Song Shiting said, "Zhao Dongsheng has some connection with the Lu family. His wife and the second branch of the Lu family are cousins."
Ruan Qingling frowned and asked, "Is it really such a coincidence?"
Song Shiting remained silent.
Ruan Qingling looked at him and said, "I think this poisoning incident is somewhat related to Zhao Dongsheng."
Song Shiting pursed his lips.
Ruan Qingling felt that Song Shiting's expression indicated that he himself had some doubts.
He asked, "Is that what you think too?"
Song Shiting said, "It's possible, but the person who poisoned him is dead."
Something flashed through her mind, and Ruan Qingling suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Then it's even more likely. Think about it, if Zhao Dongsheng has a problem, can he do it so secretly that it looks like he jumped into the pond and drowned? Also, I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot to ask if the family of the person who jumped into the pond has come out to cause trouble?"
Song Shiting remained silent.
Looking at his expression, Ruan Qingling asked, "Or did you already have someone investigate?"
Song Shiting said, "Well, it's just a preliminary suspicion. The relationship between the first and second branches of the Lu family isn't very good, so it's quite puzzling if they're connected."
After listening, Ruan Qingling pursed her lips.
I thought that by finding out about Ruan Meiying's case, I would be able to understand the series of operations behind it, but I didn't expect it to be an even deeper mystery.
She asked Song Shiting, "So what are you planning to do now? Are you still investigating people with the surname Zhao?"
Song Shiting replied, "Mm."
Ruan Qingling asked, "What kind of people are the eldest son of the Lu family? If they knew about Ruan Meiying's situation, would they dump her?"
Song Shiting looked at Ruan Qingling, whose face showed interest.
The only thing I wasn't afraid of was...
His voice was steady and powerful: "The Lu family has two sons and one daughter. The eldest branch has three sons. Ruan Meiying is talking about the youngest son of the eldest branch, and the daughter of the Lu family is the second wife of the eldest branch of the Ruan family."
Ruan Qingling counted on her fingers.
The relationship is a bit complicated.
After thinking for a moment, she had a sudden inspiration and said, "Is that second wife thinking of marrying Nguyen My Anh, whom she brought back from her second wife's side, to her own nephew, so that the good stuff won't go to outsiders and she can inherit the second wife's property?"
Song Shiting looked at Ruan Qingling.
Ruan Qingling blinked and said, "Don't you believe me? Think about it, doesn't the second branch of the Ruan family only have one daughter who has been living outside? No matter who it is, if we bring her back, won't we secure the wealth of this area? Didn't you say last time that the second branch of the Ruan family was particularly rich?"
Song Shiting's eyes were deep and intense.
...
Song Meili had been clamoring to go find her second brother for some time.
However, Wang Guihua always disagreed, and in the end, her family gave her money to find a place to live in town.
She arrived in town just as Song Shiting was injured.
When she heard the news, she shrank back like a turtle, not daring to show her face.
Bai Luomei came out of the village today.
She's been really annoyed lately.
A while ago, the health center was recruiting trainees.
She never expected that old man Song Minshan would refuse to register her.
By the time she found out, it was too late; the training course had already started.
I only heard today when I arrived in town that Song Shiting was hospitalized.
Bai Luomei looked at Song Meili and began to scold her: "I'm telling you, you're stupid. Isn't this the best time for you to repair your relationship? If you go to the health center to take care of him these few days, do you think your third brother is a heartless person? As long as you take care of him a little, he will be extremely grateful and will treat you well."
"Don't you even think about his current position? You're just trying to avoid taking care of him. What's the point of hiding like an ostrich? Have you considered how much you're losing by saving yourself trouble?"
Song Meili suddenly realized.
He immediately asked, "Even if you're just pretending, it'll take several days, right?"
But she wasn't even pretending!
That's really stupid!
Song Meili frowned and asked, "So what should I do now?"
Bai Luomei: "Hurry up and go to the health center. I'll go with you."
She also wanted to show off. She felt that a woman like Ruan Qingling would definitely not take care of Song Shiting. She should have known better than to make a scene at home and come to town earlier.
