I originally thought it would be more than a year before I could see Li Yang and Li Yun, but if what Bai Jiaojiao said is true, then we can meet anytime.
Bai Shiqing went back and relayed these words to Li Shuxian.
Li Shuxian was most concerned about Meng Hongmei: "Although my younger sister has been her neighbor for two years, as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Even if we have been neighbors in Shili Village for a lifetime, no one would dare to easily entrust their child to someone else."
“I also told my younger sister, and she said that she and her husband take them out to eat lunch every day. Think about it, they take care of our children, and at most they skimp on their food. What else can they do?”
Li Shuxian thought for a moment and said to Bai Shiqing, "Then if you've thought it through, bring the children over. I've missed them terribly since I haven't seen them for so many days."
“We also need to ask if they are willing to help us take care of the children. If they are, we will send a message home to see when my brother-in-law is free, and then I will go back to pick up the children.”
Bai Shiqing is an impatient person who wants to do things immediately, let alone pick up her precious darling.
Li Shuxian said, "Let's wait until the weekend. My brother-in-law doesn't have classes, and I'm off work too. Two days is enough for us to go back and forth. I'll go with you. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of the two kids on the train."
"OK."
Bai Shiqing hugged Li Shuxian, finally feeling a huge weight lifted from her heart.
Bai Zhiman lives in Shili Village, and now he spends all his time in his wheelchair at the entrance of the village committee.
"Uncle Man, you've arrived?"
Zheng Xu had just returned from the fields when he saw Bai Zhiman again, so he greeted him.
Ever since Bai Shiqing left, Bai Zhiman has been coming here all the time. Zheng Xu thought to himself that the eldest daughter is still the most favored. This old father probably comes here every day to wait for a phone call.
"Uncle Man, if it really doesn't work, why don't you give them a call? The kids are all busy and forget to call you. Why don't you take the initiative to call them?"
Zheng Xu added an extra comment.
"Okay, sure."
Bai Zhiman only agreed, but did not take any action.
Zheng Xu glanced at it, didn't try to persuade him further, and went into the office.
Bai Zhiman circled around outside a few times, as if he had made some important decision, and then wheeled himself into the brigade office.
"I'm here to make a phone call."
Zheng Xu smiled and said, "Hey, Uncle, you can do it."
"Captain, could you give me some space? There are some things I don't want others to know."
Upon hearing Bai Zhiman's words, Zheng Xu immediately stood up and said, "Okay, Uncle, you can have it. I'll go outside."
Everyone has their private matters, so Zheng Xu didn't think much of it.
Bai Zhiman took a piece of paper out of his pocket and dialed the number on it.
While waiting for the call to connect, Bai Zhiman couldn't help but swallow hard.
It's a weekday, and only Grandpa Yang is home.
He answered the phone and asked, "Hello? Who is this for?"
"Commander Yang, this is Bai Zhiman."
When Grandpa Yang heard this name, his hand gripping the phone tightened involuntarily.
After waiting for a while without hearing any response from Old Master Yang, Bai Zhiman swallowed and continued, "Commander Yang, I made this call too late."
Grandpa Yang had never met Bai Zhiman, but this phone call from him filled him with mixed emotions.
As a father, Yang Fu was eager to know what kind of person his daughter had chosen as her husband, and how he had accompanied her through the last few years of her life.
Yang Fu couldn't quite define his feelings for Bai Zhiman, and still didn't know how to answer.
Bai Zhiman could only continue, "I know that my taking Xiao An away must have been a huge blow to you. It's also because I didn't persuade her to stay, and we kept this a secret from you for so many years. If it weren't for me, Xiao An might have lived a peaceful life in Yancheng, instead of..."
Bai Zhiman was deeply in love with Yang An, and even now, when Yang An is mentioned, the man in his fifties still gets a little choked up.
In fact, Bai Zhiman thought about these things many nights.
If Yang An hadn't come to Shili Village with him, would she have avoided dying in childbirth?
“It’s not your fault,” Old Master Yang finally spoke up. “Even without you, she wouldn’t have stayed in Yancheng.”
Grandpa Yang seemed to have made a great decision when he spoke, and after he finished, he let out a heavy sigh.
In his grief, Bai Zhiman sensed a hidden meaning in Old Master Yang's words.
What do you mean by that?
Grandpa Yang took a deep breath. Although his emotions were in turmoil, he did not want to show his vulnerable side in front of his son-in-law, whom he had never met before.
He said, "I've read the farewell letter you sent to Jiaojiao. I didn't write it. Someone faked our deaths to try and destroy Anzi. Your appearance only provided this person with an opportunity. Even without you, I think this person would have come up with other ways."
Bai Zhiman listened, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper: "So someone orchestrated this? Have you found out who it was?"
Bai Zhiman thought this phone call would be a private confession, but after hearing what Old Master Yang said, he felt that what he said now was no longer important.
If Yang An's fate was deliberately arranged by someone, he would not accept it and would never let that person go.
Grandpa Yang was not an emotional person, and at this moment his rationality prevailed again. He asked Bai Zhiman on the other end of the phone, "It's been too long, and we weren't home at the time, so there's no way to find out now. Since you were dating Anzi back then, didn't you notice anything?"
Bai Zhiman knew the seriousness of the matter, but when asked so suddenly, he couldn't recall it at all.
"Commander Yang, let me go back and think about this matter carefully, and then I will give you an answer."
