The third aunt looked at Yu Li's kind look, and felt a sense of embarrassment in her heart.
Since Yu Li married into the Li family, it stands to reason that the relationship between Yu Li and her family should have been at a freezing point because of the previous events.
Even if Yu Li met her and spat on her face, it was a normal thing.
but.
Yu Li ignored her past grudges and often helped her.
Now that she sees her being bullied by Chen Yuanyuan, she is even more willing to lend a hand to help.
Compared with Chen Yuanyuan, there is a world between heaven and earth.
He didn't dare to do those stupid things back then, so Li Weidong got an advantage in vain.
But now it's too late to regret it. Chen Yuanyuan is pregnant. Even if she doesn't want to, she can't blame Chen Yuanyuan at this time.
The third aunt took a deep breath and suppressed her dissatisfaction with Chen Yuanyuan in her heart.
"Yu Li, it's okay. I understand your kindness. There is really nothing wrong with my family."
Yu Li is also aware of the current situation of the Yan family. Although she is dissatisfied with Chen Yuanyuan's noisy behavior, the Yan family does not think it has anything to do with it, and she, the second uncle of the courtyard, cannot interfere too much.
After all, this is a family matter of the Yan family.
Yu Lila pulled Li Weidong's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Weidong, today I got a reward from above. I was given half a catty of brown sugar on the street. Let's go home and I will make you brown sugar tea."
"Good!"
Li Weidong nodded happily and returned to the backyard with Yu Li.
The so-called brown sugar is actually made by boiling and drying sugar cane directly. Because it contains more impurities, it appears red in color.
The taste is far inferior to ordinary white sugar, but in this era, it can be regarded as a rare nutritional supplement.
Yu Li picked up the spoon, dug out half a spoonful of brown sugar from the paper bag, put it into the enamel jar, and then gently stirred it twice.
The boiling water instantly turns orange-red, exuding a sweet smell.
Take a sip of the snack and your whole body will feel warm. Drinking a cup of brown sugar water in the winter is the most suitable thing to warm your stomach and ward off the cold.
Li Weidong was enjoying brown sugar tea happily when there was a knock on the door outside.
Yu Li stood up and opened the door. When she saw it was Qin Huairu, she turned her head and shouted into the room: "Brother Wei Dong, the uncle is here."
When Li Weidong saw Qin Huairu's beaming smile, he knew that what he had told her was already clear.
Not wanting Yu Li to get involved in the investigation of Yi Zhonghai, Li Weidong invited Yu Li to the kitchen to cook dinner.
Yu Li also knew that Li Weidong had important matters to discuss with Qin Huairu, so she smiled and said, "Master, you stay at home for dinner tonight."
Then he smiled and nodded at Li Weidong, and went into the kitchen to get busy.
Inside the hall.
Qin Huairu kept staring at the bag of brown sugar, her mouth twitching and swallowing, her greedy little cat look clearly revealed.
But Li Weidong seemed not to notice, picked up the thermos and poured her a glass of boiling water.
"Master, please drink some water."
Seeing that Li Weidong didn't give him any face, Qin Huairu could only put her thoughts aside and look away from the candy wrapper.
He glanced at Li Weidong angrily, seeming to complain that Li Weidong was too stingy.
Li Weidong laughed and didn't care. He was joking. Yu Li is also a careful woman. She will definitely remember the number of precious things like brown sugar.
On the surface, Qin Huairu was just the eldest son of the courtyard, and his relationship with the Li family was not good, so he was not worthy of being treated with brown sugar.
If Li Weidong makes tea with brown sugar and gives it to Qin Huairu, it will definitely arouse Yu Li's suspicion.
Li Weidong often walks by the river. He just relies on his steady hands to keep his shoes from getting wet.
"Brother Wei Dong, you really got it right. You asked me to stare at the deaf old lady."
"Aunt Yi entered the deaf old lady's house today."
"After she came out, she ran straight outside the compound."
"I took Qin Jingru with me, and the two of us followed Aunt Yi."
Qin Huairu took a sip of tea and didn't care about the brown sugar issue. She recounted what happened today.
Qin Huairu hesitated and was timid, so she could only call Qin Jingru, and the two of them followed Aunt Yi together.
Aunt Yi took a bus to a village called Shitou Gou on the outskirts of Beijing, and came to the yard of the second home at the west end of the village.
