There was no rush to cook dinner tonight, as Song Jianmin explained the whole story in detail.
Xu Guiying sensed something was wrong after hearing this and told Song Jianmin to stay away from Yu Fang.
Song Jianmin jumped three steps high, "Mom, why?! I finally made a decent friend!"
Xu Guiying used to say that Lao Wu was just like Lao San, as he associated with all sorts of shady characters. She would scold Lao San and Lao Wu every day, saying they were no good people.
"Yu Fang has a proper job, she's just a bit cold-hearted, why do you want me to stay away from her!"
Xu Guiying frowned. "He doesn't seem like a good person."
This surprised even the Song Xinfu and Song Rongrong sisters.
Really?
"How terrifying does it look?"
How bad is her personality?
Song Jianmin called out "Mom" again!
Xu Guiying's brows remained furrowed, her face still grim. "Shut up, you old hag. In short, if you don't want to be kicked out of the house, you'd better distance yourself from Yu Fang. If I find out, you can pack your things and get out of the house."
Song Jianmin took a deep breath. "Mom! Be reasonable! Yu Fang didn't do anything to you. You're just making assumptions!"
You little brat!
Xu Guiying picked up a broom and started hitting Song Jianmin.
Song Xinfu and his companions quickly moved away.
Song Jianmin ran while pleading his case.
"Mom, if you spend more time with Yu Fang, you'll understand. She's a really good person. Her family has had a tough life; they came from the mountains to work in the capital. It's been a tough journey. Making friends with her gives you more options. Who knows, maybe she'll strike it rich someday—"
Xu Guiying slapped the fifth son hard on the head.
“I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve walked roads! What decent person has eyes as cold as hers? Are you sure her reactions to you are genuine? Fifth son, Mom wouldn’t hurt you.”
After watching for a while, Song Xinfu said, "Fifth brother, your mother has met many people in her life. Don't be naive. Be careful, she might be the next Zhang Qingli."
Song Jianmin muttered, "She and Zhang Qingli are worlds apart."
Xu Guiying slapped Lao Wu across the face with her backhand.
"Song Jianmin, do you still remember that note you wrote?!"
That guarantee from Song Jianmin...
Song Jianmin's expression changed slightly, and he immediately became obsequious. "Mom, I was just joking with you. Okay, then I won't see Yu Fang anymore. I'll do whatever you say."
Xu Guiying stared at him, "Song Jianmin, I'm not joking with you. If you dare to have any more contact with Yu Fang, I'll break your legs and kick you out of the house."
"We've already had experience with separating from the eldest son; next time, we'll just go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Song Jianmin initially held onto a sliver of hope, but now he was truly terrified.
Finally, he reluctantly said "okay".
After being scolded, Song Jianmin went to cook.
Song Rongrong followed her into the kitchen and closed the kitchen door behind her.
"Fifth brother, you really like that Yu Fang, she's very pretty?"
Song Rongrong doesn't say she understands Lao Fifty points, but she certainly understands him Eight Points.
Song Jianmin is all about looks; he insisted on being with Zhang Qingli because of her face.
Song Jianmin frowned, looking rather unhappy.
“Song Rongrong! I told you I don’t like Yu Fang! Her face is just like that. I feel sorry for her. She left her hometown to come to the capital and has no friends.”
Song Rongrong stroked her chin and sized up the fifth brother.
"Song Jianmin, I've noticed you've changed!"
Song Jianmin raised an eyebrow, "What's up? You've gotten more handsome!"
Song Rongrong slapped him across the face and yelled, "Get out!"
Song Jianmin: "..."
"You finally don't seem like an idiot anymore," Song Rongrong added quietly.
Song Jianmin roared, "Song Rongrong, are you sick in the head?!"
Song Rongrong opened the door and went out, returning to her room.
Song Yingying was still reading when she said, "Oh, right, Fourth Sister, Qin Zheng asked me to go out tomorrow. Let's go together."
Song Rongrong is no longer interning at the newspaper. She has been getting used to the overseas courses and reading foreign language textbooks these past few days.
"Sure."
That evening, Song Xinfu questioned Xu Guiying in detail.
"That Yu Fang, is she really up to something?"
Xu Guiying clicked her tongue, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just feels lifeless. It's not like Qin Zheng's aloofness, it's just weird."
Song Xinfu swallowed hard, recalling the woman he had seen that night when he fell down.
He frowned. "Is he tall and thin, with fair skin, side-swept bangs, and long, straight hair?"
Xu Guiying frowned and hummed in agreement.
How did you know?
Song Xinfu slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That night when I fell and said I sang terribly, it was this outfit I was wearing!"
Xu Guiying: "That's not necessarily true. The place where you fell is more than half an hour away from the Fourth Military Hospital, and it's not even in the same direction as the Fifth Factory."
The place where Lao Wu works is close to the vegetable market where Yu Fang kills chickens.
Song Xinfu was also unsure.
"How about we go to the market after get off work tomorrow?"
If it's the same person, then Yu Fang is indeed quite abnormal.
Even now, Song Xinfu gets goosebumps when he thinks about Yu Fang's face and eyes that night.
Xu Guiying felt heavy-hearted. After soaking her feet, she called Song Jianmin in to bring in water and then took it out to pour it out.
The elderly couple went to sleep tonight with heavy and complicated feelings.
That little rascal, the fifth brother, is always causing trouble for the family.
The Qin family's car arrived early the next morning.
Qin Zheng was in the car when Song Yingying actually called Song Rongrong over.
Qin Zheng casually opened the car door and got out, then stood there without moving. "Rongrong is here too."
Song Rongrong's heart stirred slightly. Qin Zheng was quite arrogant; he had never called her "sister" before.
Song Yingying: "I'll sit in the front, sis, you sit in the back."
Song Rongrong: "No need, I'll just sit in the front."
Song Yingying had already boarded the bus.
Having no other choice, Song Rongrong got into the back seat and sat next to Qin Zheng.
