Chapter 687 I Know Where He Is

As soon as Song Yiwa finished speaking, the phone on the table rang. Cheng Hui picked it up and it was Gao Qishan.

"Oh no, Zhu Qiufang and Gao Qiang are missing!" said Gao Qishan.

"What does 'missing' mean? When did it disappear?" Cheng Hui asked.

"Zhu Qiufang pretended to be sick every other day and was crying. I just didn't bother to pay attention to her. Today I remembered that I hadn't seen her for several days. I went to her house and found that she was gone! Both she and Gao Qiang were gone. I don't know when they left or where they went." Gao Qishan said.

After Zhu Qiufang divorced Gao Laosan, she returned to her parents' home. Later, her parents did not want her anymore and sent her back to Gaojiatun.

Gao Qishan thought that it would be good if she was in his hands, so he could instruct her to continue planning to go to the toilet.

They settled down in a dilapidated house of a family with no descendants in the production team.

Ever since Cheng Hui left, the villagers stopped going to Zhu Qiufang's kang to clock in every day, and they scolded her to wake her up.

Only those who are in a bad mood and want to vent their anger on someone will go there to punch in again. The longer the time goes, the fewer people will go there.

The toilet didn't need to be cleaned every day, and Zhu Qiufang started pretending to be sick and didn't want to work every few days.

By the time Gao Qishan reacted, the place was empty.

"She only took Gao Qiang with her? What about Gao Mei, Gao Li and the others?" Cheng Hui asked.

"She didn't take them with her. I heard that she went to live with her parents a week ago. I guess she was planning to run away at that time. I don't know what conditions she negotiated with her parents' family, but the Zhu family was willing to take in those children." Gao Qishan said.

"I didn't give them a letter of introduction. I asked around and found out that none of the team leaders or captains around here had ever given them one. That must be true. Do you think they went out to beg for food?" Gao Qishan said.

Zhu Qiufang did not go through normal channels. She did not get a letter of introduction from the production team and simply disappeared. Even without a letter of introduction, the other side would have taken her in.

In fact, you can go out without a letter of introduction, but this is only true for beggars, as no one checks a beggar's letter of introduction.

There were also beggars at this time. They found a temporary base, and then carried a cloth bag and went from house to house begging for food and grain. Kind people would give them a bowl or half a bowl, and then they would sell the food for money.

If you have tried everything around, just change the place.

It's all hard-earned money, not much, but enough to make a living.

Gao Qishan suspected that they had pushed the mother and son too hard, and they couldn't bear it anymore and had to go out to beg for food.

Cheng Hui thought of the sudden appearance of Zhang Lushi and the handkerchief whose identity was confirmed by the Qi and Zheng families at a glance, and she had some guesses in her mind.

After seeing the handkerchief, both families were 100% sure it was Zheng Yajun's handwriting, so there could be no mistake.

The only people who have Zheng Yajun's things are Gao Laosan and Zhu Qiufang, or the Gao family's burdens.

The most likely person is Zhu Qiufang.

She used the handkerchief to exchange for benefits and get away with it.

Does Zheng Manru know that this Zhang Lushi is fake?

"Uncle, I met a man in Beijing today. His name is Zhang Lushi. I heard he is from our area. He is in his 20s, has no parents, and was adopted by the Zhang family." Cheng Hui explained briefly.

Gao Qishan nodded: "There is such a person, a refugee girl adopted by Zhang Laoshi. It is said that..."

He paused, feeling a little hesitant to start, but then he thought that since Cheng Hui had asked, it must not be a casual question, so he just said whatever he wanted to say.

"It is said that Zhang Laoshi and his son, Zhang Lushi's adoptive father, fought over this refugee girl until they were bloodied and broke their heads. They both quit being father and son and severed their relationship. In the end, the refugee girl was taken away by Zhang Lushi's adoptive father and moved out of Zhangjia Village to the next commune."

Cheng Hui... "Did his adoptive father have a wife at that time?"

Gao Qishan said: "At that time, the country had not yet been established, and people were allowed to keep concubines. The refugee girl became his concubine, and was later struck to death by lightning."

