Qian Shulan brought Hong Shunyou to Zhou's house. When Cao Dahua heard that she bought the job for only one hundred yuan, she was happy for her.
Qian Shulan thanked Cao Dahua with a grateful look on her face, "Big sister, if you hadn't informed me about this, I might have missed it."
Cao Dahua waved her hand, "Why are you being so polite to me? Besides, you have helped me a lot. You asked Xuemei to bring us so much food yesterday, and I am grateful to you in my heart."
Yesterday, Zhou Xuemei went to her parents' home, and Qian Shulan asked Zhou Xuemei to bring back 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes. Among all the relatives, Cao Dahua was the one who suited her temperament the most. She was very understanding of human relationships and liked him very much.
Qian Shulan exchanged pleasantries with her for a while and then said goodbye.
Cao Dahua didn't try to keep anyone else because, given their family's current situation, keeping her would attract too much attention.
Qian Shulan and Hong Shunyou walked out of Zhoujia Village. Qian Shulan noticed that Hong Shunyou didn't have anything in his hand. "Where is your gift?"
The child is moving away, why doesn’t he even take the gifts with him
Hong Shunyou smiled bitterly, "How can I be polite?"
Qian Shulan was so angry that she slapped him and said, "I think you deserve it! You are such a grown-up, with hands and feet, can't you take care of yourself? You have to ask others to care about you! You...ah!"
Qian Shulan turned her head away and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore! Sooner or later, she would be pissed off by this kind of crazy person.
When Hong Shunyou saw her walking forward angrily, he felt particularly warm in his heart.
Although this old lady has a bad temper, she is honest and says what she thinks, unlike Qiu Xiuhua who is hypocritical and pretentious.
It's just a pity that he didn't listen to her earlier. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost everything.
The two walked for more than half an hour, and then reached a fork in the road, where they separated.
Hong Shunyou took out a letter from his pocket and said, "Here is my work ID and a letter written by myself. Auntie, you can take these to the supply and marketing cooperative to complete the employment procedures."
Qian Shulan stared at him suspiciously, "What do you mean? Didn't you settle down in your manager's production team? Why don't you hand it over to me in person? Are you hiding something from me?"
Qian Shulan initially thought that the job was fine, as the child was also very pitiful. But now she heard something was clearly not right in his words, and she immediately became suspicious.
Hong Shunyou opened his mouth in surprise. He clearly didn't say anything, but the old lady was so sensitive to notice that something was wrong. Isn't it amazing
Perhaps his expression was too obvious, Qian Shulan stared deeply into his eyes.
Hong Shunyou suddenly felt like he had nowhere to hide. He looked away in panic, "The night I negotiated with them, I woke up at night and overheard Hong Shichang and Qiu Xiuhua talking. He said that when he found me, there was a letter in my swaddling clothes."
"Where's the letter?"
"They burned the letter a long time ago, but they mentioned an address, the Rose Mansion in Linjia Lane, Shanghai. I want to go and take a look."
Rose Mansion? Qian Shulan frowned unconsciously when she heard the name. This is the place of big capitalists? Is he going to die? "You?"
Perhaps noticing the change in her expression, Hong Shunyou hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm not planning to do anything. I'm helpless now, and the most precious thing is my life. I just want to know who gave birth to me. Although I know they are probably dead, I still want to take a look at the place where they lived. To put my mind at rest."
This man has a really soft heart. He has suffered so much before, but he can still look at life with a smile. This man has a tenacious vitality. Qian Shulan sighs that she is not as good as him.
Qian Shulan thought for a moment and took out some money from her pocket. "Since you insist on going to Shanghai, I can't help you with anything else. Take these two hundred yuan and use them first."
How could Hong Shunyou ask for her money again? He immediately declined.
Qian Shulan guessed that the salary he had received before was probably plundered by the shameless Hong family. What could he do with only 50 yuan to go to Shanghai? Seeing that he wanted to refuse, Qian Shulan sighed and said, "You lost 500 yuan on your job. I am taking advantage of you. You should take the 200 yuan and don't go hungry."
She thought for a moment and said, "There are usually scalpers in the alley opposite the department store. Take your money and go buy some tickets. Don't starve yourself to death."
Hong Shunyou was a little amused and helpless. How could he, a salesman in a supply and marketing cooperative, not know this
But he still gratefully agreed and accepted the money she handed over, thinking that he would return it to her when he had the chance.
When Qian Shulan saw him pick up the phone, she was about to turn around and leave.
Hong Shunyou called her hesitantly, "Auntie, Dana?"
Qian Shulan turned her head and looked at him, "I won't get involved in your affairs."
After waiting for a long time after she left, Hong Shunyou finally understood what she meant. Did she agree
Did she agree to his relationship with Dana? But he just smiled bitterly. What's the point of her agreeing
He has lost his job and he is not worthy of Dana. Does he want Dana to suffer with him? He doesn't have the nerve to do that!
Qian Shulan carefully avoided the mud formed after the snow melted.
As the day went on, the snow that had fallen overnight had melted quickly. The rain and snow that had finally come was quickly broken up by the sunny weather.
Looking at the weather like this, Qian Shulan is really worried that next year's drought will be more serious than this year.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice someone calling her from behind.
It wasn't until the carriage drove up beside her that she came to her senses.
Qian Shulan didn't expect to meet Qian Weihan on the way.
