Grandma Han pulled her daughter aside and explained the situation to the neighbor lady, asking them to keep an eye on her for now, and that her daughter could come back tomorrow when she was feeling better.
She took her daughter back to her own home, looking as forlorn as a walking corpse as she walked down the street with her mother.
Everyone was exhausted by then, and Shen Shiyu and her younger brother were rushed home by their uncle on a bicycle.
Old Mrs. Han was pulling her good-for-nothing daughter along when Old Mrs. Shen kept muttering beside Han Ping. Han Ping was lost in her own thoughts and didn't hear what her mother was saying.
Old Mrs. Han was exasperated with her son's lack of ambition. The whole way there, her mother's mouth was like a tight headband, constantly nagging.
Han Ping was still reminiscing about the past, wondering how she had managed to make such a mess of her life when she was living such a good life.
Song Yining studied diligently in her room, thanks to the original owner's strong learning ability.
Song Yining felt that her learning ability was much better than her memory ability in modern times.
In just one night, he thoroughly learned almost all the knowledge in a medical book.
As I was getting ready for bed, I suddenly heard what sounded like people talking.
"Oh dear, it's so hot today. I haven't been out all day. I need to find something to eat right now, I'm starving."
"That's right, I didn't come out either. There were suddenly a lot of people at this place today, so I didn't dare to come out. I was afraid those kids would come and chase me."
"Why is it so hard to find something to eat every day!"
"Who says otherwise? I just went to one and it gave me a real fright. I almost ended up meeting the King of Hell today."
"What's wrong?"
"As soon as I went in, I smelled a sweet and fragrant scent, so I went to look for it by the bedside."
Unexpectedly, the quiet room was suddenly lit up.
I saw some sweet pastries on the bedside table, and just as I was about to go eat them, I was spotted and ran away in fright.
"..."
"Being a mouse isn't easy, is it!"
"Who can argue with that? Let's just focus on living well!"
Listening to the conversation, Song Yining sensed something was off. Who was chatting there? Listening to the voices, Song Yining tiptoed around, trying to hear them clearly.
It seemed like I was very close to his room. I opened the door and went out, but after looking around outside, I still couldn't see who was talking.
Then they heard, "Hide quickly, that girl is looking for us again."
Song Yining looked left and right, but still couldn't find them. Mustering her courage, she said, "Who are you? Come out now, or you'll be sorry!"
The two mice were surprised. Had the girl heard them talking?
Song Yining whispered again, "I can hear you talking, so don't hide anymore."
The two mice looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Song Yining said timidly, "Come out quickly, I won't hurt you, I can give you food, I won't hurt you."
After saying that, he took some food from his spatial storage, which he had obtained from the Shen family's journey, put it on the ground, and then hid far away.
Song Yining waited a while longer, and the two mice, eager to try, finally mustered up their courage and came out.
When Song Yining saw that there were two mice, she was very surprised. Could it be that she could hear mice talking?
Looking at the two mice, Song Yining said in a very low voice, "Were you talking just now?"
The two mice have confirmed that the girl can hear what they are saying.
One of them, with a tuft of white fur on its back, mustered its courage and said, "Yes, it's us. Can you hear us?" The mouse was still quite surprised.
Song Yining looked at the rats and said, "Yes, I can hear you talking."
The white mouse said, "This is the first time we've encountered someone who can hear us."
Song Yining's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she said, "After you finish eating, keep an eye on things and don't let any other rats into my room."
Upon hearing this, the two mice nodded in unison and said, "We promise not to let any animal disturb you."
Looking at the two mice's adorable and silly appearance, Song Yining couldn't help but laugh, feeling that animals were easier to get along with than people.
The real Han Ping quietly devoted herself to her family, but she didn't receive her parents' favor, and in the end, her younger sister took over her home and husband.
Their own child was heartlessly abandoned. Compared to the feelings between humans, they are not even as simple, pure, and straightforward as those between animals, without any ulterior motives.
Song Yining lay down on the bed and quickly went to sleep. She had been traveling early in the morning, collecting herbs in the afternoon, and studying in the evening. She was exhausted from the day and fell asleep almost immediately.
Two mice patrolled around Song Yining's house like goalkeepers.
After returning to her parents' home, Han Ping was anxious to ask her brother to accompany her to find Shen Peng. She still wanted to tell him about what had happened at the Shen family that day.
With nothing left in the house, Han Ping said sadly to Shen Peng, "Brother Peng, my house was robbed last night. Now we have nothing left. Shen Zhi only has that little bit of allowance. The things we just bought yesterday afternoon were all stolen."
"We have nothing left. How are we going to survive? If we have nothing left, we'll just be stuck in this empty house."
Shen Peng, considering that Han Ping had given birth to his children, had no choice but to appease her first.
Shen Peng said, "Pingmei, you've suffered so much these years. I'll try to find the things that are missing from the house. Tomorrow I'll have someone get you some furniture or something."
There's nothing we can do about the new ones, but the old ones are still usable. You can use them for now, and we'll gradually replace them later.
How about this? You can focus on taking good care of the child; that's more important than anything else.
Han Ping was relieved after hearing what Shen Peng said, and the tension and fatigue of the day finally subsided.
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two gradually re-emerged. Han Ping endured her physical discomfort to please Shen Peng and said some nice things.
The two gradually drifted off to sleep. Han Ping's older brother dropped Han Ping off and then left. This was how his sister and Shen Peng had been all these years, and no one had ever found out.
Shen Peng now works at GW and still has some power. The Han family still needs Shen Peng's help to make ends meet.
Under Shen Peng's protection, Han Qiang managed to steal things every time his house was raided, and over the past ten years, he has amassed quite a fortune.
I slept without any dreams.
Two mice had been guarding Song Yining's room, which was unusually quiet last night.
At night, the ceiling above the bed is like a battlefield, with rats running around everywhere, making quite a scene.
Sometimes the biting and chewing on the roof is so intense that it can collapse, causing a bunch of mice to fall out.
He might even get bitten by a falling rat. Song Yining had never experienced that before, but his grandmother had told him funny stories from their past since he was little.
When Song's father was a child, a rat bit his toe. He was so scared at the time that he was too afraid to sleep at night.
For a long time, I didn't dare to sleep alone, for fear that I would be bitten by a mouse again at night.
