It was noon when Song Xinfu and his companion arrived.
The elderly couple from the Song family were sunbathing in their courtyard.
"Big brother, what brings you here? The mistress just came by, and she was in such a hurry to leave that she didn't even stay for lunch." Old Mrs. Song was preparing the chives.
As soon as Xu Guiying got out of the car, she asked, "Mom and Dad, what brings our third son here?"
Grandpa Song fanned himself with a palm leaf fan and said, "They said the passbooks were old and needed to be replaced with new ones, so Xiao San went to replace them for us."
Xu Guiying was horrified when she heard this, but she didn't want to tell the old couple and scare them.
When did he leave?
Grandpa Song: "Just half an hour ago."
"Dad, don't drink today. Be careful when you walk outside, don't fall. Mom, you too, don't go to work after dark."
Grandma Song: "Guiying, what happened?"
Xu Guiying instructed Grandma Song to keep an eye on the old man and make sure he stayed home today.
Seeing how nervous their eldest daughter-in-law was, the elderly couple, being somewhat superstitious, agreed.
Xu Guiying didn't have time to say more to them. She grabbed Song Xinfu and said, "Hurry up, let's catch up with the third brother."
The old man stood up. "Xinfu, you two stay for lunch. We'll make dumplings."
"Mom and Dad, it's too late. We have to leave now and come back to see you in a few days."
Hearing Xu Guiying's words, Song Xinfu said, "Mom and Dad, we're leaving now."
Watching the two leave in a hurry, the old man frowned, "What exactly is the mistress going to do with the bankbook?"
Grandma Song finally realized what was going on. "The third brother said the passbook was worn out and he went to get us a new one. He'll return it tomorrow."
The old man felt that things weren't that simple.
Grandma Song: "Don't worry, Xinfu and Guiying have both gone, so there won't be any problems."
Xu Guiying and Song Anmin went home first, but Song Anmin did not return. They then went to a nearby bank, but no one was there either.
Xu Guiying told Song Xinfu to wait outside the bank while she went to the brewery.
After Xu Guiying registered her identity, she was able to enter. She went directly to the factory dormitory, where Song Anmin usually stayed if he wasn't going home.
Xu Guiying grabbed a person staying downstairs in the dormitory and asked, "Do you know Song Anmin? I'm his mother, and I've come to deliver something to him."
The residents of this small building are all people who have only recently started working, and everyone knows each other.
“Song Anmin just went to the workshop. His room is 305. You can just put it in the room.”
Xu Guiying smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, young man."
Xu Guiying turned and left, her face dark, and went straight up to the third floor. The door to the room was only slightly ajar. Only Song Anmin lived in the room; the other bed was empty.
Song Anmin's bed was in a mess, with clothes and pants scattered around.
Xu Guiying first searched her clothes and pockets but couldn't find it. Then she went to the cabinet, which was locked. Xu Guiying found a knife in the storage room at the end of the third floor and chopped the lock open.
Sure enough, they found the passbook inside.
Fortunately, the money on it hadn't been taken yet.
Song Anmin could only ask for half a day off; if he asked for a full day off, he would be penalized. Song Anmin originally planned to sneak into the bank to withdraw money in the afternoon, but as soon as he returned to the dormitory, it looked like it had been robbed.
Song Anmin's face turned pale. He went to the cabinet and found that the passbook was gone!
Who stole his money!
Song Anmin clenched his fists in anger. He pushed open the door and went out, where he ran into another person.
"Comrade Song, your mother has passed away? It's good to live nearby; you can send things anytime."
"What? My mom came?"
"Yes, didn't your mom come to bring you something?"
Song Anmin's anger immediately subsided.
What should we do? What should we do?
His mother will definitely kill him!
Song Anmin was extremely anxious and dared not go home, so he dawdled in his dormitory all day.
On the other side.
Xu Guiying took the passbook to meet with Song Xinfu.
Song Xinfu was completely baffled that his third son had actually taken the bankbook. "What is my third son going to do with so much money?!"
"What are you doing? It's all for that shady business of speculation and profiteering. None of the Song family's offspring are good; they're all crooked and deformed!"
The third brother has a few cronies who recently said they want to set up a stall together to sell silk scarves. They claim the scarves are imported from Hong Kong. In his previous life, the third brother invested 500 yuan in them, but they were arrested on the first day of the stall because the scarves were said to be counterfeit and the fabric did not meet the standards.
The third brother was given a warning and a lecture for spending 500 yuan on invoices.
Xu Guiying was furious and hit Song Xinfu several times to vent her anger.
“Let’s go back and pay the money back to Mom and Dad.”
"I'll go back and settle accounts with Song Anmin tonight."
The elderly couple went and returned in a hurry. Fortunately, they had both taken the day off and had dinner at Grandpa Song's house before returning to Heping Lane.
Liu Hongmei returned home tonight with her two children, but to her surprise, the house was cold and quiet, with not even a cup of hot water.
Liu Aimei: "Your mother was hoping I wouldn't come back. Now she doesn't even want her grandchildren anymore. When I come back, the house is cold and there's no hot meal. I might as well just go back to my parents' house!"
Song Guomin told Liu Aimei about what happened yesterday.
Liu Aimei's eyes widened in shock, especially when she heard that Zhang Qingli was asking for a bride price of 800 yuan. Liu Aimei almost jumped up!
"Why? I only asked for 700 yuan as a bride price when I married you, but why does that little vixen Zhang Qingli want 800 yuan? Is she a fairy inlaid with gold in heaven?"
Song Guomin clicked his tongue, "The marriage is off now, Mom doesn't agree, and Li Xiaozhi almost bullied Yingying yesterday, so this won't happen!"
