"Hmph, who on earth spread this rumor? This is going to kill me. No wonder they are unwilling to see it, this is instigated by some villain. If you let me know who spread this rumor, I will tear his mouth to pieces."
Zhang Huiqian spoke with a smile.
Sun Lan said, "Xiao Hui, do you know who did it?"
"Ah? How would I know? I mean, we have been away from home for the past twenty years and rarely come back to the village."
"Oh! Forget it, I won't ask you. I'll go back to the village and ask. If I find out who did it, I'll tear his mouth to pieces."
Ye Xiaozhen was also curious. Yes, who said that?
Judging from Zhang Hui's character, she definitely had no contribution in this matter.
But it's been a long time, I'm afraid she has forgotten it.
…
Sun Lan has now found a way to clear herself. Seeing that Ye Xiaozhen doesn't recognize her and likes her, she doesn't want to stay here and continue to make trouble, so as to prevent the conflict from getting deeper and deeper.
She said a few conciliatory words and then said she would go back to the village and discuss everything after her son came back.
After she left, Zhang Hui said to Ye Xiaozhen with a smug look on her face: "Xiaozhen, I did it on purpose. She came to my house to make trouble, and I really had no choice but to tell you where your home is."
"Yeah." Ye Xiaozhen hummed lightly.
Zhang Hui: "Then you will blame me, right?"
Ye Xiaozhen grinned and said, "How could that be? For something like this, it's better to keep it a secret than to hide it for a while. She will come looking for her sooner or later. Just hide away."
"Well, I think that's true. It's a problem that you guys are always avoiding her. This matter needs to be brought out into the open and resolved. Just do it the way you want to, right?"
"Yes, that's the truth." Ye Xiaozhen said calmly.
Seeing that she agreed with what she said, Zhang Hui started to get closer to her.
"Let it go. I don't believe a word she said about going out to work. She abandoned Xiaoli and her siblings and ran away. I know it very well. If things really get serious, I can testify that she will definitely fall for you."
"Well, thank you very much."
"You are too polite. We have watched Lin An and his friends suffer. I am his aunt, so this is what I should do."
Only after seeing Zhang Hui off did Ye Xiaozhen's expression turn cold.
I went back upstairs and called Xie Linan.
He was probably busy, hanging up her phone.
After a while, he called back.
"Xiaozhen, what's the matter? I'm in a meeting."
"It's okay, go to the meeting first, I'll contact you in the evening."
"Nothing urgent?"
"No, you go to work."
"Okay then. I'll go to the meeting. I'm a little busy today, so I might call you back later."
"Well, let's contact each other tonight."
It was not until the evening, after the children had been put to sleep, that Ye Xiaozhen received a call from Xie Linan.
"I've been busy today, and the plan is almost finalized. We'll be able to start construction in a few days. Xiaozhen, I'll be back after the foundation is laid in a few days."
This is their first project in Haicheng, and as the boss, he must be present at such an important groundbreaking ceremony.
"Okay, let's talk about it when you come back."
"No, just tell me if you have something to say. I'm going to go back, but I can give you some advice."
Ye Xiaozhen thought about it, but still didn't tell him, and asked, "How is the decoration of our house?"
"I went to check it out yesterday. The plumbing, electricity, and bricks are all done. Now it's the carpentry stage. Hurry up."
"It will take half a year for it to be habitable after it is installed."
"It's okay. You take the kids to live with my sister first. I'll move in once the decoration is ready."
Ye Xiaozhen said unhappily, "Forget it. If it's really poisonous, it's over. Come on, keep an eye on it, and don't use unsafe paint."
The paint was really messy at this time.
Xie Linan said: "We have agreed to use paint. We will use beeswax and good quality wood."
"Okay, you decide. I'll hang up if nothing else happens."
Xie Linan: "I still think something is wrong. What's going on? Tell me, was it that woman who came here?"
Ye Xiaozhen: “…”
"If you make a sound, that's it. If you tell me, I'll ask someone else. Can I still ask you to understand?"
Of course he has plenty of ways to find out.
Ye Xiaozhen stopped him, "Don't, what others say may not be the truth. I'll tell you something."
"That's right, you say."
"She came here to find it. From what Zhang Hui said, she first found Second Uncle's unit. Second Uncle took over our father's job, so she was able to find it."
"Well, then what? Zhang Hui brings her to Grandpa?"
"Yes, she told Grandpa that the money she took was for travel expenses, and she didn't leave you alone when she left, but went to work in other places to earn money to support you. But she didn't think money was that hard to make, and she didn't make much money in 20 years. Without making money, she felt ashamed to come back to see you, so she never came back."
Xie Linan sneered, "Does she believe it herself?"
"Don't worry about whether she believes it or not. That's exactly what she said."
"Since she said she was too embarrassed to come back because she didn't make any money, then why is she coming back now?"
"She said she wanted to thank you for raising you and your siblings, and she wanted to come back to repay you and take care of you."
"Ha!" Xie Linan sneered, and after a long silence, he said, "I'll be back as soon as possible. Don't bother with her these few days."
"Well, she also said she would wait for you to come back and solve it."
"That's even better."
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Right, she didn't want to look for Lin Li and the others, right?"
"That's not the case. Grandpa said she never raised Lin Li and Lin Qi. She herself also said that raising children is a way to take care of you in your old age. She never raised two little ones. If she doesn't look for them, she will look for you."
"That's good."
The two younger brothers are about to take the college entrance examination. It is a critical moment, so I have to go to them to solve the problem.
There was a chill in Xie Linan's voice. "Take care of her in her old age? Okay. If she comes to you again, tell her to wait. I will definitely take good care of her in her old age."
The next day, Ye Xiaozhen got up early and asked the hired aunt to go upstairs to help the three children get up, wash, eat and then send them to school.
She went downstairs to chat with Grandma Liu.
Yes, today Grandma Liu came with the village car to deliver goods.
Ye Xiaozhen knew her well. Normally, when she came, she would definitely come to bring her news.
Sure enough, when Grandma Liu arrived, she asked, "I heard that Sun Lan has found you guys?"
"Yes, she went to my second uncle's unit and made trouble for them, so my second aunt brought her here."
"Oh!" Grandma Liu sighed and said, "We have tried to keep it a secret, but we didn't expect you to find us so soon."
"You can't hide from it, this matter will be resolved sooner or later, just come if you want."
