Outside the wall was an open space. After Cheng Chun Kui swung out, she took out a small flashlight from her pocket.
This small flashlight is tiny, just a thin little stick.
The small flashlight shone a yellow light in the darkness.
Without a flashlight, the visibility here is so poor that you can't see the road at all.
Cheng Chun Kui ran in one direction, but instead of taking the main road, she walked through the narrow alleyways.
After much twists and turns, we finally arrived at the back of an alley.
This is the back wall of the alley, with rows of back windows on the wall.
Cheng Chunqiu counted the number of back windows, then stopped under one and said, "Mom, I'm here!"
A moment later, the rear window opened.
Song Wenhui said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you only arriving now? It's so late, I was already asleep."
Cheng Chun-kui said, "The bar closes late, so I waited until Xiao-kui fell asleep after washing the dishes before I dared to come out."
Song Wenhui lowered her voice and asked, "Has Si Muyang left? Did he say anything to Song Yalan?"
Cheng Chun Kui shook her head and said, "No...they didn't say more than a few words, and Si Muyang didn't leave either; he stayed."
Song Wenhui asked in surprise, "He stayed. He's staying at Cheng Xiaokui's house."
Cheng Chun-kui nodded and said, "Yes, he's staying here."
Anger flashed across Song Wenhui's face. "They're divorced, what's he doing still living here? How does he sleep? Which room does he sleep in?"
Cheng Chun Kui hesitated for a moment before saying, "He...he slept in Xiao Kui's room...he said his mother asked him to stay and keep Xiao Kui company..."
Song Wenhui punched the windowsill and fell down.
She said, "You little slut, after all these years, you've not only harmed people, but you've also seduced them! You're divorced, yet you still cling to men!"
Cheng Chun Kui asked with a puzzled look, "Mom, wouldn't it be a good thing if Xiao Kui could remarry Si Mu Yang?"
Women who get divorced are often gossiped about and talked about behind their backs by their neighbors. It would be great if they remarried!
Song Wenhui said, "You don't know anything! She's destined to be alone. She'll bring bad luck to everyone around her, including Si Muyang. If Si Muyang stays with her, he'll die sooner or later."
"You go and say bad things about her to Si Muyang, and don't let him be with her!"
Cheng Chun-kui said, "This...this isn't right. She's my sister!"
Song Wenhui sneered and said, "You really think you're Cheng Xiaokui's older sister."
Be smart. If I say you are Cheng Chun Kui, then you are Cheng Chun Kui. If I say you are not, then you are not!
If you want to have a good life with Cheng Xiao Kui, then you'd better listen to me obediently!
Cheng Xiao Kui cannot be with Si Mu Yang, absolutely not! You've broken them up!
Cheng Chun Kui said, "But they were doing just fine, how could I have broken them up? Besides, Cheng Xiao Kui doesn't have any flaws, so I can't say anything bad about her even if I wanted to.
Song Wenhui said, "Isn't that easy to handle? Just say she's hooking up with another man. I've seen Dr. Song always following her around. Just say they're having an affair."
And those two men surnamed Jiang and Du, they're like flies drawn to rotten eggs, always buzzing around her, they definitely don't have any good intentions.
With so many men around her, it's easy for you to say bad things about her. You can just say she's seducing any man you want!
Cheng Chunqiu lowered her head and hesitated before saying, "This... just to break her up with Si Muyang, they ruined her reputation... this..."
Song Wenhui said, "Are you going to do as I say or not? If you don't listen, I'll say you're not Cheng Chun Kui tomorrow!"
Cheng Chunqiu had no choice but to nod and say, "I'll do as you say..."
Song Wenhui said, "That's more like it. Be smart. If you follow Cheng Xiaokui, at least you'll have food to eat. As long as I tell you you're not Cheng Chunkui, you can continue begging on the streets!"
Suddenly, Cheng Qiuqiu's voice came from inside the room, "Mom, who are you talking to?"
Song Wenhui quickly closed the back window and said, "Who's talking? I'm opening the window to let some fresh air in."
Cheng Qiu Kui asked, "It's so cold, why are you opening the window to let in some fresh air? Don't you think it's cold enough?"
Song Wenhui said, "Go to sleep, why do you care about your mother?! Tomorrow, spend more time with your brother doing rehabilitation exercises. I think he can take some steps forward now, with more practice, maybe he'll be able to walk soon."
Cheng Qiuqiu mumbled, "Okay, okay, I'll help your precious son practice walking tomorrow!"
Song Wenhui slapped Cheng Qiuqiu's quilt with dissatisfaction, "How dare you talk like that? You don't sound happy at all!"
Girls are definitely more outgoing; she gives me the cold shoulder the moment I ask her to do something for the family!
Cheng Qiuqiu grumbled, "What face did I give you? You're sexist and you still dare to criticize me!"
After listening to Cheng Qiu Kui and Song Wen Hui arguing for a while, Cheng Chun Kui slowly took a few steps back, then changed direction and ran away...
The next morning, Cheng Xiaokui woke up to find her side empty, wondering when Si Muyang had left.
She got out of bed, walked to the washbasin stand, and reached out to touch the thermos.
The thermos was full; Si Muyang had already filled it with hot water for her, and there was still half a basin of clean, cool water in the washbasin.
She poured hot water into the basin, adjusted the temperature, and comfortably washed her face.
After she finished washing up and went outside, she saw Cheng Chun Kui busy working in the kitchen.
Cheng Chunqiu had already brought back all the various meats in a tricycle, just as she had instructed yesterday.
Cheng Xiaokui prepared the seasonings for the braised dishes, as well as the seasonings for the fried chicken frames and grilled skewers.
She told Cheng Chun Kui to wait until all the aunties and grandmas who were supposed to be working arrived before working together, because she was really worried that Cheng Chun Kui would get tired.
Cheng Chun Kui saw Cheng Xiao Kui off at the gate. She stood at the gate, watching Cheng Xiao Kui's departing figure, her brows furrowed into a knot.
She was relieved that Cheng Xiao Kui was now living her own life and not with Song Wen Hui.
Cheng Xiaokui walked through several alleys and found the place she had arranged to meet Si Muyang.
Sure enough, there was a young comrade waiting for her there.
She stepped forward and gave the coded message, "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, demon, quickly reveal yourself!"
The young comrade said, "Comrade Xiao Kui! Chief Si asked me to give this to you. He instructed you to keep it safe!"
Cheng Xiaokui took the small box from the young comrade and gave him an OK sign.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely put it away safely!"
She put the small box into her military green canvas backpack, waved, and walked towards the hospital where Zhang Weidong was staying.
Zhang Weidong was staying at the General Hospital, which wasn't far from her home; she could walk there in no time.
She took the elevator up to the floor of the inpatient department that Si Muyang had told her about.
Elevators in this era were all old-fashioned, the kind with sliding doors and iron bars. When people sat inside the elevator, they could clearly see outside through the iron bars and doors.
Zhang Weidong's ward was on the fourth floor, which was considered a ward for retired cadres and had the best facilities in the entire hospital.
Moreover, all the wards here are single rooms, so one person can stay in one room.
When Cheng Xiao Kui arrived on the fourth floor, she could tell at a glance which ward belonged to Zhang Weidong without even looking at the room number!
Two guards were standing at the door of Zhang Weidong's hospital room!
