Kyoto is so big, even if Aunt Ji is well-informed, she can't possibly know about all the houses being sold in the city.
Liu Shuhong went from street to street, also keeping an eye out for which houses were for sale for Song Yan.
I inquired about a house for sale; it was one I had just returned. The courtyard is quite large; it's a three-section siheyuan (traditional courtyard house).
When she spoke to Song Yan, she added, "Is it a bit too big?"
She heard that the house had a total of twenty-five rooms. She felt that the house she had inquired about was a bit unsuitable.
Song Yan, however, was very interested. "Did you ask how much it cost? Is anyone living there now?"
Liu Shuhong had inquired about all of this. "The landlord wants 26,000."
There used to be quite a few residents there. But the landlord wanted to raise the rent, and it was ridiculously expensive. The residents refused to pay, so the landlord's elderly wife started causing trouble every day. The residents couldn't take it anymore and left.
They say the old lady who owns the house is exceptionally formidable; otherwise, the tenants wouldn't have been able to leave.
Song Yan: "Can you find the homeowner? Contact her and I'll go check on her sometime."
"Huh?" Liu Shuhong was surprised; that was 26,000 yuan! Then she realized that Old Zeng was very wealthy. He had paid him a lot of back wages over the years.
Otherwise, her daughter and son would have come several times already.
Liu Shuhong walked out, lost in thought. Sometimes, it's really hard to say whether someone is truly close or not.
Didn't Zeng Lao's own daughter and son abandon him when he was going through the most difficult time?
Now that they see I'm useful, they've come back.
Having stayed here for so long, I've learned a lot. It turns out that all these years, Song Yan has been taking care of those elderly people from other villages in the brigade. They used to think Song Yan was only close to Old Zeng!
Even more coincidentally, it turns out that Wei Aiguo was not the old lady's biological son, but rather Zeng Lao's nephew.
His patriotic father was also a high-ranking official.
Even after Wei Aiguo learned that his mother wasn't his biological mother, he remained incredibly filial and continued to support Wei Ping and Wei An.
Look at what this old lady is eating and wearing now. When in the village can anyone enjoy such a blessing?
She knew that Song Yan was involved in the goods Liu Shuhong sold every day, and she vaguely felt that Song Yan was in charge of the business.
Xiao Hu isn't Aiguo's biological brother, but he's the one who's in charge of all these things.
Whether someone is close or not depends on how they get along; you have to exchange sincerity for sincerity.
Like Wei Erzhuang's mother, she's a snob who fawns over the powerful and belittles the weak, and all she ever thinks about is how to take advantage of others.
They were able to help out when the old lady's family was going through their toughest time. Now that Wei Aiguo is successful, he'll definitely lend them a hand.
The old lady said that when Wei Aijun passed away, she also fell ill. Aiguo was taking care of the elderly and their two newborns.
Those were incredibly difficult days, and the old lady remembers clearly who helped her.
She said that Erzhuang knew Aiguo didn't have time to chop firewood, so he secretly chopped firewood and brought it to her.
Why did she do it secretly? Wasn't it because her in-laws wouldn't allow it?
Erzhuang's parents disliked him the most because he was the least like them!
She didn't even want to live with Erzhuang anymore, but her aunt still helped her, only because she had given birth to two children for Erzhuang.
She felt terrible thinking about herself and Erzhuang.
Song Yan waited to view the apartment, but the landlord was out. Half a month passed, and it was now October 20th, a month before Song Yan's due date. Twins are definitely much bigger than a single birth. Song Yan couldn't go see the apartment anymore.
Old Zeng wasn't interested in the house. Auntie San went to look at the house, and today Aunt Ji accompanied her to complete the transfer of ownership.
Her mother-in-law went for a walk with Mrs. Hu, leaving Song Yan alone at home. She looked at the medical record Old Han had given her for a while, but then she couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
She felt a sense of unease.
When this feeling arises, nothing good ever happens.
Wei Aiguo hasn't returned for more than ten days...
Commander Shen hasn't come to see Yueyue since the last time. Ruomei said she doesn't know where her father went.
In her previous life, this country has already experienced tensions with a small neighboring nation this year! A war is expected next year.
Whenever war breaks out, it is related to soldiers.
Song Yan was very uneasy. What was the point of his anxiety? He couldn't help in his current state.
Song Yan heard the sound of the front door opening.
Footsteps approached her mother-in-law's door. "Yueyue, are you there?"
The footsteps reached the east and west wing rooms again, all searching for Yueyue. It was only because of her good hearing that she could hear them; otherwise, if Di Jianjun had deliberately lowered his voice, she probably wouldn't have been able to hear him.
Song Yan opened the door. "What's wrong with Yueyue?"
"Yueyue and I are playing hide-and-seek?" Di Jianjun said.
Song Yan: "If something happens to Yueyue, how long can you keep it from me?"
I knew it when I didn't see Yueyue at lunchtime.
A look of panic appeared on Di Jianjun's face. Even someone of Zeng Lao's rank who could get close to him was no ordinary person. If he was panicked, the consequences were obvious.
Song Yan: "Di Jianjun! Tell the truth, don't tell a single lie."
Di Jianjun had heard some things about Song Yan, and since Wei Aiguo was often away from home, Song Yan practically made the decisions in their household. But with her such a big belly…
"I told you to speak right now, and don't tell a single lie!" Song Yan said coldly.
Di Jianjun felt as if he were facing his superior…
Today was like any other day; Lao Zeng took Yueyue for a stroll, to their usual spot. Di Jianjun followed at a distance.
Gu San always treated Yueyue differently, and the two were like old friends.
Gu San often took Yueyue to the streets to shop for things.
Everyone knows that Yueyue is protected by Gu San, so no one on this street dares to mess with her.
Yueyue took Baishuang for a stroll around.
The wide main street is a straight road, with a row of houses and two alleys facing each other on both sides.
There are also secondhand shops in the alley, and Yueyue often goes in to browse.
Old Zeng sat there listening to people tell stories, while Di Jianjun wandered around but couldn't find Yueyue, assuming she had run off to play. He went to look for her, but still couldn't find her. That's when he realized something was wrong.
Old Zeng immediately told him to go find Gu San and ask if Yueyue had come to see him today.
When Gu San heard that Yueyue was gone, he immediately sent people to look for her.
Meanwhile, Lao Zeng asked Di Jianjun to go home and see if Yueyue had returned.
