Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 280: Inviting the Wolf into the House

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Inviting the Wolf into the House

The Song family’s shop in the market had an upper and lower floor.

Combined, it covered over four hundred square meters, which for the moment was definitely enough.

It was estimated that construction would be finished by the end of August.

Once Grandma’s house was built, the educated youth spot would also be vacated.

It was about time for the family to have a telephone installed, so Song Yunuan took the opportunity to go to the post office and fill out an application form.

Now, she was just waiting for approval from above.

Having arranged everything here, Song Yunuan took the horse-drawn carriage to the electronics factory during her spare time and saw that Chu Xiaocao was in even better shape than before.

After checking the time, Song Yunuan went to Second Grandpa’s house.

They were leaving soon, so she had to make frequent visits.

Song Liang and Old Man Song were just about to go to Song Nian’s place and needed to stop by the grocery to buy some pork.

With summer here, pork had to be bought and eaten the same day.

Going their separate ways, Song Yunuan headed to Pine Tree Alley.

The gate was closed, no sounds could be heard, and Song Yunuan pushed open the door and walked in.

In the courtyard were a few large boxes, packed up and ready to be moved.

Old Mr. Ji’s residence was rather old and had seen little in the way of new furniture purchases, but the yard was spacious.

In fact, these old single-story houses built after the founding of the country were destined to be demolished as the city developed.

There was a cherry tree in the yard that never bore fruit, but it was lush and thriving.

At that moment, a woman was kneeling in the yard with her back to Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan actually recognized this woman.

At the doorway of the house stood an impatient-looking Old Mr. Ji.

Song Yunuan felt she had stumbled upon an extraordinary scene and instinctively took cover behind the cherry tree.

But the next moment, Song Yunuan was stunned.

She hadn’t expected to trigger such a scene, or rather a very clear image.

The images flashed, one after another, each incredibly distinct despite their speed.

Wei Qingmei, kneeling on the ground with eyes brimming with tears, choked up speaking to Old Mr. Ji inside the house, "Master, all my skills were taught by you. My success today is also thanks to Master’s grace. Even if you refuse to acknowledge me, I can never forget the great kindness and generosity you’ve shown me in this lifetime.

I knew Master was in Nanshan County Town, and I heard you found my junior sister. I was so happy that I didn’t know what to do, and I also learned that my senior and junior brothers have rejoined you. I cried for many days.

I too wish to return under your guidance, hence I went through great trouble to join this investigation team and, as hoped, I finally saw Master. But Master, where did your disciple go wrong? Why won’t you acknowledge me? Please tell me, even if I must die, let me die understanding why, Master..."

Old Mr. Ji was just about to turn red with anger and scold her, but the next moment he heard the delicate voice of Little Nuan in his mind.

"My heavens, I have never seen such a shameless person. She is even Second Grandpa’s disciple, Second Grandpa, you’ve let a wolf into the house."

"My aunt was drugged by her, carried away in a daze to the western Lang Mountain outside the city, and then thrown into the river below the mountain."

"My aunt was lucky, for the river carried her downstream where an old woman who’d been driven out by her son was about to jump into the river, and by chance, she saved my aunt."

Old Mr. Ji’s entire body stiffened.

Even at that moment, he held his breath.

He suddenly looked towards the spot where Song Yunuan had been standing dumbstruck, yet she gestured to him a signal for silence.

But at the same time, Little Nuan’s voice continued to echo in his mind.

"My aunt was saved by an old lady, who intended to take her home, but her son discovered her and wanted to harm my aunt. The old lady told my aunt to leave quickly."

"Fortunately, my aunt had good luck. She followed a team heading to the northern wilderness for development and construction. She had lost her memory and accidentally got separated from the large group."

"Second Grandpa might have been confused, but he has saved countless lives. He must have accumulated a lot of good deeds, which also blessed my aunt, allowing her to safely arrive at Pear Tree Brigade and then marry my uncle."

"Second Grandpa, who invited the wolf into the house, you must not believe a word this woman says. Not only is my aunt not happy to find you, but she also curses continuously at home. She wishes for my aunt to die, so there won’t be anyone annoying around you."

"How can I remind Second Grandpa?"

At that moment, Old Mr. Ji understood everything he hadn’t before.

Little Nuan has the ability to prophesy the future; no wonder, no wonder...

Finally, Old Mr. Ji caught his breath and looked at Wei Qingmei with murderous intent in his eyes.

Wei Qingmei remained kneeling on the ground, her head lowered, not seeing the murderous gaze of Old Mr. Ji, as if he were about to kill someone.

After a few moments, Old Mr. Ji finally managed to contain his anger and murderous intent.

Wei Qingmei, you ingrate, I will make sure you die a horrible death!

He said to Wei Qingmei, "Stop kneeling there. I’ll be returning to Beidu after a while, so don’t bring up the matter of reopening our sect. It’s just inviting ridicule. Let’s leave things as they are for now. You’ve achieved something remarkable, so you should cherish this hard-earned opportunity."

Then he said to Xiao Dizi, "Take Director Wei out."

Xiao Dizi hurried over, helping Wei Qingmei up with a forceful lift. Unaware of the inside story, he spoke kindly, "I insisted on staying here, but you shouldn’t do this. Let’s talk about it when we get back. After all, we’re in the same city."

Wei Qingmei was crying very sadly, covering her face as she walked out.

Naturally, she didn’t see Song Yunuan standing behind the tree.

Song Yunuan ran over, looked at Old Mr. Ji with an enraged expression, and said furiously, "Second Grandpa, this woman is on good terms with Shangguan Yunqi. She’s siding with that old woman; this won’t do. Anyone who’s friends with Shangguan Yunqi is my enemy. If you still acknowledge her, I won’t call you Second Grandpa, and I will kick you out of the grandpa team. Do you believe me?"

Old Mr. Ji could only offer a helpless wry smile. Then he thought that perhaps his good deeds from saving and helping people did have merit, which is why it blessed his daughter and led him to meet Little Nuan, right?

He immediately said, "Rest assured, I promise I won’t let her come back. Plus, your aunt’s matter is still not cleared up; I have to be cautious of them all."

Song Yunuan immediately nodded, giving a thumbs up, "Second Grandpa, you are wise. Anyone who can be friends with Shangguan Yunqi is of ill intent by nature. It’s possible she’s the one who harmed my aunt. Even without evidence, I’m not scared. We will use the process of elimination, get rid of them one by one. It might just be her."

Old Mr. Ji’s gaze darkened, and he clenched his hands tightly but had to pretend to ask Song Yunuan, "Did your elder brother figure this out?"

Song Yunuan immediately shook her head, "I don’t let my big brother read fortunes at will. This is my own analysis."

Old Mr. Ji said, "Doesn’t analyzing such things tire out your brain?"

He also wondered whether this kind of heaven-scrying prophecy would affect Little Nuan.

Song Yunuan truly considered how she felt and then shook her head, "No effect. I made the analysis based on my personal likes and dislikes."

Old Mr. Ji said, "I know. I’m going back this time specifically to investigate the truth about what happened back then. Your aunt may be safe, but she has suffered. I will find out the truth of what happened that year."

Xiao Dizi just came in, "Master, I’ll help you investigate."

Old Mr. Ji waved his hand, indicating for him to pack up his things.

At that moment Old Man Song arrived with a horse-drawn carriage to pick up Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan didn’t linger. She warned Old Mr. Ji to be careful of everyone around him; after all, you can’t see what’s in a person’s heart. All his disciples were suspects, including Xiao Dizi.

Which got Xiao Dizi so angry that he hopped up and down!
