Jiang Ci's proposal is feasible to some extent. Zhao Cuihua's family has power and influence in Zhongmo Town, so achieving the situation Jiang Ci described is not difficult.
It's not difficult to find a family to pretend to be the couple who raised her "biological son," and then find a child the same age as Sun Yaozu to pretend to be her "biological son."
As for what they should do, that's not something Jiang Ci can worry about.
Jiang Ci, whose throat was dry from talking, took a sip of water and glanced up casually, noticing the clock hanging in the deputy director's office.
Upon seeing the time on the screen, her expression cracked.
11:30...
broken!
Jiang Ci abruptly put down her water glass and stood up abruptly. "I'm not talking to you guys anymore! I still have work to do!"
After saying that, Jiang Ci ran outside.
This young man left like a gust of wind, before anyone else could even react!
Zhou Gou also glanced at the time, then suddenly remembered something, turned to Cheng Huasheng, and whispered in his ear, "My sister-in-law still needs to deliver lunch to the old man, so it's probably too late at this time."
Zhou Gou felt a little guilty. Jiang Ci had delayed delivering food to Mr. Cheng because she was trying to help him. If Liu San from the cowshed saw this, he might make things difficult for Jiang Ci.
He looked down at Cheng Huasheng and said, “Mr. Cheng, how about we... go directly to the brigade? We can also see my sister-in-law off. That red-armband guy in the cowshed is always looking for an opportunity to take advantage of things. I’m worried he’ll make things difficult for my sister-in-law.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Huasheng immediately tensed up. He nodded and said, "Of course... of course."
Cheng Huasheng glanced at Li Ailian and nodded to her.
The couple stood up together and said, "Please continue your conversation, we'll be leaving now."
Zhou Gou also stood up. "I believe Director Chen will give me an explanation regarding Wang Zhaodi's matter. My daughter is still waiting for me outside, so I'll go back first."
Deputy Director Chen wasn't oblivious; without trying to stop them, he immediately stood up and saw them off.
After waiting for Zhou Gou to catch up with Cheng Huasheng with his daughter, Deputy Director Chen turned back.
He said to Cuihua's father, "See that Jeep with the Beijing license plate parked outside? Who is this Mr. Cheng?"
Cuihua's father remained tight-lipped, "This Battalion Commander Zhou went all the way to the city to pick up the person, do you think he's some nobody?"
Director Chen paused for a moment, then did not press the matter further.
At this moment, Cuihua's father didn't have much energy to care about who Mr. Cheng was. He turned back to continue discussing with his family how to put on this show.
...
Jiang Ci hadn't gone far when the jeep caught up with him.
Cheng Huasheng invited her to get in the car and promised to take her directly back to the production team.
With a car to take them, Jiang Ci didn't hesitate and simply nodded, handing the bicycle to Cheng Huasheng's bodyguards, who then tied it to the roof of the car. The group headed straight for the Shanding Production Brigade.
The car had four seats, and besides the guard driving it, there were six other people in it, making it a bit crowded. Zhou Gou sat in the front row, holding Zhou Huai in his arms. Cheng Huasheng was also holding his daughter. Li Ailian sat in the middle, with her husband and Jiang Ci on either side of her.
“We were quite busy this morning and didn’t have time to introduce ourselves,” Li Ailian said to Jiang Ci with a smile. “My name is Li Ailian, and I’m a high school physics teacher. This is my husband, Cheng Huasheng, and that’s our daughter, Cheng Ke.”
Cheng Huasheng smiled at her, while Cheng Ke, with a sweet tongue, tilted her head and smiled at Jiang Ci, "Hello, Aunt Jiang."
Jiang Ci smiled slightly at Cheng Ke, "Hello, Er Gou may have told you about me before, I am Jiang Ci."
Cheng Huasheng: "We know. We've known about you for a long time, but we're only now coming to Zhongmo Town to meet you in person."
Jiang Ci nodded. "Although this is our first meeting, we both understand why you know me. So let's be frank and skip the formalities, okay?"
Cheng Huasheng and Li Ailian exchanged a glance when they heard Jiang Ci get straight to the point.
This is quite different from how Jiang Ci insisted on getting Zhao Cuihua's answer before offering any advice.
However, this put Cheng Huasheng at ease. He nodded and said, "Yes, Comrade Jiang. I really want to know how my father, Cheng Yehan, is doing now?"
Jiang Ci said, "I went to deliver breakfast to Mr. Cheng at 6:30 this morning, but I didn't see him."
Didn't see it?
"This is very common. I usually leave the food at a fixed location, and Mr. Cheng will come out to get it himself after I leave. When I deliver lunch after he finishes eating, I take the lunchbox with me. Unless there are special circumstances, Mr. Cheng and I always avoid each other."
"The last time we met was because it was raining, and I had to stay in the cowshed to help take care of Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Huasheng never expected that his father was being watched so strictly.
His superiors assured him that nothing would happen to his father, but now it seems...
Even with relaxed conditions, and my father no longer needed to work or cook, and could do whatever he wanted in the cowshed, he was still strictly controlled.
Jiang Ci glanced at Cheng Huasheng's furrowed brows and said, "The food in the lunchbox was all eaten last night, which proves that your father is doing well and can at least eat and drink."
Cheng Huasheng forced a smile, "You're right."
He clenched his fists and said nothing more.
Before Cheng Yehan's accident, Cheng Huasheng had always studied physics with him and researched airplane engines together. In his heart, his father was strong, intelligent, and exceptionally gifted.
Such an exceptionally intelligent person was harmed by treacherous people and suffered torment in a cowshed.
Because of his deep feelings, Cheng Huasheng's heart was pounding after he agreed to take Jiang Ci back.
She was nervous about seeing her father whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and even more afraid of seeing his current appearance.
Cheng Huasheng was suddenly jolted back to his senses and glanced at the person whose hand was suddenly grasped.
But then he saw Li Ailian smile at him, a smile that seemed to offer reassurance.
Cheng Huasheng's emotions gradually calmed down. Seeing his father was a happy thing, and there was no need to be nervous.
He quickly struck up a casual conversation with Jiang Ci.
"You're Battalion Commander Zhou's sister-in-law. Why are you the only one in town today? And your husband...?"
Mentioning this, Jiang Ci's relaxed mood crumbled.
Zhou Gou turned his head and said, "He's in Linyun City. We thought we might bump into him there, but we didn't see him at all!"
Jiang Ci pouted: You guys don't go to the hospital to see a urologist, of course you won't see him.
Cheng Huasheng asked with concern, "Is there some trouble? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Jiang Ci: "No need, he's just taking care of a small matter, he'll be back in about seven or eight days."
I wonder if Zhou Mingli is in the hospital yet. He took more than 100 yuan with him when he left, which should be enough for a month of hospitalization, right?
Jiang Ci thought of Zhou Mingli and silently pondered what Zhou Mingli's current situation was.
