"Is that so?" the old lady asked with a puzzled look.

"Of course it is! Old lady, why would I lie to you? To tell you the truth, I don't really like running around, but those people can't sit still at home, so they come to visit me and chat whenever they have something to do."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly explained.

Afterwards, Wang Saozi found an opportunity to tell Ge Xiuxiu and Qin Wan exactly what the old lady had said.

At the end, she thanked them gratefully: "Oh, sister, to be honest, I really want to thank you for coming to chat with me often during this period of time.

Otherwise, I'll definitely get sick.

You may not know that when I was in my hometown, my mother would beat and scold me at every turn. I was young at that time and didn't think it was a big deal.

But now, she no longer beats or scolds me, but every time I see her silent and expressionless face, I feel even more scared.

It's only when you come to my house more often and talk to me that I feel more at ease. If I had to face my mother like that all day long, I'd feel like I'd rather die than live!

From now on, if my mother says something to you, don’t take it to heart and keep coming to my house to chat with me.”

Qin Wan and Ge Xiuxiu both laughed.

Ge Xiuxiu said, "I'll tell you the truth. I also think the old lady is a bit gloomy. You know, I have a rebellious nature. The more your old lady doesn't want me to come, the more I want to go against her."

Mrs. Wang said, "I just like your rebellious nature."

Qin Wan and Ge Xiuxiu didn't take the old lady's complaints to heart at all, and continued to act according to the original plan.

You know, not to mention that Mrs. Wang had no objection to this, even if she expressed her clear opposition, these two people were determined to be thick-skinned and stick to it no matter what.

After all, they knew clearly in their hearts that this war without the smoke of gunpowder was a silent struggle, which required not only enough patience but also rock-hard perseverance to deal with it.

So, day after day, Qin Wan and Ge Xiuxiu would go to Captain Wang's house to "visit" without fail.

On the surface, they seemed to be laughing and chatting happily, but in fact, they had their own thoughts. Their eyes were darting around, not missing any clues. They were secretly observing everything going on around them, trying their best to find the possible key clues.

Through this period of time together, the friendship between Qin Wan and Ge Xiuxiu has become increasingly deep.

The two of them were as close as sisters, often chatting together, telling each other their little secrets hidden deep in their hearts and those unattainable but beautiful dreams.

Whenever one of them encounters setbacks or feels down, the other will always step forward without hesitation to offer the other warm comfort and firm, strong encouragement and support.

At this moment, for Qin Wan, as long as Ge Xiuxiu is by her side, no matter how difficult and dangerous the situation is, she will not feel lonely and helpless at all.

God pays off! After their unremitting search, Qin Wan and Ge Xiuxiu finally succeeded in capturing the flaw revealed by the old lady on a sunny afternoon with a gentle breeze.

It was a sunny day, and the sun shone on the streets, casting a golden glow.

As usual, Qin Wan gently pushed the stroller and slowly walked towards Wang's wife's house. Along the way, the breeze gently ruffled her hair, bringing a touch of coolness and comfort.

When she arrived at the door of Mrs. Wang's house, she saw Mrs. Wang sitting in the yard with needle and thread in her hands, seemingly mending something.

Qin Wan smiled and greeted: "Sister Wang, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Qin, come here and chat for a while. I'm sewing a small piece of clothing for the little one in my belly. Come over and give me some advice." Mrs. Wang greeted warmly.

Qin Wan went down the slope and walked over pushing the stroller.

The two of them soon began to chat enthusiastically, with topics ranging from family matters to interesting things that had happened in the town recently, and they laughed and talked happily.

The baby sitting in the stroller opened his big round eyes and looked at them curiously, babbling from time to time, which made everyone laugh out loud.

Even the old lady was attracted by the scene and came over to play with the child.

After a while, Ge Xiuxiu also came, and the courtyard was filled with laughter and became very lively.

At this moment, a faint cat meow suddenly came into Qin Wan's ears.

"Meow, meow!"

The sound was extremely subtle, as if coming from a distant place, but it was also extremely shrill, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

Qin Wan's heart tightened. She knew her hearing was very sharp and could easily detect such a faint sound. She just didn't know if they heard it.

She subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Wang beside her and the old lady sitting not far away.

Mrs. Wang was still concentrating on the needlework in her hands, with a faint smile on her face, and seemed to be completely unaware of the cat's meow.

However, the old lady sitting on the other side looked completely different.

Although it was only a moment, Qin Wan clearly saw the old lady's face turn pale in an instant, and a hint of anger appeared in her eyes.

However, the old lady quickly regained her composure and continued to listen to their conversation as if nothing had happened.

Qin Wan wondered to herself, could the old lady's hearing be so acute? That meow wasn't a real cat's meow, and the old lady's reaction seemed a bit exaggerated. Could this be a signal for her to contact her accomplices outside?

Thinking of this, Qin Wan pondered in his heart and couldn't help but pay more attention to this matter.

Time passed quietly, and just when everyone was talking, the old lady frowned without any warning, and her originally relaxed face was instantly shrouded in pain.

She covered her stomach tightly with both hands and kept mumbling:

"Oh my god, why is my stomach hurting so badly all of a sudden? It's killing me! You guys keep chatting, I have to find a place to take care of it."

After saying this, the old lady endured the severe pain in her abdomen, stood up from the chair with difficulty, and walked out of the yard in a staggering and hurried manner.
