"Yes, I heard that he found a job that could earn three to five hundred yuan a month, and then he left with the company. I haven't seen him since then."
"This..." The old couple looked at each other.
How could they not believe in a job that could earn so much money in a month?
"You guys go back and wait. Maybe he feels ashamed that he didn't bring his wife home and got divorced, so he didn't call you. When he becomes famous, maybe he will contact you."
Although I was disappointed that I couldn't find out about my son's whereabouts, I had nothing to say.
The couple could only return home disappointed.
At Ye Xiaotong's parents' side, Lin Yuyao insisted that she had never seen her and didn't know where she was. They also had no evidence to prove that Lin Yuyao was lying.
Fang Qing told them everything, but they didn't know where Fang Qing was and had no one to ask.
After staying at home for more than ten days, as the Chinese New Year was approaching, Lin Yuyao had to leave.
That day, Ye Lian and Lin Dawei filled their trunk with things and reluctantly saw them off to the car.
"Yuyao, Xiaofu, please drive slower. Safety is the most important thing."
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, we will take it slowly."
"Alright, Dad and Mom won't keep you here anymore. You've been married for two years, you should have gone home to celebrate the New Year, go ahead."
After repeated instructions, they watched their daughter and son-in-law leave.
It won’t take more than three days to drive from here to their house, maybe two days at most.
There is no fatigue driving when two people take turns driving, and they can drive faster if they want.
The next night they happened to pass by a city. Fu Huaiyi thought for a moment and said, "Let's not rush home. Let's find a hotel here and stay until daybreak before continuing on our journey."
Lin Yuyao asked: "How long will it take to get there?"
Fu Huaiyi estimated and said, "It will probably take another three or four hours to drive back and have lunch tomorrow. We can go back now, but it will be 11 or 12 o'clock at night when we get home, and we might even wake up the whole family. The old man doesn't sleep well, so we won't bother."
"Okay, let's stay in a hotel for one night and go back tomorrow when we're refreshed."
After settling down in the hotel, Fu Huaiyi called home and told them that he would be home at noon the next day and that he could cook for two more people.
The old man on the other end said a few words to him, leaving him the job of washing the dishes, then hung up the phone with a curse and a smile.
The whole family was very happy to hear that they were going back.
"Ayi didn't come home last year, and he spent the New Year at his eldest brother's house the year before last. So he hasn't been home for the New Year for two years."
The old man said calmly, "He is busy with work, and his work is his priority. It doesn't matter whether he celebrates the New Year or not."
"Dad, it doesn't matter to us, but you are getting one less year after another."
The old man's face darkened, "What are you talking about? Are you cursing me?"
Fu Xingye: “…”
Luo Feng said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Dad is in good health and will live a long life."
"Yes, yes, Dad, I said something wrong, don't be angry."
"Hmph." It would be strange if he wasn't angry. If he really couldn't live for a few more years, it would be because they were pissed to death.
Lin Yuyao hung up the phone call back home and then called Chen Bingzhi.
I haven't called home for two days. If something happens at the company, they won't be able to find anyone and will be worried.
So before the official New Year holiday, Lin Yuyao kept the frequency of one phone call a day, unless she was in a hurry.
Soon, the other party answered the call using a mobile phone.
Chen Bingzhi speaks very loudly. There is no other way. All mobile phone users speak like this. No matter whether the other party can hear him or not, he is used to speaking loudly.
"It's almost the New Year, and there's nothing to do at work, so we just go there every day to kill time. But there's something interesting, do you want to hear about it?"
"What's fun?"
"Before, Fang Qing spread rumors that you couldn't have children, and when you went back to your hometown for the New Year, you also said that you went to other places to get drugs to have children. Do you remember this?"
"I remember, what's wrong?"
"It's now rumored that Fang Qing herself is infertile, and then they spread the rumor that you are infertile. She was infertile because of the abortion she had before. I wonder if you have heard about it?"
She actually guessed it.
"Tsk tsk, what do you call this? This is called retribution. Hehe, there's a rumor out there that she had an induced abortion when her baby was already five months old because the child wasn't Lu Jiangting's, but Yang Guangzong's."
"Ah? You believe it?"
"Believe it, why not? If you calculate the time, the child might have been conceived during the Chinese New Year. Fang Qing was in her hometown during the Chinese New Year last year. I heard that it is very likely that Fang Qing and Yang Guangzong got together when she was in her hometown."
Lin Yuyao's mouth twitched.
I thought these old ladies who spread gossip were really good. How did this spread?
She felt that it couldn't be Yang Guangzong's. She had just returned from her hometown and had asked about it. Yang Guangzong had only contacted her two days before Fang Qing decided to go back. This man was not an animal, so how could he go to bed with someone after knowing him for just two days?
Besides, Yang Guangzong was determined to go to Nancheng to find Xiaotong at that time, and he probably looked down on Fang Qing.
"Who told you that?"
"I heard from the aunties downstairs that it's so lively every day." He chuckled and said, "Lu Jiangting is not working now, he is on vacation at home, his family is in chaos all day long, it's very lively."
Lin Yuyao had never realized that Chen Bingzhi was so gossipy before. From what he said, it was as if he was lying in front of the window of Lu Jiangting's house all day long to listen.
But he didn't go climbing. It was the neighbors around Lu Jiangting's house who hid in front of the windows all day and listened.
The old house that was about to be demolished had poor sound insulation, and the houses were only separated by narrow alleys, so they were very close to each other.
If you listen to gossip, you can hear a lot.
But Lin Yuyao was a little curious, "Are these gossips spreading in your community?"
"Uh... no, I moved."
"Ah? You moved in and became neighbors with Lu Jiangting?"
"No, I moved in to be your neighbor. Sister Zhou helped me find a house. It's right next to theirs, diagonally across from yours."
"That's a two-bedroom, one-living-room house."
"Yes, I felt that the one-bedroom apartment was too small, so I changed to a bigger one. We were neighbors before, and we could go to get off work together."
As she was speaking, Lin Yuyao heard a familiar voice.
"Chen Bingzhi, bring me the hair dryer."
"Hey, I'll come."
Lin Yuyao was startled, "Why did I hear Sister Song's voice?"
"Yes, you heard it right." Chen Bingzhi said calmly, "Her house has no water supply, so she is using my house to take a shower."
Lin Yuyao: “…” Am I a fool? Can I borrow your house to take a shower so late?
Can't she go to Xiaotong's house to take a shower?
"I won't say any more. I'm hanging up now."
Without waiting for Lin Yuyao to say anything, Chen Bingzhi hung up the phone.
Lin Yuyao put down the phone and looked at Fu Huaiyi who was sitting on the sofa opposite and reading a book. "It seems that Chen Bingzhi and Sister Song are living together."
