Song Anshan sat aside, watching the interaction between the two of them, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Song Zhi originally came here to live in seclusion and raise her children, but now with more people here, her originally secluded courtyard has become lively again.
But she didn't hate the noise, instead she felt warm in her heart.
Tang Junhe took a leave in the afternoon and didn't have to go back to the army, so he stayed.
Amid the noise, time passed quickly and soon it was dark.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Song Zhi had no choice but to keep him for dinner.
With so many people and guests present, the dinner was even more sumptuous. Nie Jinmei and Ran Qiu cooked a large table of dishes, most of which were Song Zhi's favorites.
Song Zhi had a good appetite and ate a lot.
Even Song Anshan ate half a bowl of rice more than at noon, and praised Ran Qiu for cooking the meal properly.
"Good cooking skills."
Ran Qiu was praised by him and replied modestly: "It's just some home-cooked dishes, as long as uncle doesn't mind."
Looking at his humble appearance, Song Anshan liked him even more.
After dinner, Song Anshan suddenly thought of Song Ruanruan.
He had been in Anyang County for a day, and even Tang Junhe had heard the news and rushed over, but Song Ruanruan had appeared from beginning to end, which made Song Anshan feel strange.
"Where does Ruan Ruan live? I'll go see her tomorrow."
Song Anshan has always been fair to everyone. Now that he is here, it is impossible for him to only look at Song Zhi and not Song Ruanruan.
Song Ruanruan's name made everyone present look embarrassed. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Song Zhi's expression was also a little stiff.
Tang Junhe didn't expect that Song Zhi didn't tell Song Anshan about this. He looked at her slightly flustered expression and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Their silence made Song Anshan realize something, and he frowned and asked, "Did something happen to her?"
Everyone's expressions instantly became more awkward.
They all looked at Song Zhi at the same time.
It would be most appropriate for her to tell Song Anshan about this matter.
Their reactions made Song Anshan feel even more uneasy, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Zhizhi, what happened to your sister?" he asked Song Zhi.
Song Zhi adjusted his mood and spoke with a heavy expression.
"Song Ruanruan is now undergoing renovation at the western farm."
This sentence was like a thunder exploding above Song Anshan's head.
He looked at Song Zhi in disbelief and asked hurriedly, "Why did she go to the farm for transformation? What exactly happened?"
He knew that the person who was to be reformed must have done something very bad.
But he thought about how Song Ruanruan had always been well-behaved and sensible, and he really couldn't figure out what she had done to be punished and sent to the farm for reform.
As soon as Song Zhi saw Song Anshan's expression, she knew that he didn't recognize Song Ruanruan's true face and had been deceived by her superficial obedience.
She pursed her lips, and a strange gleam flashed across her eyes.
This is a good opportunity to give him a heads-up so that he won't be deceived by that mother and daughter like he was in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Song Zhi sighed deeply, and then told Song Ruanruan what she had done with a sad face.
"Song Ruanruan broke her leg while looking for someone in the mountains, and she's been recovering in the hospital ever since. There was an avalanche at that time, so I didn't go to see her. When I went there later, she was having an affair with the male educated youth team leader."
Speaking of this, Song Zhi looked very helpless.
"I tried to dissuade her at the time, but I never expected them to be so bold and have sex in the school dormitory. They were even caught red-handed, and the scandal spread throughout Anyang County..."
Song Anshan's face turned green after hearing this. He was speechless for a long time, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Ruan Ruan has always been well-behaved, how could she do something so rebellious?"
He didn't suspect Song Zhi of lying, he just couldn't believe it.
"That's exactly what Zhizhi said."
Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing both said that this matter was completely true. Although Ran Qiu and Tang Junhe did not say anything, it could be seen from their expressions that they also knew about this matter.
Song Anshan saw all their reactions. At this moment, he felt his eyes go dark and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
"They were caught in bed together, and she and the male educated youth bribed the headmaster. That's why she was sentenced to multiple crimes and sent to a farm in the west for reform. News of this spread throughout the village."
Song Zhi pursed her lips.
"If Dad doesn't believe it, he can just ask anyone and find out."
Song Anshan's face turned greener as he listened, and now he felt his head buzzing.
He really couldn't believe that his adopted daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible in his memory, would do such a thing in the countryside, and it had become known to everyone.
Just listening to Song Zhi's story, Song Anshan felt his cheeks burning hot and he felt so embarrassed as if someone had slapped him in the face several times.
Although Song Zhi explained it in such detail, he also wanted Song Anshan to get to know Song Ruanruan better.
But looking at Song Anshan's current appearance, she sighed in her heart and couldn't help but speak to comfort him.
"It would be a good idea to let Song Ruanruan reform on the farm for a while. Maybe after a while she'll realize her mistakes and change her ways. That would be a good thing."
It took a long time before Song Anshan reluctantly accepted this fact.
Song Zhi looked at him deeply, and finally couldn't help but remind him.
"Dad, don't be foolish and interfere. Song Ruanruan did something wrong and she has to bear the consequences."
How could he possibly interfere with those who were sent down by the party organization for reform because of their work style problems, and there was nothing he could do.
"No." He said in a muffled voice.
Only then did Song Zhi feel relieved.
She knew that Song Anshan had a bottom line, but he was soft-hearted. If he returned and was instigated by her eloquent stepmother, and really went to rescue Song Ruanruan in a fit of rage, then all her previous efforts would be in vain.
Everyone could see that this incident was a huge blow to Song Anshan, but they didn't know what to say.
Tang Junhe didn't say anything, but signaled to Song Zhi to comfort Song Anshan more.
Song Zhi got up and poured a glass of water for Song Anshan and brought it over.
"Dad, drink some water. Don't worry, I will definitely be filial to you in the future."
She spoke to comfort him.
After all, Song Ruanruan went to the farm for reformation, and it would probably take a long time for her to come out.
Song Anshan picked up the water cup and took a sip, feeling depressed.
The series of stimulations throughout the day made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Hearing his sigh, Song Zhi comforted him again: "When I become successful, I will definitely let you enjoy a peaceful life and don't have to suffer like this anymore."
Thinking about what Song Zhi did, it was not much less outrageous than Song Ruanruan. She even secretly gave birth to a child.
Song Anshan glared at Song Zhi again in annoyance.
