Xu Guiying started by chatting, talking about her work and then about Song Xinfu and Song Yangmin.
"This is my second son. He usually stays in the army canteen and is considered a half-soldier. When he is conscripted, he will go to the battlefield. He occasionally stays at the army base, and he can go home unless there is a major incident."
Old Mrs. Qian believed her second son's words because she saw that he was upright.
Qian Tao poured water for the two of them.
"Drink water."
Xu Guiying smiled and said, "This must be your great-granddaughter."
Old Mrs. Qian then started talking, "She's my eldest grandson's daughter, his only one."
Song Yangmin said, "He's the only son in the family."
Old Mrs. Qian clicked her tongue, "And she has a little granddaughter who sells clothes in the city, earning fifteen yuan a month!"
Xu Guiying was unaware of this. When she met Qian Yu'an, she secretly resented the Qian family for ruining her second son and had no interest in finding out what kind of work Qian Yu'an had done before.
Xu Guiying assumed that Qian Yu'an would stay in Biandan Village.
Xu Guiying exclaimed in surprise, "That's amazing! Where in the city can you buy clothes like that?"
Old Mrs. Qian had also visited her granddaughter once. "Anyway, it was in a shop called Aiguo Street! Yes, a shop on Aiguo Street. The proprietress even provided her with food and lodging!"
Xu Guiying nodded and didn't ask any more questions, as asking any more would arouse suspicion.
Old Mrs. Qian and Qian Tao usually just eat porridge at home, but today when Xu Guiying and the others came, they added more water to the rice.
Xu Guiying pretended not to see anything. She went to help Old Lady Qian prepare the vegetables and asked her second son to tend the fire in front of the stove.
For lunch, we had congee and stir-fried cabbage.
After finishing their meal, Xu Guiying and her second son planned to leave. Fearing that his wife would not accept it in person, Xu Guiying put a dollar under the bowl to weigh it down.
Xu Guiying was in high spirits after leaving Biandan Village.
This trip was worthwhile; one-third of the second son's marriage has been settled!
Anyway, Qian Yu'an liked the second son's face in her previous life. After Xu Guiying finds Qian Yu'an, she can let the two younger ones get to know each other!
Xu Guiying and her second son returned to the city and went straight to Aiguo Street. They searched for clothing shops along the way but couldn't find Qian Yu'an.
Xu Guiying was not discouraged and planned to come again tomorrow.
Song Yangmin asked all the way, "Mom, what exactly are you going to do? Are you looking for Granny Qian's granddaughter?"
Xu Guiying glanced at the second son, "You're smart this time. I thought you were going to be guessing for three days and three nights!"
Song Yangmin: "Mom, why do you have to be so roundabout in your insults?"
Xu Guiying's lips twitched slightly. "Let's go home!"
This delay meant it was past seven o'clock when we got back, and it was already dark. It was just in time to go back and have dinner!
