Song Shiting nodded, watching Ya Ya drink the soy milk while taking a sip himself.
Ruan Qingling said, "Then you should eat and rest. I'll take Yaya to Aunt Lan's place before going to the city."
Song Shiting lowered his eyes and said, "It's past my bedtime."
Ruan Qingling looked at him and said, "It would be best to rest and replenish your energy."
Song Shiting: "I have something to do at ten o'clock later."
Ruan Qingling said, "Then you should take a break when you have time."
Song Shiting looked at her and said, "Later, I'll accompany you to take Ya Ya to Aunt Lan's place and then take you to the station."
It would be more convenient for Ruan Qingling to take the bus there.
I've been riding my bicycle for too long.
Since Song Shiting took the initiative, Ruan Qingling naturally didn't refuse.
Ruan Qingling arrived at the bus stop at just the right time; the first bus passed by, and she boarded it.
Song Shiting said, "Be careful when things happen. If you can't handle it yourself, don't worry about it and come back soon."
Ruan Qingling nodded.
This is the first time I've discovered that Song Shiting can be such a chatterbox.
He's usually not very talkative, but today, after leaving Aunt Lan's place, he kept telling her to be careful, not to be competitive, and that taking care of herself was the most important thing.
It got her all fired up, like she was about to go to war.
Ruan Qingling couldn't help but smile at Song Shiting.
Before getting into the car, she suddenly moved closer to Song Shiting, her red lips close to his ear, making Song Shiting's ears turn red.
Ruan Qingling lowered her voice and said, "Do you know what you look like today?"
Song Shiting was taken aback and glanced at him sideways.
Ruan Qingling smiled gently, her red lips opening and closing, her voice clear: "Like an old woman!"
After saying that, she left only with her silvery laughter, and her charming figure had already run into the car.
Song Shiting paused for two seconds.
Then I looked up again.
Ruan Qingling was already waving to him from inside the car window.
The bus drove away.
Song Shiting stood there for a few seconds, then inexplicably touched his ear, as if there was still a strange smell there.
...
Ruan Qingling got off the bus.
Instead of heading straight to the original owner's house, they went to the convenience store first.
She came today without bringing any gifts.
They're mainly here to handle some business.
Seeing Ruan Qingling's surprised expression, Ashan asked, "You've come to see your dad again?"
Ruan Qingling smiled faintly and asked, "How's business lately?"
Ah Shan laughed: "Business is always the same. There are only a few households on this street at most, not one more."
Ruan Qingling smiled slightly: "That's still good."
Ah Shan shook her head: "Business is tough."
Ruan Qingling said, "This place is good; I can do business here and also earn some insider information."
Ah Shan laughed and scolded her: "What good are rumors?"
Ruan Qingling: "Of course it's useful. That's why I came to find you—because I need you."
Ah Shan looked at her with a gossipy expression: "What do you want to know?"
Ruan Qingling: "How's things at home lately?"
Ah Shan looked at her and said, "You should go home and ask."
Ruan Qingling sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do. Married daughters have no status. Even if they go home and ask, they won't get the answers they want."
Ah Shan thinks that's true.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. Didn't your house burn down? Now only your dad is repairing it."
Ruan Qingling asked, "Why is he the only one doing the repairs? Where is his second wife?"
“She took her daughter back to her parents’ home,” Ashan said.
Ruan Qingling was secretly delighted; with Zhao Mei gone, things would be much easier for her.
He said, "At this time, the only one who isn't helping out at home is Zhao Mei."
Ah Shan nodded and said, "That's true, but every family has its own affairs. If she has to make this choice, you can only accept it."
Ruan Qingling nodded.
She chatted with Ashan for a while, learned some information, and then headed to the Ruan family's house.
Nguyen Han Min is repairing the house all by himself.
The weather isn't exactly the height of summer, but Ruan Hanmin is getting on in years, and with Zhao Mei not around to take care of him properly, he's exhausted from working every day.
Like right now, I haven't even had a drop of water this morning, and it's already noon.
When Nguyen Thanh Leng arrived, Nguyen Han Min was squatting on the wall, working on the roof beam.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Ruan Qingling asked.
Nguyen Han Min turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"
Ruan Qingling looked around and saw that it was indeed quiet, so she said, "I came to take a look."
Ruan Hanmin squatted on the wall, slowly moving his feet, and said, "I'll come down in a moment."
Seeing that his old bones were almost immobile, Ruan Qingling said, "No rush."
Nguyen Han Min worked on it for another half hour.
Ruan Qingling admired Ruan Hanmin very much. He did everything himself, and even if Zhao Mei didn't care, he would still do it without complaint.
Ruan Qingling found a cool spot to squat down, looked up and asked, "Dad, has Second Sister written home recently?"
Nguyen Han Min nearly lost his footing.
Ruan Qingling noticed his body sway slightly and squinted, asking, "What's wrong? Is she looking down on our family now that she's making money?"
Nguyen Han Min said, "No, it's not."
Ruan Qingling: "What is that? Where are Aunt Mei and Third Sister? Isn't this the busiest time for the family? I've always respected and loved her. I came all this way just to see you, but you're not here."
Nguyen Han Min did not answer and prepared to climb down from the wall.
The bamboo ladder was very flimsy. He held onto the top of the wall with one hand and carefully stepped onto the crossbar. He could clearly feel tired and sleepy.
They really risked their lives to get the house repaired as soon as possible so that Zhao Mei and her daughter could come back.
My eyes are a little unsteady...
The next second, Nguyen Han Min lost his footing and fell off the bamboo ladder...
He fell and hit his forehead, leaving a hole.
When Ruan Qingling stood up and came over again, Ruan Hanmin's forehead was already bleeding.
As she checked him over, she asked, "How are you?"
Ruan Hanmin was terrified: "There's blood."
Seeing the profuse flow of blood on Ruan Hanmin's forehead, Ruan Qingling's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Dad, don't move around. If you get agitated, you'll bleed even more."
Ruan Hanmin was trembling. He said he was a grown man, but he was afraid of blood. He asked, "What do we do now?"
I was already scared, and now I'm even more scared!
He grabbed Ruan Qingling's hand and said, "Quickly take Dad to the hospital."
After saying that, he felt something warm and wet flowing into his eyes, and he was so frightened by the blood flowing into his eyes that he fainted.
Ruan Qingling took a small bottle out of her crossbody bag.
This is the bottle she got from the health center; she's kept it in her backpack, waiting to put it to use.
Ruan Qingling was quick; she filled a small bottle with blood, put it in her backpack, and retrieved it.
He then patted Nguyen Han Min's face while calling for help.
Finally, with the help of neighbors, it took a lot of effort to get the person to the hospital.
