Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Do you think I’m smart?_1

Xia Bowen was silent for a moment, then said, "Let’s leave it at that for now. Do you have anything else?"

Song Yunuan just chuckled and said, "I actually do have one more thing."

"Go ahead and speak."

Hearing that Song Yunuan had something to say, Xia Bowen instinctively felt a heaviness in his chest.

Song Yunuan asked Xia Bowen, "Old man, do you think I’m clever?"

Xia Bowen burst out laughing, "Naturally, you are clever."

Not only clever but also full of cunning schemes.

"Do you think your children can outsmart me?"

Xia Bowen frowned deeply, "Little Nuan, you shouldn’t speak like that."

Song Yunuan giggled, "It’s better to prevent trouble before it arises. Let’s get the ugly talk out of the way first.

For now, if no one provokes me, I won’t provoke them. But if anyone dares to provoke me, I will retaliate a hundredfold.

Please control your children. Don’t let them mess with me, and don’t let them mess with my uncle either.

Perhaps, for the time being, we can live in peace.

But if they insist on courting death, then I can only gladly accept the challenge."

Xia Bowen: ...

His head ached terribly.

"Old man, I have nothing else." Song Yunuan cheerfully said goodbye to Xia Bowen.

Xia Bowen sighed helplessly and then hung up the phone.

-----------------

Speaking of which, she and her uncle were complete strangers with no emotional bond.

But by cooperating with her, an inexplicable sense of kinship had formed.

Song Yunuan merrily spun around the room.

Then she pulled over Xia Guilan and Song Liang and told them about Xia Xindong.

Xia Guilan was so shocked that she almost choked and coughed violently for a while.

Song Liang looked at his daughter with a complex expression, "You really know how to keep a secret. Why decide to tell us now? We’re completely unprepared."

"I had no choice. Who knew if my uncle would be able to return safely? If he couldn’t, it would be better if grandma and you knew nothing."

That made sense.

"But this is so sudden. Have you told your grandma?" Xia Guilan asked.

"Let’s not mention it for now. If we tell my grandma, she won’t be able to sleep all night."

"So what do we do now?"

"Prepare the empty house at the eastern side of the educated youth spot for my uncle. He must live in the room with the biggest window that gets the most sunshine.

Then tell grandma that Brigade Leader Chu has guests coming and he’s too embarrassed to make arrangements, but we should prepare for him.

We still have newspapers at home. Mom, let’s take the papers and go paste them on the walls right now."

Song Yunuan first went to inform Chu Zizhou.

Adding another villager to Erdao River Village definitely required reporting to him.

Song Yunuan briefly and succinctly told him about the situation. Chu Zizhou ran his hand through his hair, looking at Song Yunuan, "Song Yunuan, why does it feel like Erdao River Village has become a whole other world with you in it?"

"You must be getting weak mentally, how could Erdao River Village possibly be another world?

Right, just you knowing about this for now is good. Let’s keep it quiet for the time being."

Chu Zizhou had no choice but to nod.

So that’s why recently, Shangguan Yunqi arrived sitting and left lying down, and there were countless phone calls from Xia Bowen.

They were all involved in a big event.

He felt that as long as he stayed in Erdao River Village, his life wouldn’t be dull.

He suddenly felt excited.

He knew about that special medicine too.

Moreover, for the sake of importing that batch of medicine, Grandpa Gu and the grandfather had to make many concessions.

Because of this, those two old men lost several nights of sleep.

Chu Zizhou suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for Xia Bowen.

His life would not be easy.

"So, what can I do to help now?"

"As long as you agree to lend the house to my uncle, that would be enough."

"I definitely agree. He can stay as long as he likes. By the way, do we need to replace any doors or windows?"

"No need. I’m going to clean up soon. All the glass is good. We must wipe them until they sparkle, so that all the sunlight of Erdao River Village shines into my uncle’s room!"

The little girl laughed, her brows and eyes bending into a curve as she exaggeratedly drew a large circle.

Chu Zizhou: ...

His eyes heated up inexplicably.

How lucky he would be if he had a niece like her!

Song Yunuan ran excitedly to the educated youth spot.

Over there, Xia Guilan had already finished talking with Xia Xinshan.

The two of them tried hard to calm their excited emotions.

Then, they began to tidy up the house.

Zhu Feng said, "Little Nuan wanted to eat rolled noodles yesterday, so let’s just all eat here. I’ll fry a few more dishes, and later I’ll invite your old man and Old Mrs. Song over."

Xia Guilan felt it was good for her mother to get busy, so she agreed.

Zhu Feng looked at her eldest son and daughter, a touch of sorrow flickering in her eyes.

As she turned around, her tears started to flow.

Her younger son was missing, his life or death unknown. She didn’t dare to make any rash moves now, fearing that if she did not do well, she might instead cause trouble and hassle for her children.

All she could do was pray to Buddha and the bodhisattvas every day.

Pray that her son would come back to see her before she took her last breath.

She didn’t dare to ask for too much.

After wiping away her tears, the little old lady went to cut the chives.

Today, she was going to make a chive and egg stew.

Little Nuan loved meat, and there was a piece of lean meat pressurized in the well, which she would later cut into strips and add chili to make a pork slivers stew.

Zhu Feng glanced at the sun and hurried to the back yard.

The room was small and easy to tidy up.

A few days ago, Song Yunuan had made an excuse to have her eldest uncle clean up the house.

The mattress on the kang was replaced with a new reed mat.

The glass was wiped clean.

The next thing was to paste newspapers, and Song Yunuan called Zhou Xiaohua over.

Song Yunuan was so busy she had no time to think about anything else.

The four of them quickly finished pasting the newspapers.

The room was suddenly transformed, and Zhou Xiaohua exclaimed in surprise, "How come it looks so nice when it’s tidied up?"

Xia Guilan saw Old Mrs. Song returning and quietly told her about it.

Old Mrs. Song was so surprised that she didn’t respond for a long time.

Then she finally said, "Take whatever you want."

Xia Guilan carried over a mahogany box.

Chu Zizhou also brought over two chairs.

They had ready-made clothes and trousers.

As for towels and toiletries, Song Yunuan had stock on hand.

The wash basin was also new, embossed with the red "Shuang Xi" symbol.

As for shoes, that was even easier to say.

There were all sizes of shoes in the storage room.

Xia Guilan put clothes into the cabinet while her tears fell. It was only now; if it had been a few months earlier, she probably would not even have had the money to make trousers for her brother.

-----------------

Sitting on the train, Xia Xindong closed his eyes and leaned against the window.

Opposite him was a man who had accompanied him all the way to Nanshan County Town.

He was said to be Xia Bowen’s secretary.

His surname was Bai, and he said he was a few years older than him.

Secretary Bai held his hands tightly, and since meeting him, he had not heard him say a word.

He only hoped they would reach their destination quickly.

-----------------

Song Yunuan truly had not expected to see Gu Huai’an waiting at the train station.

Tall and statuesque, upright and serene.

Song Yunuan was so surprised that she even forgot to call out "little brother."

Song Liang and Xia Guilan had brought Song Yunuan in a hurry on a horse-drawn cart.

They had just arrived, and there was still half an hour before the train would enter the station.
