Chapter 34 -34 The Song Family’s Relatives Are Too Scary_1
Ji Yingying curiously looked at Asheng but then shoved him away, “Why are you calling my grandpa smelly?
You’re the stinky one, your whole family is stinky!”
Caught off guard, Little Asheng was pushed to the ground.
A bit slow to react.
By the time he did react, his little face was beet red, a mix of shame and annoyance, and he burst into tears with a loud “waah”.
Song family: …
Old Mrs.
Song pulled up her little grandson, scolding with a laugh, “You little rascal, you got pushed over by a little girl and still have the face to cry?”
Little Asheng: I wasn’t prepared.
Today, Old Mr.
Ji was dressed in a neat Zhongshan suit, standing with a very straight posture, looking every inch a person of status.
Not to mention, a middle-aged man with an air of importance was following behind him, carrying things.
The middle-aged man looked quite imposing, but he seemed like the elder’s little follower.
Song Yunuan hurriedly made introductions.
This is Hospital Director Zhuang from Nanshan County Town’s hospital, and this, this is Old Mr.
Ji.
As for the little girl, she had already made self-introductions with Asheng.
She even wiped Asheng’s tears, “Little brother, don’t cry, I didn’t use much force.
You just couldn’t stand steady, it’s not my fault.
By the way, my name is Ji Yingying.
You can call me Sister Yingying.”
Little Asheng dodged a bit and asked, “How old are you?”
“How old are you?” Ji Yingying countered.
Little Asheng didn’t even blink an eye: “I’m ten years old.”
Song Yunuan glared: “Asheng!”
Song Mingsheng immediately said, “I hadn’t finished talking yet, ten years old minus five years.”
On the other side, Old Man Song was already warmly welcoming the guests into the courtyard.
Old Man Sun found it quite magical, these last few days Erdao River Village seemed to have its meridians unblocked.
Blimey, you could see jeeps every day and people who looked different from the villagers, city dwellers.
And since when did the Song family know the director of the county hospital?
That was really startling.
Unable to contain himself, Old Man Sun followed along for a few steps and asked, “This…
who are these people to your family?”
Old Mrs.
Song glanced at Little Nuan, mustering courage and plucking up her nerve, “They are our relatives.”
Hospital Director Zhuang paused mid-step, furrowed his brow, but seeing that his master did not make a sound, his expression changed, and he quickly smiled, “Yes, we are relatives, and we’ll be visiting often from now on.”
Old Mrs.
Song was instantly elated.
Old Man Sun’s eyes were filled with envy.
He really wanted to follow them inside and cozy up, but still didn’t have the nerve to do so.
A jeep parked at the entrance of the Song family attracted quite a few onlookers, all of them inquiring, and Old Man Sun boasted with pride, “I know what’s going on here, come ask me!”
Inside the house, Song Yunuan served two cups of honeysuckle tea.
She had prepared it for her little aunt.
The honeysuckle was picked by Old Man Song, originally intended for a traditional medicine shop in Nanshan County Town, but they no longer wanted it, so it was all stored in the barn.
Once everyone was inside the house, there was a moment of silence and awkwardness in the room.
Mainly because no one knew where to start the conversation.
Song Yunuan seemed not to notice, her eyes smiling, her voice sweet and gentle, “Old Mr.
Ji, you’ve finally got your wish.”
Meanwhile, Asheng had given Yingying a piece of milk candy, and the two children seemed to have forgotten their earlier spat, each sucking on a piece of candy, competing to see whose would melt faster.
From time to time, they would open their mouths to compare.
Accompanying this was the unstoppable drool, which was rather speechless.
Song Yunuan rubbed Yingying’s little head, “This must be your granddaughter.
She’s really pretty.”
Old Mr.
Ji softened his gaze, huffing, “You’ve got good taste.”
Song Yunuan giggled with a “hehe”.
Hospital Director Zhuang placed the items he brought on the kang (a traditional heated bed platform).
Old Mr.
