Song Yun's house has been decided. It's located further inside Heping Lane, five houses away from the Song family's house. The courtyard is half the size of the Song family's house, but it's enough for Song Yun and her daughter to live in.
The rent is 15 yuan per month.
When Song Zhicheng's family found out about this, they clenched their fists and were about to confront Xiong Jing and the others. Old Master Song stopped them, saying that if they pushed them too far, Xiong Jing would have a miscarriage on the spot, and a life would be pinned on the Song family.
Grandpa Song took Big Dog and Little Dog to Song Yun's shop and packed up all the luggage. He even used a brush to clean the bloodstains inside. From then on, the two rooms were used specifically for storing things.
While moving, Song Yun also posted a notice outside the shop looking for workers. That afternoon, she found a young woman who was divorced and strong, so Song Yun kept her on.
The regulars at Chenguang Park all knew what had happened at the shop and felt sorry for Song Yun, saying how unfortunate she was to have such an ex-husband.
The police station sent officers over to take additional statements.
The two coats that Mo Hong had given Song Yun and her daughter last time were stained with blood. Song Yun thought that it wouldn't be good to wash them clean, so she bought two more coats according to the size on the coats and took them to the police station to inquire about the progress of the case.
Four days have passed since the incident. Both Zhuang Pinghua and Xiong Shugen have confessed. The facts of the case indicate that Xiong Shugen was the one who initiated the murder and bears primary responsibility. He will definitely receive a heavier sentence than Zhuang Pinghua. Based on past cases, the death penalty is almost certain.
Song Yun handed the clothes to the police officer, saying, "These two pieces of clothing were borrowed by your Captain Mo that night. I bought two new ones, and I would appreciate it if you could give them to her for me."
"Okay, you can come back to the office in a few days to ask again."
Song Yun nodded repeatedly and left.
She returned to her new home in Heping Lane, where all the furniture was in place. After get off work, Grandpa Song and Song Xinfu went to a secondhand furniture factory and bought a bed, cabinets, and a table. Grandpa Song paid for it.
Song Yun wanted to give the money to her father, but the old man refused with a dark expression, telling Song Yun to keep it for herself.
Song Yun's hand hasn't healed yet, so she and Song Xiaoxiao have been eating at the Song family's house for the past few days. Every time Song Yun goes to the shop and comes back, she buys some groceries on the way.
The Liu family has been in chaos these past few days.
After Xiong Laoniang and Xiong Jing were released from the police station that day, they stayed at the Xiong family's house.
Liu Qiangdao and his wife had long been displeased with Liu Aimei, especially Li Xia, who wouldn't even allow Liu Aimei to go back to her parents' home, let alone these relatives who were trying to freeload off her.
Every day, she argues with Xiong Jing in a sarcastic and sarcastic tone. Xiong's mother can't stand it, so she cries to her sister.
Old Lady Liu treated her sister better than her own daughter, and even scolded Li Xia several times.
Li Xia went berserk on the spot, flipping the table, cursing, and throwing things. Liu Qiangdao protected her, and Liu's parents would never hit their son.
The Liu family is in constant chaos.
The verdict hasn't been handed down yet, but Xiong Jing's family will inevitably have to pay Song Yun money. Where will Xiong Jing get the money? Xiong's mother can only cry to Liu's mother.
Old Man Liu refused to lend him money.
The family didn't have much money to begin with. In the past, Liu Aimei would give her family money, but now they haven't given any for two months. The family is tightening their belts to make ends meet, so it's impossible for them to give any money!
Old Lady Liu also felt that the Xiong family had handled things poorly.
Although the Song family is shrewd and stingy, they never thought of letting Liu Aimei and Song Guomin divorce. Liu Aimei is still the Song family's daughter-in-law. Xiong Jing's suggestion almost led to Song Yun's death.
What if Liu Aimei and her husband go back to the Song family in the future? How will they get along then?!
Old Lady Liu harbored resentment towards Xiong Jing, but since Xiong Jing was her own sister, she couldn't just ignore her.
Old Mrs. Xiong cried for a long time, but seeing that her eldest sister didn't say anything, she was still unsure of what to do.
"Sister, if we can't pay the money, will the police arrest us too?"
Old Lady Liu sighed, "They won't necessarily arrest you, but they'll probably have to take your belongings as collateral. You should find a job first."
Xiong Jing is heavily pregnant now, so it's unrealistic for her to go out to work. Only Xiong's mother can go out to work and earn money.
Old Mrs. Xiong's lips trembled, and she refused, then changed the subject and cursed the Song family again.
Old Lady Liu: "Alright, stop crying. I have to go out for a bit."
"What are you doing?"
Old Lady Liu: "Nothing, just going out to buy some things."
Old Lady Xiong could only watch her eldest sister leave in silence. Old Lady Xiong and Xiong Jing exchanged a glance, neither of them looking pleased.
Are we just going to abandon them?
Old Lady Liu came to Liu Aimei's house again today.
No one has sent a message to Song Guomin, and he is currently unaware of the Song family's affairs.
Upon hearing that Song Yun had almost been killed, Song Guomin immediately stood up and berated Zhuang Pinghua and Xiong Shugen.
"Mom, what brings you here today? You want money again, to raise money for your niece to compensate my third aunt?"
Old Lady Liu's face changed. "How dare you talk like that? I'm here to explain the situation to you. Who asked for money?!"
Liu Aimei tugged at Song Guomin.
Song Guomin snorted again, "The Xiong family can compensate us however they want, but I won't give them a single penny!!!"
After saying that, Song Guomin got up to leave.
Liu Aimei's eyes widened: "Where are you going now?"
Song Guomin scoffed: "Of course I'll go home and visit. Being related to the Xiong family is the worst luck imaginable!"
After saying that, Song Guomin slammed the door and left.
Old Lady Liu pointed in the direction Song Guomin had left, "Fine, I, his mother-in-law, am still here. What does Song Guomin mean by this?!"
Liu Aimei was also annoyed. "Mom, why didn't you tell me about Song Yun's matter sooner? Why are Xiong Jing and the others still staying at home? If Song Guomin's parents find out, they will definitely have a falling out!"
Old Lady Liu's eyes widened as much as a cow's.
"That's your mother's own sister, who cares about her if I don't!"
"But I'm still your own daughter! Have you ever considered my situation?!"
Old Lady Liu frowned but didn't say anything.
Liu Aimei understood the meaning behind her expression: her own sister couldn't be bullied, and it didn't matter how much others insulted her daughter.
Liu Aimei sneered inwardly, "Mom, I'm broke anyway, so please leave."
Old Lady Liu glared at Liu Aimei, angered by Liu Aimei's words.
"Fine, you're going to abandon me now, but don't ever come back to your parents' house again!"
After saying that, Old Lady Liu stormed off.
Upon hearing this, Liu Aimei became anxious, "Mom!"
Frustrated at not getting her money, Old Lady Liu slammed the door and left.
Yan Yan and Lele came out of the house.
"Mom, has Grandma arrived?"
Liu Aimei said with a stern face, "Go back to sleep!"
Liu Aimei was extremely annoyed; pursuing Song Guomin now was unrealistic.
Liu Aimei now truly believes that Xiong Jing's family is nothing but troublemakers. Originally, she and Song Guomin planned to gradually return to the Song family, but now look what happened! Everything has been ruined by Xiong Jing and her daughter!
Breaking into a house and then killing someone—that's incredibly stupid!
They actually managed to fool that little brat Song Xiaoxiao!
