Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 645 - 623: Coming to the Door

She only said that her husband is a drunkard, who beats her whenever he drinks. Her daughter couldn’t stand it and brought her out.

She also said that her husband was seen wandering around their neighborhood a few days ago. She was scared and didn’t want her husband to find her.

Qiu Hualan thought that saying this would make Du Guangjun stay away from her as a married woman, but unexpectedly, Du Guangjun felt even more sympathy for her and cared more about her affairs.

He even promised that he wouldn’t let her husband find her, saying he had a vacant house in the suburbs and if she felt uneasy here, she could stay there for a while.

...

When Du Guangjun asked around the neighborhood, he soon found out if anyone was at her home; Lin Wan didn’t want to deal with Ye Weijun’s matters.

After knowing this, Lin Wan quickly told Shi Lan, "If he comes here and keeps knocking, just say this place has already been sold to you, and we moved to Z City as a whole family."

After Lin Wan finished speaking, she hurriedly called Xiao Gu. The store had just installed a phone a few days ago, and this was the first time she was using it.

They had just finished eating two chickens. Their hands hadn’t even had time to wash when there was a knock at the door.

"Ignore it, let them knock as much as they want, wait a bit before going out."

...

Ye Weijun knocked on the door of Liang Hongmei’s yard for ten minutes, but no one answered. He thought Liang Hongmei wasn’t home; everyone in the village knew Liang Hongmei had such a big store.

If he’d known earlier, he’d have gone to the store directly to find her, maybe even gotten a meal out of it.

Since he was already here, Ye Weijun decided to check Lin Wan’s yard.

Who knew that after knocking for a long time, there was still no response.

Just as he was about to leave, Su Ling came out casually, "What are you doing here? Who are you?"

Ye Weijun was about to be happy, thinking the person was Lin Wan, but saw it wasn’t her.

Ye Weijun thought it was someone from Lin Wan’s husband’s family and quickly smiled, "Excuse me, is this Lin Wan’s house?"

"Lin Wan? Who’s that? There’s no one by that name here." Su Ling replied coldly, with a look that said ’strangers keep out.’

"This... This is obviously Lin Wan’s home, Liang Hongmei, yes, Liang Hongmei’s daughter."

Su Ling furrowed her brow, pretending ignorance, "Who’s Liang Hongmei?... Oh, you’re talking about the previous owner of our house, right? Well, they have all moved to Z City. You might not know, her husband returned home, and he’s from Z City."

"What... the house has been sold?"

"The whole family isn’t here anymore, is it going to stay empty just for show?" Su Ling said with a small-town attitude.

"Don’t they have a big restaurant here?"

"I don’t know about that."

Ye Weijun felt frustrated at getting such an outcome.

He gave Su Ling an awkward smile and turned to leave.

He hadn’t gone far when he started swearing under his breath. Su Ling leaned out to see he’d walked away before turning back inside, "These Ye Family members are no good. A woman with a child isn’t safe."

"Gone?" Yin Peibai and Shi Lan asked curiously.

Su Ling nodded, and the two finally felt at ease.

Lin Wan wasn’t bothered, laughed and said, "Why be afraid, when I have you all here."

"True, we’ve been staying with you these nights."

Just taking advantage of rush work, they stayed overnight to finish making clothes.

In the snowy weather, during military times, people trained outside every day and had to exhaustingly dry their clothes when returning. If not dry, they’d have to wear them to train the next day.

So, the demand was urgent; that day Brother Wu sent them off, and they were ordered right there.

Sixty yuan for a set of clothes, Lin Wan’s cost was thirty, adding fifteen to each set, Brother Wu added another fifteen.

The profits were considerable.

In a few days, making more than one thousand yuan could be considered an extra income.

Ye Weijun couldn’t find anyone; his money was nearly spent. Originally wanting to return directly, he thought he couldn’t let it end like this.

He was nearly out of money for food, he had to find someone he knew to borrow some money.

So Ye Weijun went to Liang Hongmei’s store again; it was here not long ago, now suddenly no trace, Ye Weijun decided to check the hot pot restaurant. Who knew the hot pot restaurant wasn’t Liang Hongmei’s, and the staff didn’t know her.

