Normally, he should come to see his sister's funeral, gather the property, and then leave. On the other side, he had a lot of official and family affairs, but, encouraged by that girl Song Chihan, he was greedy... But he put everything aside and waited for Song Chihan to do "big things", and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.
He calmed down a bit in the past two days, and felt that it was not easy to accomplish anything, and there was still a lot of danger... He kept thinking about how to remedy the situation if something went wrong. Then he also had to consider time... He had a responsibility and could not wait here indefinitely.
It will be troublesome if we end up with nothing!
"How is my uncle?" Song Chihan asked as soon as he entered the door.
Wei Zhikuan's heart began to beat again. It was Chinese New Year, and this girl didn't even show any courtesy! Was this all she could think about?
How did the Song family raise her?
Even if it's like this, I'm afraid I'll be noticed before I do anything! He frowned and said, "Sit down first."
Song Chihan's eyes were cold and he was a little dissatisfied, but he sat down as he was told.
"What's going on with the Song family?" Wei Zhikuan asked.
Song Chihan said, "Nothing happened! My father... accompanied that woman back to her parents' home today. The old lady went to the Wen family. Uncle... Speaking of which, uncle is the best person in the mansion to me."
Wei Zhikuan didn't care: "Although I don't know much about the Song family, don't forget that when it comes to major interests, what is good and what is bad? If my own father is like this, how much better can my uncle be?"
Song Chihan thought about it and said, "You are right!"
Wei Zhikuan said, "Just keep it in mind. We can't tell him anything we are going to do. You know the story of the snipe and the clam fighting, but the fisherman gets the advantage, right? If anything happens to your father, the other uncles will be our biggest opponents! We want to snatch things from them, understand?"
Song Chihan listened very seriously and nodded slightly.
"But... people should not be too greedy. Uncle just wants to avenge your mother and vent your anger. Money is just a matter of convenience. Whatever you have is as much as you can get. There is no need to be too fussy about it."
Song Chihan nodded: "You are right. I think so too!"
"So you haven't changed your mind?" Wei Zhikuan asked.
"Why should I change it? I have already planned it. I will open a small kitchen in the yard first. In this way, I can have access to the soup. Then...it will happen naturally!"
Song Chihan's little face was serious and earnest, and her eyes were cold, which was totally unlike a girl of her age.
Wei Zhikuan said, "Thinking and doing are two different things. Don't underestimate your determination now. When the time comes, it's still unclear whether you can do it. Besides, will your father find out? When you hold the soup with ingredients in it, if your face doesn't turn pale and your hands don't tremble, then my words are in vain! Your father didn't get what he is today for nothing."
Song Chihan was very stubborn: "I have made up my mind, so my hands won't shake! Besides, it's not my fault! Blame him, he was the one who wronged me first!"
"But no matter what, if you want to get things done, you can't just rely on hatred. Let me find you a maid who is good at it... I'll take you there in a while, and she can teach you. You... experience it first, and if you feel uncomfortable during this period, you can stop at any time. There are many ways to deal with Song Shang, so don't make it difficult for yourself."
The way he was thinking about her made Song Chihan feel better. She nodded: "Then let's go now."
She left the people she brought with her behind and followed Wei Zhikuan into the car. After walking for a while, they arrived at a small courtyard. When she got down, she saw that the courtyard was very small, dark, dirty, and had a bad smell.
Song Chihan hesitated: "Uncle, can't you bring her to our place?"
Wei Zhikuan said calmly: "If you can't even stand this, what else can you do?"
At this time, a woman came out of the yard, hunched over, with wrinkles all over her face and tattered and dirty clothes: "Master, Miss." Her voice was hoarse. When she smiled, she had a mouthful of rotten teeth...
Song Chihan felt sick and looked at Wei Zhikuan, who had no expression on his face. She gritted her teeth, took out a handkerchief to cover her nose, and went in with the old woman.
Wei Zhikuan was a cautious person, he would not follow them in, he walked back and forth and looked around: Don't let anyone follow me...
…
Song Tao and Xu Erlang, who were in the warehouse, were shocked when the warehouse door closed.
"Go block the door!" Song Tao reacted quickly, shouting and rushing towards the door. Xu Erlang followed closely behind...
But it was too late.
As the door closed, they were both plunged into darkness.
This warehouse has no windows... Once the door is closed, you can't see your hand in front of you.
Only by lying down in front of the door can a very faint light come in.
"How could this happen? Why is the door closed? What did we touch?" Song Tao broke out in a cold sweat and panicked...
