Waking up, Song Jinxiu found her...
Song Jinxiu shuddered. Could it be that he was really talking about her?
The two aunts soon started telling her other gossip, and Song Jinxiu listened with great interest. Other people's lives were so colorful!
Liu Ankang came over for lunch at noon and found that Song Jinxiu was indeed much more energetic.
After lunch, the two went back to their own home. On the way, Song Jinxiu told Liu Ankang the gossip about Ma Dazui in an immersive way, omitting everyone's details.
Children shouldn't listen to anything too violent. Just get the general idea.
"Tell me, is it possible that I ate the melon and ended up eating myself?" Song Jinxiu told him what happened that day. "Do you think I should go over and take a look?"
"Whether it's you or not, what happens next has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to go and see." Liu Ankang said.
Song Jinxiu thought of that happy little woman, oh!
"Even if you want to go, you have to go when I'm at home," said Liu Ankang.
"I understand, little housekeeper. I haven't decided whether to go or not. I want to go, but I feel it's unnecessary. If I don't go, I seem to be always thinking about it." Song Jinxiu said.
"Oh!" Song Jinxiu exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Liu Ankang asked.
"They left in a hurry this morning and didn't even take any vegetables or fruits with them," said Song Jinxiu.
"It's okay. It won't go bad if you keep it for a day or two. Go back and take a nap. When you wake up, I'll take you to deliver it to them." Liu Ankang said.
"Okay!" The two of them went home while chatting.
In the afternoon, just when the two were about to leave, Zhao Tingting and her friend came over by themselves.
"Why are there only two of you? Where is Jiaojiao?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"She's still lying in my house!" Zhao Tingting said. Shangguan Jiao was so scared today that she hid in Zhao Tingting's in-laws' house, for fear of being discovered by Aunt Pei.
"Are you okay?" Song Jinxiu asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I just feel like I smell a little bit of alcohol, so I came to my house to get rid of the smell. I'll get some milk flavor!" Zhao Tingting laughed!
"We're leaving. We'll come visit you again in a few days." The two people waved goodbye as they rode in a rickshaw and took away two baskets of vegetables and fruits.
The next day, Song Jinxiu went to work in high spirits again.
Liu Ankang also returned to school to continue his studies. The final exams were in two weeks, so he was making a final sprint.
Although, it seemed like he had nothing to sprint for.
The last time he went to that clinic, the old doctor allowed him to stand next to him and observe.
Occasionally, she would explain to him the usage of the prescription, and now he would go to the clinic whenever he had free time.
When getting off work today, Song Jinxiu noticed that there were obviously more pedestrians on the road, and they all seemed to be heading towards the end of the street.
Song Jinxiu suppressed her eager heart and rode her bike directly to Aunt Cuihua's house.
"Aunt, what's going on? Why are there so many people?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"It's the stingy guy on the corner who called the police today and said his mother was missing and that a lot of money in the house was lost," said Aunt Zhou.
"No way, they are willing to leave a person of unknown origin at home alone?" Song Jinxiu asked doubtfully.
"How could that be? His wife was watching over her at home. But when he came back, he found his wife lying on the table, the house had been ransacked, and his mother was missing," Aunt Zhou explained.
"Isn't this a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken? I really don't know what charm that old lady has that made Lao Kou bring her home." Song Jinxiu sighed.
"The couple had several fights at home today. I heard that all the stingy husband's private money was stolen. The stingy wife was not happy that he hid the private money behind her back.
Good guy, he scratched Lao Kou's face in front of the police. Lao Kou was not a good person either, saying that she couldn't even take care of an old lady at home.
Not only did they lose two days' worth of food, but they also lost so much money." Aunt Zhou continued.
"So, it's not that easy to get something for nothing. No one is stupid."
"What are you doing?" Aunt Cuihua asked in confusion when she saw Song Jinxiu suddenly squatting down and picking vegetables!
"Let me show Aunt Zhou that it's actually quite easy to take advantage of others. Hahaha!" Song Jinxiu said.
Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes at her.
"Tsk tsk tsk, even when a beauty rolls her eyes, it's a beautiful eye roll." Song Jinxiu said.
"Stop talking nonsense. Would you like to have dinner here tonight?" asked Aunt Cuihua.
"No, I'm going back to cook." After saying that, Song Jinxiu rode her bike and prepared to leave.
She came here just to get first-hand information, because she is so lacking in spiritual food right now.
The work is not over yet. I have to visit my aunt's house more frequently in the next two days.
Sure enough, the police came back two days later. This time, they asked detailed questions: What were the characteristics of the elderly woman? Why did they bring her home? Was she really my biological mother?
Finally, under the pressure of the police, Lao Kou revealed his purpose.
It turned out that he saw a gold ingot accidentally exposed in the old man's arms, and he originally wanted to trick it away. However, although the old man had mental problems, he insisted that the gold ingot was for his son.
He had no choice but to pretend to be her son, thinking that he would serve her well for two days, and then use the excuse of helping her take a bath to trick her into giving him the gold ingots.
Then he quickly asked the police if they had caught him.
The police said, "No, it's from a nearby city. Too many people in town have reported missing mothers to the police. I think it's another new scam. Just wait for news at home!"
The old man immediately collapsed. That was their life savings! The couple hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"My dear girl, my dear girl riding a bicycle." One day, Song Jinxiu heard someone calling on her way home from get off work.
Song Jinxiu wasn't sure if he was calling her, and she didn't want to look back, so she ignored him.
The next day, Song Jinxiu saw a woman waving at her from afar. She was a little confused because she didn't know her.
"My dear, my dear!" As she got closer, Song Jinxiu found that the other party was indeed talking to her!
"Auntie, did you recognize the wrong person?" Song Jinxiu stopped and asked.
"I'm not mistaken. I took Xiu for a walk yesterday and she said it was you. Thank you, my dear daughter. I am Xiu's mother-in-law. She had a stomachache a few days ago. Thank you for helping her get home." The lady in front said excitedly.
"Oh! It's okay, it's okay. It's just a small favor! No need to thank me!" Song Jinxiu remembered.
"These are vegetables grown by our family. They are not valuable, so don't despise them! I know it is inconvenient for you city people to eat vegetables, so I save them for you." The old lady hung the basket in her hand on the front of Song Jinxiu's car.
"No, no, Auntie, just take it back and eat it yourself. We grow some vegetables ourselves, so it's quite convenient." Song Jinxiu quickly pushed it back.
"How much can we grow in such a small yard? We grow a lot in our village. Eat it, and then go to Auntie's house for more. Xiu is home alone, and I have to go back. Come to my house to play with Xiu when you have time!" Auntie put down the basket and walked home.
Song Jinxiu had no choice but to take the basket back home!
