The house where Yan Shu's family lives has three bedrooms and a decent layout. It's not too crowded.
She planned to clean up Yan Yaoyao's old room and let Yan Qiao live there.
This room is filled with the atmosphere of Yan Yaoyao's life.
So Yan Shu packed away some of her old belongings, and even had a new mattress delivered.
Song Jing walked around the room and came out. "Mom, this room is too small. It's making my sister feel uncomfortable."
Yan Shu: "...That's enough."
He didn't say that when Yan Yaoyao was here before.
He complained that Yan Yaoyao's room was too big and that it wasn't fair at all.
Song Yinsheng seemed to be thinking for a moment, then asked, "Wife, is the room next door vacant?"
"Yes, Lao Wu and the others have all moved away."
Song Yinsheng said, "Why don't we knock down the walls of the house together?"
Song Jing mocked without any politeness: "Dad, you're dreaming. You're renting a house, and you want to knock down the walls of someone else's house?"
Song Yinsheng glared at him. "Who told you this is a rented house? When did your mother or I ever tell you that our house is rented?"
Song Jing seemed to have discovered some incredible secret, and was speechless with astonishment.
"The house next door..."
Yan Shu said, "You're all grown up now, so I won't hide it from you anymore. The house next door is also ours. Our family is well-off; we own some properties, all of which are rented out."
That's a rather conservative estimate; actually, there are several buildings connected here, all of which belong to her.
Shi Yuehua received two-thirds of the property, mostly in cash and a small portion in real estate.
She used the money to invest in the real estate industry, caught up with the trend of the times, and bought one house after another.
She even holds shares in some of the better real estate companies under the four major families in Yancheng.
She only takes a share of the profits and never does anything; she's very free.
After Yan Shu got married, Shi Yuehua transferred most of her assets to her daughter.
Yan Shuxian had plenty of money and bought one house after another; he had plenty of houses and was never short of them.
The reason I've been living in this area around the Fifth Ring Road is because this house is Song Yinsheng's family's old house, and I've developed a deep attachment to it and can't bear to leave.
The reason she didn't tell the children was because Yan Shu considered her family to be nothing special and didn't want them to develop the extravagant attitudes of spoiled rich kids.
In addition, for some unknown reason, Shi Yuehua personally instructed that Yan Yaoyao not to be told yet, so she and Song Yinsheng did not tell her.
She and Song Yinsheng believed that raising two children together, their living conditions were not bad.
But he couldn't understand why Yan Yaoyao felt like she was suffering.
Song Jing felt as if a huge pie had fallen from the sky and hit him right on the head.
"So, I'm now a second-generation homeowner?"
Yan Shu glanced at him and said irritably, "I guess so. When you come of age, I'll give you a house as a coming-of-age gift."
Song Yinsheng chuckled. This silly son of his thought that the family only owned a few houses.
If he were to take out the notebook, he would probably be terrified.
“Then I’ll find a renovation company to come over now, knock down the two apartments together, and redesign the layout.”
The house, after being combined, is about 170 or 180 square meters, making it more comfortable to live in.
Yan Qiao sat in a completely unfamiliar room, feeling a strange mix of emotions.
Unlike the empty Yan family home, or the quiet and desolate No. 5 courtyard, this place has a unique feeling of home.
"Sis, come out for dinner."
Song Jing was very outgoing and called her "sister" very affectionately.
Yan Qiao responded and went out.
Song Yinsheng cooked himself; he was a very good cook. According to Song Jing, he was the one who usually cooked at home.
Yan Shu, on the other hand, holds the highest position in the family and is only responsible for being beautiful.
“Your maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents are living in Tongxiang. When we have time, your parents will take you there to visit them,” Yan Shu said with a smile.
Yan Qiao nodded, "I don't know what Grandma and Grandpa like, I'll prepare something later."
Song Yinsheng patted her head and said with a smile, "The old lady likes her granddaughter who does well in her studies."
Song Jing retorted, "Dad, can you please stop subtly criticizing me?"
Song Yinsheng said, "You know I'm subtly criticizing you, but I've never seen you change your ways. Your mother and I only have you two children. Your older sister is a top student, how can you be a slacker?"
Song Jing remained silent. Being a poor student was fine too; as long as he could cling to his sister's coattails, that was enough.
After dinner, Yan Qiao wanted to help clean up, but Yan Shu pulled her away.
"It's not that I don't want you to do it, it's just that you just got home today. From now on, you and Xiaojing will take turns doing it. That's how it is in our family."
Yan Shu's words made Yan Qiao feel more at ease, giving her a sense of security that this was her home.
After dinner, Song Yinsheng usually makes tea and sits in the living room to chat.
Life here is leisurely, lacking the fast pace of the city center, which makes it very comfortable.
Yan Qiao took out the voice recorder.
"There was a hidden reason why Yan Yaoyao and I were switched back then. It was all done by Madam Yuan. There is a recording here. If you want to call the police, it's not too late."
Yan Shu was so shocked that she couldn't find her voice for a moment.
She and Song Yinsheng always thought the baby swap was accidental, but they never expected that someone had done it intentionally!
Looking at the recording pen, Yan Shu was filled with rage, wishing she could tear Old Madam Yuan to pieces.
"That old hag, I knew she was bad, but I never imagined she was wicked to the core!"
Song Yinsheng accepted the recording pen. "Qiaoqiao, your mother and I will handle this."
Yan Qiao nodded. "Don't worry about me. Whether or not to call the police is up to you."
Then she went back inside.
The translation has been delayed for a long time; we need to catch up.
Yan Shu originally wanted to hear what was being said on the recording, but Song Yinsheng pressed her hand down.
"Go back to your room."
Back in his room, Song Yinsheng turned on the recorder and listened to the recording.
The preceding conversation infuriated them.
Despite doing such a thing, Madam Yuan showed no remorse whatsoever.
Hearing the truth about Yan Qiao missing the college entrance exam, Yan Shu gripped Song Yinsheng's hand tightly, tears trembling as she shed tears.
"This is outrageous! This old bastard is simply going too far!"
She's trying to ruin Yan Qiao's life!
Song Yinsheng's eyes reddened, and he gripped her hand tightly, gritting his teeth fiercely.
"Call the police! We must call the police! This matter must be investigated thoroughly!"
Yan Shu buried her face in his chest and cried uncontrollably.
“My mother and I have already compromised to this extent, even at the cost of leaving Yancheng. What else is she dissatisfied with? Why is she treating my child like this!”
Shi Yuehua and the old man severed ties completely, never once considering any lingering connection.
In the entire Yan family, Old Madam Yuan held absolute power.
If Yan Shu hadn't later married Song Yinsheng, she might not have returned to Yancheng.
Why is she pushing me so hard when we're clearly keeping our distance?
Song Yinsheng said sadly, "This is not your fault. Don't take the blame for other people's mistakes. Fortunately, we found our daughter. From now on, we will cherish her and make up for it with all our heart."
