After Xu Guiying returned home, Song Xinfu asked her what had happened.
Xu Guiying also wanted to keep Song Yun's secret, so she didn't tell Song Xinfu and told him not to interfere.
Song Xinfu muttered something like, "So mysterious."
Since the eldest, third, and fifth children were kicked out, the house has become much quieter, and the wrinkles on the old couple's faces have lessened.
Song Xinfu brought up Xu Zhongtang again, saying that Xu Zhongtang was a real scoundrel. Even if they weren't blood brothers, he shouldn't have pushed people into a fire pit. They'd known each other for decades, and Xu Zhongtang only took advantage of acquaintances.
"Kindness is often taken advantage of." Xu Guiying sneered. "Go to sleep, go to sleep. By the way, I'm going to my third sister's place tomorrow, I won't be back for dinner."
"Where are you going?"
"Don't worry about it!"
"Ugh, you're really something!"
"Going to sleep."
The next morning, Xu Guiying went to work. After a busy day, she rode her bicycle to Chenguang Park in a hurry after get off work.
Mo Hong was helping to clear the bowls inside, while Song Yun was directing the staff on the side as they prepared the dumpling filling.
As soon as Xu Guiying appeared, Song Yun immediately said, "Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
Xu Guiying laughed heartily, "I was just passing by and stopped to see you."
Song Yun quickly invited Xu Guiying in to sit down. Xu Guiying's gaze 'naturally' fell on Mo Hong, her eyes showing confusion.
Mo Hong nodded to her. "Hello, I'm Mo Hong."
Song Yun wiped her hands and introduced, "Sister-in-law, this is Mo Hong, he is... my friend."
Xu Guiying sized up the person opposite her. Mo Hong had a resolute and calm face, and rarely smiled. He seemed reliable enough.
Song Yun then said to Mo Hong, "This is my sister-in-law; she works at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Mo Hong hummed in agreement, a slight smile appearing on his face.
Xu Guiying quietly observed the two getting along and thought it seemed alright.
Mo Hong asked Song Yun to sit down and talk, while he went to the backyard to wash the dishes.
Song Yun asked softly, "Sister-in-law, how is it?"
Xu Guiying narrowed her eyes slightly, "You must be busy with work usually."
“He mentioned this as well, and I can accept it. Anyway, Xiaoxiao is all grown up, and I’m busy at the shop, so I don’t have many things to worry about at home.”
Xu Guiying nodded, "I think it's alright, you can get to know it better."
Anyway, he's hundreds of times better than Zhuang Pinghua.
Hearing Xu Guiying say this, Song Yun felt relieved.
"I'll talk to Xiaoxiao about it in a while."
After her daughter nodded, Song Yun took her to meet her parents, older brother, and second older brother.
The shop assistant served dumplings, and Xu Guiying ate a plateful before getting ready to go home.
Mo Hong finished washing the dishes, said goodbye to Xu Guiying, and watched her leave.
Once the person had walked away, Mo Hong smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is satisfied with me, isn't she?"
Song Yun: "..."
Xu Guiying returned to Heping Lane and rode her bicycle to her doorstep when she saw two suspicious figures.
"Song Anmin, Song Jianmin! You two are thieves!"
The third and fifth sons were peeking inside with their butts sticking out when they heard the sound. They immediately looked up, and the third son scratched his head and chuckled, "Mom, you're back."
The fifth child quickly pulled the third child aside, asking, "Mom, are you working overtime today?"
Xu Guiying got off her bicycle, pushed open the gate of the Song family's house, and said, "What does this have to do with you? This is no longer your home. Get the hell out of here!"
Taking advantage of the situation, Song Anmin stood under the eaves and said, "Mom, we haven't been home for a long time. Even if we've separated our households, we can still eat together."
Song Jianmin pressed his advantage, "That's right, Mom~ Mom~~~ Mom Mom Mom~~~~"
Xu Guiying sneered, "What's wrong? You two are almost thirty and you still want to act all cute with your old lady? Song Jianmin, have you no shame? If not, just donate it to the burn unit at the hospital!"
Song Jianmin: "...Mom, even though we've separated the family, please don't say such hurtful things. We're just coming back to see Grandpa and Grandma. There's no law that says we can't visit our elders after we've separated the family. Right, Third Brother?"
Song Anmin nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Mom! They won't let anyone stay in the factory dormitory anymore, so please let me come home~~~~"
Xu Guiying got goosebumps. She looked disgusted and said, "Call your grandparents and ask them if they'll let you in."
Song Anmin thought to himself, "What a wonderful thing!" He propped his head up and called out to Grandpa Song and Grandma Song in the kitchen.
Grandpa Song came out when he heard the noise.
"You mistress, what's wrong with you?! What's going on?!"
"Grandpa, we want to go home for dinner."
"Get out! Get away from me!"
Song Anmin: "..."
Song Jianmin immediately launched another offensive, calling out to Song Yangmin under the eaves, "Second brother, second brother!"
Song Yangmin had already had enough of the pancakes; he held one in his hand for a long time without taking a bite.
He looked up and heard Song Jianmin calling him.
He got up and walked over.
Xu Guiying looked surprised and stopped criticizing the third and fifth brothers. She just watched as Song Yangmin handed the pancake in his hand to the fifth brother.
Song Yangmin only said one word.
"eat."
Song Jianmin looked at the things in his second brother's hands.
The corn tortilla was covered in teeth marks.
Even if they were brothers, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Xu Guiying watched this scene silently.
The fifth brother scratched his head. "Second brother, is there anything else we haven't tried before?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Guiying glared at her.
Song Anmin nudged the fifth brother's arm, and the fifth brother had no choice but to say, "Eat, I'll eat, thank you, second brother."
The fifth brother took the things from Song Yangmin's hands and held the sticky pancakes.
Song Yangmin kept looking at Lao Wu, his face showing that he was waiting for Lao Wu to eat.
Song Jianmin was in a dilemma, unable to bring himself to eat, glancing at his mother and third son's expressions out of the corner of his eye.
Song Jianmin had no choice but to bite off a small piece of the edge.
