Song Yan carried a hen home.

With Aunt Guan present, she naturally praised Song Yan again. She wasn't just saying nice things; she meant it sincerely.

Aunt Guan heard from Tang Baojuan that Song Yan had bought pig's trotters!

These are all great for promoting lactation. They're hard to find even if you have the money. Besides, it's so kind of a daughter to be so willing to spend money on her mother; that's so filial!

Aunt Guan immediately helped kill the chicken and pluck its feathers...

When Wei Aiguo and Song Jun returned, the meal was already prepared at home.

Song Jun had been coming to his second uncle's house for meals quite often, so he simply brought his own rations.

Now that everyone's back, let's sit down and eat!

Wei Aiguo sat down next to Song Yan, and his previously cheerful smile suddenly froze. It was a fleeting change. Afterwards, he happily ate with everyone.

After dinner, Song Yan thought Wei Aiguo would accompany her back to rest. However, Wei Aiguo said that after taking her back, he would go out for a walk.

Song Jun was taken aback; it wasn't supposed to be like that. His brother-in-law was going out again, and he didn't feel comfortable letting him go alone. That afternoon, Song Jun skipped work and accompanied Wei Aiguo out.

Song Yan went to the library after his lunch break.

Today is my third aunt's shift.

When Song Yan arrived, he saw her reading a book, sitting upright and slowly turning the pages.

Song Yan sat down opposite her, casting a shadow on her book. Only then did she look up. She hadn't expected Song Yan to arrive, and she smiled, stood up, and waved to him.

The library was so quiet; apart from the sound of turning pages, there was almost no other noise.

Auntie put the book back where it belonged, then led Song Yan out of the library. She casually placed two small cushions on the steps in front of the library, sat down, and gestured for Song Yan to sit down as well.

My third aunt gives off an elegant and intellectual vibe, but who would have thought that she would sit so casually on the steps amidst all the people coming and going, making her seem so carefree and easygoing.

My second aunt said that her father-in-law wanted to raise his daughter to be a well-educated and cultured woman, but who would have thought that his sister-in-law, Miao Shuang, would be such a fiery and impulsive person.

In those years, some people wanted to cause trouble for Grandpa Miao, but because so many Miao martyrs had shed their blood, they couldn't touch him at all. Some people just whispered among themselves.

As the eldest sister, she has to fight back against those who slander their father and protect her younger brother. How can Miao Shuang possibly remain gentle and refined? It's a miracle she doesn't resort to violence.

My third aunt's love of reading suited Grandpa Miao's temperament perfectly.

Grandpa Miao would start teaching his third aunt whenever he had free time. His third aunt was more like Grandpa Miao's daughter. Even Miao Shuang herself said so.

Song Yan first called out, "Third Aunt!"

“Let’s sit down and talk,” Auntie said.

Song Yan sat down as instructed.

Third Aunt looked at Song Yan and said, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I may not be able to help much, but I will definitely do my best."

Song Yan didn't understand. What was this all about? "Third Aunt, why do you say that? Life is getting better and better these days, there's nothing difficult about it!"

Third Aunt didn't want to beat around the bush. "Where did the money for my and your Second Aunt's surgeries come from?"

"I asked someone to help me get it," Song Yan thought to himself. "I asked people in the black market for help, so that's still helping, right?"

"Then why don't you dare bring it up in front of Wei Aiguo? Don't bring up the reasons you gave before."

I haven't seen your man even once in all these days, and I haven't seen him sad at all. As for things related to your leg injury, you can't even mention them to anyone?

Don't try to argue with me. Why don't I just ask you that next time we meet and see what happens?

People who are too smart are hard to deal with. Song Yan scratched his head in frustration. "I just don't want him to know, you're overthinking it."

"The money was stolen from the Wei family? That can't be right, how could they have so much money?" Even Auntie herself denied this guess.

"How could that be? Stop speculating, nothing's wrong," Song Yan said.

"You didn't steal and sell anything from the Wei family, did you?" Auntie San couldn't imagine where that money came from!

"Third Aunt! What are you thinking? What could be so valuable? Besides, do you think I can carry such valuable things with me all the time?" Song Yan not only scratched his head, but also wanted to pull out his hair.

"Xiaoyan, tell me the truth, do you really need to pay back such a large sum of money?" Auntie asked nervously.

"That's not true." Song Yan didn't know how to explain. Should he say he earned it on the black market?

"Who helped with this money? Who would give such a large sum of money for no reason?" Auntie San had benefited from it herself, and she couldn't just ignore it if she sensed something was amiss.

There are plenty of kind-hearted people in this world, people who are willing to help!

"You don't want your husband to know, is it because he knows the person who helped you? And it's a man, right?" Auntie's face darkened further. "What price did you pay to get this person to give you so much money? Someone who can give you so much money can't be an ordinary person..." Auntie didn't dare to think any further.

"You always submit articles to the newspaper, and are they all short stories? Your imagination is so vivid!" Song Yan also became serious. If her aunt continued to let her thoughts wander like this, it would be terrible; she would probably vomit herself to death!

"I...I..." Auntie choked up.

Song Yan: "I think you can see that Wei Aiguo treats me very well. How could I be so unfaithful to my husband?"

My aunt's eyes were already brimming with tears.

Song Yan: "Third Aunt, we haven't spent much time together. You don't know what kind of abilities I have."

Last year, I took care of Aiguo for less than two months. I can say that I used my medical skills to make Deputy Commander Wang, Division Commander Qiu, and Chief of Staff Xu extremely grateful to me.
