Chapter 253: Small Report

The scene of her rescuing Aunt Xing from being surrounded by people throwing rotten vegetable leaves is still vivid in my mind, as is their stinking dwelling...

If this matter is not handled well, Song Tingnan thought, it was entirely possible that her uncle and she would become the subject of gossip and be pointed at.

In a more serious situation, their residences might be besieged, smeared, and they might even be driven out of the school by 'patriots'...

But my uncle shouldn't have suffered like this. He deserves recognition for his contributions. Is it because he wasn't registered? Or because he wasn't formally a member of the Party?

But in that war-torn era, and with my uncle's complicated family situation, if he openly became a Party member, he wouldn't be able to get through many checkpoints, let alone infiltrate the enemy. Besides, there were many unsung heroes back then, so why did my uncle live such a stifled life? Why did his talents have nowhere to be used?

Fortunately, Master Gao Haoran was a member of 'Dark Night' and had a record of it, otherwise... After thinking it over, Song Tingnan took advantage of Song Yanchu going out to buy groceries to call Master Gao Haoran, tell him about the matter, and ask him to come over.

“Okay, I’ll come in a couple of days. We can come together to collect the money. You can have Yan Chu prepare.” Gao Haoran readily agreed.

Song Tingnan thought to herself: This is just right, it's natural enough, and Uncle won't suspect that she's 'snitching'.

So it wasn't surprising when Song Yanchu saw Gao Haoran. "Ah Huo, I've prepared the money. Count it and see if it's enough. If not, you can go to another bank to withdraw more today."

Gao Haoran counted it seriously in front of him, "That's right, 80,000! With the money we've chipped in, the initial investment of 200,000 is enough. You'll take the lion's share. Xu Dong has already taken care of how it's allocated. He'll explain the details to you later."

"Okay, I trust you! I'll only contribute some money; you'll have to take care of everything else." Song Yanchu didn't mind.

Gao Haoran looked at Song Yanchu and thought: "She makes it sound so easy. Eighty thousand is just a little money. No wonder she's a 'second-generation rich kid'." This was a bit of a shock to Gao Haoran, who didn't care much about material possessions.

Song Yanchu felt uncomfortable being stared at and asked, "Ah Huo, there's nothing wrong with the money, why are you staring at me? Do I have flowers on my face?"

"Brother, you're rich, handsome, and incredibly talented. I'm so envious!" Gao Haoran finally spoke after a long pause, genuinely envious.

Song Yanchu teased, "What do you mean? Your tone is so sour, are you jealous?"

Gao Haoran nodded honestly, "Yes, you should do something, otherwise I'll feel unbalanced as someone who's close to you."

"Hahaha... Ah Huo, why do you always speak the truth? Look at you, so eager to enjoy your leisure time? Last year, Ting Nan and I were extremely busy, and this year I feel that your disciple is going to cause me some trouble again. I'm just waiting, so don't be envious."

When his master arrived, Ting Nan became bolder and, facing him directly, asked, "Uncle, do you want to be a teacher?"

Song Yanchu said, "I don't want to!"

Gao Haoran retorted: "You think so!"

Song Yanchu looked at Gao Haoran and said, "Thinking about it is useless!"

"If you want it, I can find a way!"

Hearing this, Nan was overjoyed and hurriedly urged, "Master, really? You have a way? What way? Tell me quickly!"

"Simple! Get rid of your uncle's inner demons, confront the problem head-on, make a big deal out of it, and then eliminate any future troubles!"

Knowing the literal meaning but not understanding, Ting Nan helped ask Song Yanchu the question that was on his mind: "Master, Master, this disciple is ignorant and wishes to hear the details!"
