Song Xingming said, "Buying it when we get to Kunming is the same. Buying it now just means I have to carry it myself for an extra distance."
"It's different; there are more things here than in Kuncheng."
Song Xingming said, "They're all the same."
After saying that, he added a reminder: "If you buy too much, you might scare them. What if they find out it's not real?"
Lin Yufang said, "I've made up my mind. If it's really not true, then I'll adopt him as my godson."
Anyway, when she saw Song Shiting, she felt really excited, so she made up her mind that even if he wasn't her biological son, she would still adopt him as her godson.
So now, when I buy things, it's all out of a mother's mindset.
Song Xingming asked her, "If it's true, what about the one at home...?"
Lin Yufang immediately said, "If the house is fake, then my poisoning is definitely related to it. Imagine how terrible it is to think that the house has been keeping a venomous snake for thirty years."
Song Xingming, being more rational, said, "Let's take a look first."
Lin Yufang said, "No matter what, I like this young man."
So she doesn't mind buying more than she should.
In the end, they bought a lot of things, big and small.
She even went to a nearby pharmacy to have someone brew her some medicine, and only after drinking a bowl of it did she board the train.
All the way there, I couldn't wait for the train to arrive.
As for Ruan Qingling, she had already moved to a more spacious place.
Ya Ya was having a great time, pulling Song Ji along one way and then pointing to another and pulling Song Ji away.
Song Ji was afraid her granddaughter would fall as soon as she learned to walk, so she would hit wherever her granddaughter pointed.
The grandfather and grandson were having a great time.
Hearing Ya Ya's giggles, Ruan Qingling couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.
Song Ji thought she was studying, but she was actually working.
I just received an invitation from Crown Publishing yesterday. The serialized novel was so popular that, on behalf of Story Club, I'm asking them to write another serialized novel.
This is yet another source of income for Ruan Qingling.
Song Shiting was away for a month, and during this time, they basically didn't spend any money; the Ruan family covered most of the expenses.
When she returned this time, Song Ji brought out a box, intending to give her a batch of jewelry, but she didn't bring it back and left it there.
Song Ji is now determined to subsidize their living expenses, saying that she has been short of money for them over the years.
Ruan Qingling knew that this was Song Ji's inner turmoil.
She accepted the money, but set it aside, intending to use it to buy something for Song Ji.
There was still fifty yuan in my pocket that Song Shiting had given me at noon.
Song Shiting said that he couldn't always let Song Ji pay for their groceries; he could earn money and didn't want to be a kept man.
Ruan Qingling couldn't help but laugh whenever she thought of Song Shiting's tone of voice back then.
The groceries I bought this morning, and the half chicken that Ah Hai delivered this morning—this kind of life is already pretty good.
Song Ji, holding Ya Ya, said to Ruan Qingling, "I'll accompany Ya Ya for a walk outside."
Ruan Qingling said, "Mom, don't take Yaya too far. Let her look around nearby. Otherwise, she'll be too tired when she comes back."
Song Ji said, "Don't worry, I raised several children back then, so I know how to take care of them. It's you who needs to rest."
Ruan Qingling immediately smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I know what to do, it's just that my foundation is too weak, I need to study hard."
Song Ji took Ya Ya away so as not to disturb his daughter's studies.
On this side, Song Xingming and Lin Yufang arrived in town and headed straight for the Public Security Bureau.
However, when they arrived, only Xiao Jiang was in the station.
Xiao Jiang said, "Director Song and Director Zhao have gone on a mission."
Song Xingming nodded.
Lin Yufang, on the other hand, inquired about everything in the town.
She was quite observant and began to inquire about Song Shiting's residence in town.
Song Shiting was not there, but Ruan Qingling was still in town.
Xiao Jiang said that Song Shiting had recently moved, but he didn't know where the new house was.
Lin Yufang looked at Song Xingming.
Song Xingming said, "We're already here, what's the rush? It's only a matter of time."
Even so, Lin Yufang was anxious.
"You have no idea how anxious I was; that feeling can't be explained in just a few words."
"He's not coming back anyway, let's go look for him outside."
At Lin Yufang's suggestion, Song Xingming accompanied her outside.
...
Meanwhile, Song Hongyu smashed his best purple clay teapot at home.
They had agreed to go and keep the old man company, but unexpectedly, the two of them secretly went to Kunming.
What are we going there for?
He could tell they were going to find Song Shiting just by wiggling his toes.
He has done so much over the years, how could he allow such a thing to happen?
Lu Zhen and Song Ling had just returned from outside when they saw the ground in a mess, with porcelain shards scattered everywhere.
Lu Zhen looked at Song Hongyu with surprise and asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Song Hongyu said, "I suddenly felt unwell and my hand slipped."
Song Jie said, "The teapot is broken, so it's broken. Are you alright?"
Song Ling nodded and said, "Yes, things are just external possessions; we can just replace them. Brother, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
Song Hongyu nodded: "I'm feeling better, but I've been sick for a long time and I don't have much strength."
Song Jie immediately said, "We just went shopping with your sister-in-law and bought you some tonics. She'll make you some soup."
Song Hongyu's brows were furrowed with deep sorrow.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Song Jie asked.
Lu Zhen quickly asked, "By the way, how are you now? Are you feeling better?"
Song Hongyu said, "I'm fine. You clean up the broken pieces. I need to talk to the two of them."
As soon as he spoke, Song Jie and Song Ling exchanged a glance.
Song Ling asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
Song Hongyu: "You two come in with me."
Lu Zhen, holding a broom, wondered what was so mysterious about Song Hongyu that made him insist on bringing the two of them inside.
But with the porcelain outside needing to be cleaned up, she had no time to listen.
Inside the study, Song Ling asked, "Big brother, what's wrong? What do you want to tell us?"
Song Hongyu's expression turned serious. He coughed before asking, "Do you know where Mom and Dad are right now?"
Song Jie asked in surprise, "Didn't Dad go out on a business trip? Did Mom go to keep him company?"
Song Hongyu said with a pained expression, "That's not the case. Dad and Mom have probably fallen for a new scam."
Upon hearing this, the two sisters immediately became nervous.
Song Jie said, "Big brother, what did you say? What new scam? What's going on?"
Song Hongyu said, "I don't know the specifics, but I think we, as children, should go and check on things, just in case something really bad has happened."
Song Jie asked, "Big brother, where do you think we should go? I'll go."
Song Hongyu looked at his two younger sisters and said, "I found out. Dad and Mom went to a small place. He didn't go there on official business at all."
Upon hearing this, the two sisters became nervous.
They came back this time hoping to spend time with their parents, but this is what happened instead.
Song Jie immediately said, "Big brother, what are we waiting for? Let's go find Dad and Mom."
