Cheng Youfu only came to see his mother after Liu Hua left.

“Even I didn’t expect Liu Hua to do this,” said Aunt Cheng.

Cheng Youfu remained silent.

“You’re not getting any younger, you can find a wife and live a good life!” said Aunt Cheng.

"Mother, are you afraid that I'm still keeping an eye on Jiang Xiaoxiao?"

You've been in Kyoto for so long, and you've seen it for yourself. I've been focused on doing business, so have I offended anyone?

When my three older brothers are looking for wives, you should let them see you, and if you find someone you like, you should ask for their approval.

You brought me all this way without even asking me?

Mother, I brought you out here so you could enjoy a better life.

"Do you see this house? I bought it with my own money!" Xiao Hu said.

"Huh? Didn't you say you rented it?" Aunt Cheng said in surprise.

Youfu: "We can't keep things from the brigade. I'm just afraid that if Erzhuang's mother finds out, she'll think Erzhuang can also buy a house and come after him."

Besides, Erzhuang really doesn't earn as much as I do. So Chang Xiaohu didn't let him get involved in his business.

Whose business is Chang Xiaohu's? Let me tell you, it's my sister's.

Liu Hua is blind; he actually dared to cause trouble at my sister's house.

Mother, if we're talking about distance, can I compare to Erzhuang?

But it's not right for him to have parents like that!

My sister doesn't worry about business matters; Chang Xiaohu manages everything.

Mother, if you keep causing trouble for my sister and the others.

Chang Xiaohu wouldn't use me.

I was also at fault. I thought letting Liu Hua make a scene would let you know I was looking for trouble, but I didn't expect the trouble to reach my second brother's family!

The thought of owning such a large house filled Aunt Cheng with immense pride. "My youngest son, wasn't it a mistake to buy such a big house?" she asked.

“Don’t worry, the situation has changed, everything will be fine,” Xiao Hu said.

Aunt Cheng paced around in the yard, exclaiming, "This house is so nice!"

“Mother! I have something important to tell you!” Youfu said.

"Oh! I understand!"

I've done something that foolish once, and I'll know what I'm talking about.

You are able to earn money today thanks to Song Yan.

"Having known Aunt Wei for so many years, I don't need to curry favor with her, but I certainly won't cause her any more trouble."

Hearing his mother say this, Youfu didn't even have time to reply.

"By the way! When I came here, Erzhuang's mother was extremely envious. She came to our house several times, begging me to come with her, but I didn't agree."

Why don't you talk to Erzhuang about it?

...

Erzhuang and his wife haven't reconciled yet, but he always takes food and supplies from his wife and children, and eats there as well.

Erzhuang felt that his wife would eventually be able to live with him.

But when he heard what Cheng Youfu said, his heart sank.

His wife doesn't even agree to let him into the house, isn't it because she's afraid his mother will make a scene?

How could he not make a scene when his mother came?

Only Erzhuang himself knows what he is feeling.

The person they're talking about is currently on a train bound for Kyoto.

Da Zhuang took the envelope containing Song Yan's design drawings for woven products from the brigade.

This contains Song Yan's home address.

It's no secret that Aunt Wei needs a certificate to leave the brigade.

But how did she know Song Yan's address?

Wang Wenjuan teased Dazhuang's son, and the boy told her everything. Wang Wenjuan specifically mentioned this in a letter to Song Yan.

...

Aunt Wei and Aunt Wei are sisters-in-law, and her arrival might upset Aunt Wei. Aunt Cheng hadn't really thought of this before, but now that she did, she quickly brought it up.

After arriving in Kyoto, Aunt Wei's horizons broadened, and her ideas changed from before.

Besides, her current good life is thanks to her son and daughter-in-law.

Her son will eventually have the surname Shen.

Wei Ping and Wei An rely on their second brother because of his uncle's concern and his elder brother's favor. It has nothing to do with the Wei family.

The Wei family should not try to take advantage of the Shen family.

I'm a soft person, I can't be tough. But I have Di Minxia!

Aunt Wei secretly told Di Minxia about this.

Di Minxia had already heard about Aunt Wei, and if she dared to come, she would make her leave crying.

Song Yan knew nothing about these things.

Song Yan is now hearing Da Jun talking about the Shen family!

Wen Dajun: "Shen Hongxiang's theft of money has been confirmed as a fact."

However, there have been changes in sentencing.

Shen Hongxiang really didn't have much money; she had already spent some of it and couldn't make up the difference. Her second brother paid for it but didn't make up the rest.

The fact that the stolen money has been returned can be considered a mitigating circumstance for sentencing.

Shen Hongxiang's original sentence was more than three years, but it seems likely it will be less than three years now.

Song Yan: Times have really changed! Such a large sentence for just a few dozen yuan!

"Chief of Staff Duan is definitely concerned about this matter, so let's be careful!" Song Yan said.

Wen Dajun smiled and said, "The reason why Wang Guilan has a good relationship with Shen Hongxiang is because both the Wang and Shen families are in Zhejiang Province."

Shen Lao Er works in the Zhejiang Provincial Education System and is in charge of education.

He was investigated three days after he gave Shen Hongxiang the money.

He encountered problems with the procedures for the reconstruction of a school he approved, and the punishment he will receive will be severe.

It's hard to say whether I can keep my job.

The Wang family is definitely involved in this matter! That's all I know!

"It's already quite impressive that you've managed to find out so much!" Song Yan was telling the truth.

"Secretary Fang helped with the matter in Zhejiang Province," Wen Dajun told the truth.

"...Wow! What a big yard!"
