference in Hai City. The couple also moved to the compound and lived there for two years.

Three years later, the couple was recognized for their outstanding teaching and were rated as two of the top ten outstanding elementary school teachers in Beijing by the Education Bureau. They also got another chance to attend a teacher exchange conference in Hai City.

After returning from Hai City, both were promoted to teaching directors.

By the time they retired, Wang Ziteng was already the principal of the best first experimental primary school in Beijing, and Yuan Chun was the vice principal of the same school. They also became the most outstanding and famous elite teachers in the education world of China.

Years later, near a trash bin in Zheng City, a white-haired old grandmother struggled as she searched for mineral water bottles and hard cardboard in the trash bin... Suddenly, on the screen by the street, a reporter was interviewing the most outstanding pair of professors in the education field.

The old grandmother heard familiar names, raised her head, looked at the screen, her face full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"You old hag, hurry up and search. If you don’t find one hundred yuan today, don’t even think about going home."

At this time, an old man threw a bag full of watermelon rinds into the trash bin, then slapped the old grandmother, "You old hag, why don’t you just die already, you’re dragging me down... Both came from a teaching background, look at them, then look at you, tsk, a useless old thing, a waste..."

The old man cursed and left.

Tears flowed down the old grandmother’s face, regretting her past choices.

The old grandmother was Zhong Yuanfen.

Back then, when Ma Xiaolan treated Zhong Yuanfen like a pampered lady for over ten years, she hadn’t expected that in her old age, she would live a life she once looked down upon.

She was only sixty, yet her husband’s family had ground her down to look like she was eighty.

She clearly had a monthly pension of five thousand yuan, but her retirement card was snatched by her stepson, so she couldn’t see a penny and could only collect waste to sell for money to support herself.

If she didn’t make money, her stepson and stepdaughter-in-law wouldn’t let her eat.

She regretted it.

Back then, she shouldn’t have been so reckless, ruining a good life, playing a good hand badly, aged now without a good life to live.

Zhong Yuanfen silently shed bitter tears.

Until one day it rained, Zhong Yuanfen was caught in the rain, fell very ill, and then she finally understood, went to the police station to report her stepson for taking her retirement card.

With the police’s help, she got her retirement card back, went to a nursing home by herself, and her life improved a lot.

In this lifetime, Yuan Chun and Wang Ziteng lived to be in their nineties.

Back in System Space, 007 excitedly told her, "Host, Host, there’s a laser gun on sale in the special offer zone, only ten points."

"What else?"

She traveled to small world eras, even if she had a laser gun, she wouldn’t have the chance to use it.

In those eras, even leaving the house required an introduction letter. To use a gun... unless hunting prey, otherwise, it really wasn’t needed.

"Host, it’s useful, since it’s offered by the system, it’s definitely useful." Feeling her thoughts, 007 said.

"Host, there’s also an Instant Teleportation Talisman, Revitalizing Pill. You’ve been using the Revitalizing Pill quickly, so the chance for it to appear in the special offer zone is high."

"There’s actually an Instant Teleportation Talisman, that’s nice." Yuan Chun waved her hand generously and bought the three half-price items.
