A chaotic house, a perfect couple

Both of them had their own ulterior motives, and for a moment no one spoke.

Ren Xiaosheng felt that this old lady was like the director of the supply and marketing cooperative last time; she had no ill intentions towards him. He didn't know who she was to the Shen or Su family.

However, there is no doubt that both the woman and the director of the supply and marketing cooperative were people who knew about their "potential" family of origin, and were probably extremely familiar with them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't ask about the same surname as me as soon as they see my face.

Perhaps starting with them would be a breakthrough. It's a more specific target than investigating based solely on the names of a few pregnant women at the hospital.

Just as Ren Xiaosheng was wondering whether he should try to get information out of the old lady or go back to the supply and marketing cooperative and try to get some information out of the director, he realized that...

Suddenly, Mrs. Shen cried out "Ouch!" and swayed slightly. "Young man, I'm still feeling a little unwell. Could you please take me to the hospital?" she said weakly.

She changed her mind!

We can't let this young man go!

She needed to find out the situation before going back to tell Manqing and the others.

However, perhaps because she was anxious, the old lady overdid it and her acting became a bit exaggerated.

She kept rubbing her forehead, saying "Ouch!" and occasionally peeking through her fingers at Ren Xiaosheng's expression, afraid that he might be too lazy to take her to the hospital.

Thinking to myself that my move was unwise, what if this person was not enthusiastic and did not want to get involved in the trouble of sending me to the hospital?

Ren Xiaosheng: "..."

Should he pretend to be blind at this point, or pretend to be blind?

His lips twitched. "Grandma, would you like to recall what you just said? Who was it that said they were alright?"

This acting is so half-hearted.

Fortunately, Ren Xiaosheng also wanted to get some information out of the old lady, so instead of exposing her, he went along with her and pretended to be anxious, "Oh dear, ma'am, it's no small matter if you're not feeling well at your age! You need to go to the hospital right away!"

"I'll take you to the hospital right away! Hold me up, please don't fall."

After saying that, he squatted down in front of the old lady and, before she could react, swiftly pulled her onto his back and quickly carried her to the nearest hospital.

Grandma Shen, who was inexplicably carried on someone's back: "..."

It always feels a little weird.

Did you agree too easily?

She glanced suspiciously at the young man who was carrying her forward with a look of anxiety on his face, but didn't notice anything unusual.

It wasn't until she had followed the young man for a while, panting and taking two steps at a time, that Grandma Shen realized she was getting a bit uncomfortable.

Eh? No!

I'm still a patient myself, why is this kid walking so fast?!

She was jolted again by the young man's protruding shoulder blades and couldn't help but call out, "Hey, young man, slow down! This old woman is too old to handle this kind of jolting!"

Unfortunately, Ren Xiaosheng was so anxious and focused on getting the unwell old lady to the hospital as soon as possible that he couldn't understand her intentions.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll get you to the hospital as soon as possible!"

Grandma Shen: "..."

No, is that what she meant?!

When the two arrived at the hospital, Mrs. Shen was already completely disoriented from the jostling.

She was dizzy and pale: This kid! This kid! If he didn't genuinely not know anything, she would have suspected that he was deliberately walking so fast!

Don't you know how to take care of this old lady? Huh?

Fortunately, it wasn't all for naught; at least she found out a lot about the young man's life. She learned that he lived in Xiaohuaihua Hutong, was the eldest son in his family, had two younger brothers, his father worked in a machinery factory, and he himself was a sent-down youth who was not well-liked by his family and had always been a bitter child.

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Shen looked at Ren Xiaosheng with even more affection.

He's a pitiful person, unloved by his father and mother, and has never had a good life since childhood. But he stepped forward the moment he saw someone in need of help. He's a really good kid.

Ren Xiaosheng learned from the old lady that her surname was Jiang, her husband's surname was Shen, and she had two sons and two daughters. Her youngest daughter's husband's surname was Su. As for what her family did, the old lady was shrewd; she only said that most of her family members worked for the government, and didn't say anything more. Even so, Ren Xiaosheng was quite satisfied, because when he heard the surname "Shen," he immediately thought of the pregnant woman in the hospital records who gave birth on the same day as Guan Ailian, Shen Manqing.

Could these two "Shen" be the same person?

A thoughtful look flashed in Ren Xiaosheng's eyes. It seemed he still had to try and probe the supply and marketing cooperative.

He couldn't just ask the old woman rashly, otherwise how could he explain that she knew the name Shen Manqing? Judging from the old woman's clothes, she was clearly well-off, and if he asked her rashly, she might think he had ulterior motives.

Just as I was about to think about it, I suddenly felt a warm pat on the back of my hand.

Ren Xiaosheng looked up in slight surprise and saw Old Madam Shen looking at him with kind eyes.

“My child, thank you so much for bringing this old woman to the hospital. I’m sorry to have troubled you all the way. Could you please go to the government’s residential compound for me and let my son know so that he can come and pay my medical bills? That way, my son can properly thank you. I can’t let you go to all this trouble for nothing.”

We should let the eldest son take a look at the boy's appearance. He's shrewd and will surely be able to find something out.

Grandma Shen looked at Ren Xiaosheng expectantly, hoping he would agree.

Ren Xiaosheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Grandma, I'll go and call your son over, but there's no need for thanks. I didn't bring you to the hospital for this. In that situation, even someone else would have helped."