She was surprised, "Brother, where are you going so early in the morning?"
Qian Weihan pulled the reins and smiled at her, "Last night, your sister-in-law felt a little uncomfortable and vomited everything she ate. I was worried that something was wrong with her and the little one, so I took her to the hospital."
Qian Shulan glanced at Zhang Zhaodi in the carriage behind and saw that she was sleeping soundly in the carriage, wrapped tightly in a quilt.
Qian Shulan asked with some concern, "Is the child okay?"
Qian Weihan was in a good mood and waved his hands, "It's okay! It's just that the child is a little too noisy. It will be fine after a while. The doctor said it's normal."
Qian Shulan felt relieved. She sat next to Qian Weihan and told him about Hong Shunyou.
By the way, he also expressed his own guess, "Brother, I think Hong Shunyou's background is not simple. Maybe it was Hong Shichang who did it?"
The reason why she said it so decisively was because Hong Shichang's right and wrong value was 0. The system had previously given her a right and wrong value of less than five points, and 0 meant that she had killed someone with malicious intent.
Qian Weihan laughed. She came up with the conclusion so abruptly, which was a bit unreasonable. But her conclusion was right. "You are right!"
Seeing that Qian Weihan also agreed with her point of view, Qian Shulan was immediately happy, "Brother, think about it, since Hong Shunyou's biological parents are big capitalists, they would not abandon the child. Even if they wanted to find someone to adopt the child, they would give money to the family instead of abandoning him in the back mountain. Hongjia Village is a famous pile of dead bodies in later generations. Which biological parents are so cruel."
Qian Weihan shook his head helplessly. "Back then, people often got lost, so it wasn't uncommon. The most suspicious thing about Hong Shichang is that he actually said he brought the child home to raise. Is that possible? Food was so precious back then, no less than it is now. How could a selfish person like Hong Shichang be so kind as to raise someone else's child? He's just dreaming."
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment. She found that she had taken it for granted. If she saw a child abandoned there, her first reaction would be to take the child home and raise him. But there are so many cruel and vicious people in this world. They can definitely watch a child die.
Qian Weihan was right! This was the most suspicious part. The couple from the Hong family didn't seem like kind people.
Qian Shulan thought about it, then leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Brother, do you think I should give it a try?"
Qian Weihan understood immediately that she wanted to ask his mother to come out for help. He shook his head immediately, "Don't ask her to come out again. It will damage her cultivation if she comes to the mortal world. Besides, this happened so long ago. Even if you find out, what can you do? Hong Shunyou's parents are big capitalists. If they find out, Hong Shunyou will be criticized. Aren't you harming him?"
Qian Shulan was stunned by his scolding. She slapped her forehead! How could she forget such an important thing! In this era, class background is the most popular thing. Even if she really revealed the truth, it would not benefit Hong Shunyou at all, and it might even implicate him! She was so scared that her back was wet.
But she let the murderer go for nothing. Qian Shulan was a little unwilling, "Are we just going to let a murder suspect go for nothing?"
Qian Weihan was unwilling to accept it, but what did this have to do with him? "You should discuss this with Hong Shunyou before making a decision. After all, it is his family affair, and if he wants revenge, it will be done by him. We are outsiders after all."
Qian Shulan sighed. She held back from saying anything just now because she didn't want Hong Shunyou to get too excited.
If she told Hong Sunwoo, would he kill the Hong family for revenge? That would be his downfall!
If she came forward to investigate, she could even pretend to be mysterious and scare them so that the Hong family would tell the truth themselves.
But now it’s hard to back down.
It seems that this matter still needs to be decided by Hong Shunyou himself.
When they arrived at Wangjia Village, Qian Weihan woke Zhang Zhaodi up. She was pregnant, so Qian Weihan didn't dare to hold her, fearing that she would slip again.
Qian Shulan also got off the car, but when she got home she found that none of the adults were at home, only a few children were playing in the yard.
"Xiao Lian, where are your father and mother?"
Xiaolian, who was playing skipping rope with Xiaotao, looked up immediately when she heard her mother's voice, "Grandma, my cousin is missing. My father and mother have gone to look for him!"
Qian Shulan frowned. Zhengkang is missing
It was almost dark, where had he gone? She thought carefully about what happened last night. Zhengkang was normal, nothing unusual! Xiaofang didn't say she wanted to break up with him! He wouldn't run away from home!
Qian Shulan sat in the main room and waited for a long time, until it was almost dark, when these people came back one after another.
Wang Shouyi patted Wang Shouren on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother, don't worry too much. Zhengkang might have gone to play with someone else. He was just not at home for an afternoon."
Wang Shouren said nothing, but walked in with his head down. When he saw his mother sitting on the chair, he knelt down in front of her and cried, "Mom, Zhengkang is gone!"
Qian Shulan frowned, "What do you mean by kneeling?"
"If he comes back, I want to give him my job. Maybe Zhengkang ran away from home because he has no job? Mother, please agree!" Wang Shouren knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
He was forcing her? Qian Shulan was almost amused by him. She squinted her eyes and looked at him, her voice gradually colder, "What if I don't agree?"
Wang Shouren was about to reply when he heard someone outside shout, "Someone's dead in the canal!"
The author has something to say: Let me tell you in advance that Zhengkang didn’t run away from home, he just encountered some trouble!