A local dog was tied up outside the yard. Aunt Yi seemed a little scared and lingered there for a long time. It wasn't until a passing villager saw Aunt Yi's predicament that she stepped forward and knocked on the door for Aunt Yi.
Because Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu were afraid of being discovered by Aunt Yi, they could only hide next to the wheat stack in the distance. They couldn't see clearly, but they could tell that the person who opened the door was a farm man in his fifties.
He didn't seem to know Aunt Yi. When he saw Aunt Yi, his expression seemed to be so surprised that even Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru could detect her from such a distance.
But Aunt Yi seemed to have said something, and the farmer man's face suddenly changed, became enthusiastic, and invited Aunt Yi into the small courtyard.
"That's all we found. Isn't it useless?" Qin Huairu felt a little regretful when she thought of the situation at that time.
When she was in Shitougou, she had every chance to get closer and hear clearly what Aunt Yi and the peasant man said.
However, she felt inexplicably afraid.
Li Weidong can understand Qin Huairu. If he goes by his speculation, the peasant man is probably a pawn of the deaf old lady.
The power of the chess pieces varies. Some may just deliver messages, while others can help the deaf old lady deal with some people who block her way.
If it's the latter, once Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru get close, they have no experience and no tracking training, and they are likely to be discovered on the spot.
Once exposed, they will definitely not be that person's opponent just because they are two lesbians.
If there is a chance in the future, maybe I should help Qin Huairu practice her skills. Maybe it will come in handy sometime.
"It's okay. You made a wise choice by not coming forward. From now on, you should stop following Aunt Yi. I will handle this matter."
After listening to Li Weidong's words, Qin Huairu beamed with joy.
She stood up and took a sneak peek into the kitchen. She blushed and said in a low voice, "Brother Wei Dong, I have made a great contribution this time. Do you have to reward me?"
Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. This is the rule Li Weidong set for Qin Huairu and the others.
Rules are rules, and even Li Weidong himself cannot break the rules, otherwise how can he convince others.
Although Li Weidong has been a little tired recently, he still nodded: "Okay, let's meet in the cellar in the evening."
"I'll go back and take a shower."
Qin Huairu blushed and ran out when a word came in from outside.
The night is quiet.
The residents of the courtyard fell into a deep sleep one after another, and occasionally the painful sounds of fighting could be heard.
The residents are not surprised. After all, the houses in the courtyard are all old houses, with exposed windows and holes in the wooden doors. They have to do something, right?
In the cellar, one day later.
Li Weidong took out a cigarette and lit it, smoking happily.
Qin Huairu leaned beside him.
Playing with Li Weidong's big hand, Qin Huairu whispered: "Brother Wei Dong, the last time I went to see Bangge, he said that he couldn't stand the constraints there and wanted to come back early."
According to the regulations there, students who enter need to study hard for three years before they can graduate.
BangGeng has only been here for two months, and you can’t stand it anymore?
Li Weidong chuckled and said: "Sister Qin, you also know what Banggeng's temper is. He was spoiled by Jia Zhang in the early years."
"He is like a big tree that has grown crookedly. If it is not corrected in time, this life will be over."
"I spent a lot of effort to get Bangge in, and now you have to take him out."
"Do you want to destroy him?"
Qin Huairu just felt sorry for Banggeng, not because she was unreasonable.
She also knew that if Bangge came out, he would definitely hang out with those green-skinned fools on the street.
I also know that Li Weidong is actually doing it for the good of the gang.
Qin Huairu let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Wei Dong, I listen to you. If you go to see Banggeng next time, let him put out his thoughts."
"This is right!"
Li Weidong felt happy and got busy with his hands.
early morning.
Yu Li started to suffer from morning sickness again in the past two days. Li Weidong couldn't bear her being busy in the morning, so he bought fried dough sticks and soy milk from the street.
After eating and taking Yu Li to the street office in person, Li Weidong rode his bicycle to the police station.
Now the small policeman is the leader of the Jia Maolin case task force. Now that he has got the clue, he naturally has to report it to the small policeman.
In the police officer's office, the police officer frowned after listening to Li Weidong's words.
He looked at Li Weidong in disbelief: "Brother Wei Dong, do you mean that the deaf old lady wants to use her old relationships to save Yi Zhonghai?"
"Yes, I got news that Aunt Yi was seen delivering a message for the deaf old lady."
Li Weidong told what Qin Huairu saw and heard. Of course, he concealed the names of Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru.
The police officer knew that Li Weidong was well-informed and did not find it strange.
