Rural houses are usually quite simple, with relatively thin walls. Although Shi Yan renovated the house after her economic conditions improved and added a soundproofing layer, she still felt extremely nervous.
Shi Yan bit her lip tightly, as if afraid to make a sound. This tension not only affected her but also allowed Wang Hu to experience that extreme feeling again.
Unlike Wu Lirong, who only tensed up slightly for a moment, Shi Yan remained highly tense throughout the entire process.
Time ticked by, and finally it was past 4 a.m. the next day. By then, Shi Yan was exhausted and fast asleep. Wang Hu carefully dressed and tiptoed into the yard.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of the door to Shi Yan's daughter's room being opened. This sudden noise startled Wang Hu, and without thinking, he quickly leaped over the wall like a nimble cat.
At this time of day, although the sky was beginning to lighten, there were only a handful of people on the streets. These were farmers taking advantage of the cool morning air to hurry to the fields to work.
Along the way, people would greet Wang Hu from time to time: "Hu Zi, why are you up so early?" Wang Hu replied somewhat guiltily, "Grandpa, I'm out exercising!"
Having finally reached his own doorstep, Wang Hu breathed a sigh of relief. He dashed forward and easily scaled the wall like a monkey, entering the yard.
Upon entering his room, Wang Hu was surprised to find that the bed sheets and duvet cover had been torn off and taken away for washing.
He couldn't help but wonder, "They washed it for me, but they didn't give me a new one?"
As Wang Hu pondered this, he casually pushed open the door to a room next to him.
However, to his surprise, there was someone in the room!
He was startled by the sudden turn of events and hurriedly closed the door without even seeing who was inside, fearing that they might discover him.
Even after closing the door, Wang Hu's heart was still racing. He muttered to himself, "The soundproofing in this room is amazing! I couldn't even hear a breathing sound inside!" He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't barged in rashly, otherwise it would have been quite embarrassing.
Wang Hu stood at the door for a moment, then began to think about the accommodation situation at home.
He roughly calculated that with his aunt's family, his uncle's family, his two cousins and his two cousins, and so many other family members, the house would probably be full.
Thinking of this, Wang Hu sighed helplessly. He decided not to disturb the others, took a clean blanket from his room, and lay down on the sofa in the living room on the third floor. Before long, he drifted off to sleep.
Wang Hu slept soundly until 8 a.m. the next morning when he finally woke up.
He stretched and felt refreshed.
Wang Hu went downstairs for a walk and found that only his grandfather was watering the flowers with this watering can.
"Grandpa, where are my dad and the others?"
"You went to your third uncle's house! Your mom left you some food in the kitchen."
"oh"
Looking at the time, Wang Hu thought, "It's still quite early, no rush!"
So, after quickly washing up and eating, he prepared to take Lan Bing to the county.
At eight o'clock in the morning, sunlight streamed through the windows into the soy sauce factory office, where the workers were already busy at work.
However, Zhang Haili and Luan Ying arrived at the factory early, but Shi Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Haili looked at Luan Ying anxiously and complained, "What's wrong with Yanzi? It's so late and she still hasn't come!"
Luan Ying suggested, "Why don't we call her and ask?"
Zhang Haili nodded, quickly took out the iPhone that Wang Hu had bought for her from her pocket, and skillfully dialed Shi Yan's number.
However, no one answered the phone. Zhang Haili made several calls in a row, but the result was the same.
Zhang Haili frowned even more deeply. She said to Luan Ying, "I hope nothing bad has happened. You stay here and keep watch. I'll go check on her at home!"
Luan Ying agreed: "Okay, then go quickly!"
It turned out that after Shi Yan met Wang Hu last night, she didn't want anyone to disturb them, so she put her phone on silent mode.
Zhang Haili didn't drive, even though the cars Wang Hu bought for them had already been delivered, she hadn't gotten her driver's license yet.
So she hopped on an electric scooter and sped off towards Shi Yan's house.
When Zhang Haili arrived at Shi Yan's house, she immediately saw Shi Yan's daughter, Ya Ya, playing happily in the water in the yard.
Zhang Haili quickly called out, "Yaya, is your mother home?"
Hearing the voice, the little girl looked up and saw Zhang Haili. A bright smile appeared on her face as she replied, "Aunt Haili, Mommy is sleeping!"
Zhang Haili swiftly picked up Ya Ya like a gust of wind, then gently tapped Ya Ya's small, adorable nose with her finger and asked tenderly, "Why is she still sleeping at this hour? Have you had breakfast?"
Ya Ya, still half-asleep, answered in her childish voice, "I've eaten! I'm so smart! I got the bread myself and poured my own milk!"
"Wow, Yaya is amazing!" Zhang Haili couldn't help but praise, a gratified smile on her face.
However, when she pushed open the door to Shi Yan's room, a strange smell wafted out. Zhang Haili immediately realized what was happening. She quickly put Ya Ya down and said softly, "Ya Ya, go play in the yard first. Aunt Haili is going to check on your mother."
Ya Ya nodded obediently, then ran off to play in the yard like a happy little bird. She picked up the basin and started playing happily in the water, completely unaware that Zhang Haili had closed the door after entering the room.
Zhang Haili slowly walked to Shi Yan's bedside. Looking at Shi Yan's peaceful sleeping face, a complex emotion welled up in her heart. She gently patted Shi Yan's cheek and softly called out, "Shi Yan, wake up..."
Shi Yan slowly opened her eyes, looking at Zhang Haili sleepily. It took her a while to come to her senses. She squinted, still seemingly not fully awake, and asked indistinctly, "Um... what's wrong?"
Zhang Haili took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice calm, and then asked directly, "Wang Hu was at your house last night, and he stayed up all night with you, right?"
Shi Yan's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded gently.
Seeing Shi Yan's reaction, Zhang Haili's jealousy erupted like a volcano.
Then Shi Yan said, "I was getting ready for bed around 9 pm last night when Wang Hu started climbing over the wall!"
This made Zhang Haili even more resentful. She pouted and glared at Shi Yan, asking, "Where is he?"
Shi Yan looked into her eyes, shrank her neck, and said, "He's gone. He wasn't in my room this morning when Ya Ya came in!"