Zhang Lushi became famous because of this incident.

Otherwise, it would not be surprising to see the streets full of people fleeing famine at that time.

Cheng Hui nodded. There actually was such a person.

She asked for some more information about the refugee woman, but it turned out that Gao Qishan didn't know anything about her. She had been dead for so many years, and he had never seen her in person, so there weren't many rumors about her.

Well, there is no evidence now.

"It's nothing. Let them run away. They can't cause any big waves." Cheng Hui said.

She had a place to find out where the person had gone. She could find him by following the clue of Zheng Manru.

Gao Qishan wanted to ask why Cheng Hui asked Zhang Lushi, but then he thought better of it and decided not to ask. He couldn't help much, so it was better for him to know less.

Cheng Hui thought about it and took the initiative to speak: "This Zhang Lushi is amazing. He found his biological father. His biological father is in the capital. He is the biological brother of Qi Jiaojiao who went to the countryside before. Now he changed his name to Qi Dingbang."

Gao Qishan opened his mouth and thought for a long time before he understood. He stammered, "No, no, no, no, he is not...her brother is not...that person?!"

"He came with a token of trust, a handkerchief, and the Qi family accepted it. That's good." Cheng Hui said.

"What's good about that? Why don't you go and tell them the truth? We can't let the cuckoo take over the magpie's nest!" Gao Qishan was anxious.

He doesn't know anything else, he only knows that having a father who is a high-ranking official is better than having a father who is nothing! Multiple assists are always good.

Even if you don't recognize it and don't need it that much, you can't let others get it for free! Let the scammers get the advantage!

Cheng Hui said: "Don't worry, what's fake won't become real, let them play with it first. You can find some time to go to the Zhang family to congratulate them. I wonder if they know that the adopted son they raised with so much effort is now very successful."

She is now certain that Zhang Lushi is deliberately impersonating someone else, because what he said: Mom told me who my father is...cannot possibly be true.

Someone must have told him this later.

"Okay, okay, I got it!" Gao Qishan hung up the phone and left.

He pretended to go to Sanjiazi to do some business.

Zhang Lushi used to live here, in a village near the commune.

I had just chatted with the team leader of the Sanjiazi production team for a few words when I saw a few people coming in anxiously and asking, "Team leader, is there any news about our road picker? What did the police say? Have you sent anyone to look for him?"

The team leader frowned and said, "The police said they are looking for him, but there is no clue or direction. They told you... not to hold out too much hope. If he is still here, he will come back. If he is not here... the police will definitely solve the case once they have clues."

An old lady immediately sat on the ground and slapped her thigh: "Oh my Lu Shi! My big son! I feel so sorry for him!"

This is Zhang Lushi’s adoptive mother who likes to pretend in front of outsiders.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on with her. Apart from anything else, Zhang Lushi was 26 years old, had a job and earned a salary, but could not find a wife. He wore tattered clothes every day. All the money was given to her, and the son she gave birth to was used to get married.

Everyone knows whether she is good to people or not.

"Zhang Lushi must have run away because he couldn't stand the life of exploitation anymore," said a bystander.

"I would run away if you asked me to. This is a new society. We don't want to be slaves anymore!"

"The Zhang family is just going too far."

"Where do you think Zhang Lushi can go? He doesn't even want his job anymore, and he doesn't even have a letter of introduction."

Gao Qishan's eyelids twitched. No letter of introduction either?

He suddenly connected Zhu Qiufang and Zhang Lushi together. It was Zhu Qiufang's doing again!

If I can’t deal with her now, I’ll deal with Zhang Lushi!

"Huh? Who are you talking about? Zhang Lushi? Is he the child whose mother was struck to death by lightning?" Gao Qishan said.

Everyone fell silent, and no one paid any attention to this curious man.

The team leader of Sanjiazi was very respectful to Gao Qishan: "Yes, yes, it's him."

Gao Qishan is now holding a tractor! We still have to rely on others for the autumn harvest!

"I know where he is." Gao Qishan said.
