“Song Weidong is good at faking his persona. It’s impossible that he would argue with the doctor for no reason in the hospital and then beat him up.” Lu Zhixia poured herself some more water. “Also, after I woke up, he hurriedly went through the discharge procedures. Later, I couldn’t see those procedures. When I asked him, he just said he didn’t know where he put them. Now that I think about it, everything seems strange.”

Su Lan held her hand. "I'm worried about you going to an unfamiliar place by yourself. How about I go with you? We can look after each other when we go to find someone."

Lu Zhixia didn't expect Su Lan to make such a decision. Her daughter was injured and needed someone to take care of her.

She appreciated his willingness to give up caring for her daughter and travel far away for her.

"Don't worry about me, Captain Gu said he'll send it over."

"He said he'd take you? Does that mean he's not working anymore?"

"He said he injured his arm and could take a long vacation, so he could come with me."

"I'll be relieved if he can go with us."

"Sister Lan, I talked to my brother-in-law yesterday about having Grandpa Bai check Yuanyuan's eyes. If acupuncture works, would you be willing to try it?"

“We have to try. You know your brother-in-law and I don’t earn much. If we go to a big city for treatment, the cost will be a huge burden.” Su Lan sighed heavily, thinking of her daughter. “The child is still so young. We can’t give up even the slightest hope, as long as we have the means.”

Lu Zhixia patted her shoulder casually, "Everything will be alright!"

Su Lan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. "You're right, everything will be alright, so you will definitely find your child!"

Lu Zhixia smiled frankly, "That's right! We're in the same boat. As long as we get over this hurdle, things will go smoothly from here on out!"

Su Lan put the packed lunchbox into the bag.

“I’ll deliver meals to them at the hospital. I’ll do it for two more days and then I won’t have to anymore.”

Lu Zhixia stood up. "I'll go back to my room to change my clothes, then go out for a walk and see if I can find a suitable house."

Su Lan waved her hand, "Then you go ahead and get busy! I'll clean up the dishes."

Lu Zhixia went back inside to change her clothes and then combed her hair neatly.

Today's goal is to go out and look at houses. I remembered that Gu Lingxiao said the houses on Huainan Road were nice.

I've decided to go there first and see if I can find someone suitable.

Hearing the sound of a door being locked next door, I knew that Sister Su Lan had gone out to deliver food to the hospital.

Then, she put the money from selling the house yesterday into her bag and took it with her, planning to find another bank to deposit it.

After locking the door, I noticed a few more people in the hallway, but I ignored them and walked straight ahead.

They watched as Lu Zhixia went downstairs.

Immediately, some women started gossiping, "Divorced women are still popular, I really don't understand why."

"Look at yourself! We're just destined to be poor!"

"That woman is no longer proper after getting divorced, that's what my husband says."

"Your family member said this to you? When did they say it?"

"Of course, it was said during that time."

Several women burst into laughter; they all understood the meaning behind those words.

——

Lu Zhixia quickly rode her bicycle to Huainan Road, and indeed, this place looked better than the surrounding environment of the tenement building.

The houses all looked quite new, and the streets were especially clean.

It's obvious that someone cleans every day, and there's also the surrounding environment.

There are elementary, middle, and high schools all around here; I saw them all as I cycled along the way.

There are two hospitals nearby, and they look quite well-built.

Gu Lingxiao didn't mention the location of the house he bought, so it can't be used as a reference.

Now I can only ride my bicycle around. The weather isn't very hot today, and it's even a bit cool while riding.

She walked around to the side of the hospital and saw a sign for sale outside a house's wall.

The most important thing I looked at was the house layout. There were side rooms built on both sides of the main entrance, and the living quarters were inside.

This apartment layout perfectly matches her vision.

She immediately stopped her bicycle and pushed it towards the passageway.

Before we even arrived at the destination, we could hear voices coming from inside.

"Your house is nice, but it's a bit run-down, so the price you mentioned won't work," the woman's voice came through.

After hearing no further sounds, she went to the doorway.

I saw several people standing in the courtyard, including a young girl who looked quite young, dressed in black and wearing mourning clothes, standing there expressionless.

"And then there's your house, someone just passed away," the woman started rambling again, "so a price reduction is reasonable in my opinion."

"I'm not selling this house," Guan Xiaoya said, looking up. "This is my home, I don't want to sell it."

Zeng Qin became anxious. If the house wasn't sold, she wouldn't get any benefit, so she started shouting.

"Xiaoya, what are you saying? If you don't sell the house, how will you and Mingming live in the future?"

"Auntie, this is my home, I don't want to sell it." Guan Xiaoya repeated herself, she didn't understand the adult world.

She simply knew that this was her home and shouldn't be pointed at or desecrated by others!

The woman also got angry after hearing this, and pointed at them, saying...

"The price I offered is already very fair. If I don't sell it, no one else will come to buy it." After saying that, she turned and left, determined to drive the young girl down the price.

Seeing her niece about to escape, Zeng Qin slapped her across the face, and still not satisfied, loudly questioned her.

Why can't you listen to me, child?
