Chapter Forty-two: The Widows Plea for Help (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  I heard that the fourth place on the new book chart is a beauty, how about we explode her chrysanthemum and see if she updates five chapters by tomorrow morning.

  The house buying process went very smoothly, and in less than a week, Song Baiyu had bought a villa for his older sister in the Dingxiang community, which was a renovated second-hand villa adjacent to Song Baiyu's own villa.

  Knowing that Song Baiyu was "short of money", Song Yuqing paid the villa's payment in advance to Song Baiyu, which made the more than 20 million yuan in cash that Li Chenmu had specially sent over unable to be used. However, Song Baiyu was also happy about this, saving himself the trouble of explaining the source of the huge amount of money.

  Song Baiyu renovated the villa according to his older sister's hobbies, simply transforming it into a European countryside style with a milky white color, and then handed over the keys of the villa to his older sister.

  Song Yuqing was very satisfied with the new villa, repeatedly praising Song Boyu's good taste. Overjoyed, she rewarded Song Boyu with tens of thousands of yuan in spending money, leaving him both touched and slightly bitter. This older sister is great in every way, except for one thing - she always treats herself like a child who never grew up.

  "You're so enthusiastic about buying me a house, I wonder if you want me to move out of your villa as soon as possible?" Song Yuqing asked unexpectedly after the move was completed.

  Song Baiyu was shocked to hear this, thinking how his sister had discovered his intentions. However, when he saw the mischievous grin on her face, he realized she was just joking with him. He couldn't help but say with a smile: "No way, I know you have a habit of living alone, I'm just afraid you'll be uncomfortable staying at my place."

  Song Yuqing was taken aback, never expecting to be right. Song Boyu indeed did not want to live with Song Yuqing, the reason being simple: whether it was tempering his bones or practicing Chunqiu's decisive martial skills, it would make a lot of noise, and as for the secrets of gathering spirits and cultivating truth, Song Boyu didn't want anyone to know.

  "Hmph, you don't dare to drive me away either." Seeing Song Baiyu's embarrassed expression, Song Yuqing's face revealed a triumphant smile, but soon she furrowed her brow: "Baiyu, there are too few potted landscapes in this room, and they're ugly too. They can't compare to the ones at your house."

  "Sister, you can't eat a meal in one bite. It's already fast enough that I can help you complete the house transfer and renovation procedures within such a short period of time. The bonsai tree is not urgent, I'll take my time to dig it up for you, and finally, I will definitely make you satisfied." Song Baiyu heard his older sister mention the bonsai tree, he touched his nose, and indeed almost forgot about this matter.

  "Haha, I know you're working hard." Hearing Song Baiyu's complaints, Song Yuqing smiled awkwardly and asked with concern: "Has Tingting been in touch with you lately?"

  Seeing Song Baiyu shake his head, a hint of disappointment flashed across Song Yuqing's face. "That girl won't be backing out now, will she? It would be such a pity if that were the case. But anyway, Baiyu, have you gone to see her these past few days? A girl needs to maintain some reserve after all."

  "Give her some time to calm down first, if she can't get over this hurdle in her heart, then even if the two of us are together, we won't be happy." Song Baiyu said calmly.

  Song Yuanching was shocked by the words, how did his own brother suddenly change so much? Was he hurt too deeply by Zhou Yanran, to the point where he lost confidence in love?

  "This isn't something someone in love would say, how can you be so rational? Tell me the truth, do you have feelings for Su Tingting?" This matter relates to Song Baiyu's lifelong happiness, and Song Yuanqing cannot help but take it seriously.

  "Sister, I'm clear about my own affairs, so don't worry about it." Song Baiyu couldn't bear his sister's scrutinizing gaze anymore, and changed the subject: "I see you've been frowning lately, have you encountered some difficulties?"

  Song Yuanching sighed, "It's still because of the situation in Tuozi Village. The cement plant has gone bankrupt, but several hundred acres of land in Tuozi Village have also been abandoned. I don't know how to settle those 2,000 villagers. If things go on like this, there will be big problems sooner or later."

