The third son wasn't as sad as Song Jianmin when he left home this time.
He has been kicked out of his home for seven or eight months, and the dormitory has become his permanent residence.
She even made time to invite Song Jianmin out for dinner after work.
On Saturday afternoon, Song Anmin and Song Jianmin finished their meal and returned to the factory. He walked slowly all the way.
As he turned the corner, a tall, thin young man ran towards him, carrying a cloth bag. Behind him were two middle-aged men, one of whom was pale and looked unwell. Both of them were chasing after the young man.
Song Anmin forgot to spit out the sunflower seeds in his hand and was almost knocked into the road by the young man.
Song Anmin snapped out of his daze, cursed, and chased after the young man.
They dared to rob people in broad daylight.
Are you afraid of not getting caught?
Song Anmin was tall and had long legs. He had a clear target. He ran across the street and got closer and closer to the figure in front of him. Then he kicked the person in the back.
The young man fell to the ground and howled, then got up and tried to run away again.
Song Anmin spat.
"You dare to run?!"
Song Anmin kicked again, and the man fell flat on his face. Song Anmin snatched the cloth bag from his hand and looked back to see two middle-aged men running towards him, panting.
In that brief moment of inattention, a glimpse out of the corner of my eye, and the young man scrambled away.
Song Anmin stepped forward to give chase, but one of the middle-aged men who caught up with him blocked his way.
"Young man, forget it, forget it."
Song Anmin squinted, "Whose money is this?"
Another pale-faced middle-aged man said, "Thank you so much."
Song Anmin handed him the cloth bag and casually asked, "How did it get robbed?"
The middle-aged man was tall and fairly sturdy, but his complexion was not good. After running for a while, his face turned slightly red, and he was much worse off than the other man.
"There were many people outside the hospital, and I was robbed without even noticing."
Song Anmin nodded and said, "Be careful, there are quite a few people on the road."
The man looked embarrassed, clutching his cloth bag tightly and fidgeting with his trousers. He was wearing faded black clothes. He smiled at Song Anmin and said, "Hey, okay, thanks a lot. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have been able to catch up."
"That little rascal runs pretty fast, be careful on your way back."
Song Anmin thought to himself, "They probably earned their money through hard labor. It would be such a waste if they were robbed."
As Song Anmin was about to leave, the man offered him a bowl of noodles as a thank you, but Song Anmin quickly declined.
After Song Anmin left, the two middle-aged men also returned to their hometown.
“Cousin, this money is for Xiaoxue’s dowry, so you have to keep it safe. It was my fault for insisting on buying cakes earlier, otherwise they would have taken advantage of me.”
The thief approached the pancake stall, snatched the items from Xu Songyuan's hand, and tried to run away.
Xu Songyuan stuffed the cloth bag into his waistband. "Never mind, let's go home first, it'll get dark soon."
Xu Songyuan's wife drowned many years ago, and he did not want to remarry. He also had no children. Xu Songyuan's cousin, Xu Zhongtang, said that he would give his four-year-old daughter, Xu Xue, to Xu Songyuan so that Xu Songyuan could have an heir in the future.
Later, Xu Zhongtang and his wife had another son.
Xu Xue grew up with Xu Songyuan, who kept her true identity a secret from her, and neither did Xu Zhongtang and his wife.
Xu Songyuan and his daughter have a fairly good relationship. After raising her for so many years, their bond is stronger than that of biological parents.
Xu Xue is eighteen years old this year. She couldn't continue her studies after middle school and started working as a clothes seller in town. Recently, she fell in love with the youngest son of the town's Party Secretary and they are getting married.
Xu Songyuan was still worried about the dowry money. His family usually farmed, and when there was work, he would also help people repair houses, cut trees and do odd jobs. He had saved more than 400 yuan.
Xu Xue said the dowry money was too little, it should be at least 800 yuan. Xu Songyuan had no choice but to work hard to earn it. Later, through the introduction of Xu Zhongtang's friend, he was told that he could try the drug at the hospital.
A single trial of the drug can yield twenty or thirty doses.
Try it once a month.
The dowry money can be made up in a few months.
Xu Songyuan had already tried the medicine twice and felt no discomfort. Xu Zhongtang was with him, and the two cousins both felt that the money came easily.
...
Song Anmin was in a good mood because he did a good deed today, so he went to Song Yun's shop the next day, Sunday.
"Hey mistress, what brings you here?"
Song Anmin chuckled, touching his nose. "Third Aunt, I can't go home, and I'm bored by myself. I might as well come and help you with the chores."
Song Yun cooked him a serving of dumplings.
"I don't have any help with this, just do whatever you want."
Song Anmin, having no work to do, swept the shop clean, and Song Xiaoxiao woke up to find her third brother had arrived.
"Xiaoxiao, it's already ten o'clock, and you're only just getting up."
Song Xiaoxiao retorted, "Third brother, I'm still a high school student. Sleep is the most important thing for me."
Song Anmin: "Alright, alright, go to sleep."
Song Yun smiled without saying a word. After lunch, she was about to send Song Anmin away.
Song Anmin didn't want to leave, "Third Aunt~~~"
Song Yun: "Mistress, even if you come to me, there's nothing I can do. It's my brother and sister-in-law's decision, and I'm the dumbest one, I can't change their minds."
Song Anmin chuckled, "Third Aunt, just say a few good words for me every now and then. After a while, when my parents hear it enough, they'll give in."
Song Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Don't worry, Third Brother, I'll help you."
Song Anmin clicked his tongue, "It still has to be Xiaoxiao. I'm leaving now."
Watching Song Anmin's retreating figure, Song Yun laughed and cursed, "That little rascal."
Song Xiaoxiao: "Third Brother, you're dreaming."
In the afternoon, more people came to the restaurant to eat, and Song Xiaoxiao helped wash the dishes. It wasn't until after 8 p.m. that the restaurant became quiet.
