Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 544: Barren Land?

Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Barren Land?

Song Yunuan was taken aback.

Why would Little Ze come looking for her?

And he had even looked several times.

But the child was very close to her, maybe he wanted to play with her.

Thinking this, she would go to see Aunt Xiu and Little Ze tomorrow.

She brought gifts for both of them.

This time, Song Yunuan had also collected quite a few seashells.

Then Gu Huai’an somehow got hold of pearls, big and small, both smooth and irregular, and gave them all to her.

Song Yunuan, being strong, drilled holes in the pearls and strung them into several necklaces.

But she only gave two to Sister Hong Xia, with whom she had a good relationship.

These were from Gu Huai’an, so giving them to Sister Hong Xia was normal.

It wouldn’t be appropriate to give necklaces to others.

And there weren’t enough anyway.

She had made a dozen or so strands, including one for Aunt Xiu.

Song Yunuan said, "He is indeed a child from our hometown; his mother is my Aunt Xiu."

Seeing a glint in Chen Aijuan’s eye, she asked Song Yunuan, "Little Nuan, speaking of which, I still don’t know where your family is from."

All they knew was that Song Yunuan came from Beiquan Province.

To them, that seemed like a very distant place.

In the past, it was considered barren land.

In history books, it was also the place for exile in ancient times.

Song Yunuan was frank, "My family lives in Erdao River Village, Nanshan County Town."

Chen Aijuan and Shen Kexin exchanged glances.

Shen Kexin, who was quick with words, sincerely said, "But you don’t look like a country person at all."

Song Yunuan didn’t refute her, but said with a smile, "Actually, I was switched at birth, and it was only discovered last April, after which I was switched back. I grew up in the provincial city."

Both perked up immediately.

This was really quite extraordinary.

Was there still such a thing as babies being switched?

So, Song Yunuan gave them a brief explanation, stressing, "You better not tell others about this. Qin Siqi got into Beidu Agricultural University, and we’re all in the same city now. She really doesn’t like me bringing up these matters, nor does she want me to have any contact with the Qin family. My adoptive parents feel the same way, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, it’s best not to have any dealings with them. I have no choice but to listen to them."

Chen Aijuan and Shen Kexin looked at each other.

So, that was the story.

It seemed almost like something out of a storybook.

They both promised not to tell anyone else.

"What about telling Bian Haiying?"

"I’ll talk to her about it, or else she’ll find some fault again."

They nodded, for it indeed made sense.

As for Erdao River Village in Nanshan County Town, the two of them had no particular reaction.

Being in different circles meant they knew different things.

Meanwhile, Bian Haiying and Lin Han were in the pavilion, with no one around, and Bian Haiying couldn’t help but throw herself into Lin Han’s arms.

Lin Han couldn’t help but tightly embrace the beautiful girl.

With her soft and fragrant body in his arms, one looking up, the other looking down, it wasn’t their first time, they easily found each other’s lips, and then they kissed.

At that moment, they both wished they could melt into each other’s bodies.

It was a case of never being able to kiss enough, no matter how much they did.

Before Lin Han arrived, his wife had reminded him to come back early, saying that she had prepared foot-soaking water for him and was just waiting for him to come back and soak his feet. She also mentioned how hard he must be working because of all the overtime.

To say he wasn’t touched would be impossible, but he wasn’t much touched.

By this point, there seemed to be not much left to touch.

Lin Han was now caught between a rock and a hard place. Luo Shuxiu was capable and good at managing the household, but he truly liked the young, beautiful, passionate, and daring Bian Haiying.

But just then, with tears in his eyes, Lin Haoze burst out from behind the shadows of the trees, enraged.

The young boy, witnessing such a scene again, was trembling all over.

His tears fell pitter-patter as he snapped off a branch from a nearby tree, without a second thought, and swung it at Lin Han.

Unfortunately, Lin Han thought his son who had suddenly lashed out was aiming for Bian Haiying, so he intercepted him. An angry and embarrassed Lin Han’s face turned iron blue, but at the same time, his heart also pounded wildly.

The damn little brat, what is he trying to do, and how did he get here?

In an instant, Lin Han guessed it must have been Luo Shuxiu’s doing.

He grabbed Lin Haoze and fiercely scolded him.

At that time, Lin Haoze was not about to obediently head home, so as he struggled, the willow branch hit Bian Haiying’s face, leaving a bloody mark. Feeling the blood, Bian Haiying let out a terrified scream.

And then it alarmed a female classmate who happened to be passing by.

Back in the dormitory, Chen Aijuan was just about to ask something when the door was knocked, and someone outside called, "Chen Aijuan, are you in the dorm?"

The three of them were chatting cheerfully. Even though they were not familiar with Song Yunuan, the story-like event she shared had suddenly brought them closer together.

The three even talked about visiting Erdao River Village sometime, as the two of them were big-city people, born and raised in the city, curious and largely ignorant about rural life.

Song Yunuan readily agreed, saying she’d make them cornmeal cakes and fish in soy sauce, which was extremely delicious.

She made both of them nearly drool, with even the usually demure Chen Aijuan swallowing hard.

They had eaten cornmeal cakes, but never the ones made in a big iron pot with fish in soy sauce.

As they were talking, they heard the knocking at the door.

It was Ming Xin from next door.

Chen Aijuan hurried to open the door, and Ming Xin darted in, mysteriously closing the dorm door behind her before lowering her voice and saying, "...Your dormmate Bian Haiying seems to have been hit by Teacher Lin’s son, and now she’s headed to the school clinic. Teacher Lin asked me... to find you guys, um, let’s keep it down and go quietly. I... haven’t told anyone, and you guys need to keep it a secret too."

Song Yunuan had already jumped out of bed.

Today was Thursday, and unless there was something special, Lin Haoze would be at school for evening self-study. He started school early, already in the second year of junior high at twelve, and was very smart, always ranking first in exams. What on earth was going on?

Having put on her shoes, Song Yunuan grabbed Ming Xin and headed out the door.

Chen Aijuan and Shen Kexin also hurriedly followed.

In a deserted part of the path, Song Yunuan asked Ming Xin, "Where is Teacher Lin’s son now? How badly is Bian Haiying hurt? Oh right, how did you come to know about this?"

Ming Xin hadn’t thought too much about it and spoke frankly, "I just happened to pass by and saw it by Lake Ailian’s pavilion where there was no one around... I was the only one passing by when I saw Lin Han supporting Bian Haiying towards the clinic, and also saw Teacher Lin’s son crying... Bian Haiying was crying too, and Teacher Lin sent me here first to... find you..."

Inside, Ming Xin was also in turmoil, realizing that people had said Teacher Lin and Bian Haiying seemed to have a special relationship.

Seeing them today, it seemed to be true.

But she couldn’t say that; after all, he was a teacher, and Bian Haiying was a classmate from the same floor.

Besides, she hadn’t seen anything.

So, she gave a straightforward account to Song Yunuan, without any analysis or speculation.

Of course, this was also related to Teacher Lin’s instructions.
