The old lady's expression froze, her eyes flickered, and then she said unnaturally, "She went to her grandmother's house." Her eyes rolled and her tone changed, "She's dating someone from her grandmother's and grandfather's side of the family. She's been spending a lot of time with him lately. It looks like they're planning to get married."
Political Commissar Li frowned, not believing what the old lady said. He had met Zhou Yulan before, and she was a well-behaved and sensible child. How could she be talking about marriage just one month after her parents passed away?
Political Commissar Li pretended to think about it, then said, "I remember that Bolan's grandmother's home is in the next village, not far away. Let's go find Bolan now."
The old lady's face changed slightly, and she quickly said, "No, no, Lan must be out with her boyfriend right now. You won't be able to find her even if you go. Now that we're home, just sit here for a while."
Political Commissar Li and Song Yun looked at each other.
Song Yun spoke at the right time, "I think we should just listen to Aunt Zhou. Let's sit here for a while. Maybe Comrade Zhou Yulan will come over on her own soon."
The old lady smiled dryly, didn't respond, and hurriedly called her eldest daughter-in-law to move stools for Song Yun and the others.
Song Yun raised her eyebrows as she looked at the stools that were moved into the yard. This meant that they were not going to be invited into the house to sit down, but were left basking in the sun. It was obvious that there was something or someone in the house that they were not allowed to see.
Song Yun smiled. Even though she was not allowed to go in, she insisted on going in.
Taking the cloth bag of rice from Xu Jinbu, Song Yun smiled and said to the old lady, "This is a little gift we brought from Beijing. I'll put it inside for you."
It just so happened that Zhou's eldest brother and his wife went to the kitchen at the back to boil water for tea. The old lady was the only one in the yard. When she saw Song Yun was about to enter the house, she quickly stood up and said, "No, no, I can take it in myself."
Song Yun avoided her hand and said, "How about this? It's quite heavy. You can take a rest while you take it. I'll bring it in." As she spoke, she didn't stop and walked into the main room in three or two steps.
The old lady was so anxious that she shouted, "Zhou Daniu, come out quickly, hurry up!"
After Song Yun walked into the main hall, she glanced around and immediately locked onto the room on the left side of the main hall. "I'll put it in your room."
The old lady became even more anxious, but she was old after all, and her movements were no match for Song Yun's agility. She couldn't stop him, she couldn't stop him at all.
When Zhou Daniu ran out from behind, Song Yun had already pushed open the door. There was no one in the room, but there were a lot of things piled up there. These things were ordinary household items and looked quite new. There was a wedding character stamped on them, which showed that they were prepared for a wedding.
"Hey, is there a wedding going on in your family?"
The old lady stood behind Song Yun and glared at her with dissatisfaction. When Song Yun nodded, she had to force a smile and said, "This was left in our house by someone else. It's not ours."
Song Yun glanced around the room. Apart from the things with wedding characters on them, there was nothing unusual. This room should not be where Zhou Yulan lived.
Just now she listened carefully and realized that Zhou Yulan was not at home. There were only Old Mrs. Zhou, her eldest son, and his wife in the house. None of the others were at home.
This is so weird.
