The next morning, Qin Shuli drove Wang Yueshu to work. Along the way, he kept a watchful eye on his surroundings. He did indeed notice some unusual activity, but those people only observed from a distance and never approached, so he could not confirm their identities and eventually let it go.
After chatting with Ye Qing at the Property Management Committee for a while, he returned to the Siheyuan to collect the gifts he had prepared in Hong Kong. He then took Qin Shuping and his younger sister and drove to Number 4 Beiluogu Lane.
This Siheyuan was a three-courtyard complex. Qin Dahai’s family lived in the east wing of the front courtyard, while the west wing had been prepared by Wang Yueshu for Qin Laogen and Qin Dashan. To make space for Qin Dashan’s family, Wang Yueshu had helped the original residents of the west wing move into a larger house. This was no small feat, as Wang Yueshu couldn’t have managed it on her own—the government had only just started issuing salaries, she had very little money on hand, and property in Four-Nine City was quite expensive. She had to use the money Qin Shuli had left behind. Only after hearing that their eldest grandson had paid for the house did Qin Laogen and Chen Yu agree to come to Four-Nine City.