He took a deep breath from his cigarette and looked up at Li Weidong: "Do you want me to investigate the information about that farmer?"
"Okay, I will immediately contact the Shitougou Commune in the suburbs of Beijing to obtain the household registration of the farmers. I will notify you when the results are available."
The junior police officer is now at a critical moment for promotion. If he can successfully solve this case, his position as captain may be stable.
After getting the clue, I couldn't wait. After sending Li Weidong away, I rode my bicycle and went straight to Shitou Gou Commune in the suburbs of Beijing.
Li Weidong walked around the poverty alleviation workshop as usual, and then chatted with Niu Meng for a few words.
Since learning that Niu Meng had congenital hyperthyroidism, Li Weidong has paid special attention to her situation.
I felt a little relieved when I found that there was nothing unusual about Niu Meng.
However, once complications occur, congenital hyperthyroidism may become an incurable disease.
Therefore, Li Weidong did not dare to be careless.
After leaving the poverty alleviation workshop, we went directly to the office of the steel rolling mill.
In the communication room of the factory office, there is a telephone with a special line that can be connected to the port city.
In this era, communication between the mainland and the port city was relatively sparse, and telephone lines were also limited. This was specially granted to the steel rolling mill by the superior department so that the poverty alleviation workshop could contact the Yang family.
According to regulations, the use of this kind of phone requires the approval of the ministries and commissions. However, the communication with the port city was too frequent. Sometimes it was necessary to communicate seven or eight times about the delivery date. If a report was made this time, it would then go through the ministries and commissions. Approval would delay things too much.
Therefore, the ministry specifically stipulated that if the call was made to the Yang family's private plane, there was no need to report to the superiors.
But the procedures that need to be done still have to be done.
The phone was kept by specialized personnel. After Li Weidong filled out a form and indicated the call party and the call time, the comrade answered the phone.
The call was answered by the Yang family's housekeeper. He spoke with a strong southern accent. When he learned that Li Weidong was looking for Yang Xueli, he said a few words that Li Weidong couldn't understand and hung up the phone.
Li Weidong took out a cigarette and handed one to the custodian comrade, and then lit one himself.
After a while.
The phone rings.
Li Weidong picked up the phone.
"Hey, is this Shirley Yang?"
"Yes, hey, it's Director Li. I was busy in the flower room when I heard the housekeeper report that it was a call from the mainland. The caller's voice was very deep, so I knew it was you. But why did I remember to call him? I called."
Li Weidong was speechless when he heard the angry words on the other side. Before leaving the capital, Yang Xueli repeatedly told Li Weidong that he must call her often.
As a result, Li Weidong has been very busy these days and has no time to make phone calls.
Of course, part of the reason is that Yang Xueli's status is quite special.
Li Weidong only wanted to be an ordinary truck driver.
Now I just want to make the poverty alleviation workshop bigger and stronger.
Then accumulate connections and capital until spring comes.
I don't want to get involved in too many things.
That's why he deliberately alienated Shirley Yang.
"Haha, I'm kidding you, you can call me, it's too late for me to be happy!"
Yang Xueli seemed to be aware of Li Weidong's embarrassment, and quickly said with a smile: "Director Li, just tell me, do you still want me to raise the price when you call this time?"
With the hot sales of solar panels in Hong Kong, Europe and the United States, the price of solar panels has also increased day by day. Compared with when it was first released, the price of solar panels has more than doubled.
Li Weidong took the opportunity to propose that the supply price of poverty alleviation workshops should also be increased.
Although the Yang family has a special relationship with the mainland, they are also doing business after all.
To do business, you must make the most profit.
Therefore, of course, Shirley Yang would not agree to increase the price.
At this time, Li Weidong faxed an agreement signed by the Yang family to Yang Shirley.
There was a clause in the agreement, which was circled by Li Weidong in red pen.
"The Poverty Alleviation Workshop can take the initiative to end the cooperative relationship with the Yang family and find a partner. It only needs to notify the Yang family ten days in advance."
When signing this agreement, the Yang family's legal team also noticed this clause and reminded Mr. Yang to pay attention.
But Mr. Yang didn't care.
In his opinion, if the poverty alleviation workshop wants to sell solar panels overseas, it must go through the Yang family.
Who would have thought that in just over a year, the situation would have changed drastically.
With the hot sales of solar panels, more and more large multinational companies want to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
They took the initiative to send people to contact the poverty alleviation workshop.