Ji said, “There’s nothing much, just brought the kid over to get familiar with the place.”
He left it at that, saying nothing else.
Hospital Director Zhuang actually had no idea what was going on.
But that didn’t stop them from chatting with the Song family.
Old Man Song was talkative, and the conversation quickly became animated.
They didn’t sit for too long.
After some polite refusals, the Song family accepted the gifts they had brought.
Old Mr.
Ji was pleased that the Song family didn’t pry or ask too many questions; he looked at Song Yunuan, “I’ll be staying in Nanshan County Town for a while, living in the same old place.
You can bring Asheng over to play when you have time.”
Song Yunuan’s eyes lit up, “Can I go right now?”
Old Mr.
Ji laughed, “If you want to go, come with me, and I’ll bring you back in the evening.”
Little Asheng, “I want to go too.”
Old Mrs.
Song hurriedly said, “That’s not very appropriate.”
Song Yunuan had already gone to get her shoulder bag and said to Grandma Song, “Grandma, Asheng and I will be back tonight; don’t worry.”
The Wang family also heard that a relative who was a director in the city visited the Song’s, and they sneaked over to the Song’s place in a fluster.
Wang Dazhi only saw the smiling Song Yunuan and Song Mingsheng getting into the jeep; he saw Old Man Song waving his hand and shouting loudly, “Brother Ji, Little Zhuang, come to our place when you have time…”
The car drove away.
The villagers’ view of the Song family changed.
Wang Dazhi frowned and hid behind the hedge, watching.
A sense of foreboding rose from within him.

Lin Qing barely slept all night.
When she saw Xiujuan, she couldn’t express the mixed feelings in her heart.
She took the child to one side and couldn’t help but ask quietly, “Xiujuan, does Brigade Leader Song from your village know you?”
Xiujuan, seven years old, nodded obediently, “Auntie, Uncle Song knows me, he even gave me candy to eat.
He’s very nice, he let me play with Asheng too.
Asheng is adorable, he calls me sister.”
Lin Qing stiffened, unsure of where to put her hands.
Envy was evident in Xiujuan’s eyes as she spoke innocently, “Asheng’s dad is really good to him, he never hits or scolds him.
Grandma Song is good too; she never scolds girls and says they are a loss.
I wish my sister and I were their children.”
Lin Qing’s heart skipped a beat, “Xiujuan, have you ever said this to Asheng’s dad?”
Xiujuan asked in puzzled innocence, “Why should I tell Asheng’s dad?”
Lin Qing was frustrated, caught between a rock and a hard place.
She desperately wanted to crack open these people’s heads to clearly see what was true and what was not!
—————–
After arriving in the county town, Song Yunuan had things on her mind, so she left Asheng at Old Mr.
Ji’s house, and she went to a small rest house in town.
But it turned out that Lin Qing and Su Junze had left early in the morning.
The receptionist didn’t know when they would be back and mentioned that the upstairs had been booked out, with no visitors allowed.
Song Yunuan stood on the street corner, thought for a moment, and then went to find her uncle at the lumber mill.
It was a bit of a distance from the lumber mill, so she ran to wait for the bus.
When she had left the house earlier, Grandma had given her another yuan, so now she had two yuan and thirty cents in her pocket, which was quite a substantial amount.
But she did not know that Song Nian had taken his wife and child to Erdao River Village.
They just so happened to miss each other perfectly on the road.
—————–
Capital city, Xiliang Peak.
The environment here is elegant and serene, it is the highest level sanatorium in the provincial capital, and on the north side, there is the rest house of Dragon Aviation located in the provincial capital.
Security at the entrance to the rest house was strict.
There were more staff than usual.
Because the commander of Dragon Aviation, Gu Huai’an, was resting here.
Soon after, a dark green jeep stopped slowly by the roadside.
Chu Zizhou from the Chu family in Beidu got out of the car.
There were guards at the entrance, so naturally, he didn’t dare to barge in.
He could come up to Xiliang Peak only because of the Chu family’s influence.
