Upon hearing this, Sangshen suddenly looked up: "Wang Yuelong has been arrested?"
Grandpa Sang's face was serious: "Yes, it was quite a commotion!" He said while observing Mulberry's expression.
Sangshen didn't intend to hide it from her grandfather, but asked, "When did this happen?"
Grandpa Sang's old eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Seven days ago!"
Just as Sang Shen was about to say something, footsteps came from the stairwell. It was Bu Ling, and his attention was immediately diverted: "Lingling, you're awake? Come quick, Aunt Fang made wontons!"
Buling turned her head from the dining table and headed towards the kitchen, saying as she went, "Aunt Fang, do you still have wontons?"
"Yes! Yes!" Aunt Fang answered loudly.
A moment later, Buling sat down next to Sangshen with a bowl of wontons and greeted Grandpa Sang: "Good morning, Grandpa!"
"Good, good, good." Grandpa Sang looked at his two young children eating with their heads down across from him, feeling extremely satisfied.
Eating a bowl of hot wontons early in the morning made me feel so comfortable. After finishing one bowl, Buling didn't hesitate to have another one.
Grandpa Sang watched with a smile. When Buling put down her bowl, he asked, "Granddaughter-in-law, are you full? Would you like another bowl? There's more."
Buling shook her head and said obediently, "No, Grandpa, I'm full."
Grandpa Sang then looked at Sang Shen and said, "Xiao Qi, you eat it all. We'll have Aunt Fang cook something delicious for you at noon."
Sangshen silently filled another bowl, sat down, and asked while eating, "By the way, Grandpa, you weren't finished talking about Wang Yuelong."
Bling silently pricked up his ears.
Grandpa Sang said innocently, "I'm done talking. Both Wang Yuelong and his sister have been arrested, and the man surnamed Shen has also been locked up."
Knowing that Wang Yuelong and his sister had met with misfortune also resolved a long-standing question for Sangshen: why hadn't his brother told him that his aunt wasn't seriously injured?
It turned out that the purpose was to send him and Lingling away, and since his aunt happened to be hospitalized, they used his aunt as an excuse.
Bu Ling also lowered her head in thought. After a while, she looked up and asked, "Grandpa, do you know anything about the news from Gu County?"
Grandpa Sang nodded: "With your brother here, aren't you worried?"
Mulberry replied without hesitation, "I believe you! Of course I believe you, I'm just curious!"
Grandpa Sang nodded at him lightly: "Everything's fine in Gu County now. There was some chaos for two days when Wang Yuelong was arrested, but Xiao Si is resourceful, so nothing major happened."
Mulberry said "Oh" and then fell silent.
At noon, the meal was indeed very plentiful. Aunt Fang's cooking skills were superb, and Bu Ling ate with gusto, her mouth greasy and unable to stop.
In the afternoon, when the sun was shining brightly, Buling and Sangshen accompanied Grandpa Sang for a stroll in the courtyard.
They bumped into countless old men along the way, who boasted about their achievements time and time again, until both of them were laughing so hard their faces were stiff.
That evening, after dinner, Sangshen said, "Grandpa, Lingling and I are going back tomorrow."
Grandpa Sang paused in his porridge-drinking motion, then immediately said nonchalantly, "Alright, it's time to go back."
Buling saw the reluctance hidden in the old man's eyes, nudged Sangshen, and Sangshen immediately understood: "Grandpa, would you like to come with me to Gu County for a while? I have a house there."
Grandpa Sang was very tempted by the idea, but after hesitating for a while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's too much trouble."
Sangshen advised, "What's the trouble? It's no trouble at all. Just come and take care of the rest."
Grandpa Sang shook his head again: "No, I'm too old to move around. I'll just wait here for you to come back."
Sangshen wanted to persuade him further, but Grandpa Sang waved his hand, "No need to persuade me anymore, I'm tired, I'm going back to rest."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room, his refusal quite obvious.
Sangshen watched his retreating figure and sighed softly. She didn't say anything more and lowered her head to continue eating.
After a long pause, he mumbled, "Grandpa did it for us."
Bu Ling understood his meaning. It was a turbulent time, and the descendants of the Sang family were scattered in various places. However, someone needed to keep a close eye on the situation in Kyoto in order to make the most correct judgment.
That's why Grandpa Sang refused to leave; otherwise, how much trouble could it be to go out?
Bling patted him on the back: "It'll be alright."
Mulberry gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything more.
They had to get up early to catch the train the next morning, so after breakfast, Buling and Sangshen went to bed early.
The next morning, Uncle Lin drove Bu Ling and Sang Shen to the train station. During this time, Grandpa Sang did not appear.
It wasn't until the car started moving that Sangshen and Buling turned around. Grandpa Sang was standing at the door watching them go. The moment Sangshen saw the old man, she couldn't help but tear up.
Bling held his hand without saying a word.
It wasn't until they boarded the train that Sangshen's mood calmed down. "Lingling, we should come back to see Grandpa more often in the future."
Bu Ling nodded slowly: "Okay, it's not far anyway, we'll come back once a month from now on." It'll just be a bit of a hassle.
Sangshen looked at Buling with indescribable emotion. He knew that Buling liked comfort and hated trouble, but Buling was willing to cause trouble every month for him. How could he not move?
Feeling the sticky look in Mulberry's eyes, Bu Ling touched her arm without making a sound. This person is so disgusting!
The train stopped, and Sangshen, holding Buling's hand and carrying her suitcase, stepped off the train and off the platform with swift steps.
Then I went to the waiting room to get my bicycle and rode Bling towards the courtyard.
This time, the two returned the same way they left, without carrying anything extra.
So when Aunt Lan, who was washing clothes in the yard, saw the two of them return, her eyes, which had been bright, dimmed again.
Amused, Bu Ling watched her movements and asked, "Aunt Lan, are you healed?"
Aunt Lan glared at her fiercely, then turned around with the basin and changed the direction to wash the clothes.
Bling now disliked the old woman quite a bit and was too lazy to waste words with her, so she said to Sangs, "Let's go back inside."
Sangshen nodded, not even glancing at Aunt Lan, and followed Buling back into the house.
After returning to the house, the two cleaned it thoroughly, and during this time, they went in and out without paying any attention to Aunt Lan.
To be honest, Aunt Lan was also manipulated, but she did cause a death. Whenever Bu Ling sees her, she can't help but think of Grandma Zheng.
After the incident, Grandma Lan was ostracized, and her two grandsons were also ostracized in the area and became much more withdrawn.
Even her son and daughter-in-law had some complaints about Aunt Lan after hearing about Wang Aijun's experience, so Aunt Lan has been having a very difficult time lately.
However, this still couldn't save Grandma Zheng's life.
There were many frictions and disagreements among the neighbors in the courtyard, but at most they would just have a minor squabble. This was the first time someone had died, which naturally made Aunt Lan's already bad reputation even worse.
After tidying up the house, Buling and Sangshen went out of the courtyard hand in hand. They still had many questions in their minds and naturally needed to find Sangzi to ask them...
