Chapter 22: Shock
"You're not going to let us live at home? Let's go to the train station and stay there!"

Ye Musong didn't let his wife speak... If she spoke, it would be a sin. If he spoke himself... he was her biological daughter after all.

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Tang. He knew in his heart that despite his mother's loud voice, it was his father who had the final say in this family... However, he was disappointed. Ye Tang was counting peanuts with his head down.

Seeing that Ye Tang didn't make any move, Zhou Ru felt that she had the cards in her hand: "Alright, you've grown in ability. If you have the guts, leave and don't come back!"

"Mom, Dad, let's go." Ye Musong didn't respond... If he did, his mother would never stop.

"Humph! You're using my grandson as a hostage. Do you think you can control me with this? I'm willing to give up my son, let alone my grandson."

Zhou Ru knew that her in-laws had no place for their daughter-in-law to live, otherwise they wouldn't have rushed to marry their daughter to her. She was sure that Ye Musong and his wife wanted to use their grandson to control her... Humph! Let the child and his parents suffer a little.

It was a cold day, and there were no entertainment activities. After dinner, the neighbors all hid in their houses. They said that people in Beijing loved to be lively, but in this kind of weather... who would want to watch the liveliness unless they were crazy? Besides, the eldest son of the Ye family was always scolded. Even if it was a movie... I was tired of watching it.

Ye Musong felt a little regretful when he walked out of the house: "Wife, there is no space at your mother's house. Do you really want to go to the train station?"

"Come with me!"

Yang Xue actually feels quite guilty now. She thought it was a good opportunity at that time, but now... she doesn't know how to deal with it.

It was not until the two of them got into the car that Yang Xue told Ye Musong hesitantly, "Xiaotian's aunt is back."

"What?" Ye Musong felt that he had heard it wrong.

"Mu Xue!"

Yang Xue rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "She went back to the capital to see a doctor. She arrived today."

Ye Musong was still confused: "Is Mu Xue really back? Why doesn't she go home to live?"

Yang Xue sneered: "Is there a place for her to live in this house? If she wants to see a doctor, can this place raise money for her or help her find a doctor?"

Ye Musong sighed... He couldn't say that his parents favored boys over girls, nor could he say that his parents favored their younger son.

Yang Xue glanced at him and spoke to her son in a low voice without further explanation.

……

Ye Muxue saw Aunt Liang off downstairs in the guesthouse... She gave Aunt Liang a bag of dried fruits she brought back from the Northeast to express her gratitude, and the old lady was so happy that she kept turning her head and waving.

Turning around, she went to the front desk to check out... When she arrived at Old Wu's door, she entered the space and brought out the bedding roll.

"Uncle Wu, these are some mountain products I brought from the Northeast. Try them."

The key had been given to Ye Muxue. She opened the door and went in directly, put her bedding and bag in the west wing, then took the mountain products to Old Wu to maintain their relationship and pay the coal money by the way.

"Ah."

Old Wu was very satisfied with her understanding and did not forget to give her some advice, "Do you know Liuhe Pagoda? There is a pigeon market there."

"I know." Ye Muxue nodded.

Old Wu stopped talking and concentrated on peeling pine nuts... Nowadays, nuts like pine nuts can be called "high-end pastries", and Old Wu has eaten them before... When the first pine nut kernel entered his mouth, Old Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and after chewing it for a few times, he quickly peeled the second pine nut in his hand!
The nuts that Ye Muxue brought this time were all produced in the space. Although they cannot be considered spiritual plants, the environment of the space is good and the rainfall contains abundant spiritual energy, so these fruits are naturally more delicious than ordinary nuts.

Ye Muxue looked at these houses. Except for the back house, each house had a stove. She took some coal from the coal pool in the yard and prepared to take it back to the house. "Eat at six o'clock every morning!" Old Wu's voice came from the main room.

"understood."

Ye Muxue agreed and went back to the house to light the stove... With her current strength, she wouldn't feel cold even if she didn't enter the space, but what if someone entered her house?
Although Old Wu had cleaned the room very well, Ye Muxue still used a few "cleaning techniques" to prevent any unclean things from entering the room before spreading her own bedding.

The doors and windows of this house have glass, but there are also curtains. Ye Muxue has placed her own spiritual imprints on the doors and windows - even if she is in space, she can detect in time when someone is looking for her.

Do I need a cloth at the gate of the yard?
Ye Muxue was a little hesitant... At this moment, there was a knock on the gate.

"What a coincidence?"

Ye Muxue muttered and went to open the door... But when she opened the gate, she looked at Ye Musong and his wife and the little person in their arms with some surprise: "Are you... so anxious?"

"Little sister, what disease do you have?" Ye Musong spoke almost at the same time, with a look of concern on his face.

A warm feeling welled up in Ye Muxue's heart... She had been lonely for more than two hundred years. Although she did not live in isolation, no one really cared about her like this.

"It is a... chronic disease that can only be recovered through slow nursing of the body."

Ye Muxue opened the door: "Come in quickly, it's too cold outside. Is this Xiaotian? Guess who I am?"

"You are my aunt!" Yang Xue must have reminded him in advance. The little boy stared at Ye Muxue with curiosity flashing in his eyes, which was completely different from the dullness in his previous life.

"Yes! I am your aunt."

Ye Muxue didn't have any gifts in her hand, so she took out 5 cents: "This is for Xiaotian to buy candy."

A two or three-year-old kid naturally couldn't spend money, but that didn't stop him from knowing the use of money. The little boy opened his mouth, grabbed the banknotes, and laughed happily: "Thank you, auntie!"

Ye Muxue pinched her nephew's cheek and said to Ye Musong who had just entered the courtyard: "I didn't expect you to move in so soon. Put all your luggage in the east wing, and then go meet Uncle Wu."

She noticed that Yang Xue's eyes were slightly red and swollen, and knew that there was some change at home, but she didn't ask. She just arranged them in the east wing and then took them to see Old Wu... Old Wu was not a nosy person. Since he had already agreed, it didn't make any difference whether they came a few days earlier or later. He just had to restate the request.

When Ye Musong and his wife went back to the house to light a fire and spread out their luggage, Ye Muxue came in with two bags of rice: "I brought two bags of rice to celebrate your housewarming."

……

Public Security Bureau, X County, Northeast China.

The police officers who had returned to the Public Security Bureau were all waiting for a result... Time passed by minute by minute, and suddenly there was a brake sound outside. Sun Li stood up and walked to the window to look out: "It's Lao Li and the others who are back!"

The forensic doctor also came in at the same time as Lao Li and others.

"Old Li, tell me about the search results first." Huo Hongbing took the initiative to take the lead this time.

Old Li was not surprised. He told his entourage to put the backpack on the table and open it. "Based on the clues found on the body, we found gold and most of the new banknotes, but more than one million old banknotes are missing. We plan to increase the search efforts tomorrow during the day."

"Have you found out the cause of their death?" Huo Hongbing looked at the forensic doctor.

"The cause of death of the four people is the same. The hearts of the bodies were ruptured and almost turned into a paste. There was no trace of scars on the surface." The forensic doctor showed a look of horror on his face.
