After the two children left, no one came anymore. Seeing that he had some free time, Sun Zhengguo prepared to talk about the case.
Just then, Sun Dajiang pushed his cart and walked in from the door, beaming with joy.
"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad! I wish you good health and all the best."
"Hey! Dajiang, what's up? Judging from your expression, is there some good news?"
Grandpa, forgetting all about New Year's greetings, quickly stepped forward to inquire.
"Dad, of course there's good news! Just now, Yu Li gave birth to a big, healthy boy. Our Sun family has gained another member."
"Ah~!...Hahaha! Good, good, good, this child has come at just the right time, auspicious and prosperous, bringing great fortune to the Sun family...Excellent!"
Grandpa was so excited that he was incoherent, and the gloom of last night had been swept away.
Grandma clasped her hands together and murmured, "Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva protect my Sun family and keep us safe for generations to come..."
Seeing that everyone was so happy, Sun Zhengguo decided to make them happy even more.
"Dad, Second Uncle, I have good news for you. The case from last night has been solved, and all the assets of our two families have been recovered. You can go to the police station to collect them at any time."
"Really? It seems like this is double the joy."
Sun Dahe was pleasantly surprised and couldn't wait to ask more questions.
"Zhengguo, quickly tell your second uncle what's going on here. I've been wanting to ask you this, but I haven't had a chance yet."
"Alright! Then I'll tell you the whole story..."
As Sun Zhengguo continued his narration, the people in the room couldn't help but start cursing.
"That damned Jia family, how did they raise their children? They're always doing these bad things."
"Serves him right. A scourge like this should be eaten as peanuts to avoid wasting food."
...
The second aunt was so angry that she immediately flew into a rage, "No way! I'm going to the Jia family to confront Qin Huairu. As the saying goes, even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow! What kind of thing are they doing?"
"Yes, yes, yes! We can't let them get away with this. I support the second son's family; we will never let them off the hook." Grandma echoed.
Seeing the two women's indignant expressions, Sun Zhengguo simply smiled and stopped them.
"Grandma, Second Aunt, you don't need to go. Going will only make you uncomfortable."
"My dear grandson, why is that? Are we afraid of her and just let her precious son sneak into our house?"
Sun Zhengguo then explained, "Grandma, this isn't something to be afraid of. Think about it, it's a done deal that Banggeng will go to jail, and there's a high probability that he'll be severely punished."
"If you were to cause trouble now, given Qin Huairu's personality, she'd probably be kneeling at your door, crying and begging you to let her son go. Wouldn't that be incredibly annoying, especially during the New Year?"
"So we're just going to leave it like this?" Auntie asked again.
"That's right! Let's just pretend we don't know anything and have a peaceful New Year. All we've lost is some food, and we'll have to ask her family to return it anyway. Wouldn't it be better to let her stay at home in fear?"
After his son's analysis, Sun Dajiang felt it wasn't impossible. Just thinking about someone kneeling at the door every day was disgusting.
In the end, everyone decided to keep quiet and pretend they knew nothing about it.
After that, Grandma and Second Aunt went into the kitchen and started cooking for the hospital staff who stayed behind.
After finishing cooking, the Sun family, having learned from their mistake, left Sun Zhengdong and his wife to watch the house as usual.
The rest of the group went to the hospital, while Sun Zhengguo went to Yu Li's house.
After all, it wasn't convenient to notify them last night, so it wouldn't be right not to go and tell them today...
It was noon soon, and in the obstetrics and gynecology ward, Yu's mother was carefully feeding her daughter chicken soup.
"Be careful, don't burn yourself. And you, at your age, don't you know you're pregnant? Why were you so agitated? Thank goodness the baby's okay, otherwise...? Humph!"
Seeing her mother nagging, Yu Li didn't argue back. She was so angry at the time that she couldn't think of anything else.
Fortunately, more good news came this morning: the money was recovered and the son is healthy. Who cares what she says?
Sun Zhengguo was also there, and seeing that his little nephew was healthy, he was relieved.
He ate a few bites of lunch quickly and then handed the two children over to their grandparents.
Then, he grabbed the car keys, took his wife, and prepared to visit several high-ranking officials.
Because I have to go to my mother-in-law's house tomorrow, I might not have time. The day after tomorrow, my family will probably be even busier, as some subordinates will definitely come to visit.
There's simply not enough time, so I have to visit the leader now.
On the other side.
Qin Huairu, who was having dinner at home, was restless and had no appetite at all.
Because her son went out yesterday afternoon and hasn't come back yet.
"Where could Bang Geng go?" Qin Huairu couldn't figure it out.
Is there really no other way?
She had no choice but to put down the cornbread, tell her daughter to take good care of her younger sister, and then go to the front yard to ask Lin Wencui for help in looking for her.
The result was obvious: Lin Wencui's daughter-in-law was so angry that she was hospitalized, and there was no one left at home.
Qin Huairu, having missed her target, had no choice but to go to the backyard to ask Liu Haizhong for help in finding a solution.
She first briefly explained the situation, and then began to plead desperately.
"Second Uncle, you must help me."
"Huai Ru! You just said Bang Geng didn't come home, so when did he go out? Is he out playing around?"
"This...?" Qin Huairu was speechless.
Her son went out yesterday afternoon, but she can't say.
Because when Liu Haizhong asked her yesterday, she lied and said her son was at home!
Therefore, in order to avoid being discovered, she could only use another lie to cover it up.
"Uncle, my son said he was going to buy firecrackers this morning, but he hasn't come back yet. Why don't you ask the neighbors to help look for him?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong frowned, thinking to himself, "It's only been a few hours. Maybe the kid is playing somewhere and setting off firecrackers!"
However, as the leader of the hospital, Liu Haizhong did not say that, but accompanied Qin Huairu to the front yard.
The two of them asked several households, but of course no one had seen it.
Qin Huairu knew this was the outcome, but she couldn't say it, feeling as if she had trapped herself in a cocoon.
At this point, Liu Haizhong decided not to ask any more questions and planned to wait and see.
"Huai Ru, you've seen the situation. No one has seen your son. Why don't we wait a little longer? Maybe he'll come back on his own soon. Don't worry."
"No, Uncle, my son is still a child, how can I not be anxious? Please help me, could you ask the neighbors to help look for him? I'm begging you!"
Qin Huairu was truly anxious; her son was her life, and she couldn't afford to let anything go wrong.
“Huai Ru, it’s not that your second uncle doesn’t want to help you, but there’s no precedent for this in our courtyard. You’ve only been gone a few hours and you’re already looking for someone? Have you ever seen anyone do this before?”
Although Liu Haizhong had a strong desire for official position, he also knew that this kind of thankless task would easily attract criticism, so he dared not agree to it at all.
"Please, Uncle, I really have no other choice. Please, I'm begging you, I'm kneeling down."
As she spoke, Qin Huairu, disregarding whether it was appropriate or not, actually knelt down.
This sudden turn of events left Liu Haizhong feeling like he'd been ripped off.
For the first time, he felt utterly powerless; he realized that being a leader in the compound wasn't easy either.
no way?
If I call them outsiders, I'm afraid I'll get scolded. But I can always call them my own family, right?
In the end, the two unlucky brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, took on the important task of finding the stick.
But are these two people responsible?
The two brothers left the courtyard house and went straight to the cinema to watch a movie…
Only Qin Huairu remained, anxiously awaiting news in the courtyard.
