"What are you doing!" Aunt Chen saw that he was abusing her, so she quickly pulled him away and lost her temper: "We are a family, and family members should help each other. I have never blamed you, and Chen Yuan has done the same. Why do you blame yourself? Isn't life like this? We all work together to get through the hardest time, and then we will have good days in the future!"
After she finished speaking, she tucked the quilt around the man on the bed, pursed her lips, and said anxiously, "I'll go look outside again. The ring road around the city is only this big..."
Yes, the ring road is this big, but for outsiders like them, it is as big as a maze.
Aunt Chen felt miserable and helpless, but she didn't want to share the pressure with him. She emphasized her tone, not knowing whether to encourage him or herself: "I can always find someone!"
Uncle Chen silently watched her pull the quilt over him, and suddenly said hoarsely: "How about calling Aunt He?"
He was talking about He Yujuan.
Their family came here from the county town, and they didn't know many people around the city. The only prominent people they knew were the Qiao family.
Aunt Chen's first reaction was to refuse, her brows furrowed. "You mean Aunt He? She... won't help, right?"
He Yujuan was a sarcastic and fussy person, and she looked down on poor relatives like them the most. When she worked as a helper in the Qiao family, she was often looked down upon.
I have already seen what I should have seen!
Uncle Chen looked tired, leaning there, and spoke in a low voice: "Our two families are relatives after all. She is your aunt and your mother's cousin. Chen Yuan is also her half-nephew. Blood is thicker than water. She was unwilling to help before, but maybe she will this time."
"I don't want to beg them." Aunt Chen turned her face away and spoke quickly and urgently.
"If there is a way, I don't want to ask for help, but it is too difficult to find someone with our connections in Raocheng. The Qiao family is the only one we know who can plead for mercy."
Aunt Chen turned around and looked at him again, her eyes slightly fixed, her hands clutching her clothes, and whispered, "Can't we just wait for Nian Nian to come back? Nian Nian has read a lot of books, maybe she can find a way to contact Chen Yuan..."
Uncle Chen interrupted her forcefully, "Niannian is only in her third year of high school! Don't forget that she is the same age as Yuan'er, and is also a half-grown child. How can we keep bothering her just because of a little favor we did in the past? We can solve this matter by ourselves, and it's best to solve it by ourselves. Why bother dragging her into this? If we don't ask her to do this, do you want her to ask the Qiao family for help?"
Aunt Chen was silent again.
Yes, if she didn't ask He Yujuan for help, she couldn't let Qiao Nian go and beg that family.
That family had abused Nian Nian so much in the past and kicked her out of the house, so how could she bear to let Qiao Nian speak for her
She didn't think about it for too long. Her expression became firm. She stood up and said to the man on the bed, "I'll make a phone call."
…
She didn't call He Yujuan, but called Qiao Weimin.
At that time, Qiao Weimin had just got off the plane and returned home. He received a call from Aunt Chen, so he grabbed his coat and hurried out, then drove to the municipal hospital to find Aunt Chen.
After asking about Chen Yuan's situation, he didn't waste any time and started calling to find connections in front of Aunt Chen.
Although Qiao's Real Estate collapsed, Qiao Weimin's network of contacts was still there. He had been in the business world for many years and his brain was much better than Aunt Chen's. When faced with such a thing, he did not look for people like a headless fly, but called someone he knew at the police station and asked them to help check the system to find the person.
