"Sister, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you, but if I don't tell you, I will feel very uncomfortable."
Xu Li hesitated for a long time, turned her head to look at Zheng Peilan and their room, then turned back, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a low voice.
"Is it related to my parents?"
Seeing Xu Li like this, Song Shishi's heart skipped a beat.
Although she didn't know what it was, she had a feeling it was definitely not a good thing?
Could it be that my mother’s illness has worsened again?
This shouldn't be the case. Haven't you been taking medicine all the time?
Xu Li nodded, but didn't dare to say anything.
Realizing Xu Li's concerns, Song Shishi did not continue to ask.
...
...
She quickly stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, then cleaned up the kitchen with Xu Li before pulling Xu Li into the room.
After closing the door, Song Shishi pulled Xu Li to the bedside and sat down, asking in a low voice: "What happened? Is my mom..."
Song Shishi said this, pointing to the location of her heart.
Xu Li shook her head and looked towards the door.
"Don't worry, my parents go to bed early and usually don't get up at this time."
These words were like a reassurance to Xu Li, but she still lowered her voice, so low that only she and Song Shishi could hear it.
"Yesterday at noon, Shitou came to see me. On the way to eat, I saw a man who looked like my uncle walking into an alley. I was unsure, so I followed him. As a result..."
Xu Li seemed to find it difficult to speak and stammered.
"As a result, I saw my uncle enter a courtyard door. As soon as the door closed, a woman's voice came from inside the door, saying something like "My son misses me too."
Seeing Song Shishi's face turn pale, Xu Li was frightened. She slapped her mouth and regretted talking too much.
"Sister, maybe I really saw it wrong, that..."
Song Shishi knew clearly that if she had really seen it wrong, there was no way Xu Li would tell her about it.
Xu Li would only do this if she was absolutely sure about the truth of the matter and that the man who entered the yard was her father Song Zhenhua.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, she must investigate it thoroughly. Otherwise, when she moves out, what kind of life will her mother Zheng Peilan live?
Song Shishi held Xu Li's hand tightly, her eyes firm, "Lili, just pretend you don't know about this, keep it to yourself, and don't let my mother know. She has a bad heart and can't stand this kind of stimulation."
Xu Li nodded desperately, afraid that Song Shishi would not believe her, so she assured her, "Sister, don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter. I haven't told anyone about this except you, and Shitou doesn't know either. When he asked me about it, I just said that I recognized the wrong person."
Song Shishi pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Thank you, Lili."
Xu Li hugged her and comforted her in a low voice: "Sister, don't think too much about it. Let's investigate this matter carefully."
"We should investigate it carefully."
…
After getting up in the morning, Song Shishi made breakfast for her family as usual.
Because they were moving to the courtyard house today, Xu Li also got up early.
While Song Shishi was making breakfast, Xu Li helped clean the house and pack the luggage.
"Huh? Lili, why did you get up so early today?"
Zheng Peilan and Song Zhenhua came out of the room together and saw Xu Li mopping the floor. They looked up and glanced at the room. The tables and chairs had obviously been wiped.
Xu Li smiled and said, "Uncle, Auntie, I made some dumplings this morning. They are delicious. Come and have some."
Zheng Peilan glanced towards the kitchen and waved to Xu Li.
"Don't be busy, come and have dinner together."
"I'm almost done. I'll come back after I finish this one. Auntie, you guys go over first."
While Zheng Peilan and Xu Li were talking, Song Zhenhua had already sat down at the dining table.
Song Shishi came out of the kitchen holding a bowl of vegetable soup.
She glanced at Song Zhenhua and said calmly, "Dad, let me get you a bowl of soup."
Song Zhenhua didn't even raise his eyelids. He ate buns while reading the newspaper in his hand. When he heard Song Shishi's words, he just nodded.
Song Shishi served a bowl to everyone.
Zheng Peilan came over and Song Shishi handed her the hot soup.
"Mom and Dad, Lili and I are moving out today."
Since Song Shishi took back the house deed, Zheng Peilan had already been preparing herself mentally. Her daughter had grown up, and sooner or later she would leave them.
But Song Zhenhua obviously hadn't thought about this question, so when he heard what Song Shishi said, he looked up in shock, frowning.
"Moving out? You've only been working for a few days, and you think you've grown wings and want to fly away?"
Zheng Peilan probably also felt that Song Zhenhua's attitude was very bad, so she reached out and tugged at the corner of Song Zhenhua's clothes.
But Song Zhenhua had no intention of restraining himself at all.
He didn't hear Song Shishi's response, and he slammed the table angrily, "I'm talking to you!"
Song Shishi clenched her hands at her sides into fists, then unclenched and clenched them again, then unclenched them again, to ease her emotions.
"I've already prepared the house. Lili and I don't have much luggage. I'm free today, so I thought I'd move in today. I'll come back to see you when I have a day off."
Song Shishi ignored the furious Song Zhenhua and slowly explained to Zheng Peilan.
Zheng Peilan glanced at Song Zhenhua, "Your dad is worried about you too. You two girls have to be extra careful living outside. Bring Xiao Shiwu with you. He can also watch the door for you."
Xiao Shiwu smelled the aroma of meat buns and kept wandering around the dining table.
At this time, when Xiao Shiwu heard Zheng Peilan calling his name, he immediately wagged his little tail, stuck out his tongue, came to Zheng Peilan's side, opened his clear big eyes, and looked up at Zheng Peilan.
"Mom, do you want to go to the courtyard with us today?"
Without waiting for Zheng Peilan to answer, Song Zhenhua became even angrier when he realized that he was being ignored.
But one of his arms was being held by Zheng Peilan, so he had to suppress his anger and said, "I won't eat it anymore. You guys eat it."
"Dad, aren't you on holiday today?"
Song Shishi, who was just angry with Song Zhenhua, suddenly asked when Song Zhenhua got up to go out.
Song Zhenhua's back obviously paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"Something happened in the army."
As soon as Song Zhenhua walked out, Song Shishi and Xu Li looked at each other.
"Mom, I remembered I still have something to buy, I'll go out for a while."
"Ah? What didn't you buy? Why don't we go together later..."
Before Zheng Peilan could finish her sentence, Song Shishi had already hurried out.
Xu Li pulled Zheng Peilan to sit down and brought the hot buns to Zheng Peilan.
"Auntie, let's go over there and wait for my sister. The curtains in our room haven't been installed yet. My sister should be cutting the cloth."
"Is that so?"
Zheng Peilan was half-believing and half-doubting, but she couldn't think of any other reason.
"But since you two are staying there today, you really should install some curtains."
Seeing that Zheng Peilan believed her words, Xu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
