The woman was about to say something else, but the man stopped her, looked around vigilantly, and then pulled the woman into the house.
Song Yun was really curious about what these two were discussing. She looked around carefully to make sure no one was paying attention to them. So she said to Ziyi, "You stay here. I'll go down and check it out."
Ziyi knew that his sister was very skilled in light-weight martial arts, and that he would be a burden if he followed her. "Okay, I'll wait for you here. Be careful."
Song Yun jumped down from the sycamore tree nimbly, her toes tapping on the glass stuck on the courtyard wall, and her body landed on the ground like a butterfly, without making a sound.
She ran quickly to the window of the east wing.
Fortunately, they found the right one, and the man and woman indeed entered the east room.
The window was also half open. She stood by the window, concentrating on listening to the movements inside, and heard the conversation between the man and woman clearly.
"Brother Daniu, what should we do now? It must be Bai Qingxia's relatives who are here. That woman looks a lot like Bai Qingxia, and they must be from the same family."
"Why are you panicking? Isn't your last name Bai too? You're also a relative of Bai Qingxia."
"But I—"
"What's the meaning of "but"? You say you are, so you are. Who dares to say you are not? Who can produce evidence? We don't even know whether Bai Qingxia is dead or alive. This house was entrusted to you by her before. You have the right to claim it, and no one can take it away from you. Don't lose your composure."
"That's what I said, but what if the other party can produce evidence of their relationship with Bai Qingxia? I don't have any evidence, just a few verbal entrustments."
"Are you stupid? What time is it now? Bai Qingxia was demoted and is a capitalist right-winger. Who would dare to get involved with her now? I bet that even if someone could produce evidence, they wouldn't be able to produce it. They probably just came here to investigate. Otherwise, they would have already come to my door. Do you see anyone knocking?"
"Maybe they can't find it, so I cut out the house number."
"I call you stupid, but you still refuse to accept it. There are three other households ahead. What's the point of just robbing ours? You're trying to hide something. Isn't that telling people you have something to hide?"
"Well, what should I do? Should I nail it back now?"
"Forget it, there's no point in nailing it. If I have to nail it, it'll be a nail for the sky. Let's just leave it at that for today."
After a pause, the man continued, "This house is ours, and those things are ours too. No one can take them away. I've met some people recently, and I'll make some arrangements to transfer the house to our names. This will put an end to all future trouble. Even if Bai Qingxia comes back, the house will still be ours."
Song Yun didn't care about his bold words. If a house could be transferred so easily, who would dare to buy real estate? This man was just daydreaming. What she cared about more now was the "those things" he mentioned.
"Those things" should be the things that my mother hid in this house. They were found by this greedy couple and now they want to take them for themselves.
At this time, a woman's voice came from the house, "Why don't we put those things in the old house in the western suburbs? There is a cellar over there. We can hide in the cellar. Even if someone comes to rob the house, at least those things won't be found."
The man rarely refuted the woman, "Okay, let's move the things tonight."
