Chapter 108 Inquiring
With a myriad of thoughts swirling in her mind, An Songyu arrived at the street at the entrance of the village.
She hesitated for a moment, then went to the pharmacy next door instead of going directly into Uncle Liu's shop.
Inside the pharmacy, it was obvious that all the shelves at the back were empty.
As for the cabinets outside, they are no longer placed crammed together.
The woman, who was busy at her computer, looked up when she heard the door open.
Seeing An Songyu was quite a surprise.
She greeted him with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Ayu? What brings you to my shop today?"
An Songyu was a little embarrassed by the laughter, and greeted her with a slightly flushed face: "Sister-in-law Yun!"
"Come, come, sit down first!" Sister Yun quickly came out from behind the counter.
After pulling up a stool for An Songyu to sit on, he smiled and said:
"Your sister-in-law was just joking with you!"
"I know that after you returned to the village, you were either busy or it was inconvenient for you to return because of the demolition issue."
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Yun couldn't help but reveal a hint of disdain:
“In our village, some people are just short-sighted. Once their wallets are bulging, they don’t think about anything else but how to spend their money.”
"It's one thing for him to be brainless, but he also tries to drag others down with him."
"Everyone knows what they're really thinking!"
Hearing her words, An Songyu seemed to vaguely understand who she was referring to.
She also vaguely felt that it didn't entirely refer to the group of people she knew.
After all, even those in the village who received their demolition compensation early on.
In just over a month.
They've practically run the route to and from Hong Kong by heart.
But if we're talking about ulterior motives, An Songyu doesn't think they have many.
As soon as Sister Yun returned to the counter, she saw several motorcycles speeding past on the road.
So she simply pointed it out to An Songyu: "That's not what I was talking about!"
Seeing that An Songyu didn't recognize anyone, Sister Yun asked directly:
"You haven't been back to the village much since you received the compensation money. I guess Uncle Jianguo and the others told you to stay home, right?"
An Songyu nodded.
When her family first received the compensation for the demolition, her uncle and the others did indeed tell them to go back to the village as little as possible.
"They're one of them, mainly involved in gambling." Sister Yun's feelings were complicated and hard to describe.
After all, they're from the same village.
Now look at how these people change drastically as soon as they get the money.
Sister-in-law Yun sometimes feels lost.
An Songyu was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the motorcycles had disappeared.
"No need to look, they must have gone to your area to check on the demolition situation," Sister Yun said without looking up.
She reorganized the bills in her hand.
After confirming that there were no errors in the part that had just been interrupted, he continued:
"When you came back, did you notice that a lot of things were missing from your yard?"
"Even the door panels are gone?"
An Songyu nodded slightly.
She remembers feeling extremely uncomfortable when she saw the situation.
"That's because you didn't go inside the house to take a look."
"If you go and see for yourself, you'll find that those things didn't disappear; they were just moved into your house!"
An Songyu was completely bewildered and couldn't understand what Sister Yun was saying.
"Where do you think those gamblers are?" Sister Yun said with a mocking smirk.
"Right now, aren't your few families the emptier ones in the village?"
"When you left, didn't you take care of everything that could be taken care of and tidied up the house?"
"Although some people in the village say some unpleasant things."
"But everyone's secretly learning it!"
"Later, when those people couldn't find a suitable place to gamble, they set their sights on these empty houses like yours, didn't they?"
"But there's nothing left in your house!"
"The weather is not so cold that people will freeze to death."
"But if you don't have a cushion, it's not so comfortable to just lie on the ground."
"So, those old clothes, old pants, blankets, and the like in your yard."
"And all the doors and things in your house, we used them all!"
An Songyu was taken aback when she heard this, but then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, all of their houses should be able to be demolished today.
Otherwise, they'll just let those people continue gambling in their houses.
Whether it's losing too much money or something bad happening.
It's possible that some unreasonable people in the village might actually blame them as well.
Seeing An Songyu's expression, Sister-in-law Yun added a word of advice:
"There are a fair number of people in the village who know about this."
"That's why the village chief contacted the demolition office."
Otherwise, given that the rest of the villagers will not be able to move out for another ten days or so.
There was no need for the demolition team to enter the village so early.
An Songyu accepted the offer.
After sincerely thanking them, I felt a little embarrassed about my original plan.
After thinking for a moment, she asked directly:
"Sister-in-law Yun, I've come here today because there's something I'd like to ask you!"
Seeing An Songyu's suddenly serious attitude, Sister-in-law Yun also became more serious.
But she still said, "Then...would you wait for me a little while?"
"I was just checking our pharmacy's accounts."
"This should be finished in about ten minutes."
As she spoke, Sister Yun flipped through the receipts in her hand.
An Songyu waved her hand somewhat embarrassedly and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, of course you should go ahead and do your work!"
"Wait for me a moment! By the way, the water is over there, you should know where it is, right?" Sister Yun didn't stand on ceremony, pointed to the location of the mineral water, and immediately got busy.
In less than ten minutes, she had figured out all the receipts.
After tidying up, Sister-in-law Yun simply brought out a stool and sat down solemnly in front of An Songyu:
"Tell me, Ah Yu, what is it that makes you, a college student from the city, need to come all the way to me to ask about it?"
"Don't worry, if there's anything about our village that I don't know, then no one else does."
I understand what Sister Yun meant by those words.
Although An Songyu didn't want to ask about those things, she was secretly grateful.
So when An Songyu spoke again, he was even more sincere:
"Sister-in-law Yun, I heard that one of your aunts married into a coastal city?"
"A seaside city? My aunt from this side of the family?" Sister-in-law Yun was completely confused.
It took me a while to realize what was happening, and I couldn't help but laugh:
"Ah Yu, really... Who told you that?"
"The difference is quite significant!"
An Songyu was slightly stunned, and even a little confused for a moment.
But she clearly remembered.
It is indeed related to their family!
I heard that even their family's pharmacy later opened a branch there!
Amused by An Songyu's reaction, Sister-in-law Yun quickly explained:
"What Ah Yu heard wasn't quite accurate."
"There are indeed women in my family who married into families located by the sea."
"But it's neither my aunt nor a seaside city."
“Your Aunt Wenxiu is your parents’ aunt.”
"As for where she married, it was just a small island by the sea."
"It's more like a small town than a seaside city!"
