Song Lan said calmly, "When I came here today, my younger sister said that she and Wen Zhiqing have broken up."
"What breakup talk? Sister-in-law, it's not that I mean to gossip, it's just that I never stopped Yaqing and Wen from dating in the educated youth compound. But Yaqing is stubborn and only has eyes for him."
Then, in September of this year, Wen Zhiqing, who was usually quite close to Yaqing, suddenly distanced himself from her and even intentionally avoided her. Anyway, I think he's a fake person and not a good marriage prospect.”
"If my younger sister could be as clear-headed as you, Comrade Li, our whole family wouldn't be so worried about her."
Hearing Song Lan say this, Li Qiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since everyone at home is worried about Ya Qing, why hasn't she received any packages from home since she went to the countryside?"
"I only got married to my husband last year."
Song Lan's expression showed no sign of distress. She said, "I only heard after the marriage that my eldest sister had secretly signed up to go to the countryside without the family's knowledge. I guess the family was angry with her, which is why they didn't contact her. And when she left, she didn't say goodbye to the family either. She had a lot of money on her at the time."
Therefore, the whole family wasn't worried about whether she would eat and drink well in the countryside; their only concern was that she might be deceived and lose her money.
But my eldest sister hasn't written home since she went to the countryside. My father-in-law and husband are busy with work, my mother-in-law is in poor health, and my second brother and sister are still young. We don't have my eldest sister's address in the countryside, so even if we wanted to send something, it would be in vain.
In August or September of this year, some things happened in my family. My mother-in-law became seriously ill and was hospitalized. So, my second brother and sister-in-law, relying on some connections in the family, finally managed to find out where my eldest sister was working in the countryside... But not long after they sent a letter to my eldest sister, my mother-in-law passed away. One thing after another happened in the family.
Especially since my husband was seriously injured at work and is now in a coma, it's really difficult for us to take care of my younger sister.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood!"
Li Qiu's eyes were filled with frustration. She thought the Qin family members were all heartless and would ignore Qin Yaqing, but she didn't expect that the reality was not as she thought.
For a moment, she felt genuinely guilty in front of Song Lan.
"nothing."
Song Lan shook her head, a smile playing on her lips: "Everything at home is back to normal now, and I've found a job for my younger sister, so my second brother and I came here specifically to bring her back."
Speaking of this, Song Lan remembered something. She frowned slightly and said to Li Qiu, "Comrade Li, could you please call that educated youth Wen out for me? I have something I want to ask him."
"Please wait a moment."
Without saying a word, Li Qiu walked towards the entrance of the male educated youth dormitory. A short while later, Wen Qiming came out of the dormitory. It is unclear what Li Qiu said to him, but the next moment, he walked towards Song Lan, while Li Qiu stood at the entrance of the male educated youth dormitory without moving.
This makes it easier for Song Lan and Wen Qiming to talk.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
Wen Qiming walked up to Song Lan and asked her a question.
“I am Qin Yaqing’s sister-in-law. My family and I are well aware of your relationship with my younger sister.”
Seeing Wen Qiming's expression change slightly, Song Lan remained calm: "I called you here not to accuse you of anything. After all, even if you have made a thousand mistakes, in the end, it was my younger sister who misjudged people and fell into the illusion you created, which ultimately led to her being abandoned by you and ending the relationship between the two of you."
But there's one thing I hope you can answer me truthfully.
Wen Qiming felt like a clown, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground. He hadn't expected Song Lan, or even the Qin family, to know him so well.
—A fabricated illusion!
Yes, his relationship with Qin Yaqing wasn't genuine. He just felt there was something to gain from her, so he deliberately created the illusion of attraction to confuse her and make it easier for him to control her.
His face flushed, Wen Qiming pursed his lips, his expression strong and calm, and said, "Ask away."
“My husband wrote a letter to my younger sister not long ago, but we haven’t received a reply from her yet. Today I asked her what happened, and she said she didn’t receive my husband’s letter at all. I want to know… is that letter in your possession?”
With a serious expression, Song Lan emphasized before Wen Qiming could speak: "You should know that if I want to find out where that letter went, I can just go to the post office in this town and find out the truth without much difficulty."
After all, it hasn't been that long since the letter was sent, and the post office staff usually have someone sign for the mail when they deliver it.
Wen Qiming was stunned. After a long while, his lips twitched, and his eyes were full of guilt. He said, "I'm sorry! I forgot to give the letter to Qin Zhiqing. I remember that afternoon I was working when I suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain, so I asked the brigade leader for leave to go to the village clinic to see a doctor..."
The clinic and the brigade headquarters in Qiaoxingtun were in the same courtyard. Wen Qiming explained that he went to the clinic for a medical appointment and happened to meet the town postman delivering mail to the brigade headquarters. He saw that there was a letter from Qin Yaqing, so he kindly helped to sign for it, thinking that he would give it to Qin Yaqing after she finished work and returned to the educated youth compound.
Unexpectedly, he felt unwell in his abdomen, took some medicine, and slept until the next day, completely forgetting about the letter.
After listening to the other person's explanation, Song Lan didn't say whether she believed it or not. She simply asked, "Where is that letter now?"
"I'll bring it to you right away."
Wen Qiming was glad he hadn't thrown the letter away. He turned and went to his dormitory to retrieve it.
About two or three minutes later, Song Lan saw Wen Qiming walking over with a letter in his hand.
"This is the one."
