Li Xia observed Liu Laoniang for three or four days and felt that the old woman had become much quieter than before.
Even when she was cursing Xiong Jing, the old woman ignored her.
Could that man really be her old flame?
Li Xia has been keeping a close eye on the movements outside the Liu family's house these past few days, and spends most of her time in the yard.
Xiong Jing thought Li Xia was going to find fault with her again.
On January 22nd, someone knocked on the Liu family's door again.
Old Lady Liu rushed out of the kitchen as quickly as possible and opened the front door.
Li Xia silently observed from under the eaves, then casually walked to the direction directly opposite the gate.
really!
It's that old flame!
Old Lady Liu then dragged the person out.
Li Xia was sweeping the yard with a broom.
I heard the word 'money' again this time.
Old Lady Liu lowered her voice and said, "I have no money. I don't manage the money in this house!"
“He Shuqiong, I can understand others, but do you think I don’t know? With your personality, you wouldn’t be stingy with money! I’m short on cash lately, and you’re the only person I know in the city, so just give me ten yuan.”
"I have no money!" Old Lady Liu insisted on saying this.
Zhao Qiang chuckled, "If you have no money, then I'll go find your man. Your son must have money too."
Zhao Qiang has thoroughly investigated the Liu family over the past few days.
There were allegations of Xiong Jing having an affair with a married man, Zhuang Pinghua and Xiong Shugen committing robbery and theft... and He Shuqiong's daughter Liu Aimei being a mistress and breaking up families...
The neighbors all say that the Liu family is like a crooked beam, with the lower beams following suit.
Neither of them is normal.
Li Xia, the eldest son who used to have the worst temper and loved to cause trouble, is now one of the few normal people.
Zhao Qiang was urging them again.
Old Lady Liu glared at him angrily, "I've already said I have no money! No matter how many times you ask me, I have no money. Say whatever you want, whatever! Everyone has been in a relationship before."
Just then, Xiong Jing came out carrying a basket of garbage.
Then you see Old Lady Liu and Zhao Qiang standing face to face.
Xiong Jing immediately saw Zhao Qiang's face.
What are you doing here?!
Old Lady Liu's eyes widened in surprise. "You two know each other???"
Zhao Qiang narrowed his eyes, his expression unfriendly. "Who are you to her?"
Li Xia hid behind a doorpost, peering out through the gaps between the bricks in the wall.
Old Lady Liu blocked Xiong Jing's way, pushed Zhao Qiang out, and urged Xiong Jing to go back inside!
Zhao Qiang stared at Xiong Jing's face.
Why does it feel so familiar...?
Old Lady Liu was still in shock. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm telling you, I have no money, but you can take my life. Get out of here right now!"
Zhao Qiang looked away thoughtfully, but still refused to leave.
The two remained locked in a stalemate outside Liu's house. People passing by looked at Liu's mother and asked who she was.
Old Lady Liu claimed that everyone was a relative from her maternal family.
Finally, having no other choice, Old Lady Liu gave Zhao Qiang two or three yuan.
"That's all I have! I'm out! Let's get going!"
Zhao Qiang pocketed the money, got on his bicycle, and left.
Back in the courtyard, Old Lady Liu quickly asked Xiong Jing, "How do you recognize him???"
Li Xia continued eating sunflower seeds.
Xiong Jing asked, completely bewildered, "It's the guy who chased me on my bike last time! Auntie, do you know him?"
Xiong Jing looked somewhat disgusted. "Last time, he was the one who pushed me to the ground, and my knees were bruised for days."
Old Lady Liu never expected it to be Zhao Qiang!
Li Xia listened in silence.
He was figuring out how to expose the truth.
When my father-in-law finds out, he'll kick Old Lady Xiong and Xiong Jing out!
Old Lady Liu held back her words and kept quiet until evening. After Old Lady Xiong returned, the two old friends went for a walk after dinner and didn't come back for more than an hour.
Zhao Qiang has been silent for so many years, but now he's shown up!
She's my nemesis! I'm deliberately trying to cause her trouble!
...
At the same time, Song Yangmin began to remember things from the past.
Since Phoenix Pavilion opened, Song Yangmin has been taken to the store by Grandma Song from time to time. They often walk around outside, and Song Yangmin occasionally stops and says to Grandma Song that he seems to have been to this place before.
Xu Guiying and Song Xinfu both suppressed their excitement.
Song Yangmin's memory is returning more and more frequently.
Sometimes, standing in my room, I'll remember that three people once lived here.
Gradually, he remembered the faces of the third and fifth brothers, and could even accurately say their names.
The Song brothers were overjoyed.
A few days before Lunar New Year's Eve, Song Yangmin's former comrades-in-arms came to visit him in Heping Lane.
Song Yangmin also remembered the names of the other party one by one, and the faces and names matched perfectly.
Xu Guiying wiped her eyes happily.
May you have a good year.
Now that Qian Yu'an is on winter vacation, Song Yangmin occasionally goes to the bookstore where Qian Yu'an works to wait for her. Grandma Song no longer needs to go out with Song Yangmin.
Qian Yu'an still couldn't bear to eat out, so she would occasionally bring Song Yangmin back to her home for a meal.
Ever since that kiss, Song Yangmin has been hooked and can't stop thinking about it whenever he goes to Qian Yu'an's house.
Qian Yu'an was conservative and strictly forbade it; at most... at most, only one kiss was allowed!
It's just lips touching lips, nothing more.
Song Yangmin did indeed do as he promised.
They didn't tell the Song family.
The Song family was filled with joy.
Xu Guiying had privately discussed with Song Xinfu that once the second son's condition fully improved next year, they would talk to the Qian family about their marriage.
Since the second son returned home in a daze, Qian Yu'an has been by his side. The two of them are also willing to be together, and now they are just waiting for the second son to fully recover.
Two days before Lunar New Year's Eve, Song Yingying and Qin Zheng both returned to China.