  Song Baiyu was silent upon hearing this, the village of Tuozi is adjacent to the western part of the city. Recently, the police station in Xicheng District arrested some thieves and vagrants, and after interrogation, they were all from Tuozi Village. It can be imagined how bad the situation in Tuozi Village was. If there was land to farm and fields to cultivate, how could those honest farmers possibly go thieving?

  "The villagers of Tuozi Village didn't get compensation from the cement factory, did they? They can easily go to the county town to do some small business." After hesitating for a moment, Song Baiyu expressed his own thoughts.

  "Bo Yu, the compensation from the cement plant is not even enough for them to treat their family members' illnesses, let alone doing business. Jin Yang City is just a county-level city, and I won't mention how small the market size is. Do you think those honest farmers can be a match for urban businessmen?"

  "We must solve the problem from the root, and cure those polluted lands...” Song Yuqing said as she walked towards the inner room, forgetting that Song Baiyu was still present in the house.

  Song Baiyu sighed, a workaholic is a workaholic, always bringing work matters home. This was not the first time Song Baiyu saw his older sister neglecting food and sleep because of work, so he didn't stop her but instead started thinking if there's any way he could help his sister solve the problem.

  “Wait, the root of all problems is the land. The land being polluted has led to withered crops and fruit trees, but ultimately it's still because of insufficient spiritual energy. With my own Spirit Gathering Array in hand, how can I worry about the land's spiritual energy being insufficient?” Thinking of this point, Song Baiyu became excited, but turning his idea into reality was a headache-inducing problem. He couldn't just foolishly run to his older sister and say he could gather spiritual energy, or else his atheist sister would think he was crazy.

  "Let's plan it well and give sister a surprise then!"

  With a mind made up, Song Baiyu began to wander out of the villa. Before coming up with a foolproof plan, Song Baiyu's top priority was to solve the potted landscape problem in his sister's villa, so that the potted landscapes at home would not be remembered by his sister.

  "You this monkey head, why not work properly and give me a call again? You see you every day only know how to look at your phone, send text messages... with this kind of situation, when can you get the true teachings from me......" The pleasant ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly sounded, Song Baiyu stared at the caller ID on the screen, and a pleased smile appeared on his face. He was just about to go buy a potted plant at Longqing Flower Shop, and the owner of Longqing Flower Shop called him.

  "Hey, sis, what's up?" Song Baiyu asked with concern after answering the phone. Hua Yuexiang never initiates contact on her own, and their relationship has always been a distant one. Song Baiyu only had Hua Yuexiang's number but had never dialed it before.

  "Bo Yu, something has happened at the flower shop. Maybe only you can help resolve this trouble. Can you come over?" As soon as the phone was answered, a soft and gentle voice with a Jiangnan accent came through, speaking quickly and anxiously, with a hint of urgency and panic.

  "Alright, I'm on my way!" Feeling the other party's urgent mood, Song Baiyu didn't dawdle either, hung up the phone and headed towards Changqing Flower Shop.

  The owner of the Evergreen Flower Shop is named Hua Yu Rong. Her husband was a detective at the City West Police Station and died in a massive police-robber confrontation five years ago. After her husband's death, Hua Yu Rong's life became very difficult. Eventually, his colleagues from the police station couldn't bear to see her struggling anymore, so they collectively raised tens of thousands of yuan and handed it over to Hua Yu Rong through the police station. With this money, she opened a flower shop and her life improved slightly.

  Five years have passed, and Hua Yue Rong has been running the flower shop independently without remarrying. Song Bo Yu is very clear that Hua Yue Rong did not remarry, not because she couldn't find a husband, but because she was worried about her elderly parents-in-law who were old and weak in body. In fact, Hua Yue Rong had no children, and with her delicate face and devilish figure, many people had secret designs on her.

  Deeply aware of the saying "a widow's doorstep is often beset with troubles", Huayue Rong would politely decline others' help, and over time gave people the impression that she was self-enclosed and aloof. In fact, she was just quiet and not good at speaking.

  After hearing about Hua Yue Rong's story, Song Bo Yu would prioritize buying potted plants from Chang Qing Flower Shop, which was a way of taking care of Hua Yue Rong's business. Occasionally, he would also offer some advice on flower and plant care, which left Song Bo Yu and the people from the police station in awe - Hua Yue Rong, who wouldn't bother with anyone else, surprisingly accepted his help graciously.
