Days passed by, and by the end of November, the weather turned cold overnight.
Song Yun's small shop has also opened, and business is pretty good. It's not as tiring as the farm work she used to do in Zhaoyuan Village. She can earn more than 30 yuan a month, which is enough for her to support her daughter.
There are rooms behind the shop where they can sleep; the mother and daughter each have their own room, and there's also a small kitchen.
Song Yun also bought Zhuang Xiaoxiao a second-hand desk. The study and living environment was several times better than at Zhuang's house. When the mother and daughter had free time, they would go to Song Xinfu's house for meals.
The third son still came to the Song family every day with great enthusiasm.
Xu Guiying and Song Xinfu discussed it and decided that when they had time in November, they would take their eldest and third sons to completely separate their household registrations, which would be considered as dividing the family property.
Anyway, the couple has already given their eldest and youngest children almost everything they could; they have nothing left to share with them.
The fifth brother was sweeping the floor in the main room when he heard this and was completely stunned.
Are we going to split up the family business with the eldest and third sons?
The fifth brother finished sweeping the floor absentmindedly, then went to empty the trash can outside the Song family's house. After waiting for a while, he finally saw the third brother's figure appear at the entrance of the alley!
Damn it, it's finally here!
The fifth brother grabbed a broom and rushed forward.
The third brother jumped in fright, "Fifth brother, what are you doing? Are you going to hit someone?!"
The fifth brother clicked his tongue, "Is this about fighting?! Something terrible has happened!"
The third brother frowned. "What's wrong?"
The fifth brother solemnly recounted his parents' plan to separate the family property. The third brother's eyes visibly widened as he stared at the fifth brother in disbelief.
"What?! My parents really don't want me anymore?!"
The fifth brother cried out in anguish, "Third brother, I told you long ago, you shouldn't have spoken up for Jiang Hong! Now look what's happened! Mom and Dad are about to kick you out!"
The third son, his face dark, said, "Song Jianmin, don't give me hindsight advice. I still remember how you and Zhang Qingli upset Mom. Why did Mom let you come home?!"
The third brother practically gritted his teeth as he finished speaking!
Song Jianmin said expressionlessly, "...Third Brother, now it's your turn to ask me for a favor."
Song Anmin gritted his teeth, squinted, and plopped down at the entrance of the alley, thinking of a solution.
The fifth brother sighed, "Third brother, this is fate!"
Song Anmin: "Get out."
"Third brother, why don't you go back to the factory and stay there for a while? Don't come home for now. Mom and Dad need to separate their households, so you have to be there. If you're not there, how can they separate the households? Maybe if you play the victim a bit, Mom and Dad will let you come home."
Song Anmin wasn't so optimistic.
However, what the fifth brother said does make sense. If he stays away for a few days, his parents won't remember about separating the family if they don't see him.
The third brother had no choice but to return to the factory first.
The fifth son came home with a broom and saw his mother standing behind the door.
"Hey, Song Jianmin, you've tipped us off, haven't you?"
Song Jianmin gave an embarrassed smile, "Mom, no, I'm just going to take out the trash."
"You've been taking out the trash for twenty minutes? You went to the Zhang family's house to take out the trash, didn't you?"
Speaking of the Zhang family, Song Jianmin felt heartbroken!
He still hasn't gotten his money back!
Song Jianmin let out a heavy sigh, then smiled and said, "Mom, what would you like to eat tomorrow night? I'll make it."
Xu Guiying: "Let's stew a chicken. Rongrong and the others have been studying hard lately."
Song Jianmin: "...Okay."
Xu Guiying went back to her room, where Song Xinfu had already gone to bed. She couldn't help but say, "Fifth Brother is still useful after coming home."
Xu Guiying hummed in agreement, "Otherwise, why would I have him come back?!"
It was December 5th.
Song Anmin hasn't been home for seven or eight days, and no one knows what's going on with him now.
He finished work absentmindedly and returned to his dormitory, where he remembered his mother coming to collect his savings book.
Looking back now, Song Anmin feels like slapping himself twice.
How could he do something like swindling money from his grandparents?
Song Anmin frowned deeply, unable to stop thinking about Jiang Hong.
The Jiang family wasn't satisfied with just harming Grandpa; Jiang Hong even sent people to raid their home and rob Mom!
Grandpa told him to stay away from Jiang Hong, but now look what happened, he didn't listen to advice and even got kicked out by his mom.
Song Anmin could only blame himself for being stupid!
You can't blame anyone else.
Song Anmin changed his clothes and went out. He went to the police station, gave his name, and couldn't help but ask where the casino where Jiang Hong was arrested was.
"It's right outside Baoguo Temple in the south of the city. There are not only casinos there, but also dance halls."
Song Anmin froze. "What?! Outside Baoguo Temple?"
"Yes, your family all know, but you don't?"
Song Anmin felt deceived like never before; Jiang Hong told him she worked in a respectable place...
Song Anmin swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Hong wouldn't be working in a nightclub, would she?"
The police officer grunted, "Who are you to Jiang Hong? Why are you asking so many questions?"
Song Anmin twitched his lips. "Didn't this almost ruin our family? I just wanted to ask a few more questions."
Feeling as if struck by lightning, Song Anmin left the police station absentmindedly, turning right to return to his home and left to return to the factory.
Song Anmin bought a steamed bun outside the police station, but eventually returned to the factory.
I never expected to see Old Man Jiang and Sun Xiangxing outside!
"Song Anmin, stop right there!"
Song Anmin was furious and was looking for someone to vent his anger on. He sneered, "If I hadn't come looking for you, you would still have the nerve to come here?"
Sun Xiangxing and Old Man Jiang exchanged a glance.
Sun Xiangxing immediately lashed out at Song Anmin, "Song Anmin, you were with our Honghong, you ruined her reputation, and now she's in jail because of you! You have to take responsibility for us!"
