Meanwhile, in the eldest son's house.
The family of four was having dinner when they started arguing in the evening. Yan Yan and Lele were playing by themselves in the yard.
Outside the gate, everyone passing by was talking about what happened that afternoon.
They say the eldest son and his wife are no good; birds of a feather flock together.
Some people even spit and litter at their front door.
Liu Aimei burst into tears. In the past, they would always argue behind closed doors at the Song family's house. Today, Liu Aimei had completely lost face, and she could imagine how those people would curse her in the future.
Song Guomin's face was covered in handprints; they definitely wouldn't disappear by the time he went to work tomorrow.
Liu Aimei cried and said, "Why don't we move back to the new house?"
Song Guomin was not in a good mood. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
After finishing his meal, Song Guomin stayed in the courtyard for a long time before going to sleep.
The next morning, Song Guomin went to work.
As he passed the duty room, the duty officer gave Song Guomin a disdainful look.
We're all parents, and the thought of our kids growing up to be like Song Guomin makes us want to strangle them on the spot.
These kinds of people are born to collect debts.
There's a pregnant woman in Heping Lane who saw the Song family arguing yesterday, and she's too scared to have the baby now.
Song Guomin looked embarrassed and quickened his pace out of the alley. When he went to buy breakfast, Granny Guo, who sold tea eggs, simply said that she would not sell them to Song Guomin and his wife.
"I'm not doing business with you two. Go buy it elsewhere."
Previously, when Grandma Guo's house collapsed and needed to be rebuilt, but she didn't have enough money, Song Xinfu took the initiative to lend her 100 yuan to repair the house. After setting up a stall for several years, Grandma Guo also paid back the money to the Song family.
In the past, when Song Guomin came to eat breakfast, Grandma Guo would always choose the best eggs for him.
We're no longer doing business with Song Guomin.
Someone glanced at Song Guomin, rolled their eyes, and said, "The air stinks."
Song Guomin quietly crossed a street before finally buying breakfast.
I went to the bank today. The new boss was annoyed by Song Guomin's appearance and gave him more work.

Xu Guiying still remembered Qian Yu'an's matter.
After get off work, I left the supply and marketing cooperative and went to Aiguo Street.
She went through every shop she could find today, but still couldn't find Qian Yu'an. How strange.
There's only one Patriotic Street in the city. Could it be that her grandmother remembered it wrong?
Xu Guiying was resting outside the last shop when she heard people talking inside.
"Yu'an's cold is still not better. She has already taken two days off this month. I don't know if she will come tomorrow."
Xu Guiying quickly got up and went into the shop. "Hello, does Qian Yu'an work here?"
There were only two shop assistants in the shop. One of them, a tall man, nodded. "Who are you?"
“I know Qian Yu’an’s grandma. She asked me to come and see Qian Yu’an, saying that she works on this street. I’ve searched all over the street but haven’t seen Qian Yu’an. Young lady, do you know where Qian Yu’an lives? I’d like to go and see her.”
The two shop assistants sized up Xu Guiying.
“Auntie, we don’t know exactly where Qian Yu’an lives. She’s had a cold these past few days. Why don’t you come and see her tomorrow afternoon?”
Xu Guiying nodded and said with a smile, "That's fine, thank you."
Xu Guiying returned home tonight, and she was visibly in a good mood.
Mom was in a good mood, and the weather was clear and pleasant at the Song family home.
My mom was in a bad mood, and the whole family was in a terrible mood.
Song Jianmin is cooking tonight; he still hasn't gotten his money back. The Zhang family's skin is thicker than a city wall.
"Mom, that's eighty yuan! If I can't get it back, it'll be the death of me!"
Xu Guiying asked, "You've been to the auto repair shop?"
Upon hearing this, Song Jianmin immediately stood up and said, "I understand!"
Xu Guiying frowned as she looked at Song Jianmin's confident expression: "Don't do anything reckless. This is just to intimidate Zhang Qingli. Zhang Qingli wants to marry Che Xiuwen, so she definitely wants to resolve your matter. But even a cornered dog will jump over the wall. Don't be too aggressive."
Song Jianmin: "Mom, I know, don't worry."

The next day, Xu Guiying changed into some old clothes and went to work. After get off work, she went to the shop from the day before and, sure enough, saw Qian Yu'an there.
Qian Yu'an is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and her face is so tender it looks like you could pinch water out of it.
The difference between her appearance and the last time Xu Guiying saw her in her previous life was like night and day.
Xu Guiying stood nearby for a while, and only went over to Qian Yu'an after he got off work.
Xu Guiying sat on a roadside chair, clutching her foot and crying out, "Ouch, my foot! My foot hurts so much, I can't walk anymore."
Qian Yu'an did indeed stop.
"Auntie, did you twist your ankle? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
"I twisted my ankle." Xu Guiying pretended to look up and exclaimed, "Are you Yu'an? Aren't you Qian Tao's aunt?"
Qian Yu'an froze, looking utterly astonished.
Although she hasn't heard much about human traffickers lately, Qian Yu'an remains vigilant.
"You know me?"
Xu Guiying slapped her thigh and beamed with joy.
"It really was you!"
Qian Yu'an was even more bewildered. She was beautiful. If those messy things hadn't happened in her previous life, she and her second son wouldn't have been living a life of hard labor in the fields.
“I visited your village a few days ago, but I got lost! Your grandma took me to your house for a meal and said that she has a granddaughter who works on Aiguo Street. I thought you and Tao Tao looked alike, so I asked her about it, and it turned out to be you!”
Upon hearing this, Qian Yu'an's vigilance eased slightly, realizing that Tao Tao and Biandan Village were probably not human traffickers.
Xu Guiying looked at Qian Yu'an, "Your grandmother asked me to ask you if you've been very busy since you haven't come home this month."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yu'an frowned slightly. "I was a bit busy the past few days, and I caught a cold these past two days. I'll go home next time I have time off."
