Song Lan picked up the phone and dialed.
"Hello……"
"Xiao Wu, I'm your sister-in-law."
Qin Yuhang's voice came through the microphone, and Song Lan immediately called out to him. Recognizing it was her, Qin Yuhang asked, "Sister-in-law, is there something you want to say?"
Song Lan hummed in agreement, then solemnly gave a few safety instructions, concluding, "You, Xiao Liu, and Da Bao should tell them that once they leave the courtyard..."
Be extremely cautious of strangers approaching. If you sense something is wrong, turn around and run home, calling for help as you go. If you can't get home in time, resort to force. In short, protect your own safety.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I've got it. I'll tell my sister and Da Bao!"
Qin Yuhang made a guarantee.
"By the way, you and Xiao Liu should remember my adoptive parents' daughter named Song Jiaojiao. Remember to be careful to keep her away!"
Song Lan emphasized her words.
"Sister-in-law, isn't that person undergoing reform through labor at the farm?"
Qin Yuhang asked.
“She has completed her reformatory period and regained her freedom. I am worried that she might have a mental breakdown and hold a grudge against me and her for being switched at birth, which could be detrimental to our family.”
Song Lan expressed her concerns.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will protect my sister and Da Bao. Also, I will make sure Mei Mei and Da Bao practice their martial arts at home!"
Qin Yuhang spoke solemnly, and upon hearing his words, Song Lan's tone revealed relief: "Okay, sister-in-law, I believe you. However, when you go out to play, you still need to pay more attention to safety. If anything really happens, remember to call me."
Song Lan left the landline numbers for both the courtyard house and the hospital office with her family in the villa area.
"OK."
Qin Yuhang responded.
Song Lan gave a few more instructions before ending the call.
-
Song Jiaojiao did indeed set her sights on the four treasures. After Qin Yanzheng's car drove away, she emerged from behind a large tree, about the size of a bowl, at the crossroads where she had been hiding.
After gazing at the Qin family's location for a moment, Song Jiaojiao looked away and muttered to herself, "Since the little brats are left here and won't run away, I might as well leave them for now and deal with them later. Right now, I need to finish up another matter first."
As for what happened, only Song Jiaojiao herself knows.
Song Ning did not go home. After buying what she needed at the black market, she went to ask Zhao Yuzhou to come to the Song family home to see her the next day.
Although Zhao Yuzhou was puzzled and didn't understand why Song Jiaojiao wanted to meet him at the Song family the next day, he still agreed.
Here it's worth mentioning that Song Jiaojiao didn't enter the Zhao family's house. Instead, she found a child nearby to go to the Zhao family to call someone. After meeting Zhao Yuzhou, she didn't care about his expression and immediately told him why she had come to see him.
And after the music faded, he didn't linger for a moment, turning around and heading home.
"Is it Song Jiaojiao who's looking for you?"
As Zhao Yuzhou entered the house, he was greeted by his mother's question. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, because he knew that his mother disliked Song Jiaojiao. If she knew that it was Song Jiaojiao who had come to see him, she would definitely be furious!
Composing himself, Zhao Yuzhou shook his head: "No."
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
Zhao's mother was skeptical.
"It's definitely not Jiaojiao. A friend of mine asked me to do him a favor tomorrow."
Zhao Yuzhou is lying.
"You agreed?"
When Zhao's mother asked, it was clear that she believed what Zhao Yuzhou had said.
"Yes, I agree. After all, we're friends, and it's not a difficult thing. I have no reason to refuse."
Zhao Yuzhou replied.
"Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
Zhao's mother frowned.
"Taking a day off is no big deal."
Zhao Yuzhou said casually. Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother was silent for a moment before speaking: "Forget it, as long as it's not that wicked Song Jiaojiao who's looking for you, you can do whatever you want tomorrow."
In fact, Zhao Yuzhou passed the college entrance examination in the second year after it was reinstated and entered a university for further studies. After graduation, he was assigned to a fairly good job.
The next day.
The Song family.
In the afternoon, after Song Weiqiang, Luo Yueqin, and Song Chenguang and his wife took their child out, Song Jiaojiao felt both nervous and excited. She was nervous because Zhao Yuzhou would be coming to find her soon, and excited because once Zhao Yuzhou arrived, the plan she had been keeping in her heart could be carried out smoothly.
With a quick glance around, Song Jiaojiao went back to her room and retrieved the two bottles of soda she had bought the day before. She opened the caps, added some toppings to each bottle, and then took one of the bottles to Song Ning's room.
"For you."
Song Ning was lying in bed when Song Jiaojiao handed her a bottle of soda. She didn't get up to take it, but instead looked puzzled: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Sister, what are you saying?!"
Song Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said, "I'm trying to please you!"
"Trying to please me?"
Song Ning scoffed: "Do you think I'd believe that?"
"Sister, don't judge me by my own standards. If it weren't for Mom and Dad disliking my time on the farm, would I need to curry favor with you?"
Song Jiaojiao looked aggrieved: "Sister, you're my own sister. I hope you can put in a good word for me with Mom and Dad, so they won't treat me like I don't care anymore. It makes me feel really bad!"
Why didn't you ask your older brother for help?
Song Ning asked.
She didn't mention her younger brother, Song Chenyang, because the year Song Chenyang took the college entrance exam again, he was admitted to a prestigious university in Shanghai. After graduation, with the help of his boyfriend's family, he stayed in Shanghai to work.
Over the years, except for a short trip back home during the Spring Festival, he has spent the rest of his time in Shanghai.
The reason is simple: Song Chenyang didn't want to spend much time with his family because of their previous schemes against Song Lan.
Therefore, he chose to study in another city and was unwilling to return to Beijing after graduation.
"I did want to ask my older brother for help, but he doesn't like me either, just like my parents. And my younger brother isn't in Beijing. I don't know who else I can ask for help besides you."
Seeing Song Jiaojiao's humble posture, Song Ning sat up, took the soda from Song Jiaojiao's hand, and gulped down several mouthfuls.
"I've agreed to put in a good word for you with your parents. Now you can go about your own business!"
Song Ning waved her hand, urging Song Jiaojiao to leave.
Just then, Zhao Yuzhou's voice came: "Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao, are you home?"
"Sis, I'm going out."
As Song Jiaojiao spoke, she turned and left the room.
"Come in and sit down in the living room."
She came to the yard and invited Zhao Yuzhou into the living room. Then she went back to her room to get another bottle of soda that she had spiked. Returning to the living room, she handed the soda to Zhao Yuzhou: "Drink this. I bought it."
Zhao Yuzhou looked at the soda in his hand, and after a moment, he handed it to Song Jiaojiao: "You drink it."
"No need, I've already had some. This was specially saved for you."
Song Jiaojiao waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and drink it, this is my heartfelt gift."
Not wanting to upset Song Jiaojiao, Zhao Yuzhou nodded, picked up the soda bottle, and drank half of it in one gulp.
