A hint of surprise flashed in Song Zhiyan's eyes. He frowned deeply, and although his tone was gentle, it contained a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you just get back? Why is Mom already trying to set you up on blind dates?"
Song Zhiya pouted, "It's all because of my aunt. She always says I'm so old and still not married. Then my aunt introduced me to a blind date, and I went because he seemed alright."
"I was so angry! You have no idea how arrogant that guy was! He acted like he was looking down on everyone."
This was the first time Song Zhiyan had seen Song Zhiya suffer a loss, and besides, the man who could get Song Zhiya to go on a blind date must be quite good-looking.
He asked curiously, "Who is it?"
The two chatted as they walked, and Song Zhiya pouted.
"His name is Shen Jialiang."
Upon hearing this name, Song Zhiyan stopped in surprise.
"Did your aunt introduce you to Shen Jialiang?"
“Yes.” Song Zhiya said with a distressed look, “Let me tell you, you have no idea how awful this person is! The first time we met for dinner, he abandoned me and made me pay the bill myself.”
"The second time we met, I brought him chicken soup, and he was very arrogant."
"..."
Song Zhiya clung to her brother's arm like a little bird, chattering away the whole way.
Song Zhiyan didn't expect it to be Shen Jialiang. Shen Jialiang is a name that is basically known in cultural circles.
He glanced at his sister, feeling that there was no possibility between her and the other person.
But Song Zhiyan knew that since Song Zhiya had agreed to go on the blind date, it meant that she had taken a liking to the other person.
If I were to say that there's no possibility between her and the other person, wouldn't that be asking for a beating?
…
When Chen Jiayi rushed home, Lan Meixuan was helping to cook in the kitchen. She whispered to Chen Jiayi that her grandparents were packing things up.
Chen Jiayi hurried upstairs and, to her surprise, helped her grandmother pack her things.
"Grandma, why are you packing now? Aren't the tickets for the day after tomorrow?"
Jin Yalin neatly folded a coat and put it into her suitcase.
"Pack up early, in case you forget later."
Chen Jiayi was a little reluctant to part with it, and she pursed her lips.
"Grandma, I'll take you there."
"Great! How did Jiayi do in school today?"
When this topic was brought up, Chen Jiayi couldn't help but smile.
"With the notes prepared by my grandfather, I can learn everything so easily now!"
Seeing Chen Jiayi's animated expression, Jin Yalin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lan Yuanbo snorted coldly, but said nothing.
Soon it was time for dinner. After finishing her meal, Lan Meixuan took the food she had packed in advance to the hospital.
Chen Qiming is still hospitalized. Chen Jiayi originally planned to go with him, but Lan Meixuan asked her to keep her grandparents company and chat with them.
Chen Jiayi didn't know what to say at first, but her grandmother took the initiative to guide the conversation, talking about the past and the future.
Chen Jiayi herself didn't realize that she had become more lively, cheerful and enthusiastic than before!
Although Jin Yalin was reluctant, she felt that as people get older, they just want to stay in their own little world.
.
When Ding Haowen and his family arrived home, they discovered that all their blankets had been stolen!
Ding Haowen was furious and had no choice but to pay to buy a new one.
However, because there were no extra tickets, Ding Haowen could only buy a quilt.
Because Ding Haowen has been away from home these days, even if the villagers wanted to gossip about him, they lost interest after a couple of days since he wasn't around.
Upon seeing Ding Haowen suddenly appear, someone asked curiously.
"Ding Haowen, don't you work for some unit in the city? Why are you coming home every other day?"
Ding Haowen gave an awkward smile, not wanting to reveal that he had been fired.
"My mother is sick, and I need to take care of her for a while, so I took a long leave of absence."
"Oh, I see. Have you heard anything about your child? I heard that the Lin family next door found their child."
Ding Haowen was shocked when he heard this.
"Really?"
Lin Dahai gave Ding Haowen a strange look. "Of course, but I reckon that old Lin family's son is ruined."
Ding Haowen's heart sank. "What do you mean? What happened to his son?"
Lin Dahai shook his head and sighed.
"Sigh, I don't know what happened to him, he's been acting like a dazed fool. And his eyes were gouged out..."
Upon hearing this, Ding Haowen was completely taken aback!
He couldn't help but think, if Dingxiang's eyes were also gouged out and she became a mentally challenged child... wouldn't he be raising another useless person?
Ding Haowen gave a forced smile.
"Brother Dahai, thank you for telling me."
Lin Dahai waved his hand dismissively, his eyes gleaming with gossip.
"I think that female doctor is staying at your house. What's going on here?"
Ding Haowen's lips twitched, inwardly cursing the other party for being so tactless, but on the surface he forced a smile.
"I plan to marry Yuzhu."
"What? Didn't you marry Chen Jiayi? These days, it's not allowed for one man to marry two women; you'd get arrested and sent to a labor camp." Lin Dahai replied in surprise.
Ding Haowen's expression changed, but he still patiently explained, "No, Chen Jiayi and I are already divorced. Yuzhu and I were originally a couple, but we just broke up back then."
Lin Dahai gave a knowing "Oh," and said, "I get it, old flames rekindled."
Ding Haowen: "..."
He chatted casually with Lin Dahai for a bit, and as he was carrying his new quilt home, he passed by the old Lin's house that Lin Dahai had mentioned.
Lin Dahai and the Lin family are actually brothers, but one is cunning and the other is honest.
The Lin family's son is very honest. Ding Haowen heard a sob that was neither too loud nor too soft, and he looked inside out of curiosity.
All I could see was a boy with blank eyes sitting in the yard, grinning foolishly.
He had drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were terrifying; one look at them sent chills down your spine.
Ding Haowen withdrew his gaze and quickly left.
Back at his home, Ding Haowen closed the door and took a deep breath.
Li Yuzhu was cleaning the yard, while Li Shufang kept finding fault with everything, complaining that this place wasn't clean enough or that place wasn't clean enough.
When Li Yuzhu saw Ding Haowen return, her eyes lit up, hoping that Ding Haowen could speak up for her.
Ding Haowen simply frowned, glanced at them, and turned back to his room.
Li Shufang saw it and sneered inwardly.
Li Yuzhu reluctantly cleaned the yard. She finally finished, but then she still had to start a fire and cook dinner...
She felt extremely wronged, but the thought of marrying Ding Haowen made her bear it.
Li Yuzhu hadn't cooked a meal in a long time, so she kept adding firewood to the fire while she was tending it.
Somehow, the entire kitchen was burned down!
Ding Haowen smelled a strong odor of smoke inside the house and rushed out, only to find that his kitchen was on fire!
His vision went black, and he felt as if one problem had just been resolved when another arose!
Ding Haowen hurriedly went to fetch water to splash in the kitchen. Seeing Li Yuzhu standing there at a loss, Ding Haowen shouted.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get some water to put out the fire."
Li Yuzhu said "oh" and quickly turned around to get some water.
As a result, my foot slipped and I accidentally fell.
Li Yuzhu felt a sharp pain in her buttocks, and her face was covered in a fine layer of sweat.
