Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 24 The sky is falling

"No, you have to go find Song Yan. If something happened to your brother, that would be terrible." Mother Bai continued, pushing, "My heart is pounding with anxiety. Get up and go find Song Yan—"

Bai Siqi was unwilling, but her loving mother couldn't resist and pulled off her blanket.

She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep anymore, so she got up—
Song Yan was pleasantly surprised to see Bai Siqi arrive so early in the morning.

"Daughter-in-law, why are you here?"

Bai Siqi immediately glared at him, suppressing her anger, and said, "Didn't I tell you not to call me 'wife'? We're officially divorced."

Song Yan pursed his lips.

Bai Siqi didn't get enough sleep today, and she's still in a bad mood, so she doesn't have time to say sweet things.

She said directly to him, "By the way, my brother didn't come home all night last night, and my mom is worried about him. You should go and look for him."

Upon hearing this, Song Yan nodded, "Okay!"

He was supposed to go find that person last night, but the three children cried uncontrollably.

One of them even had a fever.

He couldn't appease his sister, so he had to be the one to do it.

So I didn't have time to think about it.

"Then I'll leave this to you. I'll be going now." Bai Siqi heard the child crying loudly inside and felt she couldn't stay any longer.

Otherwise, Song Yan would definitely have asked her to take care of the child.

Song Yan did indeed have this idea.

The child is sick, and he wanted Bai Siqi, the mother, to go and see the child.

He then saw Bai Siqi walk away very quickly, before he could even say anything.

As soon as he got home, he was met by his younger sister, who was holding the baby and looked resentful. "Brother, did Bai Siqi come by just now? Why didn't she come in to check on her child? Is she deaf and didn't she hear the baby crying so hard?"

Song Anxiao was furious.

This is all due to raising children.

I didn't sleep a wink last night, and even though Bai Siqi, the child's biological mother, knew the child was crying so hard, she didn't come in to comfort her.

I'm so angry!

I've never seen a mother like this before. Song Yan couldn't stand hearing his younger sister scold Bai Siqi like that, and his face immediately darkened. "That's your sister-in-law."

"Pah, what sister-in-law? She's divorced from you, what sister-in-law? Besides, this is your child. Even if you're divorced, she can't just abandon the child."

"Those who know me will think I'm the sister-in-law, but those who don't will think I'm the mother!"

Song Anxiao was really furious.

She's an unmarried woman! Why is she taking care of three children for them?
Furthermore, not only do she have to care for her three children, but she also has to take care of her paralyzed mother—she doesn't want to stay in this house anymore.

Song Yan couldn't tell her that his divorce from Bai Siqi was just a sham.

Furthermore, he couldn't tell Bai Siqi his plans.

"You've worked hard these past few days. Here's twenty yuan, please take it."

He took out twenty from his pocket and handed it over.

Song Anxiao: ...

He silently accepted the money.

Then she went back to soothing the child.

Song Yan rubbed his temples.

He then turned and left.

It wasn't until noon that he arrived at the Bai family's house, looking quite unwell.

Bai's mother had been worried about her son, and as soon as she saw Song Yan arrive, she asked directly, "How is it?"

Song Yan pursed his lips, then told her some heartbreaking news, "Chunsheng has been arrested."

"What? Arrested? Impossible, how could my Chunsheng be arrested?" Bai's mother was shocked and couldn't accept it.

“I’ve heard that this matter might be a bit troublesome. Chunsheng was arrested last night. Most importantly, he confessed—he admitted that he gave Wang Ergou twenty yuan and then asked Wang Ergou to push Fu Mingxue into the river.”

"Both of them admitted it and implicated the other."

Upon hearing this, Bai's mother nearly fainted.

Bai Siqi, who was not far away, also looked pale—would her older brother expose her as well?
