The person who came over to talk was Jiang family's eldest daughter-in-law, Fei Meiling.
Fei Meiling looked at the three people who were talking to Aunt Yan. Seeing that they were well-dressed and had good temperament, and that they were from cadre families, she smiled.
Aunt Yan smiled and said, "I came to see your Xinyan. I was just telling them that Xinyan doesn't live here."
When she heard they were here to beat Jiang Xinyan, the smile on Fei Meiling's face faded a little, and there was even a hint of vigilance in her eyes. "Do you know Xinyan? Do you have something to do with her?"
Song Ziyi rushed over to say before Qi Qingxia, "We heard that Sister Xinyan returned to the city, so we came to see her."
Fei Meiling saw the three people in front of her were dressed respectably, but they came to visit empty-handed. How could she feel embarrassed? She curled her lips and said, "Jiang Xinyan has severed ties with our Jiang family. You won't be able to find her here if you want to."
Song Ziyi nodded and said, "Okay, then let's look somewhere else." After that, he pulled his parents out of the yard.
Qi Qingxia asked Ziyi, "Why don't you let me speak?"
Ziyi said, "We don't know the specific situation yet, so let's not alert them first. Let's ask Sister Xinyan first." After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Mom, you said you signed a lease with Sister Xinyan. Is the contract still there?"
Qi Qingxia said, "It should still be there. I put the contract in Baihua Lane with the property deeds and land deeds. Your sister said she took it away. Let her look for it when the time comes."
Ziyi asked again, "Does the contract specify the lease term?"
Qi Qingxia thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, I only wrote that it would be rented to Jiang Xinyan at ten yuan a year, and nothing else was written."
Ziyi was relieved, "That's good."
The family of three followed Aunt Yan's directions and quickly found the third large courtyard in Xing'er Hutong. They went in and asked two people, and found the utility room where Jiang Xinyan and her family of three rented.
The utility room is just a bunch of old wooden boards put together. You can see into the house through the gaps when standing outside. If it is windy and rainy, you can't imagine what the situation inside the house will be.
Just as Qi Qingxia was about to knock on the door, it opened by itself. A haggard-looking woman stood at the door holding a basin, as if she was about to pour water. When she saw Qi Qingxia, she was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Teacher Qi?"
Qingxia almost didn't recognize that the woman in front of her was the young and lively Jiang Xinyan from back then.
The house was rented to Jiang Xinyan in 1972, when she was only 20 years old. Now, a decade later, she is only 26 years old, but the woman in front of him looks like she is in her thirties, haggard, with a sallow complexion, thin, and obviously malnourished.
"Xinyan." Qingxia called softly.
Jiang Xinyan's eyes immediately turned red. "Teacher Qi, I thought I would never see you again in this life."
Qi Qingxia sighed, "It's all in the past. I heard that you brought your daughter back to Beijing for medical treatment. How is your daughter? Is she okay?"
Speaking of her daughter, Jiang Xinyan's eyes became even redder. She shook her head and her voice choked up. "Xiaojing got a strange disease. The doctor said she wouldn't live for more than three months. I didn't believe it, so I brought her to Beijing for treatment." When she said this, tears rolled down her face.