However, when the two arrived at the health center, they couldn't find Song Shiting. They heard that Song Shiting had been discharged from the hospital.
Song Meili asked with a disappointed look, "What do we do now?" Bai Luomei really wanted to see what Song Shiting's current situation was like, hoping that if she tried, there might still be a chance.
Thinking of this, she said, "Let's buy some things and go visit them!"
"When someone visits a person when they are vulnerable or sick, the goodwill towards them will increase rapidly."
However, Song Meili was afraid of spending money.
I wouldn't even buy malted milk powder!
Bai Luomei asked, "What are you worrying about now? You won't even buy some malted milk powder. How are you going to repair your relationship with your third brother? Don't let him ignore you again!"
Song Meili clutched the money in her pocket, refusing to let go.
Bai Luomei said impatiently, "Hurry up and make a decision. Don't go empty-handed. Do you want to bring a bunch of five-finger bananas?"
Song Meili opened her mouth and said, "I... I only have a little bit of money in town."
Bai Luomei rolled her eyes and said, "I think you're hopelessly stupid. Now that you're on good terms with him, are you afraid you won't get money from your third brother? Won't he take care of you?"
"Just tell him you bought malted milk powder with your money and you didn't even have food to eat. Do you think he'll be touched? Will he invite you to stay at his house for meals? You might even be able to live at his house and eat for free, with Ruan Qingling acting as your free nanny!"
This is wonderful!
Song Meili's mood instantly improved, and she no longer hesitated to buy things.
Song Meili used all the money she had to buy a can of malted milk powder, leaving her with two cents.
Bai Luomei thought to herself, "Poor and pathetic."
But his face showed an expression of approval.
The two went directly to Song Shiting's place.
Song Meili stood at the door and said, "We've arrived."
Seeing her hesitant and timid, Bai Luomei rolled her eyes inwardly and said, "Open the door! This is your third brother's house, not someone else's."
Song Meili's morale immediately soared. Yes, what was she afraid of?
She has already bought malted milk powder for her third brother.
The door was ajar; it opened with a push.
Upon seeing Song Shiting in the courtyard, Song Meili immediately called out, "Third Brother."
After Ruan Qingling went to class, Song Shiting moved a chair to the yard and read a book.
Having not seen them for some time, Song Shiting had almost forgotten their existence. When he saw Song Meili again, his eyes were filled with unfathomable depth.
Bai Luomei said from behind, "Third Brother Song, we just heard you were injured, so Meili and I came to see you."
Before Song Meili could speak, Bai Luomei interrupted her.
Completely unaware of this, she nodded and said, "Yes, Third Brother, how are you now?"
Song Shiting's eyes were cold: "No need, you can go back."
Song Meili immediately asked, "Third Brother, why? I came here specifically to see you."
Song Shiting: "I've already been discharged from the hospital, I don't need it, go back."
Song Meili waved the malted milk powder in her hand and said, "Third Brother, I came here specifically to see you. I spent all the money I had on malted milk powder, I..."
Song Shiting interrupted her, saying, "Go back."
Song Meili was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Bai Luomei immediately said, "Third Brother Song, please don't say that. Meili made many mistakes in the past, but she has corrected them now. You are still siblings, and there is nothing that cannot be resolved."
Song Shiting: "I want to read a book, you guys can leave."
Song Meili immediately said, "Third Brother, tell me what's wrong. I live in town now and can take care of you."
She placed the malted milk powder on the wooden stool next to Song Shiting, and pretended to roll up her sleeves, saying, "Just let me do whatever I need to do."
But after rolling up his sleeves for a long time, he still didn't move.
Song Shiting's eyelids twitched slightly: "No need, go back."
Now that Song Meili is here, she's not going to leave no matter what.
She pouted and said with a pitiful look, "Third brother, do you really not want me as your sister anymore? I came all this way to see you, and you're trying to kick me out?"
Song Shiting didn't want to talk anymore and lowered his head to continue reading his book.
Song Meili glanced at Bai Luomei.
Bai Luomei kept winking at her, signaling her to behave well.
Song Meili, making conversation for the sake of it, inadvertently revealed a piece of information: "Third brother, second brother..."