Seeing such a big restaurant with people coming and going, it must make a lot of money; by the end of the day, it might be more than a thousand.

Liang Weixiang clearly said it was Liang Hongmei’s, maybe something wasn’t true?

Ye Weijun watched people eat with enthusiasm, mouth watering.

Touching his pocket, only twenty-plus yuan remained; if he couldn’t find anyone soon, he wouldn’t even have money for a train ticket.

Ye Weijun pulled back some sanity, went out to eat a three-cent large pot dish, ate two buns, totaling five cents.

After eating, he walked towards the outskirts...

....

In the evening, a few women stewed some noodles with meat slices. Su Ling made a dozen potstickers. As they were enjoying the food, Li Jianye and Li Congnan arrived.

"Brother Jianye, Brother Congnan, why are you here at this time? Have you eaten?" Shi Lan was surprised as she opened the door and led them in. Lin Wan asked.

"After work today, my father-in-law said someone asked if our factory belonged to Lin Yinghui. Without thinking much, he said yes. Then they asked for your address, where your store was, and whether you moved, my father-in-law thought they sounded like people from your area, assuming it was a fellow looking for you." Li Jianye finished and shook his head helplessly, "My father-in-law, being helpful, told them everything. After work, while we were eating, he mentioned it. I thought something wasn’t right, so after dinner, I brought Brother Congnan over to check."

Lin Wan finished listening, slapped her forehead, "I was careless, forgot to call you. I know the person; it’s Ye Qing’s dad. He came looking for Ye Qing and her mother; since he couldn’t find them, he sought our help. This old man is troublesome, I’m cautious of him. He already visited us, and Su Ling sent him away. Then he went to our store and Xiao Gu sent him away. I didn’t think he got the brewery address."

"Ye Qing’s dad, we definitely shouldn’t help him. If I’d been there, I would’ve caught him for a beating." Last time with Ah Hui’s issue, Li Congnan hadn’t found the real culprit for a beating; now the real culprit’s dad came.

"Right, catch him for a beating," Li Jianye agreed.

"You two, stop boasting. If you’re worried, stay tonight. Two men can guard us." Su Ling said cheerfully while eating.

Li Congnan smiled, "Sure, no problem."

"Haha, Brother Congnan, if Sister-in-law Yue’e has you kneeling on a washboard for staying tonight, don’t blame me," someone teased.

Li Congnan scratched his head embarrassedly, "Don’t worry, it won’t happen."

"Hey, what’s up today, why are you all staying?" Li Congnan asked puzzledly, seeing it was dark, and the women were still there.

"It’s true, we recently took a rush order, so we’re working hard."

"Oh, is there any help you need?"

"Ah, you’re really staying?"

"Uh-huh, staying a couple of days. I’m afraid Ye Qing’s dad knows about his daughter and might retaliate." Li Jianye said cautiously.

Lin Wan was about to say it wasn’t necessary when a knock came from outside.

They exchanged glances, and Su Ling gave them a reassuring look. She passed Tiger to Lin Wan and went out.

Cautiously looking through the door slit, seeing Zhang Hanfu, Su Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

As she opened the door, and the view widened, she saw Ye Weijun pacing in their alley.

Su Ling jolted, before Zhang Hanfu could speak, she drummed up and grabbed his arm, pulling him inside, "Hey you, why come home so late, everyone’s waiting for you to eat!"

Su Ling’s actions left Zhang Hanfu bewildered, not knowing what was happening.

"Su... Sister-in-law Su, what’s the situation?"

Su Ling covered her mouth to laugh, directed him inside, and pulled him along. Panic-stricken, Zhang Hanfu pulled away awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law Su, this isn’t good, I’ll walk in myself."

Zhang Hanfu’s reaction amused Su Ling, but pleased for Yin Peibai’s sake, at least Zhang Hanfu wasn’t a troublemaker.

"Hey, you got it all wrong; I did that because someone outside is watching. It was on purpose..." Su Ling outlined today’s events to Zhang Hanfu.

"Oh, that’s what it was."

Seeing Zhang Hanfu enter, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
