Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie resisted for a long time, but the old lady insisted on this, and finally got angry about it, "Then you should unload the pressure well, I don't want it anymore."
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie had no choice but to accept it.
The old lady smiled happily and said, "That's right."
The old lady looked at Lu Yao with a smile, "Also, if I need anything in the future, you can just buy it. I won't ask anyone to deliver it."
She is old and has many mobility difficulties, so she has to be delivered.
Pork costs 70 cents a pound at the market, and the butcher gives it to you for only 1.5 yuan, which is more than half the price.
Lu Yao frowned, "This is too outrageous."
"Instead of giving this money to others, it is better to give it to you. You have to go out and buy things every day anyway."
Lu Yao: "Grandma Yue, the money you just gave me is enough for a long time. From now on, you tell me what you like to eat and I will buy it."
The old lady said, "That won't work. This is the money to dig a well for you. From now on, I will pay you the price others ask me."
Lu Yao pretended to be angry and raised her face, "Grandma Yue, who do you think I am? You are taking advantage of the situation. Duan Mingjie and I eat at your house every day, and if we charge outrageous prices, people will talk about us if word spreads."
The old lady glared at her, "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Who knows?"
Lu Yao put on a fake smile and said, "Okay, Duan Mingjie and I won't be here anymore, so you should continue to let others deliver food to you."
The old lady compromised, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Lu Yao was an activist, so she and Duan Mingjie delivered the letter that day.
The two came to the city center and found Zhao Wenxi at the address given by Grandma Yue.
Zhao Wenxi was wearing a Chinese tunic suit. He looked to be in his sixties and elegant.
He looked at Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie, "Who are you, Aunt Yue?"
Duan Mingjie: "We are her neighbors."
Zhao Wenxi thought about it carefully and smiled at them, "I know all Aunt Yue's neighbors, but I have never met you."
The man's smile was gentle, and even though he was questioning, it didn't make people angry.
Lu Yao curled her lips, "We moved here not long ago. If you don't believe it, you can open the letter and read it. You should recognize Grandma Yue's handwriting."
Zhao Wenxi lowered his head and glanced. There were also words on the cover. If he hadn't recognized Aunt Yue's handwriting, Zhao Wenbin wouldn't have told them so much.
He raised his head and asked, "How is Aunt Yue doing lately?"
"Grandma Yue is in good health, stronger than ordinary old ladies, but I think she is quite lonely. It would be great if her relatives could go over and accompany her from time to time. I wonder who you are?"
Could it be the child of Grandma Yue’s sisters?
Zhao Wenhui did not answer Lu Yao's words, but looked at her one more time.
I can say this because I really wish Aunt Yue well.
"Did Aunt Yue ask you to bring me a message?"
Lu Yao shook her head, "She just asked me to give you this letter and didn't say anything else."
Zhao Wenjun thought for a moment, stood aside, and smiled at them, "Come in and have some tea."
Inviting people into the house for tea is sometimes a disguised form of chasing away guests, so Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie naturally did not stay.
Eastern Division.
Zheng Weiguo frowned, Tang Long stood in front of him.
"Brother?"
He has been in this state since he told his elder brother the results of the investigation.
Isn't it a good thing that Dong Niannian was confirmed to be his biological daughter? Why is there no trace of joy on the eldest brother's face?
Zheng Weiguo pinched his eyebrows, "Is your brother sure?"
Tang Long blinked and asked instead, "Brother, what are you suspecting?"
Zheng Weiguo's forehead twitched.
What was he suspecting?
He couldn't accept that Dong Niannian was his child.
In Chen City, the good impression he had on Dong Niannian faded away little by little after he came back.
He and Hua Ni are both so aboveboard, but why is Dong Niannian so... cunning, sowing trouble, and acting like a villain.
The longer time goes by, the less close he becomes.
"Brother?"
Zheng Weiguo's expression darkened and his voice was low, "Tell your brother not to relax and continue the investigation. I will check everyone with the surname Dong nearby. Don't miss any clues."
Tang Long frowned, somewhat disapproving of his approach, "Brother, if Nian Nian finds out, aren't you afraid that she will be sad?"
Zheng Weiguo's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart filled with dense pain.
Yes, if Nian Nian was his daughter, she would definitely be sad if she found out that he doubted her.
"Brother, can you tell me why you are suspicious?"
Zheng Weiguo and Tang Long were close friends, so they did not hide it from him at this time and told him what happened recently.
Hearing this, Tang Long smiled.
"I thought it was a big deal."
Zheng Weiguo looked at him with disapproval on his face, "Do you think these are trivial matters?"
Tang Long nodded, "At least I think it's nothing. Look, Nian Nian had no father or mother for the past twenty years and had to depend on others. It's not surprising that she developed such a character. You just need to give her more guidance. Who is Lu Yao you are talking about? That girl who came to the capital before, don’t be so nice to others if you are not a relative. If you have too close contact, Nian Nian will definitely be jealous. For the sake of an outsider, it affects the relationship between your father and daughter. It is not worth it. .”
Zheng Weiguo exhaled heavily from his nostrils.
In his eyes, Lu Yao was never an outsider, but a junior he admired very much.
Why can't Nian Nian understand him?
"It's better not to let your brother's people evacuate yet. Let your guard down first and continue the investigation. It's best to go through all the families with the surname Dong in Chen City, especially the famous ones. Once you find anything abnormal, report it to the police immediately. I."
He always felt that Hua Ni's character was not like that of a child raised by an ordinary family.
Perhaps this will be a breakthrough point.
Seeing his persistence, Tang Long had no choice but to nod, "Okay."
A week later, the village chief took Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie to the Public Security Bureau to apply for their household registration, but was told that the information was insufficient.
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie were dumbfounded.
The village chief also wondered, "Comrade, what information do they lack?"
The staff member glanced at him, then his eyes fell on Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie, then lowered his head and continued working, "I'm not very clear about this either."
Hearing this, Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao's eyes changed.
Duan Mingjie smiled good-naturedly and said, "Comrade, if you don't tell us what we are missing, how will we prepare when we go back?"
The staff didn't even raise their heads, "You go back and wait for the news first. I will convey the news to your village chief when there is news."
Obviously I don't want to do it for them.
Duan Mingjie maintained his smile, "Comrade, are you free at noon? Let's have a meal together?"
This time the staff member raised his head and looked at Duan Mingjie seriously, "Comrade, this is the Public Security Bureau, not a place for you to pay bribes."
"Then why did you deliberately not allow them to settle down?"
The village chief on the side finally couldn't help but speak.
The staff looked a little unhappy.
The village chief continued, "Comrade, you are not new here, and this is not the first time I have applied for a household registration for someone. We all know whether their information is complete or not. Even if it is really incomplete, you can tell us what is missing. I just let them go back and prepare."
"You said you asked them to wait for news, but you and I both know that they probably won't be able to wait for any news. It's obvious that you are deliberately making things difficult for others. Isn't it normal for them to think that you want to bribe?"
