Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Her heart suddenly trembled, and a certain empty space seemed to be filled in an instant. With trembling hands, Su Wanwan excitedly opened the door of the radio station and rushed to the table.

Although she knew that it was possible that the wind blew the window open and then closed it again, and that the possibility of Xu Yan having been there was extremely small, Su Wanwan inexplicably believed it.

As she pulled open the table curtain, the basket of herbs that she had specially placed here last night disappeared!

Xu Yan had indeed been here!

There can't be anyone else!

If someone saw that the window of the radio station was not closed and climbed in through the window, it would be impossible for them to take away the basket of herbs without touching other things.

Suppressing her excited heart, Su Wanwan even had to cover her mouth with her hand to ensure that no sound was made.

No one knows how she spent the night after her father Su Yang said those words!

Especially when you toss and turn in bed in the middle of the night, and those horrific and terrifying images linger in your mind!

Now she finally let go of her worries.

Although there was still no news about Xu Yan and all kinds of rumors were still spreading in the village, with this strong fact, she believed that Xu Yan was capable of getting through this.

As usual, after a whole morning of broadcasting ended, Su Wanwan put down her storybook reluctantly and stood up to organize the contemporary quotations for lunch break.

"Have you heard? Mr. Xu from the clinic went home this morning."

Su Wanwan had just finished organizing the quotations of the times when the young people who had rushed over to record walked to the registration office in twos and threes.

Several of them were chatting while checking in.

"Of course I heard about it. It seems that because the third son of his family was arrested, he felt ashamed to continue living in the clinic, so he just went home." Another young man took over the registration form and answered casually.

"Oh, this old man Xu is really pitiful. If I were him, I would have killed this rebellious son long ago. Who would have thought that his son was a hidden speculator!"

There were many voices of discussion, but Su Wanwan could not hear many of them. There was only one sentence that kept repeating in her mind:

Old man Xu went home?

As far as she knew, there was a rumor at the health center a few days ago that Mr. Xu's lung disease had worsened...

Wouldn’t returning home suddenly make the condition worse?

Does Xu Yan know this news?

Looking at the backs of these young people who were lined up to record the Quotations of the Times, Su Wanwan felt inexplicably panicked.

After these people leave, she will find some time to visit the Xu family!

Maybe Xu Yan will also go back when he hears that his father has returned home seriously ill.

If he hadn't been captured.

"Wanwan, why do you look so absent-minded?"

A young man who had just finished recording the Quotations of the Times passed by the door, noticed Su Wanwan's expression, and asked casually.

I said a few perfunctorily to these people and watched as the last person who had finished recording the Quotations of the Times left. Su Wanwan hurriedly gathered the manuscripts scattered on the table and put them all into a cloth bag without sorting them out.

At the same time, my mother Zhao Ying also came over with a lunch box. I had to send my mother away a few more words. Watching Zhao Ying's back disappear from my sight, Su Wanwan put her bag and lunch box together and quietly locked the door of the radio station.

Then he quickly walked towards Xu's house.

"Dad! Why are you so stubborn? Xu Yan can do whatever he wants. You just need to stay in the clinic. The medicine we got from the county last time hasn't been used up yet. You've been coughing so badly these past two days. If you come back like this, do you not care about your own health?"

The village was as quiet as usual in the afternoon. There was no other sound except the chirping of cicadas and various birds on the roadside. Su Wanwan walked hurriedly to the door of Xu's house. Before she entered, she heard the voice of her second sister Xu Mei outside the door.

"Speak softly, what if someone hears it?" Eldest sister Xu Lan advised softly.

But his face was also full of sadness.

"Where is Xu En?" Old man Xu was sitting on the kang, his face red and panting. He searched the room for a moment and suddenly asked.

"Dad, what do you want to talk to him about? How many times has he visited you since you moved into the clinic? Aren't my elder sister and I taking care of you every day? Besides, since Zhong Qingqing stopped cooking for our family, aren't my elder sister and I busy cooking for the whole family every day? He's so old, but he's still an ignorant child who doesn't even understand the ways of the world. What do you want to talk to him about?"

Angry at the fact that Old Man Xu insisted on going home, the second sister Xu Mei vented out what she had usually kept in her heart without any scruples.

Old Man Xu's face turned even redder.

"Say it again! Is this how you treat your brother? How old is he? You want him to bear the burden of this family? Then what's the point of having you two sisters?"

Although his cough was getting more and more severe and he had to cough violently after saying a few words, Old Man Xu was like someone had stepped on his tail. He coughed violently several times in a row but insisted on finishing what he said.

Xu Mei was so frightened by her father's appearance that she was speechless for a moment.

His eyes were full of fear.

Xu Mei's elder sister Xu Lan patted Xu Mei's back gently and suddenly sighed, "Dad, why can't you understand what is important and what is not important? The most important thing now is your health. If you are healthy, won't everything be fine? Why do you have to look for Xu En?"

Old man Xu was completely indifferent to what the eldest brother Xu Lan said. He coughed twice as if he wanted to cough out his internal organs. "During the time I was away from home, cough cough...you treated your brother...so inhumanely!"

"Dad, what do you mean by human smell? Knowing that you were going to go home this morning, Xu En got up early and ran out early in the morning. I asked him why he ran out, and he said that you had been sick for too long and the smell on your body was too strong, and he would be easily suffocated by you at home." The eldest sister Xu Lan, who had also been patient for a long time, did not speak as excitedly as Xu Mei. It seemed that she was stating something that had nothing to do with her, but every word seemed to pierce the heart of Old Man Xu——

"When you were staying at the clinic, you woke up every day to ask if Xu En had come. How could he possibly come to see you? He would sleep at home until the afternoon every day, and when he woke up he would start rummaging through boxes and cupboards to find food, or go out and have fun with others. How could he have time to think about you?"

Standing at the door and hearing what the Xu family said, Su Wanwan immediately stopped walking - it seemed that Xu Yan was not at home.

Old Man Xu’s condition was indeed similar to what was being rumored in the village—not much better.

"Even if Xu En is worthless in your eyes, he is still my only son!"

Su Wanwan had just started to walk back when she heard Old Man Xu's words, and her steps froze again.

"Dad, what are you saying? Even though the third child has been taken away, you can't say that, right?" This time, Xu Lan and Xu Mei persuaded in unison.