Perfect, he can also meet the Shen family and see if his suspicions can be confirmed.

While the two at the hospital were testing each other, on the other side, in Xiangzhang Hutong, Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, upon seeing Chen Hongyun's eldest daughter's appearance, determined that she was not a member of the Ren family.

I no longer had the mind to stay and chat with these old men and women.

The two made up an excuse and quickly retreated from Xiangzhang Hutong.

On the way, Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng also mentioned the name "Shen Manqing".

Cheng Jiajia sighed: "I wonder how Brother Xiaosheng is doing at the Red Star Commune?"

"Actually, I think that possibility is unlikely. The woman who gave birth named 'Shen Manqing' is the most likely candidate."

"Didn't that head nurse Li say that this family is well-off and even brought a maid? The two families had a conflict before. Maybe Guan Ailian was just jealous of their family's good conditions, so she switched the baby."

"Only this makes sense; it's impossible to go through all that trouble only to end up sending your own child to the countryside."

In fact, Yu Junsheng also felt that this possibility was the most reasonable. "But we know nothing about this 'Shen Manqing' except for her name. Where are we supposed to find her?"

"Yes! That's right, the hardest part is right here."

Cheng Jiajia sighed again, feeling utterly hopeless.

Unbeknownst to the two, their brother Xiaosheng had almost infiltrated the "enemy" ranks after accidentally saving someone.

If I knew, I would definitely say: Holy crap, this luck is unbelievable!

……

Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng sighed all the way about the difficulties Ren Xiaosheng faced in his search for his relatives.

When I got back to the compound, I found that it was in chaos again.

The Third Hospital was packed with people, forming a circle, making a noisy scene where they were talking about something.

After the Calabash Brothers effect a few days ago, Cheng Jiajia's first thought was that someone in the yard was doing *that* with someone else.

The two exchanged a glance, and their previous sense of frustration vanished. They both perked up and became excited.

No way! No way?!

Are there people having illicit relationships in their compound?!

who? !

Who is it? !

They've been eating this much melon seedling by now, they're practically numb!

In the corners they don't know, how much more turmoil and passion, love and hate, lies hidden?

Despite saying that, Cheng Jiajia still held her belly with both hands and hurried away, "No, I have to go see! Let's see who's having this story we don't know about!"

Yu Junsheng was startled. Hadn't they said they were already tired of eating melons? Why were they still going?!

He hurriedly chased after her, worried, "Wife! Slow down, slow down! Be careful of your belly!"

"Remember not to get too close! Let's just watch the fun from a distance!"

Cheng Jiajia found him nagging, "I know, I know! I've seen so much excitement, don't you know the basics?"

"You're talking more and more!"

Yu Junsheng: “…”

He felt so wronged!

All I did was ask them a few words of concern, so why is my wife complaining about me?

Moreover, is it only the first time his wife has known how talkative he is?

Watching Cheng Jiajia leave him behind and run further and further away, Yu Junsheng suddenly felt a strange similarity to some of the men in the factory who started to dislike their wives after having children.

They're not just similar; if you swapped the genders, they'd be practically identical!

Does this mean his wife is already starting to dislike him even before the baby is born?

Yu Junsheng was jolted awake.

He unconsciously touched his face. He had been wandering around outside for the past two days, and the wind had roughened it up a bit. It didn't feel as smooth as before.

Is my wife impatient with me because she thinks I'm not as pretty as I used to be?

A sense of crisis suddenly rose in my heart.

No, he's only in his early twenties! He can't let his wife look down on him for being a "yellow-faced man"!

He noticed that right after they got married, his wife would often stare blankly at his face. He decided to start applying face cream tonight to take good care of his face!

Yu Junsheng suppressed his various thoughts and caught up with Cheng Jiajia.

"Hey honey, wait for me! Be careful not to get hit by someone!"

The two chased each other, but when they got closer, they realized that it wasn't the kind of tainted melon they had imagined.

Yu Junsheng swore! He hadn't misread it! A clear look of disappointment flashed across his wife's face.

Yu Junsheng: “…”

In front of the Bai family's gate in the Third Courtyard, clothes were scattered all over the ground. At first glance, they all belonged to middle-aged men, along with some personal belongings, which were also thrown around.

The mother and daughter, Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Zhenzhu, looked arrogant. Bai Zhenzhu said with an air of superiority, "Everyone is here. That's perfect. Please bear witness for us. From today onwards, we have nothing to do with this man surnamed Qin! Whether he lives or dies is none of our business!"

The surrounding crowd buzzed and began to murmur.

Then someone who had always disliked Bai Zhenzhu spoke up.

"What do you mean, Bai Zhenzhu? Aren't you and Lao Qin a couple? Why are you kicking him out? Lao Qin divorced his wife for you. What you're doing is not kind of you."

"That's right. Old Qin has been so good to you. He even abandoned Aunt Yan, who had worked so hard for him for many years, and his children for you. Now that something has happened, before anything has even happened, you've already thrown all his things out? That's so heartless!"

"That's right, that's right. You were so powerful back then, forcing Lao Yan to abandon his wife and children to marry you. After marriage, you handed over all your salary except for the children. Now that Lao Yan has just been taken away for investigation, you can't wait to kick him out?"

Bai Zhenzhu glanced at the person who spoke, raised her chin, and said, "When the newspaper opens tomorrow, I'll go and publish a divorce notice in the newspaper and sever all ties with him!"
