After finishing the discussion, Yun Shaofan and the others returned to their rooms. Jiang Yuan had not interrupted her until she had seen them off. Only after she had sat down did she talk to her privately, "Huaying, Lin Shan and I don't have much money, only a thousand or two thousand yuan combined. It's not easy to invest such a small amount."
"There's nothing wrong with investing. When the time comes, just divide the shares according to the total proportion."
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and grinned, "You're truly amazing. I used to feel there was a gap between you and me, but this trip to Jinling Haicheng finally allowed me to see that the gap between us is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth."
"I received the best education since I was young. My grandfather was a learned man, and my mother was also well-read. They carefully nurtured and taught me from a very young age, leaving me many books. I am a little better than my peers, and they have made a great contribution."
"You are not just a little bit outstanding, you are much more outstanding. Basically, there is no one of your peers who is better than you." Jiang Yuan praised her with a smile.
Yun Huaying smiled lightly, no longer being modest. She accepted the compliment and continued, "The pharmaceutical factory won't be able to reopen for another six months. By then, no matter how much money you have, invest it in the pharmaceutical factory, and I promise you won't lose anything. When I get to Kyoto, I'll have other plans for building factories and opening stores. If you're willing, I promise to treat you to a feast."
"Hehe, of course we are willing. Lin Shan and I are not good at these things. We have already decided to follow you for the rest of our lives."
Jiang Yuan was telling the truth. She knew nothing about business and probably wouldn't go down this path in the future, but she planned to follow in her footsteps.
"Well, let's take it step by step." Yun Huaying had already made a plan.
The two talked for a while, then read for two hours very self-disciplinedly, and went to bed on time at 9:30.
The next morning, the group went to Li's house for breakfast. They had agreed last night that the elders of the Li family would cook wonton noodles for them, and then they would go out for a walk after having breakfast at home.
Before leaving, Yun Huaying took out her camera, found a younger neighbor, and asked him to help take a reunion photo.
After taking photos at home, everyone went out for a trip. The Li Xiaozong brothers acted as travel guides, and Yun Huaying was responsible for taking photos throughout the trip. A large group of people happily went out for a trip.
That day they visited all the tourist attractions in Haicheng. Yun Huaying used up all the film she had with her. Later, she went to buy a few more rolls. For the next two or three days, she called her cousins and Jiang Yuan to go out and play every day, and visited all the streets and alleys in Haicheng.
The four elders did not follow. Yun Shaofan and his wife stayed at home with the elders, while Meng Fan and Xiao Xiangyi and his wife went out to do some business.
Xiao Xiangyi and the others came to the Xiao family's old house today. She wanted to ask about her sister.
She had asked Xu Yanzhe before, and the municipal party committee had found out that her half-sister had indeed stabbed her in the back and occupied her house afterwards. However, her sister no longer lived there, and the house had been taken over by the state and was occupied by other unrelated people. Her sister and brother-in-law had also disappeared long ago.
She came here specially today to ask the neighbors to see if she could get any clues from them.
But as soon as she got off the bus, she saw a familiar figure, "Brother Fan, look."
Meng Fan looked in the direction of her finger and frowned: "It's that man."
This man was Xiao Xiangyi's brother-in-law. He didn't even want to mention the man's name, but he would recognize him even if he turned into ashes.
"Let's go and catch up and see." Xiao Xiangyi immediately pulled people to chase after him.
The man in front was walking with his body hunched over. At first he didn't know someone was following him, but when he crossed the street in front, he glanced back and saw two tightly wrapped people who seemed to be following him. He immediately became alert and deliberately wandered around the nearby alleys. He quickly got rid of them with the help of his familiar environment.
"Lost him."
Xiao Xiangyi felt a little sorry. He looked at the nearby house numbers and frowned, "Why did they end up living here?"
"I don't think he lives here, but he found out we were following him, so he deliberately took us on a detour and then got rid of us." Meng Fan thought more deeply than she did.
"Brother Fan, what should we do next?"
"Let's stick to the original plan and go to your house to find someone to ask about her." Meng Fan said as he pulled her away.
Xiao Xiangyi was also familiar with this area, and the two of them took a shortcut back to her mother's home. The house her father left her was a self-built house with three floors and more than ten rooms. She stood outside and took a look. She saw that all the people living here were strangers. The house was dilapidated, and even the gate was mottled and tilted. She didn't want to go in for a moment.
"Xiangyi, do you want to go in and ask someone?" Meng Fan asked for her opinion.
"I'll go ask my neighbor, Grandma Ruan."
Xiao Xiangyi didn't push the door open, but turned around and knocked on the door next door.
Just as the couple entered the Ruan family's house, the man they had been following came back from another road. The two sides just missed each other, and they missed a great opportunity to catch him.
Xiao Xiangyi and the others sat at Ruan's house for nearly half an hour and found out a lot of things, but they didn't go back home to check.
They walked around outside for a while before returning to Li's house. They bought some vegetables on the way. As soon as they arrived home, Yun Shaofan asked, "Did you ask anything?"
"There were a lot of random people living in the house. They all moved in after we went to the farm. She only occupied the house for three months before it was nationalized."
"The couple had lived in their home for over a year, and her shameless mother had also moved in. The people who moved in later learned about their shameless activities, jointly reported them for their behavior, and kicked them out."
"About six months later, her mother, now quite old, was still having an affair with a man. She was caught red-handed by the man's first wife and his children. The couple was later executed."
"She was also chased and beaten. The two black-hearted people had nowhere to stay. No one knew where they went after that. No one had seen them in the past six or seven years."
After Xiao Xiangyi finished speaking, Meng Fan continued, "We went there today and saw that man. He should still live nearby. He was very alert. We followed him for a distance but lost him."
"Do you want to report to the police?" Li Shutong asked them.
"There's no point in reporting him to the police. He wasn't the one who falsely accused and stabbed him in the back. Even if they caught him, he'd just blame everything on that devil. At most, he'd get a few words of admonition."
In Xiao Xiangyi's heart, her half-sister is a devil, a born bad devil. There is no family affection between them anymore, only hatred remains.
