At six o'clock the next day, Song Jianmin got up, changed his clothes, told Lao San that he was leaving first, and disappeared.
Song Anmin: "..."
Song Jianmin arrived at Chen Zhou's doorstep.
It's early now, and there aren't many people in the alley yet.
The door to Chen Zhou's house was already open, with a small gap left between it and the door.
Song Jianmin knocked, then opened the door. Inside, Chen Zhou had already finished packing.
"You've arrived. Let's go."
Chen Zhou came out carrying a bag containing yesterday's jacket and hood.
Song Jianmin took her bag, stuffed it into his own, then carried it on his back. He glanced at Chen Zhou and said, "Let's go."
After leaving Heping Lane, they bought breakfast at the entrance of the lane and then took a bus to the Chen family's building.
It's only a little past seven o'clock.
Song Jianmin told Chen Zhou to wait for him downstairs while he went upstairs to check on the situation.
Be careful.
"Don't worry, it's only on the third floor."
Song Jianmin quickly went up and came down.
"They're still having breakfast, please wait patiently."
The two sat by the flower bed from the previous night, and Song Jianmin held Chen Zhou's hand again.
Their fingers are intertwined.
Song Jianmin held up Chen Zhou's hand to look at it.
It's so small, it can be wrapped in the palm of your hand.
Chen Zhou bit her lip. "Haven't you seen enough yet?"
Song Jianmin: "What do you know? I'll show you."
Song Jianmin held his hand up in front of her.
Chen Zhou: "I won't watch it."
Song Jianmin narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why don't you look?"
Chen Zhou: "I just don't want to watch it. What's so interesting about it?"
Song Jianmin scoffed, "Then I'll watch yours."
Chen Zhou didn't want to talk to this childish person anymore.
The two waited patiently, and about half an hour later, the Chen family members came down.
Chen Qing and his wife took Chen Jiamu downstairs and walked outside.
Song Jianmin and Chen Zhou were wearing light jackets, masks, and hats. They walked hand in hand, leisurely. Apart from their somewhat strange attire, there was nothing suspicious about them.
The Chen family didn't even notice them. They were preparing to take a bus to Chuanfu Town. The three of them looked very bad and didn't realize that Song Jianmin and Chen Zhou had boarded the bus after them and were sitting in the second to last row.
It takes about forty minutes to drive there.
Upon arriving at the station and getting off the train, Chen Zhou and his companion continued to follow behind the Chen family.
They followed them into the Chuanfu Town Health Center.
Shortly after they went inside, another person arrived on a bicycle.
Liu Aimei parked her bicycle in the health center's parking lot, locked it, and went to the ward where Old Lady Xiong was staying.
...
After Song Jianmin and his group arrived on the third floor, they hid in a corner of the stairs.
Through the gap in the railing, Chen Zhou saw Chen Qing and the other two enter the ward.
But just then, Song Jianmin glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and his expression immediately froze. Why was Liu Aimei here?
Song Jianmin deliberately stuck one foot forward.
Chen Zhou looked at him with a puzzled expression, and following his gaze, he saw a woman standing on the stairs...
Chen Zhou had no recollection of Liu Aimei and did not know her.
Song Jianmin made a shushing gesture at her.
Chen Zhou nodded.
Keep reading.
Liu Aimei paused for a moment, then continued upstairs. The corner of the stairs was the best place to eavesdrop; otherwise, she could only go to the other side.
Liu Aimei rolled her eyes at Song Jianmin.
He muttered to himself, "What are you doing sitting there? Going to hang yourself?"
Song Jianmin kept his eyes fixed on Liu Aimei's back.
Liu Aimei went to another corner of the staircase...
Immediately afterwards, a hoarse female voice suddenly came from the ward.
"Only seven hundred?" the woman's voice boomed. "I said I wanted eight hundred! Not a penny less!"
Last night, Mi Xiuhua went back to her parents' home and only managed to borrow 100 yuan.
We raised a total of seven hundred, but we really couldn't raise eight hundred.
Chen Qing said in a humble voice, "Please be lenient, there really isn't much more."
Suddenly, the group left the ward.
When Song Jianmin looked at Xiong Jing's gaunt and aged face, he instantly understood why Liu Aimei was there...
Having dealt with Xiong Jing several times before, Song Jianmin had a vivid memory of her face.
It seems Chen Jiamu injured Old Lady Xiong's eye...
After going around in circles, it turns out they're all old acquaintances!
Chen Zhou tugged at Song Jianmin's sleeve. "What's wrong?"
Song Jianmin and Chen Zhou whispered, "That woman who just passed by is my former sister-in-law, Liu Aimei. The person Chen Jiamu injured was Liu Aimei's aunt. Did you see that woman? Her name is Xiong Jing. She's the wife of my third aunt's ex-husband who's in prison. They should be divorced, right? She should be his ex-wife..."
