Tie Lanyan was originally a little hesitant.
It wasn't until two days later that something happened that made her make up her mind.
"Lan Yan, right? I'm Deputy Director Zhang of the textile factory, and I'm a good friend of your father."
A kind-looking middle-aged man was standing at the door with a box of cakes in his hand and a smile on his face.
"Hello, Uncle Zhang. Please have some water."
Tie Lanyan welcomed the person into the house and made a cup of brown sugar water and handed it over.
Deputy Director Zhang smiled and put the sugar water on the table without drinking it. He directly explained the purpose of his visit today.
"As a representative of the textile factory, I am here to express my condolences to you. By the way, I would like to ask you about the arrangements for your father's remaining work."
The original owner's father was a truck driver in a textile factory when he was alive, and he had been working there for many years.
His monthly salary is 40 yuan, plus more than 10 yuan in overtime allowance, which makes nearly 60 yuan a month.
If the original owner's mother hadn't been in poor health and needed to take medicine all year round, the family's savings might have been even greater.
Such a good job, many people are jealous.
When the former textile factory manager came to distribute the pension, he also told the original owner about the job prospects.
The original owner was in a bad mood at the time and didn't think about anything else, so he just said he would think about it for a while.
Now more than a month has passed, and I guess the textile factory has made arrangements, so they sent people over.
Tie Lanyan: "Uncle Zhang, I want to sell the job my father left behind."
If it were before, Tie Lanyan might have considered taking an easier job in a textile factory.
But now, she doesn't want to take this job at all.
There were too many acquaintances in the textile factory, and with so many people watching, some of her actions would be restricted, which was very inconvenient.
Deputy Director Zhang smiled and said, "You are right. How about this? I happen to have an acquaintance who needs this job. You can just sell it to me."
Tie Lanyan nodded: "Yes."
Deputy Director Zhang took out some money from his pocket and handed it to me: "Here is 500 yuan, count it."
Tie Lanyan's face froze: "How much?"
"Five hundred yuan." Deputy Director Zhang explained: "The job your father left behind is not worth much. It is worth this much at most."
Tie Lanyan's face turned completely cold.
"Uncle Zhang, my parents are not around, is this how you bully an orphan like me?"
Deputy Director Zhang's smile faded: "Do you think it's too little?"
Tie Lanyan smiled and asked him, "What do you think?"
Deputy Director Zhang: "How much do you want?"
Tie Lanyan held up two fingers and said, "Two thousand yuan, not a cent less."
The job of a truck driver in a textile factory is very popular and can be sold for one thousand yuan according to the market price.
Deputy Director Zhang thought that she didn't understand, so he cut the price in half and looked like he was giving her alms.
In that case, she would double the original price to humiliate him.
As she expected, Deputy Director Zhang was really angry.
"Tie Lanyan, you are just like a lion, you are treating me like a fool!"
Tie Lanyan simply nodded: "Yes, I just think you are a fool, who calls you black?"
Deputy Director Zhang's face suddenly darkened:
"You are a very good talker, girl. Do you believe that I can make sure you don't get a penny if I pay you?"
Is this using the background to threaten her?
But Tie Lanyan didn't buy it.
Tie Lanyan sneered: "Then come, I'll wait."
She can kill people without batting an eyelid, so why would she be afraid of these things?
"I didn't expect that there would be a problem in the Tie family." Deputy Director Zhang looked at her with a fake smile:
"Did your father ever tell you that he had secretly helped an old landowner two years ago?
Tell me, if I report this to the authorities, will the factory take back all the money he has earned, and he will lose his job.”
Tie Lanyan's expression froze.
Deputy Director Zhang smiled with satisfaction:
"Girl, I'll give you a few days to think about it. Whether you want 500 yuan or nothing, it's up to you."
Having said that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait! You haven't drunk the sugar water yet!"
Tie Lanyan picked up the enamel cup on the table and splashed it hard on his face.
"You!... You are fine! Three days, no more waiting!"
Deputy Director Zhang said this and left angrily.
Three days?
Tie Lanyan snorted coldly.
She will report it tonight.
If you don't want her to have an easy life, then forget about it!
......
Tie Lanyan entered the space.
She currently sorted out all the belongings of the original owner and her parents in Tuanyuanju.
Now she is going to look for it to see if she can find some clues.
In the original owner's memory, his father was a very gentle and kind person.
He worked diligently in the textile factory and always had a good reputation. Everyone respected him.
Such a loyal and honest person had to bear an unwarranted accusation after his death.
Tie Lanyan would never allow such a thing to happen.
However, she searched for a long time in Tuanyuanju and found nothing suspicious.
Could it be that Deputy Director Zhang lied to her?
Or did he say that his father helped the old landlord without anyone knowing, without leaving any trace?
Tie Lanyan frowned and suddenly remembered something in her mind.
Oh, right! I haven’t read the letter in the wooden box in front of you yet!
She was so busy that she forgot about it!
Tie Lanyan thought about it, and an antique wooden box appeared in her body.
Open the wooden box and find a yellowed envelope lying quietly inside.
Tie Lanyan quickly opened the envelope and read it carefully.
This is a suicide note.
The original owner's father had dreamed about his and his wife's death a long time ago, and he wrote such a letter out of fear.
The first sentence of the letter is "My daughter Lanyan, I'm sorry..."
Tie Lanyan's throat tightened, and an uncontrollable sour feeling spread throughout her body.
It took her 10 minutes to finish reading the letter.
The first part of the letter contained some words of comfort, and the latter part explained the family's situation and property, as well as who was needed to help in times of difficulty.
What’s funny is that Deputy Director Zhang’s name is also on the list.
My poor old father regarded me as his trusted friend, but I bullied his daughter after he passed away.
I really met the wrong person.
The letter also said something very important.
My father did provide financial support to a large landowner two years ago.
The big landlord gave him some buns when he was young, and he always remembered it, so he secretly repaid the favor.
Unfortunately, the old landlord died within half a year due to so much torture.
Before his death, he left a considerable treasure, all of which he gave to his father free of charge.
Tie Lanyan's eyes lit up instantly!
The Landlord's Treasure?!
There must be a lot of gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings!
