Chapter 469 I was also forced

There was an oil lamp in the room before they knocked on the door.

There are no electric wires in Lishu Brigade yet, so there are no electric lights.

Every household used either kerosene lamps or candles.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening and most people were asleep, with only a few houses still having lights on.

This includes the Lao Qu family.

Many rural people don’t hang curtains, so you can see people sitting on the kang and talking through the light.

The moment Lu Qiaoge shouted this, a figure blew out the oil lamp.

Then the Qu family fell into darkness.

It was Chen Zhi's first time to go out to work at night, and she felt that everything was new.

At this moment, his eyes widened in shock and he said, "What...what does this mean?"

"What else could it mean? A guilty conscience."

Lu Qiaoge continued to knock on the door, shouting as he did so, "Auntie Qu, Auntie Qu, I see you, please open the door for me! This is great news! The higher-ups have given Caifeng two job openings to take care of her, but the registration form has to be submitted tomorrow morning. I saw that Qu Caifeng hadn't returned yet, so I had to come to your house. If we're late, it would be a big loss, right?"

Several people in the room were in the dark, looking at each other.

But in fact, blowing out the lights is a very stupid act.

Old Man Qu glared at Old Mrs. Qu in the darkness.

"Turn on the light quickly." Then he said to his youngest son, "Go open the door quickly."

Old Lady Qu grabbed him and said in a trembling voice, "No, you can't open the door. You can't let them in."

"But that's a job opening. Applications are due tomorrow morning. It would be a shame to miss it."

The youngest brother Qu had no idea what his family had done to his eldest sister. He went to school in the commune and did not come back at noon. Even now, he had just returned not long ago.

He said without any defense: "My eldest sister is not at home, she went home, why...she is not home yet? Mom and Dad, please light the oil lamp quickly, is there something wrong with my eldest sister?"

Chen Zhi, standing outside the door, looked towards the yard curiously.

This talking boy is quite interesting.

But I felt worried.

She didn't know Qu Caifeng, but she heard that the person had already gone back, but they came to look for her. That meant she didn't go back. Did something happen on the way?

At this time, Mrs. Qu and Old Man Qu in the room looked at each other... Yes, everyone told others that Caifeng had returned home, and no one knew that she was in the Shangen Brigade. Aren't they both guilty?

Qu Dadi, who was standing by, lowered his voice and said, "Light the lamp."

So the lights in the house were turned on, and the door of the Qu family was opened, but Lu Qiaoge and the others were not allowed in.

Old Lady Qu glanced warily at the three young men who came.

Without waiting for Old Lady Qu to ask, Shao Le stepped forward and showed her his work ID with a flashlight, saying, "We are all from the Xiangyang Subdistrict Office. Where is Comrade Qu Caifeng?"

Old Lady Qu clenched her hands tightly together, her voice trembling slightly, but she still said, "She...she went home. What happened? Didn't she see anyone?"

"Yeah, I didn't see her. Qu Caifeng didn't even come home, so we came to pick her up." Lu Qiaoge said seriously, "Then something must have happened."

Qu Caifeng is not at the Qu family now, so there is no point in entering the yard.

Lu Qiaoge also comforted Mrs. Qu: "Qu Caifeng hasn't returned home yet. She must have had an accident on the way. We will go to the commune to report the case now. Don't worry, we will notify you as soon as we have news."

As he spoke, Lu Qiaoge took the lead and walked outside.

In fact, Shao Le still didn't understand many things, but when working with Lu Qiaoge, all he had to do was cooperate with her actions. Shao Le did this very well. He pulled Chen Zhi along and ran away.

The Qu family didn't expect that the person who came didn't even ask any questions, and when he found out that the person was not there, he went to the commune to report the case.

Old Man Qu reacted and shouted, "Don't report it yet, wait a minute!"

Lu Qiaoge stopped, but was a little surprised.

Because the news that Xiao Cang Cang told her at this time was a little different from what she expected.

The fool's sister... the girl who was going to marry Qu Caifeng's brother tomorrow also went down to the cellar at this time. The old lady shouted from above, "Why are you dawdling? Hurry up." But the fool's sister lowered her voice to the embarrassed Qu Caifeng and said, "Don't shout for now. I will find a way to get you out. Believe me, I was forced to do this too."

After Xiao Cangcang told Lu Qiaoge about this, he flew back in a flash.

Shao Le asked Old Man Qu, "What's the matter with you calling us?" Then he frowned and said, "Do you want to report the case with us? Well, we have a car to take you there."

How could Old Man Qu dare to go with us to report the case?

I thought it was a secret, but who would have thought that someone from the military factory would come to take me away at night.

I haven't heard that the damn girl is so popular in the military factory. She comes here either to scold this or that. Anyway, there are almost no good people in her mouth.

So they all thought that Qu Caifeng was not liked in the military factory and no one cared about her life or death.

"Well... I mean, she's already grown up, what kind of accident could happen to her? You're just overthinking it. We're so safe here now, nothing will happen to her. It's so late, why are you bothering the commune?

She must have run off to someone’s house. You don’t know, Caifeng, we as parents can’t control her. She doesn’t listen to us…”

Mrs. Qu, who had come to her senses, chimed in, "Yes, yes. We told her to go home early because she has two children. She said we can't control her. She can go wherever she wants. She even wants to go to a classmate's house or a good friend's house to play..."

We don't know where she is. If she hasn't gone home yet, she must have gone there. Don't bother the comrades at the commune and the police station anymore. She'll be home tomorrow.

Besides, that girl has a bad temper. She spent a lot of time cursing at your Xiangyang Subdistrict Office when she came back. You guys made such a big fuss about it, you want the whole commune to know about it. If she feels embarrassed, she'll definitely hold a grudge against you, but it's not worth it, right?

As a mother, I know what's going on. You guys should go home. As for any job recruitment, if you can catch up, then do it. If you can't, that's fate."

This situation cannot be reported now.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Do you know whose house she went to?"

Why did she feel that the parents in this family didn't seem to worry about their daughter at all?

If these were my own parents, they would definitely take action immediately without any nonsense.

"How would we know? That damn girl never takes us seriously. We don't know who she's dating. Oh, you guys should hurry back to the military factory. It's really nothing. Don't worry."

Shao Le wanted to speak, but Lu Qiaoge nodded and said, "Since you as parents understand what's going on, then all right, Aunt Qu, I'm sorry to bother you so late. We'll leave first."
