Xia Zhi also followed suit, jeering, “She’s just a country bumpkin, unable to endure hardship, isn’t she using this thod to acknowledge her ancestors and return to the clan?
Dad, I’m telling you, you only have us four, no one else should be acknowledged.”
Xia Bowen was very disappointed.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
These siblings are all older than Little Nuan, especially his youngest daughter, Xia Liying, who is not just a little bit worse compared to Little Nuan.
Xia Ming slamd the table and pointed at the foul-mouthed Xia Liying, “Shut your mouth!”
Acting tough at ho, in reality, is just a bully in the coop.
Song Yunuan is not an ordinary girl.
His sister is truly no match for her.
Even in speaking, she can’t compare to Song Yunuan’s quick-wittedness.
And you want to tear Song Yunuan’s mouth?
His voice trembled a bit, “Xia Liying, tell , is this the point?
Shouldn’t the focus be on what our mother actually did?”
Indeed, it was a dead end.
This ti, Xia Ming finally realized it.
If Xia Xindong isn’t released, Song Yunuan and her family will never let things be.
Father will lose face as well.
Moreover, Xia Xindong is a dical genius, who wouldn’t want to have control over such a person?
Why should outsiders benefit?
Especially Uncle, who holds a grudge against Father.
So, he must be released.
But then what about releasing him?
Xia Xindong will definitely not spare Mother.
That’s why Father said, let Mother surrender herself.
He even said this was Song Yunuan’s final concession.
That’s just outrageous.
But one cannot deny, it indeed seems to be the best solution.
Such a Song Yunuan, Xia Liying, you fool, still want to pull her hair?
anwhile, Xia Zhi suddenly spoke up, “Mom, aren’t you just the stereotypical wicked stepmother?”
Being publicly executed was already unbearable for Shangguan Yunqi; her son’s words made her vision go dark, and she fainted again.
—————–
The next morning.
A rainstorm from the night before had washed the trees till they were fresh and dripping with green.
The sky was clear and bright.
Song Yunuan received a phone call from Xia Bowen, telling her that Xia Xindong had started his journey back to Nanshan County Town.
He had already sent soone to et him halfway.
Four days later, Xia Xindong would return to Erdao River Village.
Song Yunuan sincerely complinted, “With an old hand at work, one is worth two!”
Xia Bowen gave a wry smile.
This old hand of his, if he didn’t die, he would at least be skinned!
Song Yunuan didn’t rush to tell her grandmother the news, preferring to wait until her uncle returned.
She mounted her bicycle and went to the county town.
Before going to the county town, she saw Chu Zizhou, hands behind his back, walking circles in the village.
Last night, every household had transplanted wildflowers.
They all used wicker baskets to dig up the wildflowers with soil and roots intact.
Looking at it now, it seems there will be no delay in the post-transplant growth.
Erdao River Village had a rich variety of wildflowers, including purple bellflowers, pink large-leaf plums, wild chrysanthemums, and red lilies.
And the colors were stunningly beautiful.
Song Yunuan’s ho was no different.
Then, the roads throughout the village were almost all smoothed out.
The speed of road repair was also incredibly fast.
Seeing soone under a tree at the doorway weaving straw hats, it was idle family mbers engaging in side businesses, while the strong labor force took care of the rice paddies.
The villagers had basically mastered the planting thods.
Technicians from the county were also tracking progress regularly.
Song Yunuan cycled around the village for inspection, and I have to say, even though the thatched cottages remained, the vibe was different, almost as if it hinted at a future agritainnt resort.
Song Yunuan greeted Chu Zizhou with a smile.
Then, she rode her bike towards the county town.
She was looking for Old Master Ji.
The matter at hand was about Xia Xindong.
This ti, Old Master Ji was once again agape and incredulous.
He looked at Song Yunuan with disbelief, “Is what you just told
true?”
Song Yunuan pursed her lips, “Second Grandpa, when have I ever lied to you?” She then elaborated, “As of now, my grandma and the others are still unaware, I’m planning to give them a surprise.
As for you, Second Grandpa, I’ve thought it over again and again.
In the end, I felt that given our grandparent-grandchild relationship, I must tell you, otherwise you would definitely take issue with
later.
But you need to be ntally prepared.
Although my little uncle is a dical genius, he grew up in a basent, so his nature is bound to be different from that of soone who grew up normally.
Whether or not he can continue to develop new drugs and cures after he cos back is still an unknown.”
Old Mr.
Ji nodded, showing understanding, yet still incredulous, “That miracle drug was really developed under the leadership of your little uncle?”
“Yes, absolutely true; if you don’t believe it, you can ask him yourself when my little uncle returns.”
Old Master Ji, excited, clenched his hands and paced back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, he stopped and said, “When that miracle drug ca out, your little uncle must have been only thirteen, right?”
Song Yunuan spread her hands, “Who knows, we don’t understand the world of geniuses.”
Old Master Ji asked, “Then what’s the deal with that A-009 he developed?”
“It’s said that a single injection can extend life by ten years.”
Old Master Ji narrowed his eyes.
“How far along is the research now?”
“I guess my little uncle must have realized that I threatened Shangguan Yunqi.
He also deduced that there’s a very high chance he’d be released.
He harbors resentnt; he can’t sit by and do nothing.
At the very least, he wants to teach the Shangguan siblings a lesson.
So, he initiated this rather impractical project.
Regardless of whether the drug is a pipe dream, if he says there’s progress, then there is progress, and if he says it’s one step away from success, then it’s one step away from success.”
“So you two are quite a pair, working together like that.”
Song Yunuan was radiant with delight, “Of course, he’s my little uncle after all.”
Both of them were quite cunning.
Old Master Ji asked seriously, “Can you tell
how you found out?”
Song Yunuan replied earnestly, “Unified response: I dread it all.”
Old Master Ji felt it was a redundant question.
He already knew the answer in his heart, yet he still asked.
It’s not like he’s naive.
Not to ntion the great waves of life, he had so knowledge of prodigies and extraordinary individuals.
Old Mr.
Ji said, “Little Nuan, have your little uncle call
when he gets back.”
Song Yunuan imdiately agreed, “Will do.”
With Second Grandpa here, no one dared to disturb her little uncle.
Indeed, in the afternoon, Xia Bowen received a phone call, informing him to not disturb Xia Xindong for the ti being.
Let nature take its course.
The caller was Dr.
Ji.
The legendary figure from Beidu in the early years, the imminent returning Dr.
Ji.
A man with true talent.
It’s a pity though…
It seems fate plays with people, maybe everything is destined.
Xia Bowen nodded in agreent.
He had anticipated this, so it wasn’t a surprise.
According to the girl’s way of thinking, she definitely wanted to secure a protector for Xia Xindong.
Because she never trusted him in the first place!
To say his heart wasn’t bitter would be a lie.
But it was a bed he had made himself.
He was just wondering how Little Nuan got to know Old Mr.
Ji?
Even if they both were in Nanshan County Town, there had to be a reason for their paths to cross, right?