So what did we touch? Thinking carefully, nothing!
Will the door close automatically when the time comes? But that day, Song Shang stayed much longer than us, how come nothing happened!? Xu Erlang was not as calm as him, and he jumped around: "Why is the door closed? We didn't touch anything? Is that right, Master Qi, what should we do? What should we do? We are done!"
He was making so much noise that Song Tao's livid face could not be seen in the darkness.
"Shut up!" Song Tao said viciously.
Xu Erlang stopped talking and tried to pry open the door with the faint light coming through the crack. Unfortunately, he couldn't even get his fingernails in.
Song Tao calmed down for a while, but couldn't think of a solution. He didn't know how this mechanism worked. Don't worry, Song Tao, don't worry...
The key was still on him. His eyes adjusted to the darkness a little, and slowly, he could see his surroundings clearly...
With the key, as long as we find the keyhole, we should be able to open it from the inside, right? Otherwise, what if Song Shang locked himself in there? Yes, it can definitely be opened from the inside!
Seeing Xu Erlang spinning in a panic, he said in a deep voice, "Don't shout yet. Look around to see if there is a keyhole. Yes, especially the position of the dial outside."
So, the two of them began to feel around the warehouse door bit by bit...
…
After having lunch at the Wen family, Wen Yu went to the Cui family to see her mother-in-law.
There were quite a few people on the street, all dressed in bright clothes, but since the shops were closed, not many people stopped.
Their carriage met Qin Lianyue's carriage at the intersection, but neither of them knew about it and just passed by each other.
Today, Qin Lianyue planned to sneak out while Mrs. Jiang took her eldest son and daughter-in-law back to her parents' home.
Madam Jiang discussed with Qin Lianyue in advance: Your parents' home is not in the capital, so come back with us to have some fun...
Jiang Er agreed, but Qin Lianyue had something on her mind, her mother was still at the inn! So, she made up a lie and declined, but she let Jiang Er go with her.
Then, she brought her people and took some braised chicken, braised meat, steamed buns and a lot of other food from the kitchen. The manager was puzzled when he heard the news, but it was a big deal because the eldest grandmother had already instructed them to be polite to the second grandmother... So, he helped her pack the food and carried it to the car.
Why did Qin Lianyue bring these? It was because: Du Liu had an extremely miserable year and even had almost no food to eat.
She came in a hurry and hid it from her relatives and friends. Her mind was in a mess and she lost her former shrewdness. In addition, after she came, she was depressed after talking to her daughter and collapsed after talking to Cui Fengying.
Then he did the accounting, totaling and sorting, and finally he finally settled Cui Fengying's matter.
She fell seriously ill.
The people below didn't dare to provoke her or say anything nonsense. When Du Liu realized what was happening and wanted to buy something else, it was already the end of the year, and all shops were closed, so he couldn't buy anything.
Moreover, the innkeeper, the waiters, the cooks and the cleaners all went home.
The inn was deserted, with no one except them. If the boss hadn't been kind, and of course for money, he might have kicked her family out. At least he left some noodles and meat for them. Now, they had to cook their own meals and fetch and boil water themselves.
For a group of people, as long as we have food to eat every day, it is considered the New Year.
Du Liu was so angry that he fell on the bed again... tears were streaming down his face, he really didn't know how it turned out like this.
Qin Lianyue came, and Du Liu was furious when he looked at her: he had spoiled and loved her for so many years, but she ended up like this. He married her to a family, but not only did his family not benefit from it, he also had to spend money. Now he didn't even celebrate the New Year, and he came to solve her problem.
So, he scolded her without restraint: "There is a big family at home, including your father and your brothers. What should I do during the New Year? In the end... I have to run to the capital to do all these for you, and I have to spend money to do it. There is no food even. You would be at ease if I starved to death, right? How can you be so disappointing? I have loved you for so many years... you..." He cried as he spoke.
Qin Lianyue bit her handkerchief, tears streaming down her cheeks as if she didn't need any money...
When Wen Yu arrived at Cui's house, the man was setting up a rack in the yard and cutting meat.
When General Cui saw them, he smiled and said, "Ayu, come into the house quickly. Your mother and aunts are playing cards. Xiaowu, come and help us. We will have roast lamb tonight!"
Yesterday, someone said that my updates have been unstable recently.
I have to say this is true! It's like my heart is full of grass, and my brain refuses to think about the plot...
I have something to do right now, so the next chapter will be late again.
